Unknown Volcano Island;
In the hidden cave of the island, the spirit of Archangel Seraph was observing Wil, who was thrown into an illusionary realm.
"This boy has unique treasure and impressive achievements but he depends too much on skills."
With such thought in mind, he sealed his skills.
But what followed next didn't make him happy either…
"He now depends on his guardian beast? Maybe, it's because he is that King Athledon's ship? Let's see, what he will do against the next monster."
After watching the second battle, he frowned, "not bad but the majority of the work was done by his pet. It isn't acceptable." As a thought appeared in his head, he grinned, "let's see how well you fare in the next wave…"
Back to the Illusionary realm, Wil was currently in a dilemma to choose the skill so that he could evolve it.
After thinking for several minutes, he came to the decision.
*Ding! You chose Arrow Shower to evolve.
3, 2, 1 …
*Ding! Congratulations, Arrow Shower evolved to Meteor shower. Please check the details, later.
*Ding! The next wave is going to start in ten minutes. Please make your preparations.
Wil didn't waste any time and opened the skill panel.
Meteor Shower (Beginner): Shoot a magic energy Arrow into the sky and rain a shower of an unlimited number of meteors upon the enemies in an area with 100 meters of radius. Each meteor is 2m wide and has the attack power of 200% of your Max Attack. Cost: 5 mana per meteor. CD: 6 hours. Cast time: 1 second per meteor.
Additional Effect: After invoking the meteor shower, you can delay the timing of each meteor for a span of 30 minutes.
"Nice… the attack power is increased. Cooldown and the cost decreased and I can control the timing too. It will be useful in war."
He imagined him to be in the center of the battlefield, raining down the meteor showers onto the enemy.
Quickly, a notification turned all of his excitement into 180 degrees.
*Ding! The Quest changed.
Description: Archangel Seraph is feeling that you are depending too much on your battle companion. You have to prove that you have the strength to take on the enemies without any external support. You can resurrect as many times as you want and will be provided an infinite number of arrows.
Rewards: Unique skill or the skill evolution.
Bonus after clearing five waves: Unknown
Conditions to fail: Only when you give up the quest.
Progress: 2/5
*Ding! You have accepted the quest
*Ding! Pet space has been sealed.
*Ding! Inventory has been sealed.
Since it was a forced quest, it was automatically accepted. Wil saw there's an option in red that says give up.
The Lion disappears from the sky along with the legendary grade pets on the shore.
Wil thought the oceanic creatures summoned by Leon might have also disappeared.
Meanwhile, his inventory is also locked so that he cannot use the Warship or the recovery scrolls to recover his mana and HP.
This time, the old man was thorough with his preparations to make sure Wil understand what it means to be a successor of the demigod.
The only good thing is that he was allowed to use one skill. "Dash"
Dash: Increases movement and flying speed to 300% for 10 seconds. Cost: 0 MP. CD: 180 seconds
Ten minutes later;
*Ding! The third wave started.
Wil cautiously looked around. There was no monster in the ocean.
*Roar*
Right then, he heard a roar from behind.
He turned around.
"So, I need to face the Dragon princess, huh!" Looking at the temple, Wil realized who is going to be his opponent, this time. He wondered what beast he might face in the next wave if he clears this one.
Wil walked towards the stairs.
*Tap*
Just as he climbed the first step, another powerful roar erupted from the temple. But this time, it wasn't just a roar. Something else followed up.
*Boom*
The upper part of the temple was destroyed and Averil in her full transformation exited from her prison.
Averil
Race: Dragon
Status: Mutated
Grade: Legendary+
Level: 400
HP: 46.8 Billion
Looking at the adjusted HP of Averil, Wil cursed inside, "Damn… not only I was nerfed, but my enemy also got a boost. It looks like the old man wants to make things hard for me. F**k you… Seraph…"
*Roar*
Averil let out another powerful roar as it locked onto Wil before breathing flames towards him.
Wil quickly flapped his wings. He easily dodged the flames while flying into the sky.
Aiming his bow at the enemy, he pulled the string and shot a quick arrow towards the dragon.
The dragon tried to dodge it but by the time it stopped breathing fire and flap its wings, the arrow struck the inner side of the neck.
Usually, the dragon mode lets him befriend another dragon but now, that isn't the case. The dragon seemed angrier, looking at his new appearance.
It raised its head towards the sky by opening the mouth, absorbing the magic power from its surroundings.
Wil realized it was about to unleash a powerful skill since breathing normal fire didn't have such actions.
"Activate, Dragon's Roar"
*Ding! Please perform the action.
*Roar* Wil then roared at the top of his lungs.
The mighty dragon roar of Wil shook the ground as well as the ocean. If it was the material world, the oceanic beasts might have swum away from this person upon hearing such roar.
The Dragon's pupils dilated upon finding that this humanoid dragon's roar gives the same amount of intensity as herself. She felt a little bit threatened. That made her angrier.
*Ding! You activated Dragon's might. Your incoming damage decreases by 20% for 12 hours. Deactivates upon changing into Angel form.
"Even though my incoming damage is now decreased by 75%, I will still die the moment I received a hit. I guess I should be focused on only dodging…"
*Swoosh* Wil shot another arrow.
Unfortunately, this time, the Dragon who was full in rage countered his arrow with its fire. As the arrow was melted in its flame, it didn't stop and continued towards Wil.
He dodged the flames while flying upwards and equipped two arrows before shooting at the Dragon.
*Cling*
The Dragon swiped its claws at the arrows. Wil found they were broken into and fell onto the ground.
He felt pressured.
A certain memory suddenly triggered in his mind.
Meanwhile, the old who was watching the performance nodded with a smile, "this is how the battle should be."
