Chapter 867 - Energy Diffusion

[You have died.]

Adrian read the notification and immediately started his revival process. He did not expect that a powerful attack could be delivered that fast. Usually, attacks that can immediately kill a player would be slow. Then again, he is not fully focused when he got hit by the laser beam of death.

Adrian noticed that the Hexadrom had a small opening when it was gathering energy in one of its corners. The hole created was small, but Adrian knew that was an opening an all he needed to do is wait for the time it enlarges. He kept the image that the spear is attacking the barrier when it is actually getting near the hole in the barrier.

Adrian did not need to act in front of the Hexadrom as it was not a mechanical monster that can read emotions. He just needed to make sure that the AI of the Hexadrom is not smart enough to predict what he is going to do. If the AI in the Hexadrom is the same AI as the one in the Cube of Paradox, then this battle is already a lost cause.

After about a minute of the Hexadrom accumulating and processing mana in its core, it started to slowly enlarge the hole in the barrier. Adrian did not forget his chance and immediately willed his spear to hit the area where the barrier opened.

Adrian even used his Chrono Shift to increase the rotation speed and flight speed of the spear to inflict as much damage. He also channeled all of his Primordial Energy that he managed to accumulate from hitting the Hexadrom. The spear basically increased in power by twice and the rotation helped in penetrating the armor of the Hexadrom.

Adrian managed to see that his spear managed to damage the Hexadrom by some degree. He could even see that his spear is stuck and could not rotate because it is firmly placed on the metallic body of the Hexadrom. This result is only possible because Adrian decided to dodge at the last minute, but he failed.

The beam of light that the Hexadrom released is basically wider than he thought. Blink can transport him in any area within a ten-meter radius. The beam that the Hexadrom released is about thirty meters in diameter which means Adrian will undoubtedly get hit even if he used Blink.

He cannot use Teleport because that has a cast time, and the beam would hit him immediately since it travels using the speed of light. Still, Adrian tried to escape and used Blink as he thought that the edges of the beam of light could not be as powerful as the very center.

Thinking that he could tank the attack of a boss monster much powerful than him, he accepted the damage at the edge of the beam trajectory. With that conclusion, he also ate the attack like a champ only to become a fool. He died from the attack because the beam is actually a damage per second attack that decreased his health by 50%.

Adrian died in under two seconds, but he managed to damage the Hexadrom by a large degree. He checked the health of the Hexadrom to be sure and noticed that he did sizeable damage to a boss monster.

--------

Monster: Hexadrom (Boss Monster)

Level: 210

Health: 94%

Energy Level: 84.92%

--------

The health of the Hexadrom decreased by 5% and the energy level decreased by 5% as well. The beam attack used a lot of mana from it but it only 5% of its energy. Adrian died knowing that he no has a chance to decrease the health of the Hexadrom.

The corner that fired the beam could be seen releasing sparks as its body is damaged. The damaged area even failed to light up which means that the Hexadrom cannot divert mana perfectly using that point.

When Adrian revived, he had a happy expression as he only needed to prepare Teleportation just in case, he cannot escape using Blink. That smile faded when a green light covered the body of the Hexadrom. A few seconds later, the Hexadrom part that was damaged became perfectly fine as if it got repaired in an instant.

Adrian then read the information that Solstice raised of the Hexaminis recovering from damage. The upside to that news is the heavy drop in energy level of the Hexaminis. With the information that he received, Adrian checked the Hexadrom once more and is shocked.

--------

Monster: Hexadrom (Boss Monster)

Level: 210

Health: 100%

Energy Level: 70%

--------

The health of the Hexadrom recovered back to full but the energy level dropped by a significant amount. The plan that he thought needed to be changed as the things needed to drastically drop the energy level is to damage the body of the Hexadrom and the Hexaminis.

"Just 20% more and the barrier will go down." Adrian muttered.

As he thought of a way to damage the Hexadrom, the bluish light that flickered in the center of the Hexadrom suddenly changed in color. It went from blue to a deep yellow and it also became the same for the Hexaminis as Solstice shouted that the color of the light changed once again.

Adrian needed to summon another weapon as the spear was unsummoned when he died. He decided to choose the unconventional one as he is a bit on the edge if this weapon will affect the Hexadrom.

"Paradox, Summon Primordial Armament: Scythe." Adrian commanded as the scythe appeared on his hand and his form changed.

As soon as Adrian changed form, the Hexadrom suddenly released beams of light from every corner point. The Hexadrom released twelve beams of light, but it was not as wide as the intense beam of light that killed Adrian.

The beams of light only measured about one meter in diameter which means they could evade it as long as they are in a perfect position.. The beam of light is one meter thick and about fifty meter long and is fired in a continuous rate.
