"Adventurers of the Kingdom! Help me in purging the demon attacking our beloved kingdom and I shall reward you." The Royal mage announced using voice modulation magic as she knew that she will not be able to defeat Adrian without the aid of adventurers.
The players are hesitant to attack Adrian's soulbounds because of his fame. They also do not know the reason why he is attacking the kingdom but the reward from the royal mage is something anyone would want. The only thing that is preventing them from helping is that no notification quest popped out.
Without the quest notification to guarantee their reward, the players are debating where to attack or not. Some of them decided to not bother because no quest notification showed up and they just left the scene. These are the people that have yet to build an achievement or those that have been in the kingdom long enough to know that they will not get a great reward even with helping.
Some players did join the attack against Adrian and his soulbounds. These players are either after fame or those that are hungry for achievements. Adrian did not find them fault as they are players like him, and he would have considered it. There are also those that started investigating why Adrian was in this particular kingdom.
"To think that you fooled some people to help you." Adrian stated as he dodged an incoming arrow aimed at him.
With the arrow making him lose concentration for a split second, the spear also stopped moving in that timeframe. The royal mage immediately crushed another one of her trinkets hanging on her waist as her mana filled back up to full. She then commanded the other mages to maintain the barrier protecting them while she will deal with the demon.
It is not just arrows and magic spells launched at Adrian as some players that could fly started attacking him as well. The most troublesome one is a dragonkin wielding a spear as he almost landed a hit on Adrian's wings. Soon other players with flying mounts or vehicles joined in on the aerial battle.
"Gravity Control: 10 times" Adrian stated as the gravity in the area around him got heavy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe mages are still protected in the barrier, but one could see that they are also affected by it as they are now kneeling. The players that flew suddenly felt their bodies become heavy while those with flying vehicles crashed entirely due to the strain on the equipment. The downside is that Adrian only got left with 5% of his total mana since he applied Gravity Control in a wide area.
"Finally! Be trapped in eternity! Eternal Cube!" The royal mage stated as she finished casting the spell.
[You have been trapped inside the Eternal Cube for a given set duration.]
[You will not be able to use spatial movement while inside.]
[Attacks made inside the Eternal Cube that hit the barrier will increase the durability of the barrier instead.]
[If the durability of the Eternal Cube breaks from the outside then you can get out early.]
Adrian suddenly got trapped inside a cube made of pure mana and the spear just bounced on the outer side of the barrier. It seems that even attacks outside needs to be very powerful to even attempt to break it. He no longer has his transformations so he will not be able to force his way out.
He is really trapped inside, and he could not get out. The only good thing would be that the players could no longer attack him. The bad thing is that the royal mage is now going towards the direction of the facility that his group went to as if she got notified by something.
"Let us try forcing the way from the outside." Adrian stated as he took out two talismans and drank a mana potion to restore his mana to at least half.
The two talismans that Adrian took out are the Epic Tier talismans that he created due to pure luck. He also only created one of each which is why he will have a difficult time creating them again. Unlike what other games do, a created item's recipe is only stored and there are no mastery bonuses even if you create more of them.

"Seriously, who makes the description for the talismans?" Adrian muttered as he activated the two talismans.
The two talismans then turned to ash as they got used up, but the runes embedded on them suddenly transferred to the spear that Adrian controls with his mind. The spear glowed with a reddish aura as its attack damage got increased and it then started to split into multiple spears.
The multiplication of the spear only stopped when all fifty are accounted for. Adrian commanded the spears to point towards the Eternal Barrier. With a flick of his hand down, all the spears came crashing down on the Eternal Barrier, but only small cracks formed. The small cracks then disappeared moments after as mana is supplied on the barrier once again.
