Chapter 623: Followers of the Dark God II

Adrian is now planning his revenge for Creepysoo while the others are busy dealing with the followers of the dark gods. The ones who already went and did their duty are Levin Cloud's group. Specifically, Dragoon managed to injure the ones that are doing some sort of spell.

The spell that the followers of the dark god look like they are summoning some sort of black crystal that cannot be identified by Levin Cloud's group. They do not know what the black crystal does, and they do not want to know.

"Group up! The archer must be near our location. I will protect you while you guys continue with the ritual." A person that seems to be the leader of the group stated as he brought his shield up.

The plan that the leader of the team is supposed to be fool proof but there are two people in the group that excels at group damage. Levin Cloud has great support spells that use crowd control while Peridot is now channeling her spell.

"Bramble!" Levin Cloud cast as thorny vines emerged from the ground and acted like a snake towards the followers of the dark gods.

"What is this!? The enemy is not just one. It might be a group." One of the mages from the followers of the dark god stated as his casting got cancelled. The mages experienced backlash from their spell being cancelled.

"Block!"  The leader of the followers of the dark god group stated as he raised his shield up to clock from the direction where the vines came from. The shield emanated an aura that became a barrier that blocked attacks from the location where the caster is facing.

"Bellowing Wind!" Peridot finished casting her spell and a big sphere made of air appeared above the followers of the dark gods.

The wind sphere suddenly dropped from above them. All the followers of the dark god got blown away by the wind sphere. As soon as the followers of the dark gods got spread out, Dragoon used a skill that fired numerous amounts of arrows to the healer of the follower of the dark gods' group.

"Can we reach an agreement? We are all players here. We are only doing the mission that is entrusted to us. It would be a great help if you guys do not attack us. I am sure that you guys know the feeling of doing a mission right?" The leader of the followers of the dark gods stated but he is just buying enough time.

The two assassins from the group of the followers of the dark god use that chance to disappear from the eyesight of Levin Cloud's group. They always lingered a distance away from their group which is why they wanted to kill the mages of the enemy group.

Levin Cloud's group showed themselves since surprise attacks will no longer work due to the members of the followers of the dark gods are all out in defense. The followers of the dark god aw their opponents and knew who they were. Adrian's group is the center of attention when they showed up in the battlefield.

"If you want us to stop then can you also stop what you guys are doing? The ground beneath you is screaming from the pain that you are subjecting it to." Levin Cloud stated which made the followers of the dark gods have a look of bewilderment.

"Is he serious? I think he is too absorbed in the game that he created an alter ego. I did not think that there are still people like that." One of the mages of the followers of the dark gods stated as they casted support magic to increase the damage of their assassins.

One of the assassins attacked Levin Cloud while the other targeted Peridot. The assassin that appeared and attacked Peridot got blocked by a barrier that burned him. The assassin that attacked Levin Cloud succeeded in connecting the attack. The dagger that the assassin struck Levin Cloud's back, but he did not gain damage.

Levin Cloud's body became vines and returned back to the soil. The assassin got shocked and wanted to flee but vines suddenly shoot out from the ground and bound him to the location. The assassin tried to dispel the spell using his skill, but he is already too late. Dragoon shot the assassin with numerous arrows until he became a porcupine.

The assassin died and became particles of light while the other assassin is now her feet frozen in place by Peridot's spell. She then bombarded the assassin with low cooldown spells that she could cast indefinitely. The followers of the dark gods saw their group members die and became emotional.

"You dare!" The leader of the group stated as he charged towards Kabrakan. Kabrakan easily blocked the attack and started to counterattack. The mages at the back no longer have any defense and got killed off by both Peridot and Dragoon. With their priest player gone, they could not sustain themselves throughout the battle.

A few minutes later, the followers of the dark god are now cleared. Levin Cloud asked the others, but they have yet to reply since they are busy with the battle. Levin Cloud looked at the black crystal that is already peeking from the ground. When he used Inspect, the black crystal only showed question marks.

"I think we should capture people in order to question what they are trying to summon. My hunch says that the crystal will somehow help the followers of the dark god." Levin Cloud stated but the others looked at him with a shocked expression.

"You do know that we cannot throw one of them in prison. We are not even nobles." Peridot stated.

"Who said that we should be nobles? You have a skill that prevents people from casting magic while I have indefinite crowd control. We just need to pressure one of them." Levin Cloud stated which made the three give him looks of discomfort.

The next group that easily handled the followers of the dark gods which consisted of Heala, Knight, Soleil and Vayu. Both Heala and Knight are shocked upon seeing the great damage that the father and daughter duo dealt to the followers of the dark gods.

The followes of the dark gods could not even catch the speed at which Vayu moved through the battlefield. He literally moved like the wind and even dodged like the wind since spells barely touched his body. Soleil on the other hand easily burnt the follower of the dark gods to a crisp.

The only downside in their group is that they are a bit late in dealing with the summoning as the black crystal is halfway up the ground. Since Soleil and Vayu are half elementals, they can also hear the voice of the earth screaming from the pain that the black crystal is doing to it.

"The ground is in pain." Soleil stated which Vayu agreed while only Knight is dumbfounded.

Heala could also hear the voice as she is a nymph and an envoy of a goddess. She could not even tolerate the screeching that the ground is doing. She unconsciously used Purification on the black crystal, and it lost some of its color, but it is still a shade of black. The screeching of the earth became bearable for her though.

[Cannot fully Purify the ???. The level of the Purify skill is too low for the crystal to be purified. A higher tier cleanse skill must be used.]

Heala immediately saw the chat that Levin Cloud sent to them. Heala told her to try and purify the black crystal. The purification is successful, but the black crystal has yet to be destroyed. They could feel that something is amiss from the actions of the followers of the dark gods.

====

The group that has no purification spell are the remaining team which consists of Sprout, Leila, Lycan, and Solstice. In this group, the ones who are surprised is Lycan and Solstice as they got buffs that are close to godlike in tier.

They easily finished off the followers of the dark god thanks to her buff that doubled their damage. Lycan and Solstice are both hard hitters when it comes to darkly lit or at night. The followers of the dark gods did not stand a chance. They got finished off in two or three attacks or skills.

"Sprout is such a great support player. I am sure that teams that do tournaments will want to recruit her." Lycan stated as he likes watching tournaments for Pandemonium.

"The ground is crying." Sprout stated as she pointed at the black crystal that almost fully sprouted.

The group investigated and received a message from Levin Cloud and Heala. They do not have someone that has Purify which is why they could not test the theory. It is Sprout that came close to the crystal and summoned a spirit of a tree and shot the energy she gathered on the black crystal. The black crystal cracked upon being hit by the spell that Sprout used.
