Chapter 1098

[Your body is being filled with a strange miasma.]

[Your body's regeneration has been stopped momentarily.]

[You have negated instant death.]

[You cannot use mana because the strange miasma has also affected your Netheros Core.]

Adrian could not feel his body anymore as he has lost all senses. He could not even see clearly as the most important part of his body which is his demon core is tainted with miasma. The demon core is a lifeline of the Daemos and it being corrupted by a strange miasma is something that should not happen.

"Is this how I die?" Adrian muttered as he knows that he cannot escape the grasps of the Horseman of Death.

Adrian is already blacking out as this is happening and he is even in a worse state as the Mirror Demon Form is not great for frontal confrontations. He is also not in a good position as the Horseman of Death can travel to any position using its third skill that sends mirages to all enemies in its territory. They did not know that the Horseman of Death could even do such a thing as that has never happened in any of the broadcasts.

[Your Netheros Core has been overwhelmed by strange miasma.]

[Your body is now shutting down because of the strange miasma.]

'.',

[You have negated instant death.]

Adrian could no longer see what is happening in front of him, but he is hearing the shouts of his team members. When he thought that he would die, a sharp cut suddenly sounded near him, and a thud could be heard. He did not know that his body actually dropped down on the ground and healing magic pouring into his body.

[Your body is tainted by too much strange miasma.]

[You cannot be healed by any healing magic.]

[The strange miasma is eating away at your life force that is being regenerated.]

Adrian could not see or hear anything anymore as he just laid down on the ground. Anastacia and Levin Cloud are doing their best to heal him, but they cannot bring his health back to full. His life is clinging to that 1% health and even the execution effect of the Horseman of Death's skills is not affecting him for some weird reason.

Vayu saw that Adrian could not move from being in the grasps of the Horseman of Death. He needed to do something as Adrian is mostly the one that kept them alive thanks to his great control of the battlefield. He did not care if the Horseman of Death is almost back to full health because of the energy it is siphoning out of Adrian's body, but they need him back.

Others tried to launch spells at the Horseman of Death, but it had a weird barrier that absorbed all the damage. They then concluded that the barrier is from the damage that they have received when all of the mirages it released attacked all of them. Its health is being restored as well but it is still in the 50% range.

"Storm King Descent!" Vayu stated as he sacrificed 50% of his health immediately.

A sharp blue bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky as Vayu's form suddenly changed. His whole outfit that freely fluttered in the wind suddenly became made of harsh lightning sparks. His sword is glowing in this energy as well while his hair looked like he entered a power up mode as it became spikes.

"Storm King Stance: Swift Maelstrom!" Vayu stated.

Vayu's body that is filled with intense amount of lightning element, which is the most advance form of wind element, suddenly vanished from his spot. He appeared in the air after one second and the large dark clouds in the sky vanished as if he cut it as well. As if he moved faster than the speed of light, his cut still left an afterimage.

When everyone thought that Vayu's attack was useless as they only saw the afterimage on the barrier, they are all shocked to see that he sliced the barrier cleanly and even the arm of the Horseman of Death that is choking Adrian. The arm that got cleanly sliced off fell to the ground along with Adrian.

Everyone thought that the Horseman of Death would retaliate but it did not. Rather, the Horseman of Death performed a magic circle that created a barrier around it. It then used the energy that it has gathered from all the players to recreate the magic circle that they have destroyed before.

When Adrian's support is no longer present, a different type of support suddenly appeared for them. The combined forces of the northern continent have finally arrived but that also meant that they Horseman of Death will likely become much harder to deal with since they have an army in their hands.

The army of the Ice Queen Elona has arrived with the other nomadic tribes. Elona empowered all her army by creating a layer of frost in their bodies as well as enchanting their weapons. When she was done, she immediately came to Adrian's location as she has seen that his condition is not great.

She came in a hurry as the Great Star Gazer has warned her that the north will succumb to death if she does not go immediately. The Great Star Gazer fainted promptly after giving her the revelation as she has interfered with casualty too much. She is expected to be asleep for two months because of what she has done.

"It seems that a foreign substance is currently eating him alive but keeping him alive as well. In order to save him, we must either purge everything in his body or kill the source." The Ice Queen Elona stated.

"We have found what the magic circle says!" Crystal reported to the group.

Crystal then clearly stated what the War Mothers have been transcribing for the past hour. The magic circle is related to summoning something from the pits of Hell. They cannot clearly understand the writing, but it is related to a being of Revelation. Whatever it is, if the Horseman of Death is summoning it then it is immediately bad news.

"We must stop it at all costs. It now has enough energy to power it up." Crystal stated as the energy gathered from the life force of all affected people earlier will be enough to summon that thing.

"Your majesty! We cannot break through the barrier that the Horseman of Death has created." One of the close guards of the Ice Queen Elona stated.

"I shall do it myself then." The Ice Queen Elona stated as she suddenly floated to the sky with her eyes glowing in an icy blue light.

The Ice Queen Elona kept mumbling incoherent words as she recited the spell in its true runic language. She is one of the best spell casters in the world because she uses the true runic language instead of the watered-down version that most spell casters use today. With her great mana, the ice in the surroundings started to gather to her.

Even the surroundings felt less cold as she has gathered that as well. It did not even take five seconds for her to suddenly conjure up a huge sword made of ice that looked stronger than steel. She made gesture with her wand and the large ice sword suddenly descended on the barrier of the Horseman of Death.

The giant ice sword and the barrier collided with each other and emitted aa powerful shockwave that blew away those near it. Clear white mist is emitted by the clash of two abilities, but they did not celebrate because the barrier created by the Horseman of Death did not shatter from the impact of the powerful spell that the Ice Queen Elona did.

The army under the Ice Queen Elona is shocked as this is the first time that they saw their queen's spell not destroying the enemy. She always destroys her enemy when she uses her full power, and that attack is also her full power.

The raid party thought that they will get the upper hand as they know of the Ice Queen Elona as she is very famous in the north. The fact that her spell could not break the barrier created by the Horseman of Death is something that even they did not expect. They only realized what happened when they noticed that the Horseman of Death's territory suddenly shrunk.

"It shrunk its territory to enhance its barrier. It is definitely not normal. I think this raid will be a failure." Faust stated as he weighed the odds and eve calculated the statistics.

"Vayu could just use the skill that he used earlier to cut the protective barrier on the Horseman of Death. We can win with that." Ain pointed out but Vayu shook his head.

"The cooldown of that skill is one week. It is also scary to think that the raid boss actually evaded my attack earlier. I was aiming for its neck not the arm." Vayu pointe out which casted a shadow of fear to all of them.
