Omega Summoner
1089 Horseman of Death Raid I
Adrian saw that the others were not easily stepping inside of the portal as they are still wary. He gest that they should be wary at him, but they do know that this raid will be streamed. He knows when to behave as he is not some sort of brat that will double cross anyone. He stays true to his word as he was raised with proper conviction.
"They seem a bit wary about entering. We apologize for that." Siegfried stated which surprised Adrian. Despite his robust exterior, Siegfried is actually a very mellow and kindhearted man albeit full of passion. Adrian smiled and told them not to worry as he will easily solve the problem.
"Since none of you are stepping into the gate then do not blame me. Hold tight and use your core strength to the best of your ability." Adrian stated as he waved his hand in a horizontal motion.
When Adrian waved his hand, he enlarged the portal to its utmost. It then moved to his intended direction as it swallowed all the elite members of the three guilds. The players did not easily hear what Adrian said as they all got forcefully transported to a land of snow with their faces buried in them.
Adrian giggled at the sight as he did not think that they would think that he cannot move the gate just because he was only one demon. They did not know that he was still a greater demon and if he were to ascend to become an Arch Demon then the wonders that he could do will increase as well.
Adrian did not doubt the capabilities of anyone that is gathered here though as he could see that their auras are different. His evil eye that could distinguish souls are also great enough to see their personas. About half of the players in this raid are all those that have increased their personas while some are at their bottlenecks.
"When we succeed, they might achieve that awakening though." Adrian thought as only a few people know about things such as personas, but the elite guilds will definitely have an inkling about it. Since this is also their best team members then they are aware of that fact but might not know the term. After all, the term Persona is not in the character status card.
"Why did you not use the aerial method?" Levin Cloud asked as he was the first to enter the portal that leads to the northern continent.
"Ah! I can now perceive the other end of the teleportation coordinates by a bit. I have mastered the fundamental use of Origin magic which is why I now have better control. Plus, we got paid heftily so we must be the ones that give the best service." Adrian stated in reply with his chest pumping up as he feels proud of his achievement.
The Horseman of Death is not an easy opponent and they have already found out three of its deadly attacks. One attack skill that deals purely physical damage, one magic damage skill that can heal it back to full health, and one mixed damage skill that can execute those that are low in health.
The first skill that the Horseman of Death uses will use his large scythe to cleave in a conical area. Those that hit by the attack will instantly lose 30% of their maximum health. If this skill will kill those that are attacked, then it will empower the Horseman of Death per death.
The second attack that the Horseman of Death uses is an area of effect magic attack that can plunder the energy of souls in the area. It is a channeling skill that will absorb all the mana of living creatures in the area in a ten second duration. The affected living beings will then be damaged by how much mana is drained from them. This is a deadly attack for those that have higher mana compared to their health such as mages.
The mixed damage skill is basically the Horseman of Death sending mirages of itself to all living beings in the area. If the living being has more than 40% health in their health threshold, then they will not get executed but will be dealt with a flat 20% maximum health reduction.
Players that were also executed by this skill are finding that their resurrection timer having increased. Some players learned the hard way that your character has a chance of being deleted in existence when you die numerous times to any of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The chance seems to be higher for the Horseman of Death.
This also made some players wary of going against the any of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but greed manifested when they learned of the item that drops upon the death of any horseman. An item so powerful that it could basically break the game like the Heart of War might drop from killing powerful raid bosses.
"Still, this place is a mess though. Scouts, please go and see what happened here earlier." Anastacia stated as she tried to create a map using the Memory of the Earth skill.
"Why do not have that skill?" Adrian asked teasingly.
"I needed to choose between that and the ability to control forests. Which one do you think I need? I can just ask the trees here for information." Levin Cloud stated as he started to walk to a nearby tree, but Adrian stopped him.
"Why are you stopping me?" Levin Cloud asked.
"You do not need to because I have the solution." Adrian stated as he took out a talisman.

------
"Seriously! Who makes these descriptions?!" Adrian muttered as he used his mana to use the talisman.
The talisman suddenly burned in blue light as it became particles of light. The people that he shared the vision with are the three guild masters and Levin Cloud. The area is all forest so he must also know what happened in vivid detail.
When Adrian used the talisman, all those that could view the rewound happenings are shocked. Adrian explained to them that they are seeing some sort of illusion manifested by the talisman he created. The scenes that they saw shocked them to the core as the Horseman of Death killed the great warlord of the Glacial Barbarian tribe.
They could see how the Horseman of Death strangled the great warlord and sucked him dry of his life force. Even ash did not come from his body as it all became energy for the Horseman of Death which made the guild leaders shudder. The only one that questioned the action is Adrian himself.
Adrian felt that the Horseman of Death seems to be moving with intent. Back when they first awakened, they were only influencing small areas but the damage that they could inflict will be kingdom wide if they are to keep growing their powers.
What Adrian found even more worrying is that the Horseman of Death carves something on the ground using the blood of his victims. The mark vanished immediately after it was drawn as if it was absorbed by the ground. Even Adrian could not pause and look at it as they were only shown the image once and it was not a video anyway but something like a live retelling.
"This is worrying. I think we might not be able to kill that thing. It has become stronger." Ain stated.
"We already told you that we will deal with the special ability of the Horseman of Death." Adrian stated.
"You said that the Horseman of Death picks his victims." Faust stated as he was already relayed about the information.
"He does. In fact, you could say that he has a penchant love for strong souls. Did you not recognize that the Horseman of Death always went for those that have shining souls? He also has an ability that can see through the weaknesses of anyone that goes against him. If you know your weakness, then you would be able to defeat it.
The only reason why the swarms of undead players failed before is that they do not have the weakness of the casual player." Adrian stated.
"What kind of weakness?" Siegfried asked.
"Life is the weakness of any player. Undead players are basically in the middle line of dead and alive, but they lean to the former." Adrian stated.
