Followers of the Distorted God I
Followers of the Distorted God I
Adrian would have stopped time, but he saw a sudden flash of light that blitzed through the enemy. He thanked Amelia for her timely assistance as he managed to save more time. Adrian knows that he might need to use Time Stop should a Devil Nobility suddenly stop him.
"Ah!" Some of the guild members shouted as they were attacked by the Followers of the Distorted Gods.
"I guess. It is now my time to shine!" Lime stated as she slammed her gigantic hammer on the ground.
"Saint's Presence!" Lime shouted as a white magic circle suddenly expanded with her at the center.
[You are affected by the skill: Saint's Presence.]
[Your Health has been healed by 10%.]
[You will heal 1% of your maximum health for the next 10 seconds.]
[Your physical defense has been increased by 10% for 10 minutes.]
[Your magical defense has been increased by 10% for 10 minutes.]
[Critical damage to you will be lessened by 20%.]
[You are immune to status ailments for the next 3 minutes.]
All of the members of the Pantheon guild enjoyed this buff as they are now brimming with strength. The Pantheon guild started their counterattack on the Followers of the Distorted God immediately. The situation for the Followers of the Distorted Gods turned for the worse but the situation with the Hell Beast is even more dire.
The Hell Beast has finally been able to stand up once again due to the Pantheon guild not keeping it down. The other top guilds tried to emulate what the Pantheon guild did, but they do not have a mage that could instantly cast skills that can send a large monster flying or knock it down to the ground. Some tried to keep the Hell Beast down, but it seemed to have become sturdier against status ailments.
"To think that an effect like that would arise." Adrian thought as he has been looking at the Hell Beast even if he was under attack.
Adrian noticed that the runes for Greater Status Ailment Resistance suddenly became twice as effective. It seems that the runes that fortified the Hell Beast would become stronger for each rune that is stripped off or negated. This is a first for Adrian, but he did not falter just because this is the first time that he encountered this.
Adrian immediately pushed his eyesight to the limit as he needed to see which rune was making the other runes stronger. If he finds this rune that enhances the other runes, then he might destroy all of the runes at once. Even if he cannot destroy all of the runes, it might lead to a chain reaction where the runes are not stacking on top of each other which will greatly weaken the Hell Beast.
"Dodu, revert transformation and start the devouring process for the Hell Beast first. We need to know of the composition of our enemy." Adrian commanded via the soul link.
The Followers of the Distorted God smiled at it has the bow wielding Adrian encircled. They thought that they would be able to stop the Demon from his actions as he is now surrounded. They also saw that the Demon was not even moving and just observing. This led to the Followers of the Distorted Gods to think that Adrian (Dodu) was nervous.
"Roger!" A child like high pitched voice suddenly echoed from the bow wielding Adrian which shocked the Followers of the Distorted God.
Dodu suddenly expanded in size as it revealed itself to the players surrounding it. The Followers of the Distorted God suddenly wanted to escape but Adrian already has a plan for them. Adrian commanded both Charon and Dodu to utilize their domain at the same time.
"Charon use Ghogiel's Domain!"
"Dodu use Gharab's Domain!"
Adrian commanded both his high tiered soulbounds to use their domains that stem from his own unknown power. The world of Hell that was mainly red in color suddenly started to shift in brightness. The players and even the fortified Hell Beast is affected as this power is something that even the devils fear.
[Charon has used Ghogiel's Domain.]
[Charon's stats are doubled for 20 minutes.]
[The Hell Beast has been stunned for five seconds.]
[All beings tagged as enemies have been stunned for five seconds.]
[The Hell Beast has been slowed by 50% (decreased due to status ailment reduction) for 10 minutes.]
[All beings tagged as enemies have been slowed by varying degrees (decreased due to status ailment reduction) for 10 minutes.]
The entire area that was made of soil and dirt is suddenly covered in chains that were spiritual in a sense. Charon also changed his look slightly as all of the chains that covered its body suddenly started to flow freely like water. Charon look like he could seal space itself with just a flick of his finger.
[Dodu has used Gharab's Domain.]
[Dodu will have a permanent of chance of decreasing the enemy's magical and physical defense by 1% through tactile contact.]
[Dodu's tactile touch has a 50% chance of decreasing the durability of items.]
[Dodu will recover 2% of Satiety per attack that hits.]
[All defenses that are decreased by Dodu will be absorbed by him for a duration of 1 hour.]
Dodu, who was already a large slime hybrid monster, suddenly enlarged even further. All of the players that were around him could not do anything as they were stunned for five seconds. Dodu looked at all of the Followers of the Distorted Gods and drooled.
"Dodu, you may start your feeding frenzy. Just eat those that are enemies." Adrian commanded as he pumped all of his energy towards Dodu.
[You have enhanced Dodu with 200 Nether Energy.]
[Dodu has increased its damage by 50% for a duration of 2 minutes.]
[You have enhanced Dodu with all of your Primordial Energy.]
[Dodu's stats are increased by 100% for 5 minutes.]
"Thanks for the meal!" Dodu shouted in a cute voice, but that voice sounded like terror to the enemies around it.
Dodu created numerous tentacles that elongated from its body and reached towards the Followers of the Distorted Gods. Some of the Followers of the Distorted Gods were able to shake off the stun by using a skill block or a relic item that negates a chosen status ailment. Those that were not able to do so were devoured by the Uboth-Sathla.
All of the Followers of the Distorted Gods that were devoured went straight into Dodu's body. Due to the nature of Dodu's body, one could see beings that are not immediately melted floating around. The players inside of Dodu's body could be seen struggling to survive as they needed air to breathe.
Those that did not need air to breathe are more focused on their armor and weapons that are melting along with their own body. The pain of the skin melting while one is alive is ingrained into these players. The others that were able to avoid the same fate could only look away as they now needed to kill the summoner if they want to save the others.
The Followers of the Distorted God that were able to save themselves are now fixated on the being that has numerous floating mirrors. They immediately knew that this was Equinox as there are not many players that have a mirror as a weapon. The being that has numerous floating mirrors looked human, but they knew that the Demon could shapeshift.
"That is Equinox! Kill him so that the others could still be saved!" One of the Followers of the Distorted Gods shouted as he also charged towards Adrian.
Adrian did not look bothered that he was found as he actually did not even move from his location. The fastest of the Followers of the Distorted Gods was able to get near Adrian and swing her sword. She thought that she would be the first player to ever kill the Demon while a stream was happening, but she was wrong.
The sword that was supposed to cut Adrian's body suddenly passed right through him. Red smoke suddenly exploded on the face of the Follower of the Distorted God as she did not know what happened. Adrian suddenly appeared beside him once more and she swung her weapon again, but she did not cut anything.
"He is gone! This is just an illusion!" The female Follower of the Distorted God shouted as she is suddenly pierced by a shadow.
"Nice job, Sirius! Make sure to make it look like I am struggling against her." Adrian stated as he all viewed what was happening from above. They did not know but there were actually three domains that are active in the battlefield right now.
