Chapter 919: The Corrupted God Fragment IV

A piercing cry of something inhuman could be heard by everyone in the area that made their souls quiver. It is a cry of something that should not be present in this world because it is the cry of a dark god. A being that is being rejected by the world as it messes with the balance of nature just by existing.

=====

NPC Name: Nuno (Parasitic Mushroom Dark Godʼs Shadow Form)

Tier: Mythical

Level: 280

Health: 50%

Mana: 100%

Buffs: Devoured Earth God Spirit Fragment, Parasitic Mushroom Dark Godʼs Shadow

------

Buff: Devoured Earth God Spirit Fragment

Effect: All the effects of the Earth God Spirit Fragment buff will be carried over. Also, the new being will now be able to devour the earth elemental energy from attacks and spells in order to restore health. Only 50% of the total earth elemental damage devoured will be used as recovery.

Buff: Parasitic Mushroom Dark Godʼs Shadow

Effect: The being called Nuno has now been fully devoured by the Parasitic Mushroom Dark Godʼs Shadow. He has now transformed to become the new Parasitic Dark Godʼs Shadow and will try to fully revive his real self as the Parasitic Mushroom Dark God was defeated back during the war of gods.

The body will now release fumes and shroom spores when it is attacked using sharp edges. The poison will spread to a three-meter radius while the spores will stick to the body of the attacker to deal damage. The miasma released by the Parasitic Mushroom Dark Godʼs Shadow will also reduce the speed of people around him.

=====

[You have been afflicted by the miasma of the Parasitic Mushroom Dark Godʼs Shadow.]

[Attack Speed will be reduced by 20%.]

[Movement speed will be reduced by 10%.]

Nuno is no longer an old man in stature as he is now a ten-meter-tall abomination that looks like a mushroom combined with a human. The clouds above Nuno have become dark as well since the miasma he released affected his surroundings to a great degree.  Even the champions of gods that have divine energy in their body is getting afflicted by the curse.

Nuno now muttered in a language that is foreign to everyone around him. For the players and NPCs, all they could hear are sounds of numerous monsters being mixed together. As Nuno is muttering, runes started to swirl around the huge body of the Parasitic Mushroom Dark Godʼs Shadow.

The runes are different from the ones being utilized by the mages as it looked foreign. It is also not activated using mana but miasma from the body of the dark god. Levin Cloud instinctively knew that they will not be able to survive if they get hit by that thing.

”Peridot! Kabrakan! Operation: Aegis” Levin Cloud shouted.

Levin Cloud immediately conjured up the vines to fetch the other companions. He then created a barrier made of bramble vines that covered the entire party.

”Multi Layered Elemental Barrier!” Peridot chanted as 40% of her total mana vanished just like that.

Peridot then utilized four elemental barriers to enforce the defenses of the bramble shield. Even she could feel the great danger from her draconic senses. She knows that they will not live if they get hit by that attack. The elements in the surroundings are basically crying for help when she saw the strange runes manifesting.

”Iron Body! Crystal Protector! Transfer: Area Barrier!” Kabrakan shouted as he slammed his two shields on the ground, and it merged with it.

Kabrakan used Iron Body to increase his defenses by 100% for ten minutes. He also used Crystal Protector to further increase the defenses of his shields by 150% for five minutes. He then activated the Aegis Guardian special skill called Transfer: Area Barrier.

The team is now covered with six layers of defenses while Levin Cloud also casted the Fortification Spell to increase everyoneʼs defenses as well. Kabrakan also commanded the two NPCs to stand behind him as they will not be able to revive if they die. His beastkin instinct knew that they will barely survive this attack even with all the barriers.

The corrupted runes that floated around the Parasitic Mushroom Dark Godʼs Shadow started to form ten rings as the spell is almost complete. The next thing that happened shocked everyone in Mahar Lika as a beam of light came down from the sky. The whole area suddenly darkened as wave of miasma is suddenly released.

The barrier that the gods created to seal Nuno suddenly shook for a moment and lost power for a few seconds. The barrier is suddenly released but numerous gods of Mahar Lika forcefully descended to the mortal plane and activated their powers to create a new seal. They wanted to kill the Parasitic Mushroom Dark Godʼs Shadow, but they do not have the immediate strength to do so.

They have forcefully descended which means a lot of their strength vanished the moment they did so. If they do not seal the Parasitic Mushroom Dark Godʼs Shadow in the area now, then it could wreak more havoc. It might even erase all life on Mahar Lika due to how powerful the Parasitic Mushroom Dark Godʼs Shadow is.

The gods managed to restore the seal back in time, but they could not sustain their bodies in the mortal plane since they forcefully descended. They contacted all their champions to come to the third island and destroy the dark god shadow that appeared. The gods knew that three champions and three outsiders will no longer be able to deal with the opponent.

=====

[Your Bramble Dome Shield could handle the miasma and was destroyed.]

[The Flame Dome Barrier could not hold and is erased due to the strong miasma.]

[The Frost Dome Barrier could not hold and is erased due to the strong miasma.]

[The Wind Dome Barrier could not hold and is erased due to the strong miasma.]

[The Earth Dome Barrier could not hold and is erased due to the strong miasma.]

[The Area Barrier created by Kabrakan has been destroyed due to the effect of miasma.]

The moment that Levin Cloud, Peridot and Kabrakan saw these notifications, they already knew what they need to do. The attack will definitely reach them, but the two NPCs must survive no matter what. Kabrakan used his body and hugged Apolaki, Lupa and Hangin tightly.

Levin Cloud then transformed his body into vines and provided another extra layer of protection by covering them. Peridot transformed into her dragon form and covered Levin Cloud. The three definitely had this plan in motion when they got the quest as they must never let Lupa and Hangin die.

The two NPC champions knew what the three were planning and wanted to stop them. They are champions and their pride will not let anyone sacrifice their life for them as they need to sacrifice their life for the greater good. When Apolaki noticed that the two champions wanted to break free, he assured them that it is part of the plan.

The next thing everyone saw is that a black light hit them as Peridot died. Levin Cloud managed to hold on for a few more seconds but ultimately died as well. Kabrakan screamed in pain, but he held his ground until his body started to turn into pixels as well. Apolaki, Lupa and Hangin witnessed all of this as they heard the pained cries of the three as they turned into particles of light.

The miasma still hit Apolaki, Lupa and Hangin but the damage that they received is minimal. Their health was already healed back to full before everything happened which is why they managed to survive due to the sacrifice of the three. Just as they though that they are able to be unharmed, a black tendril like spear suddenly came straight to their location.

Apolaki pushed the other two champions as he could not whip his weapon immediately. The black tendril pierced Apolakiʼs heart and he started to turn into particles as well. Lupa and Hangin followed the direction where the black tendril came from and saw that it originated from the body of the boss monster.

The two champions started to tear up as no one has ever managed to sacrifice their lives for them. It was always them that tried to sacrifice their lives for other. The two of them steeled their resolve and wanted to their lives to defeat Nuno but a voice suddenly called out to them.
