Chapter 1543 Equinox Vs Lebou I
Chapter 1543 Equinox Vs Lebou I
?
The members of the guild always thought that their guild leader as a gentle type as he often gives encouraging words to them. They actually see him as an angel because of the way he always tries to see the good in people. They already built this image that he does not do anything close to the great demoness that they call Solstice.
It was only when they saw that Adrian could easily break a weakened being's neck and pour its blood into the barrier stone that their image of him shattered. The kind and angelic guild master was actually coldblooded when he needs to be which is in fact terrifying because a sweet smile hides the cruelty. They thought that he was a great icon that can be their object of admiration on all that is good.
All the members of the shadow unit are actually the original members of the Equinox Fan Club. It seems that they were people that he saved directly and indirectly when he did quests or fought against powerful enemies. He also greeted them with a smile and asked if they were fine when he saved them which is contrary to the stoic face that he is giving off now.
"Let us not forget that the guild master is the younger brother of the Training Devil (Solstice). He should not be normal if he were to survive living in the same house as her." One of the members of the shadow unit stated.
"That just adds more flavor to his character. He had to endure the pressure of being in the same house as the Training Devil. One could only imagine the hardships that one had to endure in order to live a comfortable life. In fact, I actually admire the guild master even more because of it." Another member of the shadow unit muttered.
What they did not know is that there is an even more fearsome Training Devil which is Adrian's mom. If they already view Solstice as something akin to a torturer, then they should not meet or rather ask Adrian's mom to train them. If they do, then they might give up on the game entirely if that were to happen.
Adrian poured the blood of the serpent humanoid, but the barrier stone only glowed a bit. He looked at the runes and it only faded a little bit which means that he needs more blood. He was about to gather another serpent humanoid when a golden pillar of light suddenly descended onto an area that is quite far from Adrian.
The area is where the Avatar of Shesmu, Lebou, crashed when he got hit by the Nether Explosion. His body is still not fully healed as one could see that parts of his skin is charred but the holy energy that the God Shesmu has given him started to heal his body. Parts of his skin can be seen slowly recovering as the God Shesmu descended onto Lebou's body.
"It looks like I will not be able to give the barrier stone more blood. I will let you guys handle that as I will handle that guy." Adrian stated as he gave the barrier stone to Awraka.
Just as Adrian gave the barrier stone to Awraka, Lebou who is being possessed by the God Shesmu suddenly appeared before him. Adrian did not counterattack but it was Charon that did so. Chains suddenly rose from the ground that blocked the two scimitars that Lebou wielded.
The attack was greatly nullified as it was actually more of a magical attack due to the magical energy coating the blades. Charon would then rise from the ground as well since his master has now been targeted. This was the first time that Charon has been seen once more after his evolution. All the players actually thought that it was a different undead, but they suddenly saw the chains and it was without a doubt Charon.
Charon created a flurry of chains that headed towards Lebou but he was able to actually cut them with holy energy given by the God Shesmu. Since Lebou cannot be targeted using the chains, Charon immediately selected the entire area as some sort of domain. Charon spread the dread aura around until it was very thin but doing so extended the range that it can use the chains.
The remaining Followers of Apophis and the Followers of Shesmu that were still alive are suddenly attached to chains. Those affected by Charon's chains could be seen becoming sluggish as their life started to get absorbed. Charon did not only attack enemies to its chains but also the allied forces around it.
The allied forces that were losing health started to regain the health that they lost from fighting opponents that are more powerful than them. The allied forces mostly consisted of those that are in the espionage business which is why they are not very tanky. It was not only health that is restored as their mana was also being restored which as well is a great shock to them.
The other guilds know about Charon's abilities as it does have a massive fanbase. It is also the priority target for guilds if they ever fight against Adrian as they see its ability to be very over tuned. The fact that it can target multiple enemies in the area and also grant barriers to people is a massive strength when it comes to large raids.
Now, the people here are even more impressed and afraid as Charon's abilities increased further. Not only can he heal the people, but he can now restore mana as well which is something broken in the eyes of the people. Also, any excess would actually give them excess health and mana.
"What is this dark flame thing in my weapon?" One of the players muttered.
[Your attacks will have a small chance to apply Dread.]
When the players learned that they could apply a debuff to an enemy by attacking, they were extremely delighted as they would be able to fight with them easily. The players noticed that not all of them were able to get this special enhancement, but the enemy could be seen getting stacks of Dread just by being connected to Charon's chains.
"Charon, support the people while also giving me some. If the other people fall, then all of them will target us. We cannot afford to use some of the powerful skills we have when the Shadow of Apophis might be nearby." Adrian stated as he summoned Saena as well.
"Saena, make sure to heal the people as well so that they live long. At least, they should live long enough until I can kill Lebou." Adrian commanded as Saena immediately flew to the skies and released a healing light wave. She would also use some attacks to help the others while her skills are on cooldown.
"Do you think such tricks will stop me?" Lebou stated as his voice echoed which means he is still being possessed by the God Shesmu.
"I know that magical chains might not be able to stop you as divine energy is flowing into your body but that is not true for your followers." Adrian stated as ten seconds have passed since the chains were attached to the enemies.
[Your soulbound Charon has applied Hindered to a number of enemies.]
[Your soulbound Charon has rooted a number of enemies for two seconds.]
The notification appeared and all the enemies that were applied with ten stacks of Dread are suddenly rooted for two seconds. The enemies thought that the root was bothersome but not impossible to overcome. The enemies could feel the root slowly fading and about to move but their whole body suddenly became stiff.
[Your soulbound Charon has stunned a number of enemies for one second.]
All the enemies that were about to pounce of the other players suddenly fell down on the ground. All the players did not waste the precious opportunity that they were given. All of them attacked the enemies that were stunned or rooted.
Lebou noticed that his allies were now the ones being pummeled and it was due to one person. He knew that letting the demon would spell disaster for the great plan that he thought of. He would get punished if he does not do what he has promised as he also made use of a precious treasure which is the barrier stone.
"The blood of my brothers shall be the fuel of my raging anger." Lebou stated as the ground started to glow red.
Lebou's body started to morph into a lion like appearance as his outer body has been healed enough that the holy energy of the God Shesmu is now fully used in his body. The two scimitars that he is wielding started to glow blood red as well. One could even see that blood is dripping from it despite it not being used to cut anything.
