53 Summon Brother! (1/2)
Ken lost count of how many times he dodged out of the way of the giant club, claws and razor sharp wings of the three headed fiend.
(Princess, my damage output isn't doing much to this guy.) Ken growled as his health dropped below 33%. The enemy still had over 75% Health despite the two fighting for over half an hour.
[Blood-Frenzy has auto activated. Agility +5%]
The girl was busy twirling her staff as she danced. She split her focus on dancing both to cleanse the mist and to give Ken strength. ”I'm running low on stamina, Ken.”
With the agility boost the lynx was able to dodge blows a bit more effectively. (I'm sorry Princess, I don't think this will work out.)
Princess inhaled ”Jericho, I wish you were here to help. You would know what to do.” She was focused enough to not notice her MP slowly draining.
(Yeah, if Jericho was here, he might be able to help us turn the tables.) Ken agreed.
As if to answer their wishes Jericho, the water elemental, appeared in their surroundings. He assumed his human form. ”It looks like we are just in time to save the day! Come out Lux.” He directed with a playful glint in his eyes.
(Let's rescue this damsel in distress!) Lux proclaimed as he exited the pet space.
Princess chuckled.
(Jericho told me to say that!) He admitted quickly to princess.
”You're such a dork at the weirdest times.” She said to her brother with a grin before turning back to Lux. ”Nice dramatic entrance though.”
(Ah! We found Ken again! Don't worry Big Brother! I will help you defeat that monster and protect your beloved Princess.)
(You're embarrassing me.) Ken growled through his teeth.
The demon started laughing arrogantly. ”{(Bringer, not only did you advance, you spent all that effort to escape my grasp and yet you bring yourself directly to me. Join me, Life Transformation Bringer, and we can destroy your enemies.)}”
Glaw emerged from Jericho and joined the two felines in fighting. {Jericho, Assist or Fight. I think the five of us can handle him either way.}
The demon swung his oversized club at Princess.
Lux dashed over and pushed her away, taking the blow himself.
Seeing this scene, the bard joined in the demon's maniacal laughter as he pulled out his violin. ”Destroy my enemies? I like the sound of that.” He put the bow to the strings and annoyingly squawked the instrument, repeatedly. ”Let's start by removing you since you dared to attack my sister.” A humid bright fog emitted from Jericho.
[Elemental Fury has activated.] [Grudge Mist (Healing) has activated. You have targeted the demon Sklavoi. Allies he has harmed will have their natural health regeneration doubled until deactivated.]
[You have learned the ability Cacophony of Annoyance. 0/10 Master: Play an annoying series of noises with an instrument to hurt the ears of the listeners. This ability does not cause actual damage and is usually accidentally learned by novice musicians instead of purposefully created by master musicians. Use of this ability will draw the aggression of all nearby hostile and neutral monsters towards you. Adept Bonus: Weak willed creatures will try and cover their ears to avoid the painful sounds. Expert Bonus: Creatures that hear this ability may become stunned or dazed by this monstrosity. Master Bonus: Target creatures are immune to the effects, but it still sounds grating on the ears.]
The bard split himself into two. ”Ken, is there an ability I should focus on with music?”
The lynx gained a look of inspiration. {Focus on my ability, Bloodline Surge.}
The Demon was feeling the pain of the violin three fold because of his multiple heads. The Aggro Rules dominated his focus. He slashed his wing in the one Jericho's direction. ”{(You think you can best me with such petty tricks? If you will not join me willingly I will force you to submit to me!)}”
The bard jumped back with another loud, painful shrill from the instrument.
The other Jericho pulled out some panpipes and played a heroic melody while focusing on Ken's Bloodline Surge.
[You are under the effects of the Composition of Bloodline Surge. You will do your maximum damage as if you had all your hours available. As you are the only audience member with Bloodline Surge the ability will deal an additional +90% base damage.]
Ken waited as he knew the ability would gain a second more powerful boost as soon as Jericho finished the piece.
The violin wielding Jericho continued to dodge and take hits for about a minute before perishing.
[Half of you has been slain. You are now unable to merge back into a full elemental form. You are in a weakened state until you can restore your other half. You will not take the full death penalties unless all copies of you die.]
”So that's what happens.” Jericho muttered as he felt a heavy sense of loss. He finished playing the short piece.
Ken received the notification he had been waiting for. [Any attack used with Bloodline Surge will land a successful critical hit upon use. You must use within 3 seconds.]
The feline reverted to his human form in the first second. Drew his bow and shouted. ”OverDraw, Piercing Shot, Bloodline Surge!” He loosed his arrow on the last second.
[You have consumed all available time remaining on your transformation abilities. Reverting to Animal form.]
[Bow's durability has dropped because you used the OverDraw ability.]
A huge damage counter appeared above the fiend as piecing shot ignored some of the creature's defenses. [You have dealt a devastating blow.]

[Your party has slain the manifestation of the demon Sklavoi. You have gained 900 EXP.] [The Demon Sklavoi will not be able to return to the forest of Pren for another 167 hours and 59 minutes. Creatures corrupted by the mist during this time will shorten this timer.]
Ken walked over to the pile of items that dropped when the demon returned to the land he came from.
[Sklavoi's giant club (Tier 3) Level requirement 30… A mace made from an alloy of Copper, Zinc, and Dark Aasterite… Among demonic weapons this one would be more fragile if not for its enormous size and the use of Dark Aasterite as a coating… Due to its enormous size it would be difficult for a human to wield.]
[Demon Crystal (Tier 4 crafting material): Use to add the unholy trait to an item. Special abilities may show up on equipment made with this item.]
[Demonic wings (Glamour item): Equip this item to add it to the list of equipable appearances. You do not need to have wings to use the appearance. Note that NPCs may treat you with hostility while the glamour is active. These wings do not give the ability to fly as they are intended for appearance rather than practicality.]
