"Doom Fall!" The Doom Knight Malefa stated as she suddenly exploded in this dark red energy.

[The Doom Knight Malefa has entered her Doom Fall state.]

[All status ailments and status reductions towards the Doom Knight Malefa will be cleansed.]

[The Doom Knight Malefa is invulnerable to any status ailment during her Doom Fall state.]

[The Doom Knight Malefa's stats has increased by 50%.]

[The Doom Knight Malefa's Doom Aura can no longer be resisted.]

[You have been afflicted by Doom.]

Status Ailment: Doom

Effect: Lose 1 health point per second while in the vicinity of the one radiating the Doom Aura.

"You shall fall here demon!" The Doom Knight Malefa stated as her whole armor is now overflowing with the Doom Aura which is dark red in color.

Even the great sword that the Doom Knight Malefa looked like it doubled in size because of the doom aura being radiated from it. Creepysoo did tell him that the Doom Knights have a special aura that can reduced the life of anything around them. Adrian did not care much about it as he could resist it earlier, but it is no longer the case now.

Adrian's health is now losing one health per second which is unaffected by his own health regeneration. The damage that the doom aura does neglects the enemies' own self-regeneration. Adrian switched his soulbounds to Kimat, Kanlaon and Saena as the direction of the battle has changed to killing the Doom Knight Malefa as fast as possible.

The Doom Knight Malefa is not the only one afflicted by the Doom Aura as it was able to spread to the undead that was under her. All the undead that is under the Doom Knight Malefa is also strengthened by 30%. Adrian locked eyes with the Doom Knight Malefa as they knew that only one of them can stand proudly in this battlefield.

As if the two talked with their eyes, Adrian and the Doom Knight Malefa vanished from their positions and clashed swords at the very middle of the battlefield. The Doom Knight Malefa that was unable to keep track of Adrian earlier is now on par with her, but she was even more powerful now. As soon as the swords of the two clashed, a loud ringing sound that created a shockwave enveloped the battlefield.

"Extremely heavy!" Adrian muttered as he is sent flying, but Kanlaon's control of the wind made sure that he does not fly far away.

[You have received damage.]

[You are hit by blunt force filled with Doom Aura. Your maximum health has been reduced by 2.5%.]

Adrian saw the notifications and noticed that he was actually bleeding from his mouth. Adrian told Saena to heal him, and he got healed back to full health. Fortunately, the healing from external sources is not affected by the Doom Aura. The only problem now is the fact that everything in the area is touched by the Doom Aura as the other enemy undead are propagating it.

The Doom Knight Malefa did not let Adrian have any time to recover as she once again vanished from her location. Kanlaon already knew where the enemy will appear and released four elemental spells in that general direction. The assault of the Doom Knight Malefa was slowed down, but the spells did not connect to her.

All the spells that Kanlaon has released were blocked by an invisible barrier that is maintained by the Dullahan. With the Dullahan covered in Doom Aura, they can now easily use enhancements on the Doom Knight Malefa as they are now personally connected to her. Adrian knew that this would not be easy, but he is now thinking that this battle suddenly took a turn to hard mode.

"Kanlaon and Saena, deal with the Dullahan. Kimat, you are going to be with me. Provide rear support but also make sure that you are not attacked by other enemies." Adrian commanded via their soul link.

Kanlaon and Saena rose to the skies while Kimat suddenly called upon lightning on the spot where the Doom Knight Malefa was. As if her sword could cut the lightning itself, the Doom Knight Malefa just pointed at the lightning and slashed the sky. With just one slash, the Doom Knight Malefa actually split the dark clouds on top of them which also revealed the location of Kanlaon and Saena.

"Soul Avenger!" Adrian did not waste any time as he activated his most powerful skill in this form.

A giant version of his sword suddenly manifested on top of the Doom Knight Malefa. The giant sword then dropped down on her which she thought she could avoid but she cannot. The Soul Avenger skill locks onto the soul of the target which means any living being will be unable to avoid it. The Doom Knight Malefa had no choice but to receive the hit, but she made sure to create a sturdy doom aura armor to soften the blow.

[You have dealt great damage to the Doom Knight Malefa.]

"Only 10%!?" Adrian thought as that attack was filled with immense energy from both aether and primordial essences.

Adrian then looked at the Dullahan and saw that some of their health was also reduced but only 2%. It seems that they cannot perfectly receive the damage of an attack that was locked onto the soul of a target, but they can mitigate some of it. If the ten Dullahan did not do so then the Doom Knight Malefa might have received 20% maximum health damage from Adrian's attack.

The Doom Knight Malefa has recovered from being subjected to pure aether energy and is about to go for Adrian's head when she stopped and threw her sword towards the air. Kanlaon has already finished preparing his breath attack when a giant sword suddenly hit him in the jaw. Kanlaon winced from the pain and was even slightly knocked out for a moment from being hit by the blunt force of the sword.
