A visible change could be seen on Adrian's body as the pure and righteous look suddenly changed to a more edgy and dangerous one. His change from Aetheros to Netheros could be seen as cool because nether mist would sweep his body going up to his head.
Adrian looked a bit different from his usual Netheros form as there is some slight additions to his body. The new pair of wings made of nether mist is a bonus, but his horns also looked even more demonic in a sense. Adrian now has three pairs of horns on his head that goes varies in size. The horns go from the biggest to smallest that accentuated the look that his horns simulate some sort of crown.
The viewers that love the edgier and bad boy look that Adrian now has could be seen mashing their keyboards away in the forum. Adrian looked like he maxed out the Charm stat if he ever had one which the viewers speculated that he has but he does not. If those cursing Adrian's handsome look knew of this, then they might die from jealousy.
[You have switched to your Netheros form.]
[All bonuses gained from the Aetheros form will no longer apply to you.]
Adrian received notifications that told him of the states of his body. He can no longer get the bonus from Aether Dust that he collected when he was in Aetheros form. Those that are affected with his Aether Dust will also lose the benefits after a few minutes when it runs out.
Adrian felt that his current body is more suited for him as he wanted to move his body a lot. He also released all of his soulbounds as they need to deal with the combined might of the remaining horsemen. All of them already knew of Adrian's soulbounds but this is the first-time people saw Wisteria.
Wisteria is still in her infant form as Adrian has yet to start hunting with her but the buff that she has is something that Adrian will need. Saena is also out in the world which means she could get all the sickness that the Horseman of Pestilence applies to his allies.
The two remaining Horsemen of the Apocalypse could see that their enemies have increased but their powers also increased. They now need to protect the scales left by the Horseman of Famine as the summoning magic circle for the Dragon of Revelation will break should it be destroyed.

"We split up against them. I will take Solstice, Lycan, Soleil and Faust to defeat the Horseman of Pestilence. The rest would be in your group to deal with the Horseman of Death." Hou Yiwei stated as he immediately urged the others to follow his lead.
The others did not rebuke him as Hou Yiwei actually picked the best people to go against the Horseman of Famine. Solstice and Lycan's blood are immune to most diseases that can affect humans. Soleil and Faust are fire elemental users which can burn the insects that the Horseman of Pestilence could summon.
Hou Yiwei would also be the support for them as he could snipe the attacks that the Horseman of Pestilence does. He is also a fire attribute dragonoid which means that he could also release flames to destroy any insects that reach him.
Adrian is left with Frey, Vayu, Alder, Ain and Siegfried which he finds well suited to fight against the Horseman of Death. Frey, Vayu and Ain are all quick attackers that have great speed and damage. Siegfried has explosive damage that can deal large amounts of damage that can stun even boss monsters. Alder will support them with his elemental arrows and spells while Adrian will take control of the battlefield with his soulbounds.
"Wisteria use Flower Therapy." Adrian commanded as a floral scent is released in the area from Wisteria.
[Your attack damage has been increased by 10%.]
[Your defenses have been increased by 15%.]
Adrian activated Floral Therapy but that also meant that the monsters around them got enticed by the smell. Even the lizardmen that is made from the blood of the Dragon of Revelation got called by the delicious floral scent. Adrian did this intentionally as his sister has no more blood that she can use as a weapon.
Solstice gave Adrian a thumbs up as she needed this to become powerful. To help him even further, Adrian made Sirius use Nether Rush to inflict heavy wounds on the monsters that came towards them. The blood that Solstice needed got replenished as she headed towards the Horseman of Pestilence.
The monsters also made use of Ain's skill that increases his attack power per hit he has landed. The monsters that came towards Wisteria became the perfect punching bags for him as his strike increased per attack. Although, the Horseman of Death also benefitted from the hordes of monsters dying as it could recover some health that it lost but that also applied to the Dark Dragon King as well.
"Kanlaon!" Adrian commanded via their soul link and his Genesis Dragon immediately released its dragon breath towards the Horseman of Death.
The Horseman of Death did not seem phased as it just brushed off the attack by coating its scythe with a bluish aura. The Horseman of Death actually swatted Kanlaon's breath attack with just one swipe, but the Dark Dragon King did not waste the opening as he also fired off his breath attack that looked like a beam made of pure darkness.
Both attacks of the two dragons did not do damage to the Horseman of Death as it could easily block them with his peculiar aura. Adrian then created portals that transported Sirius and Kimat towards the Horseman of Death. Sirius came from below while Kimat came from above.
Sirius wanted to rip apart the Horseman of Death while Kimat wanted to make it explode using his lightning. The Horseman of Death did not seem bothered by the sudden appearance of the two as its scythe became covered with a red aura and attacked them with one swing.
