Thousands of spears plunged the belly of the Dread Dragon. It even looked like a pincushion that was filled to the brim with spears. Adrian was able to achieve this with the cooperation of his soulbounds and Levin Cloud.
[Your party member, Equinox, has destroyed one of the cores of the Dread Village.]
[Cores that needed to be destroyed to show the main core of the Dread Village: 0/4]
[All cores have been destroyed.]
[The main core of the Dread Village is starting to emerge.]
[Destroy the main core of the Dread Village in order to rescue all the pitiful souls that are trapped here.]
All the cores that protected the main core of the Dread Village have been destroyed. A powerful wave of energy came from the large mansion in the middle of the village. All of them looked at the source of the energy and saw that the mansion started to emit a strange aura as it is filled with the howl of numerous souls.
The entire area started to have the sound of wailing souls all around which made the atmosphere immensely heavy. The entire mansion is now covered in a specter like aura that made everyone's skin have chills. The entire mansion could be seen coming alive as this specter like thing created hands and a mouth for the mansion.
[The Dread Village Core, Dread Mansion, has appeared.]
[Due to the special condition of the Dread Village, the Dread Village cannot live this space and you cannot leave as well.]
[Defeat the Dread Village Core, Dread Mansion, in order to destroy the undead that has sucked all the life in the surrounding area.]
[If you lose, the Dread Village will finally evolve into the Transcendent Tier undead called the Dread Capital.]
All of them immediately knew that they must defeat the opponent now as they are basically going to be food for it to evolve. All four of them are individuals that have unique energies inside of them and that means they are perfect sources of evolution for monsters that are almost about to breakthrough.
[The Dread Mansion has used Dread Eater skill.]
A notification suddenly popped up which put them on the defensive as the Dread Mansion started to use one of its special abilities. The Dread Mansion opened its mouth wide which is actually its main door and created a powerful vacuum that sucked in anything in front of it. The group thought that it was trying to devour them, but they noticed that the suction as not even powerful enough to lift them up from the ground.
What the Dread Eater skill did was not eating them but the Dread that they have. The bodies of the four started to emit this unknown dark purple aura that looked like smoke. All of them could feel this energy leaving their body and making their bodies lighter.
[The Dread Mansion has started to eat the Dread Energy that has accumulated from your body.]
[All stacks of Dread have been absorbed from your body and is now free from it.]
[You can now regenerate your health back to the maximum value.]
"Is this a good thing?" Creepysoo asked as they were now free from the effects of Dread.
"Not really. Look at that." Adrian stated as all of the Dread that they have accumulated is now fed upon by the Dread Mansion.
The Dread Mansion started to swell up in size as it ate all of the Dread present in the bodies of the four. In fact, it even got the Dread that was accumulated by the soulbounds and undead knights. It got all of the negative energy present in the area which made it double its size in the process.
[The Dread Mansion is now using Dread Apocalypse.]
"Sanctuary!" Levin Cloud immediately casted as he knew that he must protect the team.
Levin Cloud made the area affected by Sanctuary be the area where the Tree of Life and Death is rooted. As long as they are in that area then they would be affected by the protection that the spell gives. The Dread Mansion started to swell more and suddenly exploded in powerful negative energy that swept at the entire area.
The negative energy was so powerful that it actually knocked back all of them. Thanks to Levin Cloud, they were not damaged by the Dread Apocalypse spell, but they did not expect the effects of the said skill. All of them could not believe their eyes as that spell actually blew out their current transformations.
[The mass of negative energy has made your mana circuits malfunction. Your Netheros True Form will be cancelled.]
[The mass of negative energy has made your mana circuits malfunction. Your Guardian of the Forest will be cancelled.]
[The mass of negative energy has made your connection with the Tree of Life and Death weak. Its duration will now drop to one minute.]
[The mass of negative energy has made your mana circuits malfunction. All your undead knights will be unsummoned.]
[The mass of negative energy has made your mana circuits malfunction. Your connection with the elements will be restricted for 10 minutes.]
All of them did not expect the sudden restrictions with Adrian and Levin Cloud being the most surprised of all of them. They have never experienced an enemy that could actually blow away their true forms. This is the first for them as they have yet to face an enemy that can directly mess with mana circuits.
"What the hell!" Levin Cloud exclaimed as he suddenly dropped to the ground.
"I am as surprised as you." Adrian stated as he blinked.
[The Dread Mansion has released Dread Apocalypse. Random Dread Beast will now spawn for twenty minutes until it recharges.]
Another notification popped up and Dread Beasts started to rise from the aftermath of the explosion of negative energy. The Dread Beasts were not strong, but they were a lot when it comes to numbers. Adrian's head started to calculate on what to do and how the Dread Mansion actually attacks.
