Chapter 2082: PANIC!
Chapter 2082: PANIC!
A loud noise that sounded like an entire legion of beasts and monsters are roaring and snarling could be heard but it all came from Old Man Pann's ocarina. The sound might not be harmful to his allies, but the enemy monsters are another thing. As soon as the enemy monsters heard the sound, the already frenzied monsters turned manic. All the enemy flying monsters that were in the area suddenly started to bite one another as if they were possessed by something.
[All enemies have been affected by Panic.]
[All enemies will be confused for 20 minutes.]
[All confused enemies will have their defenses get reduced by 30%.]
[All enemies will now attack their own allies first as a result of being affected by Panic.] The chaotic battlefield that is due to the frenzied flying monsters suddenly became even messier. It was not messy for those that are defending Avalon though as the enemies that were fighting them suddenly turned back and started destroying each other. The effect of Panic was absolute to the point that the players that were having a difficult time suddenly got a breather.
The most interesting interaction would be from the remaining mythical tier flying monsters. The Flame Phoenix, Sparking Thunderbird, Thousand Vibration Hummingbird, Rendering Mist Crane, and Evil Dark Sun Raven suddenly turned towards the Ziz with burning aggression and confusion. All five remaining elemental birds charged towards the Ziz in order to attack it as if their internal rage for it was activated due to being enslaved.
"Insolent fools!" The Ziz shouted as it suddenly flew higher up in the clouds, but all five elemental birds were there to stop it.
The Flame Phoenix created a powerful flame vortex that singed a part of the Ziz' feathers. The Sparking Thunderbird released a powerful blast of lightning from above which made the Ziz fly lower as part of its body was momentarily paralyzed. The Thousand Vibration Hummingbird released numerous sharp leaves that vibrated at a high speed which tore through the defenses of the Ziz easily.
The Rendering Mist Crane already scattered mist in the area and clouded the vision of the Ziz so that it will not be able to easily detect the attacks from other mythical tier birds. The Evil Dark Sun Raven spewed dark flames from its mouth that decreased the defense of the Ziz but also applied negative status effects. The Ziz finally realized the being that made all of this possible because there was a special being amongst the Daemos back then.
A Daemos that was the offspring of a Dryad Queen and a normal Imp. The offspring of the union between the two said to have birthed a special Imp that had small wings that made it almost unable to fly but he possessed something powerful. The Imp that was born from that union is said to have the power to summon the most primal force of the universe to inflict on all of those that dared go against it. He was named after the primal force that he could render thus he was named Pann.
"To think that demon was still alive!" The Ziz thought as it tried its best to deal with all of the other mythical beasts that came for its life.
It is not just the mythical birds that are attacking the Ziz as there were others that are doing so. The skies were filled with the massacre of flying beasts. Some even drop down to the ground with barely any life left and players only needed to finish them off. This became an incredibly fast way of getting contribution points as a lot of enemies were dropping like flies. "It is still quite vicious whenever the old man uses that skill." Elder Ascalor stated as he returned with a few scratches since he was also saving some of his strength while battling earlier.
"I was enjoying the battle when I suddenly heard the infamous war cry of the old man. I guess he wanted this fight to be done at a quick pace as we will lose to a war of attrition after all." Elder Bronx stated.
"I did not like my battle as leaves are now stuck in my coat and hair." Elder Koronn stated as he started to clean himself from the aftermath of his battle.
"How long will the effects of what Old Man Pann did last?" Adrian asked as he looked at Old Man Pann and one could see that he was tired just by using that skill.
"Half an hour at best but for those mythical birds are a different duration. We hope that 15 minutes will be the minimum, but the old man is not in his prime. The effects might wear off soon which is why we must kill all of the mythical birds along with the Ziz during that short time frame." Elder Ascalor stated but even he thinks that will be difficult.
"We can do Void Crusher." Elder Koronn suggested.
"We can actually do that, and it might destroy all of those enemies at the same time, but it will take time and that Ziz might notice." Elder Bronx stated.
"Leave it to me. Sirius use Samael's Domain." Adrian stated as Sirius howled.
Sirius released his domain, and nothing changed if one just looks normally. The sudden density of mana in the area doubled but the Ziz would not be able to sense this sudden shift as it was busy fighting with the other mythical tier birds. Adrian also hid the elders from view but also made mirages of them doing fake fights. Seeing such great illusion, the elder started chanting the spell they have agreed upon.
The Ziz might look like it is struggling against the other mythical tier birds, but it was actually winning. The Ziz might have gained some scratches, burns, or destroyed feathers but it was still battling at full power. The other mythical tier birds were the ones getting destroyed by the Ziz as the wounds on each of them was incredibly horrible. The Flame Phoenix could be seen having parts of its flames smothered.
The Sparking Thunderbird's beak was destroyed, and it could no longer fly as fast. The Thousand Vibration Hummingbird has wings that were destroyed which is why its flight was now wobbly. The Rendering Mist Crane has lost one of its feet and eye which makes it also have unstable flight. The Evil Dark Sun Raven has a large gash on its back that is still bleeding and not recovering.
"You have not come to your senses and dare attack your master. I have no use for all of you that are rendered useless. Return back the power that I have given you. Gale Tempest!" The Ziz shouted as it used a powerful attack.
A powerful tornado suddenly exploded from the Ziz which destroyed all flying monsters that were legendary tier and below that were around it. The mythical tier monsters were also blown away, but they were still alive. All five of them just plunged down to the ground as they are now prey for the players that were waiting there. The Ziz then absorbed more nature mana in the area and recovered 10% of its health instantly.

It is one of the first three primordial beasts to be created by the world and lords over the skies with its other two cohorts, the Leviathan and the Behemoth, ruling over the sea and the earth respectively.

The Ziz would have recovered more health but the debuffs from the Evil Dark Sun Raven affected its healing. The dark elves also casted a curse on it to negate most of its healing or else it might have healed back to full health. Seeing the Ziz recover its health, Adrian needed to take action immediately. Adrian appeared behind the Ziz via his mirror armament and also created five other mirrors for his soulbounds to appear next to him.
He then changed to his axe armament to try and take down the Ziz. It would have been a good try, but the Ziz was still faster and stronger than Adrian despite the debuffs. The Ziz just twisted its body in an attempt to bite Adrian using its large beak. Adrian tried to escape using blink, but the Ziz suddenly released a burst of miasma that made his body unable to use mana
for a moment.
"I think I am going to die." Adrian thought but a powerful beam of light suddenly hit the chest of the Ziz at just the right moment. That powerful beam of light came from the middle island of Avalon and it was fired by none other than Saena.
