The weak adventurers and mercenaries of all appearances, sizes and classes suddenly felt a strange power bathing them. Even the weaker Priests felt this power bathing them, and even their strong barriers were nothing against them.
The eyes of a Gorgon.
…
[Gorgon’s Five Cursed Eyes: Lv1]
A deadly set of eyes, each eye has the power of inflicting a deadly curse. Each has the power of Hypnosis, Confusion, Paralysis, Lethal Poison, and Petrification. Overlapping these powers will ensure your opponents can’t escape your phantasmal and deadly embrace.
The intensity of each Eye power is enhanced with each Level, and Resistance Skills against status effects can be slightly overpowered the higher the level of the Skill. Certain entities can resist this greater than others.
Hypnosis: Causes a target to temporarily feel hypnotised by your powers and beauty, being able to obey simple commands the more Mana and power you infuse into this eye.
Confusion: Can temporarily confuse a target’s thoughts and throw their minds into complete chaos, disrupting their thought process and fighting capabilities.
Paralysis: Can Paralyze a target’s body parts temporarily. Limbs of a target can be paralysed separately from one another and so on.
Lethal Poison: Inflicts a deadly lethal poison that temporarily eats away at the foe’s HP.
Petrification: Unleashes a deadly light that forces the skin of a foe to petrify, slowing down their movements. At higher levels, more than just skin can be petrified…
…
After my recent evolution into a Gorgon Ghost, I gained various powers, and one of them was these powerful Five Cursed Eyes, which I can summon through the other eyes of my snake-headed hair.
Using their aid and my own two eyes, I unleashed a flashing ray of black and purple colours towards them. Leon and Eric were very strong. Their resistance to status effects was good enough that they realised my sneak attack and even targeted me where I was hiding.
However, their reaction time was slow anyways. The other guys were already being bathed by my strong status effects! Severe Poisons began to eat away at their HP as they struggled to breathe and felt intoxicated. Paralysis paralysed their bones and muscles and made them fall over the ground powerlessly. Hypnosis and Confusion combined together, attacking their sanity and minds, making them scream in agony. And lastly…
Petrification.
Petrification acted rather quickly, as their entire bodies were covered in stone, and more than half of them fell and became living statues. Some even broke apart into pieces when they fell over the floor.
Good.
“W-What?!”
“What’s going on?!”
“Uuaggh…!”
“Agghh! My head!”
“I-I am… turning into stone?! W-What’s going on?!”
“W-Who is doing this?!” Shouted Eric, as the other priests used Antidote Spells to heal some of the people who had yet to die, although many of them still ended up being half-petrified, barely moving properly.
One of the priests ended up being turned into stone right away, as he lost balance and fell over the floor, breaking apart into pieces and dying on the spot.
“D-Damn it! I can sense someone there!” Leon said as he suddenly charged his axe with an immense amount of Mana.
His muscles bulged and were enhanced several times as he utilised a powerful Skill against me and fired his axe towards my direction!
“Earth-Shattering Tomahawk!!!”
FLAAAAASSSHHHH!!!
Fuck! I have to get out of here!
I quickly deactivated the eyes of the gorgon and dived deep underground. As the axe hit the place right where I was, breaking apart the earth and making a massive tremor, the entire place shook as if an immense earthquake consumed it all.
TRUUUUMMMM!!!
The shockwaves it generated hit me from behind, quickly diminishing my HP at a fast pace and almost killing me several times if it wasn’t for me spamming Undead Healing on myself countless times! I can already imagine that if that thing were to hit me, I would have just died! Right on the spot!
That was close, way too close!
The friends inside my shadows were eager to fight, as I had already cut down the small fry out of their group and only Leon, Eric, and three Priests were left. With the surviving Mercenaries and Adventurers being knocked out unconscious, it was the right time to attack and finally fucking smash them to the ground… or should I?
Why would I risk myself like this when there is Catarina looking at me fighting? I would rather not do that yet, and instead…
“That’s a nice weapon you got there!” I said as I grabbed the axe that Leon threw at me.
The Axe suddenly opposed my power as I tried to wield it. It emanated a powerful golden glow from within, but I encompassed it with my shadows and devoured whatever will it had to oppose me.
The amazing weapon was indeed a Legendary item, most likely found in the depths of some sort of Dungeon that Leon had explored in the past. Well, now’s mine. I had begun to think that Pickpocket might be helping me in stealing these weapons with “wills” of their own…
Anyways, Leon, Eric, and the other survivors looked at me with surprise. They didn’t know who I was. After all, they came to slay goblins, not a ghost woman.
“Huh? W-Who are ya?! Give me back my axe!” Roared Leon.
“Oh? This thing? Well, it’s gone.” I said as the entire axe disappeared from my Inventory.
“W-What…? My axe!!!” Roared Leon in anger.
“Leon, that’s a ghost! Be careful! Let’s slay it together!” Shouted Eric.
“GRAAAAAAHHH!!!”
Leon roared. His aura suddenly was unleashed as a sea of powerful red energy surged from his body, flowing through the entire place and flooding everything with his raging fury.
BOOOMMM!!!
His aura emanated a strong pressure, enough to even intimidate me.
I quickly began to fall back as he began rushing at me while the priests followed him from behind.
Catarina and the other Vampires quickly noticed my presence once more, looking attentively as I slowly approached them.
“W-Wait, is she coming at us?!”
“Then we’ll kill her!”
“No, Catarina-sama, you can’t! Those mortals…!”
“I don’t give a fuck anymore! If they get in the way, they’ll die too!”
