Adrian plunged the scythe deeply in Tai's chest and thought that he has finally defeated the summoner of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. To Adrian's surprise, Tai suddenly turned into numerous paper shreds. The paper shreds then collected to a location and formed a weakened Tai.
p A yokai that looked like a small paper man then took care of Tai. It seems this yokai is able to save Tai by sacrificing a part of its health. This paper yokai's body could be seen with a large tear.
Adrian more or less expected something like that to happen, but he must admit that is a cool skill effect. Since there are no longer people that can keep him from leaving, Adrian flew higher towards the barrier to see weak point.
"The more time that I spend here then the more difficult position I am in. If Eldritch kills Tai, then his attention would either go to me or Hou Yiwei. The ball is not in my favor which is why I need to leave as soon as possible." Adrian thought to himself as he hacked at the barrier.
The barrier started to become weaker and weaker per hit as it was not only Adrian hitting it. Kanlaon and Kimat are also participating. Charon, Dodu, and Sirius is protecting him while Wisteria is providing her support.
"Yiwei! Stop him!" White shouted which Hou Yiwei in dragon form heard.
Hou Yiwei knew that the thing that they want is in the hands of Adrian. He did not delay it any further and breath his breath attack towards Adrian. Seeing this, Adrian had no choice but to use the Potential Force Barrier that blocked magic attacks. The area is engulfed in flames, but the flames did not pass through the barrier.
The force barrier is effective against the breath attack, but it greatly consumes mana from Adrian. Kanlaon saw this and countered Hou Yiwei's breath attack with his own. The breath attack of two dragons clashing created a powerful explosion.
The explosion is powerful enough to blow away the yokais near them. Adrian smiled as he used this momentum to hack at the barrier which created a small hole. Just as he is about to attack another time, a powerful beam of energy suddenly hit him in the back. He was not able to see it as the smoke from the explosion is yet to scatter.
[You have received slight damage from corrupted energy.]
[You have been stunned by 0.5 seconds.]
[You have recovered from your stunned status ailment.]
Adrian looked at the direction where the beam of energy is fired and saw that Eldritch was the one that did it. He does not know why Eldritch attacked him, but it suddenly made it more difficult for him to escape. It is not in his control on what they do but he is now incredibly annoyed.
"If you guys like to stop me then let see you stop this!" Adrian stated as he knew that he will not be able to leave unless he kills them or gravely injures them. Adrian then switched back to his Netheros Form as he is no longer playing.
"Nether Domain!" Adrian stated as the mist rolling in the area started to change.
The yokai that was wreaking havoc on all of them could actually feel the powerful death energy that is being spread out. The yokai were very happy at first as they will grow stronger from the death energy but even, they suddenly felt something innately terrifying about it. They did not dare to even try to absorb this volatile death energy as they knew that it will be the death of them.
"Netheros True Form!" Adrian shouted as torrents of nether mist started to gather at his side.
The nether mist flooded Adrian like a raging stream and all of his soulbounds returned back to their soul corridors. The next thing that they could see is a terrifying entity made of nether mist with four wings. Adrian looked like a typical fallen angel as he is still fused with Saena at this point.
Adrian's armor looked like tattered armor with eerie broken chains hanging about. The white wings with cosmos effects suddenly turned black and spewing out nether mist. His hair that was feathers became covered by a hood and only his face could be seen.
'Visit (No ve (l)B i n) to read, pls!',
A mask that looks like a black pigeon covered Adrian's face. Even his hands looked like talons instead of normal hands which added to a terrifying look of a ghost angel bird hybrid. When Adrian spread out his wings, a tide of nether mist came out of it.
The tide of nether mist then released all of his soulbounds in their nether forms. Adrian did not want to hold back any longer and decided to make use of the powerful skills of all his soulbounds. Sirius even used his Samael Domain to conjure up an illusion that Adrian was just standing still and observing them.
"Sirius use Realm Ender!"
"Kanlaon use Elemental Apocalypse!"
"Kimat make it rain lightning from above!"
"Charon tie them up with your chains!"
"Dodu, devour all those that you can devour!"
[Wisteria has used Flower Mystery.]
[Wisteria gained the skill Petal Bloom]
"Wisteria use Petal Bloom!"
"All of you wanted a fight then I shall bring you annihilation!" Adrian announced as the whole area could be seen to become dark.
All the enemies before Adrian could feel that they have unleased something that they should not have. Even Eldritch that has supreme confidence on himself started to feel a bit nervous. He did not understand this feeling before because he has never felt fear from others.
Tai, who thought that he has a chance in stealing the Soul of Conquest, suddenly gave a heavy sigh. He knew that Equinox was not even serious earlier as he was more focus on getting away than fight. Now that Equinox was focused on fighting than escaping, they can now see that they should have let him escape.
