Chapter 240 - The Living Attacks
Adrian had a limited amount of time for his transformation so he needed to kill the doom knight within that time frame. The doom knight is not his only problem as the undead called Gheist is once again wreaking havoc in the battle field. Adrian did not know what ability that the masked undead is using in order to become numerous.
He is now a lot bigger than the doom knight he is currently facing. Some would think that due to Adrian\'s size that he could easily flick away the doom knight but that is actually far from the truth. Adrian could barely push the doom knight away despite his doubled stats and the status deductions of the doom knight.
At the other site of the battlefield, Sirius in his nether form is speedily killing off the masked undead that Gheist is spawning. Now that Sirius\' attacks are coated with nether energy, he can easily kill generic masked undead that Gheist is spawning. By using Phantom Rush, Sirius even defeated a hundred of the generic masked undead that Gheist manifested.
Kanlaon is told to focus on the ghost ships that is currently spawning the pirate undead or drowned sailor undead. Kanlaon used his breath that is now riddled with nether energy to deal heavy damage on the ghost ships. The screams of something like a boat siren could be heard all throughout town.
Saena did the most for anyone in the battlefield. All her heals could cover the whole field that the nether mist touches. Her heals could also enchant the attacks, weapons and spells of every player or living NPC in the town. Due to her, Adrian gets a sweet collection of experience points as her heals counts as kill participation.
Charon is no longer able to use Soul Siphon for another week because he absorbed all the health of the undead that is present in the nether mist. Though he is now spreading nether mist on all the undead in the field due to Charon\'s lamp emitting nether mist. The nether mist emitted in his lamp causes the undead to get damage per second by the nether mist that acts like a poison to the undead.
The living players found joy on their new found powers as they clear the waves of low leveled undead with such ease. The players turned undead however could not find this funny as they now face having the mission they got upon turning to an undead to smoke.
The players that became undead are now regretting their decision on turning to an undead. There were no players in the 150 that turned into an undead because they would lose all their accomplishments when they were living beings. The only ones who chose to become an undead are those who just turned level 100 or those who have yet to have a standing.
Some of the living players in the Seaswirl Port are above level 100 while the higher leveled ones in the level 140 and above are that of the top guilds. The newly created undead players stood no chance against them despite the aura of the doom knight that strengthened the undead by 20%.
The main reason the undead players are losing is because of two factors. The first factor is an outside variable called the Nether Domain. The nether domain basically acts as a domain skill that makes any beings that are not created or allied with the twin gods partially atrophied. The Paranoia passive also makes all the skill shots miss by 50%.
The second factor is an inside variable that is related to the players unfamiliarity with their new race. Just because someone changing to become an undead does not mean that they will immediately erase their past habits. This is one of the reasons why they are losing to the living players.
The players who had become an undead has yet to rewrite their habits as a living player. The undead players no longer had to worry about stamina and status ailments and such. This is one of the reasons why the undead players unconsciously hold back their movements and such. After all, old habits die hard.
There are some exceptions to this rule as about a handful of undead players have adapted pretty quickly. Though a handful is not enough to turn the tides when the Nether Domain is affecting the whole area. The living players with their nether enchantment are now running amok against the undead as their attacks became more effective.
If anyone told someone that a force of a thousand strong are now pressuring a force that is ten thousand strong then nobody would actually believe it. The doom knight is now pressured due to Adrian and could not issue immediate commands to the undead which is why the low tier undead are a scattered flock.
Gheist, the masked undead, is also having a difficult time due to how fast Sirius is killing off the masked undead it is producing. It seems Sirius found a way to use his Shadow Domain with Nether Domain. Sirius would use omnidirectional attacks like spikes made of shadows that is enchanted with nether energy to easily kill the masked undead.
Kanlaon already sunk one of the ghost ships using his breathe attack but there are still two more of the ghost ships. Even Saena drained her stamina by continuously healing and enchanting all of the living players inside the domain. Saena is visibly exhausted and even Adrian could see Saena\'s stamina bar blinking red.
Even Adrian\'s transformation is nearing its end but he had yet to get the doom knight to half health. The timer for the transformation finally run out and the Nether Blast skill immediately activated. Adrian accumulated all the nether mist in the area in an aggressive manner.
The doom knight feeling the gravity of the situation had no choice but to activate the token that is given to it by its master. The doom knight immediately crushed the token that looked like a skull ring. A shockwave of power is then released from the crushed ring and then a door made of skulls appeared.
