"Hmm…Two attacks left but it seems that the barrier will not break even if I use the remaining two attacks on it. I just hope that my soulbounds could survive the onslaught of attacks from the players and soldiers combined." Adrian muttered but he suddenly thought of another way to use the remaining two attacks.
The players are having a difficult time with Adrian's soulbounds as they worked so in sync with one another. At first, they thought that killing the white bird will help them win but all attacks that are sent towards her would be invalidated.
When arrows would target her, she would be invulnerable against physical attacks. When a magic spell would hit her, she would then be taken inside the coffin or be blocked by the undead. The most irritating thing for them is the fact that an unknown chain that they could not break is attached to their body.
These chains also suck in their health but only in a slow pace. What irritates them is the fact that a lot of people are affected which means lots of health is sucked. To make matters worse, the health sapped from them is turned into a barrier that coats every soulbound.
The effect of the Limit Break: Summoner skill is ten minutes, but they felt like they have been battling for an eternity. None of their normal attacks or spells are putting significant damage on the soulbounds. They could now feel the frustration that the players that fought in the Pandelympics felt.
"Are they immortal or something?" One of the players grumbled as she already run out of mana but the damage that she dealt is not that great.
"The country representatives make it look so easy." Another player stated.
These players are actually under the illusion that they could defeat Adrian's soulbounds since they are no longer boosted. The sad reality is that the country representatives battled each soulbound in groups. Unlike in the Pandelympics, Adrian's soulbounds are working together creating a perfect synergy that he weaved together.
The AI of the soulbounds would remember the command patters of their masters. This is to make sure that they could operate even if they are far away from the summoner. This also means that they would become equivalent to field bosses if their summoner is great at commanding them.
The players are now seeing what a powerful summoner Adrian really is. One could even say that they are still being spared because Sirius and Kanlaon is not there. If his two most powerful soulbounds were there, then the players and the soldiers will not stand a chance.
"Maintain the Eternal Barrier while I investigate the prison. My slave has sent a signal that it is currently being attacked. The demon will not be able to move out or break it from the outside anyway." The royal mage stated as she passed a trinket to one of the subordinate mages and flew towards the prison. All they needed to do is pour mana on it to make sure that the Eternal Barrier will get fixed.
"Master, we will need assistance." Kimat stated via their soul link as numerous soldiers are now reaching the location of his soulbounds.
"Do not worry. Help is on the way." Adrian stated as he pointed his index finger downward.
All fifty spears that he could control suddenly pointed downwards instead of towards him. The mages maintaining the Eternal Barrier all looked down as well and noticed that the spears are aimed at those below.
"Take cover." One of the mages shouted using voice amplification magic.
"Take cover?" The people below heard the shout, but they did not know who is issuing the warning. It was only when one of them shouted the word again as he saw the incoming spears coming from above.

"TAKE COVER!" All of them shouted as fifty spears came crashing down on them.
Some managed to hide but some are not lucky enough. The scene of people getting turned into particles of light after being skewered by a spear haunted the vision of those that survived. Due to the sudden breathing room, Kimat roared as dark clouds suddenly covered the sky.
Lightning then struck the area around the soulbounds and damaged those that were not killed by the spear attack. Adrian then raised his hands once again as the fifty spears could be used for fifteen more seconds.
Since his soulbounds have more breathing space now, he looked at the mages protected by a barrier. His smile sent a chill down the spines of the mages protected by the last barrier created by the royal mage earlier.
"Do you think that the barrier will be able to block the attack of those spears?" One of the mages asked.
"Pray that it does." Another mage stated.
"I do not have a denomination though." Another mage added.
Adrian pointed at the mages and all fifty spears flew towards them at great speed. He even added the nether energy that he managed to recover to increase the power of the attacks. The terrified expressions of the mages could be seen as the fifty spears all came at them.
The mages are already using all their mana fortifying the Eternal Barrier since it would get dispelled without constant mana pumped into it. All their worries are for nothing though as the barrier that protected them did not get broken by the fifty spears.
The barrier did look like a porcupine as the spears breached the barrier but did not reach the mages. All the mages breathed a sigh of relief as they live to do magic another day. The spears vanished after the time duration is up and only one spear is left.

"Time to use the spear skills as I have collected enough Primordial Essence." Adrian muttered as he prepared to use the skills, but the loud roar of a dragon suddenly reverberated in the distance. A gigantic golden dragon came flying out of the ground with a three meter tall humanoid in its mouth.
