Chapter 1101
Chapter 1101
With Adrian no longer supporting them, the raid party needed to defeat the Horseman of Death by themselves before the other horsemen arrive. The other horsemen are also going to their location, but they have received news that players are now blocking the other two to reach the northern continent.
"Do you think that they can block the other Horsemen of the Apocalypse?" The viewers of the raid against the Horseman of Death asked the others using the comment section.
"Apparently, they are having a difficult time as the other horsemen are rushing to this location. A lot of players have already been killed with villages, towns, and even kingdoms getting destroyed. I fear Pandemonium will become a hellhole after this." One of the viewers stated.
"There is still hope. Hou Yiwei is said to have blocked the Horseman of Pestilence while Frey is currently blocking the Horseman of Famine. All the other guilds that could not go to the northern continent have rushed to kill at least one horseman. It seems that the Valor, Infernum and Evergreen's alliance has them all tensed up." Another viewer stated as the comments are heating up on who will succeed first.
The raid party has already been reduced to a quarter of their forces and only the elites of the elites remain. The sacrifice of the remaining people is not useless though as they have reduced the Horseman of Death to half its health. They would have reduced it even further if the armor was not present but that is not something they can control.
Even the northern alliance NPCs are reduced to half of what they are. The Three War Mothers are barely keeping up while the Ice Queen Elona is protecting her people with the best she can. This raid is already something that could be said as a failure, but the players did not lose hope.
At the darkest of times, there will always be hope as the balance of the scales need to be equal. With Adrian gone in the equation against the Horseman of Death, the balance of power has been gone as the Horseman of Death is now in an overwhelming advantage. A rift started to form in the sky above the northern continent.
The rift came with overwhelming power that even the Horseman of Death is taking great concentration on. An old figure appeared from the other side of the rift and immediately vanished. The old figure suddenly appeared beside Adrian who was lying on the ground.
Those that were near Adrian all became wary except for his soulbounds that guarded his body. The three soulbounds Sirius, Kanlaon and Saena all know this old man as this is one of the elders of the Daemos. He is none other than the Elder of Space, Ascalor.
"To think that you ended up in such a state. It seems that we should have interfered sooner, but the dimension has been too unstable. We had to repair the Nexus of the Worlds." Ascalor stated.
Adrian could not clearly hear what Ascalor is saying but he can make out some of it. He was saying something like a Nexus, but Adrian is too far confused from all the sounds coming from the surroundings. He was able to give a command to his soulbounds before passing out once again.
"Kill the Horseman of Death!" Adrian stated in a weak tone as he gave the command to his soulbounds that guarded him.
Soulbounds always obeys the commands of their master and will protect their master if he is in danger. The three soulbounds knew that they cannot just leave their master which is why Saena volunteered to look after Adrian as she knew that she will not be helpful in the battle.
[Your soulbound, Saena, wishes for greater power.]
Adrian could not read the notification as he is still currently going from conscious and unconscious. Sirius and Kanlaon, who were protecting their master, suddenly made their auras shine as they no longer need to hold back against such a raid boss. Sirius even summoned Yuki as well as another layer of protection for Adrian.
Both Sirius and Kanlaon no longer needs to restrict their sizes or rather they only did so because of Adrian's commands. Adrian will often restrict the full size of Sirius and Kanlaon as they will expend less stamina, but they no longer need to heed his commands as their rage has filled their hearts.
Sirius grew to a colossal height of fifty feet which is the size of fenrirs in myths. Kanlaon, on the other hand, reverted to his length of two hundred meters and he almost covered the sky with his golden scales that peered through the dark clouds like a dragon overlord.
Sirius emitted a loud howl that made everyone get a boost in strength. Kanlaon emitted a loud roar that gave everyone a powerful boost in their elemental spells.
[The soulbound, Sirius, has used the Alpha's Howl. All participants in the raid against the Horseman of Death will have their Attack Damage increased by 20% as long as the Abyss Fenrir is in the battle.]
[The soulbound, Kanlaon, has emitted the Genesis Dragon's Roar. All damage from elemental spells and abilities will increase by 15% if used against the Horseman of Death.]
When the two soulbounds did so, they are also weakened to such an extent. The two knew that they will not be enough to defeat the Horseman of Death which is why they resorted to making the allies of their master powerful. They knew this because their master is not necessarily powerful just because of himself but also because of them.
The players are overjoyed upon seeing the buff placed on them albeit a bit late. The buffs came raining down on them as all the remaining support players poured everything that they can to make sure that they will kill the Horseman of Death. To the point that some players even sacrificed their lives to make sure that they can increase the odds of them winning against the Horseman of Death.
"I guess this old man needs to move as well. I shall make sure that a being of the past does not bully one of our own." Ascalor stated as the space around him trembled.
The calm and old looking Ascalor started to shed his feeble looking shell as his rage is also ablaze. He may have arrived late, but he has received the message that Adrian left them when he went to fight against the Horseman of Death. Adrian has given them reports that the Horsemen of the Apocalypse seem to summon something when he saw the magic circle. The report arrived late because the elders needed to do something.
It is not just Ascalor that moved to stop the remaining three Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but all elders moved. Each of them picked a horseman that they knew they could defeat as the world has fallen to chaos. The number of lives that have been killed far exceeded what they thought would happen and someone behind the scenes are manipulating it to do so.
Ascalor no longer held back as he reverted to his true form. An Archdemon that controlled space with the flick of his finger. A being that is clearly not on par with just about anyone. With just a movement of Ascalor's hand, space started to contract towards the Horseman of Death.
The Horseman of Death could feel that the space around it is contracting at a fast pace that even it could not easily defend against. The players cheered for this as someone is actually pressuring the Horseman of Death and they only needed to pour down their skill at the raid boss but something unexpected happened.
A flash of golden light suddenly exploded in front of Ascalor, and he is suddenly gone from his location. Everyone is stunned upon seeing their greatest savior vanished easily. The Horseman of Death that was being pressured by Ascalor suddenly released more miasma in the surroundings. The battle that they thought they could easily win suddenly reverted back to the start.
"Do not falter! Everyone attack while the Horseman of Death is weakened!" Siegfried shouted as he held his great axe and charged towards the raid boss.
Siegfried's shout made everyone get back to full concentration on the Horseman of Death but those that were preparing has finally finished. The whole battlefield suddenly became dyed in a red river and the moon suddenly started to cover the sun from the sky. A golden armored maiden that could not move quickly earlier suddenly started to unveil herself as if her armor is a cocoon.
All eyes of the men and women could be seen following the movement of this beautiful maiden clad in shadows. Beside her is a man that is also part wolf that has the ferocity of a great beast. The player that will be called the Bloody Queen has fully descended into the battlefield and will avenge her brother.
