Chapter 1969 Besieged by a Storm II
?Numerous storm spirits that have the appearance of different beings could be seen flying all over Avalon. All of them targeted the living beings first but there is one undead that made them his source of strength. Charon was finally able to let lose as he rarely does since his energy can literally suck out the life force in an area.
The few areas where Charon can let lose is Avalon as it is a land blessed by the gods of life and death. All of his chains were released and each of them clung to a storm spirit. The image of a storm spirit suddenly losing its light could be seen in one of the islands as they were made as batteries by Charon. All of the storm spirits that are caught would be used to give barriers to all the allies in the area.
The barrier that Charon granted even had a special effect of lightning which decreased the damage of the storm spirits. All the players that got the special elemental barrier from Charon became incredibly confident that they can even kill a storm spirit just by tackling it. This actually proved true as warriors that did not have any elemental mana would use their defenses and the elemental barrier Charon has given to kill the storm spirits.
Kimat is different as he is basically the devourer of the storm spirits. It was the storm spirits that are running away from Kimat instead of them attacking him. They finally met a divine beast capable of devouring their energy which scared off the storm spirits. Kimat also relished this event as he can now eat to his hearts content and refine the lightning in his own body.
Saena could be seen perched on top of the Tree of Life and Death and guarding it. If a storm spirit is able to reach the protected area, then she would blast them with a multicolored light beam. Any storm spirit that comes to her are immediately turned into nothingness. She would also send out healing pulses that restored 10% of all the allies’ health every minute.
The healing pulses came in clutch as this made the melee players go more on the offensive. The fact that they can get healed every minute by 10% of their health is a blessing. All of Saena’s basic abilities are empowered when she acts as the guardian of the Tree of Life and Death.
Dodu is the one that is having more difficulty in defeating storm spirits as it cannot physically damage them. Dodu is more suited for defeating enemies with physical bodies which is why it focused more on the defensive. Dodu split its body into multiple smaller slimes and rescued allies that are in danger.
If one saw a clear slime dragging a mage that became overexcited and experience mana poisoning, then they have seen what Dodu is doing. Dodu is basically acting like a medic on the battlefield that carries the injured back to safety. All mages that experienced mana poisoning were dragged near Saena where she can cleanse the status abnormality. Dodu is also making sure that it pays attention to the battlefield completely which is why it has scattered parts of itself in different floating islands.
Wisteria is actually near the Tree of Life and Death as well. She rolled a skill called Aroma Buffy. It is basically a skill that scatters a powerful and sweet scent to allies which increases all stats by 10% as long as they are in the area of effect. The area of effect should only have been one floating island but the resonance with the Tree of Life and Death made it possible to scatter in all of the floating islands.
All of the allies were now buffed and smelling fresh flowers which negated the nauseating mana scent of the storm spirits. Most of Adrian’s soulbounds are very active in the battlefield as those that can fly are fighting freely. It was not just Adrian and his soulbounds flying in the sky as the Daemos Corps are there as well as other players that can fly.
The Daemos Corps members can now show how powerful and frightening they really are. Despite only being low on numbers, the Daemos have overwhelming power using magics that can affect reality. One can even see Storm Spirits being frozen in time which should be quite difficult as beings of mana are more destructive when affected by origin magic.
One can even see space suddenly tearing up and swallowing storm spirits then bringing them to who knows where. Some storm spirits even dissipate immediately when they come in contact with a demon using a force magic shell. In summary, the arrival of the supernatural storm has turned it to a training ground for the Daemos.
One can even see Elder Bronx shouting energetically as he is basically acting as a drill sergeant to the Daemos. The Daemos that could be said to have just passed the age requirement are now being trained by Elder Bronx himself. All of the elders are also participating but some are participating more for their own benefit.
Elder Koronn could be seen experimenting with temporal magic on a storm spirit. He even made sure to trap one inside a glass which made him inadvertently created lightning in a bottle. The sight of one their own suddenly being trapped inside a bottle spooked the storm spirits. They are also running in fear as they want to get away from Elder Koronn.
Elder Ascalor was more nonchalant in this siege as he could be seen lounging about. He would create a black hole that can suck up storm spirits or two, but he acted like it was a normal occurrence. If the storm spirits could show emotions other than fear and anger, then they would have looked at Elder Koronn with a fully offended face. 𝑓𝑤𝘦ℴ𝓋.𝘤
There is even one area in the floating islands where the storm spirits cannot get inside which is Old Man Pann’s farm. One might think that Capricorns are only good for their savory and rich milk, but they have not seen them in their combat mode. The Capricorns are basically absorbing the storm spirits as well which made their wool coat shine and spark. One could even see them attempting a fashion show and one upping each other on who has the best wool look.
Old Man Pann could be seen catching storm spirit and feeding them to the baby Capricorns as if they are premium food. The new farm hand Vince could also be seen doing his fair share of work as he acted like a Capricorn Shepherd and directed the Capricorns where to go. If one could see a human being riding on top of a flock of Capricorns, then that would be Farmhand Vince.
There are also some storm spirits that attempted to go inside buildings but most residential areas in Avalon are pocket dimensions. The stores and such are mostly tents since only a select few buildings were made from stone. Also, storm spirits cannot pass through earthy terrain, or they will dissipate. The soil in Avalon is so rich in earthy nutrients that storm spirits die when they pass through the soil itself.
[All of your allies have destroyed 50% of the Storm Spirits.]
[The Supernatural Storm has weakened by 15%.]
Notifications could be seen as all of them managed to destroy half of the storm spirits. This resulted in the supernatural storm shrinking in size. With the souls of the dead no longer powering it up, the supernatural storm naturally grew weaker with more of its own storm spirits getting destroyed. This only made the player grow in morale as some even leveled up by fighting in this siege.
Everything would be fine if there were only weak storm spirits though but there are also incredibly strong ones. In fact, Adrian could see five Storm Spirits that he can confidently say that they are on the level of a Greater Elemental. These five also have unique forms and they looked more solid compared to the other storm spirits that looked like wraiths.
One of the stronger storm spirits took the form of a humanoid but its body is made up of dark clouds. The actual body itself is lightning being illuminated which makes it look like a small humanoid version of a living storm. Another storm spirit took the form of a large bear made of dark clouds but claws and fangs of lightning.
Another storm spirit took the form of a large eagle with feathers made of lightning and a body made of dark clouds. The fourth one that Adrian saw took the form of a humanoid made of lightning and wings made of dark clouds. The last one took the form of a large and robust stallion, but it was the one with the most solid body among them. These five storm spirits could be seen wreaking havoc on the battlefield and even killing some players in the process.
