Chapter 1525 Call of Kulu
A sound of the world suddenly breaking could be heard all throughout the area. The sudden roar that sounded like a static whale song flooded the area. Eldritch' entire being started to disintegrate in front of them but he was not dying.
The group thought that Eldritch was dying at first, but it was different as he was being reformed. The shadow of a large monster with the head of a dragon and an octopus could be seen covering the entire sky. Levin Cloud and the others saw this silhouette and felt that something inside them screamed to turn their eyes away.
The blood spear that was shot towards Eldritch did not even touch him as it was actually absorbed into him. Solstice could not believe that her attack was just like that, but she was not going to stop. She pulled some of the blood from her attack so that she will have something left.
All of them could not gaze at the large silhouette as looking at it for a long time would give them the Madness status ailment. They all instinctively knew that the being that Eldritch summoned was not a mere being but something equal to a god. They could not believe that Eldritch actually had something more powerful than becoming an Elder Star Spawn.
Eldritch' body turned into dust as it started to converge to become some sort of chrysalis that is not of this world. The chrysalis that was created looked like a distorted being that has multiple mouths, eyes, and tentacles. The large shadow that Eldritch summoned then entered the chrysalis which created a powerful shockwave that blew everyone away.
Eldritch finally emerged from the chrysalis and looked completely different from his other form. Eldritch is now at the same size of a normal human but his current form is only humanoid in shape. His face is covered by a plain white mask, and he is dressed in a robe with unknown runes.
His whole body might be covered with the robe, but it cannot fully conceal the body being hidden inside of it. Inside the robe are a mass of tentacles that are only combining because of Eldritch' own will. If one looked at the ground below his feet, then one might see that these small tentacles were creeping on the ground as if infecting them.
The small tentacles look like smoke if viewed from a distance, but one could see that it is not when up close. Just looking at Eldritch' new form made people slowly get affected by Madness. Eldritch then looked at the direction of his enemies which created a surge of eerie energy being sent towards Levin Cloud and the others.
[You are stunned for one second due to the Vessel of Kulu staring at you.]
"What the..." Levin Cloud and the others thought as they could not believe that a simple glance would make them unable to move.
"You guys are extremely lucky because I do not show this form to anyone else. This is the form when a god possesses the body of a mortal." Eldritch stated but his voice is now different.
In Eldritch' Elder Star Spawn form, his voice would echo ten times. In his Vessel of Kulu form, his voice no longer echoed but is instead followed by static noise as if the universe itself could not translate what he is saying.
[You have heard the voice of the Vessel of Kulu. Your stats would be decreased by 1% for five minutes.]
"This guy is insane." Levin Cloud thought as this is the first time that he saw a player decrease another player's stats with just their speaking voice.
"All of you will die here anyway so why am I even bother explaining." Eldritch stated as he suddenly raised his arm.
The robe that hid his body suddenly exploded in this sinister energy that swept everything in front of it. The energy was unlike anything that they have felt as it was sticky and heavy. Since Kabrakan is no longer with them, the group can no longer rely on someone tanking the damage for them.
"Get behind me!" Frey stated as she slammed her spear on the ground and created a shield in front of them.
Frey's shield was made of his own mana which means when her mana is gone then the shield will come with it. Solstice knew that she also needed to do something which is why she used the remaining blood to create a shield in front of them. Soleil also participated and surrounded them with a flaming shield.
All the defenses that they have created were all blasted in just a matter of seconds. Levin Cloud knew that they would die if he does not do something which is why he used his remaining stack of Sanctuary on their area, but something happened that he did not expect. He was able to create the area for Sanctuary but the golden light that was usually invincible actually started to crack.
Eldritch smiled as he knew that Levin Cloud has a skill that can negate any damage in an area, but his current form does not conform with the rules of this world. The golden area created by Sanctuary is swallowed by the sinister energy and was destroyed after a minute. The destruction of Sanctuary created a powerful reaction as this sinister energy and holy energy from Levin Cloud collided.
The blast sent them flying backwards but it was also helpful to them as they were not immediately swallowed by the sinister energy that Eldritch created. This did not mean that they will not be afflicted by it as this sinister energy was still trying to reach them. The first one to be reached by the sinister energy is none other than Frey as she was the vanguard that protected them from the first wave of sinister energy.
Frey's body started to become covered by this sinister energy as it crept from her feet until half of her body was covered in a span of a few minutes. Frey was only the first one to be afflicted but the others were soon caught as well. Each of them has varying levels of affliction but Levin Cloud was the one that is unique.
Levin Cloud's body seem to repel the sinister energy which Eldritch was not surprised about. Eldritch already knew that holy energy from the gods of this universe does not mix well with the energy of the dark gods. One could say that the energy from the dark gods is some sort of contamination that any holy energy from this universe would repel.
"As expected, I need to kill that priest first." Eldritch muttered as his priority now shifted to Levin Cloud as he will now be the only one to counter him.
"Star Spawn Creation." Eldritch stated as some tentacles left his body to create two star spawns.
The two star spawns looked like a smaller version of Eldritch' own form but the face is just plain tentacles. The two star spawns charged towards Levin Cloud as he is the only one that could move compared to the others. Levin Cloud noticed the two monsters spawned by Eldritch which is why he decided to fight back instead of running away.
"Purify!" Levin Cloud shouted as he released a burst of golden light from his pendulum that actually weakened the sinister energy afflicting him and the others around him.
The skill also made the two star spawns wary of him as they were actually burned with the holy light that was created by the Purify skill. The star spawns did not want to get close to Levin Cloud, but their orders were to destroy their target. Levin Cloud might not have effectively destroyed the star spawns, but he did notice that the sinister energy affecting their surroundings were repelled by him.
"Why is he not moving?" Levin Cloud suddenly thought as he could see that Eldritch did not move from his area ever since he transformed.
"Nature Spirits!" Levin Cloud stated as he swung his pendulum in an arc.
Numerous small beings that are green in color and have the wings of bugs came out of his pendulum. This are none other than small Nature Spirits or lesser nature elementals that spread Levin Cloud's holy energy in his surroundings. Eldritch saw this and immediately commanded the two star spawns to block the small nature spirits.
Levin Cloud took notice of this interaction because he thought that Eldritch would just move from his spot but he did not. Levin Cloud followed this up with another skill which was Holy Smite. The area that he selected was none other than the area that Eldritch is rooted. Eldritch saw the cloud of holy energy building on top of him and immediately sent a wave of sinister energy to destroy it.
[Your Holy Smite skill has been disrupted and failed to activate due to an unknown energy counteracting it.]
"He cannot move." Levin Cloud muttered as he smiled.
