The duo needs to assess the strength of the Fire Raptors despite having an infant modifier beside its name. They should not underestimate their opponents despite them being so young. There is a reason why the word underdog was created.
"I will send Charon to lure one towards us." Adrian stated.
"Is he not too weak for that? He might get one shot." Levin Cloud retorted.
"He has a passive that makes him only weak to holy attribute magic." Adrian replied as he summoned Charon.
The little life eater looked around like a curious child in a new environment. Adrian told Charon carefully about the plan but Adrian had no confidence that the little undead understood him. Charon just cheerily saluted Adrian as if the little undead really understood.
Adrian only prayed that nothing goes wrong or if something does goes wrong then he just hopes it is not big trouble. Charon sunk down to the earth and his figure vanishing from sight. Adrian told Charon to tease the Fire Raptor that is at the closest to them.
Charon's head popped out from the ground in front of the infant fire raptor but the life eater is not attacked. Instead, the infant fire raptor just stared at Charon with curiosity like any newborn. Charon did funny faces towards the infant fire raptor but there is still no reaction.
Charon had no choice but to resort to violence so it hit the infant fire raptor with its lamp. The damage is pitiful however being only 1 damage. Though that one damage lighted up the violent instinct of the infant fire raptor. The infant fire raptor did a mix of a hiss and a gurgling sound towards Charon as if threatening the life eater to back down.
Charon did not bother with the hiss and slammed its lamp again towards the infant fire raptor. The infant fire raptor tried chomping Charon only for it to just shut its jaw. The infant fire raptor did not know why its bite did not connect but it did not stop trying to bite Charon only to always fail.
Adrian seeing the events could only be happy that the plan seems to be working except when he saw the other infant fire raptors group up. The four others also did what the one teased by Charon did and the little life eater looked like it is having fun. Charon is having so much fun that it did not heed Adrian's instruction to not go towards him.
Adrian could only lament that he did train Charon much in terms of the intellect department. He could only set up a bunch of spacemines across the area that the infant fire raptors cross and hope for the best result. The duo no longer bothered hiding themselves and the infant fire raptors also caught their attention.
The infant fire raptors no longer cared for Charon as they could not damage it. The infant fire raptors switched their aggression towards the duo. It is common behavior of children to switch their aggression to whoever is near despite not offending them in any way. The infant fire raptors charge towards the duo while screeching.
"Mudpit!" Levin Cloud chanted and the earth five meters in front of the two became muddy but it soon dried up before the infant fire raptors could be trapped.
"Chrono Lag!" Adrian casted his spell in an area which made the mana consumption five times more.
The charging infant fire raptors slowed down and Levin Cloud used another crowd control spell to at least root the five charging infant fire raptors in place.
"Bramble Field" Levin Cloud stated and thorny vines started to sprout from the ground.
The thorny vines coiled up on the infant fire raptors but the flaming head of the infant fire raptors lit the thorny vines on fire. Nevertheless, the thorny vines did their job and rooted the infant fire raptors in place. Adrian detonated all the spacemines in the place where the infant fire raptors are rooted in place.
Explosions sounded off and the infant fire raptors released cries of anguish as they did not know where the attack came from. The numerous spacemines triggered reduced the health of the infant fire raptors to fifty percent. Instead of attacking the duo though, the infant fire raptors started emitting a cry and Adrian could guess who they are calling.
Not long after, a loud roar and fast footsteps could be heard. A shadow of something fast charged towards the duo with an angry roar.
"I think we attracted the mother." Levin Cloud commented. Adrian could only look at him and raise his eyebrow.
HP: 3,000,000 / 3,000,000
MP: 3,000,000 / 3,000,000
The mother fire raptor is double the size of the infant and is actually ten feet tall. It is not farfetched to say that it is like a bootleg version of a fire drake. The mother fire raptor instantly responded to the cry of its young and charged towards the duo that it laid its eyes upon.
Adrian did not panic even though they are being attacked by a mini-boss like monster. He smiled as he can now summon Kanlaon as the cooldown is finally over. Two magic circles appeared which had two different insignias: a dragon insignia and a dove insignia.
Kanlaon and Saena came out of the magic circles respectively. Kanlaon charged towards the mother fire raptor while Sirius came out of Adrian's shadow to also attack the mother fire raptor. Saena would support everyone with her heals while Charon activated Soul Siphon and spread his shield equally to those tanking the damages.
Kanlaon did not fire off his breath but instead coiled around the mother fire raptor while the two best friends took care of the infant fire raptors. Sirius would bite at the legs of the mother raptor but he reported something to Adrian that made the latter's guard up. Sirius told Adrian that someone is observing them and it is a human female.
Adrian did not know why a woman would observe them unless she is a servant of the demigod blacksmith but that is only speculation. He did not want to let his guard down if ever the one observing them is an enemy. It is also possible that it is a player and she would kill steal from the group so Adrian remained vigilant.
"Just try and steal our kills. I will show you no mercy." Adrian thought while he charged towards the infant fire raptors.
