Tag dashed forward, but he knew that he wouldn't make it on time as the Lichtar covered Fox Folk bolted. Serria stopped and then threw her cat paw cover hands up and into the air.
"Nectar of the Gods, I shed these Holy tears as my offer; Pelleta, HEED MY PRAYER!" Serria cried out as she brought her hands down and slammed them on the ground, but it was too late; the Fox was going to get her.
Three small objects slammed into the side of the Predator, causing the Fox to trip and barely miss Serria.
*SNAP!*
The air snapped open, and a doorway appeared, and vines shot out to restrain the Fox girl before she could fall and injure herself more. Pelleta walked out of the doorway, and her beautiful green dress had become a writhing sea of vines.
"The Fallen will go to any length to get their way, it seems, so we no longer have the luxury of sitting in the background. Thank you for summoning me, child, but I alone will not be enough. I can help with one," Pelleta said as she pulled the no longer struggling Fox woman.
Golden Nectar was leaking from the vines, and it was slowly washing over the Predator's body, covering her. As it did, the Lichtar was washed off her body, and the woman smiled with tears in her eyes as her entire body was covered in the clear golden liquid.
[Ashia's View]
The Elephant Folk crashed into me again, but I was barely able to defect it and lost part of my left arm. My second one circled around, and my body started to repair the damaged arm.
This was the second time now that my body had to try to rebuild it, and the new one was not as good as the original. What could I expect when fighting an Elephant?!
I drove in this time and started making rapid swings using both ends, but everyone of my strikes were blocked, and then I was forced back. Then, I felt and heard the sounds of Pelleta coming down from the God Realm, and I dodge a direct attack from the Predator.
*SNAP*
I pulled up the area on my map and locked onto where Pellata was appearing but lost focus when I saw who was almost attacked. Serria, what was she doing out here?! What was Ryan doing up there?
*SMASH!*
I took a direct hit that tore both my left arms and part of the shoulder as well. I smashed into the ground, but on the bounce, I was able to dig my lance in and catch myself, landing on my feet, but I had taken too much time.
The Predator almost smashed into me but used all my force to smash her away at the last second.
This was bad, and there was no way that I was going to be able to keep this up. No matter how much damage I did, nothing seemed to phase her, and it was like fighting another drone; only complete destruction could stop one of us, and I wasn't ready for that option yet.
"Complete your Hive Task! I just confirmed that Nectar will reverse the effects of Lichtar! Call Beezli; that is your only option!" Hilda buzzed to me, and I didn't waste a second, and the Predator got up again.
[Hive Task] Complete!
*CRACK!*
"THAT IS IT! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THESE MOTHER FUCKING FALLEN ON MY MOTHER FUCKING PLAINS! Beezli screamed from the other side of the crack in the air, but she did not appear.
[Legendary Skill: Beezli's Golden Shower] Activated!
The tear in the sky was directly over top of the mountain, and it was opening wider and wider until it covered the entire mountain. Then, golden drops of sticky rain started to fall down in torrents.
"What are you doing?!" The Elephant woman screamed at me, but she wasn't angry; I could see tears in her eyes as she fell to her knees.
All over the mountainside, Predators stopped struggling and sank down onto the ground. Each one of them was slowly covered in the Golden Nectar that Beezli was raining down.
"I wasn't sure if you were going to realize it in time, but you did. Now I can save the ones that are still alive, but you and I will need to have another talk about this very soon; this is not good. The Lichtar alone used was not out of the ordinary, but if someone is able to control people using it, then that person is not a mortal," Beezli said as she lighted down beside me in the rain.
"Couldn't you pick a better name for your skill? And what do you mean by not being a mortal?" I asked.
The mountain had become quiet once more, but now it was covered in golden bodies. Even the Wax Prisons had popped, and the white and red cloaks had melted off like the Lichtar, making it very likely to be made from it.
"I think it suits my mood at the moment. Pelleta and I are Gods to you, but we refer to ourselves as the Risen. We rose to our places as gods by leading our people to greatness, but we did not die the death that would push us forward to the next life. Instead, we must Guide you to become successful so we can move on to the next world with you," Beezli explained.
"That still doesn't explain what the Fallen are and why they are doing this," I said to her, but Beezli shook her head with a smile.
"I was getting to that; I do need more wind in my lungs to talk, even if I don't need it to live. The Fallen are those that chose to lead the world into chaos but failed to die the great death, and now they have resurrected a Fallen Hero. The problem is that he has summoned a Fallen into this world like Hilda and I asked for you to do. Lichtar is a dark medium that the Fallen can use to subvert others, but they need to have a Fallen Hero to act as the Catalyst," Beezli explained.
I had a hundred questions, but this was good for now. I would need to talk more after completing my last Hive Task.
