The group is slightly shocked to see the Horseman of Pestilence. When they looked at the Fire Dragon King, the group is even more shocked as they saw him lying down on the ground heavily wounded by numerous arrows. The Fire Dragon King is still alive, but he could be seen breathing heavily as if he is sick.
Adrian did not know what happened to the Fire Dragon King as he returned back to his default Aetheros True Form after the last attack. Adrian's default Aetheros True Form is different to his Aetheros True Mirror Form. He does not have a gigantic glowing mandala behind him but wings that stretched wide as if a cosmos is hidden inside of them.
His cosmos like wings is also not connected physically to his body as they looked like they sprouted out of the four rainbow-colored crystals behind Adrian. The garment that made up of Adrian's armor looked like a robe that a chief magistrate would wear while his feet could not be seen as a cloud of Aether Dust is still present at his lower body.
Adrian's face is also covered with a hood that concealed his upper face, but his lower face could be seen. His horns are sticking out of the hood that he is wearing which indicated that he is still a demon. His normal form looks like a personification of a Greek god wearing their battle attire.
[The Horseman of Pestilence' power has increased due to the death of the Horseman of Famine.]
[The Horseman of Death's power has increased due to the death of the Horseman of Famine.]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"The Great Plague!" The Horseman of Pestilence stated as a huge swarm of locusts is suddenly released behind her.
The swarm of locusts are not the only problem as she also released arrows to hit all the vanguard members but Adrian casted Crystallize to increase their defenses once more. Some arrows also hit Adrian, but he just healed the damage that is dealt to him. The Light Dragon King saw the swarm of locusts and released her breath attack, but the swarm just dodged as if they are incredibly intelligent.
[The Horseman of Pestilence has started The Great Plague.]
[All resistances will decrease by 30%.]
[Increases chances of getting afflicted by status ailments by 15%.]
[All those that die will have their body explode and release Contagion to those near them.]
The Great Plague not only affected Adrian and the others but the whole battlefield. It would have been easier if only they are the ones affected but the others are affected as well. Those that have low resistances to begin with could be seen starting to cough as sickness has struck them. To make matters worse, Levin Cloud informed Adrian of something that he did not want to read.
"I can no longer maintain the Tree of Life and Death. I can only summon it for two more minutes at most." Levin Cloud informed Adrian.
When Adrian received the chat from Levin Cloud, he knew that he only has two more minutes left for his transformation. Adrian looked at the people behind him and decided to use the last skill available to his Aetheros True Form that will transform him back after being used.
"Aether Genesis!" Adrian's voice reached to everything covered in his domain which is the whole battlefield.
His domain would normally not cover the battlefield under normal circumstances, but the mirror armament made it possible. A clear ringing sound reached the ears of everyone in the domain as they felt something within them started to become energetic. Adrian's four large wings suddenly covered his entire body as if he became a small cosmos.
The cosmic ball that is the size of ten meters suddenly started to expand to double its size. The Horseman of Famine and the Dragon of Revelation tried to attack it, but their attacks are ineffective. They cannot even put a scratch on the cosmic ball as it started to shake.
With a loud burst, the cosmic ball exploded into countless small fragments that made the air fresh. Those affected by the Aether Dust could finally see changes in their bodies. Even the ones that started showing sickness could be seen getting better when they got hit by that cosmic dust.
[You have been blessed by the Aetheros.]

The Aether Genesis skill cleansed the sickness of every being and even made them heal faster. The whole group cheered but it is also the start of their hardships as the Tree of Life and Death returned back to Paradiso. Creepysoo's transformation ended as well and that means he can no longer create numerous undead.
"We have five minutes!" Adrian shouted as he used his limit break skill to summon all his remaining soulbounds.
Just as they thought that they can take the Horseman of Pestilence alone, three dark shadows suddenly surfaced. The Dark Dragon King, Sirius and the Horseman of Death all surfaced back. The Dark Dragon King and Sirius could be seen having serious injuries as well as the Horseman of Death.
Sirius then sent the gist of the battle in the shadow realm to Adrian. The combination of Sirius and the Dark Dragon King could be seen as seamless, but the Horseman of Death suddenly powered up when they were about to land a heavy blow. They would have incapacitated the Horseman of Death if he did not become more powerful.
"That is fine, Sirius. The next battle is just getting started and I am glad to say that it is time for me to be in the offensive as well." Adrian stated as his soft and gentle appearance that sparkled suddenly started to change into a more sinister look as he changed to his Netheros Core.
