In the western folklore, dragons are not considered as holy beast but more like an incarnation of death and destruction that must be subjugated. In the eastern folklore however they are revered as holy beings that could give blessings and are protectors of nature. What do you think would happen when a holy being dealt damage to an undead that rejects the natural course of nature?
[Kanlaon has dealt 70, 126 catastrophic damage to the Cursed Wraith.]
The flame breath hit the Cursed Wraith and it wailed in pain as there was some scant amount of holy power in breath as Kanlaon is considered as an eastern type of dragon. Saena flew over to Soleil and immediately used its healing skill on her as she lost a lot of health but mainly because Adrian told her to do so. At first Saena protested that it does not want to heal unknown persons but Adrian managed to persuade it.

MP: 731,752/100,000
Although the Cursed Wraith was wailing in pain, it was still sealing Vayu using chains which is why Adrian does not expect support from either of them. Adrian used Soul Form Transformation again on Sirius so he could hit the Cursed Wraith. The Cursed Wraith then switched aggro to Kanlaon because it dealt tremendous damage to it.
The Cursed Wraith then summoned chains from its two hands and used them as a whip. It targeted Kanlaon who was preparing a breath attack. The left chains then hit Kanlaon’s cheek which diverted the flame breath elsewhere while Sirius who used Portal Assault popped next to the right arm of the Cursed Wraith and bit it. The Cursed Wraith who was supposed to do a follow-up attack was unable to because of Sirius’ bite. Adrian who was observing the situation finally intervened and summoned the Psyche Armament that he has yet to use.
“Summon Psyche Armament: Daggers” Adrian chanted.
Adrian’s demi-gauntlets disappeared in his hands and then a dagger one foot long materialized on each of his hands. It looked just like a dagger version of his Psyche Armament: Sword where the hilt was scale like in patterns and the cross guard had a green cats’ eye that moves as if surveying the surroundings. Adrian then used the first skill that the dagger had and immediate vanished from his location because he appeared at the backside of the Cursed Wraith.

Following his appearance at the back of the Cursed Wraith, Adrian immediately used the second skill oh the dagger Psyche Armament. The daggers then glowed a blue color and Adrian immediately pierced the back of the Cursed Wraith. It could only wail in anguish as it was dealt catastrophic damage once again.

Adrian dealt two times the damage of a critical strike which enraged the field boss even more because its health was now on the red region. Adrian who was still stuck at the back of the Cursed Wraith was smiling because his guess that his Psyche Armaments could target ghost entities. He would have been disappointed if it did not because what is the use of a Soul Summoner if he could not damage souls.
The Cursed Wraith then tried to shake Adrian off its back when Adrian stabbed again using his right hand. The Cursed Wraith wailed once again then a shockwave was produced from it thereby sending Adrian flying. Adrian unfurled his wings which shocked both Vayu and Soleil since based on their memory dragonkins do not look like what Adrian is right now.
The Cursed Wraith then summoned chains from below it and rooted itself to the ground using it. It then waved its hand towards Sirius’ direction and then chains suddenly tangled Sirius. Its hood then looked next to Adrian and from below him the same happened as chains sprouted from the ground. Adrian then used his remaining Blink to disappear from his location. When the Cursed Wraith saw Adrian vanished, he then chose his next target which was Kanlaon. It launched the chains on its arms towards Kanlaon who was preparing his breath attack.
Kanlaon managed to dodge the first chain attack by coiling his body to the left but it was caught by the second chain that the Cursed Wraith launched. The second chain coiled around Kanlaon’s body like a snake and even muffled its mouth that was still trying to launch an attack. Due to being unable to move, Kanlaon came down crashing towards the ground as the chains that bind him keep getting tighter and Adrian could see that all those bounded were getting continuous damage because of it.
Adrian who reappeared a few feet away tried coming closer but chains would sprout from the ground whenever he would move towards the Cursed Wraith. He had no choice but use the third skill of the dagger Psyche Armament although he does not completely understand how it works. Adrian initiated the skill and a system message popped.
[Please throw one dagger towards the target.]
Adrian thought it was a targeted skill but it was a skill shot. He then threw the dagger on his right hand towards the Cursed Wraith. It was easy to target due to it being rooted on the ground but it sprouted a chain wall before it to block the dagger. Adrian thought he failed and frowned because he just wasted a skill.
The Cursed Wraith then taught that its defense was successful because it did not tilt its body to avoid the dagger but that was a grave mistake as the dagger phased right through its chain wall. The dagger then struck the chest of the Cursed Wraith but it did not take damage. The Cursed Wraith thought that the attack was just an illusion because it did not take damage but then Adrian muttered some words.
“Soul Seeker” Adrian said.
Adrian then accelerated like lightning towards the Cursed Wraith and phased right through its chain wall and then pierced its chest using his remaining dagger. The place where he pierced was the same location where the ‘illusion’ dagger struck the Cursed Dagger. The Cursed Wraith did not even make a sound as its body was once again being sucked towards the ground.

Adrian who saw that notification was shocked because he did not know that the skill was that powerful. He once again checked the skill description so that he was not mistaken.

The skill was the definition of the perfect Assassin skill as it had a high execute health threshold and high damage if the target would not be executed. It was a perfect finisher skill as it was subtle and if the enemy was not aware and do not try to dodge the dagger then they would regret it dearly. Although the skill was only a single target skill and if the first dagger was dodge then you could only blame yourself but for a stationary target this skill was deadly.
When the Cursed Wraith was sucked back into the ground, the chains that strangled the others disappeared like it was just an illusion. Soleil who came while hugging both Saena and her stuffed toy then looked at Adrian with eyes of admiration and embarrassment. She was too embarrassed to speak so his father, Vayu, initiated the conversation.
“Thank you, Young man!” as he shook Adrian’s hand and continued speaking, “If not for you then both me and daughter might have been logged out of the game by now. She is just too embarrassed to say thanks to you because she mistook you for a monster.”
“Dad! Do not embarrass me in front of our savior.” The young girl said as she pouted and stomped the ground. She even hugged Saena and her stuffed toy tighter.
