Chapter 859: Corrupted
Chapter 859: Corrupted
Boom!
The Airship trembled under the weight of two opposing forces that were in the Airship...
Luckily, the Airship had already landed in a forest though it created so much damage because it was now a proper dock.
Farah, the Avatar of the Fortune Goddess, stood at the center of the deck, her presence was like the existence of divine light itself.
Around her, ten Dark Arcanists, each possessed by a Spectral Lord, gathered in a circle. Their eyes glowed with an eerie luminescence, and their auras pulsed with dark energy.
She had actually allowed them to surround her to ensure that the other Holy Arts Practitioners would have a chance to escape!
Then, Farah's voice rang out...
"You shall not corrupt this world with your darkness."
As she said this, a burst of light started searing through the bodies of the possessed Dark Arcanists.
However, the Spectral Lords, speaking through their hosts, laughed.
They weren't feeling any pain from the attack, nor scaring them to back off.
"You cannot stop us, Immortal. Your body will simply become our fuel."
Farah frowned as she realized that the Spectral Lords were different from the ones she had encountered before. Normally, they should be capable of surviving her Radiant Light once she cast it. However, right now, her Holy Spell was completely defended.
It seemed that she had to use her Divine Arts...
That would be quite annoying since she planned to preserve her strength against the Shadow Immortal. Previously, she had visited the Shadow Immortals castle, only to realize that the castle was actually being defended by three True Immortals!
They weren't Avatars but Immortals who should've transcended from Realm already.
However, for some reason, the Divinity of these True Immortals was still pure and wasn't being stained by the impurities of this Realm!
Because of that, she really had no other choice but to rethink her plans. She decided to wait until the Shadow Immortal came out of his castle and captured him instead.
It might take a very long time, but she was willing to wait!
"Tsk... Do you think I will again?!" Farah was already feeling annoyed because of the failure she had met. Right now, she simply couldn't accept that she was being forced by these ten Vessels!
With a swift motion, Farah summoned her Divine Arts.
She no longer cared whether she would use most of her Divinity at this point!
Whom~
A radiant shield enveloped her, and beams of light shot forth, targeting the Spectral Lords. The first wave of light struck, but the Dark Arcanists countered with spells of their own.
Thousands of specters suddenly rose from the ground!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
They have twisted and writhed figures as they formed barriers that absorbed the divine assault.
Boom!
One of the Spectral Lords, dwelling a tall, skinny Arcanist, raised his hands.
"Spectral Bind!" he called out. Then, thousands of spectral hands snaked towards Farah, seeking to ensnare her.
Of course, the others didn't just watch as some of them locked the surrounding space, ensuring that the Avatar would not be able to escape using Space techniques that Immortals would normally use.
Farah's eyes blazed with fury as she felt that they were looking down on her!
They weren't even using Divine Arts to defeat her; they were simply using Spirit Arts or Dark Spirit Techniques in order to contain her!
"Divine Purge!" she cried, and a wave of holy fire erupted from her, incinerating the spectral hands aiming for her.
With this Divine Art, the Spectral Lords recoiled, but one of them immediately stepped forward, casting a spell that turned the air around Farah into a suffocating miasma.
It happened so quickly, and as soon as the others saw that the miasma could drown the Divinity of the Immortal, they immediately followed.
Gasping for breath, Farah summoned her strength.
"Blessed Wind!" she invoked, and a gust of purifying air dispelled the miasma. Once again, Divinity was used on that spell!
Then, she retaliated with a barrage of light arrows, each one aimed to the heads of the Spectral Lords!
Each arrow contained some of her Divinity and trait that could cleanse any evil or malevolent forces! In short, this Spell could also be considered a curse once the Spectral Lords were hit! The Spectral Lords took this attack seriously as they realized that even if their opponent was only an Avatar, some of them might have to sacrifice in order to win this battle.
They weren't capable of doing that since it would danger the Vessel or the body they currently have.
Nonetheless, they knew that they still had a chance as long as they're careful.
They combined their powers, weaving a net of ghosts that threatened to engulf Farah.
"Veil of Despair!" they chanted in unison, and the sky above the Airship darkened, blotting out the stars!
Farah's Divine Shield flickered under the intense miasma, trying to enter her body!
She knew she had to change tactics. With a powerful leap, she propelled herself off the Airship... There was a barrier of darkness around, but with a slam of her hands, it was immediately destroyed...
Then, she found a perfect place to continue the battle as she landed on a nearby mountain
peak.
The Spectral Lords hesitated for a moment before they followed her, their forms gliding through the air like wraiths!
On the mountain, the battle intensified.
Farah drew upon the mountain's natural energies, channeling them into her Divine Arts.
"Nature's Grace!" she called, and the ground beneath her feet glowed with a sacred light... It was her Domain!
This was her protection against the Spectral Lords but also against those people who had been watching the battle secretly.
'Who are those people?' Farah frowned as she only noticed them after leaving the Airship's deck. It means that these people weren't simply at all!
Nonetheless, she doesn't have the time to think about those people as she fought against these unique Spectral Lords...
'Tsk... These Vessels are too weird... How are they so strong?' Farah complained.
She felt that there was something wrong with these Dark Arcanists or Vessels. They shouldn't
be that strong and capable of housing Spectral Lords who could fight against an Immortal like
her!
Then, as she observed them carefully while trying to enter her Domain...
Then, at this moment, she realized that the bodies of the Vessels were emitting a small
amount of Corrupted Divinity!
