“The rock dragon has been infested by my pests so it will have lowered immunity for the time being so if you have any skills that could afflict status conditions then now would be the best time.” Mariposa whispered to Adrian.
When Adrian saw those words, he could not help but smile as this will definitely increase the chances of his plan being successful.
“Saena release the plague towards the Calcite Rock Dragon.” Adrian commanded via the soul link.
Before making the talismans, Adrian went to locations that had different status condition inducing environments. He would get himself afflicted by this status conditions and make Saena absorb them to store it in her body. Adrian thought that this would be useful to the boss monster of the raid.
Currently, Saena could store three different types of status conditions so Adrian afflicted himself with three different types of torture. Adrian had to go to a forest that had poisonous mushrooms and had to eat them raw. He was even throwing up different colored liquids and his face was turning purple before ordering Saena to take the poisoned status away from him.
The other status conditions that he gathered was deep sleep where he had to go to a place filled with dream lilies and sniff them continuously. The last status condition was weakening that cut your stats by 50%. Adrian went to a world that was full of tiki statues that could talk and get cursed at for a full hour.
Adrian definitely endured all of them because of his 50% resistance to status conditions that will nullify the status conditions from time to time. You could say that he went above and beyond just to acquire powerful status conditions to afflict a normal raid boss but thankfully he did as the boss was actually a dragon.
“Saena, afflict it with the poison first. Drop it at the wound so that it has a higher chance of afflicting it.” Adrian commanded.
Saena flew towards the wounded part of the rock dragon and spit a purple looking substance at the location. The purple liquid splattered on the rock dragon’s wound and it even sizzled a bit and showed something like a face full of anguish. The rock dragon felt something wrong and immediately roared and rubbed its right side towards a wall.
The rock dragon looked like its right side was itching so much that it even dunked its right side on lava.
[Your soulbound Saena has successfully afflicted the Calcite Rock Dragon with Category II Toxicity.]
[The Calcite Rock Dragon will lose 0.1% of its maximum health every thirty seconds. After every ten minutes, the health loss will be doubled until it reaches 5% maximum health loss per thirty seconds.]
If Adrian’s math was correct then after an hour, the rock dragon would lose about 1.6% of its maximum health if they survived or an hour. That is if they manage to survive that long as the banging of the rock dragon’s body on the wall would make stalactites fall and random lava being launched to them.
Monster: Calcite Rock Dragon
Health: (53% out of 100%)
The poison was doing its work and the rock dragon was also damaging itself bit by bit by attempting to scratch its poisoned body area. Adrian immediate used his Soul Seeker skill and shot his right dagger to the rock dragon. This was the perfect moment to mark the rock dragon as it was stationary and did not even bother deflecting the attacks that is aimed towards it.
The dagger successfully marked the head of the rock dragon but Adrian did not activate the second option of the skill yet. Adrian wanted to wait for the dragon to drop below 10% health before doing so that he could execute it and finish the raid. All Adrian had to do now was wait for that golden opportunity.
Mariposa saw what happened but squinted her eyes because she did not see the rock dragon take damage from Adrian’s attack.
“Saena release the Debilitating Curse on the Calcite Rock Dragon.” Adrian commanded.
Saena once again flew close to the rock dragon and released a dirty looking wind full of black smoke towards it.
[Your soulbound Saena has successfully afflicted the Calcite Rock Dragon with the Debilitating Curse.]
[The Calcite Rock Dragon’s skill Earth Dragon’s Might has reduced the weakening effect to 10%.]
Adrian was shocked by this and disappointed because the curse was greatly reduced from its original 50% to a puny 10%. He wanted to curse at this rock dragon’s tenacity but his eyes caught something disturbing. The rock dragon was actually shrinking in size when its health dropped to 50%.
All of the raid members suddenly felt something was off. Normally, a dungeon raid boss would go berserk at this point but this rock dragon was different. The rock dragon shrunk in size to about three meters and it was encased in something like a cocoon made of the white rocks its body was made of.
Adrian checked its health once more and was speechless.
Monster: Calcite Rock Dragon
Health: (50% out of 100%)
The rock dragon??s health was not decreasing. Mariposa saw it and was suddenly hit with a foreboding feeling. She felt that if they do not do something then a disaster will fall upon them. The status conditions were still affecting the rock dragon but its health was strangely not decreasing.
Suddenly when Adrian checked again….
Monster: Calcite Rock Dragon
Health: (50.1% out of 100%)
“Its health is regenerating! Hurry and yank it out from its cocoon!” Adrian shouted in panic.
Noticing Adrian’s panic all the others did not care about their well-being and started damaging the cocoon that even the healers fired off their damaging spells at it. Kanlaon would bash and fire its breath at the cocoon attempting to break it. They were all desperate to yank out the rock dragon from its healing cocoon.
If the rock dragon heals to full health then they would no longer have any chance to clear this raid. The health of the rock dragon was rising by the minute that it was encased so Adrian had to think fast. The only idea that popped into Adrian’s mind was to activate Soul Seeker in order to damage the rock dragon from the inside.
“I guess that I am left with no other choice! Soul Seeker!” Adrian shouted.
Adrian’s body became misty and he suddenly became like an apparition. He shot towards the inside of the cocoon and pierced something. He did not know what that something was but he was sure it was flesh. A pair of glowing green eyes then stared at Adrian maliciously.
The scary thing is that the glowing green eyes looked like human size eyes. It did not look gigantic and Adrian could feel breathing just in front of him. Before Adrian could use Blink, he was suddenly choked by a huge had. This had held his neck with ease and Adrian struggled to break free.
The other raid party members were doubtful if anything happened as it suddenly became quiet. A rumbling sound was then heard and the cocoon made of white rocks exploded. The fragments came flying to all directions prompting the defenseless ones to hide behind a tank.
When everyone regained their sight, they could not believe their eyes. Equinox, who they thought was monstrous, was actually being chocked by a buff looking man with green eyes and armor made of white rocks. Kanlaon and Sirius who saw their master struggling charged towards the man in white rocky armor. .𝘤𝘰𝑚
The onlookers thought that the buff looking man would get damaged by Kanlaon. To their surprise, the buff looking man punched Kanlaon’s face and the latter was actually sent flying towards a wall. Sirius who was charging next appeared behind the buff man using a portal and attempted to bite the buff man’s head off.
Sirius was about to succeed but the buff man immediately slammed Adrian with Sirius’ airborne body. The two were sent flying and crashes toward the ground. The two even left wakes on where they landed. The onlookers were dumbstruck but they knew that this was no ordinary buff looking man.
Adrian managed to open his eyes and sucked in a breath full of air. He coughed for a bit before looking upwards in the sky. There Adrian could see the buff man floating in the air and ignoring the laws of physics. Adrian though was thankful that the water barrier activated and negated the damage he took from crashing.
Adrian immediately drank a potion and cast Invigorate to heal his two soulbounds that were severely damaged. Adrian was definitely sure that it was not a man or an intruder that snuck inside the hidden dungeon because the name of this man was shining in a reddish gold color.
Monster: Calcite Rock Dragon (Awakened)

“Yup! That is not a Rock Drake.” Alder commented to make light of the situation.
“Shut up!” Mariposa and Cersei both exclaimed angrily.
