Chapter 1053
Elder Ceo held out her hand as the mist around her trembled and formed into a ghostly bow that radiated a terrifying energy. Elder Ceo also became different looking like her hunting clothes are also imparted with some of the mist.
Her Mist Panther also experienced changes to its body as it grew to a height of three meters. The Mist Panther also had its upper fangs turn into larger more menacing tusks. It is no longer a Mist Panther but a Mist Sabretooth. It even made the Mist Mane Lion tremble as it became a more powerful cat family monster.
Elder Ceo grasped the bow as if it has a physical form even though it is made out of mist itself. She pulled the bow with her hands and an arrow made of pure mana materialized. The Mist Mane Lion immediately felt that its life is being threatened and started to run away in its mist form.
Elder Ceo did not show any uncertainty in her face as she released the bow with a stoic expression. She released the arrow and it pierced through the veil of the mist as if it was part of it. A loud shriek suddenly sounded in the distance as the body of the Mist Mane Lion became physical once more.
A hole could be seen on two of its legs as fresh blood poured out. The arrow that Elder Ceo released easily destroyed the thick defenses of the Mist Mane Lion. The field boss could be seen crying out in pain as the arrow is not just a normal arrow but also cancelled any healing capacities of those that are hit.
A powerful aura emanated from Elder Ceo as she is now on par with a Quasi Mythical Tier NPC. She has become an awakened Legendary Tier NPC which means she has become one of the powerhouses of the world. It seems that the deceased guardian of the Mist Elves back then knew of her potential which is why she was well protected.
"That is your punishment for killing a guardian." Elder Ceo stated in a voice filled with might.
"I am not dead yet though." A voice sounded from behind her which made Elder Ceo soften up.
When Levin Cloud blocked the attack for Elder Ceo, he already expected to die once and use his skill that lets him evade death by transforming into vines. These vines would then be scattered in the area near him which will make his body form. This skill can only activate if his body is intact if not then the full revival skill will take precedent.
The Mist Mane Lion Roar is a sound base attack that rips everything that it touches to shreds. This is also what happened to Levin Cloud as his body is literally blown to shreds. Due to this, the numerous vines that should have been close together that is needed to form his body got blown far away from each other. It took quite some time before he recovered all of his body just like Solstice that has just rematerialized now.
"Esteemed Guardian! You are alive. I thank the Twin Gods!" Elder Ceo stated as her sharp aura got toned down a little.
"Sorry about that. I should have informed you about my ability, but it seems that it also made you stronger." Levin Cloud stated as he could feel that Elder Ceo suddenly felt equal to one of the Elder Dryads and Elder Leshy in Alfheim.
"Uhm! Can you heal the Mist Rams first then? They are in critical condition." Creepysoo suddenly stated as he pointed at the two Mist Rams ion the verge of death.
"Right away! Please kill the Mist mane Lion then. It is already incapacitated. This is the perfect time to finish it off." Levin Cloud stated as he casted a wide area heal and two powerful singular healing spells at the Mist Rams.
The group then diverted their attention towards the Mist Mane Lion as they intend to finish it off, but a loud heartbeat suddenly sounded. The heartbeat actually came from within the Mist Mane Lion as it activated the power inside of it that it repressed. All of them suddenly felt something awfully familiar from the Mist Mane Lion.
Levin Cloud, Solstice and Creepysoo can find this type of energy as very familiar because they have encountered it before. A disgusting type of energy that corrupts everything in its path. An energy that can only come from the very antithesis of life.
"It has the same energy as a dark god." Solstice stated as she cautioned everyone to take distance.
If they are close to the body, then they might get infected as well. The Mist Mane Lion\'s body suddenly started to contort as the energy started to eat its body alive and transform it from the inside. The pale gray body of the Mist Mane Lion started to become darker in hue and numerous golden frog eyes suddenly started to sprout from its body.
Elder Ceo immediately knew that something is amiss which is why she fired numerous arrows towards the Mist Mane Lion. The arrows pierced its body, but the Mist Mane Lion no longer bled red blood but a blackish oil like blood with a pungent smell. The black blood dripped on the ground, and it immediately melted as a result.
"Poisonous blood. What could go wrong?" Creepysoo stated as he casted numerous debuffing spells but they are all suddenly blocked by an invisible force.
