Description: The result of having the evolution of the Khadasha Leviathan be interrupted. It acquired this form using the power of the unknown shard that is embedded on its forehead. It has failed the complete evolution which resulted in it having the same body qualities to that of a Bedaubler. Its sanity is not stable and will devour and destroy any beings near it.
The Tumultuous Leviathan (Failed Mutation) is indeed a monster that can be said to be the stuff of nightmares. Just looking at its serpentine body with eyes as scales makes anyone have nightmares every day. The body itself of the Tumultuous Leviathan (Failed Mutation) looked extremely flexible and also almost immune to physical damage due to the unique nature of it.
Before any player could even react, the Tumultuous Leviathan (Failed Mutation) already released a scream that decreased stats and inflicted numerous status ailments. Adrian was able to not get affected by the status ailments, but he was not safe from the status reductions. His resistances were even reduced as long as he is in combat with the Tumultuous Leviathan (Failed Mutation).
"Saena, Cleansing Light!" Adrian commanded.
"Yes, master!" Saena replied as she returned to her large size because it will not just be Adrian that she will heal.
Saena spread out her wings and radiated a gentle light. All players that got affected by this light experienced some form of euphoria as if a heavy feeling has been lifted from their bodies. Not all players were affected by the Cleansing Light as Saena\'s ability is not that powerful to cover the large battlefield they are in.
[Your status reduction has been cleansed.]
[Decreased the reduction of your elemental resistance by half.]
[Decreased the reduction of your status ailment resistance by half.]
[You have been healed by 5% of your maximum health.]
The gentle light did not only cleanse all of the abnormalities of the body but also healed those in the vicinity. Anastacia saw that Saena has worked her wonders and followed suit as she also performed a spell that cleansed status ailments. A green wind swept to a large area and all those that were affected by it managed to cleanse all of the reductions that they have been afflicted with.
[Your elemental resistance is no longer reduced as it has been cleansed.]
[Your status ailment resistance is no longer reduced as it has been cleansed.]
Adrian commanded Saena to cleanse the other players that were not affected by her initial spell. She also picked up Anastacia as they spread out to cleanse the status reductions of all the players they could reach. The Tumultuous Leviathan (Failed Mutation) did not like this as the two beings are now its target due to them performing too much healing. As soon as the Tumultuous Leviathan (Failed Mutation) learned that the two beings cleansed everything it affected, the enemy charged like a fierce python as it could now freely move in the Inverse Realm.
"Did you think that I would allow you to do that?" Adrian muttered as he commanded the rest of his soulbounds to attack.
Sirius was the first to reach the Tumultuous Leviathan (Failed Mutation). He tried to destroy the body of the Tumultuous Leviathan (Failed Mutation), but his physical attacks all passed through its body. The body of the boss monster was not solid as it looked like it was partially liquid in structure. Seeing that his claws were ineffective, Sirius proceeded to call upon Yuki as both of them blasted the boss monster with shadow and ice.
Kanlaon was the next one that attacked the Tumultuous Leviathan (Failed Mutation). He fired a fully charged Genesis Dragon Breath towards the boss monster which severed its tail. The only problem is that the severed tail suddenly became a small serpentine monster that attacked players that are next to it. The severed being is called Miniature Serpents that has the level of 350 which is fairly high considering that it is a remnant part of the Tumultuous Leviathan (Failed Mutation).
This did not happen when Charon appeared and coiled its chains on the Tumultuous Leviathan (Failed Mutation). Charon\'s chains are enchanted with magic, and it can bind anything as long as they have souls. The chains that Charon bound the boss monster with made it unable to freely move the body part, but the large body of the Tumultuous Leviathan (Failed Mutation) made him unable to completely stop it. It was Charon that was dragged by the boss monster instead.
Seeing that he could not stun or bind the Tumultuous Leviathan (Failed Mutation), Charon opted to sap its life force. All of his chains plunged towards the body of the boss monster and sunk even deeper. He then connected the chains to all the melee players in his vicinity which reinvigorated the spirit of all the players he helped.
"The Merciful Chained Magus has blessed us! We shall be unkillable!" One of the players that is actually a huge fan of Charon shouted as this was not his first time being connected to his
chains.
Kimat faired better as he actually commanded the mages in the Pantheon and Evergreen guild to cast lighting magic with him. Some of the players were shocked that a soulbound talked and even commanded them but they thought that it was Adrian\'s commands. The mages also felt the immense circulation of mana in the area when Kimat is in the presence. Kimat\'s entire body purifies mana in the area due to it being mostly made of pure lightning.
"Lightning Hammer!" All of the mages casted simultaneously while Kimat roared and imbued that lightning spell with his own divine mana.
[A divine beast of lightning has blessed your spell.]
[Doubles the critical chance of the spell.]
[Increases the damage dealt by the lightning spell by 300%.]
A few notifications popped up and all of the mages are shocked. The Lightning Hammer spell is an Epic Tier spell that can be cast quickly but it was not that powerful. They all saw a huge pillar of lightning smash towards the body of the boss monster. Unlike Kanlaon\'s attack, Kimat\'s enhancement increased the lethality of the spell which destroyed any Miniature Serpent to be spawned. The mages cheered but Kimat issued the next command because the enemy has yet to fall.
Dodu, on the other hand, did not approach the boss monster. Adrian did not command it to press on as his soulbound told him that the bodies or the two are not compatible. If Dodu actually tried to predate on the body of the boss monster, then they would cancel each other out. Given the sheer volume of the boss monster, Dodu would die even before it could defeat the Tumultuous Leviathan.
"Your duty would be saving those that are getting attacked by the Miniature Serpents." Adrian commanded as those pesky little monsters were born from the boss monster itself.
Wisteria also provided support as it could easily fly in the air as she used her vines to catch any players that fall down. Her aromatherapy also provided great coverage as she could entice the Miniature Serpents to attacking her. If one were to see a large flying turtle with a tree on its back running away from numerous serpentine monsters, then that would be Wisteria. She has great synergy with the ranged unit of the Pantheon and Evergreen Guild.
"The health of the boss monster is not getting reduced fast enough. All of the spells and
attacks are hitting properly but we barely made a dent. We only reduced 1% of its health from all those attacks." Adrian muttered as he killed a miniature serpent with his scythe, and he
saw what is clearly happening.
The Tumultuous Leviathan will not get killed if you attack the main body but one needs to destroy all of the Miniature Serpents that spawns from its discarded body part. Adrian shared what he observed to the group chat of the guild masters of each guild, and they all went to verify its authenticity. The guild masters of each guild destroyed Miniature Serpents while looking at the health bar of the boss monster and they were shocked. The health bar of the boss monster dropped by a small percentage as soon as they killed the smaller monsters it
spawned.
"Focus on killing the Miniature Serpents! They might be spawned by the boss monster, but they are still part of its body." All the guild masters relayed this information to their guild
members.
Having found the way to conquer the boss monster that failed to mutate, all of the players proceeded to group up to defeat the Miniature Serpents. It was easier said than done as not all smaller monsters are of the same level and power. A bigger chunk destroyed would give birth to a bigger Miniature Serpent.
