Omega Summoner

Chapter 1422: The Other Depraved Man’s Hand I

Adrian could feel that the robed individual is different from the one that controlled the other Depraved Manʼs Hand. The enemy in front of them is actually controlling the Depraved Manʼs Hand instead of it controlling the user. The beam of pure miasma was a testament to how powerful the forbidden artifact could be.

”Found you!” Xing Tian stated as he jumped to the air and attempted to strike the robed individual.

The God Xing Tian managed to reach the robed individual but was met with a powerful barrier that repelled him. He was sent flying towards the other Corpse Legion (Jiangshi). The robed individual as powerful enough to actually send a demigod flying although he is weaker than a normal demigod at this point.

”It is the Finance Minister!” Prince Reishi stated as the God Xing Tian managed to destroy the robe that was concealing the female ministerʼs appearance.

”I see. No wonder they were able to get inside the barrier without getting impeded.” Adrian muttered as he shot multiple arrows towards the finance minister.

”Useless.” The female finance minister stated as she made use of the miasma to block the arrows.

The arrows that were not blocked by physical attacks were melted by the miasma barrier. Adrian could only frown as his modes of attack is suddenly locked. He cannot defeat the enemy in front of him with just normal attacks or his fused mode.

”Limit Break: Summoner!”

”Greater Summon: Dodu”

”Greater Summon: Kimat”

”Greater Summon: Wisteria”

Adrian summoned all of his soulbounds except for Charon as he is currently fused with him. The moment all of his soulbounds were summoned, they were immediately tasked with helping the others. Dodu is the one that would be the key to this battle as it will need to devour the physical bodies of the Corpse Legion (Jiangshi).

Kimat immediately called upon the lightning and the immortals immediately looked worried. It seems that the immortals of the eastern continent are afraid or have traumatic experiences regarding lightning. Kimatʼs lightning is also somewhat different than before as it is now filled with more natural energy and  close to what the immortals call Tribulation Lightning.

Adrian made Wisteria and Yuki guard the seventh prince as he would need to move with all he has. Wisteria nodded and immediately rooted herself in the area as she transformed into a small willow tree. This was the skill she received from Flower Gift called Tree of Protection.

Yuki also created a small protective film of cold air around them to ensure the safety of the seventh prince. Adrian told the seventh prince to stay put as he did not want any mishaps happening. He then shot the arrows to his other soulbounds to make sure that they are also benefitting from the barriers.

The female finance minister then tried to send a beam of miasma to the seventh prince once more but Adrian countered it with Shooting Star. The powerful burst of energy from the arrow repelled the beam of miasma but that also meant that they are at a standstill. Adrian then remembered something as he did receive a new skill and is dying to try it out.

”Heart Flame Summoning!” Adrian stated as he pulled the bowstring with all his force. Instead of a mana arrow made of pale light being drawn, a powerful flaming arrow could be seen manifesting.

The female finance minister could feel that the power behind that arrow should not be released. The Depraved Manʼs Hand is telling the female finance minister to make sure that the arrow will not be fired at all costs. She did not know that the powerful artifact could actually tremble but she did not ignore its wishes.

”Destroy the arrow and the summoner!” The female finance minister stated as all of the remaining immortals under her shot towards Adrian.

Just as the immortals all headed towards Adrian to intercept his skill, a powerful snowstorm suddenly swirled in the vicinity. To add more confusion, lightning started raining down from the skies as the immortals tried to dodge it as they saw those hit become stunned.

”Too late!” Adrian murmured as he released the powerful flaming arrow.

The flames from the arrow actually came from Adrianʼs chest as it was done using the Heart Flame. The loud cry of a powerful avian being rung throughout the imperial city. A massive flaming bird came out of the snowstorm and flew towards the skies with lightning falling down.

It was like a scene from the movies of a powerful god bird rising from the ashes. The Vermillion Bird was summoned to the imperial city at Adrianʼs behest. To make matters in their favor, Adrian actually summoned the actual Vermillion Bird as he was in the eastern continent and the latter answered the prayers of the people.

Adrian would have only been able to summon an avatar of the Vermillion Bird but the collective power of prayers made it possible to summon the real one. As if accepting the huge amount of faith, the Vermillion Bird erupted in a powerful flame that swept throughout the imperial city but it did not burn the surroundings.

The powerful heat wave that the Vermillion Bird released was a healing wave that rejuvenated all the injuries of the people in the imperial city. It also burned the bodies of those that hurt the innocent faithful as a show of strength. The immortals that rampaged inside the imperial city were enveloped in a powerful flame that burned their bodies.

”I have answered the call of my friend and the faithful! Unworthy and defilers shall know my wrath!” The Vermillion Bird stated as she rose through the sky in flames and erupted in great power.

The skies that were covered in dark clouds suddenly started to glow in a bright red color as numerous flaming meteors started to rain down from the heavens. The flaming meteors were the ones that the Vermillion Bird created using its full power as its wrath cannot be quenched by asking for forgiveness.

The flaming meteors not only hit the Corpse Legion M (Jiangshi) but also the other people responsible for the chaos in the imperial city. The loud cries of agony rang throughout the imperial city as the Vermillion Bird swept all the enemies but the female finance minister was safe due to the Depraved Manʼs Hand.

”Retreat!” The female finance minister stated as she used a vast amount of energy to try and escape using the Depraved Manʼs Hand.

The female finance minister used all the remaining energy she could muster to create a gate. The gate was made using the miasma of the Depraved Manʼs Hand and Adrian could feel that the space near them shifted greatly. The enemy actually thought of escaping via a portal when they are fighting a demon.

”Wait a minute!” Adrian stated as he suddenly used Time Stop.

Time froze and the only ones able to move is Adrian but he made use of all ten seconds to seal the spatial rift that the Depraved Manʼs Hand created. He fired numerous arrows towards the rift with spatial energy to shut it off. When time flowed once more, the gate that the Depraved Manʼs Hand created is now sealed shut.

The female finance minister that wanted to enter the gate is suddenly met with a solid structure as she crashed face first. She tried pouring more energy and even used some of her life force but the gate was already sealed shut. She was not going anywhere, and she knew it.

”You actually tried escaping via spatial rift when in front of a demon. I do not know if you are confident or stupid. Maybe a little bit of both.” Adrian stated.

”You may be able to cut off my escape via a rift but I can still run away without you stopping me.” The female finance minister stated but she also forgot about one thing.

All of Adrianʼs soulbounds are now around her as she no longer has any means of escape. She clutched the Depraved Manʼs Hand but she cannot exert anymore power because she used it in creating the Corpse Legion (Jiangshi) army. She can no longer feel any connection with any of the Corpse Legion (Jiangshi) because all of them are now ashes thanks to the Vermillion Bird.
