Omega Summoner
chapter-796

Blade's fast defeat came at a surprise to the audience as they never thought that the second ranked player would be defeated quickly. Ain had a look of relief when he exited the gaming pod as his plan of only showing a Martial Artist's skills on the first few events managed to pay off.

Unlike other events, his job class is focused more on fighting which is why he knows that he will shine in the fourth event. Even he thinks that he has a high chance of defeating Hou Yiwei as long as he can shorten the distance between them.

"Who would have thought that Blade will be defeated but that does not mean that the Japanese national team is out of the waters! If the South Korean national team wants to advance to the next battle, then they need to also win the team match!" The announcer stated as he guided the players to their gamepods.

The captain of each team flipped coins and it landed in favor of the South Korean national team. Ain chose the first battleground which is the stadium as they would be severely weaker in other battlegrounds. Their team is not really equipped for tactical confrontation.

The stadium battleground is modeled after the Roman Colosseum but with the audience being empty. The two teams materialized in the stadium, but they were not allowed to move immediately. in a stage located in the center bleachers of the stadium, a figure of someone suddenly appeared.

"Welcome gladiators! If you manage to impress me then I might give you something in exchange for the joy of battle that all of you challengers bring. I, the God of War, Ares would welcome those that can make me see the joy in battle." Ares, The God of War, stated in his echoing voice.

The players did not know what the God of War stated but Ares then clapped his hands. The arena is suddenly filled with people looking at them. Each of these viewers are actually people that are logged inside the game and is watching the event there. They managed to get lucky to get chosen as an audience in the actual match.

Two bars are then floating with the names of the two national team under them. They did not know what that bar meant but they had a hunch that it is related to the God of War.

"Start the battle!" Ares, the God of War, announced with his resounding voice. The movement restriction is now lifted, and the players can now move.

The Japanese national team started the attack with both Vayu and Blade immediately reaching the opposing team. Blade went for Ain's neck while Vayu aimed for Creepysoo's body. Ain did not panic and evaded the attack with a hair's breadth as last time while Creepysoo summoned a bone wall to stop the attack.

Mariposa of the Japanese national team then released her beetle, mantis, and butterfly soulbounds. The other two members of the Japanese national team used their support spells to buff their two front line members.

"You seem to be rushing too much old man." Creepysoo's voice came from behind the bone wall.

"Knowing you, little boy. You are the most dangerous one out of all of us here." Vayu answered as he knows that the Prince of the Undead is the one that they need to be careful of

"I do not know about that. Summon Don Quixote." Creepysoo stated as he summoned his undead knight.

The undead knight then charged towards Vayu and kept him from easily attacking the Prince of the Undead. Vayu could not easily overpower Don Quixote because the undead knight has great stamina and strength compared to him that has great speed and strength.

When Creepysoo got a few breather moments, he then summoned Robin Hoodie to aid his remaining team members. The soulbounds that Mariposa summoned are pressuring the three supporting members of the South Korean national team.

Vayu knew that he could not defeat Creepysoo with just half-hearted attacks. He decided to gather the wind elementals in the stadium while continuing his attacks on Creepysoo. He is a bit thankful to Mariposa as Creepysoo's attention is now halved since he is also controlling the undead knight Robin Hoodie.

What Vayu did not notice is that Creepysoo is also doing something sneaky while dodging the attacks of the former. If they learned one thing while battling with Adrian, then that would be to look at the overall situation.

Creepysoo might not perfectly imitate what Adrian does during battle where he is constantly planning and assessing the situation mid battle, but he can multitask to some extent. Every time that he moves away, he would leave small magic circles on the ground that turn invisible after a split second.

He managed to do this while evading Vayu's attacks that are becoming faster and more powerful. Dodging alone could not solve that as Don Quixote will bear the brunt of Vayu's attack if Creepysoo cannot dodge it. This made the undead knight's health fall down to half already.

Vayu's relentless attacks finally paid off as his sword now glows in greenish energy. With one swing from his katana, a large tornado is released that aimed for Creepysoo and those behind him. Creepysoo knew that dodging would make his team get hit.

If he gets hit, then he might get combo 'ed to death by Vayu as he knows that the old man can attack mid-air. Creepysoo is left with no choice but to activate the magic circles that he planted on the ground. The number of magic circles might be lacking to the original number that he wants but that does not mean it would not be useful.

"Activate: Welcome to the World of the Undead!" Creepysoo stated as he slammed his staff on the ground.

The small magic circles that he placed on the ground suddenly showed itself and expanded to cover the whole stadium. The stadium suddenly started to get covered with the death god's miasma. Some tombstones even appeared in some random locations of the map.

[The area affected by Welcome to the World of the Undead will be polluted by the God of Death's miasma.]

[Those that do not have the Blessing of the God of Death or in a party with those that have the blessing will receive debuffs.]

[Reduce the defense of those without the blessing by 5%.]

[Those without the blessing will lose 0.01% of their mana per second. If they have no mana, then they will lose 0.01% of their health per second instead.]

[All undead in the area will have their strength and health regeneration be increased by 50%.]

[Ten magic circles have been applied in the area. The duration of this skill would be 10 minutes.]

The bored Ares suddenly sat upright in the throne that he is sitting upon as his satisfaction meter for the South Korean National Team's side increased. The audience noticed this, but they were more focused on the battle happening in the stadium.

Don Quixote and Robin Hoodie increased the pace of their attacks which pushed their opponents back. The weakening of the defense might have been small but strong attacks will make this small debuff a big game changer. Plus. Creepysoo is not yet finished but he needed to block the tornado heading his way.

"Armor of Darkness!" Creepysoo stated as he equipped all his allies with an armor made of pure shadow.

[Can block one attack as long as Armor of Darkness is equipped. This can only trigger once. DPS attacks will get blocked from affecting the wearer as well.]

One of the Legendary skills that Creepysoo learned is the spell called Armor of Darkness. Even Vayu does not know this skill as only Adrian has seen it being used. The skill is so perfect that it even blocked the instant kill function of the twin daggers primordial armament.

The tornado heading towards Creepysoo is then blocked by Don Quixote that is wearing the Armor of Darkness. Creepysoo knew that this tornado is not something that can be blocked with one Armor of Darkness, but the tornado just passed through Don Quixote as he thought.

The tornado passed right through him as well while the Armor of Darkness got dispersed since it already fulfilled its purpose. The other team members are safe as well, but the Armor of Darkness is consumed. With the chance given to them, they managed to turn the tides of the battle.

Blade is sent flying by Ain once again and the Japanese National Team is suddenly backed into the corner. They cannot be reckless and save their strengths at his stage of the competition.

"Mariposa, buy us some time." Blade stated as he needed to fully integrate with the demon soul this time.

Both Blade and Vayu started to use the skills that they are saving up for the finals. Blade is covered in a darkish red flame while Vayu is covered in a sphere made of wind.. Mariposa knew that she needed to step up her game as well which is why she used the skill given to summoners at level 200.
