Chapter 2026: Advance of the Demons I
"So, will these be the people that we are going to transfer?" Elder Bronx asked.
"I am not sure. Please give me a bit of time to ask them." Adrian stated as announced that the Pantheon guild and the Evergreen guild will move to the middle part of the Leviathan. He also asked them if they would like to join as well. This shocked the other players as they did not expect that someone would share loot willingly.
"We would like to join!" Some of the players that only pay as groups and not as guilds shouted which also made the others voice out their desires.
"If that is the case then we will modify the teleportation magic circle there as well. You will be able to teleport to the location when you all return to Avalon. You can ask the demons to send you to the second location." Adrian stated as he and the other demons would use too much mana if they brought all the players here.
As soon as the players heard that they will be able to join on the next battle, they suddenly shouted in excitement. A lot of the top guilds would not even do such a thing, but the Demon was such a magnanimous person. If they actually knew that Adrian just wanted them to come, then they might have thought otherwise. Still, this type of thing is not common even if guilds look at others as cannon fodder.
"We need to kill the Leviathan faster as I have a bad feeling that something dangerous would happen if we do not do so immediately." Adrian thought.
"We can easily modify the magic circle to tag another coordinate. They also return to the territory so they can heal and get essentials again for raiding. Although, they should hasten once we tag the location." Elder Koronn stated.
"Let us go." Adrian stated as his guild and the Evergreen guild members suddenly vanished from the location.
"They have left. We could not even assassinate the Demon. He has too much battle sense as I felt his eyes when I was about to use a skill to try and damage him. Does he have amazing sense to the point that he could pinpoint bloodlust?" A dark gamer reported as he retreated after the Leviathan's tail was destroyed.
The Valor and Infernum guild were slowly destroying the middle part of the Leviathan. There were still some small islands scattered around which made it possible for them to have a foothold. Still, this type of thing made it difficult for them to deal catastrophic damage to the middle part of the Leviathan. They were holding on because most of the players they recruited were using some sort of jetpack.
The Gnome Kingdom has become able to create the best jetpacks as they called since it was just a prototype when the game started. The fact that a stable jetpack was only created after years of research and development is a testament to how difficult it is. Still, the Infernum guilds was able to get their hands on this because they are in an alliance with the Gnome kingdom since one of their main guild members is a hero in the place.
Even though the Infernum guild members have the jetpack, it does not mean that the duration of flight is infinite. The jetpack is only able to be functional in proportion to the magic crystal that is inserted into it. The most basic magic crystal can gain a person at least an hour before it goes into emergency mode and uses the mana of the flyer. The Infernum guild members are burning money in order to destroy a part of the Leviathan.
They were able to maintain a certain battle status, but it all changed when the tail's barrier was finally destroyed. Five waterspouts suddenly got created and made it difficult for those flying in the air. Some even plunged to the water and died as the Leviathan has full control of the seas where the middle part of it is. This is not like the tail that is close to the shore which made it easy to counter when Adrian sipped all of the water.
"Destroy the waterspouts with magic spells!" Faust shouted as he also called upon great power using his Greater Fire Elemental.
Faust was able to destroy one of the waterspouts by creating a powerful fire explosion inside one. Another was destroyed by Sigfried using pure force, then the third is destroyed by Ain using a martial sage art that reversed the rotation of one. The remaining two were supposed to be destroyed by the mage group of the two guilds but the sudden arrival of people made them actually halt. Time suddenly froze as Elder Koronn froze time for a second before resuming it.
"Such troublesome water twisters." Elder Koronn stated as he easily destroyed the two waterspouts with a snap of his finger.
Elder Koronn easily destroyed them by stopping the force in the middle by isolating the time inside. As soon as Elder Koronn arrived, he finally let go as it seems that it has been quite some time since he was outside of his laboratory. He immediately resumed time for all the others that were affected by his skill and froze the middle part of the Leviathan which made it unable to dive or move about.
"Well, what are you youngsters doing? Destroy the thing so that we can move towards the head." Elder Koronn stated as he also started to create a magic circle that links to Avalon.
"You heard the elder. Attack!" Adrian shouted as well and summoned Wisteria.
Wisteria landed in the waters and assumed her real size. She became a large moving water ship that made it easy for the long-range attackers to hit their spells. The melee players had to use the stepping ice field that Kanlaon created in order to deal damage to the frozen middle part of the Leviathan.
"Why did it suddenly change to become so easy?" Both Siegfried and Ain grumbled as they were having a difficult time earlier.
"That was an entrance that I never expected." Ain stated as he sighed but felt relieved.
Ain and Siegfried might now want to admit it, but they were barely had any stamina left. They were the ones that are making sure that their guild members were alive from all the damage. When the waterspouts appeared, they thought that they will actually be defeated. They knew that the middle part of the Leviathan is more durable compared to the tail.
"Sorry about that. We did give a heads up that we will be arriving." Adrian stated.
"We received the message, but I did not think that you will arrive after a few seconds that you sent the message." Ain stated.
"Still, I am thankful for this. Such a sight is actually such a perception breaker. The fact that the enemy is frozen in place via time manipulation is making me shudder in fear. I am actually thankful that the Daemos are not evil." Siegfried stated but Adrian can only laugh dryly because there were one's demons that became evil.
"Let us hope that they will not be released from their seals that are hidden in pocket dimensions." Adrian thought.
The appearance of the Pantheon and the Evergreen guild made it easy for the health barrier of the middle part of the Leviathan to drop to a great degree. Any mysterious power or spell released by the Leviathan were easily suppressed by Elder Bronx as well. The other players finally followed them to the second location and started attacking the Leviathan as well.
"Death to the Leviathan! This is thanks to Equinox!" Shouted the players as some of them suddenly became fanatic followers of Adrian.
"It seems that your fans are rampaging as they like. I should join in as well or else the contribution of my guild would plummet." Siegfried shouted as he was already healed by Anastacia.
"Thanks, grandma. I am fully healed as well. I should also go into the battle or else the old man would get all the great rewards." Ain stated which made Anastacia smack the back of his head before he returned to battle.
Adrian did not participate in this battle, but his guild members did. He was assessing the area for any unforeseen threats as discussed by the other two elders to him. The Daemos Elders knew that Adrian was a skilled fighter, but they needed someone who could see through falsehood. They believed that some gods might have interfered with the Leviathan, and they needed him to be on the lookout.
The two elders might be able to detect them, but Adrian was much better when it comes to detection. They even told him that he was the best demon with such precise detection that would make all of them envy him. Even Old Man Pann told them that he was better than him when it comes to presence detection.
