Chapter 1131
Adrian's diversion of attacks could be said as the ultimate support when it comes to intense fights such as this. There is a catch for this to happen though as he needs to receive the damage of the attacks as well. If he was not in his Aetheros Form, then he would have no chance of always doing this.
The Horseman of Famine could be seen progressively getting weaker and weaker. The team is slowly whitling down the health that she has left. They thought it would be smooth sailing from this point on, but the Dragon of Revelation will not sit idly by and let one of its anchors in the real world to vanish.
The Dragon of Revelation immediately took out seven heads once more and released beams of light instead of its usual projectiles from its mouths. The seven heads all released the beams towards Adrian's direction as the Dragon of Revelation wants to kill or incapacitate Adrian.
Adrian felt that something is off about the beams, but he still blocked them using his mirrors. This time, Adrian did not try to divert it as he could feel something ominous about the beams coming out from the Dragon of Revelation's mouth. Seven mirrors reinforced by Crystallize blocked the beams coming from the Dragon of Revelation.
The mirrors are greatly increased in defense which is why the seven did not break easily. There is a sort of rust like substance corroding the mirrors though and Adrian could see his health suddenly decreasing. The energy that is being blocked by the mirrors seems to be bypassing or affecting Adrian's connection with the mirrors.
"Master, a harmful substance that is more potent than the miasma that the Horseman of Death released in your body is attempting to invade your mana channels. I have blocked it, but you are advised to think of a countermeasure immediately." The Cube of Paradox stated as it reported Adrian's body constitution.
"Can we not convert it to Nether Energy?" Adrian asked.
"Negative. The energy that is trying to corrode your body has traces of divinity in it which is why you are unable to touch it." The Cube of Paradox stated as it gave Adrian a background on why the energy cannot be transformed.
The Dragon of Revelation is using his own corrupted divine energy to influence Adrian's mana. Since the mirrors are connected to his mana channels as he needs mana to create them, the Dragon of Revelation wanted to make use of this to kill Adrian from the inside. IF this mana is not expunged then Adrian will explode from the inside.
"If that is how that dirty dragon will behave then we shall be rough as well." Adrian stated as he gave command to the Cube of Paradox to create as many mirrors as possible around the Dragon of Revelation.
The Dragon of Revelation did not pay attention to the mirrors as it was still busy blasting the energy beams towards Adrian. With a smug smile, Adrian accepted all the damage that will be dealt to him as long as the mirrors could absorb the damage as well. Adrian then hid one mirror in a place that is not noticeable.
"Paradox! Use Diffraction!" Adrian stated as all the damage that he soaked up are then turned into beams of light that hit the Dragon of Revelation in different directions.
The damage that the Dragon of Revelation has received could not even make it flinch, but it is annoying. The Dragon of Revelation felt like numerous ants are biting at its skin as the scattered beams of light are hitting every part of its body that is shown. The mirrors started to crack which is the Dragon of Revelation finally found some weakness.
The Dragon of Revelation could also see that Adrian is starting to show cracks on his crystalline form. Adrian's body could not take the repetitive healing and damage that his ability started to breakdown. The Dragon of Revelation thought that everything would have been resolved as long as it continued attacking.
The Dragon of Revelation ignored the provocations and attacks that the Daemos Corps are giving it as those only feel like a pinch. The only thing annoying it is the seal that the Daemos Corps have applied to it and not their damage. Adrian acted like he is struggling but he is actually just waiting for the moment where the damage has peaked.
When the Horseman of Famine is locked into place and Adrian has acted his plan. The hidden mirror suddenly glowed as chains are shot across it, but theses chains are solid. Charon walked out of the mirror and the mirror started glowing again but this time it is filling up with energy.
"Good work, Charon." Adrian stated with a smile despite his pitiful appearance.
"Reflect!" Adrian shouted as the mirror that is filling up with energy suddenly shot a powerful beam of light.
The Horseman of Famine emitted a pitiful ear-piercing scream that shook the whole area. They thought that the Horsemen of the Apocalypse do not feel anything as they are something like undead but that is not true. The Horsemen of the Apocalypse can still feel but their pain tolerance is on a high scale.
If something like that beam of light could make the Horseman of Famine scream in intense pain, then it surely is great pain. The beam of light did not stop because Adrian focused the power of the absorbed damage from the Dragon of Revelation's attack. Adrian made the Dragon of Revelation think that its attacks were being reflected back to it by the multiple mirrors, but it was not.
Adrian only made the Dragon of Revelation think that it is getting hit by its own damage, but the former has already observed the latter's behavior. Even then the Daemos Corps attacked the Dragon of Revelation, Adrian noticed that the enemy did not bother to dodge or protect itself. The Dragon of Revelation seems to have great pride in its defenses.
The Dragon of Revelation figured out Adrian's plans and stopped firing its seven beams, but the great damage has been done. The Horseman of Famine looked pitiful as it only has a sliver of its life, and she is hanging by a thread.
"God Killing Arrow!" Hou Yiwei stated as he released a powerful attack that looked ordinary in the eyes of others.
If the arrow released by Hou Yiwei is viewed with normal eyes, then they will only see a normal arrow. If it is viewed using a special eyesight like Adrian's evil eye, then one could see the tremendous amount of power condensed into that arrow. The God Killing Arrow should not be that effective against the Horseman of Famine, but they have the energy of a dark god in their bodies.
The Horseman of Famine raised her scales once more as she tried to rewrite the laws to make sure that the arrow released by Hou Yiwei has never been. One could see reality warping around the arrow, but it did not stabilize. The space warped a bit but only to return back as if the world itself is rejecting the Horseman of Famine's ability.
"One cannot dodge that by doing so because that attack contains Providence." Adrian muttered as he could see that the arrow has divinity within it as well.
The Horseman of Famine could not escape as she was still being held by Charon with all his might. The others were also using their crowd control skills to make sure that she will not evade. As if the Horseman of Famine already accepted reality, she did not struggle but started to murmur dialogue that even Adrian cannot understand.
The arrow hit the chest of the Horseman of Famine as she suddenly screamed in great agony as the power inside her started to explode. The Horseman of Famine let go of the scales that she is holding but she still chanted a spell even if she was in the process of dying. With a last scream, the Horseman of Famine exploded into dust.
Adrian immediately used Enhanced Blink to her location and collected the soul of the defeated being. The group cheered for a moment as the Dragon of Revelation should have trouble maintaining its summoning circle, but they are shocked to find that nothing has changed. Alder the pointed at the scales left by the Horseman of Famine.
[You have killed the Horseman of Famine.]
[The Horseman of Famine has transferred some of its powers to the weapon she held.]
[Destroy the Scales of the Horseman of Famine to make sure that the summoning process of the Dragon of Revelation will start to become undone.]
When they received the notifications, they immediately rushed towards the giant scales to attack it, but a volley of arrows rained down upon them. The Horseman of Pestilence suddenly appeared in front of them and protected the scales of the defeated Horseman of Famine.
