Story Context
In Story A, after travelling through the portal in the World of Music, the main character and Karin find themselves in the human world. As everyone is trying to locate the source of the cracks in space, they're stopped by a dragon-like NOISZ user named Seiryu. Arietta offers to explain what Beyond is keeping secret from them if they defeat Seiryu.
In Story B, the main character arrives at the beach, where Wolf-Girl, Forza, and Beyond are trying to fend off three corrupted NOISZ users. The dragon-like girl charges at the main character.
In Story C, after returning to the human world, the main character finds Arietta. They demand answers, and Arietta asks that they defeat Seiryu first.
This boss is also encountered on a diverted Story C play through (unofficially known as "Long A"). After deciding to go through the portal to help their friends in the human world, the main character and Karin end up back in the city. Pale blue cracks in space are all over the place. Amidst the chaos, the main character encounters Arietta. They demand answers, and Arietta asks that they defeat Seiryu first.
Gimmicks
This song introduces Deadline Zones, which are circular areas on the field with a counter that decreases every beat. If you are not inside of the circle when the timer reaches zero, you take damage. If you are within the Deadline Zone when the timer reaches zero, the boss takes damage.
Strategies
The Slayer Module cancels out Inversion. If you find yourself getting hit out of Overflow frequently, that module is recommended (but be aware that it comes with a damage penalty).
The invisible bullets in V2 are not strongly targeted. Staying still and shielding should keep you safe. The red bullets have a slight random offset.
Reaching the AA-Rank on this song can be challenging. Crash Style is recommended for AA-Rank. Try to deal most of the required damage in V1, and make sure to carefully avoid obstacles to make that happen.
Chart Comparison
Flavor Text
Beyond: Something's different... Time to get serious here! Move into the Deadline Zones before the timer expires!
Arietta: It's smart to try and get things done early. You don't know what that has to do with anything? I've no interest in speaking to amateurs.
Stornel: My kind are especially dangerous... Consider building for survival, or increase your speed to reach zones.
Trivia
- While not listed in the song's entry on the credits, the current art of Seiryu shown in Kill The Deadline and Fallen Angel is done by fruitsrabbit.
