Chapter 1669 First Dungeon in Hell I
[You have entered the Hell Storm Paradise dungeon.]
[Recommended Level: 310]
[You do not get any debuffs from the dungeon because of the Crest of the Seven Original Sins engraved in your left hand.]
Adrian entered a dungeon all by himself as his other friends were busy with somethings. He needed to also deal with his priority now and that would be evolving Kimat. He now realized that all of his soulbounds getting to their third stage evolution would be incredibly terrifying for opponents.
"I was able to make a fight that was difficult into our favor because of the domains of my soulbounds. The fact that all of their domains mix well with each other is something that I did plan but I did not think it would be this powerful." Adrian stated.
Adrian already planned to get varying styles for each of his soulbounds. He planned it so that they can be almost independent of him even if he does not command them entirely. He also wanted a team that can complement one another through differences than a monotonous team composition.
"Maybe I should have brought Arsenal with me since he also has goods ideas for training soulbounds. He said that he wanted to explore on his own as he wanted a soulbound monster from Hell. It seems he wishes for something like a devil weapon or something." Adrian thought as he proceeded into the dungeon.
Arsenal would have been delighted with Adrian's offer, but he already had a destined plan. He actually met a Devil Beast Trainer NPC in Hell before the raid happened. He was taught that a certain devil monster species has the characteristics that he was looking for.
Adrian and Arsenal's location was at opposite ends of each other which is why the latter had to refuse. Adrian did not mind it as he only asked because he learns stuff from other summoners. Adrian might be one of the renowned summoners in Pandemonium but even he strives to learn from others.
He watches and learns from others in order to incorporate some aspects of their playstyle. Adrian learned the soulbound auxiliary playstyle from watching Arsenal. Arsenal tends to focus on his own movements that will be complemented by his soulbounds.
This playstyle involves the master to be more proactive than their soulbounds. The summoner is the main attacker while the soulbounds are the support. This is different from how Mariposa handles her soulbounds as she utilizes the Queen Strategy.
Mariposa would be the queen that is protected by her own soulbounds as she acts as the core. This entails that her soulbounds would need to protect her and fight more for her. This is also a valid playstyle when one wants to support their soulbounds from afar.
Adrian's thoughts were broken when the first monster from the dungeon finally appeared. He did not expect that it would take quite some time for him to get one monster from a dungeon to spawn. This was actually only a moderately powerful dungeon in Hell as there were already level 400 dungeons that were discovered here.
"What is that?" Adrian thought as he could not figure out what the monster is as it looked alive but also like a golem.
==
Monster Name: Hell Storm Moving Core
Monster Type: Living Plasma
Monster Level: 300
HP: 100% / 100%
MP: 100% / 100%
Description: A bundle of pure electric and wind energy that has formed a somewhat solid body. It was formed due to special electric and wind elements being tainted by the miasma released by the Dragon of Revelation. It is a being of energy hence physical attacks are not that effective against it. It is extremely attracted to bodies of great energy.
==
The Hell Storm Moving Core looked like a floating orb that generates lightning. It looked like that plasma globe thing if the electricity inside of it is shooting outside. The Hell Storm Moving Core suddenly spotted Adrian and it immediately rushed towards him.
"It is attracted to bodies of great energy." Adrian muttered as this means that he would be the optimum target for these monsters.
The Hell Storm Moving Core rushed towards Adrian as the electricity it generated creeped into the red walls of the cavern. It looked like a small thunderstorm was moving closer to him, but he did not panic because he has Kimat. Adrian already summoned Kimat, Wisteria, and Kenos as they would be the ones need leveling up.
Kimat seemed to have its eyes glow when it spotted the Hell Storm Moving Core. It looked at Adrian as if asking if the thing that was approaching them was a toy. Adrian could only laugh dryly as it seems that Kimat wanted a lot of pampering which Adrian has not yet given it.
"It is an enemy. Can you deal with it?" Adrian asked as he did not want to attack since he wanted to see if Kimat along with Wisteria can handle the Hell Storm Moving Core. Adrian did not rely on Kenos as it did not have any way of attacking.
"Leave it to me, master." Kimat replied as it charged towards the Hell Storm Moving Core.
The Hell Storm Moving Core sensed the pure lightning element inside of Kimat and increased its speed. It wanted to suck Kimat dry of its elemental power source as it has the same element as him. The Hell Storm Moving Core and Kimat clashed but the ending was not what Adrian imagined.
The Hell Storm Moving Core that was frightening to devils of the same level is now becoming a chew toy for the large KImat. The devils fear the Hell Storm Moving Core as most of the devils rely on physical strength more than magic. Magic is also available to them, but most devils do not have earth elemental magic since they have specific elements ever since they were born.
Kimat looked like a kitten very excitedly playing with its new ball of yarn. If the Hell Storm Moving Core had emotions, then it would have started begging Kimat to let it go. The lightning sparks that were coming out of the Hell Storm Moving Core are being eaten by Kimat himself.
"Given that Kimat has also grown to level 300 recently… this was slightly expected but I did not think that he could eat lightning that even comes from devil miasma tainted monsters." Adrian stated as he could see Kimat sucking the Hell Storm Moving Core dry of its energy.
The Hell Storm Moving Core suddenly lost its sparks and dropped on the ground with a thud. Kimat's ears suddenly drooped down as it nudged at the plasma core that lost its light. Kimat then looked at Adrian like a lost kitten that broke its new favorite toy.
[Your soulbound, Kimat, has absorbed lightning. Its own lightning element can no longer be refined further as its current body cannot do so.]
[Your soulbound, Kimat, has defeated the Hell Storm Moving Core. You have gained experience points.]
Adrian looked at the notifications and could only sigh as Kimat's lightning could no longer become stronger. This is the reason why his next evolution needs a Lodestone Hear and a Tempest Core. Adrian already asked for Piggy Bank about these two items but even the great merchant cannot find it with his network.
The Hell Storm Moving Core or rather the plasma core that made its entire body suddenly started to become liquid. A dark shard that is a stone of some kind suddenly entered Adrian's field of vision. It was a dropped item from the Hell Storm Moving Core.
[You have picked up a small piece of a Storm Core.]
==
Item Name: Piece of a Storm Core
Item Rank: Rare
Item Type: Miscellaneous / Crafting Material
Effect:
-? Gives small amount of static shock that can raise the hair of the one touching it.
-? Does no damage.
Description: A piece of the item called Storm Core that is a resource that generates powerful dark clouds. The Storm Core can be fused with another special item to create a more powerful and stable core that can bring the wrath of a tempest. Lightning type monsters love to eat pieces of the Storm Core as it gives them a boost of energy.
Pieces needed to get a complete Storm Core: 149 pieces left
==
Adrian read the description and shuddered as he thinks that he arrived at a clue in getting one of the items in Kimat's evolution requirement. It is stated that the Storm Core and another item fused can create a core that can bring the power of a tempest. If Adrian guessed correctly, this might lead him into getting the Tempest Core that he needs.
"New plan. We will clear all of the monsters in every level in this dungeon. Leave nothing behind because this might lead to your evolution, Kimat." Adrian stated as Kimat looked at Adrian with wonder filled eyes. The soulbound that was playful suddenly turned serious as it wanted to become stronger like its older siblings.
