Adrian was not aware that in the pet shop in the town of Genesis that only 0.1% of the creatures there have a strain. The reason the information was unknown was because when picking a creature to familiarize with it does not tell the details. He was either very lucky or very passionate.
Adrian was very eager to test Sirius' combat abilities, but he held himself back and and checked the new skills that his soulbound obtained.
Effect: The basic attack of the Demon Wolf species. Enhances damage of attacks using fangs or teeth by 10%.
Effect: Freezes the time in an area of 10-meter diameter for five seconds and attacks every enemy inside. Deals 1.5 times the attack damage.
Skill: Alpha Predator
Effect: Damage dealt to enemies induce bleed status. Deals 0.1% HP damage every second. Stacks up to ten times. Overall damage increases by 10%. Speed increases by 1% per successful attack and increments up to ten times that lasts until the end of the battle.
Skill: Magic Resistance
Effect: Magic related damage are reduced by 5%.
Effect: Enables the monster to learn basic elemental magic.
Adrian's mind was blown away by the descriptions of the skills that Sirius has obtained. He was overpowered. If this was the result of him having the strain of a demon lupus, then what would happen if Adrian could inject him (if possible) with an even stronger strain. He was excited if that were true that means his soulbound could become stronger than any other summoner's soulbound.
He calmed himself down a few moments later to focus on his objective of reaching level 10.
The duo then proceeded to the area that was supposed to be the boss area according to the forums. The area was a hill that was 8 meters in height, but the twist is that this hill was actually a beehive. Outside the hive there were bees going in and out of the hive.
Monster: Giant Killer Worker Bees
Description: These specific types of giant killer bees do not have a way to fight except lunging to the target using their stingers but grow weak when the stinger leaves their body. They do make great honey though.
Adrian commanded to start his assault but first placed a spacemine at the entrance of the hive that he will detonate later. Sirius started his assault he became a blur instantly and reappeared to the closest worker bee. With just one swipe, the worker bee dropped to the ground and turn to pixels.
"OMG!" said Adrian with a face that looked like the shocked face emoji.
Sirius continued his assault which made him faster and faster courtesy of his Alpha Predator passive skill. The worker bees tried to lunge at Sirius but inevitably met their swift demise unable to carry out revenge. The ruckus outside alerted the soldier bees and even the queen bee and his two royal guards. The soldier guards numbered about a dozen.
Monster: Giant Killer Soldier Bee
Description: The soldier bee keeps control and protects the hive if the hive is threatened. These bees are not afraid to sacrifice themselves for the hive.
Monster: Giant Killer Royal Guard Bee
Description: The royal guard bee protects the queen from harm. These bees are not afraid to sacrifice themselves for the queen. They use their enhanced spear like upper foreleg to poke the intruder to death.
Monster: Giant Killer Queen Bee
Description: The queen bee is the main source of the hives coordination and longevity. Able to command legions of bees to decimate their foe.
" It seems we are a bit of a predicament, buddy" Adrian told Sirius with a slightly worried tone.
" We have to go all out then. Sirius use howl." Adrian ordered.
Sirius buffed himself then jumped into the fray. As soon as he attacked, the queen bee was supposed to issue a command until the space all around it suddenly exploded a sound like glass breaking. The blast disoriented the queen which the royal guard bees went towards the queen to support the bee.
"So, it was not enough damage. Sirius execute Phantom Rush", Adrian shouted.
Sirius' bangles suddenly glow and the area he was in and suddenly vanished in thin air. The area turned into a gray colored silhouette where Sirius can be seen running on air as if it was solid ground. He was attacking faster than Adrian's eyes could follow.
The skill Phantom Rush did not literally freeze time in an area but instead freezes the time for the user and lets the user move freely within that time frame in the specified area. The skill makes the user be unable to target unless the user has time manipulation skills or magics to counter the user in order to bring him back to the chains of the real world.
The gray colored area represents the area-of-effect that the skill can reach and once out of the area, you cannot be damaged. Although it is no easy feat to escape someone who escaped the philosophy of the world.
This skill was the result of Adrian's constitution to his soulbound. Soulbounds are influenced by their master like in terms of skills and evolution which is a reason why the summoner job is not that famous because it is full of uncontrolled variables that can influence your game play.
Adrian was not sitting idly as Sirius undergoes his skill. He made tons of spacemines until his mana was completely emptied and bombarded the living hell out of the bees. The bees were not even able to retaliate and was directly turned into pixels.
[Player has leveled up]
Adrian was so tired after the battle that he slumped towards the ground. He then reluctantly stood up to pick up the loot. He got bronze and silver coins and some interesting items. The most important was a silver grade soulstone.
Item: Killer Queen Bee Soul Stone
Requirement: Insectomancer
Description: Soul stone of the Killer Queen Bee. The soulbound can produce a beehive that is dependent of the level of the user.
No. of Summoning Trial: 3
Item: Killer Bee Honey
Description: This honey is to die for.
Item: Ring of the Queen Bee
Effect: Increases health regeneration by 50%. Has a very small chance of triggering a poison effect on attacks.
Adrian was very happy with the loot although he could not utilize the soul stone since it was restricted to an Insectomancer. An insectomancer is a job advancement for a summoner which mainly deals with insect summons.
Adrian wanted the Killer Queen Bee because he utilized an army but opted to sell it instead because he is not that fond of insects and the army would probably have multiple restrictions since the soulbound was the Queen Bee not the entire beehive. Adrian with Sirius in tow went to the teleport gate then to the fracture to return to the Paradox Plane.
Adrian then went to the town hall to look for Ascalor. Ascalor then smiled as he went to teach the next part of the quest.
[Quest Growing Stronger I has been completed.]
Ascalor wants you to learn to utilize you wings for the imp race are the only ones of the Daemos that can take to the skies.
Clear Condition: Acquire Flight Mastery II
Reward: Random Rune Box
"I totally forgot that the Imp species could fly. Hahah" Adrian muttered.
"I believe this calls for a demonstration then." Ascalor reprimanded.
