Chapter 1184 Fight For The Soul II

Adrian saw his chance when the attention of everyone is not focused on the eastern rider. He immediately used Enhanced Blink to get close to the soul of the eastern rider. The eastern rider wanted to attack Adrian, but he was strangely drawn to his presence as if he is the one that he is waiting for to get peace.

"Great Shepard, your lost sheep has been waiting for you!" The soul of the eastern rider stated, and Adrian saw his current state.

The soul of the eastern rider looked worn down and beaten as its clothes are full of battle cuts. This would not have been an issue since it is already a soul and could have restored its tattered state. The soul of the eastern rider looked pitiful and barely held on to its form.

"Come now. I shall lead you to the next life." Adrian stated the necessary line for the soul of the eastern rider to turn into a pale white flaming ball.

[You have retrieved the missing soul of the Eastern Rider.]

[You cannot teleport out of the Ten Thousand Sword Mound as Muramasa has locked onto you and is preventing you to escape using long range movement skills.]

'New novel chapters are published on Novel-Bin',

[If you get killed by Muramasa then the soul that you have collected will be released from your grasps.]

Adrian read the notifications and almost wanted to give up there. It was not only Muramasa that is after him but Tai and White as well. All the attention that was redirected in a chaotic fashion now pointed to one person and that person is Adrian.

"I am in danger!" Adrian thought to himself in a high pitch.

One would think that they should fight to the death, but Adrian looked at that odds and he will really die. He does not want that which is why he opted for the next best thing. That next best thing is running away at the fastest speed that he could.

"Burning Souls!" Adrian stated as he activated the skill of his scythe.

A black shadow came out from Adrian's body that traversed a straight line that hit almost everyone. The closest to him which is Muramasa got stunned by its own shadow while the other players got entangled as well. The only ones that are able to avoid the stun are Tai, Eldritch and Hou Yiwei.

Adrian did not even dare to see if he hit all of them and ran with all his might. He just needs to exit the vicinity of the Ten Thousand Sword Mound and he will be able to activate his teleportation. The three players suddenly focused their attention him, but it was mostly Tai and Hou Yiwei.

Tai is about to give chase to Adrian when Eldritch suddenly cut him off. This made Hou Yiwei the only one to react to Adrian's escape since the others are still stunned. Hou Yiwei released five arrows in a span of a quarter second and aimed perfectly at Adrian.

The arrows would have reached Adrian, but chains suddenly sprung up from his shadows to deflect the attack. A second later, Muramasa broke free from the restraints of Burning Souls and brandished a katana that is extremely sharp. With one swing of the sword, Muramasa suddenly appeared in front of Adrian as if he cut space itself.

Adrian's elemental shields that block damage are instantly shattered and his health got reduced by 10%. Adrian could not believe it as he could not follow it with his eyes, and he has great reaction time. Adrian got slashed on the back and almost let go of the soul of the eastern rider. He used his grit to clutch it tightly.

"Paradox, store the soul!" Adrian shouted as he tossed the soul to the Cube of Paradox. The Cube of Paradox then broke down into smaller pieces to catch the soul.

The Cube of Paradox looked like small cubes that orbited around a pale white ball of flame. Just as its master has ordered, the Cube of Paradox will never let it go unless his master dies. Muramasa saw this and tried aiming for the Cube of Paradox as Adrian crashed to the ground.

As Muramasa reached out to the Cube of Paradox, Sirius suddenly came out of the shadows to bite the neck of the field boss. It was not only Sirius that came out, but Charon used his chains to restrain Muramasa as Saena healed Adrian.

"The Demon! What is he doing here?" White stated as she did not expect that Adrian will be in this location and also taking what she was commanded to get. It was not just her, but the others thought of this as well.

"Ho! For the handsome demon to want to take that flaming orb thing that the others want then it must be the thing that the dark gods want as well. Pogrom, take care of them while I retrieve the item." Seam stated.

"Just make sure that I am well compensated for my participation." Pogrom stated as his body started to twitch.

Pogrom only controlled up to three flesh tendrils last time, but he suddenly stepped up and used ten. Three flesh tendrils held off Hou Yiwei, two held off Ork, another two held off Vixen, the other two held off Tama while the last one is reserved for White. He did not hold off Tai as Eldritch did not want help.

Seam no longer looks like she was playing as she looked like a madwoman that charged towards the Cube of Paradox. She opened her gigantic scissors as she intends to cut the small cube things protecting the soul. She would have been successful in doing so if she did not raise her giant scissors to protect herself from the incoming scythe headed her way.

Adrian could be seen with an expression of frustration and anger as he did not expect this development. He thought that it would just be a leisure quest to retrieve a missing soul, but it was not. He no longer cared if he died fighting at this point because they will not let him safely leave anyways.
