Omega Summoner

Malach stopped his descent and promptly got some distance from Solstice. He could no longer afford to be careless in front of the woman in golden armor in front of her. She hit him using a weapon, but he could not see which weapon as he can only see her floating as a golden armor.

“You wench! What did you slice my glorious body with!?” Malach shouted as his wound is not healing immediately which was strange. He is almost impervious to slashing attacks as he has already completely assimilated with the body that he received a few centuries ago.

Even angels need compatible hosts in order to fully assimilate in the mortal realm. If not, then the body they possess would rot or explode from the power that they have. It is basically their anchor to the mortal realm since they were spiritual beings.

“If you are shouting like a deranged animal then it must have hurt. Do not worry as I will have your head.” Solstice stated as she created another sword using her blood.

“Do not be too confident, you wench!” Malach stated as he conjured a hundred swords made of light.

Solstice saw that her opponent is almost like her, but he uses mana to create weapons. She uses the blood of anything around him, but angels do not bleed as much as she thought. She slashed him at the back deeply, but Malach’s blood did not even splatter.

“To think that you are a bloodborne. No wonder your attack stings a bit. We thought that we have completely purged your existence, but it seems that we need to search one more. We need to cleanse this world of the impure.” Malach stated as he launched all the swords that he created towards Solstice.

Solstice did not back down and instead use more of her blood to create five small circular blood red shields. The five blood red shields would block attacks that were sure to hit Solstice as she charged towards Malach.

Malach did not even flinch or try to escape from Solstice charge. He just conjured up more swords made of light and attack using a barrage of those. Solstice had no choice but to transform her sword into a shield and block the numerous swords of light.

“Pathetic.” Malach stated as he could see that he is now overpowering Solstice.

“He can conjure up that much and his mana is not even getting reduced.” Solstice stated as she could see that her opponent is not even using mana.

Name: Malach

Level: 220

Health: 93%

Mana: 100%

She could clearly see that her opponent is not even utilizing his own mana. It means that he has an ability that lets him use the mana in his surroundings, but she does not know the condition for it to activate. She is usually not informed of things like this as she only thought of Pandemonium as a hobby or a past time.

She started learning more about the game the moment that she lost miserably to an NPC. She died to the NPC more than five times and also noticed that her opponent was not losing mana. The spells that her opponent used basically made it difficult for her to even come close.

Feeling the frustration, she dedicated more time to learn of her opponent, but she still lost. In the end, she turned to the forums, but no one has enough battle experience with NPCs that do not utilize their own mana. She decided to ask her brother about it as he had more gaming experience than her.

“An opponent that does not use their own mana. If it is like that then there should be special conditions if they do not use mana when using spells. For example, a lich has their life vessel to collect mana for them in their stead.

In exchange, the lich cannot move far from their life vessel as it has part of their soul inside and their weakness. If you find an opponent like that then your first option would be to scout the surroundings for special items.” Adrian’s voice ringed in her head.

Solstice looked around and noticed that nothing special is around them. Even the other angels did not have the same ability as Malach as they used their mana compared to him. Angels do not even use life vessels which means no item is holding a part of their soul to siphon mana for them.

“If there is no special item then there must be a condition for them to use mana. Even gods need to use their own mana to cast spells and such which means people who utilize the mana of the surroundings have pre-requisites.” Adrian’s voice ringed once more in her head.

“I just need to find that condition in order to defeat this arrogant prick!” Solstice thought. .𝒎

She charged recklessly towards Malach to see the special condition up close. Whenever she tried to get close to him, Malach would create more swords of light and push her back as if he is afraid of Solstice getting near him.

“Why is he not letting me near him?” Solstice thought.

An hour into the fight, Solstice could see that Malach was also moving slowly away from something. He was not in that position an hour ago. She also noticed that he cannot conjure up swords of light when he slightly moved which made her breathe a little.

As she is pondering on why Malach moved, the shadow cast by the bean stalk suddenly fell upon her. Upon noticing the shadow of the bean stalk covering her armor, she finally had an epiphany on the special condition for Malach to continue creating swords of light.

“I still have 75% health from fighting as he is not going all out against me. I need to force a chance of testing my theory on how he is not using mana..” Solstice thought as she sacrificed 15% of her health to create a hundred weapons made of her own blood.
