Omega Summoner
chapter-728

What is more terrifying than a berserker that has almost peak damage multiplier? A berserker that has exceeded the damage multiplier because of the support that they have. This is the reason why the most fearsome duo of Sveto and Anastacia has created.

Sveto is basically a walking nuclear bomb right now and the Chinese National Team could not stop him. They could either surrender the vantage point that they have or fight the walking calamity that is now the captain of the Russian National Team.

Hou Yiwei knew that the damage multiplier on Sveto would disappear if they disengage in combat for more than ten minutes. The problem with that would be the ten minutes of them doing nothing against him because he could easily reach the Chinese National Team in three minutes with his speed.

The Russian National Team is a team that has been perfectly molded to make Sveto a walking calamity that he is now. There are two support players in the team which are Anastacia and a player with the Bard job class. The remaining two members are long-range support as they are a mage and a hunter.

One can actually say that this team composition is made to make sure that they will win since majority of the events are actually a team event. The only weakness for his composition would be the sudden loss of the walking calamity like what happened in the first event, but this has all been forgotten by all the audiences that is watching the games.

Sveto charged towards his enemies with his increased agility and did quick work of the Twin Blades since they did not even have enough time to accumulate sword energy for their sword aura. Hou Yiwei knew that they will lose the fight if they fight head on. He must at least not make their retreat an embarrassment.

Sveto then cut down the other two members of the Chinese national team since he reached them instantly. A berserker does not only get more power from the damage that he has taken but also the damage that he has dealt.

A normal berserker would have been only able to double his current stats but the bonus on Sveto has already reached 150% and that is yet to be the maximum capacity. He is able to do this because of one thing and that is because he is the Champion of a God of War.

Even he does not know the name of this God of War because he only happened to encounter his dilapidated shrine in an abandoned ruin that he explored once that he also stumbled on. You could say that the title that he earned from fixing the dilapidated shrine is what would make him a powerhouse.

In terms of rankings in the leaderboard that is dictated by levels, he is fifth in the warrior section. The only reason for that is his nature of diving head on to the battlefield. The blessing as a Champion of a God is also a heavy burden.

Gods and Goddesses will impose strict sanctions on their champions or envoys that must always set them to the path that their respective patrons want. This is the case for the followers of the dark gods as well because they will get cursed if they disobey the sanctions of their patron Gods and Goddesses.

For Adrian, the sanction to him is to never defile the boundary between life and death. This means that he must never try to resuscitate an NPC that is gong to die with either life energy, death energy or time reversal. He can do so for players as they are a special case but never for NPCs as that will disrupt the balance between life and death.

For Sveto, his only restriction is that he must never retreat in battle no matter the odds or even if he might die. If he fails to do so, then his sanction would be the weakening of his blessing as the cap that is 300% will decrease by 5% every time he retreats.

The sanction might be tight, but it also led him to become the 'Undying Berserker'. A moniker only given to a person that will always push through no matter the odds and inspires people to challenge themselves. In fact, Sveto was always a scaredy cat before he got the blessing.

His blessing actually got degraded to only 10% as he always gave up before even trying. He also retreated even if his blessing is at rock bottom. He then realized that the God of War that blessed him never gave up on him despite him being a coward.

For once in his life, he decided to risk it all as even he is also pressed for money during that time as he was a nobody. He decided to never back down because of a piece of AI believing that he deserves the blessing. It was then that the legend of the 'Undying Berseker' is born.

In all of his life, he never believed in himself and all it took was the stubborn persistence of an AI to push him to become better. His story is actually very inspiring which made him get featured on the Pandemonium Hero column as he has one of the most inspiring stories about Pandemonium. He became a better person because of a game.

"HO! Sveto has already annihilated four of the Chinese National Team members and he is now aiming for Hou Yiwei! Will the Russian National Team wipeout the Chinese National Team? If they ever do so, then this will be the first wipeout made by a player in the event!" The announcer stated in order to hype up the crowd even more.

Sveto went straight towards Hou Yiwei without stopping despite him being shot by numerous arrows. The berserker did not even flinch if an arrow hits him because the damage that he received will always be healed by Anastacia. Sveto has complete trust in Anastacia and the outcome of the first event does not change that.

Hou Yiwei knew that he will not be able to take out Sveto which is why he decided to take out Sveto's other team members. Hou Yiwei performed several skills that would mistake anyone that he is targeting Sveto when in fact it is different.

Hou Yiwei got pushed towards a cliff and he could only choose to either fly away or fight to the death. Hou Yiwei is more ashamed of the embarrassment of not fighting to the death as he will surely be mocked if he escaped now. He took a deep breath and pulled his bowstring with all that he got.

"Phoenix Shot!" Hou Yiwei stated as his whole body burned into flames.

The flames then travelled all the way to his arrow and took the shape of a bird. He let the arrow lose and a giant firebird materialized into thin air that had a wingspan of thirty meters. Sveto saw this and could only activate his passive skill that nullified damage once.

The Phoenix Shot did no damage to Sveto but the story is different when he looked behind him. Two of his team members actually got instantly killed as Hou Yiwei hid another two skills that aimed towards the mage and hunter team member.

Sveto knew that he needed to take revenge for his fallen comrades, but Hou Yiwei now aimed for Anastacia. If Hou Yiwei kills her then it would mean that he could have a fighting chance against Sveto. Even Hou Yiwei knew this as his greatest headache right now is Anastacia.

Hou Yiwei thought that Anastacia is an easy target, but he is mistaken. The beautiful maiden is more than just a healer as she is the Envoy of Life. Everything before her must never easily die and that also proves true for her team members.

Hou Yiwei noticed that the two Russian national team members that he killed is not vanishing. He thought that it is just part of the process, but he saw that his team members have a five-minute counter for respawning and their bodies became particles of light upon dying.

"Why are their bodies not disappearing?" Hou Yiwei suddenly blurted out which is also what the audience had in mind.

"Of course, they are not dead. Just because you saw their health bars become zero a moment ago does not mean that they died. You never even received the notification that you killed them. They are still alive after all." Anastacia stated with a beautiful but terrifying smile as if even death will bow before her.

If one looked closely at the match, then they would have seen that the two members' health did become zero but in just a split second became with a value of one. This is the effect of Anastacia's passive skill called Second Life and it even works on NPCs.

It will prevent the sudden death of anyone that is around her only once.. They will also be put in a state of suspended animation for one minute as they heal back to 10% of their health.
