Chapter 1072
Adrian knew that killing Eldritch to get the Heart of War will not be easy. The great thing is that he is keeping his position posted for all to see. Adrian only took two people with him for the hit and run tactic that they will perform. He took Lycan and Vayu for the operation as the people battling Eldritch faced him head on.
Even the assassin players that aimed for Eldritch did not get to him or are easily seen. It seems that Eldritch or one of his subordinates can detect invisible players. Even five assassin players could not kill Eldritch as they would just get killed after their invisibility runs out. .
Adrian has something that even assassin players have difficulty obtaining and that is the shadow realm. All three of them are currently hiding in the shadow realm which makes detection impossible. The only difficulty is that they have limited vision as well which means they need to be near Eldritch to see him from the other side.
About a hundred or so players try and get inside the abandoned fortress that Eldritch is inside. In fact, he is practically standing on top of rubble, but it was not easy to reach because of the other high ranking followers of the dark god. All that step in the territory immediately gets debuffed as they announced the area as their sanctuary.
The three finally moved near Eldritch and is about to attack him but someone came much faster than them. The player that suddenly attacked Eldritch with a palm strike that sent the latter flying is not known to the world. The player is wearing a bamboo cone hat, or a sedge hat made of lush green bamboo.
He is also wearing some sort of ceremonial fighting dress worn in the eastern continent. The one thing that makes him even more unique is that he is wearing a demon mask. He also has a bell tied on his ankle that chimes a clear and crisp sound every time he moves.
Eldritch did not expect the sudden attack as he was not able to detect it which makes him dumbfounded. The other high ranking followers of the dark gods tried to help Eldritch but the man with a demon mask is not alone. He has two women following her that is unique as well because they are dressed uniquely as well.
The first woman is dressed like a kunoichi, and her chosen weapon is the Sai. She also has a grappling hook tied near her waist, but she has something different as an ace. She can conduct electricity using her body which makes anyone punctured by her Sai get electrocuted as well.
The kunoichi woman could easily kill lower members of the followers of the dark god with one stab. She even held two players of high rank against her own to make sure that her companion does not get ganged up upon. She even used the hook on her belt to pull those that try to get close to her demon masked comrade.
The other woman is carrying a fan with strange runes engraved on them. She is also not human as she is a six tailed fox woman. Unlike the fox clan from the Selvaggians that have silver, golden or platinum-colored tails, she has tails that are dark blue in color as if she is a darker version of them.
She would wave her fan and dark blue flames will envelope those that come near her. She is also the one creating a flame barrier to prevent the other followers of the dark gods helping Eldritch. She did not even show any type of emotion as she has a stoic expression while killing other players. It is not an exaggeration to say that those that died to her were also enchanted by her cold beauty.
Eldritch recovered from the attack but he noticed that the palm mark that the demon masked player did to him has not disappeared. Eldritch is still enraged though as he got hit without hitting back. This has been the first time since he actually been embarrassed.
“What is your name?!” Eldritch asked but the demon masked player did not respond.
The demon masked player is not paying attention to any of Eldritch’ taunts and just continuously attacked. Eldritch tried to fight back but he suddenly noticed that his mana was not circulating properly. He then looked at the notifications that appeared from his system interface.
[You have been hit by the Cleansing Palm.]
[You will not be able to use skills and spells for a duration of five minutes.]
Eldritch did not expect that he will be locked for five minutes but he is also great at close combat. Eldritch took out a sword that looked like a cursed item as it emanated miasma. The demon masked player did not expect that Eldritch will switch to that weapon, but he was not stopping.
The demon masked player touched his seda hat and body doubles suddenly split up from his body. Eldritch could not care less as he knows that they are merely illusions but that is only what he thought at first. Each of the body doubles can deal damage to Eldritch but it was only a miniscule amount compared to the original.
Each time Eldritch killed a copy, it would dissipate in a puff of clouds that will blind him for a second. The demon masked player would use that chance and deal great damage to Eldritch. Eldritch endured for almost five minutes as he counted the seconds of until he could cast spells once again.
“Ten more seconds and then you are dead.” Eldritch stated but he suddenly vomited blood.
Eldritch looked at his abdomen and he could see that it was pierced by a hand in the form of a spear. It was the hand of the demon masked player and Eldritch’ health dropped to a great degree that he died.
[You have been hit by the Subjugating Spear Hand.]
[You have been executed because you are below the damage threshold.]
