Omega Summoner

Chapter 165: Take Our Time

Adrian once again checked the status of the Calcite Rock Dragon and was relieved somewhat.

Monster: Calcite Rock Dragon (Awakened)

Health: (39.8% out of 100%)

Status: Category II Toxicity, Weakened (20%), Berserk

Adrian is thankful that the white armored buff man which is the rock dragon is still affected by poison and the weakened. But knowing that it was still weakened made Adrian shiver. It was weakened to 20% and yet the monster still hit like a truck. Adrian was afraid that he would have just turn into particles by now if it was not weakened.

He looked towards the rock dragon gain but it was no longer up in the air. A scream was then heard from somewhere. Adrian turned his attention to where he heard the scream and saw that the rock dragon is choking another person.

The rock dragon is choking a tank that unfortunately activated its taunt towards the former. He was probably ordered to do it so that the others may know the abilities of the rock dragon. The tanks health was visibly dropping but Cersei seemed to cast a curse on the rock dragon.

”Curse of Infestation” Cersei stated.

A huge wave of flying leeches appeared from a magic circle that Cersei summoned and latched onto the body of the rock dragon. The rock dragon did not bother swatting them because its skin was still of a dragonʼs despite using human form.

”Petty tricks for mere insects.” The rock dragon spoke to which all of the raid party was surprised.

”It is better that you underestimate us. So that you will be less vigilant.” Cersei teasingly replied as if she already expected the boss monster to be able to speak.

”You hide your weakness behind a façade.” The rock dragon rebutted.

”Do I? My babies have already done their job.” Cersei said with a bit of a chuckle.

The flying leeches that were summoned did not penetrate the skin of the rock dragon. After a few seconds of failing to penetrate the skin, the flying leeches just exploded and afflicted the Infestation status condition on the rock dragon. The flying leeches that exploded scattered their bacteria on the rock dragon which is the reason why it became afflicted by Infestation.

[The Calcite Rock Dragon has been successfully afflicted by the Curse of Infestation.]

[The Calcite Rock Dragon will lose 0.1 of its health every ten seconds.]

The Curse of Infestation is Cerseiʼs most powerful curse that she can afflict. Normally, the skill should be chanted for one hour but Cersei used the option of her witchesʼ hat. Cerseiʼs witch hat has an option that can store one spell of hers and be cast immediately. This was the trump card she prepared for the dungeon raid.

Witches have really powerful curse but the downside is that she must be alive for it to continue afflicting the target. If Cersei dies then even her powerful curse will be dispelled. The rock dragon noticed something wrong with its body apart from the poison and weakened status effect. The rock dragon was visibly irritated and popped the head of the tank like it was a balloon.

The rock dragon charged towards Cersei like a bolt of lightning. The rock dragon was then blocked by a tank that suddenly appeared in front of it. The tank looked determined and ready to sacrifice herself for Cersei. All the remaining raid party members already knew the situation they were in and knew that all they needed was to buy time.

The female tank blocked the charge of the rock dragon but she was not prepared for the intense force the attack carried. She was flung dozens of meter due to the force that the attack carried. Luckily, she was not killed by it and was only badly injured.

Other tanks would then take turns stopping the charge of the rock dragon. The tanks would even be buffed by the support players so that they could receive the attack of the rock dragon easily. Adrian also helped by casting Chrono Lag on the rock dragon before he hit the tank which greatly reduced the force.

Currently Adrian was not the focus of the rock dragon and is taking healing from Saena. Kanlaon dropped in a pool of lava and has yet to surface. Adrian knows that Kanlaon was alright but was probably knocked out cold. Kanlaon must be at the lava pool and is currently sleeping because of the intense knock on his head.

Sirius was also badly injured and could not stand. Saena was giving her all to heal Adrian and Sirius to a decent health but the two were suffering from a healing reduction. The healing was actually cut by half due to this so Saena was expending a lot of time healing the two.

Adrian still has the deep sleep status condition but he cannot afflict the rock dragon with that. Deep Sleep only activates for targets that are above 50% health. Adrian wanted to afflict the boss with this first when the boss raid started but it just so happens that the boss was asleep. He could only save this status condition for a future battle.

The tanks are doing their best to hold off the rock dragon but they are receiving tons of damage just to do so. The healers are also chugging up mana potions so that they could keep up the healing for the tanks. Slowly but surely, the remaining players were shaving off the health of the rock dragon. The damage dealing classes would fire off a skill or two just to damage the rock dragon.

Mariposa was also looking for a perfect time to attack with her soulbound. She wanted to attack but she thought that protecting Cersei right now were top priority. If Cersei gets targeted, Mariposa will gladly sacrifice her soulbounds just to keep the former safe. This raidʼs success is now hanging on the fact that they survive for a given amount of time.

”Ragh!” The rock dragon released a battle cry that created a shockwave that knocked people back.

Its armor started shining once more and it was forming an orb of light in its hand. It was releasing incoherent mumbling like kame or something. The players were not paying attention to what it was mumbling because they recognize that orb of light. It was reminiscent to the breath attack that it did earlier on except its power is compressed.

The players could feel the power building up from the orb of light and immediately went on the offensive. They released their offensive attacks on the rock dragon but it was not even flinching and just soaking up the attacks. Adrian who saw this immediately enlarged his gauntlets and shot himself towards the rock dragon despite still being low in health.

Adrian could clearly see the immense energy that the orb of light carried due to the nature of the Daemos to perceive energy. Adrian knew that anyone hit by that beam will be immediately vaporized. If the beam will just fire straight then it would not be a problem.

Adrian had a foreboding feeling that if the beam hits any surface then it would produce something like an explosion which would decimate all the remaining players.

Adrian formed his fists into a knuckle and tried to punch the rock dragon so that it will crash to the ground. It was a good attempt but sadly Adrian was the one repelled. It felt like he punched a mountain or something as the dragon did not even budge. It was him that was sent crashing down instead.

”No other choice then. Sirius use Portal Assault and then Ragnarok.” Adrian ordered.

Sirius heeded the command and entered a portal. A few seconds later, Sirius reappeared next to the rock dragon but the latter did not pay any attention to the former. Sirius then activated Ragnarok and the rock dragon suddenly felt that there was a tyrannical aura behind him.

The rock dragon panicked and then fired off the beam it was collecting on his hands despite not being fully charged.

[Your soulbound Sirius has been dealt with catastrophic damage.]

Sirius was hit by a beam of light and his body was even pierced. Sirius failed to deal damage to the rock dragon and was sent crashing towards the ground. Sirius did not die from the damage of the beam but the rock dragon followed Sirius to the ground.

The rock dragon kept on pummeling Sirius so that it could kill him. Adrian who saw this scene charged like a madman to save Sirius. He even used Blink to shorten the distance even more. Adrian who saw his very first soulbound being thrashed around could not keep his cool.

”Ahhh!” Adrian used Assault Charge and empowered it with all his soul essence and nether energy.

The rock dragon that kept pummeling Sirius to the ground saw the person charging towards it and felt the dangerous energy. The rock dragon stopped pummeling the already weak Sirius and ended the latterʼs life with a stomp.

[Your soulbound Sirius has died.]

When Adrian saw these words, he could not control his emotion and flew into immense rage. He activated Blink to immediately shorten the gap between him and the rock dragon. Adrian reappeared in front of the rock dragon and the latter did not react in time as a fist full of intense energy welcomed the latterʼs face. The rock dragon was sent flying by Adrianʼs attack which once again stunned everyone.

[You have created a special skill through an interaction.]
