Two n were standing beside the altar in the center of the blood spring while a large bloody cocoon floated above them.
Both of them looked like they were in their thirties. The big brother is called Hakel, and the other one is called Bakel.
"Brother, the fishes are trapped. Now the only thing we need to do is to...pull them out and use them as food to revive the Kronj Monster," Hakel said as he looked at the cocoon.
Bakel nodded as he cut his finger and put so drops of his blood on the altar.
The altar strangely released cries of different beasts, but it stopped after Bakel dropped so of his blood on it. Specifically, he dropped the blood on the skull on the altar.
The people who were trapped in this area numbered 204, and they were surprised that the cries of beasts suddenly stopped.
[Ergancy Quest: Wave of Corruption.]
--> The neighboring kingdom had found a Blood Hexa crystal, which turned out to be connected to this Blood Spring valley in Focrent kingdom after much research and finding. They decided to use this power to bring havoc here and gather the kingdom's attention in this place while they would use this chance to attack the Focrent kingdom's capital from other directions in a hidden manner.
-->Task 1: Stop the resurrection of Corrupted Orc Lord or Defeat it after it is resurrected.
--> Task 2: finish task 1 first...
--> Depends on the task completion.

Aren was not surprised because he was expecting an ergency quest in this situation.
However, after a few seconds of silence, everyone heard a loud roar that shook the whole forest trapped in the blood barrier.
Aren was looking at the altar, and his heart started to beat faster as a palpitating aura started to erge from the altar. After two seconds, he saw a thick bloody aura erging and forming an outline of a ten-ter tall monster.
"L-look! What is that?"
Everyone soon noticed the outline of the monster.
Aren saw the giant skull from the altar flying up and fit in the head position of the faint image of the monster and the monster of becoming more vivid slowly as if it was resurrecting.
Jugarth's face turned grave as he loudly shouted by imbuing spirit energy, which reverberated his voice everywhere, "everyone! I don't know what is going on right now, BUT! We have to attack that monster in-making before it fully cos into existence!"
Right after saying that, He shouted loudly and jumped high.
Godan, the teammate of Jugarth, had a staff in his hand, which he stretched up before slamming it on the ground.
*crackk...Bububu...*
The earth extended upward to create a fifteen-ter tall earthly pillar on which the Jugarth who jumped stood with his mace in his hand.
"That's Jugarth from Duke's palace! What is he doing here?"
"What matters right now is that the thing he said makes sense! Attack!"
Jugarth seed to have activated his power as his body shined in a dark brown hue while his chained-mace was covered in the sa color aura as he beca very large!
The large chained-mace now had a five-ter big tal spiked ball covered in the dark brown aura, and it looked overwhelming compared to Jugarth's body size, but he spun it like it was nothing. Jugarth spun the mace, and every ti it faced the monster-in-making's direction, a large dark brown energy bomb would release from the mace and hit the monster.
Other people soon started attacking the monster as well.
However, Aren didn't attack and just observed. He was having a bad feeling and didn't want to reveal himself to this ss.
'It looks like I landed in trouble preceding my current capability again, -_-' Aren thought.
He looked at the monster-in-making and got its information.
[Corrupted Orc Lord]
-Status: In corrupted resurrection.
-Progress: 43%
Aren saw that the attack of all those people was indeed obstructing the corrupted resurrection but not enough to decrease or half its progress.
-Progress: 44%
"It increased...," Aren muttered with a frown because the progress was still increasing, albeit slowly.
He then focused on the altar but saw that the two brothers had disappeared. Aren hurriedly looked around, trying to find them.
"Aarghhhhhhhh...."
Suddenly, so people, including Aren, heard a scream amidst this chaotic situation where everyone was doing their best to stop the corrupted resurrection.
Aren saw a person just ten ters away from the tree he was hiding in, dying at the hands of those two brothers!
The few people who saw them shouted loudly, "those two brothers from that old man quest!! FUCK, they are behind this trap! Everyone, they are trying to kill us."
The two brother's laughed loudly as Hakel took out a blood crystal of sort and activated it as both of them disappeared.
Aren's eyes beca wide, 'they disappeared...'
He looked around before looking back at the altar and saw them standing there, 'Hmmm....so they can teleport back to the altar with that blood crystal? Wait, is that blood crystal the main thing that started all this? Is it the Blood Hexa crystal?'
Aren didn't know as he could only guess it for now.
However, things looked bad because the people already realized that their attacks were working on the monster but not enough to stop its resurrection.
-Progress: 61%
Aren didn't know what to do. However, he was definitely not making any move to reveal himself. That's for sure.
"Jugarth! What about that blood cocoon?" Hafina shouted as she waved two large sabers in her hand towards the monster, which released two dark purple slashes. Hafina was another teammate of Jugarth.
Jugarth's gaze was grave as he analyzed the situation with his big brain and said, "the cocoon is sothing important, but the imdiate danger is this quickly resurrecting monster! The aura it's releasing is dangerous, and I don't think we can stand much chance after it's fully resurrected. We have to do sothing to stop its resurrection!"
Aren agreed with him, but....that seed difficult.
