868 Poison Monarch! (1/2)
Even though the first hit was effective, Sheyan felt more and more flustered because the 'Enemy of the Forest' imprint on his face had crept deeper into him. The numbness felt more and more intense. If his brain was numbed too, then he would die!
Right at that moment, the 'Stairway of the Sun' once again trembled. It controlled Sheyan's left hand and once again gathered the terrifying black ball of light. The black ball of light twisted into a snake and pressed towards the numb part of Sheyan's face!
A sizzling noise was produced upon contact, almost as if a piece of raw meat was thrown into a frying pan. The horrible black ball of light turned into hundreds of tiny black electric currents and pierced deep into Sheyan's skin like small daggers.
A large amount of pustules abruptly broke out on his numb face. They kept bursting open, turning half of Sheyan's face into a piece of red boiling meat and even exposing the bone inside! The sight was appalling. Yellow pus gushes out with his blood, spreading a revolting stench.
What's even more strange was that, following the invasion of the black electric currents, Sheyan could hear shrill screams filled with grievances emanating from his face. A horrifying illusion appeared in his vision, as if there was a hand tearing his face violently.
As the black electric currents brought the corrosion deeper into Sheyan's skin, bits of green lights were forced out. The green lights were enshrouded by the black currents, and they were then exterminated in the air.
After the last bit of green light in Sheyan's face was forced out, Treebeard, who was standing still in the central basin of the forest of Fangorn, trembled slightly. One of his eyes suddenly burst into little spots of green lights, but the green lights immediately turned black!
Treebeard screamed loudly. Amidst his scream, the towering trees around him pulled up their roots and strode towards him. They stretched out their branches and embraced Treebeard tightly. Slowly, a colossal Ent consisting of at least a hundred giant trees formed. His height was towering at over several hundred meters. His stature gave him a domineering presence, and one could feel a boundless anger in him! !
Sheyan wasn't feeling that good himself. He looked like a devil. Half his face was undamaged, but the other half was a bloody mess of flesh and bone. However, he felt no pain. It seemed that all his nerves were paralyzed.
The continuous changes in the 'Stairway of the Sun' was a cause for concern for Sheyan. He recalled the strange feeling from before, so he immediately inquired about the 'Pestilence Monarch' ability. The result shocked him.
[The Stairway of the Sun in your body has gained enough energy to evolve. The plant form is in a deep sleep. The animal form has been activated. Your Pestilence Monarch ability is sealed. You gained a new ability: 'Poison Monarch'!]
[After obtaining sufficient external energy, the animal form of the Stairway of the Sun has matured. This is a strange ability mutated from the combination of the animal form of the Stairway of the Sun + the poison of Ouroboros.]
[Ability grade: unknown]
[Because the Stairway of the Sun is still living symbiotically in your body, you still have most of the abilities of the previous Pestilence Monarch, except for the ability to infect the enemy with diseases. Therefore, when the Poison Monarch is in effect, you cannot activate the Pestilence Aura.]
[You gained a new ability: Beast of Corrosion]
[This is a very terrible ability. It will cultivate the toxins secreted from the Stairway of the Sun in your body with your own flesh and blood. After analyzing the weaknesses of the enemy, it will target those weaknesses in its attack, thus causing devastating damage to the enemy.]
[Total damage = (50 ~ 300) + (15% of the enemy's maximum HP {this will not exceed 10,000 points}) + (2% of the user's maximum HP)]
[No one is immune to the damage from the Beast of Corrosion. The attack will cause true damage.]
[Because the Beast of Corrosion ability targets the enemy's weaknesses, the first time it attacks an enemy, explosive hit rate will increase by 50% and its power will invade the enemy's body. But the enemy's gene will adapt to this ability, so the next time the enemy was hit with the Beast of Corrosion, explosive hit rate will decrease by 20%.]
