Chapter 996

With the help of the Cube of Paradox, Adrian created five Quantum Spacemines and used the explosion to push the spear. He also continuously poured all of the nether energy that he has, and the barrier started to get breached as its property is slowly being corroded by his nether energy.

"Greater Summon: Kimat! Slam onto the barrier with your Silver Thunder Armor." Adrian commanded as Kimat got hit by lighting that came from the sky as a silver armor coated his body.

With Kimat's aide in the attack, the power that they could muster made the mages lose more mana than they anticipated. In fact, the royal wizard did not use as much mana as she could because she needed to spare some just in case the intruder in front of them manages to break through. This selfishness proved to be almost fatal to the other mages as their mana circuits got damaged due to overuse.

The mages fell one by one due to their mana not being circulated properly. Adrian frowned as his Perfect Assimilation does not last long and even his Netheros form as well. He decided to not keep up a front that he cannot enter because of the barrier. He did not enter the barrier because he needed the attention of the others, but his team members are already inside, so he did not need to play the part.

Adrian disappeared in a puff of nether mist and the mages that protected the barrier became shocked because the intruder vanished. The mages did not dare to slack as the intruder must be waiting for a chance to enter the barrier, but a puff of nether mist suddenly appeared behind the royal wizard.

Since the detection barrier covering the capital is deployed by the royal wizard, she could immediately sense those that did not enter using the proper means. She reflexively raised a barrier behind her as Adrian launched the spear at her with the intention of fatally wounding her.

Adrian knew that she must be the target because her mana is the same color as that of the barrier. When the spear hit the royal wizard, she got pushed back and became a bit disoriented from the attack. The barrier covering the kingdom flicked a little as a result of the attack which further solidified Adrian's guess.

The royal wizard then found it strange that the being in front of them could have easily entered the kingdom but chose a roundabout way to enter. If it could just enter like that, why did it try to forcefully destroy the barrier. The royal wizard suddenly felt something amiss and told the mages to stop Adrian while she goes to protect the king.

Kimat, on the other hand, landed on the ground with a great loud crash but still not that harmed. He got surrounded by the soldiers of the kingdom, but Adrian told him to lure them away the designated area. Adrian does not want them to be anywhere near the extraction point.

Just as Adrian is checking up on Kimat's status, the royal wizard tried to escape towards the castle, but Adrian used Quantum Cascade already to pull her back. He then finally used the last skill on his transformation as he collected all the nether energy in the surroundings so that he could create an explosion.

All the mages could feel that the strange but powerful energy in the surroundings is starting to shatter space itself. The royal wizard knew that they will not be able to survive fully if they get hit by that. She immediately crushed something from the bag on her waist and her mana completely recovered back to full.

The Royal Wizard then started to weave numerous barriers to create layers of security. She even instructed the mages that could still fly to pour all their mana to her. The mages did as they were instructed, and the royal wizard managed to create ten barriers of differing colors to protect them.

A great explosion of energy suddenly shook the space above but the mages that were protected are left unscathed. Adrian did destroy about eight barriers while the ninth is almost at the point of breaking. It seems that the tenth barrier is sturdier than he ever thought but the mages he is battling already has no mana.

Adrian commanded his spear once more as it continuously tried to attack the mages. He wanted to initiate a skill, but his Primordial Essence is not filling fast enough. It seems his Primordial Essence will not fill up if he just damages barriers instead of actual enemies. He is still buying time which is why he did not bother making a huge attack.

"Master! Help!" Kimat's voice sounded as he is now cornered by not just the knights of the kingdom but also the players.

He did not expect that so many players would help this kingdom as he read that the king would never give a title to a player despite them having great contributions. He knew that players that could not become nobles tend to leave that kingdom alone as they wanted their efforts to mean something.

"Limit Break: Summoner!" Adrian stated as he used the level 200 summoner skill that lets the summoner use all his or her soulbounds for a given duration.

"Greater Summon: Charon"

"Greater Summon: Dodu"

"Greater Summon: Saena"

Adrian could not summon Sirius yet as he needed to rest a little bit as the Perfect Assimilation skill takes a toll on both the summoner and the soulbound. All of his soulbounds landed on the ground and supported Kimat that is now using Metallic Copy to create a copy of itself.

When the players saw the other soulbounds, they are now sure that it is the Demon. They are now extremely confused because the Demon known as Equinox only attacks the followers of the dark gods. They did not expect him to attack a kingdom that barely had any interaction with a player. The players then thought that maybe a dark god is hiding in this kingdom.
