Gaea's Field has been tainted into looking a corrupted version of it. Instead of vibrant flora and fauna, squirming tentacles and eerie eyes are seen. Levin Cloud could feel his own holy energy becoming bleak as if he was getting swallowed by the sinister energy.
Levin Cloud already accepted that they have lost but they have put up a good fight. Vayu and Lycan should have enough time to deal with the group that escaped. Levin Cloud believed that Vayu and Lycan could stop the Followers of Apophis from escaping back to the western continent.
"Vortex." A familiar voice suddenly rang in the area as a black hole appeared on top of them.
The black hole not only sucked in the sinister energy but also the contaminated Gaea's Field. Levin Cloud and the others started to get rid of the sinister energy warping their body. Eldritch tried to destroy the black hole as it also sucked up all the star spawns that he has created but he could not do so.
A golden beam of light suddenly shot towards Eldritch which he blocked using a curtain of his sinister energy. A gigantic wolf then leapt from the shadows and aimed his claws at Eldritch' body but the latter just released a powerful shockwave that blew away that the former. A gigantic white bird with tails of rainbow then came down from the skies and released burst of light that washed away at the sinister energy infecting Levin Cloud and the others.
"Sorry if I am late." Adrian stated as he flew down towards Levin Cloud and the others.
"You were just right in time." Levin Cloud replied with a sigh of relief as all of them were saved thanks to Adrian's timely assistance.
Adrian might have arrived but Eldritch has full control of the area. Sirius could not even get a hit in on the enemy while Kanlaon's breath attacks or any elemental spells would be blocked by his curtain of sinister energy. Saena released them from the effects of sinister energy but that does not mean they are immune to it.
"Can anyone catch me up to speed?" Adrian asked.
"We should defeat that guy first." Solstice stated as she took out two blood weapons and charged towards Eldritch.
Frey, Soleil, Creepysoo and Peridot also followed her since they know that Eldritch will kill them if he gets the chance. Eldritch will no longer play with them anymore since Adrian has arrived. Even he knows that he should be careful around the Demon.
"I will catch you up to speed." Levin Cloud stated as he continued to support the others with his heals and buffs.
Adrian was given all the summarized information like what happened to the vessel and such. He was also told about the unknown gigantic being that was sucked inside of Eldritch when he assumed that form. Adrian told Levin Cloud that it might have been a god that entered Eldritch' body because he could sense the energy of a lesser god in him.
Despite all of his enemies being free from his grasps, Eldritch remained calm as he still has the upper hand. He has yet to release 50% of the power of his current form as he was also testing the waters on how much he could control. He borrowed the power of the Dark God Kulu as it was residing in his body.
Eldritch is the Envoy of Azathoth which means all gods under his patron could be used for his bidding. The God Kulu is a lower family member of his patron god which mean he could use his ability to call upon their name. Once calling the dark god, they would then be housed inside Eldritch' body and the strength he can pull will be dependent on his willpower and body.
"Stream of Madness!" Eldritch stated as he released a powerful wave of sinister energy from his body.
The wave of sinister energy erupted like a geyser and flowed in all directions. Any living being that is touched by this energy wave would undoubtedly be afflicted by Madness. All of them needed to evade the attack as Adrian's black hole has already dissipated and could not absorb the sinister energy.
"Wave of Death!" Levin Cloud shouted as his being suddenly morphed to that of a dark elf looking individual.
Levin Cloud released a wave of death energy that is in the form of a black mist. The black mist came in contact with the Stream of Madness and created a powerful explosion as they repelled each other. Levin Cloud was confident of this because Adrian is now with them which means their synergy activates.
Levin Cloud wanted to use death energy earlier, but he knew how volatile it was when it comes into contact with foreign sinister energy. If life energy could purify the sinister energy, then death energy destroys it. He cannot use it when his friends are afflicted with this sinister energy as he might kill them if he was not careful.
The two energies clashed but it was clear who was the victor. The sinister energy pushed back Levin Cloud's death energy due to Eldritch being more powerful than them. Adrian saw the interaction and immediately stopped from using his domain.
If he used his Nether Domain, then this area will be flooded with nether energy. The place has already been afflicted with Eldritch' sinister energy which means catastrophic things would happen if he introduced a more volatile energy into the area. The least of his problems would be blowing up the area they are in.
[Your party member, Lycan, has died.]
[Your party member, Vayu, has died.]
The group is shocked with the news as they thought that the two would have been enough to deal with the ones that escaped. They were about to ask them what happened when they received the last message that Lycan has given them.
[Demigod!] Lycan entered in their group chat a few seconds before he died.
Adrian, who was the most perceptive of all of them, could feel the incoming large amount of energy towards them. He knew that this must be the demigod that they have been warned about. He found it unfair as demigods from the side of the dark gods are moving yet they have no one on their end.
"Game Dev! This is unfair!" Adrian shouted to the sky as he immediately summoned his Mirror Armament.
Adrian created multiple mirrors that absorbed all of his friends as he planned to escape with them. He knew from the energy of the demigod coming near them that they will not stand a chance. They might have a chance if he still had the Chaos Pierrot form, but he does not. The incoming demigod was also vastly different compared to the two that he just killed.
Adrian was able to transport his friends next to him and he started to prepare a teleportation spell for them to escape. Adrian wanted a bit more time so that he could be successful, but the demigod came in much faster than he anticipated. As soon as the demigod arrived, the space became erratic as it was affected by his large amount of mana.
"So, this was where you were Eldritch. I thought that you have been killed like Edora and Lason but it seems that you are still alive." A man that has the appearance of an ugly fat man stated.
"It is good to see you too, Toggua." Eldritch stated with a sarcastic tone but he made sure to not anger the demigod before him.
Eldritch might now want to accept it but Toggua is the most powerful demigod that they have in their faction. Eldritch does not want to offend him not because he is stronger but because he knows the real identity of the demigod before him. The demigod before him is actually a god that devoured his vessel's soul.
The demigod is in fact a god that is just being restricted by the flesh of a mortal. If Toggua really wanted to then he could try to become recover some of his lost power to become a lesser god but that would also mean he would slumber. He has stepped foot into the limelight because the offer of the Distorted God Apophis is too delicious to ignore.
"Even if you have borrowed my brother's aspect, you cannot defeat a bunch of weaklings. Then again, some of them are not that weak." Toggua stated as he looked at Adrian.
"If you have moved earlier instead of being a bit lazy then I would not have done such a thing. Lason and Edora should have been alive till now." Eldritch argued but he did not dare raise his voice.
"The vessel has already been transported into the boat. You would go with them as an escort so that nothing unexpected happens during the voyage. Go now as I will be the ones dealing with these just like what I did with those two ants." Toggua stated as he looked down at them.
