Chapter 319: A Demon Descends

The players who saw the angel and the devil dying immediately rushed to the scene. It seems that it was not only the party that was killed that is interested in the angel and devil fight. They rushed like hungry hounds to the potential legendary or mythical tier loot.

"It is free real estate!" Some of the players shouted which made others jump on the loot as well.

About a thousand players charged towards the area trying to loot the drops instead of marching with the imperial soldiers. All types of players ran towards the loot as they knew that the drops from two powerhouses will not be chump change.

The commanders of the imperial army could not really stop them because they were only hired as mercenaries. The imperial army mostly hired the players because they are more expendable than their own troops. It might be a grim reality but even players are not really gladly welcomed in the empire once their identity as a cursed child is known.

The empire also label players as a cursed child because of the fact that they never truly die but instead get revived as a weaker version of themselves. Some might call it a blessing but for the inhabitants of Pandemonium it is a curse. The curse of never truly knowing peace as they could never die.

They would suffer the fate of dying continuously due to their lack of skill and experience. The players are called cursed children because of the fact that dying continuously and reviving just to relive the experience is viewed as a torture for the people of Pandemonium. Just the thought of dying continuously is scary for those afraid of death.

Adrian also started to descend but he already sent someone to secure the loot when the Holy Sanctuary Domain ended. He already sent Charon to wait below the ground so that it will pick up the loot before the players could even try to get to it. Adrian just hope that Charon would not eat the corpse if the bones of the undead demigod dropped.

Adrian is descending leisurely as he did not want to suddenly get targeted from the air like a flying duck. He did see something interesting when he landed as a part of the field suddenly turned into a snowy area.

"It seems that even Gefroren's successor is also participating in this war. She did get news coverage in PademoNews. She even got interviewed on what the tests were and she even bragged about how flawless she passed them. She did come from the big guild Valor so she is well protected. If I remember correctly then her name is Snow." Adrian muttered as he descended.

"Anyone who snatches up that loot will be an enemy of the Valor Guild. We will remember your name and hunt you down." Snow shouted for all to hear but they were not listening.

The other players did not listen because who in their right mind would. A potential legendary if not mythical item is up for grabs so why would they listen. It is first come first serve and only the lucky one would get to have the treasure in the end.

"Why do I get the jitters seeing them squirm trying to get a prize that they could claim?" Adrian thought but then he shivered at the thought that he is transforming into his sister.

"Do not tell me that she has finally transformed me into becoming like her. I knew that your environment changes you but I do not want to become a tigress like her. I might develop strange tastes if this continues." Adrian muttered as he descended faster because he saw someone diving towards the loot.

Adrian even used one of the charges of his Blink skill because something bugged him with the player charging towards a loot. The hand of that player seemed to be glowing and Adrian got a hunch that he could actually steal the loot even if Adrian has ownership of the loot for the first hour.

"I am not going to make it in time. Sirius, take care of the robber will you?" Adrian ordered and Sirius who is in his puppy form jumped from the air then dissolved into shadows.

Sirius emerged from the shadows of the player and pinned him down immediately. The player tried struggling but his strength is not on par with Sirius' strength. The player threw poisoned knives towards Sirius but he used his shadows to flick the poisoned knives away.

The players that saw Sirius immediately had their guards up because they thought that it was from an item that summoned a monster that the player in front of them accidentally unleashed. Sirius did quick work of the thief because of the player's low health pool. Sirius then emitted a howl to intimidate other players from getting the loot.

Sirius' appearance did not deter much of the player but instead made them wary. Many of them even used their inspect skill to see Sirius' stats and was surprised because another's name is beside the demon wolf's name.

Name: Sirius (Equinox)

Players knew that if another name that is in enclosed in a parenthesis is next to a monster's name then it is from a summoner. They tried to look for the summoner as soulbounds could not stray that far away from their masters. One player then pointed out that someone is descending from the skies. All eyes immediately looked towards the descending figure and Adrian immediately got nervous because he got so many eyes watching him.

"Is this what being famous feels like? I should flash a cool looking face." Adrian told himself as he used his 'great' acting skills to look cool while descending.

Fortunately for Adrian, the distance between him and the players were quite far or else they would see his face that looks like someone having constipation. Players with good eyesight did see his face though yet they were not that caught up with his face but with his overall look.

"A demon!" All the players muttered as they saw Adrian's horns, skin tone and wings.
