YM778.TV Chapter 1206: Clearing The Grey Rot 5
Naturally, in this setting, it was meaningless since the grey rot was not like a typical mist or gaseous entity. While the fissures were open, some parts of the grey rot did move within, but the main issue here was that the grey rot\'s slow advance rate made it seem like patiently waiting for an aged elder to cross a busy highway.
Keira saw this and felt amused. She immediately launched her other skill that was a ranged attack with some form of magical damage effect to see if it was good enough to handle the problem before her.
｢Final Smash – Active skill
Effect: Explode with your accumulated aura and jump into the air, shouting \'NOW WATCH THE POWER OF AURA\' then unleash it all as a beam from mid-air at an inclined angle downwards. This deals 5,000% aura damage per second to those struck by it.
Duration: 1 minute
Cooldown: 10 minutes or 0.000001 Divine Points.｣
Keira\'s body exploded with a brownish-red light as she jumped high into the sky, her body burning with the flames of the ethereal energy called Aura that was at a tier higher than Worldly Energy but below Aetheric Energy.
Now infused with her law and Divine Energy, it merged to form a golden color and seemed to almost be alive, causing Hera and Lucia\'s faces to change as they felt a slight suppression.
Keira didn\'t realize this as she went hough the motions of the skill.
"Now watch the power of Aura… Huuuuarrraggghhhh!" She roared finally as she unleashed the full wave of her golden energy in the form of a think beam of condensed power, lancing throughout the area she targeted slowly, like an orbital laser.
The grey rot was instantly pulverized for a great amount when Keira shot into it, making her feel smug. At this rate, she would be the fastest to clear the grey rot among the core members!!
But how could the AI possibly let her have her fun? Immediately, a great rot manifestation was born at the area of the blast, in the form of a humanoid. It roared and manifested a defensive barrier backed by the basic law of whatever True God this had one beam, perfectly blocking the beam and even reflecting to back at Keira.
"Watch out!!" Lucia cried out, waving her staff rather quickly.
｢Shield of Light – Active skill
Effect: Grant an ally a shield of Light Energy that repels 95% of all physical and magical damage, and can be spread to up to 500 allies with the percentage of protection reduced accordingly.
Duration: 1.5 hours
Cooldown: 1.5 hours or 0.004 Divine Points.｣
A shield of light quickly manifested in front of Keira who was locked in place by the skill\'s \'animation\', which was a milky white color that gleamed with a vibrant hue. When the returned attack struck the barrier around Keira, it dimmed significantly, but it still held until Keira stopped the skill and returned to the ground.
She turned to Lucia and gave a thumbs up. "Always reliable! Thanks for the save Eva 2.0!"
Lucia was smiling with relief at first when her face stiffed and she seemed unhappy. "What do you mean Eva 2.0?"
"Hmph, don\'t play. You have always idolized Eva\'s cool character which is why the dumb broad you changed to become like this. Not to mention you and Eva both main light and are both BDSM fanatics." Keira ruthlessly stripped away her best friend\'s mysterious persona, leaving the beauty red-faced.
"I was not a dumb broad!" She cried in protest.
Both Keira and Hera turned to regard her silently, making Lucia pale. "O-Okay, I was a bit of a dumb broad, but I\'ve changed!"
Lucia looked around uncertainly, making sure no one was around. "Also, don\'t be too loud about it. I\'ve only revealed my former self to Christian recently, and I want to keep it that way."
Keira and Hera were immediately interested. "Oh? And what did he say? Come on, tell us!"
Lucia shuffled about bashfully, lowering her head. "When he found out… he said I was cute and he wouldn\'t mind if I reverted some times."
Keira and Hera shared a look of astonishment. Keira tsked with amazement. "That Silent Walker fellow is really tolerant. Back then, I had to take aspirin almost daily to deal with the duo of you and Mary, two big chested broads with no brains!"
Hera nodded. "Sorry Lucia, but your stupidity back then made me furious half the time. I had to learn special meditation tricks in order to keep calm and that was how I managed to learn to control my emotions so well."
Lucia was left speechless.
"Anyway, I will leave you two to it. With Lucias skill and especially her law, you should be mostly fine Keira." Hera stated with a wave as she returned to her jurisdiction.
｢Name: Gentle Light – True God
Level: The Law of Holy Light (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.｣
｢Law of Holy Light - Divine Law
Grade: EX
Effect: This law stands as one of the best within the light elemental series, focusing on the aspects of defense, support and healing. Imbuing this law in any skill or techniques grants its the effect of holy light, which deals severe damage to evil aligned creatures while also benefiting various support-based activities, but it is mostly useless against neutral and good faction characters.
Sources: Cardinal of Light (Divine Class) + Holy Light (Active Skill).｣
"Alright, Lucia, are you ready for round 2?" Keira asked with energy as she knocked her fists together and entered a fighting stance. Lucia smiled and nodded waving her staff as she cast a wave of buffing spells imbued with both law and Divine Energy, instantly making Keira\'s body glow with a holy sanctity.
"Get em, Tiger." Lucia joked as Keira grinned and charged forward, her body glowing with a golden light as she manifested her aura from her special class ability that was merged with her law to upgrade it into this special energy form.
Now, it should no longer be called Aura, but Divine Aura!
And boy did this divine aura kick some ass!
With Lucia\'s boosts and the presence of this aura, Keira was like a bully released in a school full of wimps, plunging head-first into the grey rot and blasting it back using sheer physical force.
Any grey rot manifestation that dared to form was beaten to death while wailing, wondering where this ferocious tyrannosaurus of a woman had come from?
Hera, over on the other side, glanced her and couldn\'t help but marvel at Keira\'s efficiency. With Lucia added to her, she would definitely be able to fulfill the quota for the two of them this month, so Hera focused on her own quarry.
｢Name: Great Caster – True God
Level: The Law of True Magic (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.｣
｢Law of True Magic - Divine Law
Grade: EX+
Effect: The ultimate divine law of the magic series, this law encompasses everything magic has to offer in terms of offense, defense, support and researchability. When imbued into the body, it grants the user the ability to use all known or seen magic while when imbued into a skill or technique, attaches a magical effect to it related to that skill or techniques\' element, concept, etc.
Sources: Mage Queen (Divine Class) + Law of Magic (Active Skill).｣
Hera had cast aside her former Arcanist Legendary-grade class that relied on the western law of magic set up by Origin Goddess of Magic, Mystra.
She even dared to previously compete with Mystra in the mortal plane with her Mage Queen Divine class, which basically copy pasted from Mystra\'s own format when she was a mortal, for it was well known among True Gods that Mystra was the only being to usurp an Origin God of their law.
Of course, the story behind this was long and formed the core of Boundless\' late game content at the Origin God level, so there was no need to go there. Long story short, Hera was now walking the same path as Mystra, only that she was walking it with better resources, allies and a higher potential limit.
Currently, the young lady was not even using her bloodline, simply using basic flight magic to keep herself airborne while she was inspecting the grey rot, thinking of how best to deal with it.
"Destructive elements are best. I will try fire first, then lightning, light and finally space." She said to herself, not even considering Destruction Energy because she would face the same problem as Shadowheart did, nor did she want to try unorthodox magics because they would not be useful.
The time element was basically a waste of an element at the True God level since all could use and resist it - unless that was one\'s main focus in which it became unmatched - and it was not for Hera.
Other elements came to mind but their effectiveness would be limited at best and repetitive at worst, so she stuck to her plan. First things first, basic fireball spell that Kiran also used on the other side.
The effect was the same, only that when Hera threw out the white flames, she retained more control of it and was able to utilize the explosion better while also letting the remaining white fire focus on combating the grey rot specifically rather than burn listlessly until extinguished.
She only watched her rewards for the amount of grey rot cleared as measured by the AI and noted it carefully before sending out a spell made of lightning that struck from the sky.
｢Thunder Strike – Active Skill
Effect: With your control over the element of lightning, cause the energy to congregate into the sky and strike down at a single spot, dealing 250% lighting damage to a single foe within a radius of 10 kilometers.
Cooldown: 10 minutes or 0.000001 Divine Points.｣
This was a relatively high quality lightning element skill that any player could acquire, being an uncommon skill. This was naturally its rank 7 version, and it gave players a great option for lightning AOE in order to clear a large group of foes.
This one too struck and Hera noted its effectiveness on the field against the rewards given by the AI, her eyes narrowing. She did not stop here and released an orb of light that crashed down into the grey rot before exploding with an intense, searing light.
｢Light Ball – Active Skill
Effect: Concentrate a large amount of light energy into a spherical shape that deals huge AOE damage, amounting to 1,500% over an Area Zone.
Cooldown: 1 hour.｣
This was an Epic grade light element skill that both Eva and Lucia had, but one was from a Semi-Eternal class while one was boosted by various light element passives. Hera\'s was the standard version after factoring in the growth of a Divine magic class at Rank 7.
This was an amazing skill with an even more amazing AOE. The feedback and rewards outclassed the previous two by literally miles.
Hera was greatly satisfied with the result and then turned her eyes to her last skill for this test.
｢Void Cannon – Active Skill
Effect: Condense an immense wave of void energy into the form of a cannon shaped beam, causing anything it strikes to undergo one of the following effects:
- Receive 5,000% void damage head-on.
- Be banished into the deadly sub-space for 30 seconds while taking 50% void damage per second.
- Be partially spatially displaced, unable to interact with the world for 10 seconds in which a spatial explosion would occur, dealing 1,000% spatial damage and returning the target to normal.
Cooldown: 1 hour.｣
