Omega Summoner - Chapter 2084: Cavalry from the Skies

Adrian could only think that the battle with the Ziz is pointless if they could not get it down to the ground. The elders have used a lot of mana in using Void Crusher while Old Man Pann is also tired from overusing his powers as well. If the old man was actually at his peak, then he might be able to deal with the Ziz himself, but all of his tamed monsters are not able to contend with it.

The other powerhouse NPCs of Avalon are also dealing with the flying monsters that are still alive. The Ziz was the only being that is not being attacked because it was powerful and quick. Only the demons that can bend time are able to slowly catch up to it. Adrian could feel that Elder Koronn was stopping time for brief moments in order for them to glimpse at the movement of the Ziz.

“Master, we must use it.” Sirius stated as the domain was still active.

“Ok.” Adrian agreed as he vanished from his location but an illusion of him was still there.

The Ziz looked down upon all of the lower beings that it killed. It was able to kill some of those pesky blessed ones, but it mostly killed off its own subordinates. The number of flying beasts decreased by half because of its own attack. Still, the Ziz did not care as all the life force that it took was reverted back to it as health. The Ziz thought that it would be able to recover entirely but the special spell called Void Crusher actually destroyed part of its mana body.

“The demons need to be destroyed. They are beings that could overturn the world! Overturn the world that I shall rule!” The Ziz thought as it suddenly sensed powerful bloodlust aiming for its neck.

The Ziz turned around to see the one that released such bloodlust but there was no one there. The next thing that the Ziz knew is that two daggers and a demon was hanging on its neck. The Ziz used its front talons to swat Adrian away but that was all the diversion he needed. Sirius suddenly came out of Adrian’s shadow in his released form and bit the back of the neck of the Ziz.

“Kuwah!” The Ziz screamed as a powerful potent poison entered its body.

Adrian was about to escape using blink and take Sirius with him, but the Ziz exploded its body once again into millions of feathers. The explosion this time did not scatter in the entire area but just in the general area where Adrian was in. The powerful explosion killed off Adrian and Sirius in the blink of an eye and they did not even have time to react.

[You have died.]

The Ziz manifested itself once again into its form but the bite mark and the poison in its system was still there. Sirius was able to damage the Ziz by a chunk of its health as Adrian empowered him to the brim. This also made the Poison of Samael become more potent to the point that even a transcendent being like the Ziz could not get rid of it. The bite mark was bleeding profusely and the Ziz has to use great effort in order to hold it back.

“Still, the demon is dead. I just need to deal with the others.” The Ziz stated but it suddenly heard a voice that it deemed annoying.

“Seriously! It is the first time that I revived in a while, and I did not think that I will get some buffs upon revival. Is this the perks of the Mediator of Death?” Adrian stated as he immediately revived and saw the notifications that would make anyone’s mouth drool.

[You have revived.]

[All health and mana have been restored.]

[Cooldowns have been reduced by half.]

[All stats will increase by 20% for a ten-minute duration after revival.]

Adrian could not believe the enormous, good stuff that he got from dying which he did not think be possible. He always hated dying in the game as there would be a chance of him failing the quest or protect his territory, but the buffs changed his perception. The fact that the buffs almost replenished all of his cooldowns but also increased his stats is mind-blowing to him. “Still, Sirius is not revived upon my revival. Even if we share a soul, he is still very hurt and that is something that I shall not forgive.” Adrian stated as his eyes blazed with fury.

“You should give up young demons as you will not be able to defeat me.” The Ziz stated as it once again exploded into feathers and launched themselves towards Adrian.

“Time Stop!” Adrian stated as time began to stop.

“You see. I managed to see something interesting earlier when time was stopped momentarily, and you became feathers. You were unable to move freely despite being a mass clump of primordial energy. You might be strong when you are whole but feathers that are clumped make you vulnerable.” Adrian stated as he used Limit Break: Summoner to summon his soulbounds.

Kanlaon released his breath attack towards all of the feathers which destroyed most of them. Charon grasped them with his chains and absorbed the life force in each feather making them turn to dust. Kimat cloaked himself in lightning and charged towards the feathered field to destroy all of them as well. Dodu turned into numerous smaller slimes and disintegrated one feather for each small slime.

All of this happened when time was stopped and the Ziz could only watch as parts of its body turned to dust. The power that made it able to destroy hundreds and thousands of enemies has now become its weakness. It did not even know that it had such a weakness until Adrian pointed it out. Still, Adrian cannot keep time still forever as his mana was seriously getting used up.

Even Elder Koronn does not stop time frequently as he pleases or as long as he pleases because the Time Wraiths will notice as well. This time, Adrian was prepared for such aftereffect as defeating the Ziz was more important than Time Wraiths after your life. The Ziz tried to reform its body, but its power was scattered because it also scattered its body. To think that the powerful attack that it uses to destroy all beings is now its fatal flaw.

[You have gained +1 to all of your stats for causing trauma to a Primordial Beast.] Adrian did not look at the notifications as he was busy making sure that time is stopped to the point that his nose actually started bleeding due to stress. He held time for so long that it was still paused despite his mana drying up. Adrian wanted to keep it longer, but he sensed something approaching and it was none other than the Time Wraiths.

[You have gained an achievement. You have gained the passive skill: Temporal Dabbler.]

Adrian had no choice but to stop using Time Stop and time flowed back naturally. The Time Wraiths also vanished as well because the time anomaly stopped but that also meant that the Ziz could now reform. Seeing that time is no longer stopped, the Ziz quickly reformed its body but parts of it could be seen missing. The feathered body of the Ziz could be seen having some bald spots.

“You!” The Ziz burned with rage as it charged towards Adrian in a straight line attempting to kill him before he could react.

“Temporal Bubble!” Elder Koronn suddenly appeared next to Adrian and cast a sphere of condensed temporal energy which slowed down the Ziz to a great degree.

A portal then swept across Adrian and Elder Koronn as they appeared back at Avalon. The temporal bubble then exploded which dealt some damage to the Ziz and enraging it further. Just as the Ziz is about to lock onto Adrian once again, Elder Bronx suddenly appeared below it and did a powerful uppercut that sent it flying upwards.

“Justice Rains from the Skies!” A powerful female voice stated as numerous swords of rainbow-colored light suddenly came down from the dark skies and pierced the Ziz.

Five beautiful maidens came piercing through the dark clouds using their Pegasi. The swords of light buried deep into the body of the Ziz and made it unable to turn into energy. The Ziz could only scream out loud as it plunged to the ground as all of its wings were heavily hit. The five maidens riding the Pegasi did not stop in their attacks as they relentlessly threw out numerous spells and attacks towards the Ziz as it was crashing down.

One of the maidens came flying towards Adrian and he noticed who it was which actually made him a bit nervous.

“I hope that we are not too late to help.” Frey stated as she smiled beautifully filled with grace and fierceness that only a Valkyrie could show.
