Chapter 1284 The Pantheon VS Fallen Knights VIII
Adrian did not know who the target of that spell was, but he knows that it was not him. He could feel the shifting of space around him because the spell is basically like Blink but forcefully uses the mana of the user. Since the mage user is not proficient or able to use Arcane magic, they had to sacrifice their health should they want to force something as powerful as space.
"Aerial Guillotine!" A voice familiar to Adrian is heard from behind him.
Adrian suddenly felt a piercing pain in his chest due to a lance impaling his chest. The lance came from none other than Dame as she suddenly appeared behind Adrian. It is not that Adrian could not believe it, but he did not expect to be caught so easily.
Adrian knew that he blundered by suddenly appearing in front of the enemy. He expected that they have some sort of way to trap him, but he did not expect them to use skills that sacrifice their life to achieve it. He thought that they would use it as a last resort, but it seems they used it the moment they saw him.
"This was your plan all along. I am impressed." Adrian stated as his body started to turn into particles of light.
"You are the most troublesome fighter in your guild after all." Dame stated but it was not just Adrian that was pierced with a weapon.
Levin Cloud is also pierced with a lance just like Adrian, but the former was pierced by Mord. It seems that they were both targets of the enemy\'s plan as they would be the people that can change the flow of the fight. Adrian is a hard hitter that have many area of effect spells while Levin Cloud could revive the dead as long as he is alive.
The two are indeed the most powerful among the guild as one is the strongest sweeper and the other is the best support player. Dame used the skill called Aerial Guillotine which is a combination skill she has with her Minoan Griffin mount. It is a powerful skill that has a chance to instantly kill a player, but it also has a high damage multiplier.
The Aerial Guillotine could also be increased in damage if the user sacrifices their health which Dame did. She even sacrificed some of the health that her Minoan Griffin mount had which increased the damage of the skill even further. She even managed to break the three elemental shields that are affecting Adrian.
Mord, on the other hand, used the skill called Guillotine which has the same effect as Aerial Guillotine but lower in damage. He was only able to kill Levin Cloud because he was lucky that he activated the critical strike blow that the skill had. The damage he dealt was doubled and penetrated Levin Cloud\'s defenses.
The plan that they dubbed as \'God Save the Queen\' is a plan crafted to kill the Equinox and Levin Cloud. They knew that they need to lock Equinox for at least five seconds to kill him while they could just kill Levin Cloud by surprise. They would make the guild officials kill the two by suddenly transporting them.
It was a well thought out plan that required at most five sacrifices, but they are glad they managed with just two. It seems that luck was on their side when they executed the mission. The morale of the Fallen Knights guild could be seen increasing because of their success.
The Fallen Knights guild cheered as they were able to kill the guild leader and vice guild leader of the enemy team. They might have sacrificed their two most powerful mage players, but it was worth it because they dealt with the strongest players they know. They expected that the other members of the Pantheon guild will lose morale, but they are shocked that they continued on with their assault.
"Dame, what is happening?" One of the guild officials asked as they regrouped with her.
"I thought that they would lose their will to win this round, but it seems that they want to keep fighting." Another guild member added.
"You thought that we will lose morale just because you killed those two? It seems that you underestimate us more than we thought. Glacial Wind!" Peridot stated as she mixed her water and wind gem to create numerous small but sharp ice shards.
"Kill her next!" Dame shouted as five assassin players jumped Peridot, but Kabrakan suddenly lunged towards her and blocked all five assassins. His health could see become back to full as Levin Cloud healed him back to full before he died.
"To think that he accurately predicted that they would target him in some way. He just did not expect that they would be able to kill him." Kabrakan stated.
"That is why we have to seize the chance before those two come back." Peridot stated as she released the Glacial Wind which sent the small ice shards towards all the enemies. She created numerous bruises and cuts that made the enemy draw blood. Solstice could be seen becoming more powerful as the blood of others are drawn.
"Curse of Hemorrhage!" Creepysoo added as he released a thin red gas that afflicted all the enemy team.
[You have been applied with the Curse of Hemorrhage.].
[Your health regeneration will decrease by half for ten seconds.]
[You will receive excessive bleeding from the Bleed status ailment.]
"Finally, something to pull from instead of my own blood! Bloody Queen!" Solstice stated as she can now be effective in combat and used one of her most powerful abilities.
Solstice\'s shadow dress started to become dyed with red as the blood of her enemies gathered towards her like mist. Lycan is also helping her by afflicting Bleed towards all their enemies despite him not being able to kill them. The defenses of the enemy team are top notch but all that means is they need to hit them harder.
"We should start as well, daughter." Vayu stated as he eyed the other guild officials of the Fallen Knights guild.
"Yes, Papa. If the big brothers return, then they would likely slaughter them all." Soleil replied as she and her father immediately knew that they have to go all out now.
"Storm Avatar!" Vayu stated as his body that was still visibly humanoid suddenly started to get filled to the brim with wind elemental energy.
"Solar Avatar!" Soleil stated as her body started to gather all the fire elemental energy in the area.
Vayu suddenly transformed from a human looking player to a humanoid being made of wind and lightning. He still kept the outline of his human form, but he is no longer human as he transformed into a full elemental. His elemental body is bursting with wind and lightning that he did not even have a truly physical form.
Soleil, on the other hand, has transformed into a small female child that could be mistaken for being burned but she became fire incarnate. She looked like she was a human sun because her whole body is radiating heat that could easily melt metal. Even the arrow that was about to hit her suddenly turned to ashes before it reached her.
The three, Solstice, Vayu and Soleil, started their rampage since they have transformed themselves. Solstice created powerful sword waves with just a flick of her sword as the Blood Aura she collected is enough to create them indefinitely. She would launch these blood sword waves to the rear unit that is clumped.
She is pressuring the rear unit with just Lycan\'s help. Vayu and Soleil used their newly acquired forms and tormented the eight Fallen Knights guild officials as they released torrents of elemental magic without care for chant or mana. They were so powerful that the mounts of the knights died from the spells released by them since the rear unit cannot fully support them.
Dame tried to rescue the rear unit but charging towards Solstice to kill her, but she was suddenly held down by bandages. She commanded her Minoan Griffin to release a flurry of wind blades to release them and they did.
"You are not going anywhere. You still have business with me." Creepysoo stated as a lance is suddenly launched at him which Frankie managed to block with his body.
"Go, Guild Master! I shall face this one!" Mord stated as he knew that only he can hold Creepysoo alone.
