Creepysoo looked horrified as Voodoo Marie got killed immediately after being summoned by him. He did not think that something like that will happen but then he noticed that she canceled the effects of a skill that affected all of them. She would have been fine if the spell she canceled only afflicted one individual, but she protected the whole raid party that numbered less than fifty.
"I shall avenge you! Everyone! Go and attack!" Creepysoo stated as he used all of his undead knights to charge towards the Horseman of Death.
"Seriously! That guy needs to chill out. Primordial Armament: Mirror!" Adrian stated as his form suddenly changed to that of a blindfolded demon with tow pairs of floating arms.
He immediately scattered a lot of mirrors in the battlefield as he knew that avoiding a hit from the Horseman of Death is optimal. Any hit from it could lead to instant death or could inflict a great weakening curse.
When Adrian has sight of all the battlefield, he then created a mirror to be sent to the area of the raid party. When the mirror floated near them, they did not know what to do but Adrian's team members knew what needs to be done. They entered the mirror and the others soon followed.
"Sirius, keep that bone rider busy. Make sure to not get hit by that scythe. Kanlaon use your Genesis Dragon Breath!" Adrian stated as the dark clouds above suddenly parted as a golden beam of light suddenly headed for the Horseman of Death.
The Horseman of Death reacted quickly to the golden beam of light as its eye sockets suddenly burned in a ghoulish silver flame. The golden dragon breath that should have dealt great damage did nothing as the Horseman of Death is unscathed. The Horseman of Death once again showed another ability and this time it avoided damage from any magical source.
Siegfried did not miss this chance though as if his intuition activated when he saw that the Horseman of Death glowed in a ghoulish silver flame. Siegfried attacked the Horseman of Death and he actually dealt two times the physical damage with additional damage since his weapon has been blessed with holy light.
Faust needed some confirmation of this phenomenon which is why he used his Greater Spirit Salamander to release any type of fire attack on the Horseman of Death. Just like he surmised, the elemental damage did not take effect when fireballs hit the raid boss. To even certify that he is correct, Faust commanded the archers to use physical damaging arrows.
'
When the arrows hit the Horseman of Death, the damage the arrows dealt got doubled as well. With this information, Faust immediately nodded his head and told the raid party of the characteristics of the flames burning inside the eye sockets of the Horseman of Death.
Since Faust has said so, the players immediately agreed with him and used physical damage instead. When the Horseman of Death parried Siegfried's giant axe and sent him flying away with Ain, the flames inside the skull of the Horseman of Death suddenly glowed in a reddish flame. The arrows raining down on the Horseman of Death all passed through its body as if it is immune to them.
The Horseman of Death is no longer waiting to be on the offensive as its bloodlust climbed to greater levels. It then swung its scythe in the direction of the support and range carries of the raid party. The others could not even react as the attack is suddenly.
All of the players that were inside the territory of the Horseman of Death suddenly felt pain in their bodies as if it got cut by half. What followed next is the most troublesome part.
[You have resisted being executed.]
[A party member has been executed by the Horseman of Death.]
[A party member has been executed by the Horseman of Death.]
[A party member has been executed by the Horseman of Death.]
[A party member has been executed by the Horseman of Death.]
A total of four people got instant killed because of an execution effect. Anastacia tried to revive them using her wide revive spell called Mass Resurrection, but she received a notification saying that they cannot be revived because their soul has been collected by the Horseman of Death.
[Cannot revive the party member because the party member's soul has been collected by the Horseman of Death.]
[In order to revive the chosen party member, retrieve their souls from the Horseman of Death.]
"I cannot revive them. The Horseman of Death has collected their souls. We need to retrieve them in order to revive them." Anastacia stated as one of those that got instantly killed is Mariposa.
"We no longer need to waste time. We must pummel it as fast as we can because we will all die if we ran out of stamina." Levin Cloud stated via the chat.
He then prayed to the skies as a seed from the heavens dropped down to visit them. The tree of life and death, Yewdrassil, has descended to the world. The players are relieved when they saw that the tree of life and death has been summoned but they are not the only ones that liked it.
The moment the eyes of the Horseman of Death landed on the tree of life and death, it shuddered as the tree of life and death is filled with immense life energy. If it could get that life energy, then it would be able to complete the ritual it was doing earlier without even needing the souls that it has captured.
With the Tree of Life and Death near them, the front-line players all became empowered, and they would no longer lose health per second when inside the territory of the Horseman of Death as it also became the territory of the raid group.

"Its scythe is missing!" Adrian suddenly shouted as the scythe of the Horseman of Death vanished from its hands.
