"The harbinger of death is a low tier, Erudite realm. Since this one is man-made, the game system classified the harbinger as summon. The one who created this one is an Animancer." Jake calm said. "Game system? Animancer" Terry curiously asked. Jake cleared his throat and nodded, " Anyway! It is one of the subclasses that belong to the mage class and acolyte class. It is similar to crusader." Terry nodded and look at the harbinger.
Jake remembers that the harbinger has two sets of skills. The first set is when its hp is above 75%:
1. Putrid breath – can cause confusion, vomiting, headache, nausea and temporary blindness
2. Grand slam – The harbinger will slam the floor to create a wave of energy causing person to wobble, the nearer the player to the point of impact the possible to hit direct damage and knock down
The second set is if the health is below 25%.
1. The skills on the first set
2. Flesh throw – randomly throwing a ball of flesh by getting it from its body
3. Body Slam- by forcefully using both hands to lift its body on the mid-air and use its whole body to press on the target
4. Gnawing- eating corpses or live people which will recover its vitality and regenerate
Jake was about to take a long breath but the lingering smell is hard to breathe in so hold it, "Terry, focus on the lower extremity. We need to immobilize him." Terry nodded. Jake glances Guryu, " Do you have clearance spell?" Guryu frown and seems helpless. Jake pondered, so the curse is now eating him from within? Jake sigh, " How many skills do you have?" Guryu sigh, " Five: Smite, Clarity, Charge, Shield of Mercy and Rod of Mercy." When Jake heard about the last skill he was elated about it. Rod of Mercy is similar to a totem used by a barbarian, a crusader must offer a tribute which is a blood gel. A blood gel must be created in advance, using the blood of the caster and light snail's body. The texture is similar to a small gummy bear candy. In order to summon the Rod of mercy in the battlefield, the Crusader must inject the warrior spirit which 5 stamina points and magic which is 5 mana points. It will stay in the battlefield for about 10 minutes then for the next 10 minutes the crusader must continue to use 1 mana and 1 stamina point for every minute for another 10 minutes then the spell will dispel itself and need to be recast again. The area of effect is within 10 meters from the rod. The beneficial effect, increases vitality regeneration by 1 point every 1 minute, increase magical dark poison resistance by 15%, decrease magical dark poison duration by 15% and will illuminate the entire perimeter of effect.
Jake nodded with everyone, Jake cast water ball and throw it in front of the face of the harbinger followed by fireball, a huge steam flushes in front of its face which it immediately screams. Guryu charge towards the harbinger and slam its shield on its body then uses smite on its right foot, Terry on the other has already at the back of the harbinger and using scissor cut, it manage to cut ½ of its right leg.
The harbinger keeps on screaming and immediately it raises both hands. Jake shouted, "Fall back!" Terry uses side step and Guryu uses charge to get away from the point of impact. The moment it slam on the flow the wave energy made Terry and Jake wobbles. Jake glances towards Guryu and thought, Crusaders really are formidable. Guryu is using Shield of Mercy, this skill allows the crusader to place the shield in front of him creating and a haven of whoever is at the back. It negates any knockback or wobbles effect unless of course, the attack mastery of rank is higher than the shield of mercy.
Jake wobbles for a few seconds then harbinger open its mouth and spraying the liquid in 110 degrees in conical are least 10 meters from the caster. Jake almost got hit by it and manage to use water ball to splash it, while Guryu is still behind his skill. When the harbinger saw that everyone is fine, it screams so loud that the ceiling on the dungeon begins to crumble and several medium and large debris is falling.
Guryu shouted towards the harbinger, making the Harbinger focus all its attention to him. Guryu uses his charge skill and slams it to the side of the leg that Terry almost cut. The moment its shield hit the side of the injured leg, the harbinger kneel on its other leg. Jake immediately cast fireball and hit the injured leg and was totally cut and burnt. The harbinger raises its left hand and slam it towards Guryu. Guryu immediately places his shield up but the force of impact almost break his stance. The harbinger right-hand sweeps towards Guryun and grab his body. The harbinger screams and open its mouth and deliver Guryu's body to its mouth. Jake run towards the harbinger distancing himself at least 4 meters and cast fireball targeting its oral cavity. The explosion made the harbinger sway a little while Terry was already at the top of the left middle forearm and he uses the scissor cut which slices it through. Jake immediately lifted Guryu's body and run back. Terry, on the other hand, grabs the hammer and shield then drag it towards Jake's direction and place it on the ground.
Jake touches Guryu's forehead and uses healing touch. Guryu lifts himself up and grab his weapon but he immediately kneels on the ground displacing his weapon. He forms a fist and placing on his chest. It almost similar to a Levine sign, Jake thought but…. He uses his spiritual eyes and saw that the curse becomes active again.
After 10 minutes or so, the pain disappears, Jake realized that the aura that Guryu emitted before seemed to be weakened. Guryu vomited dark blood and when he was about to stand again, he wobbled and forcing himself to sit on the floor. Jake face Guryu, " Guryu…..your realm is back to peak Erudite…"
