Chapter 615 - Faceless Arch Priest Vs Angels III
The light beams all bounced on other mirrors that did not fire the beam. It actually looked like someone is having a light show since the beams of light are dancing in the area. When a beam of light will hit a friendly unit, a mirror will spawn and redirect the beam of light.
Each beam of light can only bounce for a total of ten times before dissipating and losing power. Each bounce will also dissipate the power of a beam of light by 50%. The damage might grow weaker but numerous damage piling up is still a lot of damage.
The battlefield located near Adrian is swallowed by beams of light that easily passes through each enemy. Even those that are on his side are amazed that the skill is not hitting them. There have been cases where they got caught up in spells fired by allies.
Friendly spells still damage the player but with reduced damage if the player could not control the spell. Adrian does not need to truly control the skill because he has a weapon that has more intellect and predictive intelligence than him.
The only downside for the current spell is that Adrian cannot use any other spell as the Cube of Paradox is busy. Adrian did not have to worry about that though because the enemies that are charging at him are being blocked by his team members.
Kabrakan even blocked a spell that was released by the Faceless Arch Priest towards Adrian. The weak faceless monsters died while the stronger ones have been reduced to almost in the red zone for their health. (Red Zone: Health becoming 30% or lower)
The faceless monsters that are weakened are easily killed by the players and the angels are now prioritizing the Faceless Arch Priest. The Faceless Arch Priest is still chanting, and the summoning magic circle is still continuing to glow. It would not take long for it to be able to summon the Faceless Arch Fiend.
"Fools. Did you think that I did not increase the production of mindless monsters?" The Faceless Arch Priest stated as it pierced its chest and took out something like a heart.
The Faceless Arch Priest then dropped the thing that looked like a heart in the middle of the magic circle. The magic circle glowed brighter and the pieces of the faceless monsters that got separated through slicing or the meat pastes suddenly all went towards the magic circle.
The Faceless Arch Priest knew that it would not be able to win against the angels and the other enemies if it does not sacrifice something. The Faceless Arch Priest lost 25% of its health as it used one of its hearts to call forth the great behemoth that is its slave.
"Arise: Faceless Arch Fiend!" The Faceless Arch Priest stated as a shockwave is released from its body.
Everyone got blown away by the shockwave as a huge figure suddenly started to gather and combine inside the magic circle. A hulking behemoth that has four muscular arms and muscular body. A head that seemed to be sown on the body as its neck is non-existent.
[The Faceless Arch Fiend has successfully summoned the Faceless Arch Fiend.]
[The summoning did not go without sacrifices as it sacrificed 25% of its total health to bring the faceless monster that is close to the incarnation of destruction.]
Adrian saw the Faceless Arch Fiend from his eyes rather than the perspective of his mirror. The only thing that popped out in his mind is that this monster seemed to be trying to be a knock off version f a Diabolon.
"To think that it is trying its hardest to become the Diabolons who are called Destruction Incarnate. How cute." Adrian stated.
"Which part of it is cute? All I see is flesh and muscle that is grotesque. Your views on what is cute has definitely changed." Peridot remarked with her snarky attitude.
"I think the better thing to say is how are we going to kill that." Levin Cloud stated as the Faceless Arch Fiend could actually go toe to toe with one of the angels.
"Focus on cleaning up this battlefield first. Those angels have already presented to be the \'saviors\' which is why we should let them do their thing. We will step up when they return to their mortal bodies." Adrian stated as he knows that angels do not have mortal bodies for unknown reasons.
The angels that are trying to kill both the Faceless Arch Priest and the Faceless Arch Fiend are now having immense difficulty. The Faceless Arch Priest now focused on attacking the angels with a multitude of spells while the Faceless Arch Fiend acted as its meat shield in a literal sense.
"HOLY JAVELIN!" The angel wielding a spear stated as his spear got coated with a golden light.
"Heavens Sealing Chains!" The angel wielding a sword and shield stated as strange small doors suddenly appeared out of nowhere and bound the Faceless Arch Priest in place.
The Faceless Arch Priest knew that it could not defend itself from the incoming attack which is why it commanded the Faceless Arch Fiend to soak it for the former. The angel let lose his spear that has golden runes circulating upon it.
The Faceless Arch Fiend tried to block the attack, but its body just got pierced. The spear continued on as it has a piercing attribute added to it. The spear even negated the barrier that the Faceless Arch Priest used on itself as it pierced its chest. The spear continued to fly without stopping with a destination in mind.
"To think that they planned to accidentally kill me. I guess I should have expected that." Adrian stated as he could feel the presence of the spear in his territory.
"Chrono Lag!" Adrian stated as he slowed down the spear a little, but the spell just got broken when it is cast.
"No choice then. Time Stop!" Adrian stated as he stopped the flow of time for one second. But that one second will be enough for him to return the gift.
"Chrono Shift!" Adrian stated as he applied the magic to himself so that the six mirrors flew faster than before.
"Paradox, use all six of the main mirrors to return the speak. Make sure to pierce the heads of the Faceless Arch Priest and the Faceless Arch Fiend. I would not mind if you adjusted the trajectory a little to scare off the ones thinking about me too much" Adrian commanded.
"Affirmative. 50% of the total mana of the master will be consumed as a result and the Primordial Stance will be cancelled along with the Primordial Armament." The Cube of Paradox stated.
"Continue." Adrian stated and the Cube of Paradox took his command to action.
The Time Stop effect faded and the world once again continued. The six main mirrors converge to make a new mirror to absorb the spear. It seems that the Cube of Paradox\' calculation ability is still not perfect as Adrian got damaged by 5%.
"An unexpected complication occurred but it is minimized due to the use of 5% of master\'s health." The Cube of Paradox stated as it is now preparing to return the spear.
A small mirror that is only about one foot in diameter appeared just behind the head of the Faceless Arch Priest. The mirror released the stored spear with its spells still in effect. The spear pierced one of the mouths of the Faceless Arch Priest rendering it unable to double cast for the time being.
The spear continued towards the Faceless Arch Fiend\'s head. The spear came out of the mouth of the Faceless Arch Fiend and continued on towards the face of one of the angels. The spear breezed through the cheek of one of the angels as if it is a perfectly calculated trajectory.
The Faceless Arch Priest screamed in pain because Adrian also put something a little extra on the tip of the spear. He thought that the Faceless Arch Priest will gladly receive his great gift of nether energy. The nether energy that he coated the tip of the spear with already dissipated when it hit the Faceless Arch Fiend.
The ones who became vigilant are the angels as they did not expect something like that to happen. They know that the great demon should not be able to do what he just did as this is not their first time to encounter greater demons. The angels suddenly felt a chill down their spine as if they are being read like an open book.
They clearly knew what the demon is trying to send to them. The message of \'Do not try anything funny or else I will not be as kind as before.\' The angels wanted to rage and attack the demon openly for his blatant face slap towards them, but they could feel that their bodies are getting sluggish.
"Deal with this pest first as our spiritual bodies will not last long. We shall hunt the demon for another time since it will not o anywhere." One of the angels stated telepathically towards the two others.
