Aether Dust concentration once again started to rise quickly as Adrian's True Form increased the size of the Aetheros Domain. His gigantic form is equal to that of the size of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the dragon kings. This is different compared to any demons as they do not have a form like Adrian's that exudes the aura of a godlike being.
The dragon kings already knew of Adrian, but they only knew of him as the master of the Genesis Dragon. They thought that he was just a summoner that just happened to be a demon and got lucky in finding a dragon that has the capabilities of perfectly absorbing the elemental cores of other dragons.
"Kanlaon!" Adrian stated as he suddenly created numerous mirrors strengthened with Aether energy.
Kanlaon then fired his Genesis Dragon Breath towards the mirror and Adrian redirected it in different directions. He scattered the beam to make sure that all of the horsemen are hit. He also made Sirius do this as well with his shadow spikes as they made use of the mirror to injure the horsemen.
When the group saw what Adrian is doing, they immediately knew what he intends to do by supporting them. The range dealers immediately realized this when Adrian created multiple mirrors around them. He is basically telling them to just shoot at the mirrors and he will be the one to make sure that they hit.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSoleil is the first to do this as she trusts Adrian as a dependable person. The fireballs that she released into the mirror are then spread towards the three horsemen which effectively made her attack all three of them at once. For attacks that need great control life fire tornadoes, Adrian cannot use the mirrors, but he can use them for skill shots and projectiles.
Hou Yiwei and Alder did not hesitate any longer and made sure to shoot as many attacks on the mirrors. They actually felt that they are cheating because the arrows that they release would always hit. They did not grumble if the targets they intended are not hit like the Horseman of Famine, but they knew that Adrian used their attacks to make the other two horsemen divert their attention.
The vanguard team is working with the Light Dragon King in making sure that the Horseman of Famine will not have enough time for her ability to work. It seems that the Horseman of Famine cannot just change the rules of the world in a snap. She needs to be able to perceive and make contact with the scales for her to be able to use this.
The vanguard team managed to learn of this when Solstice attacked the hand of the Horseman of Famine while she was casting. The spell or ability that the Horseman of Famine used at that time suddenly got interrupted when Solstice hit the hand clutching the scales. Once they knew of this, they made sure that at least one of them will hit the hand that holds the scales.
The Horseman of Famine did not like what is happening to her as she could feel that the intensity of the bugs that surround her suddenly became annoying. The Horsemen of Famine suddenly exploded with great power as the mana that she used suddenly made the whole area around her become increasingly heavy.
"She finally used the ability of the scales but let us see who has more control over space." Adrian stated as he targeted the area of the Horseman of Famine and lifted the increased gravity.
The Horseman of Famine looked at Adrian with great disdain as she could not believe that her scales' ability would be negated by a newly evolved Arch Demon. Adrian might look like he is having it easy, but he feels the power of that ability.
"Heavy." Adrian thought but he did not show it because showing it would be a sign of weakness.
He knows that mana would not be able to contend with the power of an artifact imbued with the powers of dead gods which is why he is using Aether Energy as substitute which is in abundance. With the gravity returning to normal though, the vanguard team went back in to attacking the Horseman of Famine.
Adrian is focusing on using Reverse Gravity when the Horseman of Death is suddenly gone from his location. A scythe suddenly came slashing at his neck, but it did not connect because he suddenly exploded into crystal dust particles. His Aether Dust Dispersion skill activated which made Adrian rather shocked because that attack would have claimed a vast portion of his health.
Numerous Aether Dust scattered around, and Sirius emerged from the shadows to drag the Horseman of Death to the shadow realm. Sirius could not easily drag the Horseman of Death to the shadow realm despite his size, but a dark shadow of a dragon emerged from the shadows as well. The Dark Dragon King grabbed the Horseman of Death and dragged the latter down to the shadow realm with Sirius' help.
With the Horseman of Death gone, one of the heavy auras that filled the battlefield vanished. Adrian's body reformed in the same spot as the Aether Dust formed his body. The Horseman of Pestilence saw what happened to the Horseman of Death and immediately went into the offensive. The razor armored bugs that she controls are commanded to destroy Adrian's team.
The Horseman of Pestilence still has some bugs to control to fight against the Fire Dragon King, but she needed to help the Horseman of Famine. If one of them falls, then their revenge on the world will become for naught. The razor armor bugs did not even penetrate the skins of all the team members because they looked like their skin is covered by a diamond film.
"Crystallize!" Adrian casted as all of the people in his area are affected by Crystallize.
The vanguard is greatly boosted by this skill as their defenses have increased tremendously. They are now tanking the spells that the Horseman of Famine is releasing. They are practically invincible when they are affected by Crystallize. They still get damaged but the damage that they receive are only in the 1% max health range.
Crystallize not only affects the body of the targets but also the weapons as it also has a thin diamond film covering them. The weapons are also hardened as a result which means they will deal more damage when the hit connects. They might have been affected by Crystallize but the bugs will not die unless they kill them.
The Fire Dragon King exploded in flames as he sent waves of fire that burned the razor armored bugs. The players were thankful, but the Fire Dragon King did not mind doing that as he only did what he needs to do. The Horseman of Pestilence' arrows are released to try and kill the vanguard team but Adrian just created a mirror to redirect it to the Horseman of Famine.
