BXBX NOVEL Chapter 160 - Does He Even Need Help?
Adrian was basically soloing the boss if you consider his soulbounds as his personal skills. Saena even left the tanks and started healing Sirius and Kanlaon due to them being hit by attacks of the Magma Titanoboa. Adrian did not want to use Sirius\' signature skill as there was still the dungeon boss that needs to be raided.
Adrian was also switching aggro with Kanlaon as they would confuse the Magma Titanoboa on who will it target first. This was very useful but Adrian would usually be the one to be attacked by the lunging skill of the Magma Titanoboa. The most important fact is that Adrian actually uses the attack of the Magma Titanoboa to attack itself thereby giving him more aggro.
The giant fire snake was basically mad at Adrian that it prioritized him for even if Kanlaon was fishing out the most damage. Just Adrian alone was whittling down its health by a lot. The other raid members could only gasp in amazement.
Even Mariposa had to agree that Adrian was like an unpolished version of Eldritch or Frey. Those two monsters could solo a boss by themselves that is why they are called monsters. Hou Yiwei is also called a monster but he was a monster in PVP rather than boss raids. The divine archer would probably snipe you to oblivion before you can even be in his line of sight.
Mariposa had to admit that Cersei\'s eyes could not be questioned. She always had this sixth sense to see people of talent. Unknown to Mariposa that a devil god was the one who told Cersei that Adrian was special. Anyways the raid members were once again stumped for a while before Mariposa shouted at them once again to continue attacking.
They unleashed all their low cooldown and medium cooldown skills because this was a mini-boss not the boss. The tanks though felt like they were punching bags as their taunts did not even work on the mini-boss. They felt powerless and useless to help the summoner that was in the front lines.
The occasional tail swing to tanks all made them lose half of their health. The healers would then patch them up as they too could only do that much. They could not even heal Adrian who was in the front line making them more ashamed of themselves. Adrian was moving faster than their healing could be cast on him.
Saena was the perfect healer for Adrian as his soulbound was as agile as he was. She was also containing a secret weapon but Adrian was saving that up for the boss that they would fight. The Netheros Bane that weakened the mini-boss was finally stacked to full which made the movements of the Magma Titanoboa more sluggish than before.
A wave of iridescent sword energy was then released from the giant sword Adrian was holding. Adrian even added Nether Energy on the attack which added black and gray streaks of light on the sword wave.
"Soul Searing Crescent Wave" Adrian muttered.
The sword wave travelled towards the Magma Titanoboa but it immediately used a skill. The scales on it became much shinier and it even glowed. Adrian recognize this as some type of hardening skill but this was not able to stop the sword wave from damaging the Magma Titanoboa.
The three colored sword wave passed through the Magma Titanoboa and it released a pained hiss unlike before. The unique property of this skill was that it deals damage to the soul of an enemy. If you do not have skills that could protect your soul or any magical defensive skill then it was basically unavoidable.
At some point, the sound produced by the Magma Titanoboa was hissing cries instead of threatening hisses. It was basically being bullied by this monster in human skin. The dragon was also bullying it to death because its breath attack was basically killing off its body parts. The alternating temperatures made parts of its body numb to the point that it can no longer regenerate it.
The Magma Titanoboa finally accepted its fate but it did not go down without a fight. Its clear eyes became red and it entered its berserk state. It thrashed wildly and attacked randomly that it headed its way towards the other members of the raid party.
The raid party members saw this and the tanks braced for impact. Mariposa even summoned another soulbound that looked like a giant beetle that had metallic plating\'s as a carapace. It was also huge that it had the size of a giant truck but it was still small compared to the Magma Titanoboa that boasted a huge size.
The metal beetle released a skill that summoned something like a barrier made of dozens of hexagons. The metal beetle also firmly planted its feet on the ground as if it was bracing for impact. The armored dragonfly and giant mantis switched heavily on the offensive as the mini-boss was just charging wildly.
The tanks also braced themselves for the impact as the charge was fast. The damage dealers was still spamming all they could in an attempt to weaken the advance of the Magma Titanoboa. Adrian though had to ride Sirius in order to catch up as he was thrown off balance from the body of the mini-boss.
The mini-boss had only 30% of its health left and it was still decreasing due to the damage of the skills that it was no longer evading. The Magma Titanoboa opened its giant mouth when it was nearing the raid group but Kanlaon swooped in and fired its breath at the opened mouth.
A series of explosions sounded and the charge of the Magma Titanoboa stopped its charge but the momentum it created did not. Its long body still crashed towards the barrier made by the metal beetle. The barrier cracked and then shattered like glass but the tanks were ready and casted their Rebound Skill simultaneously.
They managed to stop the attack from reaching the damage dealers but the tail of the Magma Titanoboa acted like a whip and damaged some of them. Fortunately, they did not die but they were out of commission for the moment due to the heavy damage they took. The healers focused their healing on the damage dealers that were injured.
Adrian finally reached the Magma Titanoboa that was squirming and twitching uncontrollably. Adrian finally activated the final skill of the sword Psyche Armament. While the Adrian was empowering the skill with soul essenses and nether energy, he ordered Sirius and Kanlaon to deal as much damage as they can so that Adrian could kill it with one skill.
Saena flew over to the injured in order to be useful while Sirius and Kanlaon used their skills at the Magma Titanoboa. As if oblivious to the pain, the Magma Titanoboa stood up and hissed loudly as if a last attempt to sound menacing. Its mouth was full of sores and injuries so it did look more horrifying than ever.
Adrian raised his sword up in the air and a giant sword materialized on top of the Magma Titanoboa\'s head. Unlike the previous time that Adrian used this skill, the giant sword look different. The sword was now covered with a tyrannical aura of black, gray and white light. Those that saw it was even affected by it as it released a suffocating pressure.
The healers even stopped their skills for a second because of the bone chilling aura. Even the Magma Titanoboa that went berserk was screaming as if it knows that death was nearby and coming to collect him. The Magma Titanoboa froze for a whole second when it felt this.
The Magma Titanoboa\'s red eyes became clear as it searched where that aura was coming from in an attempt to kill the caster before it killed itself. When it then saw Adrian, the Magma Titanoboa gathered all is ferocity and it dove its giant head towards Adrian\'s location. Adrian who saw this could only smirk at the action of the Magma Titanoboa.
The tip of the sword that was pointed at the sky was then suddenly pointed to the ground. Adrian then plunged the sword on the ground and the giant sword dangling on the head of the Magma Titanoboa also plunged downwards. Before the mouth of the Magma Titanoboa reached Adrian, the latter already completed the skill.
"Soul Avenger" Adrian stated with a smirk.
The giant sword finally pierced the body of the Magma Titanoboa and it even created a shockwave that knocked back everything in the area. The intense shockwave even reached the raid groups location as clouds of dust filled their vision.
When they regained vision, the person standing in that area where the Magma Titanoboa was none other than Adrian. His sword was dematerializing due to skill restriction and he was even covered in dust. Mariposa and the others was speechless of the skill that they just witnessed.
Mariposa described it as a Sword of Damocles that fell from the heavens and smited the Magma Titanoboa from existence. She was utterly speechless and even the others could only blankly stare at Adrian. Despite the other being higher leveled than him, they believed that even they stood no chance against him.
