Omega Summoner

Chapter 2188: Both Are Chaotic I

Kimat appeared from behind as Adrian placed the summoning magic circle there. Kimatʼs body is clad in this special energy that he possesses and went in for the kill against Amatsu-Mikaboshi. Adrian also made sure to buff Kimat as much as he could and even threw his scythe at the direction of the enemy. Amatsu-Mikaboshi thought that the weapon will never be able to harm him, but he was wrong.

Amatsu-Mikaboshi suddenly felt a deep cut on his right claw as this was the one that he used to fling the scythe away. The fact that he felt pain meant that the weapon was not normal, but he could not focus on it as a large tiger monster is already before him. Amatsu-Mikaboshi focused his sights on killing Kimat and he would have succeeded if not for Adrian controlling the scythe to circle back. The scythe hit the back of Amatsu-Mikaboshi while Kimat hit him with lightning infused claws.

Amatsu-Mikaboshi would have been able to easily block Kimat from hitting him but the sudden jerk reaction from being pierced from behind made him lose focus. Kimat slammed his claws directly at the face of Amatsu-Mikaboshi and actually sliced part of his mask. Behind the mask is a literal void as it was all darkness and nothing else. One could even say that the mask is his face since he did not have a face to begin with.

”Do you think that you could escape from me?!” Tai stated as he transformed his feet to a monstrous form to reach the height that Adrian is currently at.

”I did not forget about you as I am also being mindful. Kanlaon!” Adrian stated as he commanded Kanlaon to blast Tai with another dragon breath.

Tai managed to defend himself from the dragon breath, but he was sent crashing down once again. Adrian made sure of everything in his surroundings as he practiced aerial battle with the guild. He has Kanlaon above him to hit those that try to fly towards him. Sirius as the one that attacks those that get dangerously near him while Kimat is the one that acts as the first barrier against enemies.

”Did you really think that I will not kill you just because your energy is the same as mine?!” Amatsu-Mikaboshi stated as he no longer sealed his strength.

Amatsu-Mikaboshiʼs hair suddenly turned into raging black shadow tendrils while his clothes also changed into a tarlike substance. The only thing that is reminiscent of his previous form is the broken mask that he is wearing. Other than the mask, the body of Amatsu-Mikaboshi has turned fully like a shadow with the mass of tar or black oil. It is not just his form that changes as the energy around him started to heighten as well because the pressure of a divine being could now be felt from him.

”He now has equal power to that of a Lesser God.” Adrian thought as he always knew that the enemy before him was saving his energy.

As long as the world barrier is active, gods cannot exert too much influence on the world. Unless the gods of the eastern continent could create a powerful continental alteration spell like the western gods, they need to play by the current set of rules that is in place. Gods that are faraway from their declared divine territory on the mortal plane cannot get much energy from their believers.

This meant that gods need to condense their current physical forms to be weaker in order to stay longer. They can only permanently stay on their divine territories or sacred grounds as that is where their faith is being collected. If they were to venture outside, then they would need to use divine energy that they accumulated. The longer their metaphysical bodies are away from the sacred grounds then the more divine energy they are saving.

This is why having an avatar is much more useful as they could descend to them when they are needed. Unfortunately for Amatsu-Mikaboshi, he does not have an avatar nor the number of believers. He is siphoning the faith of the Goddess Izanami to sustain himself, but he is now far from the sacred grounds of her believers. He planned to only unleash this form when in a difficult fight against the former creation goddess, but he needed the Orb of Order for his plans moving forward.

”Retre..!” Adrian shouted but he did not finish his words because Amatsu-Mikaboshi was suddenly in front of him at armʼs length.

The sharp claws of Amatsu-Mikaboshi are directed towards his head and he was in a difficult situation to dodge. Fortunately for Adrian, Paradox has the main objective of keeping its master safe. Paradox directly pulled mana from Adrian himself an activated Time Stop. Everything froze in place as Adrian would have thought but Amatsu-Mikaboshi was moving 50% slower. A Lesser God that is only slowed inside Time Stop is basically the perfect nemesis against Adrian.

The sharp claws made of pure chaotic darkness is still in a direct path towards Adrianʼs head. Seeing that the attack is only slowed, Adrian had to use his instinct to dodge and not his brain. He used his wings to block the claws while he tilted his body slightly. Paradox is only able to maintain Time Stop for two seconds as that is the maximum it could do since it cannot freely use the mana of its master even in an emergency, but this was enough to save Adrianʼs life.

Adrianʼs wings blocked the initial attack of Amatsu-Mikaboshi, but it also came with the price of it being sliced through. Adrian screamed internally as he was not out of danger as the claws were still continuing. Still, the sacrifice of his wing was not in vain as the claws of the enemy only managed to pierce his left shoulder and not his head. Amatsu-Mikaboshi would have followed up with another attack, but Sirius and Kimat lunged towards him in order to protect their master.
