Before the Dragon of Revelation awakened…
The raid party against the Horseman of Death is doing its best despite the disappearance of Adrian from the battle. Sirius and Kanlaon being in their serious mode more than made up for the damage that they needed. Sirius is even more effective against the Horseman of Death because of the passive skill he has which is Poison of God.
The stacks of Poison of God made the stats of the Horseman of Death decrease when it reached to full which made the players deal great damage to it as well. The others that were having difficulty with avoiding attacks can now do so as long as it is not a skill that is direct damage. Kanlaon also made use of all the elements in the surroundings which made his passive skills shine.
Elemental attacks became very effective when Kanlaon boosted them as all his elemental dragon balls are scattered across the sky. Each Elemental Dragon ball boosted the damage of elemental attacks from allies by at most half which is incredible, but it does make Kanlaon become fatigued as he is pushing himself even more.
The tides are also in their favor as all of the main damage dealers have used all their powerful skills. Lycan, Solstice, Vayu, Soleil, Peridot, and Creepysoo even exhausted all their resources just to try and kill the Horseman of Death. They actually managed to decrease the health of the raid boss to 30% and is just one leg away from killing the Horseman of Death but betrayal at the last second is the most venomous snake.
Players that actually are part of the spies planted by the angels were present in the raid party. At first, they debated whether they should push forward with their decisions as they are close to killing the Horseman of Death. They have encountered the angels on one or two occasions which they are then given the right to become one of them.
One person from each of the three guilds were converted to the side of the angels. They are even given a SS difficulty quest to make sure that the so-called Dragon of Revelation will be summoned by the remaining three Horsemen of the Apocalypse. They did not know each other since they have secretly got the quest per individual, but their timing could not be more than just coincidence.
The three hidden players that have been enticed by the angels all used the spell given to them called Chains of Light when the players are about to deal a decisive blow on the Horseman of Death. In fact, it is not just the three of them that have activated it as other players fighting against the other horsemen used it as well.
"Why!" Ain asked as he knows that he treats everyone in his guild well. He gives chances to everyone equally. Even Siegfried and Anastacia had the same question as they personally know the players that betrayed them.
"It is nothing personal, but I am no longer satisfied with just being a follower. I am going to create my own glory even if I need to stomp others in the process." Ain's guild member stated as he finally released his real form which is that of an angel of the Third Heavenly Sphere.
"I am always thankful to the guild master but looking at you made me inferior. I just want to carve my own destiny and I believe that Evergreen is holding me back from my full potential." Anastacia's guild member stated.
"I have outgrown this guild. That is all." Siegfried's guild member stated as she also revealed her true form.
All three of the angel players immediately left the guild they are affiliated to as this betrayal can never be forgiven. They have destroyed the plans of their respective guilds and are determined to no longer walk the path that their previous guilds are walking. They believe that they could either outgrow or not grow when they are in a guild.
The three angel players used their wings and disappeared to the sky with a bright flash of light. They no longer needed to see the outcome of what they have done as they are suddenly being called by the leader of the angels, Pristina. The players are downcast as two magic circles not placed on the main magic circle suddenly appeared.
The Three Horsemen of the Apocalypse that should not have met easily got the ability to do so. The Horseman of Death managed to repel the players away from the magic circle while the Horseman of Pestilence and Horseman of Famine strode across the last leg of their travel. The raid party that got unwittingly caught in the trap made by the angels can only see the horror what three horsemen can unleash.
"How did they suddenly appear?!" Levin Cloud stated as he is shocked that the other two horsemen suddenly appeared.
"Look below them!" Mariposa stated as she is familiar with the magic circles below.
Two summoning magic circles could be seen below the Horseman of Famine and Horseman of Pestilence. The magic circles were actually just created after the major magic circle has finished charging up. The Horseman of Death actually used some of its life force to forcefully transport the other horsemen.
The raid party thought that they will be killed while sealed by the Chains of Light, but a far more terrifying horror awaits them. The three horsemen could be seen using all their power to power up the magic circle as a terrifying song started to play.
"This is a Requiem!" Creepysoo stated as he explained what that is.
A song that can be heard when a being that brings death and destruction is being summoned to this world. He knows of this as the Gods of Death will often say that when a Requiem is heard, the Gods of Death become busy. The fact that all of them are hearing it means they are dying.
