Omega Summoner

Adrian now holding to two blades that still is big considering it is bigger than Adrian himself. It seems that the Goblin Chieftain now put him in the priority list rather than helping its fellow commanders. It deemed it necessary to finish off Adrian rather than aid the Goblin Mage.

Adrian was now in a fierce 1 on 1 battle with the Goblin Chieftain. Due to his increased agility, even the enraged Goblin Chieftain is having a hard time attacking Adrian. Adrian was weaving through the battlefield as if he was doing a sword dance and his strikes started becoming illusionary which confuses the Goblin Chieftain as he could not parry some of the strikes. 𝑖𝘳.𝒸ℴ𝑚

Although Adrian weaving his body in a circular motion to cover all the surroundings of the Goblin Chieftain is proving effective, it also greatly drains his stamina which is why he decided to use the twin fang form of the first skill of the sword to hasten killing the Goblin Chieftain.

Skill: Soul Searing Crescent Wave (Twin Fang Version)

Tier: Legacy

Type: Active

Effect: Send out a dark crescent sword wave of energy in front of you that deals damage equal to 75% of your total physical attack as physical damage and travels up to ten meters. You can fire one dark crescent sword wave per blade. The skill cooldown will only take effect once both sword waves have been fired. Cannot be blocked using physical defense skills as it is treated as a magic projectile despite dealing physical damage.

Cooldown: 10 seconds

Cast Time: Instant

Essence Cost: 10

Adrian fired off the first sword wave using his left blade and aimed it at the right ankle of the Goblin Chieftain. The Goblin Chieftain was unaware of what hit him and suddenly wailed in pain as it looks at its right leg having been damaged.

[You have dealt 5,763 physical damage to the Goblin Chieftain.]

Due to the increase in damage and his Soul Essence stacks having been full, Adrian now dealt serious damage even to the boss monster. Adrian did not fire the second sword wave because he caught sight of the Goblin Ranger. He was only about twenty meters away from it and he suddenly had a great idea that could be beneficial for Sirius.

Adrian taunted the Goblin Chieftain by smirking in a condescending fashion and it proved useful as it started following him. Adrian led it near the area where Sirius and the goblin ranger were fighting and when the Goblin Chieftain was in striking zone for the skill, Adrian smiled and if he did not notice his smile could give someone the creeps because he smiled just like a demon.

“Sirius use Phantom Rush” Adrian ordered using the soul link.

Sirius disappeared in place and broke the world’s limits and attacked the Goblin Chieftain continuously until the bleed status effect has maximized and it was full of bruises. Adrian did not stay idle though as he used Chrono Lag on the goblin ranger as it entered the maximum distance and used the remaining sword wave to strike the goblin ranger.

[You have successfully slain the Goblin Ranger. Experience points has been gained.]

[You have levelled up]

The goblin ranger died just like that but Adrian did not take a break or look at the dropped loot because a notification suddenly appeared that worried him a bit.

[The Goblin Chieftain has entered Berserker Mode. All its status values will increase by 20% but it will not differentiate between friend and foe.]

One of the most annoying mode for a boss is berserk mode because it has a great rise in stats but also the hidden effect for aggro. Any boss monster who become berserk will not have an aggro function and would attack anyone who strikes at it. Some would say this is beneficial but others would argue because it is not useful for small parties especially in the case of Adrian right now as the Goblin Chieftain is bashing Sirius and is in the brink of dying.

Adrian decided to switch the target to him so he while the Goblin Chieftain was busy catching Sirius and not paying attention to him, he went into a sprint and then jumped. Adrian then plunged his twin swords at the shoulders of the Goblin Chieftain. The leather armor that the Goblin Chieftain showed a bit of resistance and he was only able to plunge the two swords about three inches deep but still the Goblin Chieftain wailed in pain.

The Goblin Chieftain tried to shake Adrian off immediately and it was successful. Adrian did a circular motion in the air and unfolded his wings to regain balance and land safely. Adrian also ordered Sirius to recuperate at Saena’s side and help his fellow soulbounds in dealing with the goblin mage. Sirius reluctantly agreed as it was now only running on a quarter of its max health. Adrian was reserving his Invigorate skill when all of them are facing Goblin Chieftain as his soulbounds would be the one tanking damage when they arrive.

Adrian looked at the health of the Goblin Chieftain and he saw it was still at 65%. It seems its regeneration is as a lesser troll. It must have a skill that toughens itself and increases regeneration when undergoing berserk mode. Adrian decided to stall the Goblin Chieftain since the goblin mage is now struggling with Kanlaon’s barrage of attacks that included its breath attack and tail strikes.

The goblin mage’s mana was visibly going down as it continued to cast its mana shield when blocking Kanlaon’s attacks. It was now hanging on to its 5% mana as a last resort and when it was about to be emptied out, the goblin mage casted an immediate spell and consumed 30% of its health to regain 30% of its mana back. When Kanlaon noticed the phenomenon, he became visibly irritated as the prey managed to hang on by a thread.

Kanlaon was irritated but it knows that the enemy before them was only prolonging the fight as it could no longer attack them because the Goblin Chieftain suddenly charged towards its master. Kanlaon has perfect trust and knows that its master is capable to hold the Goblin Chieftain at bay. Kanlaon was unleashing its breath attack at the goblin mage when it saw its eldest brother, Sirius, going towards them (the soulbound hierarchy will be explained in the succeeding chapters).

Sirius growled and Saena who was perched on top of Kanlaon flew towards Sirius and casted its healing skills at the former. A few minutes passed and Sirius was back to 55% maximum health and joined the assault towards the goblin mage which converted 15% of its health once again as mana. The goblin mage was keen on protecting itself using its mana shield but did not expect its worst enemy to appear.

Sirius immediately used Phantom Rush the moment he was able to and its field of view became colored in grey. Sirius started off with a swipe attack to the goblin mage’s face then bite attacks at its arms and legs. The goblin mage did not know what was attacking it or how to defend against it as its health was visibly reducing. To make matters worse, the goblin mage was hit by the breath attack and was losing health faster. It was no longer able to cast mana shield because of its lack of concentration. It did not take long for the goblin mage to become specks of light.

The soulbounds hurry towards Adrian’s location as they could feel that their master was fatigued. The first to reach was Kanlaon as Sirius was somewhat tired from the recent battle. Kanlaon immediately striked the Goblin Chieftain with its tail and managed to knock it back. The Goblin Chieftain suddenly shifted its aggro towards Kanlaon and it suddenly used a skill. The Goblin Chieftain jumped high that it almost reached the cave’s ceiling and hurled itself downwards like a comet. Kanlaon was caught off guard and was pinned to the ground.

Adrian saw what happened and immediately ordered Sirius to use Ragnarok as Kanlaon was being pounded continuously back towards the ground. If others saw this seen they would be in disbelief as a goblin was able to pin down a ten meter dragon. Though Kanlaon was only taking moderate damage but it was constantly getting affected by the stagger status effect.

Sirius was visibly angered as he could see his little brother getting pinned towards the ground which is why it activated its Ragnarok skill immediately. The silhouette of a giant wolf like creature appeared as Sirius charged towards the Goblin Chieftain. The Goblin Chieftain sensed the killing intent and looked towards the source but was not able to defend against the attack as it hit the Goblin Chieftain’s body directly.

Goblin Chieftain roared in pain and a visible hole can be seen on its stomach but it still had 10% of its health remaining. It was then a giant ghoulish sword materialized above its head and it plunged down creating black smoke and generated a shockwave that blew debris and small stones away from its location.
