Omega Summoner

Chapter 612 - Faceless Arch Priest

As soon as the demigods heard and tested the claim of the demon Ascalor, they all scrambled to attack the dark god. They wanted to be the one to kill the dark god as part of its divinity will surely get shed if they tear its body apart.

The dark god felt enraged that these mere demigods look at it as prey. The dark god could only curse the gods of Pandemonium that sealed its power. The dark god wanted to break the seal now but the attack of the archdemon made it lose most of the power that it gathered.

The dark god also got cut off from its dimension all of a sudden which is why it got slower to accumulate its power. The connection with its divine realm is cut off which is why the dark god had to use the power that it had seeped into the fallen imperial capital.

"Whoever brings down the most heads will become my envoy!" The dark god, Nyarlathotep, shouted to all the candidates that are waiting just outside of the imperial capital.

Becoming an envoy of a dark god like Eldritch will bring them immense power and fame. They have to get the power at all costs as the players that are called the Distorted Ones scrambled to kill their fellow players.

Players who are not the same as normal players or those who are affiliated with the dark gods have the 'Distorted' identifier before their job class. Distorted Warrior, Distorted Mage, Distorted Archer and many more. These job classes are the same as the other classes, but they have different effects.

For example, the Distorted Warrior will gain more armor and damage upon dealing damage to enemies aligned with the 'Holy Gods'. Unlike traditional warriors that gain more armor and damage as their health gets lower because of the damage of their enemies.

The players aligned with the dark gods all joined forces with the faceless monsters and started the slaughter of the ordinary players. Very few players have encountered their distorted counterpart as the players affiliated with the dark gods are more secretive and moved quietly than others. So even have disguises that does not differentiate them from others.

The only downside of the 'Distorted' players is that they do not have as much players as the other side but that also meant that they have stronger skills to balance that out. In the end, the game must balance the opposing forces against one another in order for the game to become enjoyable.

The top guilds all breathe a sigh of relief because Eldritch is not present in the players that are aligned with the dark gods. Some of the famous rankers in the Pandemonium God side is also absent. Only those that want fame, and the top guilds are present in this war.

The battle that was one sided has now shifted to the flow of the dark gods. Even the demigods that are receiving support from the others started to lag. The spawn of the faceless monsters is still the same, but they survive much longer which meant that they are increasing in numbers once again.

Suddenly, one of the players on the side of the dark god that looked like he is a musician, or a bard started to speak. The things that he said seemed so unbelievable because he spouted lies that the Church of Light colluded with the followers of the dark gods. 

"The very church that you all see as the shining light is nothing but a dark shadow that looms to swallow all of you. They have colluded with us in order to bring down one of the great dark gods!" The player spouted.

The player continued to spout the truth and it is actually effective in decreasing the morale of the soldiers because his voice also has a mind corroding effect. The player, who is a follower of the dark gods, is about to speak another sentence when a silver spear that is emanating light pierced his head.

The player immediately died from the attack. The attack is so powerful that the players that are the followers of the dark gods shifted their attention to the one that attacked. They saw a man that has white wings that shined in a bright silver light.

"Angels! The Goddess of Light has sent her emissaries to help us in this battle!" One of the soldiers stated but in truth, he is also like a bard that is planted by the Church of Light to boost morale and increase the image of the church.

"Heretics! Watch what your mouth is saying. No mercy shall be given to those that desecrate the brilliance of the Church of Light!" One of the angels announced.

Three angels are now souring at the sky and started bombarding all the players that are revealing the truth. The players could not do anything as the bombardment is too powerful for them to even stop. Suddenly, a faceless priest that is not like that of other faceless priest grew from the veiny ground.

[A Faceless Arch Priest has been spawned.]

[All faceless monsters in its vicinity will have 10% increase in stats.]

[Defeat the Faceless Arch Priest immediately or else it will summon a Faceless Arch Fiend.]

System notifications immediately popped up when a special monster spawned. Adrian might not be able to see the Faceless Arch Priest directly, but he could certainly feel that and see with his 'eyes' the immense power that it carries. The new monster is actually at the level of the demigods or lesser.

"Die, vile monster!" An angel shouted as it released its spear towards the Faceless Arch Priest.

The attack of the angel is easily blocked with a barrier that the Faceless Arch Priest created. The spear lost power and dropped from the sky. The Faceless Arch Priest then used magic so vile that everyone felt the horrible energy that came from it. A giant magic circle is now set up in the below the Faceless Arch Priest.

"It is a summoning circle!" Adrian shouted as he knows that kind of magic formation.
