[color=00aeef][h1][center]Pied Piper(Caster)[/center][/h1][/color] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/AId1P8D.jpg[/img][/center] [h3][center]Academy[/center][/h3] [u]The Ratcatcher's playground.[/u] The grudge of the cripple, The grudge of the blind, The grudge of the deaf, These were the poor souls of the lost children who were the last to pick up the allure of the rat catcher, yet forever cursed and shackled to serve the Rat king for all eternity. They are special in a way that Piper preserved them in an occasion such as this. Each grudge has a special trait to compensate for their disabilities. Who would have thought that these monstrous beings would be fighting alongside humanity rather than the way they designed to spread sickness and the plague amongst mankind. The level of Irony can't even describe their existence right now. And yet here they are, summoned as Piper's guardians. These 3 children are the main core to Piper's monstrous creation yet to unleash in humanity's last stand. Three unique grudges stuff inside his familiar rats becoming the embodiment of the great plague itself. The harbingers of pestilence as Piper would describe them. With the help of Ludwig's steroid juice and the rat kings sick ingenuity, these three kaiju like rats manifest out of thin air, The academy was overshadowed by these three rat figures takes shape. The enemy has been spotted approaching his base, should Piper fight or flee? If Caster flees now, he'll lose the advantage of the higher ground and god knows what unspeakable horrors this miniature beast would do if he let them seize this station. Time to play a game of chance. [i]Come forth and take refuge, my children... God has abandoned you.. with my music, I shall guide you to salvation.. into the world that no one knows...[/i] [color=00aeef]"False Paradise"[/color] A noxious fog instantly creeps in area with every step the hostile Lyaeus makes. The fog gets denser. [color=00aeef]"I dunno if I should be scared or downright offended, sending only four to challenge me? I know this isn't Troy or that Mystical forest of that caliber, But this is the place where all hope dies, and the 130 grudges reside, screaming vengeance in one voice, let me.. no us show you why you should never mess with the Piper!"[/color] Piper proclaimed standing on top of the school building, with three kaiju size rats, surrounding him on each side as his line of defense. A brazen bravado from Piper despite not knowing the enemy. Right now, The mystical Bard is playing a dangerous game of chess with his pieces in place.. Will the king of this castle triumph and get rid of these pawns? or will these hostile Lyaeus victimized and overthrow the King of Rats? We shall see.. [center][b]Responding to the 4 Lyaeus: [/b][/center] Not knowing the enemy's skill, Piper has to rely on guerrilla tactics. His barrier type noble phantasm was set for the kill below the school grounds, A magical thick fog engulfs around the field before they even breach the main building. The rabid eyes of Piper's hivemind rats glow with lust on each corner of the foggy terrain, scurrying all lightfooted and mobilize under the cover of their master's hazy nest, making a pincer move on their unexpected prey. His plan: break their formation before they even reach the gates and pick them off one by one like in a horror pic. Isolation, Disarray and Confusion. And if lucky, capture one them for interrogation, that is if Piper made it that far and [b]you know not die.[/b] This place is much bigger inside than it looks, Piper's lair is built like an endless maze filled with the fumes of death and decay of the black plague looms everywhere, Debuffing them if it meets a certain condition. A single breath you intake in here could be your last. Do these guy even breath? In any case, The hymn of a flute echoes from out of nowhere, the Charisma of the RatKing falls on every ear on each rat, boosting their morale to take on foes bigger than them, this was their stand... And well if a foreign being hears his allure, A mental interference will occur, they'll go loco and abandoned their grasp to sanity. As soon as the Piper starts playing, the terrain responded and takes shape, dividing most of them in different location of his maze-like noble phantasm, given that It's impossible to see with all of these fumes. [color=00aeef]"Sick em'"[/color] a command was heard. A tentacle like rat-tail sprouts beneath their feets and instantly binds one of them, pinning it to the ground by force.. one of which is drag into the shadows where his horde of steroid out rats should feast on its mana. All of the sudden, The sound of multiple mortars cannons booms thunderously into the sky, targeting the pinned down enemies, adding confusion to the already poisonous environment beneath the academy. The grudges release from Piper's cannons run wild on one of them, circling around one of the lyaeus in a vacuum of spirits, enfeebling their capabilities and infect them with sickening alignments that could even spell death. Piper stands tall and looks down as he snipes them from the top of the building, signaling a halt gesture as soon as the smoke clears, not committing all of his resources to an enemy he doesn't know, as if he's testing the waters on what kind of these things are. Well, if manages to kill one of them in his barrage of grudges, He will have some info on what is or not effective against these beast. [@Paradox Witch][@Seirei No Hai]
