Omega Summoner

Chapter 2184: Envy Escapes

Lady Envy seemingly provocative display of her skin did not end like what others might anticipate. As soon as she showed more skin, a powerful noxious gas that took the form of a snake surged towards the mountainʼs barrier. The human body that she had looked like it became an empty husk for a moment as the noxious gas is none other than the primordial spirit of the Primordial Beast of Sin, Envy.

The large primordial spirit rose up and slammed its noxious gas body at the mountainʼs barrier which actually formed some cracks upon doing so. The powerful mountain barrier that did not shake even if it was assaulted with numerous powerful bombs cracked under one attack from the primordial spirit of the Primordial Beast Envy. The mountain barrier that cracked could be seen slowly healing but all of the assailants started to focus their bombs on that part.

”To think that a weakened primordial beast dares to invade the Sanctuary of the Ryujin. Perish upon the might of the storm!” The voice of Nu Wa echoed in the area as dark clouds suddenly around the mountain.

A powerful storm filled with pure natural energy suddenly rumbled. The storm looked incredibly threatening to the point that even the Primordial Beast Envy had to hide back to her human vessel and create a powerful barrier to protect herself. The storm suddenly rained down lightning towards all those that dared attack the mountainʼs barrier. The Charm Masters tried their best to defend against the lightning but that only made them become the lightning rods.

All the Charm Masters that are chanting the Elemental Nullification Array are burned to crisps as they were the ones that get the brunt of the damage. The protective array that defended the assailants got destroyed in under a few seconds. The screams of pain and agony reverberated as most of the assailants got hit with lightning. Lady Envy thought that she would just need to defend against stray lightning, but she was baptized by an immense curtain of it.

”Arrgh!” Lady Envy screamed in such a high-pitched voice that her usual vocal tone vanished.

Natural energy is one of the most effective ways to damage a primordial beast and Lady Envy just got hit by an immense amount of it. Even the barrier that she covered herself with could not withstand the attack as the eye of the storm is focused on her specifically. Fortunately for Lady Envy, the mana used for that powerful storm spell vanished before her own vessel got burnt to a crisp.

The beautiful kimono wearing Lady Envy could now be seen in burnt and tattered clothes. Even her beautifully arranged hair became all frizzled up as she looked more like a hag than a beautiful woman. Lady Envy used some of her remaining energy in order to restore some of her health and also her human vessel.

”I have done what I promised, and I am out of here! They will soon come anyway!” Lady Envy stated towards Akane as she suddenly coiled herself up in her clothes to turn into a snake.

Lady Envy, in her snake form, looked at Akane as if wanting to say something but she just immediately burrowed to the ground seeing another storm forming. The Primordial Beast Envy ran away as is her personality. She is the type to escape when things are unfavorable towards her. After all, the more envy she accumulates herself then the more powerful she would become.

”I will make sure to destroy you and this mountain when I recover back to my original power!” Lady Envy thought as she escaped.

”That useless snake! She left us to fend for ourselves!” Akane stated as her cool demeanor suddenly vanished as all of the Ryujin before them released Elemental Catastrophe towards them.

Screams poured out as the group of hooded individuals are bombarded with a lot of spells. They even used all of their lifesaving skills and items to prolong their life, but they knew they must retreat in order to live. The only problem is that retreating will also result in death as they were tasked to do something. If they did not do what they were told to do, then they will get killed with the lesser evil being tortured.

Just as another powerful storm is about to release its lightning, reinforcements have arrived for Akane. Formation Masters that are more powerful compared to Charm Masters have arrived and created a powerful shield that defended against the lightning. The Formation Masters still looked like they were hit but a spell as one could see that even they were struggling. Just as the Formation Masters were about to break, Tai handed a strange looking white bead towards Tama.

The young-looking monk stated some form of prayer and the power within the bead activated. The white bead suddenly looked like an unknown power inside of it is activated. One look at the bead then they would immediately realize that it started to blur reality. The image of the bead itself looks like it is becoming pixelated as if its form could not be contained. Tama looked like his hand is suddenly being eaten alive by this item which is why he launched the bead towards the barrier.

The bead is launched by a golden looking avatar from behind Tama. The hands of the avatar could be seen slowly getting deteriorated by the energy of the bead, but it held up long enough for it to throw it. The Ryujin that saw the beadʼs energy immediately felt something unsettling about it. They all launched their Elemental Catastrophe spells on it, but the bead just erased all of the spells that they hit it with.

The bead then slammed towards the mountainʼs barrier, but it did not shatter it immediately. The mountainʼs barrier is connected via the dragon veins, and they are something like veins of the world itself. As if combating a sudden virus that lodged itself in its body, the dragon vein actually expelled all of toxin that Lady Envy affected it with and burst out more power to destroy the bead. Energy constructs that took the form of elongated dragon heads burst out form the ground to destroy the bead.

The dragon veins tried their very best in order to destroy the foreign object trying to destroy their very nature, but the bead is standing strong. The bead turned even more pixelated and erroneous as if it did not have a form of its own. The energy constructs used every bit of their power but all of them would just get erased after a few seconds. In the end, the bead won as it destroyed a dragon vein completely and a pain scream that erupted from the world could be heard.

[A dragon vein has been permanently destroyed from the world. The world barrier weakens even more.]

It was not just the world that screamed in pain as Nu Wa did as well because she tied some of her existence to the mountain barrier to make it stronger. It is like a part of her soul vanished forever which would make her weaker and in pain. The assailants of the Sanctuary of the Ryujin cheered as the barrier that protected the mountain vanished. All of the Ryujin that saw the barrier get destroyed could not believe their eyes, but they could not rest.

As soon as the barrier got destroyed, the assailants charged towards the Ryujins. Some even rode their flying swords which meant that they were Immortals. The Formation Masters used the Elemental Nullification Array even more to help their allies. The Ryujins that were protected by the barrier could no longer freely cast spells as they were being attacked on all sides.

”I thank Master Tai, Master Tama, and Mistress Vixen for helping us in time.” Akane stated as the players that led more troops before them are higher in rank compared to her.

”It is great that we made it in time, but it seems that you suffered a heavy loss.” Tai stated.

”We would have suffered complete defeat if not for your timely arrival.” Akane stated.

”Let us go and attack the pagoda in the upper mountain already. They can deal with the Ryujin here as more are now coming from above the mountain.” Vixen stated.

”Let me just take the Orb of Order. It might be useful later in the fight against the former Creator Goddess.” Tama stated as he calmly walked towards the Orb of Order that became deactivated.

”Why should we be the ones that hold that thing? Why could Amatsu-Mikaboshi not be the one? He was the one that wanted us to get it, but he is giving excuses that he could not touch such a thing. Hurry up, Tama! We must finish this mission immediately.” Vixen complained.

Tama reached out his hand towards the Orb of Order, but he did not feel the sense of dread that came for his neck. As soon as the hand touched the Orb of Order, the monkʼs head was already detached from his body by a scythe wielding demon.
