Chapter 554: Death of an Overlord I

All allies that heard this tapping sound became calm and composed. The enemies that heard this looked distressed and disturbed by the tapping sound that baron Samedi made. The coffin cover then opened with a loud thud as it sucked every tormented soul in the vicinity like a vortex for over five minutes.

The vortex that is inside of the coffin is swallowing the army that the world boss has spawned. The souls of the ones devoured could not resist the pull that the vortex used. The vortex that sucked all the souls for about five minutes, but the number is too numerous.

The vortex of the coffin sucked Baron Samedi last as that is also the end of the transformation. Fenris did not stay idle while this is happening as the three overlords are in combat with the world boss. They could no longer easily fend off the world boss as long as an endless array of enemies are attacking them too.

The coffin swallowed Baron Samedi and spit out Creeysoo in the process. The great thing for him is that the buff that Baron Samedi used has yet to dissipate for his undead knights. He decided to join the battle once more by trying to apply debuffs to the world boss while his undead knights killed the soul army that Fenris summoned.

Peridot is the same as Creepysoo but she buffed the others by increasing their elemental affinity if they have the elements that she could control perfectly. She could buff Vayu, Soleil and Levin Cloud since each of them have a respective element. 

She also cleared the souls that attacked her by using their opposing elemental attribute. She might be a Ryujin but that does not mean that her stamina is endless. She could be seen breathing heavily as her skills are now taking a toll on her body.

Vayu glided like he is walking on air in the battlefield as he assisted the Storm Vulture with attacking the world boss. He would randomly summon small twisters with his attacks which greatly diminished the number of elemental souls in the battlefield. Fenris might have quantity in his favor now, but the quality is subpar.

Soleil did her best in killing off the fire elemental souls that spawned. Unlike her father that excelled in attacking, she has gained a peculiar ability from one of the Fire Elemental Kings due to her kind heart. She managed to gain the ability to eat the fire element around her which would invalidate fire attribute damage against her as well since her body is now fully resistant to it.

Lycan, who is now feeling the effects of the domain that the Lunari Fenrir summoned, is doing quick work of the elemental souls. His empowered attacks are so strong due to the buff during night but also the presence of the Lunari Fenrir. 

He seemed to have gotten a hidden buff that made his stats soar. He also could feel that his control of his transformation seems to have gotten better to some extent. He usually has difficulty controlling himself if the battle prolonged and night is at its peak.

The Grand Toad would use its masterful control of the earth and water element to slow down the world boss, but his attacks are barely doing any damage as the souls would block his attacks. The Storm Vulture did not fare any different as her close-range attacks might be doing decent damage, but she is also getting damaged herself.

The one who is having the biggest contribution to the fight is the Lunari Fenrir as she and Sirius teamed up to support the others using their shadows. They would interject whenever the world boss will deal a lethal hit upon their comrades.

One of such intervention included the sudden creation of a shadow blade to attack the neck of the world boss. Fenris would dodge this attack thereby missing his current target. This only made the anger of the world boss worse, but he could not easily stop them. 

Fenris eagerly waited for the domains of the others to stop working. The one person that Fenris is most displeased about is Levin Cloud. His timely heals and quick assists made the team increase their survivability. He could be described as a god level support player due to his great reflexes and judgement.

[You have exited the pocket dimension of the Sacred Snake.]

From the misty veil that covered the land, Adrian suddenly materialized out of nowhere. He also got restored to full health and mana with his stamina restored to about 80%. It seems that the Sacred Snake not only saved him but also restored all the essentials that he needs in order to fight the world boss.

Adrian finally arrived back to the battlefield. The sentiment of the Sacred Snake resonated with Adrian as he is not fighting alone. He just wishes that they could kill the world boss without worries. The beastkin royal knights are contributing less to the battle now since they have to take care of their wounded and exhausted king.

King Leonidas pushed himself to the extreme, but he was able to give great contributions. The battered and exhausted sight of the King of the Selvaggian race could only be seen as pitiful. He gave it his all and now he paid the price since he can no longer move. 

King Leonidas finds it shameful that he is relying on his knights for protection against measly enemies like the elemental monsters. The royal knights could still move but the pain that their boy is expressing should not be undermined. They could only move like that due to the timely assist of Saena and Charon.

The hits that the beastkin royal knights could not tank is tanked by the shields that Charon is deploying. The healing that they receive that lets them fight until their last breath is given by Saena. If they cannot handle the number of enemies, Kimat would use its clones to disable them by altering their elemental bodies with its lightning.

"I need to get serious. Nether Domain." Adrian stated as the nether mist started to crawl into the battlefield.

The nether mist spread faster than before thanks to the presence of Yewdrassil. Not only that but the resonance with the two skills became apparent as a hidden interaction occurred. The nether mist covered the tree of life and death and replaced the empty leaves of the dead side of the tree with the tri-colored mist.

[The duration of the Nether Domain will increase until Yewdrassil is standing in the battlefield.]

[All enemies in the area are affected by Paranoia.]

The souls that the world boss devoured then screamed in agony due to the effect that the nether mist has on them. Each of the souls are getting hurt just by being in the area of the nether mist. Even Fenris got chills upon getting in contact with the nether mist, but he did not get damaged unlike the soul army that he summoned.

Fenris seeing the drastic change in the battlefield could no longer contain his rage much longer. The world boss started to grow bigger than before as everyone could see that the wolf's body is increasing. After increasing for about a quarter of its current size, the runes on the chains reacted even more and glowed.

The world boss became injured because of his reckless action. Fenris is now as big as a small mountain which made him twice the size of the current Kanlaon. He could easily devour his opponents with his current size. The runes on the chain are burning his skin due to curse placed upon it.

"I shall first deal with the greatest nuisance." Fenris stated as he charged towards Levin Cloud will clouded in his unsightly aura.

Levin Cloud saw what the world boss is attempting and activated Sanctuary on himself. When the world boss rammed against Levin Cloud, the invincibility effect of Sanctuary kicked in, but he is still sent flying.  The one that greeted the jaws of the world boss is now Levin Cloud.

Thankfully, the direction that Levin Cloud got sent flying is near Charon's. Adrian immediately commanded Charon to use Soul Prison on Levin Cloud to save him from getting eaten. Charon maned to save Levin Cloud but now the animosity is directed towards the Lifeless Lord.

"Use Incorporeal!" Adrian commanded via their soul link.

Charon's body turned into his spirit form, but the claws of the world boss is coated with magic. Charon got sent flying and got reduced to 30% health with just one magical attack despite his large magical defense. This attack from Fenris did not continue again as the wolf could be seen growling from the pain of being bound.

"Sirius! Phantom Rush!" Adrian commanded as Sirius obeyed his command.

Sirius became free from the restrictions of time and space. Adrian particularly told him to attack the eyes of the world boss. As Sirius is in a frozen time, the claw of the world boss suddenly attacked him. Sirius is sent flying and immediately fell to the red bar.
