Chapter 472: Primordial Stance: Sword Form
The members of the dark gamers that is caught are burned to cinders or died of frost. The dark gamers that tried to save their companions changed attitude and went for the kill. Their suffering would not be in vain if they can kill the three people in front of them.
The only problem for the dark gamers is that there are no high-ranking officers or high leveled members with them today. They still have the confidence that they can easily win as they still outnumber them. There are still twenty of them remaining which is why they are confident.
"Greater Summon: Dodu"
"Greater Summon: Saena"
Adrian summoned his last two soulbounds that he needed. The enemy is now serious in dealing with them, but he is confident. Kanlaon could easily tank the spells that is hurled at him and Charon is covering the team from magical damage.
Dodu is now summoned so that he can protect the two healers from physical damage. Adrian wanted to try his Primordial Stance passive that he finally unlocked. He did not yet try in the dungeons he visited because he wanted for his soulbounds to gain experience battling.
A post in the forums hinted that soulbounds could learn from repetitive movements. Some soulbounds could even unlock skills from this repetitive movements but Adrian did not unlock any for his summons. His summons did increase when it came to response and battle as their AI is becoming smarter the higher level they become.
"Aim for the two priests. If they fall then the summoner would also fall." The person who seems to be the current commander shouted.
The dark gamers already knew that they should target the priests first because they make the battle more difficult. The problem for them is that the strange undead is soaking up the magic spells hurled at the two priests. They are getting infuriated because they are basically just wasting mana.
If somehow the priests get damage, then the white bird soulbound would automatically heal the priests. Adrian is now ready to deal with the players surrounding them. He finally recalled the Cube of Paradox as he needed it for summoning his armaments.
"Paradox, Summon Primordial Armament: Sword." Adrian commanded.
The Cube of Paradox released a purple electricity and the sword armament manifested in front of Adrian. Once Adrian touched the sword, his attire suddenly changed into an armored battle suit. His previous battle suit made him look like a noble, but he now looks like a noble knight. The cloth of his battle suit became metal, and he even got a notification.
[You are currently in Primordial Stance: Sword Form]
[Your defenses are increased by 20% in this form.]
[You have a 5% chance to block incoming physical attacks.]
[You have 1% chance of blocking incoming magical projectiles.]
Everyone in battle saw that the demon player suddenly changed attire. He also brought out a sword, but the elven enemies thought that they are the ones with the advantage. If they kill the summoner then all his soulbounds would disappear.
This is one of the reasons why the summoners like to prioritize getting bows or staffs. The weakness of the summoner is the summoner itself. The dark gamers waited patiently for the demon player to charge towards them. Even with the support of two priests, he cannot withstand attacks from them. Summoners are very squishy after all.
"Dang, bro. You look cool." Levin Cloud commented as he started preparing the traps around them.
"I agree. It becomes you." Anastacia commented but she is still vigilant.
"I never knew that my whole armor would change. If I have a helmet and a cloak, then those might transform as well. The problem is cloaks are like the rarest armor while helmets are only produced by blacksmiths." Adrian stated.
Cloaks are the rarest form of armor not because of their scarcity but because of the effects. Cloaks are only made by people with the tailor profession and tailors with high mastery are only employed by the royals. Tailors are basically exclusive workers for royals and no player has crafted a good cloak before.
Shabby cloaks are for sale but the stats it gives are basically just an effect. Cloaks are also notoriously easy to tear which is why people opt to use back ornaments rather than cloaks. Helmets are easy to get but there is no blacksmith in the Paradox Planes.
Adrian could not commission one because his head needs to be measured and his horns are different from a dragonkin. He would immediately get chased out or even imprisoned if he goes to a blacksmith in the city.
"Anyways, my fashion problems should be solved later." Adrian stated.
"Twin Fang Form." Adrian stated as his sword split into two.
Adrian held his two swords while the dark gamers waited in anticipation. The dark gamers are waiting for Adrian to leave their protective ground. Contrary to their expectations, Adrian did not run but he suddenly vanished from his location.
"AAARGHH!"
A scream is then heard as one of the elven warriors burst into particles of light. Adrian basically one shot the dark gamer.
[You have successfully executed the enemy.]
"It finally activated. I always thought that the developers nerfed my execution chance, but it is just really low. It probably is lower when it comes to higher leveled opponents." Adrian thought as he used Blink once more to a nearby mage.
Adrian did not one shot the mage, but his empowered attacks easily tore through half of the mage's health. He immediately followed it up using his Soul Searing Crescent Wave as the tanks came running towards the mage. The Soul Searing Crescent Wave killed the mage and slowed down the tanks that are trying to stun him in place.
Adrian once again used Blink. The dark gamers that looked down on a summoner that can fight in melee range suddenly wished that he did not leave his previous location. They started dropping like flies once he did.
While Adrian is rampaging, one of the elven assassins came very close to Anastacia. Even Sirius did not detect the elven assassin. She brandished her two daggers and stabbed Anastacia at the back, but no blood came out of her.
[You have dealt 0 damage to the Predatory Slime Dodu.]
"What!" The elven assassin reacted but it was too late.
Dodu made itself two times bigger and swallowed the elven assassin. She tried to break free, but she cannot. Dodu is immune to physical attacks which means she entered a death trap. What made her even more afraid is that her skin is starting to blister and melt.
[You are being affected by the skill Acid Body. You will receive 0.1% health damage per second.]
Adrian hunted down Acid Slugs for a few days until he could gain that skill for Dodu. He basically cleared the whole area of the Acid Slugs just to get that one skill. It took awhile because Dodu had to fully digest one Acid Slug for two hours. The monsters are giant one-meter slugs with a body made of corrosive acid.
[You soulbound, Dodu, ha started his digesting process.]
"Which unlucky soul managed to get devoured? I hope that person would not get traumatized at least." Adrian thought as he received the system message. He could see the sheer terror in the eyes of all of Dodu's prey. The inside of his slime must really be terrifying.
"Archers and Mages focus the dragon. Tanks and Warriors aim for the priests." A male elven dark gamer commanded as he also sent an SOS for backup. He wanted to buy enough time so that their reinforcements would arrive. He already judged that they would lose more even if they killed their three enemies.
Kanlaon is currently hovering above Levin Cloud and Anastacia per Adrian's orders. He basically became one of their protections but even a dragon cannot do everything by itself. If Kanlaon is a hundred levels above the enemies then he could but he was not.
"Sirius, start the slaughter." Adrian commanded via their soul link.
From Charon's shadow, Sirius finally appeared. The demon wolf that is now the same height of a human growled at the incoming warriors and tank players. Adrian is busy chasing the nimble archer players so that he could ease Kanlaon's burden.
The dark gamers thought that the wolf soulbound would be the easiest of the enemy summons. They have numerous experiences in killing wolf type monsters since they are basically entry level enemies. The dark gamers still have their guard up because a wolf that huge is usually a boss monster.
The dark gamer even thought that the demon player managed to tame a boss monster which is said to be impossible. They started charging towards the priests, but the large wolf suddenly vanished. The next thing they knew is one of their members have their arms bitten off. Shadows is suddenly spread out and bound them. The loud cries of the melee dak gamers echoed throughout the area.
