Umichi saw the two finishing their targets, as he finished his. Checking his inventory, "No, sorry Suki." he said. [i]Damn it, is there another monster to get the ingredient from? [/i] he thought, slightly shaking his head. "I will continue the quest for now, and it will probably be one of the monsters we find along the way to get the drop. Don't worry, we will get it, and everything will be fine." He said, trying to assure them, and keep the situation calm. 

Approaching Hina, things seemed ok. "Are you okay?" he asked the NPC girl, she was young, and her health was about just over 20%. "We're here to help" he said, stepping in close to her. Suddenly, appearing from above was a Large Nepent. [i] What the!?[/i] was all he could think. It seemed to have materialised not even a meter above his and Hina's head. [i]A glitch? The monsters don't just appear right? And not just on top of people like this.[/i] he thought, pushing Hina out of the way. He had to be quick. The Nepent had from the point of materialisation, to falling to the ground, was less than half a second. The other two had no time to react at all. If they had been there, they would of been crushed immediately. A NPC Harrassment box came up. [i]Not the time![/i] he thought. Hina was safe, due to his push. He had dived forward, pushing her out of the way. While in mid air though, the Large Nepent landed, crushing his feet.

Pain shot through his legs. It was intense. He didn't let it out though. [i]WHAT THE FUCK!? Did a glitch happen to the pain levels? Did they turn on or something!?[/i] His legs were crushed, the pain immense. His health hit critical quickly. Quickly, with his blade, cutting at the Nepent's roots, he had made some room, and used his body to roll away. His legs wouldn't move. Using a health potion, his health recovered, but since his legs were crushed, he couldn't stand. He needed a health crystal. That fixed ailments and status effects in most cases.This Large Nepent had a flower on it's head. It was larger than the ones before, and a lot tougher. The crushing had caused him to suffer a huge 40% critical, as well as damage over time, while it was on top. Hina was safe still, the Nepent went to charge at Umichi. He wouldn't be able to get out of the way. "Yumi! SWITCH!" He called out. All he could do was sit there, since his legs couldn't move. His legs actually appeared deformed. "Careful, I think the pain levels are on at the moment." he warned. "I'll do my best to help at the back with my knives, you two take it down. Be extremely careful. If someone has a health crystal, give it to me please." he commanded while begging at the end.

An announcement appeared overhead, for all of Aincrad to hear. "A glitch has occurred. The pain levels have been turned on. We will fix this within the next 5 minutes. We wish to warn you all to be careful." [i]Great, tell us when it happens, and my legs get crushed[/i] Umichi thought. It was 13:45 at that point in time.
