Adrian sent Lebou crashing down to the ground as a result of his Star Descends skill. Lebou could not even dodge as Adrian actually manipulated gravity so that the Avatar of Shesmu does not escape. As soon as Adrian completed the Star Descends skill, his spear suddenly is coated with a starry aura once more as a silhouette of a dragon could be seen on it.
[You have successfully used Star Ascends and Star Descends in succession.]
[You can now use Star Dragon Strike.]
"Star Dragon Strike!" Adrian shouted as he threw his spear with great strength towards the area where Lebou crashed.
A dragon's roar could be heard in the area as the dragon silhouette in the spear suddenly looked as if it became alive. The spear traveled in a straight line towards Lebou who created a large crater on the sands. Lebou immediately gathered divine energy and even halted his healing in order to defend himself against the incoming attack as he could feel its intensity.
"That is meaningless though." Adrian muttered as there is a special effect of Star Dragon Strike.
Not only dealing 500% of his total attack damage in a straight line, but it also has the barrier penetration effect. Any shields or barrier would not defend against this skill as only invincibility could negate its damage. Lebou did not know this and believed that his barrier created using holy magic would defend him, but he soon learned that it was futile.
The spear hit the barrier and actually remained there, but the dragon silhouette did not. The dragon silhouette passed through the barrier and dealt direct damage to Lebou. The dragon silhouette is the real Star Dragon Strike skill and Adrian just launched the spear in order to confuse his enemies.
[You have dealt great damage to the Avatar of Shesmu, Lebou.]
Lebou screamed in pain as the skill actually pierced his stomach. The divine energy in his body worked immediately though as Adrian could see his stomach hole suddenly becoming smaller. Despite divine energy healing Lebou's stomach immediately, he still held his stomach when he rose from the ground as he is in great pain.
"I mostly used my nether energy already which is why I can only use a little when I released that skill. It seems that it would take more in order to force a god out of a mortal's body." Adrian muttered.
Lebou stood up and looked at the situation and he could clearly see that all of his allies here are dying. He looked towards his mount, and he could also see his partner being tossed like a rag by the demon's soulbound. He immediately knew that they would get wiped out if he did not do something drastic.
"I have greatly underestimated you, demon. It seems that mere attacks are not effective against you which is why I must lay my life in order to fulfill my god's wish. Followers of Shesmu! My brothers and sisters! Lend me your remaining life in order to kill our enemies!" Lebou shouted.
The players and their enemies heard the shout of the Avatar of Shesmu. The Followers of Shesmu that are either severely injured or still healthy all slit their throats without a moment of hesitation when they heard the declaration of their leader. The players could not believe what just happened as they did not expect things to turn like this.
The players knew that the western continent has some people that are very devoted, but they did not expect that they are devoted to this extent. Nevertheless, the devotion of the Followers of Shesmu is not that far from some of the people in the central continent. Those with great devotion to their god would also gladly sacrifice their life for their god.
The only difference in the central and western continent is the way they give their life. In the central continent, those with great faith will most likely die fighting for their cause. In the western continent, those with great faith will die for the cause as long as their leader says so.
The blood of all the Followers of Shesmu that ended their life suddenly formed a pool of blood that gathered towards Lebou. The Avatar of Shesmu is suddenly covered in the blood of his fallen brothers and sisters. The blood itself started to heal Lebou but also recover the divine energy that was spent in healing and defending his body.
Adrian could see that the blood of the Followers of Shesmu actually carried divine energy which they have accumulated through prayers and endless devotion. Adrian tried to attack Lebou while this is happening, but the blood actually created a wall that blocked the advances of his spear. Lebou then looked towards his precious partner and covered it in blood as well.
Kimat had to retreat as its enemy that was close to death was suddenly taken away. The blood covered the black lion and it turned purely into blood as well. All the blood that was sacrificed in the area is now heading towards Lebou as his power started to increase exponentially.
"His body is starting to break down as well. It seems that he was serious when he said that he would gladly offer his life." Adrian stated.
Lebou's skin that was brown in color started to turn greenish purple while his golden armor started to turn scarlet. His body size also started to grow in size but not to the point that he towers all of them. Lebou increased to a size of three meters while his eyes also turned into pure red as it is filled with rage and resentment of those that sacrificed their live.
Adrian actually gulped because he realized something when Lebou transformed. He was no longer fighting the Avatar of Shesmu himself. The being in front of him radiated clear divine energy which is twice as much of what Lebou housed in his body.
[The God Shesmu has temporarily descended.]
