Omega Summoner

Chapter 1535: Twenty Minutes are Up

The hair strands of the Distorted Goddess of Life Manika moved like swift strings floating the air, but they were in fact deadly. With just a few strands, she could easily cut off a human body into nothing. She made use of this strands to destroy the starlight arrows that were raining down on them. She did this without even batting an eye while she also released some of this towards Adrian as well.

Adrian had no choice but to gain distance as the hair strands can only work in an area near the Distorted Goddess of Life Manika. He safely gained distance and shot his arrows once again, but they were all destroyed against the ultimate strength of the Distorted Goddess of Life Manika.

Still, Adrian can see that he is gaining upper ground because the body of the host for the Distorted Goddess of Life Manika has started to break down.

”Five minutes left.” Adrian muttered as he needed to quickly handle the situation as well.

The Distorted Goddess of Life Manika did not just use her own hair strands as sharp string weapons but also attached it to the bodies of the fallen members of the Followers of Apophis. Frey, who thought that she could join Adrian, is now fighting the number of enemies that she faced when she started. She never thought that a Goddess of Life would be this difficult to face.

One might think that the Goddesses or Gods of Life are the easiest opponents when it comes to gods but that is not true. In fact, the gods themselves hold the Gods and Goddesses of Life in high regard because they are the ones that keep everyone alive. They can choose who will return alive and well when in battle as they play with the strings of life itself.

The Gods and Goddesses of Life were also a big factor when it came to the victory of the Gods of Pandemonium back then. The Dark Gods and Distorted Gods that attacked back then did not have many gods and goddesses of life in their ranks which led to them easily losing forces in battle.

Still, the Dark Gods and Distorted Gods did have great fire power back then which evened the scales, and it was only tipped with the sacrifice of the Asmodians.

The Distorted Goddess of Life Manika is using everything in her power to make sure that all of their forces would live. Adrian suddenly remembered that he lost track of the vessel of Apophis as he was busy looking out for himself. Adrian looked at the back of the purple serpent and saw that the vessel of Apophis and the leader of the Followers of Apophis has vanished.

”The Vessel of Apophis is gone!” Adrian shouted which caught the attention of his allies.

Levin Cloud, who is still possessing the tree of life and death, immediately released his roots once again to sense any form of life in the area. Even he was fooled by the purple serpent as the poison that it released was actually enough to mess with his senses. Creepysoo took on the job of handling the purple serpent with his undead knights as Levin Cloud had to find the vessel.

Levin Cloud suddenly sensed a faint life signal that was swimming towards the shores. He tried to get a silhouette of them, and he saw a snake humanoid carrying something. He tried to send his roots, but they were actually cut off by the Distorted Goddess of Life Manika.

”I am afraid that is not allowed my lovelies.” The Distorted Goddess of Life Manika stated with a smile.

”She planned this the moment she cut off her hair.” Adrian stated as he then looked at the Distorted Goddess of Life Manika.

The Distorted Goddess of Life Manika smiled back at Adrian as she heard what Adrian stated. She already knew that they lost as the weakest line of defense was those in the shore. Adrianʼs allies that were handling the shore were Soleil and Solstice, but they were already caught up with the endless stream of monsters and Followers of Apophis.

Adrian tried to fly towards the shore, but the Distorted Goddess of Life Manika used her hair strings to impede him. He also cannot use spatial magic recklessly as he might tear a hole in the fabric of reality. He looked at the time and there was only three minutes remaining which is why he needed to make a decision.

”Give up, little demon. You will not be able to go there when I am here.” The Distorted Goddess of Life Manika taunted Adrian.

”That is true, but I do not need to go there anyway when I can just destroy the entire area by myself. Andromeda!” Adrian stated as he flew ten meters away and spread his four wings.

A powerful energy suddenly latched onto the arrow that Adrian pulled as it was not only filled with primordial essence but also nether energy. The bow suddenly became bigger as it took in the energy of the universe to empower the arrow. A powerful starlight filled the arrow that crackled in this otherworldly energy.

Adrian released the arrow which create a powerful burst of energy that actually knocked him back five more meters. He had to use his powerful wings to negate the backlash or else he would have flown five times that distance. The arrow filled with powerful energy shot towards the direction that Levin Cloud has pointed to.

The Distorted Goddess of Life Manika tried to use her hair strings to block the attack as she was not taking any chances. All of her hair strings formed into a large cone and rotated in order for it to stop the immense energy inside the arrow. The hair strands were actually able to somewhat stop the attack until a spear suddenly pierced the body of the Distorted Goddess of Life Manika.

The Distorted Goddess Manika coughed up blood as the possession of Seamʼs body started to fade in and out. She did not expect that her barrier would be pierced so easily but she saw a plant being held by Frey.

”Holy Mistletoe! To think that a Valkyrie would use something like that. Where is your honor?!” The Distorted Goddess of Life Manika stated.

”I think you forget that Valkyries win wars. One cannot win war with honor alone as that is, but a foolish notion created by mortals about us.” Frey stated as she plunged her spear deeper into the Distorted Goddess of Life Manika.

The Distorted Goddess of Life Manika suddenly lost control of her hair strings for a moment and the arrow got back on track for its destination. The leader of the Followers of Apophis thought that she was successful as no one noticed that they were heading to the shore.

Just as she was only a few hundred meters away from the shore, she suddenly felt her instinct that was empowered tremble as if death was coming to her.

”Sacrifice your life for my vessel.” The voice of her great god echoed in her mind.

”As the great one wishes!” The leader of the Followers of Apophis stated as she coiled her serpentine body to protect the vessel from the incoming danger that she sensed.

The arrow flew towards the water and exploded in such a powerful passion. The explosion looked like mass of white and gray lights scattered in a large area. The explosion actually took the form of what a galaxy might look like from afar. Those that were in the explosion area were all sent flying and a small tsunami even formed.

The powerful arrow was actually able to carve the ocean waters for a moment before it caved back in. The figure of a serpentine woman could be seen getting caught up in the explosion. The leader of the Followers of Apophis absorbed all the impact in her body.

Just as her great god commanded her, she protected the vessel with her life as her dilapidated body clutching the flesh cocoon was sent flying to the coast.

”Sirius!” Adrian commanded his fastest soulbound to retrieve the flesh cocoon.

Sirius immediately jumped from shadow to shadow and reached the shadow of the deceased leader of the Followers of Apophis. As he was about to destroy the flesh cocoon, a man in his twenties suddenly appeared squatting on top of the flesh cocoon and stopping Siriusʼ claws from destroying it.

”Bad dog!” The man stated as he sent Sirius flying with just a flick of his finger.

”Haha! Of course, that crafty snake would have a backup plan just in case. You have lost this one, but I will make sure to remember you as I will make you into a doll myself.” The Distorted Goddess of Life Manika stated as she laughed before her body or rather Seamʼs body turned into particles of light.

Adrian could not believe that a being as powerful as that was present. Just like that, the twenty minutes that he was promised was up.
