Adrian looked at the two visitors that he has and was shocked because they were of a higher level than him. The young girl looked about eight or nine years old and was carrying a red stuffed toy lion with its main looking as if it was on fire. She was wearing a white dress that was styled in old century France. It had beautiful patterns that accentuate her brown hair and hazel eyes. She looked like a cute little fairy but what makes her pop out is the red hood that she was wearing.

“Does she like red riding hood that much that she styled herself just like her?” Adrian thought.

Adrian then looked at the other visitor and it was a man maybe just entered his thirties. The man was wearing a white kimono and topped it off with a blue kamishimo that had cloud designs on the lower part. The man had black hair and eyes with his hair in a ponytail style. He has a single edge bladed sword and a sheath. The sheath of the sword had cloud designs with a dragon coiled on it.

“He must be the little girl’s dad but seriously their outfits contrast a lot. One has an ancient European style while the other has the style of a Samurai.” Adrian thought to himself as he suddenly looked at his clothes and said, “Well my fashion choices are not any better.”

“Daddy you take care of the Field Boss while I take care of its underlings!” the little girl shouted as she was sure he could take care of the minions the Cursed Wraith summoned(a.k.a Adrian and Sirius).

“Ok my little sunshine go get them!” the man said.

Adrian once again looked at the little girl to clearly see her name as he only saw the level previously. .𝒎

Name: Soleil

Level: 71

Job Class: Pyromancer

The little girl named Soleil was a Pyromancer and was 19 levels higher than Adrian but he believed that he will not lose to this girl as Adrian believed that he has the status points of someone thirty levels above him. He once again looked at his stats.

Adrian even did the motion where he pretended to be blinded by his stats because it was high. Also he still had not use his Soul Essences and his Nether Gauge yet which is why his trump cards have not yet been used. Yet, Adrian was not too keen on the fact on engaging with a battle among fellow players as he does not want to PK them as they just misunderstood that he was a monster.

“The more pressing thing is that why can they see me in my Soul form. Normal human players would not be able to see us but how can they?” Adrian pondered.

“This is no time to be in thinking mode. I should just get away a little bit first since it is the Field Boss that they are after.” Adrian thought as he blinked away to his two soulbounds location and Sirius followed suit.

The little girl, Soleil, did not know what happened because the minions suddenly disappeared when she was chanting her spell. She tried randomly firing fireballs but did not get a reaction which means her targets were no longer in the area. She frowned and threw a little tantrum before going back to her dad that was engaging the Cursed Wraith.

Adrian reappeared on one of the cliffs as he told Kanlaon and Saena to get to higher ground as they had visitors and wanted to use surprise attacks if ever Adrian was in danger. Adrian and Sirius no longer in their soul form just observed the situation from afar. There he could see that the father was using a typical quick sword draw style of attacks. He looked at the name of the man as he was curious of how strong he was.

Name: Vayu

Level: 71

Job Class: Swiftblade

Vayu sheathed his sword as there was wind getting collected on the sheath when the sword was in it. He drew the sword in such a fast pace that even Adrian was not able to see the drawing motion. The attack then slashed the air itself and struck the Cursed Wraith. He even dealt a critical attack.

“No way! How is that possible?!” Adrian thought as he knows that physical attacks were ineffective against ghost type enemies. He also inspected the Cursed Wraith as he was in disbelief that it was damaged.

Monster: Cursed Wraith

Level: 65

HP: 184,730

/200,000

MP: 100,000

/100,000

Description: An undead creature said to be the embodiment of souls of the recently deceased and have come back because of unfinished business. It was put into torture once more as it became an undead by a mad magus and was cursed to never pass onto the afterlife even if it was killed. The vessel that holds its curse is buried in Cristobal Canyon.

Adrian also used his Evil eye to inspect the battle closer as Vayu tried to dodge the Cursed Wraith. He then realized why its attack was effective on the Cursed Wraith even if it was a ghost type undead. Adrian saw gusts of wind forming around Vayu as he continued to dodge the claw attacks of the undead. Upon closer inspection, the gusts of wind actually carried little critters that were about three inches tall. Adrian tried to identify them and he was able too.

Name: Lesser Wind Elemental

Description: New born wind spirits that are mischievous and sometimes play with humans when they are unaware. If the wind just happen to blow your skirt up or blow your laundry away, it might just be a Lesser Wind Elemental being playful. Elementals are beings that give the world order and sustains the elements of the world. If a natural disaster were to occur it was often said to be the cause of an elemental being angry.

This was the first time Adrian has seen a status card that had no level or health. Adrian was actually intrigued by this development. Elementals usually have another name and they were Nature Spirits so it would make sense that the two players he encountered that is loved by them could see him in his soul form. They might have obtain a skill to see the nature spirits or any other ghost like entity.

Back to the battle, Vayu was skillfully dodging the blows that the field boss was doing. He would then slash at the arms of the field boss whenever he had the chance. He whittled down the boss’ health points in this manner. He was gaining the upper hand when the Cursed Wraith screeched and he was suddenly bounded by chains. He could not even move his feet as he was rooted in place.

The Cursed Wraith was about to plunge its claws on Vayu when a sudden tornado made of flames hit it as it screamed with a blood curdling noise. The fire tornado manage to deal a good chunk of damage to the Cursed Wraith’s health points but it was not enough to incapacitate it as it flailed its hands and manage to hit Soleil. Soleil’s health decreased to half immediately since she was a mage class character as they are known to be glass cannons.

The chains that tangled up Vayu was still in effect and had no sign of being undone. Adrian who saw this could see that the Cursed Wraith’s mana was visibly draining which means those chains are probably a channeled skill that as long as it was in the vicinity, it could trap one opponent as long as it had mana. Adrian did not want to be rude and kill steal a boss since both of them needed it for something maybe a mission.

Adrian who observed the father-daughter duo could say that they are not pro-gamers and had just started the game. The father could be said to have some sword skills probably because he studied kendo or something but that would not be enough in this situation where the movement of the enemy is erratic and unknown. The little girl also was treating herself like a superhero declaring things like this and that not knowing that she must not attract the attention of the field boss.

“I cannot watch this anymore. I better go and help them.” Adrian said as he blinked closer to the Cursed Wraith and his soulbounds followed.

The Cursed Wraith was about to strike at Soleil and you could see tears forming on her eyes when the pale hands of the boss slowed down and an explosion suddenly formed at its head area. The Cursed Wraith suddenly turned towards Adrian who executed his skills ‘Chrono Lag’ and ‘Quantum Spacemine’. The Cursed Wraith was then given a face full of flame when it turned its head towards Adrian.
