Adrian and Kanlaon are pulling the chain of the harpoon that is piercing Sirius' leg. Adrian tried to order Sirius to use his movement abilities but he cannot use them.
[Your soulbound Sirius cannot use Portal Assault due to being immobilized.]
[Your soulbound Sirius cannot dive in the shadows due to being immobilized.]
Adrian felt no other choice than to pull the harpoon from Sirius' leg. Adrian touched the harpoon but he was damaged instead.
[You have received 100 damage.]
Adrian then looked at the harpoon and saw that it suddenly was covered with spikes. He also felt that the harpoon was alive as it responded to him gripping it tightly. Adrian then cast his Evil Eyes on the harpoon to identify it.
Monster: Living Parasitic Harpoon
Durability: Tied to user's life
Description: An ordinary harpoon that was said to be transformed into a parasitic living weapon due to the grudge of the monster slain by it. This weapon is tied to the user's life and it would die when the user also dies.
Adrian was astounded as he has never seen a weapon . It was such a shame that this weapon was already bound to the undead Captain Baha. It means that after killing Captain Baha then the weapon would also disappear with him.
Adrian pulled the harpoon despite being damaged every five seconds. Finally, he managed to pull it with Kanlaon's assistance. Sirius let out a pained cry and Adrian saw that the harpoon had tiny spikes at its blade. Those tiny spikes is one of the reason that the blade is firmly inserted Sirius.
Adrian then ordered Saena to immediately tend to Sirius while he and Kanlaon pulled harder on the chain. Thankfully, the chain had no spikes or anything. It did not take long for the Vortex to disappear and the numerous undead to continue charging at them.
Adrian is now presented a choice on either to let go and deal with the flooding undead or keep holding the chain and get overrun by undead. Adrian did not want to choose so he thought of the craziest idea and that was to get dragged by the chain.
"Kanlaon, let go. All of you follow me when I get dragged." Adrian commanded via their soul link.
Of course, Adrian did not get himself dragged like a sack but he still resisted. If he gets dragged too fast and was attacked by undead then he could only blame himself for his poor judgement. Adrian was getting dragged by 1 foot per ten seconds.
Undead that see them will charge at the group indiscriminately. Adrian ordered Kanlaon and Sirius to attack those who get too close to them. Adrian would then use Quantum Spacemines in order to get soul essences. Adrian would then use the essences to increase his strength so that he could delay getting pulled.
The experience that the group gain was little but since they could easily dispatch undead then it was worth it. Each undead that they kill gives about two per cent experience points so just about fifty would level Adrian up. Adrian already gained two levels which means they already killed a hundred undead.
The only problem now is the stamina that is being continuously depleted. Thankfully, the devs made a slight patch where the stamina bar gets a tiny bit bigger if you deplete it. Adrian was also using his soul essence to decrease the stamina consumption.
It did not take long for the named undead called Captain Baha to be in Adrian's line of vision. He finally saw the menacing undead that had a golden colored name. True to his title, Captain Baha was indeed a captain but a pirate captain.
Captain Baha was wearing torn and slightly spectral clothes that one would expect a pirate in famous movies would wear. His face was pale and some spots were rotting. His hair was until his shoulders and the hair was floating as if it was underwater.
Captain Baha's right hand was clasping the chain where the harpoon is connected. His left hand was holding a scimitar. His eyes glow an eerie red and his killing intent flared up when he saw what Adrian was doing.
"How dare a mortal hold my mighty weapon!?" Captain Baha shouted.
"So it is intelligent to some degree." Adrian thought.
Adrian thought that Captain Baha was like other undead that hated the living that it would attack indiscriminately. It seems the crown fragment had a significant effect on undead that it even increases their thinking capacity.
Adrian did not bother to respond but instead ordered Kanlaon to attack Captain Baha.
"Insolent" Captain Baha snorted.
The breath attack that Captain Baha was about to be hit was then blocked by a rising curtain of water. Adrian saw what Captain Baha did as he swiped his scimitar in an upward swipe then that curtain of water rose.
"His sword seems to be able to control water but only to a certain extent." Adrian said as he put all his soul essence to his strength.
Adrian weakened his grip a little on the chain. Captain Baha became a bit unbalanced due to Adrian's sudden action. Adrian then pulled back hard in return. Adrian managed to yank Captain Baha towards him thereby making Captain Baha's face greet the sand.
What Adrian did was a strategy in tug of war. Unlike others who just pull as hard as they can, Adrian uses Newton's Third Law of Motion. Any type of action will have an equal and opposite reaction.
By Adrian letting go in a short time duration, Captain Baha did not immediately register the necessary force to balance his body. Adrian then pulled with double his strength which in turn dragged Captain Baha. Some professional athletes do this sometimes in order to clutch their win.
"Kanlaon, turn up the fireworks. Sirius, use Phantom Rush to decimate the mobs." Adrian commanded via their soul link.
