Omega Summoner

Chapter 837: The Eight Survivors

A prism of light filled the entire stage which clouded the vision of everyone inside and also those observing the match. The players could more or less see if the do not focus on the beams of light but that would also mean they will not see the directions of the beam.

As the name suggested, Blight of Ruin is an attack using all the absorbed damage of the enemies. The initial attack is that of a beam of light being fired using an eye. The beam of light is not ordinary as it is concentrated light and darkness energy. With the unique effect of disintegration if affected by the attack by more than ten seconds.

The whole altar now looked like a prism that is made of black and white light. The beams of black and white light ended after exactly ten seconds as all the mirrors can no longer regenerate as it is also affected by the disintegration special effect. The mirrors are unable to be recreated when the Blight of Ruin touches them even if it is made using the mana of the caster.

When the black and white light vanished, only a few individuals could be seen left standing. Hou Yiwei, Totem, Frey, Creepysoo, Apolaki, Blade, Sveto, and Pendragon. These eight individuals are individuals are the only ones that survived the attack. The shock in their system vanished as soon as the black and white light also vanished.

The eight did not survive through sheer luck. Hou Yiwei used the draconic barrier which he expanded to make sure that his team members would also survive. The barrier started to break down five seconds in the attack which made his team members decide on who should survive.

They voted unanimously that Hou Yiwei should survive as he would be the best candidate from all of them. He has the God Slayer Bow which meant that he could bring them victory as long as he is left. Even though Hou Yiwei did not agree, he did not want to step on the decision of his team members.

The Twin Blades did their best to stop the beams of black and white light and sacrificed their bodies in order to save Hou Yiwei. He concentrated his form to that of a more humanoid dragonoid in order to conserve more energy. He promised to win as his team members did their best to keep him free from damage.

Totem is the same as Hou Yiwei as he also made himself smaller since a bigger body meant bigger area of damage. Unlike the Chinese National team that unanimously decided, Poison Ivy used her spell called Aegis Blossom. A flower sprouted from below Totem and ate him without him even reacting.

He is trapped inside that bud for ten seconds while notifications of his team members being defeated showed on his screen. He could only respect their resolve for even thinking that type of strategy. Totemʼs team members knew that he would likely sacrifice himself to save them but that would be futile in the assault of the Blight of Ruin.

Frey did not want to be protected but her remaining team members all circled around her. She did not want them to sacrifice themselves and she even resisted. She resisted but soon gave up when she saw the faces of her team members. She might have the powers of the Goddess Freyja, but she will not survive if she tanks all of the damage of the Blight of Ruin.

Her team members would block the beam of lack and white light with their defensive skills or tools. If they cannot block it perfectly then they would use their own body. Their dedication in protecting her made her not look down on their efforts. Her team members are pinning their hopes towards her which means that she should do the same.

Apolaki is a different story as he started to use a spell to make him completely immune to damage for a specific time. He is also supposed to use it with his team members but that would mean he would strain his body doing so. Before he knew it, a magic circle appeared below his feet and swallowed him to another dimension.

Dupe did not even tell Apolaki what she did as she already discussed this with the others before the event even started. They have higher chances of winning as long as the Apolaki survives. The last duty of his team members is to protect Dupe as long as they can so that she can trap him in that other dimension.

The moment he got ejected out of the other dimension is when the Blight of Ruin ended. All he could see are the other seven individuals that survived with him. He did not know what this feeling is as he knows that he has yet to form a deep bond with his team members, but it seems that they value him more than he thinks. Their trust in him must be repaid which is why he looked like a fierce beast.

Blade is also the same as the others because he was protected by the team members. He even protested that Vayu should be the one to survive but his teacher disagreed. He would be the best one to survive if it comes down to it. He is their hope after all. Even the Demon of Carnage felt touched upon the trust that Blade was showered. The Demon of Carnage decided to aide his wielder just this once.

Sveto survived thanks to his immense vitality, but he almost died. If Anastacia did not activate the Mythical Skill Lifeʼs Sacrifice, then he would have died. They will swap health with each other, and they will have 90% damage reduction during the transfer. Anastacia died after the eight second channel time as she got hit by multiple beams of light.

Pendragon also survived because of the efforts of Merlin and Siegfried. Merlin pushed her body to the extreme by trying to warp the mana around them. She sacrificed herself with all she got and Siegfried did the same when Merlinʼs efforts were not enough to fully protect Pendragon.
