In this regard, she made the last fellow of the Five Generals look like a complete idiot, for the fellow was clearly playing around, right?
Kiran stood before the grey rot with his hands folded behind his back, a look of young master like disdain on his handsome face. It was as if he wanted to the grey rot to retreat on its own after daring to offend him, but who the hell did this fellow think he was?!
The grey rot didn't seem to think he was anything special too since it ignored him completely and continued its clamber forward at a very slow pace. This seemed to infuriate Kiran as he clapped his hands together and manifested a golden energy around his body.
「Name: Dark Monk – True God
Level: The Law of Cultivating Immortality (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.」
「Law of Cultivating Immortality - Divine Law
Grade: EX+
Effect: This law is an accumulative one, with a great many of utilities. It main focus lies in allowing the user to transform external and Internal Divine Energy into Immortal Energy, which can be used to power special spells, skills and techniques.
Sources: The Immortal (Divine Class) + Spirit Cultivation (Active Skill).」
The description was short, but the utility was not. This law was quite likely the most diverse and varied among all the core members, with a range of uses and abilities that Kiran himself hadn't fully dug out yet.
The main one followed the same general trend as his former Divine class, to basically cultivate like he was in the eastern fantasy section of Boundless. The difference was that rather than take spiritual energy into spirit qi, a special allowance was made for him to convert Worldly and Aetheric energy into spiritual qi previously.
The only player who could do this was him, due to his special bloodline ability. Only Ghostpro could copy this at times due to his own special class abilities, but they were the only two among the players.
Interestingly, Nakiu, Tianzi and Xuer'er all gained True God laws of the Immortal series, but their prefixes were different.
Between the chasm of mortal and immortal was the same gasp between mortal and god in western fantasy vs eastern fantasy. A True God here was an Immortal there and vice versa, with the literal same upgrade process.
Once one reached mahayana or ascension, they would begin to shed their mortal shell and transform into a half-immortal by either cultivating their body into an immortal body or comprehending an immortal law.
Then once they got the other bit, they would full ascend and become a True Immortal, akin to a basic law stage True God. Yes, the system was similar to the western fantasy combat rank and state of being as well as similar to Control's BoG/VoP in terms of the 'half first, half later' thing.
Kiran obviously had both due to the ascension road mechanics of giving players both at once, so his True God/Immortal Law was such and his State of Being/Immortal Body was also such.
The first benefit Kiran had over others was two powerful energy types. Divine Energy and Immortal Energy were ranked the same on the energy leaderboard, and he could easily alternate between their use.
He could fuel his immortal skills with Divine Energy or use Immortal Energy, with differing effects. The only limitation was that he had to convert the energy manually, so Divine Energy and immortal energy were separated.
He could only have the two energies share his Source Origin's space. So if others had 100% quantity of 1,200,000 units of Divine Energy, Kiran could only split into a ratio, like 50:50, 99:1 or whatever he wanted.
The second benefit Kiran had was that he could manually increase the space of his source origin. After all, cultivation at the immortal level was about two things' increasing ones law and increasing ones immortal energy.
"You!!" Keira was furious and pointed at Hera, but Lucia quickly intervened.
"Let's party up anyway, Hera's idea is correct. Besides we have to do at least 5 kilometers of clearing today, 2.5km for you and 2.5km for me before doing the Divine Trial." Lucia reminded, making Keira calm down.
"Hmph, you're lucky. When we're done, don't try to run away shorty." Keira said maliciously to Hera, to which the floating woman sniffed arrogantly to. Lucia was used to it and rolled her eyes.
They formed a party together, in which Keira would be the damage dealer and Lucia would grant her buffs and try to heal her fast enough to prevent the grey rot from emptying her HP bar.
「Name: Killer Queen – True God
Level: The Law of Titanic Combat (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.」
「Law of Titanic Combat - Divine Law
Grade: EX
Effect: This law focuses on the area of utilizing the strength of one's body in unarmed combat against foes. It is a dual offensive and defensive law, able to grant its user immense strength for battles and also resilient defense against head-on attacks. It can be applied to the body, to skills, or even to techniques.
Sources: Titaness (Divine Class) + Law of Battle (Passive).」
This law was the reason Keira was limited, because unlike the others who used weapons and had powerful ranged skills, all her attacks were head-on and direct. Her abilities were powerful and did immense damage, putting her in the top 10 highest DPS among core members of Umbra, but its weakness was shown here.
The grey rot was obviously an enemy you wanted to bombard from afar, not punch when close. Usually, True Gods with ranged attacks would pair up with physical attack True Gods, one would clear the grey rot and the other would clear the grey rot manifestations.
The grey rot manifestations dissolved energy and elements fast, so it was best to use physical attacks to deal with them while the ambient grey rot mist was slow in dispersing energy but quick to corrode physical lifeforms into its own warriors.
Right now, Keira could only cycle through her skills to find those with useful AOE that didn't require her to get too close. She found two of them, one which was extremely useful, and her eyes couldn't help but shine.
However, her eyes dimmed because both would not deal much damage to the grey rot mist, but would probably work wonders on the manifestations. Anyway, it was better than making Lucia do it because the lass had meager offensive power.
Keira knocked her fists together and jumped into the sky, reaching the height of a skyscraper before coming down like a missile, the air creaking and groaning with the sheer force of her strength while an aura of power built up around her.
「Earthshaker Punch - Active Skill
Effect: The Titaness channels her inner strength and delivers a devastating punch to the ground that affects an Area Zone. This unleashes shockwaves that ripple through the earth, knocking back and stunning nearby enemies. The force of the punch also creates temporary fissures in the ground, causing enemies to take 400% continuous damage if they remain in the affected area.
Duration: 15 minutes
Cooldown: 15 minutes or 0.000008 Divine Points.」
When the fist connected with the ground, an explosive shockwave occurred that caused the winds to blow in all directions while the land itself shook, creating cracks in the ground that seemed to lead to an inescapable abyss.
