The battle with the Horseman of Pestilence is not easy despite the elemental advantage that they have. Hou Yiwei is currently leading the battle with Soleil and Lycan while Faust and Soleil supported them. The Horseman of Pestilence might seem easier to handle compared to the Horseman of Death, but she is also difficult to kill.
The steed of the Horseman of Pestilence is covered with spiky armor that poisons anyone that touches them. Even Solstice' and Lycan's special blood could not block every debuff that will affect them. Hou Yiwei is the main vanguard for their group as a ten-meter-tall draconic warrior.
The bow split into dual handed swords that became two flaming swords. Some would think that Hou Yiwei would be slow with his large form, but he is incredibly fast. He is so quick in speed and reaction time that he could already split an arrow aimed at him in two.
Hou Yiwei showed the prowess of the rank one player as he faced the Horseman of Pestilence without fear. He also performed a great swordplay that it seems that he is dancing. He also made use of both his fire breath and tail in combat which made the fight easier for him.
The only defense that the Horseman of Pestilence has on close range combat is that her steed is covered in poisoned spike armor. Other than that, the Horseman of Pestilence would have difficulty against opponents that could stick to her. The poisoned spike armor could not even penetrate Hou Yiwei's dragon scale armor.
The Horseman of Pestilence even became much weaker when she got hit by Realm Ender. Hou Yiwei did not see it at a bad light as he made use of the opportunity. When the Horseman of Pestilence got slammed down. Hou Yiwei followed it up with a blast of dragon fire to the face. The Horseman of Pestilence screamed as the flames that devoured her face melted some part of it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Horseman of Pestilence is not entirely dead as they were never dead since they were only sealed up. The steed of the Horseman of Pestilence also suffered with the heat of dragon fire as some parts of the armor melted but Hou Yiwei could not keep up with the damage that he deals as fire breathing uses a lot of mana and stamina.
When Hou Yiwei could not continue breathing fire, a large puff of green smoke mixed with thousands of locusts erupted from the Horseman of Pestilence. The Horseman of Pestilence vanished and reappeared behind Hou Yiwei, and she fired off a barrage of arrows that hit his back. The arrows did not penetrate Hou Yiwei's back as the cape that flowed behind him is also a shield.
When the Horseman of Pestilence saw that she could not pierce the body of Hou Yiwei, she turned to another target and that is Solstice and Lycan. She thought that both of them would be easier to defeat but she remembers the vampire woman that eradicated hordes of monsters by herself. When the Horseman of Pestilence tried targeting Lycan, he would immediately enhance his body to become faster than the arrows themselves.
When the Horseman of Pestilence would release numerous locusts, the Salamander and Regulus would easily destroy them. The Horseman of Pestilence could be seen as pitiful as it has been countered to such a great degree. The horseman could not counter the team that is trying to kill her.
Since the Horseman of Pestilence could not easily counter her enemies, she had to use her allies instead. She released swarms of locusts towards the monsters summoned by the Dragon of Revelation and sapped their health. Some monsters died by shriveling up as their health disappeared to heal up the Horseman of Pestilence.
Once a monster is affected by the swarms of locusts that the Horseman of Pestilence summons, she would recover immense health. She also becomes empowered when she afflicts enemies with her diseases and poisons. The more she afflicts others with her diseases and poisons then the more powerful she becomes.
The only reason that the Horseman of Pestilence cannot deal with Hou Yiwei's group is due to the fact that they easily burn though everything. Faust and Soleil could easily destroy the swarm of locusts and even the poisonous clouds that the Horseman of Pestilence released. If they do use fire magic on the noxious fumes, they would create powerful explosions that releases fumes that are poisonous.
The poisonous fumes would then be avoided as they could also melt skin when it comes into contact with it. The only one that has no problem with these poisonous fumes is Hou Yiwei as his dragon scales played a vital role in keeping him in pristine condition. Hou Yiwei did not let the Horseman of Pestilence to go away from him because he knows that the enemy will overpower him at longer range.
This is also one of the reasons why he made sure to have quick vanguard team members. Solstice and Lycan are perfect to gap close against the Horseman of Pestilence as they are the quickest after Vayu. Hou Yiwei wanted to get Vayu at first but decided that he is needed for Adrian's team. He is not heartless that he would not think about another team because he is also a great leader despite his competitive nature.
[The Horseman of Death has been slain.]
When the group received that notification, Hou Yiwei immediately became more aggressive. He wanted to become more aggressive because he also wanted to quickly kill the Horseman of Pestilence, but he also knows that a horseman will get more powerful with the death of others. He wanted to finish off the last horseman before she could take in the power of the fallen one.
"Flaming Cross!" Hou Yiwei stated as he swiped using both of his swords.
Each sword created a flaming energy wave that combined to create a cross. The combined cross magic attack hit the Horseman of Pestilence as she was in a trance like state for a few seconds. The group knew of this, and it is usually the sign that the power of the horseman has increased.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Flaming Dragon Incarnate!" Hou Yiwei stated as his body suddenly combusted into flames.
The Flaming Dragon Incarnate skill made use of every fiber of a dragon's being as they also burn some of their life force when using this skill. Hou Yiwei has become fire incarnate and charged towards the Horseman of Pestilence. Solstice knew what she needed to do as she created numerous blood whips to hold the Horseman of Pestilence in place.
Lycan would then maul at the steed's legs to make sure that they will not be able to quickly escape. Soleil and Faust agreed with each other and chanted a spell at the same time. The spell they used is Flaming Prison which is a legendary tier spell.
All the spell does is create a sphere where one can trap anyone that they desire. The target for this Flaming Prison is none other than the Horseman of Pestilence. A cool and unique feature of the Flaming Prison is the fact that any being of fire will just pass though it. Hou Yiwei fitted this category as he bypassed the Flame Prison and directly released a powerful blast of fire elemental magic.
When the Horseman of Pestilence made contact with the flaming Hou Yiwei, her whole body exploded into a poisonous fume. It seems that one of the ways that the Horseman of Pestilence thought she could escape is by becoming the noxious fumes herself. The noxious fumes would then be ignited by Hou Yiwei as he breath in draconic fire inside the Flaming Prison.
Since the body of the Horseman of Pestilence has become poisonous gas, Hou Yiwei just thought that all he needed is to make sure that the other party explodes. Hou Yiwei pushed all the draconic fire in his body to create an all-new spell that he can use in this form.
"Supernova!" Hou Yiwei stated as his body exploded into vast amounts of energy mainly of heat.
The anguish screams of the Horseman of Pestilence could be heard. Since she was not in solid form, the death of the Horseman of Pestilence became an immediate disintegration. Not even a speck of her body reformed as Hou Yiwei burned up everything. Even the steed of the Horseman of Pestilence became nothing as it also had the same fate as its master.
[You have slain the Horseman of Pestilence.]
[You have received tremendous amounts of experience points.]
When all of them read the notifications, they cheered but that is short lived as the Dragon of Revelation suddenly became berserk. All seven of its heads have eyes glowing in red due to immense rage. They did not care what the Dragon of Revelation did but they noticed that the two horsemen did not drop any worthy items which means that they have yet to truly win against them.
