Chapter 2073: Terror of the Skies
"Should we even fight for the first spot? We all know who will be the one that gets it anyways." Creepysoo stated.
"My brother told me that he will not be part of the ranking to encourage other guild members to do their best. Also, you can say that this will become the unofficial ranking of strength against all of the guild members." Solstice stated.
"If that is the case then it will be this old man\'s time to shine. The enemy is flying after all, and I am part storm elemental now." Vayu stated.
"I will be the one that will defeat the giant bird!" Soleil stated as she is now surrounded by two greater fire elementals.
"The army of the dead will be the one that will bring forth victory!" Creepysoo added as he was trying to look cool by making a pose with his hand covering half his face.
"I can also fly as well. This might my time to shine." Kabrakan stated as he also has an armor that can aid him in flight.
"I guess all of you are lucky. I cannot fly like all of you, but I will still do my best. I only have Levin Cloud as my companion when it comes to being flightless." Lycan stated.
"Me? I can fly though." Levin Cloud stated but the others looked at him with eyes full of judgement.
"I will fly with him because he will ride me!" Peridot stated which suddenly made Levin Cloud blush and the other cough.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Be careful with those words as some might misunderstand." Levin Cloud stated.
"Where is big brother anyways?" Creepysoo asked.
"He is currently having a meeting with the guild masters that want to participate." Solstice stated.
Meanwhile, the other guild members were looking at their guild officials thinking that they were having a very serious meeting.
"It seems that the primordial beast this time will be difficult. You can see that all of the guild officials are talking seriously." Amelia stated as she was talking with other guild members as she wanted to have a small break.
"I can tell you that they are not doing anything like that." Apolaki stated as he also wanted to battle with a Primordial Beast because the southeastern area is a land filled with sleeping primordial beasts and he wanted to at least have a gauge on where he scales against them.

"I guess that is all that I will be saying." Adrian stated as he finished giving the rundown of the rules of the raid with the other guild masters.
Adrian told them that they will be given the same access in Avalon like any other player. They were also promised by Adrian to have the best contributing guild a leaf from the Tree of Life and Death. This enticed the guild masters because a leaf from the Tree of Life and Death is an ingredient that can create a revival pill. This was just recently revealed when an Apothecary was able to create a revival pill that is of the Legendary Tier.
Adrian let one leaf of the Tree of Life and Death be auctioned off as the Church of the Twin Gods needed some funds. The leaf of the Tree of Life and Death is either Legendary or Mythical Tier. Adrian only let a Legendary Tier leaf be auctioned off, but it created such a stir when a revival pill was created using its leaf. He was even bombarded by other guilds to sell them the leaf directly, but he promptly refused them all as he is not the one to decide.
He also knows how the market works, and it might lead to other people trying to sneak inside of the sanctuary of Avalon. There were some NPCs that tried to enter the sanctuary, but they all became fertilizer for the Tree of Life and Death in the end. It is not just the players that wanted the leaf but also the NPCs that heard of a miracle revival pill.
"It is such a headache when they are already losing their minds when the health upon revival is only around 5% to 10%." Adrian thought.
Still, Adrian found another bargaining chip that he could use when it comes to dealing with other guilds. Piggy Bank is also extremely grateful to him as the merchant guild in Avalon is raking in lots of money thanks to his cooperation. Adrian is thankful because the merchant guild also supports Avalon when there are times of turmoil like now.
"Do you really have no idea when the primordial beast will attack?" One of the guild masters asked.
Before Adrian could even answer, a powerful force suddenly struck the barrier of his territory. Adrian suddenly vanished from his location as he released bloodlust towards the primordial beast that attacked his territory suddenly. He is not the only one that reacted as the three elders were now beside him as they hovered above the Tree of Life and Death.
"These old bones will be exercised once again." Elder Ascalor stated.
"You should retire but I am sure so that I can retire as well." Elder Koronn stated.
"Both of you know that we cannot retire yet." Elder Bronx stated. "Seeing that all of you are joking means that all of you are not afraid." Adrian stated. "Afraid? You can even call it excitement as I can finally let loose." Elder Ascalor stated. While Adrian and the elders were talking, the Ziz is finally revealed to all of the players and even NPCs in Avalon. The players have yet to know what it looks like because all the images that captured it was blurry. They finally see the real form or rather the tainted real form of the Primordial Beast of the Skies.
[The True Ruler of the Skies has arrived in your territory.]
[All of your citizens that cannot battle have already evacuated. You have gained Security
points due to your great sense of duty to protect your denizens.]
[The Tree of Life and Death has reacted to the ill intent of the Primordial Beast Ziz.]
[All beings that will be in combat with the Ziz will gain increased health, mana, and stamina
regeneration.]
[The Tree of Life and Death has given all beings that will go against the Primordial Beast Ziz the buff of Silent Death.]
[You have been given the buff called Silent Death.]
[Your critical strike chance has increased by 5%.]
[Your critical strike damage will be increased by 50%.]
[You have gained a 1% chance of instantly killing your enemy.]
[The Tree of Life and Death loves all the beings that try to protect it. All beings protecting it will not be able to hurt their allies stray spells or attacks.]
A sudden rush of powerful gold and purple energy emerged from the Tree of Life and Death. The Tree of Life and Death made sure to give its blessings to all of the beings that are trying to protect it because it can already see the massive army hidden behind the dark clouds. The Ziz flew up high and flapped its four massive wings to part away the dark clouds that were filled with miasma. Behind the dark clouds was a flock of numerous bird type monsters that were equally powerful in their own right.
[The Ziz has used its power as the True Ruler of the Skies to amass an army of winged
monsters.]
[Defeat or subdue the winged monsters in order to weaken the Ziz as it is drawing power from all of the winged monsters it has under its control.]
The players could only have their jaws drop because the sheer number of flying monsters was
too many to count. The skies above Avalon were filled by different winged monsters and some were even quite rare. Not only will they get rare loot, but summoners could even capture rare flying monsters for themselves or to sell as mounts. Even Adrian wanted to start sealing some monsters as flying mounts are very in demand.
"I already know what you are thinking, brat. Do not even try to take off your mind against the battle because that thing shattered the first barrier just by ramming its body on it. We only have two barriers left and if those get shattered then it is all over." Elder Ascalor stated.
"I know as I am also incredibly mad at it! Do you know how much money was used to create that powerful barrier! I will make sure to pluck every feather from that damned bird!" Adrian stated as he was suddenly slapped with the fact that he lost about a hundred thousand gold.
