Omega Summoner

Adrian then spoke to Sirius and Kanlaon to get ready. The duo looked at each other and nodded. It seems that they already knew the battle plan they would use but there was still doubt on Marlon's mind.

" How are those cute monsters going to fight anyway?" Marlon thought and did not voice out because it would be rude to his bestfriend but by the next second his eyes almost bulged. He could see his bestfriend's soulbounds becoming bigger. Sirius grew to the size of a bear and Kanlaon became ten meters long. He was speechless on the two summons transformations and greatly admired the real form of the two. He was most shocked by Kanlaon because it was a dragon. I mean, who in the whole of Pandemonium right now owns a dragon. There may be people who owns wyverns by now but a pure blooded dragon was a different story. There are three types of dragons that are currently known in the game which are low-class dragons, Pure Blood dragons and Dragon Kings. Low-class dragons are dragons that are mixed species with other creatures like wyverns or drakes. Low-class dragons have some intelligence but not like that of the pure blood dragons. Pure Blood dragons are dragons that are purely draconic in nature without a mix of other creatures. It is said that Pure Blooded Dragons are given birth by the mother of all dragons, Delphyne using the energy of the world. Delphyne was believed to be the daughter of the Dragon God, Marduk. Dragon Kings are the pinnacle existence of dragons that rule over the all the pure blood dragons and strike fear and respect to low-class dragons.

Adrian then told Saena to guard Marlon and heal him when he gets injured. The magpie then gave a chirp of delight indicating that it has understood its mission. Saena hovered on top of Marlon's head with eyes full of confidense. Adrian believed that Saena could heal Marlon if a he suddenly acquired the overheal status. The overheal status is a status where the healer of the group heals tons of damage and manages to attract the attention of the mobs because the monsters are equipped with the basic A.I. that tells if their attacks are effective or not. The difficulty of this status condition is that it does not have a gauge or indicator but requires the player to have situational awareness and good grasp of the monster's aggro. Usually, this status could be avoided if their was a tank with a taunt skill in the party but they do not have one. Even though Marlon was over-leveled for this dungeon, that does not mean he must not be careful of uncertain enemies. They were even rumors of some dungeon bosses having superior A.I. that they ignore the taunts of tanks. The duo both prayed that the boss monster would be a simple dungeon boss but Adrian is having this foreboding feeling that it was not the case yet he put that thought in the back of his mind.

Adrian then commanded his soulbounds.

" Sirius use Howl and Kanlaon initiate with your breath attack. Aim for different enemies to divide their attention." Adrian commanded.

Marlon was about to ask what else Adrian would do when he saw his best friend's weapon enlarging and his best friend charged to the enemies. Adrian used his skill Assault Charge to hit a nearby Cursed Treant. Marlon did not find what Adrian did was strange but he recalled that Adrian has magic. He knows that summoners that get magic would not invest much on the strength attribute because the essential stats like dexterity and endurance would fall behind by a lot but the questions would be for later when they finished the dungeon. He then focused on the battle and started healing Adrian's summons that fall to half health. He used the basic priest skill Heal that is the main skill that players of that job class learn on their job acquisition.

Skill: Heal

Effect: Restores the health of the target by [100 + (10× Devotion Stat)].

Cooldown: 5 seconds

Cast Time: Instant

Mana Cost: 50 MP

Marlon's devotion stat is at 100. Some people might say it is low but for a level 45 player that is already quite high. Usually, Priest players at his level will have their devotion stat at 40-50 because of the grueling task of increasing it which is one of the reasons that there are few players that are priests and even fewer that are not affiliated to a guild. Top guild are willing to invest in Priest players because of their usefulness in raids and parties. Adrian is sure that Marlon has offers from guilds but chose not to because of he wants to be on the same guild as Adrian. If Marlon had a backing of a guild he would probably be on the hundreds level by now. Adrian really admires his best friend and treats him like a brother. They even call each other's mother as aunt because even their mothers a good friends.

Adrian was not only doing physical damage but also magical damage by conjuring spacemines to confuse the cursed treants attacking them. Kanlaon's fire attribute breath is very effective on the cursed treants because of their wood attributes. Sirius on the other hand has been having difficulty because of the tricky branches that suddenly grows which is why Saena's healing skill is focused on Sirius when he is in range. When Kanlaon managed to take down a cursed treant, several level up prompts flooded Adrian's vision.

[Saena has leveled up]

[Saena has leveled up]

[Saena has leveled up]

[Saena has leveled up]

[Saena has leveled up]

[Saena has leveled up]

[Saena has leveled up]

[Saena has leveled up]

[Saena has leveled up]

[Saena has leveled up]

Saena leveled up ten times from one cursed treant. The cursed treant give huge experience but has little to no drop items. Literally, there was no item dropped. Not even, bronze coins which is why no player even bothers going here even if the experience is high plus the immense health of the cursed treants. An ordinary player would give immense effort for ordinary returns but Adrian does not have the strength to complain because there are nine more cursed treants remaining to topple down. When Adrian was occupied in his thoughts, a cursed treant managed to grip him using its branches. Adrian's HP is being drained continuously as he is being squeezed alive.

Marlon noticed this and immediately cast one of his offensive spells that are effective on creatures that are affiliated with 'evil'.

" May the light of the Goddess, shine on your atrocity and purge you of your sins. Holy Smite." Marlon chanted and something like lightning came down from the heavens to strike the cursed treant.

Skill: Holy Smite

Effect: Deals 300+(50×Devotion Stat) to the target. Deals double damage to enemies that are affiliated to 'evil'.

Cooldown: 1 minute

Cast Time: 1 second

Mana Cost: 500 MP

When the skill hit the cursed treant, its grip loosened enabling Adrian to escape from his bindings. Marlon immediately cast heal on Adrian so he could once again fight and was shocked because of the system prompt that appeared before him.

[You have saved the favored child of the twin gods. Your Devotion stat has increased by 5]

Adrian did not want to use magic because he noticed that the cursed treants had high magic defense which is why even Kanlaon with an elemental advantage takes time dealing with just one. Kanlaon has already managed to put another treant in under 50% HP when Adrian hit it with a spacemine it suddenly collapsed. It was then that Adrian remembered one of his titles.

Title: Champion of the Twin Gods

Effect: Enhances likability for races with Asmodian Heritage. Enhances effect of healing spells by 10%. Chance to execute enemies under 50% health by 5%.

Adrian has never triggered this effect once or he has never seen it trigger with his eyes. He probably triggered it when he was fighting in the Forgotten Cemetery but did not notice because of the numerous enemies coming at him. Now that he witnessed it, he could not deny it was overpowered. This effect probably only affects normal mobs because it would be game breaking if he could instantly execute bosses. It also has the modifier 'chance' which is the reason it does not trigger often even though it has the percentage of 5%. Adrian speculated that it probably would trigger under very special circumstances or it could be due to RNG but he did not bother thinking about it now and only focused on the battle. With eight more remaining, Adrian wanted to ease the stress on Sirius that was busy confusing the enemy. Adrian would cast Chrono Lag on a cursed treant when it would almost catch Sirius. Adrian has perfect view of the battle field even though he moves all the time. He ordered Kanlaon to sync with him to beat one cursed treant at a time. It would be a difficult battle.
