Chapter 1093
Adrian flew above the Horseman of Death, and it detected him, but the latter did not move. Adrian could already see that even the Horseman of Death will not make a move unless he enters the one-kilometer area of its perception. Adrian wanted to know why but he already has a few guesses.
Adrian views the Horseman of Death as a powerful raid boss that can overturn the laws of the world to some extent. It seems that the ability that the Rider of the North to see through weaknesses are also enhanced when he became the Horseman of Death.
If the Horseman of Death grasps your weakness, then there is a great chance that it will be able to influence you. It would explain why Levin Cloud felt a grasping feeling that pulled him to the Horseman of Death when he was seen through. A force that pulls a soul to the Horseman of Death as if he was a collector of some sort.
In fact, Adrian went to the underworld once to see if there were any souls that are killed by the Horseman of Death. He is shocked to find that no souls from any city have been transported to the underworld which encountered the Horseman of Death. Those killed by the Horseman of War were in Limbo when they died.
Adrian found out from one of the Anubis guards that the Horseman of Death is also one of their greatest pains when it comes to their duties. They said that the Horseman of Death is not like a reaper that guides soul to the afterlife but a collector that eats away the soul of those it kills.
Adrian then asked them why the Twin Gods are not giving him orders to stop the Horseman of Death, but they answered that it was a punishment to the mortals. They have forgotten so much of the teachings of the Twin Gods that they no longer believed in the beauty of life.
"The last thing they said that is the fact that the Twin Gods already knew that I would move so I can still save the souls of those collected. Why not give me a mission though? Has the developers become stingy?" Adrian thought.
Adrian looked at the Horseman of Death with his evil eyes and immediately saw the state of the collected souls. He could see numerous wailing souls trying to get out of the body of the Horseman of Death, but they cannot get out as if they are imprisoned. The Horseman of Death and Adrian stared at each other as if they could see each other clearly.
The Horseman of Death saw Adrian\'s brilliant shining soul that is even more pure than Levin Cloud\'s soul. Adrian could see the tormented and erratic soul of the Horseman of Death. Anyone who sees the soul of the Horseman of Death in its raw form would have nightmare fuel, but Adrian is already used to seeing things like that when a soul of a dark god is even more convoluted.
"Paradox, reverse the polarity." Adrian stated as the area suddenly became light.
The dead trees and scattered boulders in the area of the Horseman of Death suddenly started to float as Adrian\'s cloak flickered in the sky. He looked so domineering with the way eh activated his mana in full force. He wanted the Horseman of Death to float just like the dead trees and boulders.
When the Horseman of Death noticed that the things around it started to float, it looked a bit flustered but is hard to distinguish because the Horseman of Death\' face is all made of bones. If one observed closely then they would see that its bones rattled a little, but no one has that keen of an eyesight.
Even the players that have chosen their designated locations could feel the immense power that Adrian is using. The fact that one player could overturn the gravity of an area is already something in the realm of gods. They are both jealous and at awe for this feat but the one doing it is already desperate as it uses great mana consumption.
"It seems that the Horseman of Death is holding out because it uses its mana to have firm foundation on the ground. Peridot, please assist." Adrian stated via the voice chat.
"On it." Peridot stated as she suddenly walked through the air as if she is walking on a clear glass.
The earth gem that Peridot uses suddenly glowed in a bright light as the ground around the Horseman of Death started to get uprooted. Peridot poured more mana into her spell cracks started to appear as Adrian decided to also make a pulling force upwards.
The Horseman of Death could be seen emitting a murderous aura as the magic circle that it drew is being ruined. The Horseman of Death suddenly threw its scythe like a boomerang as it aimed for Peridot that is trying to destroy the ground. Peridot immediately used a wind elemental spell to deflect the scythe, but it then circled around towards Adrian.
Adrian knew that he needed to dodge but he found out that the Horseman of Death is slowly getting pulled away from the ground. He is now at a dilemma if he pushes through with the operation or dodge.
