Omega Summoner

All the clay soldiers that Peridot newly created exploded before the Taowu could destroy them. She made sure to do that as it would maximize the explosion damage of the clay soldiers. She could also control where the shards will spread out as a result.

Lycan and the Taowu are locked in a bitter battle against each other while the latter is taking a beating from Peridot. The Taowu would sometimes do a sneak attack to try and aim for Peridot, but Kabrakan would be near to support her.

Kabrakan also supports Lycan when the attack of the Taowu would contain a powerful knockback effect. He would be the one that absorbs the attack instead as he will not easily get knocked back to his full beast form. The Taowu actually became a bit pitiful at this point as it could not use most of its skills.

The Taowu is severely restricted because it only has three opponents. If it had at least ten opponents, then it would unlock a skill that can do area of effect damage. To make matters worse is that the trio has lower levels than it which means the power of the Taowu will not scale.

The three are still incredibly powerful though as it is not easy going against a field boss when the level difference is fifty. Most important to note is that the opponent is also a special type of monster which is far stronger than an ordinary field boss. Things would have been different if Peridot did not stock up on the gems needed to cast powerful spells.

Just as the three thought that they could easily win the battle by maintaining the status quo, the Taowu suddenly changed when it reached the half health mark. The Taowu suddenly howled and opened its huge mouth which revealed the nasty fangs inside it but also a closed huge eye present inside it.

The closed huge eye suddenly opened wide and the three thought that a beam will shoot out if it, but the Taowu just closed its mouth after that. They did not know what the effect of the eye is, but it was Lycan that first noticed the effects of the opened eye.

Lycan, who had an easy time against the Taowu, suddenly started missing attacks that should have connected against the Taowu. This led to the development of Lycan getting more health chipped off compared to the previous instance where he could just heal it back again. Even the tail of the Taowu evades him which made him perplexed if the eye actually decreased his stats or something.

It is also not just Lycan that felt this change as Kabrakan also noticed that the Taowu’s attack will suddenly change when he blocks it. It suddenly had great intelligence to the point that it could change its stance in the middle of a fight. It might be a monster that is not normal but the abrupt change in character made them incredibly wary.

Peridot is the next one that observed the change as her magic spells started to get dodged just at the last second. She thought that the Taowu got faster but she could not verify with the others through the group chat as it is disabled. She needed to shout her speculation but that would mean the Taowu learning of their interaction.

She knows that the Taowu is incredibly intelligent which is not normal for a field boss at this level. It even acted sleeping just to lower the guard of the three. It thinks like a genius human, and they suddenly thought that it must have been a human that turned into a monster.

“It got faster.” Peridot stated.

“I got slower.” Lycan stated.

“It got boosted reaction speed.” Kabrakan stated.

All three of them suddenly got shocked of their three different battle observations. If one thing is missing from their team that would be a very observant person that can relay information. Adrian is usually the one that does this when they are grouped together because he sees the battlefield as a whole.

“Are you sure about that statement?” Peridot asked.

“Are you sure about yours?” Lycan added.

“Uhmm…maybe.” Kabrakan answered.

The three of them are now in chaos as they usually express their intentions in the group chat. Now that they needed to use their voices in communicating, they are having quite a bit of confusion and miscommunication. This is to be expected as this is the real intention of making the chat unable to function properly.

They decided that they needed to explain their statements, but the Taowu is not making them do so as easily. While the miscommunication of the three is still fresh, the Taowu became even more aggressive to the point that it almost killed Lycan from one attack. One thing they could agree on is the fact that the Taowu’s attacks became stronger.

Kabrakan suddenly racked his brain on what is happening with the Taowu, and he suddenly have a hunch. He got this hunch thanks to the fact that he saw the Taowu easily evade even the fast magical projectiles. He is not sure, but this is the most feasible thought that he came up with.

“It can predict the future.” Kabrakan stated.

The two could not believe that easily but they suddenly had this feeling that could be the most logical answer. Peridot did not control the magical projectiles when casting spells. She would just let them hit on the location they are intended to land. Lycan’s attack patterns are also easily predictable as well since he has been fighting the Taowu for an extended period of time. 𝑖.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Kabrakan also factored in the sudden changes in the reaction of the Taowu. The fact that it could suddenly change its attack stance whenever he intended to guard is the one that sold the idea to him. Now that they know the thing that hinders them, the most difficult part would be the way to counter a being that could predict the future.

The most difficult opponent is an opponent that could predict the future as they are always two steps ahead of you. The Taowu could be seen smiling at the chaos and confusion that the three are experiencing but they could not read its facial expression because of how ugly it is.

The Taowu then decided to go for another round of attacks as it intends to kill at least one of them. It wanted to kill Peridot first as she is the one that dealt great damage to its body. It is annoyed that the two meat sacks in front of it is greatly inhibiting its movement, but it knows that there will be openings.

The power to see the future is not omnipotent but it is incredibly powerful as it gives the one that knows a plan to succeed. In one of the Taowu’s vision, Lycan would lose his empowered attacks temporarily when the clouds suddenly cover the sky. It would try and kill Peridot when that happens as it knows that spell casters are usually fragile.

The Taowu has already killed a great number of spell casters during its long life. Sometimes it was the one that gets killed but most of the time, the Taowu is the one that gets to do the killing. There is a great reason why spell casters have great damage but weak constitutions.

The Taowu looked at the sky and it saw that one of the moons are already partially covered. The future that it saw is almost there and it only needs to bide its time. It then heard the three of them talking about its ability, but it did not care. Knowing about an ability and knowing how to counter it are two separate things.

Lycan once again tried to overpower the Taowu, but he suddenly felt that he lost his strength. The Taowu looked up for a moment and noticed that the three full moons are covered with clouds. It used most of its strength to send Lycan flying away while it swatted Kabrakan with its tail.

The Taowu suddenly closed in on Peridot but there was no look of bewilderment in her eyes. The Taowu tried to look at the future, but it was blank. It was not getting a response, but it did not stop its attack. The Taowu opened its mouth wide as it wanted to crush Peridot’s body with its sharp teeth and tusks.

Just as it thought that it already won, lightning suddenly dropped down from the sky. The lightning did not hit the Taowu but Peridot. She was suddenly in a different form as she is in a humanoid form with features reminiscent of a dragon. She had grown a tail; big dragon claws and some parts of her skin being covered in scales.

Her whole body is also covered in sparks as she absorbed the energy from the lightning. The next thing she instinctively did is throw an uppercut at the Taowu.
