Chapter 1041
Chapter 1041
The fight with the other Quaint Snow Foxes has already been concluded. The number might not be as much as the Quaint Snow Rabbits, but they still numbered to be less than thirty. The exhaustion of fighting has been lessened because of Vortex but they still needed to kill off the weakened Quaint Snow Foxes.
Just as Adrian is wondering how Sirius is faring in getting the Variant of the Quaint Snow Fox, he receives a series of notifications that assured him that everything is fine.
[Sirius has successfully recruited the Quaint Snow Fox (Variant) to be part of his pack.]
[One of the two slots in Sirius' pack has been populated.]
[Sirius' stats increased by 5 points per stat.]
[The Quaint Snow Fox (Variant) level has decreased to Sirius' level]
[Please select a name for the Quaint Snow Fox (Variant).]
Adrian did not know that he also has to name the part of Sirius' pack, but he already found a good name for her. He chose the name Yuki as it also means snow in another language, and she is also a white fox. The level has also been changed because the Alpha must not be lower in level compared to the members of the pack.
"Let me check the skills that is available for her. Only three of the five are available." Adrian stated as he only saw five skill slots available. It seems the members of the pack are restricted as well.

"As expected, the tails of a fox monster are the source of its immense power." Adrian muttered as he looked at the obedient Yuki.
Yuki could be seen sitting behind near Sirius that emerged from the Shadow Realm. There is still immense fear written on her face, but she seems to be very obedient to Sirius. Sirius had this smiley look on his face as he wanted to be praised for the thing that he did. Adrian did so and patted Sirius' head which made him wag his tail.
"Did you make it your soulbound, Big Brother Equinox?" Soleil asked as Vayu also looked intrigued.
"Something close to that." Adrian stated as he explained the concept of the skill that Sirius has.
"Awesome!" Soleil stated as she patted Yuki, but the latter does not like the heat emanating from her.
"We should proceed as the High Ice Elemental is already pointing us near the location." Adrian stated as he could see that the beam of light that the guide produces can be seen getting close.
The group followed the beam of light after they healed up a bit from the fight earlier. Upon reaching a clearing, they can immediately tell that it is different. The beam of light that the High Ice Elemental produced has ended here. They wondered if there is a ruin in the location but all of it is just made covered in snow.
"It should be here, but we cannot see it. Is it buried in the snow?" Adrian muttered but something unexpected happened.
The High Ice Elemental that is under the control of Vayu and Soleil suddenly went rogue. The cute little snowman suddenly flew towards the location where the beam of light landed. The scariest fact is that Vayu and Soleil no longer poured their concentration on the High Ice Elemental.
[Vayu has lost control of the High Ice Elemental. Stats will return to normal.]
[Soleil has lost control of the High Ice Elemental. Stats will return to normal.]
The two notifications appeared all of a sudden and Adrian felt something terrible is about to happen. He could see the snow on the ground started to become thinner. The small snowman suddenly started to expand to a degree that they look like ants. Everyone immediately knew that this will be the opponent that they need to fight in order to live.
"This is messed up!" Adrian reacted as he immediately teleported everyone away as the first attack needed to be dodged.
Monster Name: Quaint Snowman (Anomaly Dungeon Boss)
Tier: Legendary
Level: 300
HP: 100% / 100%
MP: 100% / 100%
Description: A monster born from the fusion of elemental magic and the Great Frost Memory Crystal. It has been guiding those towards the hidden ruin of the Great Rider of the North, but it is actually the guardian of the ruin as well. It has become more powerful because of the presence of Ice Elemental Magic in its system.
Abilities: Winter' Wind, Avalanche, Snow Down
Adrian saw the abilities that the Anomaly Dungeon Boss could use which is quite new. It seems that his evil eye is also affected by the anomaly dungeon. The Quaint Snowman is definitely not something wonderful to look at as it is more snow monster than neighborhood snowman.
The Quaint Snowman is about ten meters tall with the Great Frost Memory Crystal embedded on top of its head. Its arms are also incredibly thick as a small house. One strike from those can mean death by blunt force.
[The Quaint Snowman is now preparing its attack called Winter's Wind.]
"That is new as well." Adrian muttered as attacks from monsters rarely notify the raiding team, but he soon found out why.
The surrounding wind started to become dry not because of heat but due to the Quaint Snowman sucking all the heat in the surroundings. A cold wind suddenly started to emanate from the body of the Quaint Snowman that blasted everyone in the surroundings.
The barrier that protected all of them suddenly shattered easily with one attack. The most frightening fact is that the attack called Winter's Wind did not even feel like an attack. They only felt a breeze pass through them but the barrier that covered almost half of their health got reduced to nothing.
"Grand Flame Tornado!" Soleil casted as she immediately chanted the spell the moment she could.
"Wind Splitter!" Vayu stated as he slashed the wind which created three wind blades that slashed at the large flame tornado.
The three wind blades separated the large flame tornado into three smaller ones that hit the large Quaint Snowman. The boss monster did not even flinch as its body got engulfed in flames, but its health did get reduced greatly. Parts of its body could be seen melting but the snow around it is regenerating the parts that become water.
The parts of the body that do become water is turned into snow in the end due to the low temperature. Vayu made his move and charged towards the Quaint Snowman. He managed to but off its arm with his powerful strike, but it just got absorbed back into its body to regrow. It seems that the Anomaly Boss Monster is once again immune to physical attacks as it was not hurt by Vayu's slash.
The members of the Mokesi Tribe could barely damage the boss monster so they are relegated to smaller tasks. The Mo Tribe will be the ones to kite the boss monster so that it will not focus on Vayu easily. The Ke Tribe members are in charge of defense as they shifted their weapons from flails to shields. The Si Tribe used their magic to create ice shields so that they can protect the others.
Adrian then immediately used Perfect Assimilation with Kimat and summoned his Primordial Armament: Axe. Among all of his Primordial Armaments, only the axe could carry great force that could blow away snow. His armor immediately changed to a heavy armor style while he looked like a demon tiger human hybrid.
Lightning could be seen crackling from Adrian's armor as he has gotten Kimat's affinity for the lightning element. The metal element is also present as Adrian's armor that should only be made of dark metal is now lined with silver which is the conductive metal that Kimat's Silver Thunder Armor has.
Adrian summoned Sirius, Kanlaon and Saena to assist him. Saena is now the most important healer in the team as their immunity to frostbite is no longer available. All the blessing that the High Ice Elemental has given them vanished as it became their greatest foe.
