Chapter 625 - Revenge For A Friend
[You have gained the passive skill, Nether Dancer.]
[Your skills have a bonus effect that they will now affect the whole area five meters in front of you.]
[Your basic attack after casting Shadow Walker will do splash damage in a cone two meters in front of you.]
[You have faded from the background and turned invisible. The effect is shared to your soulbounds.]
"Time to hunt a stray irritating bird." Adrian stated as he followed the location that Sirius has given him.
Thankfully, the angel that branded Creepysoo is not fighting the minions of the dark god and stayed in the area of the outer circle of the fallen imperial capital. It seems that some of the angels are making rounds and attacking nonhuman individuals indiscriminately.
They do not dare to attack the side that is guarded by the Dragonkin though for fear of retaliation. They mostly attacked individuals like undeads or creature of other races. They even attacked the newly added dark elves as they see them as impure for, they worship death.
The dark elves could only retreat from the fallen imperial capital with the others that the angels persecute. There are ten pairs of angels that are scouring the outer part of the imperial capital, but they only have one pair of wings which means that they are excluded from the fight from being too weak and assigned to do crowd control.
Angels are proud creatures which is why they do not have detection abilities for invisibility because they cannot use it. For them, hiding their glorious forms would be a crime towards the Goddess of Light that made them to have perfect bodies.
That is perfect for Adrian as angels are so arrogant that they have lots of openings for beings that are invisible. This is the reason why they move in pairs to supplement their weakness that they do not want other people to learn about.
"There he is master." Sirius stated via their soul link as Adrian saw a male angel attacking another group of players that wanted to sneak in an attack to the dark god. Right now, the players hate the angels more than the dark god for trying to stop them from contributing.
Adrian did not immediately attack as he checked the vicinity and see if the other pairs of angels are nearby. When Adrian saw that the angels do not even try and talk to one another, he immediately learned that their own hubris is making them not cooperate with others of their kind.
One could see that the pairs of angels do not look happy working together. They look like people who were forced to work on a project but want their ideas to be the outcome. The more that Adrian learned about the angels, the more his smile widens.
"This would be easier than I thought. All I need to do is bring that winged bastard to another dimension where the effect of the domain is non-existent." Adrian muttered as he looked at Sirius.
Adrian unfurled his wings and crept up towards the angel, but he did not expect that the angel will suddenly look back. It seems that angels can feel killing intent if it is directed at them. Fortunately, the angel thought that he must have mistaken.
"Suddenly having cod feet Firiel? Do not tell me that you re backing away right now even though it is the command of her Eminence." The female angels stated as she mocked Firiel.
"It is not that, Liziel. Unlike you, I am totally loyal to the cause as her Eminence Pristina is the only one who sacrificed her powers just to cross the seal." Firiel stated.
"If you are done with your daydreaming, we have a bunch of rats that need to be taught a lesson." Liziel stated as she pointed her sword to another bunch of players that are trying to sneak in and get a piece of the pie which is the dark god.
"Burning Shadows." Adrian whispered as a black shadow emanated from his own and covered a circular area with a five-meter diameter.
The angels got bound by their own shadows which they thought as offensive as darkness attribute magic is being used on them. They are stunned and could not move which is why they started to descend to the ground as their wings could no longer flap.
"Sirius, open up!" Adrian commanded as Sirius popped out from Adrian\'s shadow and ate Firiel.
Adrian did not bother getting Liziel as of yet as he knew that other players would want revenge. He looked down on the shocked Liziel as she descended to the ground before disappearing in Sirius\' shadow. It all happened so quick that Firiel did not even realize that he got eaten by Sirius and sent to the shadow dimension.

Firiel could not believe that he got caught unaware by a demon and vowed to kill the demon once he or she shows their face. He did not want to admit that he got played but he did not think too much about it as Liziel also fell for it.
"I just need to kill this demon bastard and my ranking will increase. I will finally be in the eyes of her Eminence and have her as my woman." Firiel shouted with a maniacal laugh.
"You are more twisted than I ever realized." Adrian stated which made the angel look at him with disdain and eyes full of rage.
"Do you think that dragging me to a world without light will make me weak. I am light incarnate!" Firiel stated as he brought out his full power to shine a light on the dark world of the shadow domain.
Firiel laughed as he thought that it is his victory but could only laugh upon realizing that the light coming from his body did not illuminate the place. The best it could do is illuminate the area one meter around him. The puny light actually made Adrian crack up and laugh loudly that Firiel charged towards him with pure aggression.
[The effects of the domain debuffs has been removed.]
"Finally." Adrian muttered as the debuffs placed on him are no longer active. This is the reason why he did not immediately attack as he has a great chance of losing if the debuffs are active. Now that the debuffs are gone, Firiel finally felt the monster that is his opponent.
"Sirius, Kanlaon and Kimat, go play with the bird." Adrian commanded as these are the three soulbounds that he brought here. He left the others in the real world to stand guard and move the shadow to a place where the angels could not find. Adrian is currently inside of Dodu\'s shadow.
The three soulbounds ravaged the pathetic angel as the three toyed with it just like Firiel toyed with the others. The angel that is shining in light suddenly started to become a dim light bulb that is soon going to run out. The angel, Firiel, is terrified of the wolf that is attacking him as it deals a lot of damage to his spiritual body with even trying.
Firiel suddenly remembered a special angel that did not follow the Goddess of Light as he became the most powerful of the angels. A name that should not be spoken by the other angels for it will bring the wrath of the jealous Goddess of Light.
The most beautiful angel that strived for perfection and became a being higher than an angel. The Goddess of Light wanted to possess this angel as he was the most beautiful light that she has ever seen because he is light itself.
"Why do you have the power of Samael!?" Firiel shouted as he was already alive when Samael became a different being. He is so different that he was given a crown by the Qlipoth. He was also one of the most influential warriors when the dark gods first came but he disappeared when the war was over.
"Let us just say that certain things led me to have his power. Soul Eater!" Adrian stated as he swiped his scythe and decapitated the angel. The angel did not leave a body but dispersed into light that the shadows devoured for some reason.
[You have killed the Angel, Firiel.]
[Animosity from the angels has increased.]
[You can never be friends with angels aligned with Pristina\'s faction.]
"So even angels have factions. I guess that makes sense since not all people could do their stuck-up ways." Adrian stated as he told Sirius to return them to the real world.
[You have contributed to the death of the Angel, Liziel.]
[Animosity from the angels has increased.]
[You are now considered as an enemy to be killed by angels of Pristina\'s faction.]
"What?!" Adrian stated as he looked at the direction where Liziel dropped.. He saw a hooded individual with a big build and is holding some kind of sword that had the same aura as that of the god slaying weapons.
