BXBX NOVEL Chapter 56: Necrotic Fiend
So far, Ram had used only one point of reserved spiritual power to cover his hand.
Even after he had killed the cursed monster, he was testing it on, slightly more than half of that point remained.
With a simple calculation, he quickly figured out that one point of his current spiritual power could last for two to three minutes.
However, it costs more spiritual power to purify the monster.
[ Name: Ram, Age: 22/ 81]
[ Health: 100/100 (+173)]
[ Spiritual Power: 100/100 (+321)]
But looking at the more than three hundred points of spiritual power, Ram didn\'t bother to hold back.
He focused, feeling the reserves of spiritual power within him. With a determined expression, he grew a large number of vines from the ground.
These vines, now covered in a brilliant light blue, flame-like spiritual power, seemed almost alive with energy.
They snaked out rapidly, their tips glowing with purifying power. Under his control, the vines attacked the cursed monsters with precision.
Without any physical bodies to support and curse power to protect them, the cursed monsters were at a severe disadvantage.
The spiritual flames on the vines burned through the dark masses, purifying and turning them to ash.
Ram moved with swift efficiency, directing his vines to target the heart of each monster, where the corruption was strongest.
The cursed monsters writhed and shrieked as they were consumed by the purifying flames. Their dark energy crackled and dissipated, unable to withstand the concentrated spiritual power.
"Roarrr..." Just as Ram readied himself to press his assault, a sharp, ear-splitting roar erupted from the shadows, sending shockwaves that scattered the remaining cursed monsters.
His head whipped towards the source of the sound, eyes widening as a huge creature emerged from the shadows.

[ Description: A Necrotic Fiend, is a creature created under the influence of curse power radiating from \'*&$%#@&&%$\', with heightened physical attributes under the influence of curse power.]
[ Skills: ??]
A monstrous beast, easily three meters tall and five meters long, resembled a panther sculpted from wooden bark.
It leaped before them, a monstrous howl echoing through the air. The sight of it was menacing, a stark contrast to the smaller, formless cursed monsters they had been fighting.
The creature\'s body was massive and powerful, its muscles rippled beneath the bark, entirely composed of wood.
Although it\'s an ordinary wood spirit, now its physical attributes are doubled under the influence of curse power, making it faster and stronger than general Tier 3 monsters.
However, it wasn\'t the creature\'s immense strength that troubled Ram the most.
As he observed the string of unknown name on the monster\'s attribute panel, a wave of unpleasant memories crashed over him – memories of the Mechanical Apostle and the name of the Mechanical God, concealed just as it was in the description of this Necrotic Fiend.
It\'s evident that there was some God or something at a similar level behind these cursed monsters.
He wanted to shout out loud, \'Why do I keep getting entangled in matters far beyond my level?\' Yet, he restrained himself and concentrated on the monster before him.
Most of the wood on its body was withered and blackened, corrupted by the curse power radiating from the center of its body.
Sharp wooden claws extended from its paws, and its teeth were long and jagged, looking like deadly wooden spikes.
Its eyes glowed with a dark green light, an eerie and malevolent presence within them.
This was no ordinary cursed monster; this was a wood spirit influenced by the curse, twisted into a monstrous form.
The panther-like beast growled, the sound reverberating through the air. Its eyes locked onto Ram and Rui, filled with an unnatural hatred and hunger.
Ram could sense the sinister aura radiating from the beast, a dark aura more concentrated than other cursed monsters, that seemed to sap the life from everything around it.
The panther lunged forward with incredible speed, its claws slashing through the air towards Rui.
"Rui, be careful," Ram warned, his voice steady despite the tension in the air. "This one is different." he barely had time to react, throwing up a barrier of vines covered in spiritual flames.
The creature\'s claws sliced through the vines, but the flames managed to slow its advance, burning its wooden flesh giving enough time for Rui to escape.
Rui quickly stepped aside, her expression serious. "I know. Brother thanks for helping me," she said, with her icy thistle blooms generating a freezing wind.
She used her \'Cold Wind Embrace\' to create an icy barrier between them and the panther.
A cold wind swept across the ground, freezing everything in its path. The panther\'s movements slowed as the ice formed around its legs, but it still managed to break free, its strength undiminished.
Ram retaliated by sending more vines to wrap around the beast, binding its limbs and attempting to restrict its movements.
The spiritual flames began to burn through the corrupted wood, purifying the curse from within. The panther roared in anger, its eyes blazing with dark green light.
It twisted and thrashed, breaking free from the vines with sheer brute force.
The corrupted energy within it seemed to give it unnatural strength, making it a terrifying opponent.
Even the spiritual flames that worked very well on formless cursed monsters did less damage due to the protection of withered wood.
The panther growled and charged again, its claws tearing through the ice barrier Rui had created.
Rui responded by launching her \'Glacial Thorn\' attack, sending sharp, frozen thorns toward the panther.
The thorns pierced its wooden body, causing it to howl in pain, freezing most of its lower body.
Seeing his chance, Ram created a large knife in his hands that was completely made up of wood, with its sharp edge covered by his concentrated spiritual power of more than 10 points.
With intense power coursing through it, the blade glowed with a fierce light blue, flame-like spiritual power, ready to strike.
