In a more secretive room in the arena, the creator of Pandemonium is currently looking at the screen and is a bit saddened that the players are not giving it their all. It might be a sound choice to use the revival mechanic to kill the sub bosses but that would mean the seal will finish before they even defeat one.

Chance of Losing for the contestants if they do not utilize their powerful skills: 81%, The super AI, Deus, reported.

When his super artificial intelligence, Deus, reported that, he could not believe it. Initially, the chance of them losing was only about 19% which is still acceptable, but it changed when Deus recalculated. The start of the event made the losing chance suddenly jump to 47%.

“Why did the losing chance of the contestants spike?” Mr. Atlas asked his super AI.

Individual named Adrian has collected enough data about his opponents. With each of the matches that he witnessed; he has been taking notes on his holoswatch. He would then devise a plan of attack against them. His victory rate would thereby increase exponentially but that is not always certain., The super AI, Deus, replied.

“I guess that is on me to want to recruit a battle junkie for the final boss. If only Eldritch were contactable then we would have another option. Tell them to release the Blessings of the Gods.” Mr. Atlas stated but he is still happy with his current decision.

Affirmative., Deus replied.

“Valiant warriors, we might have arrived late and our power weak but that does not mean that we will abandon you.” The voices of the gods echoed in the distance which made all the six soulbounds look at the heavens with disdain.

After the voice of the gods echoed all throughout the area, orbs of light with different colors suddenly started to appear. Orbs have five different colors that represented the type of blessing.

The Gods of Pandemonium has sent their blessings in the battlefield despite them having a weaker presence in this world.

The five colors of the orbs of light are red, blue, green, black, and white. Each has their own special capabilities that will greatly increase the chances of them defeating their enemies. Adrian thought that the white orbs were more numerous, and he could know why.

“I guess I did say that they are not using their skills as much. It would at least make it interesting.” Adrian thought but he did not expect that it would just be simple help.

The red orbs increase physical attack damage for a certain duration while also recovering stamina by a little bit. The blue orb increased the damage of the next spell that they cast while also recovering a small percentage of their mana. The green orb is simple as it heals 5% of their maximum health.

The black orb is able to take away one status ailment or status effect affecting them. The white orb is the one that they want the most as it decreases their cooldown reductions by 5% for every orb that they used. .𝒎

The moment the contestants learned of the effects of the orbs, they turned from wary individuals to ferocious predators. They have finally started using their precious skills as they know that can renew it for the last fight against the raid boss.

The first one to utilize the orbs would be Hou Yiwei, Frey, Pendragon, Blade and Apolaki. Hou Yiwei utilized the red and blue orbs the most as his attacks required both physical and spell damage. Kimat screamed as his body started to get pierced by more powerful arrow spells.

Frey is the one that is more adept in using the orbs as she can practically glide across the battlefield. With an ingenious use of the red, blue and white orbs, she can abuse her high damaging skills. Apolaki being in the same altar with her did not make the battle easy for Dodu. The Dark Ocean Slime could be seen growing little and little as its health gets reduced.

Charon is not faring as well either as the red orb utilized by the contestants facing it made him lose health rapidly. They were no longer afraid of using skills which is why they are now doing their best. Coupled with Merlin’s powerful buff spells, the physical damage that they did could decrease Charon’s health by 3% with just a basic attack.

“They are finally putting up a fight.” Adrian thought as his soulbounds are now below 50% health with the time being one hour.

“Saena, activate Sunburst.” Adrian commanded as the Sunburst Yatagarasu that is perched in the middle altar suddenly woke up.

Saena eyes’s then became filled with golden light. She emitted a scream and her whole body started to ignite until a miniature sun is summoned in the middle altar. The players thought that it was an attack, but they thought wrong as it is not just an attack.

The miniature sun then exploded as it could no longer contain its power and small sun flares suddenly scattered. The sun flares that fell towards the players did damage to them and even inflicted them with status ailments while their worst fears are realized.

The health that they reduced from the sub bosses suddenly filled back up to full. The players could only hang their mouths as this event is basically demeaning their efforts. The fact that they are not even given great healing orbs made it worse. The sub bosses also looked enraged when the three-legged crow suddenly burst into pure energy.

Your soulbound, Sunburst Yatagarasu, has used Sunburst and sacrificed its life.

Time remaining before its next rebirth: 2 hours.

In the VIP lounge, two individuals were laughing like a maniac as the faces of the contestants looked downcast. These two are none other than Marlon and Mina as they saw the infamous sly attitude of Adrian.

“Dear…did we do something wrong in raising our son?” Adrian’s mother asked her husband but the latter is just laughing dryly as he is afraid to even entertain that question.
