Hunt for the Lightning Magic Stone IV
Zhang Zimo has gotten afflicted by numerous status ailments that prevented him from escaping. He tried moving his body, but it would not respond to his thoughts. A boss NPC is actually locked down by multiple status ailments.
This would not normally happen, but the effect of the Poison of God is very effective against living beings. One by one, the bandits fell as they tried to rescue their leader as they knew that saving him is the only thing that can help them escape.
They could not run away as they get pulled back to the area of the battle every time they wish to escape. They feel as if they are puppets withs strings attached to them because they cannot escape the area that they are in.
The bandits felt as if they have offended an Immortal as they can see that a sacred being like a dragon is serving it. One of the most elusive beings and could be said to stand on equal tiers to holy beasts are the so-called Immortals.
