Omega Summoner
chapter-649

Zhang Zimo has gotten afflicted by numerous status ailments that prevented him from escaping. He tried moving his body, but it would not respond to his thoughts. A boss NPC is actually locked down by multiple status ailments.

This would not normally happen, but the effect of the Poison of God is very effective against living beings. One by one, the bandits fell as they tried to rescue their leader as they knew that saving him is the only thing that can help them escape.

They could not run away as they get pulled back to the area of the battle every time they wish to escape. They feel as if they are puppets withs strings attached to them because they cannot escape the area that they are in.

The bandits felt as if they have offended an Immortal as they can see that a sacred being like a dragon is serving it. One of the most elusive beings and could be said to stand on equal tiers to holy beasts are the so-called Immortals.

They are beings that could be described as 'people who transcended mortality'. Even Adrian knows of them because the area he is going towards is being managed by an immortal. Although, he does not know how many Immortals exist because they rarely show themselves and said to even blend in mortal society.

One thing that made the bandits have this conclusion is the floating spear that keeps killing off their comrades. The one controlling the spear did not even bother showing himself which meant that he values himself highly like the rumors of the Immortals.

The bandits are quickly getting reduced because the guards protecting the courage have rested a bit and is now on the offensive. The girl from the Heihudie clan is still protecting the carriage but exhaustion could be clearly seen on her face as she is also kneeling on one knee.

Even the guards of the carriage are already panting and sweat could be seen dribbling down on them. Suddenly, a heavenly note entered the ears of everyone in the area. With just one pluck of a certain string instrument, all the exhaustion of the guards and the girl from the Heidudie Clan vanished.

Adrian, who heard the sound, could feel something different from the energy released by the note. He felt something divine rush from the inside of the carriage. He definitely felt that a rush of divine energy come out of the carriage to bless those that are helping the one inside.

Even Adrian did not know of skills that could perfectly heal their allies health and stamina. Saena could do that, but she would die as a result because of the large drawbacks of giving life energy to her allies. The skill that was used just now did not have any drawbacks and even increased the strength of the carriage owner's allies.

Zhang Zimo could not believe that their targets suddenly got back and returned back to full energy. He was confident that they could at least kill their target while sacrificing some of his men but now the story is different.

"I need to escape as throwing my life in this stupid area. I will just return that money as I already have reservations taking it in the first place. I should not have accepted the shady job in the first place as no one is willing to pay a star crystal to kill one maiden." Zhang Zhimo muttered to himself as he looked for a way to escape.

Zhang Zimo tried to sprint away, but Adrian saw this and immediately used the violent way to bring someone back. Adrian used Quantum Dispersion and made the space in front of Zhang Zimo explode. The Boss NPC got blown away as he did not expect a sudden attack like that because he managed to shake off the three monsters that are cornering him.

Suddenly, a spear came flying down on his back and slashed it. The spear followed up with four more attacks and a mark suddenly appeared on his body. The mark suddenly exploded and dealt damage to him that he did not expect. He could feel that his flesh exploded from the spell as blood got splattered.

"Finish him." Adrian commanded his three soulbounds.

The three soulbound did not disobey their master as they prepared their attacks at full power. Zhang Zimo got hit and it did not take long before a series of attacks followed. The last attack that Zhang Zimo could see is a spear chopping of his flying neck.

He could not even say anything to curse the one that plotted to kill him. In the end of his life, the boss NPC thought that he was set up to get killed by those that paid him. He did not know that some things were just meant to be as Adrian would have not reached the area if he was late.

Had Adrian opted to visit the Vermillion Bird then a different sight would have welcomed him on his way. He would have seen the carriage totally destroyed and everyone that guarded or inside of it as corpses littering the ground.

Sometimes fate has a way of making sure that something good will happen to those that are not evil. It may come unexpectedly, or it might not come as fate is a cruel mistress. Seeing their boss get killed, the remaining bandits tried to escape but Adrian sent his three soulbounds to clean up the remaining bandits.

Sirius and Kimat easily did that as they are faster and could smell their prey. Kanlaon used the air to his advantage as he lay waste on the bandits that were on the ground. Adrian did not sit still as he also commanded the spear to finish off some of the remaining bandits.

The guards of the carriage suddenly felt that they might be next as they guarded their ruined carriage with looks of persons ready to throw away their life.
