Chapter 2027: Advance of the Demons II
[The middle part of the Leviathan has dropped to 20% health.]
[Getaway from the immediate area.]
Before Adrian has realized it, the middle part has already been destroyed. A sudden surge of powerful torrent of water came from below. All of the players caught in the sudden explosion of water were tossed upwards. Adrian suddenly saw a powerful killing intent from behind which the tail of the Leviathan is suddenly surging towards them.
"Elder Koronn, please help me." Adrian calmly stated.
"I know what you need." Elder Koronn stated as he suddenly snapped his fingers which made time stop for the others except for the Daemos that are unaffected.
Adrian transformed to his mirror demon form and tagged all of the players that were sent flying upwards. He pooled all of them in groups and created mirrors that transferred them to the islands below. When time finally flowed, the players were only dumbfounded that they were in the air one time and then on land the next. The sharp tail of the Leviathan swept across the skies, but it did not kill any of the players due to the intervention of the Daemos.
[The Leviathan's middle part and tail has fled! Follow it to the last location and destroy the last protected part to summon the Leviathan in the last confrontation.]
"We destroyed it!" The players shouted as they finally destroyed the middle part and started to catch the loot.
Some of the loots were dropped to the sea but they were able to fish them out due to the blessing of the deep. The mages that can control water used their spells to bring up the loot that dropped to the seafloor. Once all of the loot was collected, some of the guilds boarded their airships to fly towards the location of the head. Pantheon and Evergreen guild teleported directly to the head area of the Leviathan.
One of the Demons stayed to create a teleportation magic circle that led to the beach. Upon the arrival of the Pantheon and the Evergreen guild to the location of the head of the Leviathan, Adrian worked with the two elders to create a portal that directly led to the area. They can only set up the portal at sea because there were no islands in the vicinity.
Fortunately for the players that teleported there, they already had the blessing of the deep and easily traversed the waters. The airships were still ten minutes away as the distance was still a bit far even though they had a head start. Adrian wanted to offer to teleport the Valor and the Infernum guild, but they declined.
The Pantheon and the Evergreen guild saw that the battle to destroy the barrier of the head of the Leviathan has almost reached a conclusion. The guild led by Hou Yiwei saw the arrival of the Pantheon and the Evergreen guild, but they also saw that the latter did not join in the fight. The reason for the Pantheon and the Evergreen guild not joining is due to the fact that they know the guild etiquette.
It is guild etiquette to not suddenly kill a prey that a group has already started unless they agreed. Anastacia actually asked them if they could aid them, but they were declined which is why Adrian also told the other Daemos to standby. It did not take long and the barrier that protected the Leviathan's head has been destroyed. Hou Yiwei has powerful attack which easily destroyed the barriers, and he also has great support as well.
[The Leviathan's head has dropped to 25% health.]
[The Leviathan calls for the storms and waves to wash away all of the area.]
[Be careful of the things around you.]
A large wave suddenly washed towards all of the area in a circular area. The powerful wave will crash to all of the players that arrived. Adrian could immediately see that all of them were in panic mode as they did not have any procedures to deal with such natural disasters. Adrian smiled and nodded his head to wards Elder Koronn and Elder Bronx.
"Reverse Gravity!" Adrian, Elder Koronn, and Elder Bronx stated as a powerful force suddenly reversed the force that kept all of the players on the ground.
All of the players in the large area suddenly floated upwards until they were fifty meters away from the sea. The powerful wave crashed, and no players were harmed by the natural disaster. Still, the powerful wave is not the only problem as parts of the body of the Leviathan surged across the water. The tail of the Leviathan that was broken suddenly formed into a water blade that surged towards the players that were floating in the sky.
"I will deal with that." Elder Bronx stated as he suddenly transformed into his true form and clashed with the Leviathan's tail.
The Leviathan's tail was sent flying back into the ocean, but a strange scene suddenly formed. The strength of the tackle that Elder Bronx used was actually enough to destroy the tail, but it suddenly turned into water when it crashed into the sea. The head of the Leviathan that is also heavily damaged suddenly melted into the water as well as if it was not actually a real body part.
"Such arrogance for mere humans! Even if you have the support of the Daemos, you will never truly kill me!" A voice that came from the deepest part of the sea stated as it made the sky rumble, and seas shake.
The Leviathan finally showed its full body as it rose from the deepest parts of the sea. The three parts that all the players attacked is actually a powerful projection that the Leviathan has created. The real Leviathan is actually gathering energy in the deepest parts of the seas by absorbing the Chaos Shard Fragment that it was given by the God Loki. It used a projection of itself to protect its body from any harm from the outside.
A powerful pressure broke through the seas and the Leviathan looked different to the entity that it projected earlier. When the Leviathan showed itself, Adrian shuddered as his line of sight suddenly trailed to the shard that is embedded on the forehead of the Leviathan. He looked incredibly mesmerized as if greed sprouted in his heart and another being is whispering to him to take that shard.
"I finally see you again, demon brat!" A voice that is filled with malice is suddenly heard behind Adrian which made him snap out of his trance.
"Master!" Sirius shouted as he jumped out of the shadow and used his claws to parry the incoming dagger aimed at Adrian's neck.
"Did you think that I did not detect you earlier?" Adrian muttered as he initiated Time Stop.
The two elders were also made aware of the unknown presence in the area. Adrian already told them that there was a god hiding in the shadows of illusions. He was not sure which god it was, but Adrian made sure to tell the elders to be in alert as they might be the targets.
"I did not think that it was you, but tricksters are the most troublesome of gods after all. Still sending a clone? I guess you really are a coward as the other Vanir gods said." Adrian stated as he could feel the power of the God Loki in front of him.
The clone of the God Loki became infuriated as this clone only had the power of a lesser god, but it was still connected to the main body. What hurt the God Loki the most is the fact that he was called a coward. Still, the God Loki knew that it was all a trick for him to lose composure which might lead him to this clone's death.
"You are making too many enemies, mediator. Even if you are chosen by the Twin Gods, you cannot be protected by them now that they have fallen into slumber. I will make sure to showcase your head once I separate it from your body. I will leave for now." The God Loki stated but it seems that he underestimated the abilities of all the elders.
"Chrono Field Domination!" Elder Koronn stated as the area suddenly got enveloped in a thin barrier where time became aberrant.
The God Loki clone that was supposed to use a scroll that connects to the Bifrost suddenly failed in activating the scroll. The scroll activated but the magic inscribed in it got destroyed as soon as Elder Koronn activated the spell that changed the flow of time in the area. The God Loki clone could only use physical means in order escape rather than magical.
"What did you do!?" The God Loki clone shouted as he could feel that there was a slight shift in the time flow in the area.
"God Loki, you are charged with crimes of destroying the dimensional barriers." Elder Bronx proclaimed as he suddenly appeared behind the God Loki clone and smacked him towards the sea.
