Chapter 352: Second Job Class Advancement II
The locusts got sucked in by the twister that is Adrian and started dying as soon as they are caught. The locusts were only had numerical advantage but were low on health, so they perished once they were stuck inside the twister.
The time it took Adrian to rid of the locusts also made enough time for the Anubis to recover. The Anubis waited for the exact time for it to attack Adrian as it could not just charge in blindly towards the twister that is Adrian.
What the Anubis did not expect is the twister started moving from its location. Adrian took exactly three seconds of spinning to even try moving towards someone. At first, he stabilized his bearing because spinning continuously for just one second would definitely make anyone dizzy.
If the game did not lessen the effect of the dizziness that Adrian is feeling right now, then he would have collapsed two seconds in. The sudden movement of the twister that is Adrian put a halt on the plans of the Anubis to wait for the perfect time to strike.
The Anubis had no choice but to use the crowd control skill that it uses on souls that try and escape from Limbo's door. The bandages that were wrapping the Anubis' body started to entangle and shoot towards Adrian.
The bandages were like boas that tried strangling Adrian, but his speed of rotation was much faster than the bandages could entangle him. Strips of bandages scattered about but those same strips started to bundle up again and shoot towards Adrian.
The bandages slowly but surely are taking their effect as Adrian's speed of rotation started to dwindle. Some of the bandages started to stick to Adrian's body and started to slow him down. Soon Adrian stopped spinning and the bandages finally wrapped most of his body.
[You are stunned for one second.]
Adrian became stunned due to the bandages wrapping him. One second was enough for the Anubis to deal damage equivalent to 30% of his total health. Adrian made sure to counterattack and deal as much damage as he could.
Adrian could now see the effects of his transformation taking a toll on the Anubis. Adrian's attacks were enchanted with fire and frost. He may not be able to use the dragon breath because of the restriction but the passive enchantments were very welcomed.
"My opponent is at 40% health while I am at 53% health. I need to at least bring the Anubis' health down to 15%." Adrian thought as he finally used the last skill of the axe psyche armament.
"Nature's Punisher" Adrian stated as he jumped ten meters into the sky.

Adrian's axe psyche armament glowed green with an immense energy imbued in it. Adrian chopped down with his axe towards the ground and the whole arena is enveloped in green energy. The Anubis was not able to doge because the whole arena was hit so it did its best to defend.
The Anubis summoned a sarcophagus and hid inside to be protected from the initial brunt of the damage. The sarcophagus broke upon the initial hit of the skill while the succeeding explosion dealt huge damage upon the Anubis that was left unprotected.
"Paradox, summon the twin dagger psyche armament." Adrian muttered discreetly as he did not want the Anubis to hear it.
"Soul Seeker" Adrian whispered as he threw the dagger in his right hand.
The Anubis was not able to dodge the dagger due to being blinded by the green burst of light of the final explosion. Adrian immediately became a shadow and reappeared in front of the Anubis as the dagger was stuck in its abdomen. The Anubis tried to dodge but Adrian' skill could not be dodged as it was sure hit once one of the daggers embed on the person.
The Anubis did not bother to dodge anymore as it knows its fate. It is one of the perks of being the Judge of the Dead after all. Adrian saw the Anubis' expression and he was rather disturbed because the Anubis was smiling. The last dagger connected with the other dagger and Adrian finally won the battle after lots of tries.
[You have won the battle.]
[Your skill Perfect Assimilation has ended.]
[Congratulations! You have passed the last requirement to advance to your second job class, Eclipse Summoner.]
Adrian and Kanlaon separated and all his soulbounds returned to the Soul Chamber. Adrian's body then levitated to the sky as new power enveloped him. As a Soul Summoner, Adrian's job class dealt with souls of the dead which made him be considered as a gatekeeper of the dead, but the Eclipse Summoner is different.
The Cube of Paradox hovered over Adrian and broke into tiny pieces. Adrian's weapon was not broken but rather his psyche armaments were finally being imbued with another energy. Adrian's Soul Essence gauge transformed into something different since he was no longer a Soul Summoner.
Adrian's dark colored psyche armament started gaining golden streaks to their overall design. Adrian's little crown that is floating above his head also changed color to a platinum color. Once the psyche armaments changed their color palette, the Cube of Paradox became whole once more and specs of golden light could be seen being emitted from it.
Adrian's job advancement not only affected him but also the world around him as the dark atmosphere of limbo started to form an aurora. This signifies that the Soul Summoner ascended to a greater being that is the Eclipse Summoner. The summoner that sees the balance of all the worlds no matter big or small.
