Chapter 527 - Everyone Got Stronger!
Adrian and the others are now in a battle with the hundred demon wolves that surrounded them. The demon wolves are only looking at Adrian and not at the others. The gazes of the demon wolves could literally pierce Adrian if they could shout bullets with their eyes.
The demon wolves are basically smelling the musk that a demon wolf released upon their death. Adrian would have known this special ability if Sirius had a pack, but he is a lone wolf. The smell that is coming out of Adrian is that of Alphus which is the eldest Child of Disaster.
"It seems that we need to protect Equinox. They are all focused on him." Lycan stated as he made the observation that they were not the ones that are being targeted.
"You guys should worry about yourselves. I can take care of myself. Let me see how much you guys become stronger." Adrian stated as he summoned a psyche armament.
"Paradox, Summon Primordial Armament: Mirror!" Adrian commanded.
"Affirmative." The Cube of Paradox replied as it emitted a purple lightning and that lightning materialized to become a demonic mirror.
[You have summoned the Primordial Armament: Mirror.]
[Your skill Primordial Stance activated. Your stats will be adjusted to fit your current form.]
[Your Strength stat is decreased to half of its original stat points.]
[Your Agility stat is decreased to 75% of its original stat points.]
[Your Dexterity stat is reduced to half of its original stat points.]
[Your Endurance stat has been increased by 50%.]
[Your Intelligence stat has been increased by 75%.]
[Your movement speed is decreased in this form, but you can travel using the mirrors.]
Adrian transformed into his Mirror Armament Primordial Stance. This is the first time that his friends saw him changing forms. The demon with a blindfold and four floating hands made them gasp.
"Awesome." Everyone exclaimed which made them react slowly to the four demon wolves that suddenly jumped Adrian.
Adrian, whose vision might look impaired but in fact it is actually enhanced, remained calm. Even when all his friends are now telling him to escape as they were not ready for the sudden attack, he just smiled and enlarged four of his mirrors that is floating around him.
The demon wolves entered the mirrors which made his friends dumbstruck. The way the large bodies of the demon wolves got swallowed by the mirrors made them open their mouths wide. Adrian just chuckled as he saw their reactions.
Adrian then conjured up four temporary mirrors about ten meters away from him. The four demon wolves that attacked exited at that end. The four demon wolves did not know what happened as they suddenly lost track of their prey.
"You look so cool Big Brother!" Creepysoo stated as he is an edge lord himself. His inner edge lord is getting triggered by Adrian\'s form that is cool looking.
"I know that I look somewhat cool, but can we please focus on the demon wolves. We need to hurry at the capital as well. Something tells me that they are in much bigger trouble than us. The world boss did howl as if it wanted to destroy the world." Adrian stated as he knows that his enemy is a Fenrir.
"It is not only you that managed to become strong. Let me show you my baby that I raised proudly." Solstice stated as she brought out her Companion Stone.
"Oso!" Solstice shouted as her Companion Stone grew larger.
The Companion Stone is where players that are not summoners keep their pets or mounts. It is also a limited item as only one of it can be kept inside the inventory. Pets or mounts are different from soulbounds because they have separate experience bars than soulbounds.
Pets or mounts basically get the same experience points that their masters receive. Unlike soulbounds that split the summoners received experience to each soulbound, pets and mounts can become stronger faster.
The downside of this faster leveling is that each death of a mount or a pet will also trigger a loss in experience points or level. Still, lots of player still find a pet or mount that could deal as much damage as them. They are now very popular in the late game due to this feature even though they are quite a hassle in raising.
The yeti that Adrian captured for his sister has become different. The cute looking fluffy yeti now looked like a ferocious beast. The yeti has basically become an Iceblood Yeti. The white fur that covered its body is now crimson in color.
The four arms that it has become twice as thick while its overall size has doubled. The feature that changed is that the Iceblood Yeti has red crystalline horns that look like they are made from bloodstone which is a rare stone. The skin of the yeti that was black is now pure white as a contrast to its deep crimson fur.
"Time to eat my cutie pie." Solstice commanded as her pet unleased its true strength.
Oso, the Iceblood Yeti, emitted a roar that even made the demon wolves cower for a brief second. The demon wolves did not become intimidated though as they attacked it without hesitation. The demon wolves tried to bite the Iceblood Yeti, but all their teeth shattered.
The teeth of the demon wolves that wanted to pierce Oso\'s skin became frosted and fractured upon biting on its skin. Even though the yeti is now crimson colored, it does not mean that it has lost its powers as a yeti.
Oso grabbed one of the demon wolves and hugged it to death. The dead demon wolf became covered in frost upon being dropped on the ground. It is not only that, but the blood of the demo wolf turned to red mist is swallowed by Oso.
The Iceblood Yeti then grew about one centimeter upon inhaling this blood mist. Adrian got shocked as this is a rare monster ability. A monster ability that could increase the size and power of a monster for every defeated opponent. Intense training and luck are needed for a monster to have this ability.
"What do you think? I trained him myself." Solstice stated as she praised herself.
"Thinking about it now, I feel sorry for that Yeti. It must have been through tough times." Adrian thought. He wanted to know the secret first, but he erased that idea upon learning that it was his sister\'s training regimen.
"I do not want my soulbounds to experience torture." Adrian thought to himself multiple times as if he is hypnotizing himself.
"Seriously though, they mainly target you." Levin Cloud stated as he stopped the charging demon wolves using the vines of the strong trees present in the surroundings. It seems that his stats is majorly enhanced upon stepping foot on The Wilde.
"Earth\'s Wrath!" Peridot stated as her green floating gemstone glowed.
The ground in front of her then trembled and formed a chasm that swallowed the demon wolves in her location. She noticed that the spell became twice as powerful and faster to cast which is a peasant surprise for her. The nature element spells on her arsenals could finally be used effectively in this type of setting since her skills are boosted.
"You guys are not the only that powered up. Meet my new Undead Knight! Summon: Robin Hood!" Creepysoo stated as he summoned a new undead.
The undead that he summoned is different from normal undead as it used a bow and arrow. The bow is made up of some type of bone from a large monster while the arrows are made from the undead energy that the Undead Knight emitted.
The one thing that makes the undead knight mysterious is the hood that covers its whole face. The face of the undead is basically all darkness as its hood does not let light touch its face. One thing that is undeniable about the Undead Knight is its expertise in the bow.
All the arrows that Robin Hood released would accurately hit the heads of the demon wolves. The Undead Knight could release five arrows at the same time and accurately hit its targets. Creepysoo supported his Undead Knight with buffs and debuffs on the enemies.
For the elemental father and daughter duo, it is only Vayu that is moving freely. Soleil is not participating actively because she could induce a forest fire. The reports of a player burning down a whole forest has been popular lately which made him get executed ten times decreasing his level by 10.
Even though elementals are beings that can control the elements, she is still not that accurate. If she misfires, then she could end up burning a whole section of the forest before she could put it out. She is stuck doing defensive spells.
Adrian unconsciously smiled as his friends are fighting with him and is even competing with him on who became stronger. He finally met the right people inside the game after playing different games in the past.
Adrian, Levin Cloud, Peridot and Kabrakan had been in lots of guilds before in their past games, but they never truly felt that they belonged. It is the first time that they could truly say that they are enjoying the game with all their heart.
