Chapter 2186: Rage of an Oni
Tai and Vixen are in shock as Tama suddenly died just like that. His head was sliced cleanly and his body turned into particles of light. They could not believe what they have seen as they knew that Tama has a life saving skill that could block fatal damage and heal his health back to half. They did not know why it did not activate as they always made sure that their life saving skills were active or off cooldown when they go on dangerous missions.
In fact, Tama's life saving skill called Nirvana would have activated if Adrian was not his assassin. The mediator of death has special privileges when he is assigned a mission by a higher being. No one will be able to escape death to those marked by the higher beings that called upon him. All their life saving skills will not activate as a special buff called 'Death Comes For Us All' is given to the mediator of death.
This buff disables any life saving skills and even revival skills as long as they are marked as a sinner which Tama had. The sudden death of their friend made Tai go in rage as he charged towards Adrian with his Oni Masked turning blood red. Adrian did not care about him actually as he felt the dangerous entity that is also charging towards him from the other side. It was an entity that felt familiar to him, but he had another thing that he needed to do.
"Time Stop!" Adrian shouted as time froze in place.
Adrian stopped time immediately and immediately picked up the Orb of Order that just looks like a normal stone now. Adrian would not have been able to easily pick this up if the stone still had some of its original power there. The energy in the Orb of Order is reduced to the point that it can barely be activated in a hundred more years. This was the perfect time for Adrian to sneak it inside of his inventory and get a good glance at the dangerous being that he marked.
[You have picked up the dangerous item that the world has identified. It will be dropped upon death.]
He noticed that this is a dangerous being because it could actually move in suspended time albeit slowly. The masked individual wearing a ceremonial kimono could be seen looking at Adrian with the intent to kill. It actually wanted the Orb of Order that Adrian hid in his inventory for now. Adrian knew that he must survive as dying would mean he will also be unable to complete the quest that was given to him and that title is something that he wants so bad.
"Chrono Boost!" Adrian stated as he boosted both Tai and Amatsu-Mikaboshi's speed to the
utmost.
He then smirked as he vanished from his current location using blink and resumed the suspended time. As soon as time was flowing once again, Tai and Amatsu-Mikaboshi suddenly sped up in their charge speed. Both of them looked at each other as they realized what just happened. Unable to stop their charge, both of them crashed against one another and dealt a good amount of damage to each other.
"Tai! You will pay for this!" Vixen shouted as she used her six tails to attack Adrian by extending them like spears.
"Vortex!" Adrian coldly stated as this is a spell that he already saved inside of Paradox. A black hole immediately appeared right before them and Vixen was the first one that is caught. The tails that she used in attacking Adrian led to her being sucked inside of the black hole as the first victim. Adrian then saw the immortals around him plunging their swords into the ground to anchor themselves and not be sucked in like the others. The Formation Masters were unfortunate as they could not create any array that could pin them on the ground and were sucked inside as well.
"Why is an oni attacking us?" One of the immortals asked.
"Idiot! That is not an Oni! That is a Demon!" One of their immortal companions stated. "Spatial Compression." Adrian added as he suddenly compressed the space that he is in and made all the other immortals get closer to the black hole and sucking them inside as well. "A demon but you are just like me! I can sense it!" Amatsu-Mikaboshi stated as he suddenly appeared next to Adrian and swiped his large black claws at him.
Adrian did not actually see the sudden appearance of Amatsu-Mikaboshi as he did not have any presence. Sirius was the one that parried the sharp claws of the enemies with his own claws, but the former was outmatched. Sirius' claws could be seen as bloody because of the collision of the attacks. Amatsu-Mikaboshi is not his only problem as the raging oni player launched himself towards Adrian as well with enlarged fists.
Adrian had to dodge Tai's attack as Sirius would not be able to defend him. Tai has no maneuverability in the air which is why Adrian easily dodged his strike. Adrian easily did a quick turn and then empowered his feet with the nether energy that he has left. He then proceeded to kick Tai in the stomach which sent him crashing downwards.
"Kanlaon, Dragon Breath!" Adrian stated calmly as he partially summoned Kanlaon's magic circle and the latter's head emerged from it with his mouth opened.
A golden beam of pure light hit Tai directly as he crashed down to the ground even more. Adrian would have followed up with an attack but there was another dangerous being that is trying to kill him. Amatsu-Mikaboshi suddenly released black tendrils from its back to attack Adrian while he was actively combating Sirius. Adrian had to use blink to gain some distance as he felt the danger of those tendrils.
"Why do I feel like he is just like me?" Adrian suddenly muttered.
"Affirmative. The enemy that is in front of you is made out of Chaos Energy that is also present in the master." Paradox stated.
