1371: Serpent in Hibernation VIII

Serpent in Hibernation VIII

The Distorted God Apophis' clone felt the powerful energies of life and death coming from the direction of the portal that was created. It suddenly felt a tingling sensation on its body telling it that something can endanger the life of its other half. The Distorted God Apophis' clone could feel that the target of the attack is not it but the Shadow of Apophis.0

The Distorted God Apophis' clone started to actually panic as it cannot find many monsters that can attack Adrian and Levin Cloud. To make matters worse for the clone, the small energy that was threatening it suddenly jumped up in scale. 

"Kill the Champion of the Twin Gods and the Envoy of the Twin Gods!" The Distorted God Apophis' clone commanded all the monsters that were under the control of the Shadow of Apophis.

The Distorted God Apophis' clone could control the monsters under the command of the Shadow of Apophis because they share one mind. The control over the monsters can easily be done by anyone that has a piece of the Distorted God Apophis as even some followers of Apophis can do so.

The monsters no longer fought the ones attacking them as all of them focused on Adrian and Levin Cloud. The players also noticed this and made use of the opportunity that is granted to them. The Distorted God Apophis' clone also rushed towards Adrian and Levin Cloud as it actually felt fear.

Adrian and Levin Cloud stretched  their free arms towards the Tree of Life and Death. They thought that they could use its remaining energy to power up their attack as it is made of the same properties. The Tree of Life and Death answered in kind as it stretched the luscious vine towards Levin Cloud and the dried up vine towards Adrian.

Once each of the vines were connected to their respective people, the power surging towards Adrian and Levin Cloud tripled in just a matter of a few seconds. The spheres of power that they were generating immediately exploded in size as they now have enough to fire off the skill. Both of them looked at each other and nodded as they made the two energies clash.

"Void Demolition!" Adrian and Levin Cloud stated at the same time.

The two energies that should cancel each other out fused together like they were meant to be. All the beings that were there had their instincts scream to them to escape or pray that the beam will not strike their path. The white and black colored beam went straight towards the Shadow of Apophis and the Distorted God Apophis' clone actually panicked.

"Block the attack with all your life!" The Distorted God Apophis' clone commanded but the monsters shivered upon seeing the beam. 

The monsters might be controlled via mental corruption, but their instincts are still intact. Seeing that the mental persuasion could not make the monsters move, the Distorted God Apophis' clone used Mental Domination instead. All of the monsters suddenly became like zombies and stepped towards their doom.

The Void Demolition beam fired through the monsters and not even ashes were left as they were erased from existence. The Distorted God Apophis' clone knew that the monsters it sent cannot block the attack easily which is why it sent the field bosses to block the beam. The field bosses were able to block for a few seconds but they were also erased from existence in just a few seconds.

The only downside for the use of Void Demolition is that Adrian and Levin Cloud do not get experience points or drops when using it because it is very powerful. The upside is that it could destroy any enemy that is hit with the beam as long as they are in the way. The Distorted God Apophis' clone knew that the beam would hit the Shadow of Apophis which is why it used its own body as a shield.

The Distorted God Apophis' clone made sure to tank with all of its body since it knows that the other monsters cannot even block it for a second. Since the Distorted God Apophis' clone used its own body, it made sure to keep up the mental domination on the monsters. Instead of the monsters blocking the beam, the Distorted God Apophis' clone ate them to replenish its own health.

Adrian and Levin Cloud struggled as they cannot easily use the skill in their humanoid forms. They learned that they have much better control of the Void Demolition skill when they are in their true forms. They were also using too much mana in their humanoid forms as the beam that lasts for five minutes only did so in three.

[You are afflicted by mana depreciation. You cannot use mana in bulk for an hour.]

Both of them suddenly weakened as their knees feel like they will give out. When their attack ended, the body of the Distorted God Apophis' clone could still be seen standing perfectly still. The Distorted God Apophis' clone still looked domineering but traces of severe damage could be seen if one looked closely.

"Is this the best that you can do? I am still the Distorted God Apophis!" The Distorted God Apophis' clone shouted as numerous hooded individuals suddenly appeared in the area.

A powerful and dark chant could be heard resonating in the area as the number of hooded individuals continued to increase. The chant made the Distorted God Apophis' clone stronger, and one could see it heal from the wounds that afflicted it. There is one thing that Adrian noticed and that is the Distorted God Apophis' clone did not go up after reaching the 70% mark but that is still dangerous for them.

All the players also started to get afflicted by a curse as visible marks of a snake could be seen getting etched on their necks. The followers of Apophis are not only making the Distorted God Apophis' clone stronger but also cursing those that are in the area.
