Ervas commanded his summons, as the three otherworldly beings gibbered and twisted monstrously in front of Lucas!
?
Lucas tried to summon more, but he felt like his Mana was already near zero!
He was sure that he had recovered a bit, but somehow, his Mana was now zero all out of a sudden…
No, it wasn't out of a sudden, but Ervas had already been draining his Mana for a while, and he had finally managed to leave him with zero Mana.
With the use of the [Mystic Energy Siphon] Skill, Ervas could drain away from the Health Points and Mana Points of anything he could see that was within 20 meters around him.
Although the drain became slower the more HP and Mana an enemy had, he was able to slowly drain Lucas Mana and Life through the whole fight whenever he got close enough, and Mason's Mana was also near zero as well.
Lucas despaired, like Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, and Shoggoth finally reached him!
"Gyyyyhhhh…! Please, don't! Let's talk things out!" cried Lucas.
"I may forgive your life if you handle Mason," said Ervas.
Lucas's eyes fell into more despair, as he realized that such a thing was impossible if Ervas was going to… do what he had been trying to do all this time to Mason.
"But you… you are going to kill him! Aren't you…?" asked Lucas fearfully.
Ervas looked at Lucas expressionlessly, as he sighed.
"Yes, that has been the plan this whole time. Handle him to me and I will not kill you, this is the last time I will hear your pleas for forgiveness…" said Ervas, he had come to his limits.
"I…. I can't do that…! I can't let you kill my friend! Why can't there be a way for peace?!" asked Lucas.
"Very well then… Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, Shoggoth, do it," said Ervas, as he waved his hand and the three otherworldly monsters gibbered in joy after hearing their summoner's orders!
"Ooobjbjbjbjbj!"
"Bibibiblilililililililili!"
"Shoooooggggghhhh!"
"Get away from me! GET AWAY FROM MEEE!" cried Lucas, as he tried to use a knife to defend himself, but without Mana, he had no way to activate magic, skills, nor techniques, and was left to the mercy of the monstrous, Rank 8 beasts!
The three beasts wrapped their pulsating and veiny tentacles around Lucas and Mason as they began to unleash powerful psychic waves that attacked directly into his mind, inflicting a variety of hallucinations and suffering!
"Nnnnggaaaaagghh!!! NNNGGYAAAAAHH…!"
Lucas began to scream to the heavens as Ervas glanced at him suffer, he began to gather large quantities of energy all around his body, he was going to kill him and Mason with this hit…
However.
BOOM!
A sudden arc of pure yellow light emerged from the heavens, falling over Lucas and Mason, and startling Ervas and his summoned beasts, who all jumped out due to the fierce explosion of… divine energy!
"This is… I saw it before, this is Divine Power?! Is Bestellen trying to intervene again?" wondered Ervas, glaring at the heavens as the arcs of light had already reached Lucas and Mason way too fast for him to be able to break them through his Soul Break Skill.
Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, and Shoggoth were called at Ervas side, as Ervas glared with concern and a wary expression to the two heroes, who have received divine intervention…
Meanwhile, within Hekaton's Divine Realm, the bearded old man seemed pleased.
"Hm, the other might had failed to kill her, but this one should be able to do so in time… This half of her is weaker in terms of resilience… it should be able to die easily…" he said, as he had sent two lumps of bright yellow light, Familiar Spirits he created, directly inside Lucas and Mason's souls, boosting their capabilities and giving them a large pool of Mana and increased stats, this was made through the Familiar Spirit Descent Skill.
Lucas and Mason's souls were suddenly showered with what could be thought to be endless power.
Large quantities of Mana flowed freely through their souls, as their stats were enhanced exponentially.
Additionally, they seemingly gained greater thought processes and even Mason suddenly woke up, although he was already about to wake up because he was releasing gravitational energies around him… however, Ervas had predicted this and had targeted him the most, draining all of his mana so he could feel weakened again.
Nonetheless, this was useless in the end as the two heroes received the divine intervention.
"Mason, you're awake!" said Lucas, as Mason quickly jumped over the ground.
"Lucas… we are still here? Ah! We need to run away!" said Mason.
"You are not going anywhere…" said Ervas voice, as he suddenly warped right before them!
He accumulated thousands of bones all over his body, as he shapeshifted his arm, covering it with Anir's Bone Marrow and a large chimeric beast arm made through Chimera Beast Transformation!
The enormous arm clashed against Mason and Lucas in an instant, making the ground tremble!
BOOM!
"Unnggaagh…!"
Lucas felt his legs being crushed as he was sent flying due to the shockwave, while Mason barely managed to evade, although his eyes flashed with rage as he began to charge his Gravitational Forces once more thanks to the help of the Familiar Spirit Additional Mana.
"Attack!" said Ervas, as he released countless beasts, ghosts, and more from his very body, going all out!
Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, and Shoggoth combined forces to shower Mason with powerful mind-destroying rays of pink-colored light, alongside a barrage of magic projectiles!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Mason, however, roared in anger as he unleashed his Gravitational Domain everywhere, and released enormous beams of pure electromagnetic forces, resembling concentrations of purple-colored lightning!
However, right before that, Legion and Grakgna combined their strength to generate a giant rock Wall covered in many other element barriers, resisting the powerful electromagnetic force cannon beams!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Mason clicked his tongue as he began to charge more power, furiously trying to get rid of the horrible mind-destroying waves released by the summoned monsters, which kept affecting his mind!
Ervas quickly reached his side, as he screamed!
"!!!"
A hear-piercing scream resonated through Mason, crossing through his enormously strong defenses after awakening his cheat ability and getting the mana from the familiar spirit of Hekaton, as he felt the horrendous pain of his soul-shattering a tiny bit!
"Unngghh…! W-What?!" he asked, glaring at Ervas from afar, he had somehow managed to break his soul a tiny bit by screaming?!
This was nothing more than the power of the Scream Skill after he acquired it after evolving and acquiring the Banshee bloodline, he acquired the power to cause damage and special effects with the sound waves produced by his screams, which he added the effects of Mental Encroachment and Soul Break, easily affecting Mason and making him quiver in pain!
However, Ervas quickly fell back as Ivy emerged right above Mason, her enormous body began to slap the entire ground with enormous might, as she used her own body to unleash her Whipping Technique over Mason's entire body, who was barely resisting with his increased defenses thanks to the familiar spirit!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"GRRRYYYSSHAAA!"
Ivy shook the earth, as Mason was overwhelmed once more, at the same time he was beaten to a pulp by Ervas' father!
And talking about Ervas father…
"I am surprised you're still somehow alive."
Jason suddenly emerged in front of Mason who was barely managing to evade or resist Ivy's attacks!
"Y-You…!" said Mason with a trembling voice.
