Omega Summoner
chapter-1097

The scythe that is missing suddenly appeared behind the Tree of Life and Death. Adrian suddenly sensed that the Tree of Life and Death will be put in danger if he did not deflect an attack such as that. Adrian once again used Time Stop and Quantum Dispersion to deflect the scythe.

The scythe once again strayed off course but that also made Adrian's use of Time Stop go into cooldown. He can no longer use the effect of the two skills again which is why he needed someone to defend the Tree of Life and Death. The Horseman of Death tried attacking again by directing its scythe, but Kabrakan deflected the tree of life and death from any more attacks.

The people did make contributions as the Horseman of Death is easier to handle when its weapon is no longer in its hands. It could not deflect attacks and would rely on the unique skills that it could use to make either physical or magical damage irrelevant. The group found it difficult to carry the momentum at first, but they soon got used to the nature of the Horseman of Death.

In the end, the Horseman of Death needed to kill off the other players before it could reach the tree of life and death. The Horseman of Death would have killed any of the raid party members easily, but someone saves then just before it could attack them to their deaths. Adrian became a hardworking individual in this raid as he would save anyone from being the unfortunate victim of the Horseman of Death.

Just like what he does for Siegfried, Adrian would suddenly use his mirrors to save those in the brink of death. Adrian would either create a mirror below them that will transport them to another mirror. Another case is him using the mirror as a consumable shield that will grant the players time to dodge the attack.

There have been cases where he is unable to save them but that is where the priests come into play. With Priest players that are mostly from the Church of the Twin Gods, healing becomes easier, and they could even use curses using death energy that weakens the Horseman of Death. Since the Horseman of Death does not use any monster, they could easily focus on the raid than be distracted.

Time passed and the group noticed that they have decreased the health of the Horseman of Death by 15% in an hour. The tiredness that all players exceed makes one say that they should have been fighting for a day at least but they only fought for one hour. All of them are tired beyond belief as they focused more on dodging and dealing fast amounts of damage.

Even Adrian that is seeing the overall situation of the battlefield could feel that his stamina is definitely not recovering despite him just floating on top of the tree of life and death. He could see from his omni vision that everyone has used all their stamina just to make sure that they live up to this point. Levin Cloud and Anastacia know this and is informed of the situation as well.

"Gaia's Garden!" Anastacia stated as a powerful surge of life energy emanated from her and turned the area around her into a place teeming with life.

"Paradise of the Twin Gods!" Levin Cloud casted as a wave of healing energy came out of him.

With the two of them applying skill that can spread life energy, life that has died in the area once again bloomed but that also came at a price. The Horseman of Death that is struggling to use any skill is suddenly ignited with passion as it could feel life energy around it.

The fields around the Horseman of Death could be seen blooming with life which made the raid boss become more active. The horse of the Horseman of Death suddenly stomped the ground and released a frightening wave of miasma. Those that were caught up in the miasma suddenly lost 10% of their maximum health as a result but that is not all.

The Horseman of Death could be seen brimming with a nefarious type of energy that made anyone around it shudder. The melee players have it worse as they are also hit with a large area curse that weakened them by 15%. The Horseman of Death's aura suddenly turned from red to pure black.

Pure black flames could be seen burning around the Horseman of Death which made everyone alert. This is the indication that it will use the third skill that has been revealed to the world. The black flames that surrounded the Horseman of Death suddenly became mirages of itself. All of them could see that phantom silhouettes of the Horseman of Death are ravaging the lands.

The phantom silhouettes are multiplied with the same number of the people in the territory of the Horseman of Death. Each phantom silhouette could be seen approaching the people fast as if it was a reaper haunting them with the sole reason of getting their souls. Those that dropped below 40% health would definitely be killed which is why Adrian shouted loudly.

"Those that are below 40% health, raise your hands!" Adrian shouted as he needed to transport them.

The people that were above 40% health could be safe as they will not get executed. Those that were below 40% health are all transported to the farthest area that Adrian could send them. He then sent a bunch of priests and even summoned Saena to heal all of those that could be executed.

Just as the group thought that they have safely avoided the danger, Siegfried suddenly tried to attack the Horseman of Death that is standing. This is one of the instances that they could easily attack the Horseman of Death as it stands in place whenever it uses a skill.

Siegfried's direct attack that is expected to bash through the skill of the Horseman of Death suddenly just hit nothing. The figure of the Horseman of Death that is standing in place is actually just a mirage that is created by its skill. All of the players suddenly expanded their senses as they need to find the real body of the Horseman of Death.

The players that thought that they could just accept the damage from the skill of the Horseman of Death are suddenly in panic. They thought that they could just brush this off, but they are in grave danger if the Horseman of Death is actually the real one that attacks them. Adrian is naturally one of this people as he forgone his safety for the safety of others.

Adrian thought that he could just accept the damage of the skill, but his spine shivered as he could feel an intense miasma locked onto him. Just before Adrian could teleport away, a bony hand could be seen gripping his neck. Since he is currently unable to use his eyes, one would say that he is fortunate to not see the Horseman of Death choking him, but it is worse.

He could perfectly perceive the Horseman of Death choking him while it used its miasma to try and pollute the tree of life and death. Since it is only a copy of Yewdrassil descending, the real one should still be safe, but it would still be bad for them if the Horseman of Death were to get the energy of the copy.

Adrian tried to use Blink to escape the clutches of the Horseman of Death, but he could not activate any skill. It seems that the miasma that is corroding the tree of life and death is also corroding his body which makes him unable to use skills. The only thing that he could do is wait for someone to save him but the one that they need to save first is the tree of life and death.

"Sirius and Kanlaon, make sure that the Horseman of Death is blown faraway. Do not worry about me." Adrian commanded as his soulbounds were thinking to save him first before the tree of life and death.

Sirius suddenly dove into the shadows and appeared behind the shadow of the Horseman of Death. With his sharp fangs, Sirius wanted to tear apart the Horseman of Death but that is easier said than done. The skeletal horse of the Horseman of Death suddenly neighed and used its hind legs to kick Sirius far away.

Kanlaon's turn came and he heeded Adrian's command to the fullest and launched a breath attack on the Horseman of Death despite his master being choked. The breath attack came in at full power as Adrian is slowly losing consciousness from the pressure on his neck. It is not that he is losing air to breath, but the miasma of the Horseman of Death is slowly spreading to his body. Adrian's own body is starting to break down from the inside as blood could be seen dripping from his eyes and nose.
