[F3- Event Boss] Asterios- The Bull King

[Baldur 0]

Blades of grass, verdant and slender, gave way to crisp crunches beneath the soles of the man's wooden geta. Baldur's breath rose and fell in his chest with a pace and fervor rivaled only by the constant strike of his sandals against the forest floor. As he traversed the dense woods, he was vaguely aware that its leaves, briers and branches had devolved into little more than fuzzy splotches of brown and green. With his eyes locked stubbornly on the path ahead, it was about all that he could gather. Truth be told, it was about all that he could afford to.

Frankly, it was unprecedented—as far as anyone could remember, reinforcements had never been called during any boss encounter. That this pattern had suddenly been turned upside down for an event boss, no less, already rustled his jimmies. Even more concerning was that the tone of the request had implied urgency; it'd been terse, and he couldn't have helped but to notice that the other addressees had been also been higher-leveled players. Just what in the blazes had happened?

Players like @Ariel - The Crowned Lion and @Macradon, among others, were just a handful of those who'd intended on attending the raid. He had little doubt that players of their caliber could handle whatever challenges the system had presented them with. Unless, of course...

He didn't have the breath to spare for a sigh, but shoved the morbid thought aside all the same. His hands clenched tighter as pushed his legs to move just a bit faster.

Eventually, the wall of brown and green gave way to light. Through the mess of bushes and brambles ahead, Baldur spotted a cluster of figures engaging in combat in an open field—with one figure in particular towering over them all. Instinctively, his hand moved to grasp the handle of <<Muramasa>>.

"I 'spose that big-boned fella over there's prolly Asterios," he mumbled, mostly to himself, but also to his furry companion who'd more or less gone unmentioned up until that point. As the pair hurtled toward the clearing, Baldur aimed a sidelong glance at his canine familiar, finding that his patent observation had been met with a wordless stare. "Ain't you 'spose to be man's best friend? C'mon, work with me here buddy." Gram snorted and almost seemed to give a roll of its eyes before turning its sights back ahead.

"Y'know, I'm thinkin' I'm gonna pretend like I didn't see that," said Baldur, setting his own sights back on the King of the Bulls himself. He narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip around the cursed blade's leather handle. "Gram," Baldur called. "Follow my lead, a'right?"

Without waiting for an answer, Baldur bent his knees slightly before propelling himself directly into an oncoming tree. His sandals met the heavy bark, producing a series of hollow thumps as he scaled the trunk in its entirety. From treetop to treetop, the gaijin samurai bolted across the forest canopy while Gram led the charge from the ground. With the forest's outer limit now comfortably in sight, Baldur launched himself even higher into the sky. His body partially eclipsed the sun for the briefest moment as he hung in the air, gazing down on Asterios.

"Psssh..." With a click, <<Muramasa>> was loosened from its scabbard, but stopped short of being drawn entirely. "Nothin' personal, kid..." As the momentum from his leap reached its apex, Baldur closed his eyes. Being a learned master of the blade, it was only natural that he could dispatch the Bull King even without the use of his sight.

Baldur shifted his grip ever-so-slightly, enveloping the full length of the blade within a fierce red light. He rocketed through the air, heading straight for the point at which he knew the bipedal bull to be standing. Mid-air, he unsheathed his katana and delivered the first of his swings within a single continuous motion. He touched down on the ground shortly thereafter, landing just behind where he knew his target to be; Baldur whipped both his blade and body around to deliver a second cut—this time, with both hands guiding the gleaming steel. A flurry of swings followed, performed with a superhuman speed and precision made possible only through the assistance of Cardinal.

A final overhead chop signaled that the maneuver had come to an end, with San Ge's final motions serving to return <<Muramasa>> to its sheath. The red light faded, and Baldur opened his eyes. There stood the Bull King himself: Asterios, ax in hand, looking larger-than-life.

Baldur blinked. Naturally, the Bull King was a good ten feet or so left of where he'd been expecting. "God dammit."

Domarus watched the events that followed.  The first group didn't deal anything save for less than two hundred damage which was more than disappointing.  He honestly couldn't care if that group was utterly destroyed by Asterios.  He himself wasn't strong enough yet but he knew that some of those players were a decent level.  Once he gained levels nobody would doubt his strength again.  The next group, the so called strongest front liners, also dealt less than two hundred damage.  However it was clear that some of them were recovering from paralysis, and one of the players wisely chose to heal the others rather than attack so he decided he'd let this group slide.  Then it was his groups turn.  The first player's strike, a player whom Domarus did not know and would very much like to learn more about, had dealt over two hundred damage alone.  The next player who seemed to like the samurai style of combat.  This 'samurai' had completely failed to hit Asterios.  Domarus himself could deal around thirty two damage so he felt he should attack as well.  However he noticed that the commander still stood so he rushed at him instead, releasing Screw Dimension and taking him out once and for all.  He leaped back and turned to the other players in the field.
    "If anyone has a spare teleport crystal I could borrow I would greatly appreciate it.  Better safe than sorry."

<<Focused Howl>> Activated

As he entered into the battle are Calrex instinctively knew what he had to do. That was to take as much Hate as he possible could off of his teammates. As Hirru quickly allocated everyone into their squads the bluenette quickly readied <<Focused Howl>>, the aura surrounding him quickly as he was encapsulated by the swirling blue energy. Unleashing it the monstrous roar emanated from the aura as it burst out, the sound wave aimed directly at Asterios.

Now taking the main aggro for the group he readied himself for combat, "That's done now. Next thing to do is try and take this boss down as quickly as we can. It looks like everyone with me are still fairly safe in terms of health, but in case this boss has any AoE attacks I'd best be prepared to switch to item usage quickly."

He knew he had Safeguards in his at ready inventory, so if things went bad he could always make use of them to buy his comrades a moment of respite to recover. The blunette had more than enough health to weather a fair amount of targeted attacks, but that would be useless if the other people in his party were getting slammed as well.

It was nice to see the reinforcements coming to the rescue and it eased the feeling that had been welling up inside Beat for a while. The temptation to run away had certainly reared its ugly head, but his stubborn nature played into his bravery, making it difficult for him to abandon such a situation unless it was  with more frontliners in the fray, hope seemed to be returning to their group. 

"Thank god for reinforcements! Here I was thinking I would have a shot at the last hit!" He said, chuckling as he decided to lift the parties' spirit, "With this, we stand a pretty good chance!" 

His thoughts began to drift to the frontliners who had chosen to abandon the fight, despite their situation, but before he could put too much thought into it, his eyes were drawn to his nearly depleted energy bar. 

"Guess I'm not much use without energy." He said, pulling open his battle ready inventory and pulling out an energy made from dried nuts and fruit. It wasn't his favorite snack, but it served its purpose as his energy bar refilled by a small amount.

They didn't have much time to do or think about anything as the fight began to rage once more.  Most of the people that had left had been transported away by the merchant and his mysterious wagon.  That gave the hunter some reprisal, but the fight to come would show what was really needed of him.  The entire time that he was observing from afar, he had not noticed what was going on with the boss stats wise, but now..

He could not perform any actions without observing the boss, and thinking about a better strategy.  To that end, he stayed with the reinforcements that had gathered, seeing as there would be better situational awareness with them, than with a panicked group.  That left them with one group of two mid levels that would be in trouble if they didn't have them to help them out.  Hopefully, there would be time to get them out, if any.

For not editing his post in the required time, @Hirru recieves 224 pure DMG!

 

Asterios would stand there smugly as he waited for the next group to dare test him. This group contained quite a few of the new arrivals.In fact, all the new arrivals. Many of these players were still quite fresh, so he expected a fight from them. They came powerful, and actually did pretty well, taking about half of his third health bar down. He grumbled and raised his warhammer. He was getting tired of getting poked by these little players. One dared to howl at him fiercely. He stepped forward, stomped his hoof into the ground and spun his warhammer in a circular motion, slamming it into each of the players and sending each of them sprawling into the ground. He stood proudly in front of each of them and he spoke harshly. "Stand down, puny mortals. You all are foolish to dare try and test me. You are all nothing" He told them. He stepped away and faced the next group, snorting in laughter. They offered nothing to the battle. For good measures, he raised a golden horn and blew into it. It made a bellowing sound, and three minotaurs in golden armor and spears joined in the battle.

[Macradon 0]

It seemed like this battle was dragging on a lot. Macradon weren’t prepared for this kind of battle, he hadn’t ingested any vital potions like damage or mitigation. All he had done was to arrive at the fight and help with whatever he was capable of. He would sigh deeply and go in for yet another Galaxy Destroyer. He jumped up and cleaved down, slicing through the big bull. Even though this attack would be doing a lot of damage, Macradon wouldn’t be able to go through that kind of mitigation that Asterios had. He had more mitigation than most bosses, floor bosses that was. It was really weird that he was like that. He would shrug it off and just do the damage and retreat back to his group. There wasn’t anything else he could do, he had no potions with him, he had nothing else to offer at the table, all he had to do was to rely on everyone else to take down the bull.

Itzal watched as the previous group was attacked.  Asterios didn't seem to be dealing too much damage so hopefully they would have just enough players and manpower to take him down.  This boss was way too overpowered.  One hundred and fifty mitigation in addition to two evasion?  AoE attacks that could stun foes?  four thousand health?  This should have been a floor boss, not an event boss.  He watched as the boss summoned more minions to aid him in the fight.  Itzal knew he'd just keep summoning more minions at this point.  There seemed to be no end to them.  So they needed to eliminate all but one of them so he wouldn't summon any more.  Their mitigation he guessed, he would be able to lower.  Itzal charged his sword art and rushed at them, releasing Shadow Explosion on the guards and dealing thirty three damage to them.  It was hardly anything, but at least it was more than one point of damage....  Dang he needed to get his dps skills up.

Well before he had blinked, the boss had shown mercy towards all the players... and many many frontliners had arrived. After he had exchanged to them, the battle had begun again. He had sighed, this was kind of unfortunate that it had to come to this when it comes to boss battles especially since they never asked for help to begin with and he looked back to the members of the old group 2 or 3 and their health bars getting better, he shook his head... they should have been more prepared, they should have known that AoE stun's were going to be a thing. Especially the big bad Ariel in which she has lost her own mind. He looked back at Asterios and with a blink of an eye he had moved forward to attack the boss, however missing against it... no biggie though, everyone misses every now and then.

At first, Shield had been relieved that another more experienced player had stepped in to handle the bulk of the tanking. However, since stepping in, Mack had been laid low, both paralyzed and beaten down nearly all the way through the yellow portion of his health bar. Gritting his teeth, Shield gripped the handle of his axe hard, swearing under his breath before kicking off from the ground and jumping between Mack and Asterios. He did not take the time to <Howl> to steal hate, but he did focus the effect of his cape, increasing the enmity between himself and the minotaur. Summoning out one of the basic health potions from his inventory, he chugged it to prepare himself for whatever was about to come, smashing its empty flask on the ground. It shattered into blue, glowing shards, the sound echoing across the battlefield.

[+40 HP]

"@Mack" Shield growled, keeping his eyes forward, "get up and get yourself taken care of. @Heathcliff, for god's sake, man, see to your vice commander! We've already lost one player today, and if I have anything to say about it, we won't lose another!"

His voice and tone were harsh. He was not sure what had led to the vice commander's downfall, but he would not stand idly by and let a downfall become a death. His health had ticked up a minute amount from the effects of the potion, but such an item was never meant to make a difference in fights like these. He hoped that it somehow might be.

OOC: Paralyzed.

As the Vice Commander of the Knights of the Blood Oath was tossed through the air the towering red-headed man managed to keep his fingers wrapped around the haft of Invictus. Slamming roughly to the ground Mack rolled over several times and kicked up a good bit of digital dust before rolling to a stop on and laying in the grass on the flat of his back, storm grey eyes turned towards the crystal blue sky of the heavens with his signature bearded axe clasped in his hands across his broad chest. Grumbling, the bearded man tried to sit up to push to his feet to launch an assault on the offending Minotaur, but he quickly discovered that his arms and legs were strangely unwilling to answer his beck and call. Groaning, Mack narrowed his eyes and peered at his player status window to see that he had been hit with both a bleeding and a paralyzing attack. He would be unable to move until the paralysis wore off. "Can't do anything until the paralysis wears off," Mack called as Shield interposed himself between Asterios and the red-head.

Asterios mused as he returned to the next group. The one that tried to protect other from damage was now so battered that he couldn't stand. He mused over this a second before turning upon the new target that stood in between he and the group. He snorted and charged forward with his  warhammer, taking a few swings at the man. He made several blows, but all of them glanced off the man's shield to now effect. In rage, Asterios backed away and pointed at the man. "Men. Take care of this man. I have other things to attend to" He stormed away from the group and too the next group which had recovered since he had last attacked. He glanced back over at his guard, and found they had no effect on the man either. What had caused the man to be as skill with evading with a shield he did not know. He waited for the next group to make their move gainst hi.  He was bring them back to their knees no doubt.

I felt so relieved that my field medic skill had activated. As far as I remember, this was the first time Ive used it when it really was critical need for it. I had healed players before, but not when it have been this much needed. Thou our party was still pretty low on health. Except for our tank and, I glanced at the newly arrived man, him. No matter what happened, he wouldn’t get any help from my side. But someone who was going to get my help, I checked the party members health. And there seemed to be one with only half health. She would survive while longer. But I couldn’t lose her so better safe and sorry. I walked over to Ariel and laid my hands on her. I closed my eyes to fill up her health bar. A couple of seconds later I opened my eyes. But her health bar was still as reduced as before. ‘’What! Why cant I heal you?’’ I said more to myself then anyone else or an actual question.

Hikoru stood, his consious regained and being more self aware, saw that Asterios had started to go away from the battlefield. He knew that he could attack him again, but his attack would be useless against him. He just gave a sigh and stood, and looked at one of the Guard's nearby. He knew he wasn't buffed compared to the other players, but he knew he could still deal some good damage. He charged forward and attacked the first one in the line of them, bringing his health down a small bit and seeing that they had really done a good job in doing so. He gave a small sigh and backed away slowly, watching his enemies at work. He wished his damage was higher, but he would work with what he had for now, and hopefully someone had an extra damage potion they could hand to him to use.

[Morgenstern 1]

The blond and stood and watched the battle rage on. It would appear that they had begun to drain a bit more damage on the boss. That was assuring. He had some crystals in his inventory, but nobody appeared to be on the verge of death. Asterios had called forth more minions to his aid and some of the players even began to attack them. He had so much hate on Asterios however, it was crazy. He had never received so much hate before. His attacks were meaningless, meaning that he absolutely nothing to do but tank for the duration of the fight. He surveyed everyon'es health bars and noticed one player's was getting low. He surged forward and pulled out his teleport crystal and handed it to him. "Take this and get out of here!" He then returned his attention to ASterios. Asterios had quite the defense in his opinion. Only those who were nothing but pure damage could even pierce his thick armor. He truly had taken upon the god status, taking control of the minotaurs.

Watching as the bull charged at another one, the blonde let out a sigh of relief as her group finally got a breather. She turned and faced Zandra entirely, clasping her hands in her own as she spoke with a smile. "I appreciate your help Z and don't worry, if my health drops suddenly like that again I have this bad boy." She reached into one of her interior pockets where she stored her battle ready items and held up a teleport crystal between her pointer and and index fingers. 

Reinforcements seemed to arrive one by one, making up more than enough for the ones that fled. "Took you guys long enough!" she shouted at @Calrex and @Baldur, she pointed her tall banner's spearhead towards the towering self proclaimed bull god. "Don't need me to tell you what we need to do with this."

At that point their team's tank captured the attention of the mobs, staying true to its calling. She looked down and let out a small laugh: "But even if I say that, I can't very well flee on my own and leave things unfinished." Looking towards the left corner of her sight, she saw that she had about half HP left.. even less as it ticked red and got reduced by a slither. "Damn bleeding..." she cursed under her breath and  let go of Zandra's hands. She eyed the thing that she allowed to exist for too long, more specifically at its own health bar. Letting out a low grunt, she prepared to attack it once again. Making a quick run she once again released her strongest sword art and barely managed to damage hit, the obsidian banner doing its pre-determined dance as it stabbed away from the mob's health bars; one stab at a time.

Seems that near death experience didn't disheartened the members from the commander's team. Though it seemed to make then wiser, by a bit. He would see the ninja boy wannabe going after targets that are more manageable for him. He also spotted a small, what he assumed to be teleport crystal, in the blonde dps' hand before she resumed her attack. The remaining of the team doing what they were assigned to, namely draw aggro and heal whoever was in need; which was exactly what the pair did. 

It was at this time that he noticed the reinforcements that arrived and quickly getting a grasp of the situation, assigning themselves inside the different teams. "This is starting to look more like a floor raid." muttered the red and white clad knight, a glimpse of a smile creeping on his expression. He raised his shield to hide his satisfaction with the situation and unsheathed his weapon from the unique sheath. He was preparing to attack alongside the group when he noticed that one of the members of his guild had been badly injured by the bull. Mentally clicking his tongue, the commander pointed the slender one handed sword towards @Mack and shouted a stoic expression, his usual commanding tone booming across the battlefield:

"Stand back and recover! If anyone can help heal him quicker, it would be greatly appreciated." And with that, he reached towards one of his pouches and produced a healing crystal that he used on his vice-commander. Then he went and attacked the bull head on with a sword art that is simple, yet powerful to rival a dps.

Letting out a displeased expression towards his subordinate's attacks, the bull reached again for the silver whistle around his neck and blew hard as he could. In mere moments another three of his trusty royal guards answered his summon and eyed the players, understanding the situation from on the spot. They had one purpose, to defeat all that stood in front of their god. Meanwhile Asterios turned towards the last group that launched a assault against him. They managed to hit him, he could at least give them that and after releasing the whistle, he slowly clapped towards the two damage dealers: "Very good, I haven't had a tickle like that since I was a young bull. Allow me to repay you in kind!" He reached for his weapon and after twirling it a few times above his head at high velocity, he slammed it against the ground. A shockwave rippled with his as the center and reached all the group one players.

Domarus watched as the boss summoned forth another three warriors to back it up, replacing the commander seemingly easily.  He had also received a rather large sum of damage from the boss and he watched as Asterios summoned up another three warriors.  The fact that this already over powered boss was able to summon not three, but six minions to fight along side him was ridiculous.  This boss was far too powerful than it should have been.  Regardless of this however one point remained:  He could not risk staying here any longer.  In order for his plans to be realized, he would need to be alive.  And with the combination of Asterios' attacks, as well as the attacks of his minions, he was certain he would die within a successful hit.  Then he heard a player call out to him and saw the crystal flying through the air.  He caught it and turned to his group.
     "I'm going to follow the front liner's order's.  I'm in no position to keep going as I'm certain to die within another hit.  Seeing as how we have no healer or strong enough healing crystals, I'll remove myself from the equation.  I wish you all luck."  With that Domarus activated the crystal and vanished from the fight.  He reappeared in the town of that floor, unequipping his armor and turning to the teleport pad.

Domarus has left the thread.  Teleport crystal consumed.

As the battle continued to rage on Calrex gave a simple nod to Domarus as the player took his leave. The raid was definitely going to be a grueling one, and a main goal was to minimize the losses. Taking players out of the fight that didn't need to be there would be a safe choice. At the same time they also needed to focus on eliminating Asterios as quickly as possible.

Clenching his right hand into a fist the bluenette gave a calming breath, focusing on his target. He already had the highest Hate in his group, so he could switch to offense immediately. Rushing forward his punch glowed with the blue light of <<All Might>> as he channeled all his strength behind the fist.

Unfortunately just as he had seen Baldur do previously, the giant minotaur moved a couple of feet away with a shuffle of its hoof, causing his attack to miss, "That's not a good sign."

Cursing under his breath for a moment the Ultramarine Knight stepped back and waited for his next opportunity to act.
