[BR-F26] Paving the Way to Floor 27 [Gabrandr-The Broken King]


Recommended Posts

Deadline for Groups 3 and 4 is set to 11:59 PM CST Tuesday, 11/30

Gabrandr stood tall and strong as the next wave of people charged him, weapons blazing in a myriad of colors. Unlike previously, he no longer jerked away from the pain of the attacks. Instead, he stood and took it. His own power would protect him as it had before back in Galtea. It was the only reason he had made it out but his loved ones had not. 

As the first two struck, their blades would fall towards him slower, hitting with less force. It was hardly visible, but as the weapons connected a dim blue light would appear, covering his entire body like a bubble. However, the third one caught him by surprise. The young man's light had been weaker so he hadn't expected it when that bubble shattered around him from his attack. The blade struck true and for the first time since he had used the power of the Fates, he would falter. Before Gabrandr was even able to counter, the rest were on him. Their attacks were almost perfectly coordinated with one another's to prevent his attack. It reminded him much... of the past. 

As lights flashed and the blades struck, those that attacked would notice something. As their weapons made their attack, it wouldn't feel like they were striking armor nor flesh. It would feel odd. Just as much would the game's reaction to him being struck. Instead of the normal red gashes and shards that would fly into the air, instead Gabrandr's wounds would appear as cracks in his armor that burned with his signature blue flame. Over time, these cracks would slowly piece back together, but it was almost as if the player's weren't really attacking him directly. 

The last to attack would be the large man he had attempted to reason with earlier, who was fighting in a... odd way. An elbow to his face would bring a surprising amount of damage as the thorns pierced into the side of his face. For a moment, Gabrandr's real face might've been able to be seen, it his helm quickly reconstructed itself as his blue flame burned hot. Finally, with no one to back the man up, Gabrandr was able to retaliate. Slamming into @Shieldwith his own shield, he would quickly finish an attacked with a powerful pierce that would leave the man sprawling with blue flames singing at his sides. 

Turning from the man he had just attacked, he looked onward to put out the fires in the room. The ones who desired nothing but to stop what he had started. The ones who refused to do anything but ruin everything. The ones that kept messing with the Scathers had had built. They had seemed to become more attuned to turning it off then before. Eyeing one, as soon as he took one step forward he would become met with a resistance. The two's blades would crash, Gabrandr looking down to meet The Wanderer's eyes. Through the attack, Gabrandr could grasp an understanding on the force that resisted him. 

Words would be heard by none other than Raidou as the words themselves seemed to infiltrate the man's mind. "So you too... have something to protect?" They would stand for a moment, sparks flying into the air as their weapons grinded against one another. A heavy sigh would be emitted before the spectral weapons that had begun to surround Raidou, ready to pierce the man from any angle, would fade into the air. Pushing Raidou off, he would return focus to one of his Scathers, a light shining from his hand as the mist gathered and brought the machine to life.

Abilities:

  • [King's Blade] - If Gabrandr rolls a BD/MD:9+, his attack deals 400 DMG and reduces target's MIT by 20 for 2 turns. This effect does not stack and repeat activations of it will only refresh its duration.
  • [Fate's Hand] - Gabrandr's attacks use the higher of either BD and MD when making an attack roll.
  • [Fate's Armiger] - All of Gabrandr's attacks gain [PHASE]
  • [Activate] - Gabrandr will activate one [Makeshift Scather] every rotation. 
  • [Fate's Shield] - Reduces final DoT and RAW DMG by 10%. (This effect doesn't apply in the case of Gabrandr being under the effects of "Shatter")

Attacks:

  • [Sword Monarch] - On a CD:10-12, Gabrandr's attack adds the effect: [Weakened]. Weakened decreases DMG, ACC and EVA by 1, and MIT by 20. This effect lasts permanently unless it is removed with [Purify]. This skill stacks with [King's Blade]. 

 


Makeshift Scathers

• If not disarmed or disabled before the conclusion of the round in which it is activated, each Makeshift Scather explodes and deals 200 unmitigatable damage to all members of both active parties. 
• Targets that take damage from an exploding Makeshift Scather have their accuracy reduced by 2 for the next 2 turns.  This effect can be refreshed, but does not stack.
• Attempting to disarm a Makeshift Scather requires a post action. Players from any party may attempt to disarm any active Scathers by rolling natural LD. Those with Lockpicking (including Dismantling), Nimble, and Paragon Level 10 loot bonus gain these respective LD bonuses to this roll. 
• If more than one Scather is active, the specific target of a disarming attempt must be identified in the purpose of the roll to be valid.

N. Makeshift Scather: Disabled
E. Makeshift Scather: Inactive
W. Makeshift Scather: 0/30 LD Activated!

A parade of weapons rushing through the air, mixing with a sapphire blue glow of some strange shit he was peeling out of the floor or walls. Watching the man lift a hand up as her eyes flickered in gold. "Seems you ere stuck with something. Let's help that along, shall we?" A bit of spite graces her tongue, as in reciprocation of his gesture was one of her own. A small stone dropped to the cobbled and wet stone, bursting under the sound of Shiina's voice. It swirls and collects in that flame, twisting it purple as it seeks it down like water in a root. Her view quickly shifts, and she locks eyes with Sam. "Let's get these stupid things out of commission." Looking toward the frontliners, the twinned vanguards Eruda and Raidou in that mix. "That's what we can do, Seems Shiina has that one handled fine."

The girl squealing in the corner as the scather she was riding starts to buckle and parts fall of its sides. "Give me a hand." Simmone brandishes her rapier, tracing lines of energy with <<Appraisal>> ripe on her iris. "There, peel that valve." Shoving the point of her weapon through a bit of hose, and it quickly starts to flicker and dim with that impaling needle like weapon.

A flicker as she becomes visible to others eyes which were now staring in her direction. A sigh, "This damn skill has never worked right for me." Glancing at what Simmonè was intending, she followed suit. Grasping tightly onto the valve as her maiden carves deeper to push it along further. Sam holds her breath with a small ongoing grunt. With a twist and turn, latching her other hand on the device, she pulls as hard as she could. Eventually it pops out and Sam falls backwards on her ass. A grin as she tosses it behind her, hearing clanking against the ground. Getting to her feet, picking her weapon of the ground as she begins to switch gears of her own. Placing her current weapon away, bringing out a different weapon. "It's time to rumbo," as she turns and faces the evil dude with a grin painted on her face. Twisting her battle ax to the other side of her, she was getting ready to get some action.

The change in the boss' form did not come as a surprise, it was to be expected after all. With the initial lackluster NPC appearance now gone, the blonde couldn't help but smile at the new form. A small glance to the raid health bars confirmed they were still on the green and the fast work of the Firm Anima maidens removed, at least for the moment, one of her immediate concerns.

Ariel squinted her eyes at the new tittle in the boss' name. The extra HP bars adding fuel to her determination to strike it down. She felt a slight tingle in the palm of her right hand and looked to her side, the cursed weapon manifesting for the first time in a while, it's dark flaming mane. "I agree, those are some pretty blue flames." she muttered, once again the wielder and the weapon'a will aligning.

The violent attack on Lesa barely registered on the scout's conscience and any other dialogue didn't seem to phase her either. She instead adjusted her pose and charged at the boss. As it turned to meet her attack, the blonde sidestepped and left three slashing marks on its armor. The change to the ultra-light cloak armor seemed to now offer her an edge as the blue fire engulfing the boss began to get tinted with black on the spots where she struck.
"You're not the only one here that likes playing with fire." she once again taunted as the dark fallen effect from her weapon started now extending and consuming the blue flames of the shield in its hand. Her 4th and last hit aimed to pierce through the boss' main defenses, hoping to give the rest of her team an opening as she tried to remove its shield.

Was it nerves that had Oscar hesitating? He'd wasted an entire window of opportunity to leap into the fray. Everything that had transpired in the moments since the fight began in earnest whipped by him like a blur. It couldn't be his nerves. He wasn't shaking. It couldn't be fear. His heart wasn't racing. Had he merely zoned out for a moment? Oscar had never been one to particularly enjoy the scripting that all of the bosses followed. He was already about as immersed in the game as one could be so all this grandstanding that the bosses tended to do just disengaged him from the task at hand. A weakness that he would need to correct moving forward. But, for now, he was here and he was in the moment.

It was time to get to work.

Oscar had never used Howl before. Was it a verbal trigger or just a button to be "pressed?" It was past time he found out. Activating the skill, a discordant roar ripped from his throat. The guttural noise could be heard keenly over the din of combat. Obviously by design. How would one be expected to get a boss's attention with a soft squeak? Oscar was on the board now and the boss would be forced to regard him, in terms of local threats, as the one he should stick his weapons into expediently. It was the best Oscar could hope for. He was a step closer to getting the situation under control so no one else in the party got Lessa'd.

Just like before, the cannon thingies were deactivated, shot down, eviscerated, even before Macradon had a chance to act, therefore his only objective was to wither down the health of the boss as fast as he could. The single health bar converted into multiple others, showing the true colours of the fallen king, now resolute with his decision to blow up parliament. “I’d mostly agree with how you want to run things, but violence isn’t always the answer … but who am I to talk, yeet!” he retorted at the king and went in for another attack. But alas the knight missed the target, but just barely glancing off of the king’s armour. Despite the missed attack, Macradon was just as resolute as the king, landing in a proper position to strike with a much better angled attack for his next swing, unless the king were to do something about his current somewhat compromised position from unsuccessfully executing his sword art. Morgenstern still seemed to be the forefront of the king’s attention, which helped Macradon feel safe in his vulnerable position for a bit longer.

If she were asked about it at a later date, NIGHT would proclaim it bravely that it was a feint.

In truth, it was nothing more than sheer luck. She had half the mind to follow the cannon in suit, toppling over onto the floor in that pile of rubble just as the parts began to disintergrate, signature Cardinal style. And the wave of heat that burned stronger over them, blue flames dropping and coalescing* off Gabrandr's form-- only an enticing target would make themselves shine and sparkle in midst of combat. Something about family, and losing people he'd loved. Something about what he was doing, attacking a whole city of other entities just similar to himself, justified. Motives she wouldn't particularly remember, for he'd seen right through her.

Jack was more the person than arsenal compared to its wielder, itself. Almost as if weeping, a conversation weapon-to-weapon, the armiger moved by the fallen king's actions. That smudge of dark slick, painted on the woman's fingertips merely forced a grunt of annoyance out of her, eyes shifting from the dismantled structure to the figure animus. 

She shook it off. Dashed forward, seeping into the arena in a blur. A diagonal strike, sword lunging upwards, swiping at the armored remnant in a rain of empathetic jet slush, the sweep orchastrated by steel itself -- NIGHT was only the medium, its sole conductor.

She knew not what each party felt, the woman tearing herself off the guard from her back-handed slice. But bouncing on the balls  of her feet, attention fixed on their enmity, she resigned herself to partake in matters of her blade.
They would talk in violence. The player was only their translator.

He's doing it for his people? 

Something inside Lessa softened, and her sword dipped as she dropped her guard. Was there a chance that violence really wasn't the answer? This man had begged them to leave, over and over, and even given them the chance to do so. Was the game capable of producing such tricky boss fights? It certainly wouldn't surprise her. I wonder if there's another way...

Those were the exact words slipping through her mind as the king turned his attention on her. Weapons she hadn't even noticed sliced through the air, streaking toward her like heat-seeking missiles. A heartbeat later, they struck, engulfing her entire body in ice-blue flame.

She thought it was over. It had to be over. Yet even as Lessa blinked back the initial shock, she watched the king follow up with yet another attack. He moved with inhuman speed, traveling so quickly that she'd have sworn he simply materialized beside her. Fear, hot and raw, consumed her entirely. She sucked in a hard breath, but it was all she could do before the floor boss dragged and X shape across her heavy armor, and blasted her backward.

Lessa collapsed in a tangle of limbs and steel. Shaking her long hair from her face, her dazed blue eyes moved instinctively to her health bar. One-third down. In a single attack? Still on the ground, Lessa allowed herself a few moments to breathe. Fear still surged through her veins, but as her heartbeat finally slowed, so did her trembling. By the time she found her feet again, the woman had regained some control.

"I did feel bad for this guy," she growled to her companions, "but I'm over it now."

To demonstrate, Lessa hefted her enormous sword over her shoulder. It burned brilliantly, the light nearly as bright as the boss' own flames. Both gold and silver wove together, a galaxy of stars, swirling as it filled with power. "Now I'm mad."

Channeling all over her strength, her might, and her anger, Lessa slashed her holy sword across the Fallen King's chest, a near-perfect mimicry of the attack he had used on her only a moment before.

As her attack struck first, the battle would change. Several of her allies aided her in the attack but to their distress the boss had only began warming up. A brilliant display of blue embers gleamed through the battlefield as Gabrandr revealed his hidden strength. Now covered in an armor and surrounded by an arsenal of glowing blue weapons, the man was attacking with a new purpose. He was now good enough to be considered a threat, especially with him priming his machines every few moments. Luckily, Simmone and her underling were keeping that in check.

Hidden now found herself hesitating. The boss's strength meant nothing to her, but the way the room reverberated with whatever kind of magic he was wielding worried her. In fact, it reminded her of the unsettling way Shiina made her feel. Perhaps she just didn't like people who the room seems to gravitate in favor of? 

Mustering her courage, Hidden activating the finale of her combo, and assaulting the boss with a single powerful stroke across his chest. Bounding away, she couldn't help but feel even further unsettled. Looking to her dagger, she found it was burning the last few wisps of blue flame from the boss. Her dagger hadn't met flesh nor armor. It was like she wasn't attacking the boss's body. Why was his health bar blue anyway? It wasn't adding up. Why was his health bar the same shade as her energy bar?

Jonathan's eyes narrowed at the flashy display of the boss. Were they finally getting into the real fight? Had they seen what they gotten their proper introduction now? It was barely after that thought passed through his head before the boss was on him, and he was forced into a defensive stance. Blocking the blows with his katana, he couldn't help but feel the extreme pressure of the titan pounding away at him. What strength was he possessing now? A singular attack and almost a third of his health gone. It slowly began to creep up, but how much more of it could he take. 

Who was supposed to be the healer again? Simmone? No, she was the machine girl with the knack of turning them off. Without that, they wouldn't stand much of a chance. Who knew if the game would bury them below the rubble if any more of those went off. Before the boss managed to get too far away, he tried to swing his weapon in a powerful arc. Failed. In fairness, it was the first time he had tried attacking with the new system. His sword art list had changed drastically.

Zandra saw the fight against this fallen king, that wsnt a fallen king. A change had changed, a change that didnt surprised the berserk healer. That one health bar had duplicated into four. "Well, it dosent change the fight really." She mumbled to herself. It did changed one thing thou, Zandra would have to focus more on the healer part of her task then her previous combat style. That would feel strange thou as she glanced down at her axe. Would he, Teseleths fury, never hit an enemy floor boss anymore? Would he be just a tool to kill ads for loot? Zandra gritted her teeths. What would she do? Follow her main task or do what she have done so many times before? What she loved? That she still enjoyed after all this time. She glanced at Lessa, and her healthbar. It wsnt full, but it wasnt that dangerously low either. "Im sorry Lessa." She mumbled silently, not sure she herd or not.

Zandra took a steady grip around the black shaft of her two handed weapon. Her eyes turned to the boss, and her eyes catched fire as she felt the exsitment of combat starting to build up in her. A smirk on her lips as she exploded forward with her charge skill. "Huh?" She didnt flew towards the boss. "Oh right, dont have charge anymore." She said disapointently. "Need to look into this after the fight." The fire sligthly faded but still burned brightly

Deadline for Groups 1 and 2 is set to 11:59 PM CST Monday, 12/6

The King of fallen Galtea stood tall, accepting any of the blows coming his way. He made no attempt to block or side step them. The blow would land if that was what was ordained by Fate. His abnormal health bar continued to drop as every blow sapped at it. Honestly, he wasn't too concerned about it. He wasn't even concerned about the attacks. While the others could not see his eyes, it was more than obvious that his gaze rested on the black-haired woman in skin-tight armor. Fists tightening on his sword and shield's handles, he would watch as another of his precious scathers fell into ruin. Was it even possible for the plan to continue? He would have to protect the other two... or use them before the warriors destroyed them. He needed to get to the girl but too many stood in his way, hacking at him and blocking the path forward. Turning to another Scather, he would summon the surrounding energy to power it on as he had many times before. 

For now... he had to have some sort of way to slow them down. He couldn't let them stop him from saving his people. It was his duty as King. Releasing his hands, his weapons would melt into the air. They would only add to the rainbow mist. The gashes from the previous attacks had already been molded over with a fresh layer of his blue armor. According to appearance, all of their powerful attacks had been for naught. Raising a hand over the ground, a massive spear rose from the ground, carved from the very floor beneath their feet. However, the stone weapon was now enhanced thousands of times over with a bright burning flame of his own signature. 

A fleeting image passed through his mind. A smile was all it was. A smile... that he had failed to protect. Was he going to stand by why the rest of the smiles were lost? No. Leaping into the air, he would ascend about twenty feet before he met his peak. Launching the weapon down, it would hit the ground with a deafening sound. The blow would split the ground, creating rips in the floor that would spread across the entire battlefield. From the cracks, blue flame rose up, their burning fury sparing none in the area. Only those that were the lightest on their feet had the chance of escaping the attack. 

Landing on the ground, a harsh sound would be heard as a heavy sigh came from his lungs. If this was what was necessary to save his people, he would destroy everything in the way of their salvation. A glance at the weapon he had used, the crude stone spear still burned brightly as it remained implanted in the ground where it had struck.

  • FR Thrn Crit 32, 0/2 - applied when Gabrandr strikes Macradon

Abilities:

  • [King's Blade] - If Gabrandr rolls a BD/MD:9+, his attack deals 400 DMG and reduces target's MIT by 20 for 2 turns. This effect does not stack and repeat activations of it will only refresh its duration.
  • [Fate's Hand] - Gabrandr's attacks use the higher of either BD and MD when making an attack roll.
  • [Fate's Armiger] - All of Gabrandr's attacks gain [PHASE]
  • [Activate] - Gabrandr will activate one [Makeshift Scather] every rotation. 
  • [Fate's Shield] - Reduces final DoT and RAW DMG by 10%. (This effect doesn't apply in the case of Gabrandr being under the effects of "Shatter")

Attacks:

  • [Sword Monarch] - On a CD:10-12, Gabrandr's attack adds the effect: [Weakened]. Weakened decreases DMG, ACC and EVA by 1, and MIT by 20. This effect lasts permanently unless it is removed with [Purify]. This skill stacks with [King's Blade]. 
  • [Bitter End] - Every 3rd Turn, Gabrandr's post action against all parties becomes an AoE attack dealing 200 DMG. This attack can trigger [King's Blade] and benefits from [Fate’s Armiger], but cannot trigger [Sword Monarch].

 


Makeshift Scathers

• If not disarmed or disabled before the conclusion of the round in which it is activated, each Makeshift Scather explodes and deals 200 unmitigatable damage to all members of both active parties. 
• Targets that take damage from an exploding Makeshift Scather have their accuracy reduced by 2 for the next 2 turns.  This effect can be refreshed, but does not stack.
• Attempting to disarm a Makeshift Scather requires a post action. Players from any party may attempt to disarm any active Scathers by rolling natural LD. Those with Lockpicking (including Dismantling), Nimble, and Paragon Level 10 loot bonus gain these respective LD bonuses to this roll. 
• If more than one Scather is active, the specific target of a disarming attempt must be identified in the purpose of the roll to be valid.

Howl CD [2/4], Parry CD [1/4], Parry Duration [2/3], Raidou recovers 60 via BH

Watching the whole of parties 3 and 4, which included so many he knew. A lingering filament of memory for each of them. The blonde and her pet, the guilds merchant. The agent just recently swapped into a different division. Fighter from the dark. An ode to trust. So many he knew. The shadow from the snow. A massive spear erupts and makes them all disappear, and once the dust clears. The ringing in his ears, like a bomb had gone off nigh leagues from him. "Damn right, I do." Raidou recoils from the words rattling behind his eyes, reaching for those lenses and plucking them free. But something was off, something was different. He looks back to Eruda, then that view shifts to Freyd. On those normally placid lips, a smile that he never wore.

"The difference is, you were given a chance and failed it. What mistake have you made?" The voice was hoarse and taxed, rough like sandpaper and mixed with a second bit of bass.

A sudden surge of red with a thump in his ears, as constriction begins around his chest. Raidou's eyes take to rich crimson, matching the fleeting red like silk that played from the floor. But that color mixes and twists, <<Concentration>> in full swing. "Every chance, and you can argue any semantics you'd like. The truth was, there is always a different way. We were not at ends at first, but you refused to speak. You're a monster, I know a thing or two about them, you see." The lenses begin to fold, and find their way into a pocket.

Harsh static rips down the length of his weapon and back, and within that brief second the red wanderer slams into the man's held steel. It casts forked bolts down and around the man, that Impossibility still racking his bones and fiber. Glancing off a sea of floating blades one after another like incoming arrows. A subsonic boom sees them collide. Staring through and past the interwoven hilts, a plain but vibrant blade bleeding with the cry for blood, mirroring a dying sun it had been given. "So I ask again, King of a fallen people. King that sports a crown, One that would sacrifice everyone in this chamber for his own's salvation. What mistake have you made?"

A smile given back to Raidou, one that said -I believe in you-. There was nothing that they couldn't do as long as everyone was on the same page. It was a bit painful that she couldn't be there for Simmonè or Sam. Eruda would just have to trust that they take what they have learned and use it. Eruda gives a small sigh before her eyes turn to the Scather, it had to go down. Hearing Raidou shift in tones, he makes her feel good that Raidou put his faith in her. Enough to open up like he did. A grin before running and sliding to the mechanism to try working her magic on it. Taking the tip of her blade, she jams it in a gear of sorts as it becomes overheated. Click, click, click, as sparks began to fly in, a bit of plastic melts causing it to stop in place. "This one is almost down," calling out as she pulls her blade out and shifts her body back toward Raidou, watching waiting...

Opportunities to decipher the truth behind Galtea's defeat by Ladonian hands had been few and far between, but Freyd had scrounged a few glimpses - enough to form a primitive picture of shattered national and personal pride.  Given what was happening before them and the quad of Death Star lasers this dude had pointed at the ceiling, he wasn't feeling particularly sympathetic.  A shared glance with the vanguard was enough to know that their flank was solid even as the other took the brunt of the king's assault.  They needed to draw his ire back this way and give the other group the time required to recover.

"How the hell is this supposed to help anyone?!  You're not sacrificing yourself in some some noble act of martyrdom, but threatening to repeat Galtea's fall and aiming to blow up another city.  As if that will somehow 'save' your people?  Wake up, asshole.  What part of this doesn't seem completely wrong?"  A twinge of pain flicked across his face from not-fully-suppressed impulses as the last of his scather-scorched false flesh knitted itself whole.

"You're a child, Fallen King, if you think that unleashing Armageddon in retribution is anything less than a purely selfish act of spite."  A squadron of Armiger blades veered from their paths and pierced the illusory Whisper, drawn by truth-laden taunts.  Meanwhile, the true shadow struck from behind.  A spinning strike caught Gabrandr on the side of his helm, ringing the over-inflated fellow's bell and sending him reeling to the left even as Freyd dodged and tumbled to the right.  As impressive as the mammoth warrior's powers might be, he was still partially bound and addled by debuffs layered like thick and tacky taffy, slowing his actions and reactions alike.  With his secret weapons crumbling, this cunning plan of his seemed sorely close to failure.

"This is his mistake," Freyd called, answering Raidou's question on Gabrandr's behalf.  "His nation in ruin, his people  diseased, enslaved or driven to destitution, their backs broken and made to bear the full weight of their conqueror's tyrannical subjugation.  Look at his answer: an eye for an eye, a fate for a fate.   You're a fool, Gabrandr!  By doing this, you make yourself no better than the one you wish to strike down.  Tyrant or terrorist?  What options have you left us?  Both of you will need to be swept aside."

From a straddled mounting of the now dead cannon, her pony lost its light. That wasn't any fun, it had lost its juice. As she looked to the others, she watched on as Sam disappeared into the waves of blue fire, and for a moment she caught Hidden disappear into that flame. Sticking her butt into the air as she used both hands to fall off the side of that horse. A heavy clatter as she finds the ground, rolling and springing to the flats of her feet. Basically the same sound if someone dropped a bag full of can goods.

Fantastic_chorus_range_rank_6.thumb.png.ed0afd27ed43528cfd449c7cdca5bd50.png"Hmph." Shiina extrudes with a scoff. Her hands lift and a produce a ring of red light that quickly grows out from her feet. The music begins with a somber tone before it quickly erupts into a chain of disjarring and rapid tempo base. At first, it seems chaotic, unmeshed, but eventually it begins to melt and twist. 

The ring becomes rather large, and with it the ground begins to shake. Gravity seems to lose and weaken itself underneath the girl's feet. As the music shifts and twists linking two completely different sounds together, it was as if the girl was acting upon invisible volumes with those outstretched hands. Still lingering performance crystals playing sound began to detonate and join that ring the girl was producing, being mixed and melded into it as their producer. Hair and bits of her clothes painted in red light as that circle bends and twists beneath her feet, fluttering softly as gravity weakened.

Weapons of those within proximity begin to glow, one after another, as she tapped into the wave lengths. "Kick his butt." The girl murmurs softly with a sharp inhale, a grip and golf swing on that last slider. Like dancing on imaginary keys, those hooked fingers stop, and she begins to lift them like conducting an orchestra. "Battlefield Overture: Dramatic Encore!" A metallic slam as that first symbol locks into place, and noticeably the blue fire begins to wane. Tapped and drained to offer strength to the players. Destabilizing and drawing from other sources of energy to add it to her friends.

Shifting her body as she pulls her weapon out, the moment that she does, it glows bright with golden yellow hues. This was the first time she would make an attack and she would not miss. Slight anger began within her as this dude makes his attack against her friends. She would no allow him to deal that much without taking something from her. Eyes veer to that man as she runs with a sliding stop, pivoting her body to straighten her weapon against his flesh. "You don't want us here and yet you have not gave us a valid reason to leave. You are outnumbered here so I suggest you speak with definitive reason or you will die where you stand." A glare toward this man with a leap back ass he watches Eruda join her side. Seeing that damage that she had dealt bleed out in the form of data, she knew she could do better is she tried hard enough. That would come in time though. At the corner of her eyes she finds Freyd and Raidou wanting similar answers. The question was, would this man be straight with them or be stupid enough to keep fighting... The ground rumbles beneath their feet as a musical tone echo's with beauty around them.

Violet took a deep breath, and her eyes closed, the sharp swirl of light vanishing completely with the darkness. Breathe in, breathe out. Don't get stressed, don't get cocky. Her kendo instructor had always demanded complete discipline, even when she wasn't wearing her uniform. Be it on the balance beam, or in a genuine match scrambling for points. Keep calm, don't get cocky...

A blade bit into each player in the other two parties. One by one, each of them seemed to be taking damage from the attacks. one by one their health dropped... and then that blade bit into Jonathan.

Violet exhaled softly, and her eyes suddenly snapped open as she rushed the so-called king, a look of fury on her face. Her sword glowed pink as it dug into his flesh, biting through his armor enough to hurt a decent bit. "I'm sorry, but you're just a shit king. This is so laughable, I almost pity you." Violet murmured, her face dark. "... That being said, I still have to pay you back for beating on my precious sunshine." violet did a dainty little pirouette, spinning for a moment, before casually snap kicking the King in the chin, and flipping away, a bemused smile on her face. The last part was more for style than anything, as it did no damage, and did nothing to him to harm him.

"Damn.."

He watched as the other side of the raid team was dealt a heavily decisive hit.  Nearly every single one of them were caught in the erupting blue flames, and by the way team 3 was looking, they probably wouldn't make it with another.  He had to calm himself a bit before he rushed off someplace he shouldn't.  Zandra and Simmone were there.  They could handle the healing for their teams, he was sure.  Zandra more so would be able to keep their people safe.  However, the attack seemed like it wasn't done, and that they were all next.  Raidou seemed to have stunned the boss, but how well would that work for his team.  He cursed once more, as this would've been the perfect moment to use Barrier, but the skill was not off of cooldown.

"If I can't keep my team from further harm from him.."

He rushed over to the currently sputtering scather in the east, while signaling the armored girl from Firm Anima to move.  Bracing the top of his shield with his other arm, the healer took it upon himself to start ramming and bashing whatever he could off of the scather, with his shield.  What little thorns were on the shield would scrape and tear away at console and the outer carapace.

"I can at least keep this thing from doing anything further.  Come on, I think you were Eruda?  Let's break it!"

The boss struck out, a massive AoE attack striking everyone in parties 3 and 4, before turning his eyes to them.

"Be careful, he may try that AoE attack on us!" Baldur quickly glanced at their HP bars. This would have been a good time to use Parry or Counter, but his HP ticked to full as was the rest of his party. This was the time to be risky and press the attack. He leapt back from the boss a short distance, sheathing the <<Ethereal Tether - Zanshin>> the blade that Raidou had gifted him with. Instead, he moved his hand to the other sword at his side. The blade given to him by Teayre. The <<Muramasa>>. The cursed blade.

He set his feet, power charging through him as he prepared for the system to take over. He waited for just the right moment, when the boss turned away from him to deal with one of the others, and he released the attack.

He shot forward, clearing the distance in a single leap in spite of the great distance, a blur of blue and orange until he drew the blade mid flight, Black fire and a blood red arc of light flew from his form and penetrated the blue fire surrounding the boss and leaving Baldur a dozen paces on the other side of the boss, skidding to a stop. He pivoted with practiced motions, keep the boss in front of him and holding his katana, prepared for whatever came next.

"Our health is good, and Shield's hate lead is strong. Press the attack, but remember to keep an eye on HP and use your group heal crystals." He called out to the rest of his party.
