Haru watched the scenery shift and unfurl as he maintains his cover behind the deer. It was wise of him to stay there, as he would have been completely impaled by a stray weapon thrown by 'Astor'. Mind you, there's no way that he actually believed him nor 'D'Vangelline' to be the same people as the shining king and queen that had led them into the fray. No, their deaths or corruptions would had been far more noticeable than suddenly appearing as twisted mockeries of themselves. Haru had seen what had happened to the rather melodramatic redhead boy, after all.

Haru spends the time refocusing himself as all of this crazy change takes place within the room. Flesh to stone, light to dark... Bah, not his problem. He should probably be focusing himself on supporting others though. Looking around him it seems that the familiar faces he spies are not very adept at healing others. Right, he should rectify that in a moment...

Rias turned her head towards a player that called out to her (@Rivers Asteire) ...well maybe he called out to someone else but she did meet his gaze for a second to realise that he was also referring to her. His AoE reached her body and manage to do a little bit of healing, what mattered mostly to her other than the heal was that someone was willing to respond and help her state making her smile and nod at the healer. "Thank you~!" She would show a thumbs up and before being able to do anything else another player (@Quinn) extended his hand towards Rias. She would look at him a bit confused not knowing what he was trying to say or do, her eyes blinked a few times and she smiled awkwardly. "E-eh...?"

Her words cut off the moment the same feeling from a few seconds ago pierced her body, the weakness, making her go back to the same process of falling on the ground while holding onto her bow. What was he even doing?! She freaked out thinking that there was another predator with them...the pain however slowly started to fade and her arm started healing returning to it's previous state. Was he helping? His words however made her realise that he healed her, some weird kind of magic was that but he did...despite preferring a different method she was glad her HP was restored. "I'll...try...Thank you as well~" she answered back watching him for a bit while she still kneeled on the ground.
Once regaining back her health she sighed softly and twitched her brows ready for another fight! Well...this current fight but a new attack~

Well, that... certainly felt weird. This whole teleportation magic thing after accepting some UI prompt and all! World Boss sounded ominous. And now she was... in a weird crystal palace place with a bunch of other people. All... players? Maybe. A lot of em. And a lot of dead. But...

World Boss sounded exciting. World Boss sounded gigantic. World Boss sounded epic. World Boss sounded— "Owh, owh, owh!" Getting pierced by flaming swords of fire from the ceiled sky! The white-hair still would need to get used to the pain. Fair enough her pain tolerance had already increased a lot since she started playing but... she shivered a the mere thought of what would it feel like to experience death. Was that even possible? Wouldn't it leave some sort of lasting traumatic damage in the brain? Well... anyway, World Boss!

The big, threatening, menacing monstrosity that took half an army to—"Huh?" Huh? Two... people? And some kid-thingy. People were bashing them. "Don't tell me..." Was that really it? They looked kinda edgy, too. Except for the kiddo. The kiddo looked more like it had done a lot of drugs. Light-bulb and all. It even sparkled! This was kinda anti-climatic, at least for her who didn't recognize these people at all. Except... well, actually, hitting children and getting away for free seemed rather fun. And this guy looked like a boyfriend of her past. The perfect target for stress relief for sure.

For now, however, Charlotte would focus on the third person of the trio. This girl had a smug aura around her that pissed Charlotte kinda off. Though if they were the, well, World Boss, they wouldn't pay much attention to her anyway. But as long as she had fun, what did it matter?

"HEY! Edge-girl! I don't know what cartoon you're coming from, but looks like it'll get... axe'd!" Ohmygodthisjokepleasekillme. The mere fact Charlotte resorted to some sentence like that stood proof to how much she didn't like D'Va's presence. Hopefully, nobody heard her. Just pretend to be a guillotine and do guillotine things, yeah.

"Well, that should be enough." Haru is ready to dispense some healing! He actually didn't know any better way to phrase it himself. Taking a paper charm from his pocket, he focuses on the person who's caught his eye while he was meditating. Miss Shard appeared to be in some pretty bad straits. Lacking the proper time and energy to map her soul himself to revert her body to what it should be, Haru settles for channeling his own life force into the charm and letting it fly with rather impressive accuracy into the woman's side where it stuck and let loose rapid regeneration.

He made sure to pay close attention to her to make sure that she recovered properly- not because he was actually that interested, but moreso because that replica of Astor was shining an obnoxious light out of his body and it frankly was a pain to look at. Haru did his best to ignore the obnoxious golden laughter from the center of the room.

The unforeseen death of ally, a change in the arena, and the subsequent deaths of many nameless, unknown adventurers, none of whom mattered. All hallmarks to a shift in the battle, and Alkaid could only care about those who were actually doing the numbers in on this shitty-anime-adaptation-evoking Eldritch-Abomination.

Which meant enduring being hit with friggin' flaming weapons and trying to play it smart, rather than mindlessly attacking. Or worse, giving into her bleeding heart and reviving a poor boy only to not be able to heal him, or anyone else, once the boss continued attacking and she found herself out of energy.

That, or her thoughts were being clouded as she took mouthful after mouthful of her sweet, fizzy drink.

Which may have been why she decided to join in on throwing jeers at the king, "Anyone nearby who wants a heal, I want to hear more shouts for down with these Hot Topic rejects! No one cares about a fake king and a goth bitch who forgot to even dye her hair!"

Rivers turned and watched as someone near him taunted the male Human who towered above. Was that...was that wise? Yes of course! If she was taunting someone that powerful, she must be even more powerful! This fight would be trivial with someone so powerful on their side. Rivers could throw abandon to the wind and trust this person to finish off the male. So...he needed to focus his efforts on the female on the ground in front of him. If they could take her out...the battle would be half won. He had to do something.

Before he decided on what to do, he noticed that one of the women he'd healed thanked him and gave a thumbs up. Rivers felt warmth rush to his face. A girl had thanked him...oh gosh! Rivers felt his imagination getting ahead of himself before he smacked his face hard with both hands. Now was not the time for romantic daydreams! All of his fellow players were counting on him! He would acknowledge her thanks and then continue to do his part. After all, the best way to get her attention was to defeat this boss and survive.

"It's nothing!" he called in response. That was aloof and laid-back enough to seem cool. Without another words or thought, he darted towards the female boss on the floor. As he neared, the air got thicker. This...this was a battle zone. A real one. Forget the fact that this was a video game. Everyone here was fighting for their digital lives. Every player here shared the same goal. The destruction of these two!

Rivers aimed an attack at the woman. It connected but didn't seem to even phase her. Of course, he was a low-level character and couldn't just slay the boss...but this dismissive attitude he kept getting was really hurting his "hero" aesthetic. Heroes were supposed to show up and slay evil with a smile on their face. But, it being hard to be a hero was exactly what made a hero. Rivers had a long way to go.

There was no answer from Astor, the Player. Even when she tried to call him, she got no answer. She worried, she worried even as she called herself foolish. After all, this was but a game. Very realistic virtual game with Non-Playable characters as real as any humans, but a game none the less.

And yet, she worried. It was illogical, but her heart could not be calmed by the cold logic. The heart that she thought was incapable of feeling something like that, was in fact feeling this worry.

After a short while she managed to tear her gaze away from him, glancing around at the numbers and dissonance stacks of everyone. She found two likely targets, but in the end decided to check the channels of communication first. After all, someone else might have noticed something that she had not.

No one knew what was going on. Her gaze narrowed reading certain comment of one of the Players that was in her vicinity. “…” Silently (and pettily, she was self aware enough to acknowledge that), she decided to not waste her Dispel on @Darko Ljubicic . With a target chosen, she focused on the man she had healed not so long ago.

“Whesal elsï. Wehsi sal.” White light, quite literally bloomed between her hands in shape of a dandelion flower. She raised the flower which turned into round ball of fluff. Locking on her target, the felis took a deep breath and then released it. The blowball flew towards the target and sank into it, five blobs of something dark flushed away.

And again, Ilusa’s gaze returned to Astor. He seemed to react to people now.

It was as if he sensed her gaze, his expression shifted into more neutral his eyes were hidden behind the eyes and yet-

The smile stretched on his lips was a caricature, it looked cruel and sharp and she had a bad feeling.

“!!” A wordless gasp escaped her, it felt like a physical blow, even though those were but mere words.

“A-Astor?” Her voice, it shook. Her ears flattened and her tail stilled. The player behind the avatar felt disgust with herself for reacting, but the clawing pain felt very real and no matter how she cursed herself it was not changing. Her hand grasped her tunic around her chest area.

It. Hurt.

Lack of reply from the actual Player Astor only made it worse. “Stupid. Focus.” She said to herself trying to get her head in the game and wondering if there was a way of.. Turning him back, if it really was him.

Well, Charlotte's attacks didn't seem to do all that much. Sure, her Pink Lady was gigantuous but, from a stat-perspective, it was more like she was wielding a cardboard weapon against some dinosaurs. Yes, the three were just human-size, but World-Boss-level nonetheless - whatever that might mean.

About to switch her targets to the drug-addicted kid instead, because bullying things that were smaller than her were bound to be easier, it was then that the edge-queen spoke up! In fact, she actually acknowledged her! Talked to her. Ohgodpleasewhycharlottewasjustaweakpleb.

But... but... but... maybe this World Boss liked bullying weaker things just as much as Charlotte did?! Well, okay, understandable. Fair enough. If only she hadn't used such a terrible line thou. NONETHELESS, Charlotte lifted Pink Lady once more. Shit-talking her would have been so easy. Instead, it had to be sarcasm. A lot of refined sarcasm.

"Oh my deepest apologies, M'lady Black." Charlotte put on a weird tone of Noble Sarcasm. Mockery, in a hopefully gallant way? "My parents were mere wood-cutters. This axe, my only heirloom. But if it gratifies m'lady I shall treat m'lady with utmost veneration, befitting a noble of such high status. For as short as our time together may be." That's exactly why Charlotte kept chopping away on her, right? Did they have permanent i-frames or something?! Just mere love-taps. There was still, however, the thing about at least that one hole, however!

"As for the hole, deserving for my insolence, may I make the humble request and suggest the earlobe?" She didn't really plan on getting an earring, but whatever. Actually, Lady Edge looked kinda like a sadist, did she not? Could as well add, with a wink. "It is also a very sensitive place!" Wait... did that just make two holes?

Rudiford was stunned as Astor, his employer, made his debut with the Queen of Falderen as their enemies. Words could not describe the shock that overtook his body as he gazed up at the detestable Astor who was surprisingly like himself (except more evil). Turning toward @Ilusa Nakhalee, he gave her a nudge out of concern.

"Hey, snap out of it, we're going to have to bring him down, you realize that, right?" Rudi spoke in a matter-of-factly tone. Regardless of whatever shit that was spewing out of Astor's mouth, Rudiford wasn't going to jeopardize the group to go out of his way to save him.

Looking back at the rest of their ragtag group, one of whom he kind of knew, @Lucia Mierz and other people whom he wasn't as familiar with, namely @Celestine and @Charlotte Breuil, but on a second thought, he decided to ignore them as the way they look and spoke freaked him out.

The rest of the group seemed fine, however. He spoke to @Ashnor Ironth, @Lucia Mierz, @Portia Ahrens, @Libitina Cerin, @Darko Ljubicic, and @Ilusa Nakhalee, but not the weirdos.

"Alright, we should focus on bringing her defenders down so we can slap the king. Why don't we focus on disruption? I'll go first."

Afterward, the orange-haired man charged into the enemy's line with his axe ready to cleave some sparkly ladies.

Lucia couldn't help an internal groan when she saw Astor and the Princess woman. While Lucia wouldn't mind heartlessly swallowing the princess and letting her die, Astor was her friend. In some respects, the man was even a partner she worked with in the game to create Astorea. Rubbing her temples briefly she couldn't help raising her voice. "Ugh you-- Why even come if you're just gonna get swallowed? Morgana! I'll give you another shot, just be careful. Try to keep them off of me." She spoke, warning the Wraith who's blood lust was radiating like heat from the sun. The disturbed spector turned her head towards Lucia, at first bothered before glancing back towards it's prey in thought.

Finally, the wraith's clawing fingers stopped scratching at it's face mask, it's head that was bandaged in bloody wraps finally snapped up right. "Mm, My lady likes giving me a challenge! I see I see~ Very well! Come my preys! I am the lady's hound, loosed from my leash you are all preys! DIE!" She roared her classical battle cry once more, loosing blades from her sleeves letting them fly towards the defender with the large shield and spear. The blades fell like a torrent of rain and hail as she swung her sleeves over and over. The blades though were guided carefully despite the madness in the wraith's actions and personality. Her goal to ward threats away from Lucia even at the expense of itself. Her attacks generated an overwhelming murderous intent, the kind that would make even doom soldiers think twice or hesitate.

With Morganna buying her some time, she glanced around, first to @Iván Carl who seemed to be a part of a clique by now. "What can we do to fix this? If Astor gets taken out I'm going to have to find a new partner for this whole territory thing." She complained, though her word choice was overly harsh, Lucia did protect her people. She directed the question at him but hoped someone would be able to provide her with an answer @Raid Master

Now was not the time to give up. Ashnor could tell from the way the circling maidens faded in and out of existence, that their time was almost up. Looking around, he could see his fellow world boss raiders taking on the queen's mimics. "Come on guys, we can finish these girls, just a bit more and then the others can go for the King!"

As Ashnor prepared to attack, he felt a rush of energy. Turning towards the sound of chanting, he nodded his head in appreciation at @Ilusa Nakhalee before reading himself again. Jumping back up towards one of the maidens, Ashnor swings his hammer into her, dealing much more damage than before and nearly causing the whole line to fade out.

Mom? Iván was sort of surprised when he came across his mother mentor in the thick of battle, although because this whole thing was a massive effort against a possible world-ending event, he should’ve realized @Alphabet Chocolate would be around. @Portia Ahrens was around…somewhere. The guys from the curry house were around. Witch Ops was most certainly around. Some of the folks from the Aristocracy, even Lucia who was being awesome with her better understanding of Summoning Magic, was around.

Everyone was around, maybe for the loot, maybe because they were one of the people currently in this world and they couldn’t log out. It didn’t matter what their motivations were. Pride, Aristocrat, Monster Hunter, Witch Ops, whatever. They were all here. They were all fighting. They weren’t just going to lie down and let Titanius take over. They were going to make him work for it. “Thanks for the save, Alpha,” he deadpanned, smiling from behind his stinky mask. “I owe you one.” He owed her a billion.

He looked around him, them, and saw his friends, acquaintances, people he’d come across at least once in his adventures. He nodded at each of them, acknowledging their presence and possibly their sacrifices. It didn’t matter if they saw it or not. With the sole exception of the Curry House, everything he’s ever done was to make himself less noticeable. His stink had made it hard, sure, but it was never part of his plan. None of them were ever part of his plan. He closed his eyes and grinned, grateful for the detours, but now he needed to stick to the plan. Finally.

“Time to tuck this child in,” Iván opened his eyes, keeping his grin. He turned to his Snow-Quilled Guardian, a smaller version of the Spire’s that was actually his summoned magical familiar, and nodded. It was probably just his imagination, or a hallucination, but he swore he saw the familiar nod back at him. Iván shook his head in an attempt to regain his composure and refocus himself. Now was not the time to get distracted by his thoughts. As the Guardian did its thing, launching thousands of quills at the shield, so did its master who, through his illusion magic, had taken on the form of the original Snow-Quilled Guardian, launching his own thousand quills at the same target.

Darko panted as he continued the assault of the black chains on the children guarding that fallen King of Astorea. He knew that his energy was starting to drain from his body, but he would need to see everything through. He wanted to see this creature fall right in front of his eye, so that he would have a greater liberty studying it. Its abilities in draining the energy of everything surrounding it could increase his own abilities in the same department, and could help in making him stronger for the upcoming events.

Mustering again his concentration as his right eye glowed purple again, the black chains glowed purple as they stabbed at the children that was guarding the fallen king, generating a rot so great that the glowing children could be seen losing their light and was replaced with pitch black darkness as they vanished with every hit of his chains.

Seeing that all the defenses against the king had been shattered, Darko then said, "All right, King of Astorea, looks like it would be the end of your inglorious reign. But never to worry, you will go down in history. But as a tyrant that kills his own soldiers and left his citizens for dead. Conniving with this monster named Titanius is a mistake.

'Oooh, like at me, hehe, I have black fire because I wish people would notice me like they do the perfectly awesome, Grand Itch Majolica!'

Hehehe, no dork would have golden elf hair and black flames! Hehehe, he's going to be super mad now! Hehe, good! I want him to be really angry when I rub his nose in dirt! Hehehe!

At this point, it had become increasingly clear that while the Grand Witch had specialized in damage dealing masteries, her future lay in tanking. After all, if Blank was any indication, there was no better user of 'taunt' in the whole of Terrasphere.

Suddenly, thanks to the combined efforts of The Witch Ops and the other players, Astor's shield went down.

"Hehehe, now what are you going to do! There's no more hiding behind your girlfriend! Hehehe, now it's Majolica's turn! Hehehe, face the weathering power of Grand Witch Majolica's consistent magical barrage! Hehehehe, I'm taking your castle when this is all over! Hehehehe, my cottage will fit nicely in the courtyard! Hehehehe!"

Majolica readied herself and like before, loosed another blast of magical energy.
