Chapter 1526 Call of Kulu II
Levin Cloud noticed that Eldritch has not moved from his location ever since he was there. Seeing this, Levin Cloud immediately prepared to use a High Area Purify skill to help his other team members. Levin Cloud's team members are now fully infected with the sinister energy as they are now wrapped in cocoons of this energy.
"I just need enough to cast it, but I do not have any other skills that I can use to distract him." Levin Cloud thought as his gazed wondered of to Peridot that has her whole body covered with this sinister energy that looks like tar.
The other members of the Pantheon guild excluding Levin Cloud are actually permanently trapped in the tar like cocoon. Their health is also reinforcing this sinister energy, but the good thing is that they are not dying immediately. They could still be saved as long as Levin Cloud could use High Area Purify.
"Where do you think you are looking at?!" Eldritch stated with his static induced voice as he released another wave of sinister energy towards Levin Cloud.
Levin Cloud wanted to escape or dodge but he could see the two star spawns charging at him in different directions. If he dodged, then his friends would get afflicted by the sinister energy once again which increases the potency of their corruption. If he does not dodge, then he could potentially become like his friends.
"Gaea's Field!" Levin Cloud shouted as his pendulum suddenly dropped to the ground as if it was a seed.
The pendulum vanished into the ground and a flowery field that is about ten meters in radius is created with Levin Cloud at the center. He knew that this skill might not be able to stop the sinister energy, but it would help lessen its effects on the area as Gaea's Field increases Levin Cloud's holy magic depending on his Devotion.
[You will have 500% increased power when it comes to your holy magic.]
"This should be enough to at least decrease the damage that I will receive. Purify!" Levin Cloud stated as he activated the most basic but mastered Purify spell.
[Your Purify spell has been increased by 500% of its normal power.]
Purify usually only covers the target with holy light but it did not have the same effect when Levin Cloud usually uses it. The Gaea's Field resonated with Purify as all of the flora that spawned inside it glowed with golden energy as the whole field casted the spell. Since all of his friends are also inside the Gaea's Field, Levin Cloud basically casted Purify on them.
[You have slightly purified the sinister foreign energy affecting your ally, Solstice.]
[You have slightly purified the sinister foreign energy affecting your ally, Soleil.]
[You have slightly purified the sinister foreign energy affecting your ally, Creepysoo.]
[You have slightly purified the sinister foreign energy affecting your ally, Peridot.]
[You have slightly purified the sinister foreign energy affecting your ally, Frey.]
Some of the tar like cocoon actually receded when they were afflicted with the Purify spell. Earlier, all of their bodies were covered with this tar like liquid, but parts of their head are now released which means they can now use some spells. Frey, Solstice and Peridot coughed as if they were holding their breath because they were.
When they were covered by the tar like cocoon, they were also unable to breathe properly. Soleil and Creepysoo had no problem because they do not breath at all since, they are different beings. Elementals are like spirits which means they do not breathe in air. Undead are just walking dead which means they just live without breathing.
Levin Cloud is glad that his attempt actually lessened the effects of the sinister energy on his team members. The only problem he has now is to continuously cast Purify while Gaea' Field is active. The wave of sinister energy that Eldritch released was partially weakened by Gaea's Field but one could see that the flowers became less lively after that attack.
Levin Cloud's Purify was able to protect him from the attack as well but that does not mean it would always ne effective. The two star spawns took a step inside Geae's Field and they could be seen to show signs of weakening but not to the point that Levin Cloud can kill them by himself. Each step that the star spawns took, they released a small amount of sinister energy on the ground.
"Purify!" Levin Cloud shouted once more as a burst of golden light scattered throughout the area.
[You have slightly purified the sinister foreign energy affecting your ally, Solstice.]
[You have slightly purified the sinister foreign energy affecting your ally, Soleil.]
[You have slightly purified the sinister foreign energy affecting your ally, Creepysoo.]
[You have slightly purified the sinister foreign energy affecting your ally, Peridot.]
[You have slightly purified the sinister foreign energy affecting your ally, Frey.]
[You have dealt damage to a Lesser Star Spawn.]
[You have dealt damage to a Lesser Star Spawn.]
Levin Cloud was able to damage the two star spawns but that was not enough to stop them from coming close to him. The two star spawns were not the end though as another two were created by Eldritch just now. He seems to be able to create star spawns after a passage of time and Levin Cloud could see that he is also contaminating the ground below him.
"If this goes on then I would just die." Levin Cloud stated as he looked at the skill icon of the Purify skill while it was on cooldown.
"Rain of Madness!" Eldritch stated as he raised his two hands to the skies.
From inside of his robes, two pillars of sinister energy that looked like tar filled the skies. A dark cloud suddenly started to cover the entire battlefield. A few seconds later, droplets of water started to pour down, but it was not ordinary water.
[You have been afflicted by Rain of Madness.]
[You will have reduced defenses by 10%.]
[Your mental resistance has been decreased for 30% while under the effects of Rain of Madness.]
"This is not good." Levin Cloud muttered as he could see the sinister energy growing in power.
[Your Gaea's Field is being affected by the Rain of Madness.]
[The effects of your Gaea's Field skill will be reduced by 20%.]
Levin Cloud was not liking the notifications he is receiving and also what he is seeing. The flowery field that had bright colors started to die as if the rain itself was poison to them. Levin Cloud used Purify once more to try and see if he could reduce the effects of the rain, but it would get washed away in a few seconds.
Frey, Solstice, Soleil, Creepysoo and Peridot started to get covered up with the tar like cocoon. This time, Levin Cloud is also getting covered by it as well as he could already see his feet getting rooted in place. Levin Cloud started to try and use Greater Purify while has the chance as it only had a five second chant, but the star spawns did not let him.
The star spawns that Eldritch created are empowered under the Rain of Madness. The star spawns also gain an annoying ability which is the increased distance to launch their tentacles. Ten tentacles are shot towards Levin Cloud and each of them punctured his body.
The tentacles that punctured his body not only dealt damage but also infect him with the sinister energy that they are made of. Levin Cloud screamed in pain as his holy energy and the sinister energy started fighting inside of his body. Levin Cloud swore that he will have his revenge as he is only losing now because half of his powerful skills are now gone due to fighting Grandmaster Lason.
"He is not even begging for it to stop? All of the holy players that I did this could not even take the pain as it is amplified when they get infected. This is not fun." Eldritch muttered as this is not the first time that he used this tactic against another high level priest player.
The other priest players would often cry and beg for it to stop in about half a minute, but Levin Cloud was different. Eldritch was not getting the same reaction that he gets which suddenly soured his mood. He was greeted by a glare full of contempt instead which he hates the most.
"He is looking down at me! I will make you die a very painful death." Edritch muttered to himself as he started gathering power from the core that is inside him.
Eldritch suddenly slammed his two hands to the ground as he corrupted the earth itself. The ground could be seen being terraformed by him as it transformed into a tar like liquid. Some mouths, eyes and even tentacles started to manifest as well.
"Let us see how you can endure this." Eldritch stated as he has already contaminated Gaea's Field.
