"It should actually not be mad at us because we saved its life just now. Then again, I did come here to kill it." Adrian stated as he prepared for battle.
"Perfect Assimilation: Kimat"
"Greater Summon: Sirius"
"Greater Summon: Saena"
"Primordial Armament: Axe"
Adrian immediately went to work as he knows that the enemy monsters will not stay idle on the sands below. Vitae and Mortem will be safe on top of Kanlaon but that also means that they will have little interaction with the ground. He does not want to endanger them in environments that they have yet to fight on.
"Sirius, use Nether Rush and kill off any enemy that is low on health."
"Saena, apply all the poisons that you have gathered in your stomach against the monsters."
"Kanlaon, use Elemental Apocalypse."
[You have perfectly fused with your soulbound Kimat.]
[You have temporarily gained the skill Metallic Body.]
[You have temporarily gained the skill Silver Thunder Armor]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAdrian gave commands to his soulbounds as his body turned into a demon tiger hybrid. He found it a bit unlucky that he did not get the Metallic Copy skill as that would enable him to become two beings but the skills, he got has perfect synergy. He is basically the tank that the team needs but he is also a damage dealer.
"Use Silver Thunder Armor." Adrian stated as lightning suddenly came crackling from the sky and hit his body.
The lightning is then forged into steel that covered Adrian's body as his usual black armor is covered by a silver heavier armor. Adrian looked like a definite monster of epic proportions which made Mortem's eyes glow as he also like things like that. Adrian looked like a demon tiger general fighting against invading monsters.
Saena dispersed the poisons that brewed inside her body as she was commanded. The poisonous wind that she dispersed did not entirely affect the enemies as they have the power of the sun in their bodies. The poison did make them weaker but the solar energy in their body burned the potency of the poison.
Saena might have been discouraged by this as Adrian could see that she is trying her hardest to make sure that she becomes useful. Adrian noticed this in the fights that he summons Saena and he could also feel it in their soul link that she feels that she is becoming useless. Saena's wish for power resonated with Adrian which is why he is actively looking for a way for her to evolve.
Sirius did not waste the effort that Saena did by weakening the enemies as he immediately used Nether Rush. Sirius turned into Nether Mist and damaged all the enemies with his fangs and claws. It would have been easy, but the armor beetles are known for their tough defenses. Sun Beetles even have magical defense which makes them better than ordinary armored beetles.
A sort of solar aura is also radiating from Fauxpri that gives the Desert Sun Beetles a protective layer that makes them more difficult to kill. Sirius would even get hurt just because he would attack this barrier, but Vitae easily healed him back to full health as if it was nothing. Along with Saena's healing as well, the team could be said to be immortal at this point.
Mortem was told to not go down the sands as there might be other monsters lurking below that could suddenly pull him down. He would just use curses and sword energy waves using death energy to give cover fire to Sirius.
"It is time for me to go down then. Make sure that they are safe, Kanlaon." Adrian stated as he unfurled his wings and flew higher into the sky.
"Chrono Shift"
"Gravity Control"
"Earth Splitter"
Adrian used Chrono Shift to make his upward motion faster in order to gather momentum. He then cut it off by applying Gravity Control on himself to make sure that he gets pulled down by gravity at a rate of one hundred times. He then finished off his combo by using the Earth Splitter skill of the axe while consuming all Primordial Essence and Nether Energy in his attack.
He came crashing down at an unbelievable speed that he looked like a small meteor coming down. Fauxpri noticed this and tried burying away into the sand, but Sirius has locked it in its place using the shadows. Sirius also summoned Yuki to help him make sure that the Desert Sun Pharoah Beetle does not escape by freezing the sands despite it being hot.
The ice that Yuki created using foxfire is different as it absorbs heat which made the ice stronger, but it still melts easily. The radiated solar energy of the Desert Sun Pharoah Beetle made it difficult for the ice to maintain its shape but a small fragment of a second is all Adrian needs. With a powerful explosion, Adrian crashed onto the Desert Sun Pharoah Beetle and even broke its outer carapace.
Adrian's Silver Thunder Armor also disappeared as that is what cushioned his clash with Fauxpri. The Silver Thunder Armor exploded into pieces the moment Adrian made contact with Fauxpri as it could no longer take the explosive force that Adrian created by dive bombing the Desert Sun Pharoah Beetle.
[You have destroyed a part of the outer carapace of Fauxpri.]
[Fauxpri's defenses will be lowered by 10%.]
Fauxpri wailed in agony as 10% of its health is suddenly shaved off while its defenses suddenly weakened. Fauxpri tried to shake Adrian of its body, but the latter needed to pull his axe that is still stuck on the back of the Desert Sun Pharoah. Adrian looked up at the skies above and could see that all the dragon balls are done charging up the needed energy.
Adrian used all of his strength and willpower to pull out the axe and blinked away from the spot. He then tagged every Desert Sun Beetle for the Quantum Cascade spell before escaping the area. Sirius brought Yuki to the shadow realm while Saena flew up high to where Adrian appeared.
Adrian then used his remaining mana for Gravity Control as he attempted to lift all the monsters above the sand. He does not want them to suddenly burrow away but the strain on his face could be seen. Vitae and Mortem knew that Adrian was having difficulty which is why they made sure to help him.
"Gaea's Grace!"
"Abaddon's Glare!"
Vitae used Gaea's Grace which is a Mythical Tier Spell that only high-ranking members of the Church of the Twin Gods Life Order can use. A silhouette of the Goddess Gaea could be seen manifesting and then embracing Adrian and his soulbounds as they are blessed with buffs.
Mortem used Abaddon's Glare which is also a Mythical Tier Spell that only high-ranking members of the Church of the Twin Gods Death Order can use. A silhouette of the God Abaddon could be seen manifesting and then looking at the enemies below with his eyes that give off death itself.

"Kanlaon, use it now!" Adrian stated as he does not want to waste the debuffs given to the enemy monsters.
Adrian snapped his fingers and all the enemies suddenly clumped up into a ball while all six dragon balls dropped from the ground. All six dragon balls then rotated around the gathered enemy and bombarded them with all six elements. The catastrophic combination of all the elements created a powerful explosion that shook the desert itself.
Adrian could feel that they must not stay here for long because other gods or demigods should have noticed their presence. With Vitae and Mortem using Mythical Tier spells that summoned aspects of the Goddess Gaea and the God Abaddon, the gods, goddesses or demigods would have felt the divine energy signature that they give off.

"High Priestess! Look at that direction! A powerful explosion of energy and a torrent of divine energy could be felt from that location." One of the Golden Warriors stated.
"Everyone! Make sure that no avatar will pass through our temple without us even knowing or giving permission." The High Priestess Estet stated as she knew who created such powerful surges of energy.
