Chapter 1469: The Dread Village II

[You have seen the origin of the Dread Village.]

[You are now being returned to the battle instance.]

All of them regained their vision and looked at Creepysoo. They were looking at him with judging eyes as he was the one that basically activated the Dread Village. They were not able to get a sneak attack because he was tasty in the eyes of the Dread Village.

”It is not my fault that I am an Elder Wight.” Creepysoo stated.

”At least, we have the enemy in front of us now.” Adrian muttered as all of them were given objectives.

==

[The Dread Village cores have spawned in different locations across the village.]

[Destroy the four smaller cores in order to make the core of the Dread Village show up.]

All of them received notifications of the Dread Village having four cores that need to be broken. The cores that they need to break are the smaller cores that protect the core of the Dread Village from any invader. The smaller cores look like haunted lanterns that float around an area.

”Each of us need to destroy one of the cores. Spread out!” Adrian stated as the whole area suddenly shook once more.

The scene of the village was just a bit worn down and dilapidated, but it started to change once again. The whole village was covered in a black shadow, and it transformed into an area filled with darkness. If all of them did not have the Night Vision and Dark Vision passive skill, then they would not be able to see inside it.

The whole village transformed into a shadow village as the walls of the houses became black as shadows. The only sources of light would be the strange pale green lights being emitted from the windows of the houses. The whole village has transformed into its full entity.

[You have been trapped inside the Dread Village.]

[You have been applied with the status ailment, Dread.]

[You will receive one stack of Dread for every ten minutes that you stay inside the Dread Village.]

==

Status Ailment: Dread

Number of Stacks: 1 (Maximum of 30)

Effect: Decrease the stats of the affected unit in percentage by the number of stacks that they have.

==

It was not only them receiving the Dread stacks that will prevent them from destroying the four lantern cores. Monsters started to rise up from the shadows and they were none other than the souls that the Dread Village has devoured. It is now using all of its minions to deal with the intruders.

==

Monster Name: Dread Beast

Tier: Epic

Level: 250

HP: 100%

MP: 100%

Description: Monsters that are said to resemble undead but are actually souls of the victims of the Dread Mansion. It is filled the Dread Aura as it has been living inside the Dread Village for so long. Any physical contact with this being will give them a stack of Dread.

==

The Dread Beasts came in all shapes and sizes as they were not only humanoid in appearances. The shapes and appearances varied from human, bird, dogs, cats, and even bulls. Each of the Dread Beasts spawned every two minutes which means they must destroy the cores as fast as they possible can.

”I think this place needs a little bit of green! Descent of the Tree of Life and Death!” Levin Cloud stated as he sent a powerful burst of energy to the clouds which actually pierced the pocket dimension that the Dread Village created.

The skies opened up and a seed fell to the ground. The seed was swallowed up the ground as if it was being welcomed by it. In under a few seconds, a large and powerful tree that was lush and dry on both sides sprouted.

[The Tree of Life and Death, Yewdrassil, has taken root.]

[All beings that are influenced by the Tree of Life and Death Yewdrassil are buffed.]

Peridot might not be directly influenced by the Tree of Life and Death, but she was still in a party with the others. She transformed into her Ryujin form once more and used Moon Caller. Despite the moon on the horizon of the special space being an illusion, it actually answered Peridotʼs call.

The meteors that were coming down from the moon had the look of jack-o-lanterns. The meteors were even laughing as it came down from the skies. She made sure to have the area where the lanterns crash be where one of the lantern cores is located.

[Your party member, Peridot, has destroyed one of the cores of the Dread Village.]

[Cores that needed to be destroyed to show the main core of the Dread Village: 3/4]

[Quickly destroy the other cores before the destroyed core regenerates.]

”I have done my part. You guys can go and destroy the other cores that are farther away. I will protect the Tree of Life and Death.” Peridot stated as she hovered around and used spells to repel the Dread Beasts.

”Understood.” All three of them stated as they split up to the locations of the other cores.

Creepysoo knew that he must not use his God Descent skill just yet as he needs to save that for the last fight. He rode with Don Quixote towards the east of the village where they saw one of the smaller cores. Just as Creepysoo is about to command Robin Hoodie to destroy the core, it was suddenly swallowed by a large Dread Beast that looked different from the rest.

==

Monster Name: Dread Phantom Guzzler

Tier: Semi-Legendary

Level: 275

HP: 100%

MP: 100%

Description: A Phantom Guzzler undead that has bathe in Dread Aura which made it become an advanced monster of its species. It is not yet fully evolved as it is not powerful enough to completely absorb the Dread Aura it is bathing in for centuries.

==

”A Phantom Guzzler of all things.” Creepysoo muttered as he knew how difficult it was to go against such undead.

Phantom Guzzlers are undead that like to eat spiritual entities which mean that it has the capability to eat magic attacks. Undead might have a physical body but most of their damage stems from magic damage as they use miasma in their attacks. To make matters worse for Creepysoo, he does not have an idea on what changed it as it became a Dread Phantom Guzzler.

”Guardian of the Forest! Vanguard form!” Levin Cloud stated as he transformed into his true form.

[You have transformed into your true form. All stats will rise.]

[You have changed to your Vanguard Form. Stats will be rearranged.]

A glaive made of wood and thorns came to his hand as his vanguard form made him look like a centaur and Leshy hybrid. He charged towards the lantern only to encounter a strange Dread Beast that is the shape of a snake. It was not just a monster that was a snake, but it was actually a wyrm.

==

Monster Name: Dread Bone Wyrm

Tier: Semi-Legendary

Level: 275

HP: 100%

MP: 100%

Description: A Bone Wyrm that has changed to an advanced species thanks to the Dread Aura. It has a powerful appetite for bones, and it prefers fresh ones. The exoskeleton it covers with its body is actually made of Dread Aura as it no longer has any flesh as it is all bone.

==

The small core that looked like a lantern was actually located at the throat of the Dread Bone Wyrm that manifested. The Dread Village knew that its small cores will be in danger of being easily destroyed since a few meteors in an area was enough to destroy one. The Dread Bone Wyrm is one of the undead monsters that was tasked to protect it.

Levin Cloud did not waver, but he is a bit wary of the Dread Bone Wyrm. The dread beast is much bigger than him despite him entering his true form. It is not farfetched to say that the Dread Bone Wyrm can swallow Levin Cloud whole if it wanted to.

”Nether Domain! Netheros True Form! Limit Break: Summoner!” Adrian stated as he reached the area of the last small core.

Like the other cores, the core in front of him is also guarded by a powerful dread beast. He actually lucked out as he chose the most powerful of the three guardians. It was none other than a Dread Dragon. It almost looked like a Dark Dragon, but it was so eerie and unsettling to look at.

==

Monster Name: Dread Dragon

Tier: Legendary

Level: 285

HP: 100%

MP: 100%

Description: An undead dragon that has evolved into a beast that can utilize the Dread Aura. It has fully absorbed the Dread Aura that the Dread Village emitted. Just a simple breath of the Dread Dragon can make any target experience immense dread. It is said to be an extermination target of living dragons as it is a slap in the face for one of them to become such a hideous being.
