Chapter 2071: True Lord of the Skies



"You managed to avoid the strings of fate by literally evading it! Wow! Maybe we can do that as well." Adrian stated.

"We cannot do that now because there are numerous beings in the territory that cannot live in the Paradox Planes. They are not like us that could easily adapt in harsh environments." Elder Bronx stated.

"The boy might be onto something for suggesting that again." Elder Ascalor stated.

"What if we have an emergency measure of transferring the entire territory to a pocket dimension. It will only be temporary as the territory might be unsafe. We are already implementing it as an evacuation procedure so why not have the entire territory do it?" Adrian asked.

"The problem with that is the preparation needed and the caster that will do it. We would need at least a Noblesse that is in full power to lead in casting the spell." Elder Koronn stated as he immediately told them the requirements.

"We have no choice but to engage the Ziz in direct battle. I already told Aernas to mobilize all of the demon eyes around the territory. They would immediately report if that gigantic bird would swoop down or get close to the territory." Elder Bronx stated as he already messaged the observation team too look for anomalies in the sky.

"Do you have any idea on the weakness of the Ziz?" Adrian asked as he knew that any information that can bring them the win is crucial.

"Just like its title, True Lord of the Skies, the Ziz is unparalleled when it comes to aerial combat that even we would have difficulty in battling it in the air. We can only hope that the traps and protective measures of the territory that is installed would at least give us some time. Also, if you want to know more about the Ziz then you should tell Old Man Pann." Elder Koronn stated.

"Right! I almost forgot our cranky resident rancher. Can I entrust the elders about the initial defenses? I will already create the announcement that the Ziz will most likely attack my territory." Adrian stated.

"You can leave the initial planning for the defenses for us. Just make sure that all the noncombatant citizens are safe when the danger does come." Elder Ascalor ensured.

"Thanks!" Adrian stated as he vanished from his location to appear at the ranch of Old Man Pann.

"It is a good thing that he did not ask about the aftereffects of tricking fate." Elder Koronn stated.

"We must not let the kid experience that heavy price if we must. If he experiences that kind of backlash, then he might not recover much of his own energy for a thousand years. We already recovered much of what we lost when we made that decision, and the world is much more dangerous now more than ever." Elder Ascalor stated as he and the other elders continued in setting up the initial defense plans.

Emergency Territory Announcement!

The Lord of Avalon, Equinox, is warning all of its residents and guests that the True Lord of the skies, Ziz, will be coming to attack the territory. The territory lord does not know when exactly, but the Fates have given him the vision of impending doom. The territory lord asked that everyone exercise caution and report any strange sightings of flying monsters to the guards.

Adrian utilized the emergency announcement as soon as possible. The message that he gave made the citizens look up at the sky as if they were now awaiting some monstrous evil come swooping down upon it. The players that read the emergency announcement suddenly froze before they could finally internalize what Adrian has just announced. The announcement became quite the hot topic in the territory of Avalon for a few minutes before it exploded in the forums.

A lot of players suddenly started to post questions and even statements of disbelief in the thread. Some players believed what Adrian said and started to journey towards his territory. The others believed that this is all a ploy from Equinox so that the foot traffic in his territory is increased. There were those that were in favor that Adrian was making stuff up, but majority of the players actually defended him.

The players basically fought the bashers and haters about the statement of the Ziz coming down to Avalon. They defended Adrian as they knew he was not one to joke about serious matters. Most of the players also stated that the announcement is not even a combat raid announcement but a warning. He warned the people in Avalon that there is danger coming and nothing else.

The other guilds that were close to Avalon immediately started to march towards its location while also asking permission from Adrian to stay there. In fact, about twenty guilds have already messaged him about camping near his territory and promised to not do anything while they waited for the Ziz. Adrian has yet to answer them because he is now with Old Man Pann asking about the Ziz.

"It has no weaknesses?! That is not possible! All monsters should possess an innate weakness." Adrian stated as he could not believe what Old Man Pann said about the Ziz.

"It is not that it has no weakness, but its only weakness is not even easy to do. The only way to win against the Ziz is for it to be sent underground. It is a primordial beast that recovers health and mana just by existing. It basically absorbs mana in the air to keep itself from dying. You can say that it is the most natural reviving bird in the world that even a phoenix would be shy about boasting about its revival process." Old Man Pann stated.

Old Man Pann basically told Adrian that the only way for the Ziz to ever be defeated is to trap it underground and pummel it there. There is already a large difficulty in the first step of the plan and the second step is just as difficult. Trapping a primordial beast made of air underground is not a simple feat as this would already fall in the realm of gods.

They could also try the combat approach, but the Ziz would just recover any lost health and mana as long as air is present in the area. Adrian also asked Old Man Pann if any of his powerful monsters would join the battle, but they said that even they will be unable to defeat the Ziz. Bessy might be gigantic, but she does not have the capacity to kill a primordial beast by herself or even with the help of other people.

"Is there really no other way?" Adrian asked as the vision of great destruction upon his territory might actually come true.

"We could try and isolate the space around it, but I doubt that it would let itself get caught. Also, you said that there is a swirling dark mist around it as well." Old Man Pann stated.

"A spatial trap would be the greatest trap we can employ as that would at least cut off its supply of mana in the air. I am not sure what that dark mist was, but I think it is miasma. I have seen dark colored mist like that, and it is often miasma but why would the Ziz be tainted

by it?" Adrian stated.

"Perhaps the myth that the Ziz fell in battle against a Distorted God of Wind was true. If it was sealed instead of dying, then the miasma must have already clouded its mind due to how long it has been sealed. You do not need to worry about miasma thought as you have that tree there. I bet it is also the reason why your territory is being targeted as well." Old Man Pann stated as he pointed towards the Tree of Life and Death.

"The sightings of it attacking towers or any high building! Why did I not think about that?!" Adrian stated as he looked at the Tree of Life and Death.

The Ziz might have an obsession of targeting large spires because it is looking for a place to stay. The reports about the towers being destroyed because of it landing on them might be the indication that it is searching for a nest. The Tree of Life in the territory of the Evergreen guild is not high enough for its criteria while the Tree of Life and Death perfectly fits the bill. "A sturdy, large tree that could withstand its weight and it is also at a great height since it is not rooted directly at the ground as it is in a floating island. If it also has miasma then the Tree of Life and Death would be the perfect nest that it is looking for!" Adrian stated as he excused himself so that he could also inform the elders of the Church of Life and Death about why the Ziz is attacking them.
