BXBX NOVEL Chapter 922
"Fool! Touching me will only transfer my entity towards your body. A body like yours will be much better than this mortal meatsack!" The possessed Apolaki stated as a blackish substance suddenly latched onto the hand that touched the former\'s body.
"That is what I expected. Protector of the Forest!" Levin Cloud stated as his body started to shift into a gigantic form.
Leaves started to swirl around Levin Cloud\'s body as his form started to change into something monstrous looking. His skin started to change into bark while his hair turned into a mixture of dried thorny vines and luscious green leaves.
Levin Cloud\'s head became a skeletal appearance of a stag while thick horns protruded from the side. His feet turned into bark like hooves while his hands turned into sharp tree branches that had thorns in the inside of his palm. Levin Cloud\'s body exuded a black aura with a green light outline as his empty socket eyes also had the same glow.
Apolaki, Lupa and Hangin marveled at the real appearance of Levin Cloud as they have never seen a being like that before. All dryads and leshies are sort of unique because their forms represent the energy they harness and the plant that they drew inspiration from. Levin Cloud\'s form is due to the fact that Yewdrassil is the plant that he gained inspiration from as it is the only plant that has both life and death energy.
When Levin Cloud fully transformed into his true form, his left arm could be seen growing mushroom as the parasitic dark god\'s shadow attempted to take over his body. This would have been easy if Levin Cloud was still an elf and moderate difficulty if he was a normal leshy. The parasitic dark god\'s shadow made a grave error in trying to devour the soul of a being that walks between life and death.
The parasitic dark god\'s shadow did not stop as it will not be able to take another vessel. Rather, it will not be able to jump to another host unless someone touches Levin Cloud. It thought that it had the chance as the mushrooms have already propagated on the leshy\'s arm.
Levin Cloud looked at his arm that is filled with poisonous mushrooms and noticed that it is also a form of energy. The only thing different is that the energy that the parasitic dark god\'s shadow takes on is miasma while the energy from Levin Cloud\'s body is from mana. As the Envoy of the Twin Gods, Levin Cloud is also filled with miasma that comes from death energy.
Energy from the dead is also polluted in some way as it should not be normally present in the mortal plane. Death energy only became apparent due to the God of Death Abaddon agreeing with the covenant with the Undead King.
There is one thing that is true when Adrian and Levin Cloud are in their true form and that is their energy dependence. Their energy dependence consumes a lot from them which is why they can only reveal their true form for a certain period of time. In other words, their body is always hungry for energy and will devour it to sustain their true form.
The miasma on his left arm is then believed by his body as an energy source. The parasitic dark god\'s shadow that is taking its time devouring Levin Cloud\'s soul suddenly felt it being pulled by something. Something more powerful than its current self even if it is part of a dark god.
The parasitic dark god\'s shadow tried resisting the pull, but it could not stop it. It could feel that something akin to a black hole or a bottomless abyss is trying to collect it for energy. Levin Cloud also noticed that the mushrooms on his arms started to reduce in size while some outright became rotten.
"No! How can this be!" The parasitic dark god\'s shadow thought as it prevented this bottomless abyss from absorbing it.
"What is happening?" Levin Cloud thought as even he does not know what is happening. He only knew that he could fortify his soul with his true form which will make the possession slower. He also thought of immediately cutting off his arm when it got possessed but something in him hungered.
"If this is how it will play out then I will devour your soul at the core!" The parasitic dark god\'s shadow stated as it no longer prevented itself from being pulled.
A black mass could be seen travelling from Levin Cloud\'s left arm towards his chest. This is the travel path of the parasitic dark god\'s shadow as it wanted to absorb Levin Cloud\'s core. What it did not know is that would be the greatest mistake of its pathetic life.
Even if the parasitic dark god\'s shadow is a fragment of a dark god that devoured a fragment of a god, it took heavy damage from spirit weapons and holy magic. It weakened to the point that it can only rival a demigod\'s soul. It is still strong but not as strong as before which is why it made a mistake when possessing an Envoy that had been a vessel of a goddess.
When the parasitic dark god\'s shadow reached Levin Cloud\'s soul core, a fearsome beast that is ten times scarier in appearance of his true form is present. This fearsome leshy smiled as it suddenly manifested branches to pierce the parasitic dark god\'s shadow.
