The floor that got hit by the axe suddenly burst out in a bright light that even enveloped the body of the King of Twilight Hay-lale. All the attacks that were supposed to hit the King of Twilight Hay-lale are rendered useless by the skill. The players finally noticed that this is not just a coincidence as a normal AI boss monster should not have this great battle sense.
They cannot really talk to the King of Twilight Hay-lale, but they could really feal that they are fighting against player rather than an NPC. Even if Pandemonium had NPCs that are very realistic, rankers could still more or less sense that they are fighting an NPC and they cannot mistake a battle against a player with hundreds of PVP matches in their belts.
Even those close to Adrian could feel they are fighting against him. Creepysoo already had this feeling since he himself has dueled Equinox before the actual Pandelympics. He already had this nagging feeling that they must finish off the boss as fast as they could as he could feel their impending doom.
"I just need to confirm if that is really Big Brother." Creepysoo stated as he finally decided to fight in a way when he fought with Adrian.
Creepysoo sent his undead knight towards the King of Twilight Hay-lale to confirm his suspicions. After seeing how the King of Twilight Hay-lale countered each of the undead knights, Creepysoo is now certain that it is really Adrian controlling the King of Twilight Hay-lale.
Even Vayu is convinced that it is Adrian controlling the boss monster as his movements is very reminiscent of the teenager. He also knows how to counter the surprise attacks that he initiates against him. Vayu could not confirm earlier as the number of players clashing made the battle muddy, but he can now accurately tell now that they are fewer of them.
Vayu and Creepysoo only told their respective team members of the information which greatly shocked them. They have yet to fully believe him, but they should have an upper hand against the other players. The upper hand is clearly shown as the contribution scores of the Japanese and South Korean National Teams started to increase at a fast rate.
"So, they have finally noticed. Having friends that can accurately predict your moves is great when they are at your side but a pain to deal with when they are your enemies." Adrian thought as he now did his best to actively defend the attacks that Creepysoo and Vayu are doing against him.
The other teams could also see that the volume of attacks that the South Korean national team and the Japanese national team are becoming increasingly effective. Even the Frey and Hou Yiwei who are the hardest hitters could see that the two enemy teams have realized something, but they cannot point out what that is.
[Your health dropped to 50.61%.]
"Time to deal with the others that are not worthy. Calamity of Dusk and Dawn!" Adrian muttered as he finally activated the ultimate skill.
The King of Twilight Hay-lale jumped to the sky with such height that only a dot could be seen. The next thing that they saw is something like a bright star manifesting in the location where the King of Twilight Hay-lale is currently located.
Upon activating the ultimate skill called Calamity of Dusk and Dawn, the King of Twilight Hay-lale jumped to a height of a hundred meters. The axe became large enough to mistake as a star and then he descended to the altar at such a force.
The moment the axe came in contact with the altar floor, a magic circle that is as big as the whole altar itself manifested. A powerful explosion of light and darkness elemental energy soon followed that enveloped the whole area. Players who cannot defend this skill perished while some sacrificed their lives in order to save their team members.
The powerful torrent of energy lasted for ten seconds and brought the number of enemies down to exactly 30. Just as usual, the King of Twilight Hay-lale could not move due to the powerful recoil of the ultimate skill. The remaining players burst him down until a shockwave happened which meant that the King of Twilight Hay-lale will enter a new fighting stance.
[Your health has dropped to 49.99%.]
"How dare you humans in league with those traitorous gods!" The King of Twilight Hay-lale stated with a colder sounding voice that sounded colder than the longest of winters.
The King of Twilight Hay-lale's body that was only a few inches taller than a human started to grow. The light and darkness elemental energy in the surroundings suddenly started to become chaotic. All of the light and darkness elemental energy is then sucked inside of the body of the King of Twilight Hay-lale that is floating above the air.
[You are now entering Advent of the King Mode.]
The light and darkness elemental energy in the surroundings is completely sucked dry as the world became a bit colorless. The world of Megiddo is no longer as vibrant as it was when they first arrived. They could also feel something terrifying emerging as the light and darkness elemental energy formed a cocoon to envelope the King of Twilight Hay-lale.
The cocoon made of light and darkness could be seen pulsating and even the players could feel it. The pulsating cocoon felt like a heart beating. Each beat sent a reverberating sensation to the bodies of the players. They wanted to attack the cocoon, but it is tagged as invincible which meant that they can only try and heal themselves while waiting for it to hatch.
After about three minutes of waiting, the cocoon finally stopped beating. It also signaled the resting players to get ready for battle as the real Advent of the King has finally started. They knew because the system notified them of the news.
[The King of Twilight Hay-lale has finally stabilized his existence.]
