Chapter 1129
"No problem. The plan is simple as we will need to kill off all the Horsemen of the Apocalypse as fast as we can. We will not split up but attack it as a team since killing just one will be a major game changer." Adrian stated.
"We should kill the Horseman of Death as a first target then." Siegfried stated.
"Not really. The Horseman of Death is the least of our worries." Adrian stated but the others did not seem to believe him. They thought that Adrian would want revenge on the Horseman of Death since he was the reason why he became unable to fight earlier.
"Care to explain?" Faust asked as he thought that Adrian would want to kill the Horseman of Death first as he was the one that could instantly kill any target as long as a threshold is reached.
"The first one that we need to kill would be the Horseman of Famine. She is the most dangerous one out of all of them. Her powers to manipulate the rules of the world must be stopped or else she will grow more powerful. She could even hit the Light Dragon King even when she transforms herself into particles of light." Adrian stated as he explained why he wanted the Horseman of Famine to be killed first.
"Why do you want to kill the Horseman of Death last though? Is he not the most dangerous among all of them." Ain stated.
"The Horseman of Death is actually the least of our worries because we have Levin Cloud and Anastacia. They can prevent mass casualties as long as they are alive. I can also do the same in this form as well and have soulbounds that can generate shields and heal wounds. The one thing that I am most worried about is a being that could defy the rules of nature." Adrian stated.
As Adrian explained, they soon remembered that the Horseman of Famine could actually interfere with space itself which means Adrian will not be able to save them should she team up with other horsemen. The one thing that they are avoiding are the Horsemen of the Apocalypse joining hands with each other.
"Let us start then. Talking will not solve much." Frey stated as she wanted to go into battle now.
Adrian smiled as he thought of that as well since they only needed to work together to bring down a horseman. They do not need perfect teamwork or great communication because their team is not formed with that reason. Adrian formed the team for one reason only and that is to kill the enemy as fast as they could.
Adrian waved his hands and mirrors swallowed them. The vanguard team could be seen suddenly dropping from the sky. The Horseman of Famine did not bother much about the small fries that suddenly came crashing down on her because her priority is still the Light Dragon King.
This attitude of looking down on them became the spear to penetrate the Horseman of Famine. Frey is the first to start the attacks as she summoned the strength of her sister Valkyries. The spear that she wielded easily penetrated the barrier that the Horseman of Famine created.
Following up with Frey\'s attack is Vayu as he suddenly unsheathed his sword in such a quick fashion that it felt like he did not even draw it. The only evidence that he drew his weapon is the fact that a gentle wind blew over and the barrier erected by the Horseman of Famine is suddenly seen with a sharp cut.
With a thunderous shout, Siegfried wielded his large axe into the remaining barrier and shattered it like glass. The Horseman of Famine tried to reforge the broken barrier, but the Light Dragon King used this chance to use numerous light ray magic spells to deal immense damage against the horseman. The Horseman of Famine flinched a bit upon getting hit by numerous light ray spells which prompted another opening.
Ain suddenly got covered with blue silver aura that has the shape of a fox. He then proceeded to use the instant damaging skill called Sage Arts: Fox Hunt. Ain managed to pinpoint a weak point of the Horseman of Famine which made her defenseless and unable to cast for one second. The defenseless duration would have been longer if the Horseman of Famine was not a raid boss, but they will take everything that they can have.
"Synergy skill: Blood Fang!" Solstice stated.
"Synergy skill: Blood Claw!" Lycan stated.
The two were waiting for this opportunity to use their synergy skill as they can only use it when they fight together. Lycan and Solstice suddenly transformed into red silhouettes of a giant bat and a giant wolf. The two then fused together to create a wolf bat hybrid that crashed towards the Horseman of Famine.
The barrage of attacks did not end there as the next ones that attacked are the back line. Hou Yiwei opened up the attack with his signature Phoenix Shot. Alder then gathered fire elementals along with Soleil to help in making the attack more powerful. Faust did not idle as he made sure that he used his Salamander to increase the fire element of the attack once more.
The Phoenix Shot that is only supposed to have a flaming bird with a wingspan of eight meters suddenly doubled in size. The red-hot flames that are supposed to cover it has been added two additional layers. A searing blue tint and an orange outline could be seen covering the Horseman of Famine as the flaming bird swallowed the enemy in a flaming inferno.
The Horseman of Famine is not that easy to kill though as it raised its scales in the air and released a terrifying amount of mana. The flaming inferno that is supposed to swallow the Horseman of Famine suddenly turned into water. Everyone is shocked to see this, but the Light Dragon King was not as she has been encountering this ability since the fight began.
The Horseman of Famine raised her scales once more and directed this torrent of water towards everyone. Giant mirrors appeared to protect them as the torrent of water got sucked inside of the mirrors and redirected that attack towards the Horseman of Pestilence. The Horseman of Pestilence did not expect that kind of attack, but Adrian only smiled as he dealt great damage against another enemy.
"Make sure that you guys just continue. I will be here to support you." Adrian stated as they did not expect the support that he was talking about was this.
They thought that he would be using support skills and such which he does as he uses Chrono Shift on them but those that knew Adrian just chuckled. His friends know that such a battle junkie would not really restrict himself with a supporting role when he could manipulate the whole battlefield to his whims. A form that could masterfully manipulate the battlefield and that is the Mirror stance.
"Let us make sure that we cover the whole battlefield though. Aetheros True Form!" Adrian stated as his body suddenly crystallized.
Adrian suddenly grew larger as the Aether Dust solidified his body. His form grew as large as ten meters, and he looked like a godly being that descended into the world. His body would shine like precious stone and a huge mandala would appear behind him as if to say that he has become one with world as he is the being that became one with life.
Since Adrian was in his Mirror Stance, the four floating hands looked like it was made of precious stone. His blindfold turned into a full helmet that covered his eyes and converged with his horns. He also created a thick layer of Aether Dust below his feet which made him look like he is standing on a cloud made of Aether Dust.
It is not just Adrian that changed in form as his soulbounds that he summoned changed as well. Sirius changed from a furry wolf to a wolf that had obsidian crystals as fur and red ruby eyes. Kanlaon changed to look like a golden dragon made of gems as he glistened in the sunlight. Charon changed to an undead to a gem armored Lifeless Lord as he managed to get covered with armor.
