Hundreds of small fireballs rained down on the battlefield that created chaos on the flow of battle. Tai and Eldritch' battle came t a halt as they needed to protect themselves, but the former used this opportunity to vanish from the latter's sight.

While the others were busy defending themselves under the rain of fire, Tai sneaked towards Adrian and attempted to snatch the Cube of Paradox. He would have been successful if the Cube of Paradox was not sentient. The Cube of Paradox alerted Adrian that someone wants to steal it and the latter immediately teleported it to his location.

Tai knew that he will not be able to get the Soul of Conquest from the player nicknamed the Demon easily. He has a grasp of how the player nicknamed the Demon fought and even he acknowledges that he is not easy to grasp. Battles with or against the Demon are also not many in terms of videos which is why he cannot determine Adrian's fighting ability.

When Tai got the quest to get the Heart of Conquest, he knew that it would be easier since he has an artifact of a god. Now that he does not have an artifact that enhances his skills, he doubts that he can easily succeed as before. He also got that easy win because he caught Eldritch at a time that he was too drunk on himself.

Unlike Eldritch that will sometimes get power trips, Tai knew that the Demon is not like that. He was a calculating fighter with a disposition of a battle junkie. Such people were the most dangerous in his eyes because a battle junkie always loses their stable mind when they are fighting. The fact that the player nicknamed the Demon has this made him such a difficult opponent.

Tai came face to face with Adrian but suddenly blocked towards his left as a giant needle came his way. Tai obliterated the giant needle that came his way and Adrian also noticed this. When the giant needle got obliterated, Seam took a bit of damage as a repercussion.

Adrian could not believe that a player could do that to a soul weapon barehanded. He knew that Tai is powerful since he bested Eldritch in battle, but he also has the ability to damage Soul Weapons. Adrian suddenly created a bit of distance between him and Tai.

"You bastard!" Eldritch shouted as he charged to attack Tai once more.

Eldritch is already getting full of hatred as the person that he wants to face is suddenly ignoring him. He is the one that often ignores people when he defeats them but to get the treatment himself made him unhinged. Eldritch no longer cared if he uses his most powerful ability to make Tai eat dust.

"Elder Star Spawn!" Eldritch shouted which made Seam and Pogrom look at one another and nod.

Seam and Pogrom immediately went away from Eldritch despite the rain of fire still happening. When Eldritch shouted his skill, Adrian could feel reality warp around Eldritch as the latter's body started to twist and turn into unidentifiable masses of flesh.

The whole area that was sunny suddenly became dark and the Fire Rain skill suddenly got cancelled. In fact, all skills in the area got cancelled when Eldritch transformed. The whole area became silent as if a sinister being is coming to their location.

"You owe me kid!" Zhinu stated as she faded away due to the effect of Eldritch' skill.

Zhinu fought against Muramasa and kept the latter at bay. She even managed to shave some of his health. When Muramasa saw that he is finally free from the annoyance of Zhinu, he chose to focus his attention on the transforming Eldritch. Muramasa could feel the immense power attached to Eldritch and tried to consume him.

Muramasa charged towards the transforming the Eldritch with all six of his swords in hand. When he is about to slice through the flesh in an attempt to eat some of it, a gigantic hand that looked like a mix of tentacles and whale blubber clutched on the field boss. The field boss was already damage to some degree but was not in the red threshold.

The giant hand clutched at Muramasa and threw the field boss to the other side of the Ten Thousand Sword Mound as if he was a fly. Muramasa had no abilities to fly in the air, but he does have a sword that can cut through space which he used. He used the sword to cut try and cut through the flesh of the transforming Eldritch, but it was his sword that got damaged.

Muramasa saw this and knew that one sword is not enough. Muramasa combined all of the six sword that he has in an attempt to stop Eldritch from transforming. A powerful force gathered towards Muramasa but all is for naught.

A giant flesh worm with thousands of teeth suddenly sprouted from the entity that is Eldritch and bit off the upper half of Muramasa. The powerful field boss died so suddenly that the others had no time to process it as Eldritch' transformation has finished. Eldritch turned into an Elder Star Spawn which Adrian has seen a lesser iteration of it once.

Eldritch looked like a humanoid hybrid of an octopus and a whale which is not easy to look at. He was a being of pure horror as looking at him could induce confusion. Even Seam and Pogrom does not dare to look at him because his passive also affects his allies.

"My instant death skill was wasted by the field boss but that is fine. I will enjoy pummeling your place to the ground." Eldritch stated as his frustration in Tai has somewhat made him mad.

Whenever Eldritch moved, Adrian could feel the dimension shaking as if he is not a being that should be in this dimension. Adrian felt that the Eldritch he faced back then is drastically more powerful than the one he faces now. Adrian is also feeling as bit thankful to him as he can just ignore Tai at this point.

Eldritch' new form might be bigger compared to before, but he definitely became faster. He was able to easily reach tai's location and punch him in the stomach. Tai is sent flying by the attack and crashed onto the face of the mountain. The Yakshas that should have surfaced due to the large amount of violence cowered upon the presence of an Elder Star Spawn.

"Tai!" Vixen and Tama shouted as they flew to his aid.

The two are no longer being held up by Pogrom as the latter seems to not want to join in the battle. Even Seam, who is a bit battle crazy, did not join on the fight as she just quietly retreated away. One would think that they gave up quickly but Eldritch is an incarnation of destruction right now.

Just one punch from Eldritch can produce a shockwave and applied splash damage. The splash damage does not distinguish between friend or foe. Just being caught in the attack could result in their untimely deaths.

"This is great. I can now get out of here." Adrian stated as he tried teleporting away, but a notification stopped him.

[The Dimension is unstable due to the arrival of an Elder Star Spawn.]

[Using any spatial magic or temporal magic might result in the fracturing of a dimension or pocket dimensions to be created.]

Adrian immediately hit the brakes when he saw that notification as he does not want to end up in the Void when teleporting. He remembered that going there was not easy nor was getting out. He might also not be as lucky as before and end up in an area with enemies that do not have sentience to talk with or reason.

Adrian is about to leave via flying when one of his wings is suddenly struck by an arrow that made him fall down slightly. The sudden jolt in getting hit by an arrow through the wings shocked his body for a moment before he recovered. Tai and Eldritch' group might have let him go but the Hou Yiwei's team does not.

"Hand over the Soul of Conquest or else this gets ugly." White stated.

"It is already ugly. Not more than your face but still ugly. Also, why should I give you this soul? Since when did angels need the soul of the dead? Should you stop me from taking this soul then have the angels ready for war against the Gods of Death." Adrian stated.

White knew that she has no claim to the Soul of Conquest as she was only commanded to do it. Pristina wanted the Soul of Conquest because of some things but she cannot go herself as an entity as powerful as her will warrant the attention of the divine beasts. This is the reason why White is doing this errand as she wanted to prove to Pristina that she is useful.
