Chapter 1499 The Hunt For The Snake’s Descendant V
Levin Cloud knew that he cannot escape easily as the ground is still hard due to miasma. The being in front of him had the strength of a demigod. He would not escape through his usual means as the being in front of him looked at him like an ingredient.
“It would be nice if you introduced yourself first.” Levin Cloud stated but he was actually only buying time. 𝑖𝘦.𝘤𝑜𝘮
“Grandmaster Lason! That is the Envoy of the Twin Gods that the master has told us about! It seems that he also has a scale of the master which means he should also know why we are here. Please capture him so that he cannot alert his allies.” The follower of Apophis stated as he noticed the scale of Apophis on Levin Cloud’s hand.
“You do not need to tell me what to do. I will capture him for my own gain as blood of Leshy is a very rare material that can intensify miasma!” Grandmaster Lason stated as he slammed his staff on the ground which suddenly transformed the whole village into his pseudo domain.
“Not as friendly as I thought! High Purification!” Levin Cloud stated as he imbued holy energy into his pendulum.
Levin Cloud immediately purified the area around him which immediately cleared the miasma that Grandmaster Lason released. The demigod seemed a bit disturbed about the fact that his skill was countered by a brat that is not even as strong as him. The one thing that counters miasma is holy energy which the Envoy of the Twin Gods have plenty of.
Grandmaster Lason is one of the hidden alchemists in the central continent that brews poisons at first. He then switched to miasma when he made a contract with a Dark God as he learned that miasma is the most powerful natural poison of all. He was a normal alchemist at first that used poison to create antidotes but his obsession with poison drove him mad.
The once revered Alchemy Grandmaster became a criminal that used the life of innocent to test the poisons that he brews. He is the best example of a man being driven mad by their passion that turned into obsession. He is also one of the most wanted men in the central continent that the Alchemy Association want dead.
“Sorry, old man. I do not swing that way and even if I did I do not like old fogeys like you.” Levin Cloud stated as he spun his pendulum around and released holy rays of light as attacks.
The basic attacks that Levin Cloud used were not even useful against Grandmaster Lason. He thought that he would at least graze the old man, but it was basically ineffective. He needed to use spells that deal damage to even deal with the demigod but there were also followers of Apophis around him.
“Tch! If only the miasma also affected those brainless individuals as well.” Levin Cloud muttered as he could see that the followers of Apophis were not even affected by the poison miasma.
“Do you think that I shall be that unrefined? I am one of the Grandmasters of Alchemy even before you were probably born! If my poison miasma even hurt my allies, then I would have buried myself on the ground to die of humiliation!” Grandmaster Lason stated as he released more poison miasma once more using a flask that he took out.
“Holy Beam!” Levin Cloud stated as he released an Epic Tier spell called Holy Beam that is available to priests of Level 200.
The skill Holy Beam is a skill that deals bonus damage on evil individuals and the power is dependent on the Devotion stat of the priest. It is one of the most powerful offensive skills available to priests and is a good source of damage from them since the cooldown is only ten minutes.
The Holy Beam cut through the poison miasma and reached Grandmaster Lason. The demigod felt a sting on his chest as he could feel the holy energy penetrating his body that is filled with poison miasma. The demigod is now warier of Levin Cloud as he knew that the spell Holy Beam could only deal that amount of damage to him if the priests has extremely high devotion.
“It seems that I need to go all out to capture him. Get out of town or else all of you will fall victim to my attacks as well. I cannot be perfectly in control if I were to defeat the Envoy of the Twin Gods.” Grandmaster Lason stated as he would need to let loose if he wants to capture Levin Cloud.
The followers of Apophis heeded the words of Grandmaster Lason as they have already witnessed what he is really capable of during the few villages that they visited. The demigod alchemist could plunge a whole village in poison miasma in under ten minutes which even killed those that only had skin contact on the miasma.
“Nature’s Bind!” Levin Cloud stated as he slammed his hand on the ground.
As soon as Levin Cloud slammed his hand on the ground, the ground in front of him suddenly trembled as large roots suddenly sprung up and headed towards Grandmaster Lason. The demigod did not even feel threatened as he just turned the ground in front of him into a pool of corrosive poison that melted the roots.
“Holy Flash!” Levin Cloud casted as the whole area is suddenly flooded with a holy light that blinded those that are aligned with evil.
When Grandmaster Lason managed to regain his sight, Levin Cloud was no more. The only traces of him were two pieces of paper that turned into particles of light in the end. Levin Cloud made a diversion and left using a Teleportation scroll that could be used during battle.
“He escaped! To think that envoys these days are cowardly! I even wanted to test out my special poison number 66 on him.” Grandmaster Lason stated as he released a mana wave to see if Levin Cloud was still near but there was no response.
