Chapter 1074

While the world is going nuts on all of the sudden notifications, Adrian and his friends are wondering on the identities of those that defeated Eldritch. Even Adrian did not know how that demon masked player defeated Eldritch, but he could guess that he had a skill that made casting things useless.

Adrian shuddered upon the fact that there is a skill out there that could shut down his entire being. His soulbounds could still be summoned though as they are connected to his soul, but all his magic and abilities will be restricted. If that happened, then he will not be able to revive despite having the skill.

"They are from the eastern continent, right? I do not know all of the happenings in the eastern continent but the way you described his fighting style is familiar. The recording is a bit difficult to see because all of you are not seeing clearly but his martial arts is similar to Chiyou." Peridot stated as she has read on the prominent gods of the eastern continent.

Peridot then explained that Chiyou was once a mortal and is actually one of the founders of the eastern continent. His legends live on and was created before the divine beasts have existed. She also told them that he ascended as a God of War and his martial arts was famous for severely restricting his opponents.

"No wonder Eldritch suddenly pulled out a sword despite his main weapon being a staff. He also did not use spells in that battle which means he really did get restricted." Levin Cloud reacted.

"That is not the most bothersome part because Eldritch is known to have a quasi-revival skill. It is a revival skill that lets him be alive for another hour and also fully revives him when he kills a powerful being in that hour." Creepysoo stated.

"How come you know about that?" Lycan asked.

"It is a topic in a forum. Even some of you have information in that forum but some are just speculations. Do not worry because I did not leak any secret skill or ability you guys might have. I only read that forum because it is also somewhat accurate." Creepysoo stated as a defense for his comment.

"It is no time to worry about what has happened but if you three did not hide all throughout the fight then you might have a chance to get the heart." Peridot stated.

"Ouch!" Adrian replied.

"It is true, but their arrival is also unexpected. If they arrived normally then Sirius would have surely got wind of their existence. It felt as if their existence was erased from the world, and they just suddenly appeared." Vayu stated.

"They might have used a god's relic. Only relics that powerful could avoid detection but the fact that someone has a relic in their disposal is scary. Relics often have egos attached to them which makes them difficult to use." Adrian added.

"God relic or whatever. We were too late and now we need to shift our focus on the Horsemen of Death. The Church of Light is organizing a Holy Crusade because their goddess told them to. How about the Twin Gods? Any news from them?" Solstice stated.

"Nothing really. They are just saying the usual things like 'Do your best' or 'We are proud of you'." Levin Cloud replied.

"What are you? An Envoy or their son?" Solstice stated with a complex reaction.

"The Twin Gods are busy since they do not just look out for the main world but also the other worlds that have fragmented from this one. They are the ones that handle life and death after all and missing a day in their job is not easy." Adrian replied as gods have duties to maintain the balance of the world they are assigned to.

"Since we still have eight more days before the proposed time of the raid, what are all of you going to do?" Levin Cloud stated as they thought they will use the ten days to hunt down Eldritch.

"Might as well finish some of the quests." Creepysoo stated as he needs to finish some tasks to get more skills. In fact, he might have the chance to evolve already but it seems he is still missing something.

'',

"We shall finish off some tasks as well." Solstice and Lycan stated as they needed to see the shaky allegiance of the werewolves and the vampires.

"We shall head off to Alfheim as well to polish our skills for the raid." Vayu stated and Soleil agreed.

"I am heading to the Wilde and see if I can get more exclusive skills." Kabrakan stated.

"I think I will remain here in the central continent for the time being. It seems I am being hunted down in the eastern continent which is why I should be safe here. The Ryujins are also in their hibernation state right now, so the mountain is closed off." Peridot stated.

"Why not come with me to Alfheim then? I need to practice using my new form." Levin Cloud stated and Peridot agreed.

"What about you, lil bro?" Solstice asked.

"I am going to use that map and see what Svartalfheim is." Adrian stated as he would use the remaining days to explore that place." Adrian replied and all of them split up for the time being.

Before Adrian went to Svartalfheim, he visited Pann as he wanted to see the state of his egg that he planted on the ground. When he entered the farm, he noticed an odd plant that has a fruit that is three feet tall. Adrian is a bit dumbfounded as this is the location of the egg that he planted.

"Why are you surprised? You planted it so the only natural thing for it is to bloom and make fruit. I would not touch the fruit if I were you as it is close to hatching. You need more life energy to fuel it though. The water from the small spring near the tree of life and death is helping it greatly. Come back in seven days and it might hatch." Pann stated and Adrian agreed.

Adrian touched the fruit gently and even spoke to it. He even summoned his other soulbounds so that they can introduce themselves to their soon to be sibling. The other soulbounds seemed to be happy despite some of them not being able to show emotion. Dodu just jiggled his body while Charon seems to be a bit shy touching the fruit in fear of him transferring his energy to it.

"We will be back!" Adrian stated as he tore up the map and he vanished from his position. He did not see that the fruit jiggled a bit as if to say that it will anticipate his return.

When Eldritch revived, he made a mess of the place as he did not expect to be beaten with such a method. In fact, he did not consider it as a defeat because he was not even able to fight back. He finds that kind of victory kind of tasteless as he did not enjoy making the other party suffer.

Since he was still in the eastern continent when he revived, he wreaks havoc in a nearby town to make a statement. He did not target the places where the divine beasts ruled but he did target a nearby town that is ran by an immortal.

'

He knew that the demon masked player that he fought did not have the energy of the either one of the four divine beasts. It would be troublesome if he were to incur their wrath when he is not strong enough to fight them yet. The only plausible thought is that it was the Immortals that dared to steal the Heart of War.

The followers of the dark gods have also spread throughout the eastern continent, but the eastern followers tend to hide in the shadow of society. The eastern followers of the dark gods do not like to openly hold rituals or such, but they rather manipulate through careful plannings. It also means that they have a vast information network, and they have a great grasp at things in the east.

Eldritch' hunch is correct in assuming that it was a faction from the Immortals of the east continent that attacked him. It seems that they are planning something in the east as they attacked prominent figures. They even dared attack the Ryujin Princess but are still safe because the other Ryujins are in hibernation.

Eldritch wanted to know the organization that the demon masked player belonged to but even the eastern branch of the followers of the dark gods do not know what they are called. They only know that they are like them that is maneuvering in the shadows. This is the first time since they have moved but they also made a big commotion.

When they offered the Heart of War to their god, a giant hand came out from the clouds and picked it up.
