Chapter 2072: True Lord of the Skies II
Adrian immediately informed all of the elves that the target of the primordial beast is none other than the Tree of Life and Death. As soon as Adrian informed them, the elves suddenly burned with passion. Even the easy-going Dark Elves became burning with anger that a primordial beast would dare to touch the majestic Tree of Life and Death. All of them marched towards the center island and casted barriers on it.
"I did no think that they would react that strongly." Adrian thought as he also entered the church and made sure that everything is in place.
He saw that the church elders also took out some of the relics that they were safekeeping. He always wanted to know what those relics could do and now he can see them in action. He then proceeded to go around the territory to look at all of the places that might have a weakened barrier. Some of the players saw him checking the entire territory and the little doubt that they have are blown away.
If everything that Adrian said was a farce, then he would not overexert himself in acting. They knew that Equinox rarely did something in the territory as he has some de facto leaders when he is away. Still, they know that he is not a penny pincher to his territory as one could see small but incremental changes every one or two months. He is someone that will make sure that his territory is flourishing.
Finally, one of the players managed to get the courage and actually walk towards Adrian and ask him directly. The players rarely did this because they thought that Equinox was an aloof player that does not want to interact much with other players. They have a joke about him being the forever friends of NPCs because they can only see him talking to them. The random player that asked Adrian thought that he would get booted out of the territory, but he was pleasantly surprised.
"Yes. The Primordial Beast called the Ziz that is also the True Lord of the Skies will attack the territory. The time when it will attack is not certain but the goddesses that informed me of it said that it will be soon. Is the announcement I made somewhat lacking in description? I guess I did not post anything about the Ziz in the bulletin board yet, but I will get onto that. Is there anything else that you need?" Adrian stated.
The random player that asked is shocked beyond belief because the cold and cool Lord of Avalon was actually quite kind in tone when you talk to him. They always saw and heard Adrian in videos depicting his fierce battles with other people or monsters. They have yet to know that his personality in battle is quite different compared to his normal resting personality. He transforms into a different person in the heat of battle which is not always a good thing.
"Ah! No. That is my only question. Will you offer a reward to those that will participate?" The random player asked as he suddenly panicked that he was asked if he had any more questions. "I have yet to put up the quest. I guess I should or else all of you that will fight for the territory will not be rewarded properly. I should work on that. Thank you." Adrian stated as he headed towards the guild house to see what he could put as rewards and a few minutes later he was able to announce it.

Adrian made sure to create a reward pool that would be enticing but also fair. He is actually thankful to his sister as she was the one that organized everything. She already prepared things such as this beforehand and created a guide for rewards depending on the difficulty of the quest. Adrian even thought that the rewards were not enough, and his sister became stingy but the players outside that saw it would are already foaming at the mouth.
The players that saw the rewards for first place suddenly became greedy as this was the best thing in Avalon. The rarest commodity in Avalon that would even get millions of views when you just upload a video relating to it. The Home Pocket Dimension that less than two hundred have in Avalon is up for grabs. The sweetest message of the quest that they even read is that the Pantheon guild members will not compete with them.
The players that already selected Avalon as their home base is actually quite fearful of the Pantheon Guild members because they are built different. The players viewed the Pantheon Guild members as monsters even if some of them have very odd personalities. They could only attribute their monstrous strength to how weird they are and could only wish to be as strong as them.
"This is my chance!" The players in Avalon burned with passion and hope as they could already envision their own Home Pocket Dimension that they could decorate with whatever theme that they like.
The players that are yet to be full citizen also seized this opportunity to become one. Citizens of Avalon have twice the effectiveness of the buff given by the Tree of Life and Death. The buff giving great health and mana regeneration with an extremely small chance of instantly killing enemies at the same level as you became a hot topic. Some just wanted to aim for the top 100 spots but the competition is fierce since there are thousands of players that will participate. "Now that I made the quest, what should I do next? Oh! There is a problem with flight just as usual as some players will not be able to fly." Adrian thought and instructed the lesser demons to create invisible platforms around the territory that will last for at least a week. Adrian then made sure to check on the other races that live in his territory to see if they are fine. What he did not expect is that all of them volunteered to fight with him. He told them that only those that are at least the strength of a greater demon can fight and he is surprised that there was a lot. Still, he made sure to tell the citizens to not be a hero and prioritize their safety above all else.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"All of the preparations are almost complete. The only thing that needs my attention is the device that me and Amelia were working on." Adrian stated as he entered the guild house
once again and saw a globe like device being tested by Amelia herself.
"Any progress on the experimentation of the device?" Adrian asked.
"The output is still at 200% which is not that much compared to when it was first assembled. I
do not think we can use this in the fight with the Ziz." Amelia stated as she looked like she was
typing in air when she is in fact typing on a virtual console.
"This could be the game changer with the fight against the Ziz. Make sure to adjust it as carefully as you can." Adrian stated as he checked the observation room.
