The Horseman of Death looked at Kabrakan dead in the eye and stared at him like a predator. Kabrakan felt a chill down his spine when he noticed this, but he is still in the process of breaking the barrier. Even the other vanguard members are helping him as well as they tried attacking the barrier to soften it up.
"Death Armor!" The Horseman of Death suddenly muttered which the vanguard players thought wrong.
A powerful force suddenly fell down on the Horseman of Death that even made the Ice Queen Elona shiver. This type of force is only something that she can feel for those that have strength that rivals that of gods. Everyone felt the shivers as well as some even fell on the ground as their legs could not summon strength.
Cracks beneath the ground could be seen as the magic circle on the ground activated. The magic circle spat out what looked like a pitch-black armor that is heavily adorned with skulls and spikes. It makes the armors of death knights look like babies.
The Three War Mothers saw the armor and are shocked because the emblem carved into the armor is that of the Mokesi Tribe. It has been passed down in their generation that it was an armor created by the Ice Elemental Kings for the Rider of the North. They wanted this armor back then when news of the Rider of the North falling in battle reached their ears, but it was never found.
The deadly looking armor slowly fused with the Horseman of Death as if it is part of its body. It is not only the Horseman of Death that got covered in armor but also its steed as well. The horse is covered in full dark metal armor and even created a spirit form to make it look like the armor is sticking to flesh instead of just floating in between the bones of the horse.
"Death has arrived!" The Horseman of Death suddenly announced as a powerful aura swept to all those near it.
The barrier that protected the Horseman of Death also broke from the impact of the aura. The vanguard team that was doing their best are suddenly sent flying. They did not expect that an aura of a being could be that powerful as some even died as a result. Fortunately for them, they were revived by Anastacia as their souls were not collected by the Horseman of Death.
[The Apocalypse has truly begun.]
[The Culling of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse has started.]
The loud world messages rung that shook the hearts of those that are currently playing. People that did not know of the world message are unsure if they needed to treat it with great importance but those that were in the path of the other two Horsemen of the Apocalypse learned the hard way.
Numerous reports of villages, towns and even kingdoms being destroyed by the Horsemen of the Apocalypse started flooding in. The casualty counts are already in the millions as the two horsemen are on their way to the north. What is even more disturbing is the fact that the magic circle created by the Horseman of Death did not disappear when it summoned the armor.
"The Call of Death!" The Horseman of Death as a strange miasma swept all through the north. All of the players and even the NPCs are all affected by this skill.
[You can no loner be revived by revival skills.]
"We are screwed!" Levin Cloud stated as reviving their allies is their ace in the hole.
"We will die anyway, so we might as well die trying." Vayu stated as he once again prepared a stance.
"Regulus! Do your best!" Soleil stated as Regulus transformed to its real size.
"You do not need to say that though as we all know it when the leader was taken down." Lycan stated as he fully transformed to that of a werewolf.
"That monster will pay with its death." Solstice stated as she started to gather all the blood that is shed in the battlefield under her control.
All the players and NPCs in the north are now locked in a sacrificial battle against the Horseman of Death. Their struggles are not just seen by them but also those that are watching the streams of the three guilds. Even those that are watching are hoping that they defeat the Horseman of Death as some have even died because of the Culling.
In the high clouds of the north, a group of twelve angels could be seen looking down on the things that are happening. They did not care no have a shred of guilt for the things that they have done as all of this is for the revival of their race. The ones leading these angels are none other than the angel Pristina.
"Your Excellency, the Culling has started, and the powers of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse have peaked. The barrier between dimensions have also softened up and it will not take long before we can forcefully open the gate to the Silver City." One of the angels stated.
"It is still not soft enough. We need the Dragon of Revelation to show up in order to weaken the barrier between dimensions. It will not take long now as the horn has been blown. To think that giving the humans information about the forbidden god slaying weapons would result a perfect situation such as this." Pristina stated as they were the ones that released the information about the god slaying weapons.
They knew that they needed something to make the dimensional locks softer. They tried using a dark god first, but the demons interfered. When the demons interfered, they knew that they needed a back up plan and that is for the Horsemen of the Apocalypse to be released. It was only their backup plan but to think it would be the one that succeeds and takes them a step closer to their goal.
