"Nether Domain"

When Adrian said those words, the surrounding temperature became very cold as if it was below zero. White mist the started enveloping the area and then gray smoke followed as if it would devour the mist but it did not. Adrian's core glowed brighter as it was exposed due to the huge V that his armor's style has. The flame that was burning on his horns was getting brighter that it formed a crown of fire on top of Adrian's head'

The aura around Adrian also change as he became even more powerful and he could feel it (It's over 9,000! LoL!). System notifications popped out in his vision to say that he has powered up.

[You have summoned a part of the Nether World unto the mortal realm.]

[Your stats would be doubled during the duration of the skill Nether Domain]

[The dungeon boss 'Asterion' has been afflicted by Paranoia. All his skill shots will be miss its targets by 50%.]

[The Astral Body of Asterion has been recalled due to it not being protected from the effects of Nether Domain.]

[The elementals are afraid of your domain and cannot use their power due to this.]

Adrian's body also exuded a sort of shadowy or smoky black aura that made him look as more demonic. Asterion even became slightly afraid but it was only for a second before he became feral. Asterion charged towards Adrian with even greater force as its body was coated by a red aura like it did before. Adrian combined the two blades once again and activated Geoforce to enlarge his double-edge sword.

Adrian's main worry was the astral body but due to him summoning the domain, he managed to expel it and return it back to Asterion. Adrian charged towards Asterion and he was shocked because he was twice as fast as he was before. He crashed towards Asterion instead of attacking him using his enlarged sword since he still has not adjusted to his current speed.

Adrian was expecting to get damaged by the crash but he manage to use his enlarged sword to absorb the blow. He was expecting to get knocked back but was surprised that it was Asterion who was knocked away.

[You have dealt 5,758 damage to the Distorted Labyrinth dungeon boss Asterion.]

Adrian was smiling because the damage he dealt was massive even if it was just a half-baked attack. Asterion got up and roared as it once again charged recklessly towards Adrian as if it was in a crazed state. Adrian used the Soul Searing Crescent Wave to hit Asterion and the latter just charged right through it eating the damage.

Adrian managed to deal 5% of Asterion's health points by himself in under three seconds. Soleil who was watching this was dumbfounded and amazed but also quite ashamed. She was getting carried by the kind big brother that they had just met. She could not be blamed as when she tried formulating skills the elementals would not listen to her because they were afraid of what big brother Equinox did.

Although the elementals could not be damaged by normal means since they are a force of nature themselves that did not mean they could not be deterred. Take the corrupted elementals for example as they could be seen as elementals that fell from grace since they now had a health bar. Soleil could only keep her father safe as the deep sleep status effect was still affecting him.

Adrian the started becoming more and more aggressive as he would charge towards Asterion. He would bombard him with slashing attacks that would always knock Asterion back by a few feet. Adrian then decided to finish it early as he ordered Sirius and Kanlaon to join the battle and just spam their skills on Asterion until he wears out or dies.

Adrian rammed towards Asterion and even manage to knock him down. When Asterion was knocked down, Adrian did not relent as he would continue the onslaught of attacks towards the dungeon boss. In about a few seconds, Asterion's roars turned into cries as he could not bear with the attacks that he was receiving.

Soleil who watched this was a bit scared but still amazed at what this awesome big brother was doing. She would have been just amazed if she did not see the grin that big brother Equinox had plastered on his face. She thought to herself, "Maybe big brother was destined to become a demon or something. If normal kids saw this they would think that big brother was the villain instead of being the hero."

Asterion's body that would be rarely seen cut became battered with bruises and sword cuts as he was even struggling to stand back up. Every time that Asterion would stand back up, Adrian would kick him in the chin to force him back down and he would due to Adrian's doubled strength. To make matters worse, Adrian would use his Nether Energy to empower his attacks because of a certain notification.

[You have unlimited Nether Energy when inside the Nether Domain.]

This was the real reason this skill was busted as Adrian empowered during the duration of the Nether Domain but there was also a backlash.

[Your body cannot handle using too much Nether Energy. You receive 20% health as damage every time you get a backlash.]

It would seem that the game still needed to balance him out as a precaution because if Adrian who had double stats and could empower himself by 100% then he would be unbeatable. There would probably a riot the next day at Atlas Inc.'s headquarters the next day. Adrian was ok with this as he has a reliable healer called Saena that could not heal 0.5% health points every second due to her "Breath of the Magpie" that is considered her basic attack.

In conclusion, Adrian was extremely broken when he summons the Nether Domain. He would probably get a penalty after the duration which is why he was using risky plays just to deal with Asterion. There was only three seconds left and Asterion still had 10% health points left. Adrian then used the third skill of his sword Psyche Armament 'Soul Avenger'.

A giant sword the same as the one Adrian is carrying materialized on top of Asterion and it plunged down towards his body. A mixture of blue, black and white lights flooded the area and blinded those inside the room.

[You have successfully defeated the dungeon boss of the Distorted Labyrinth "Asterion".]

Adrian panted as his stamina gauge dropped to danger levels and the Nether Domain disappeared when the giant sword came down. Vayu also woke up and saw the mess that was in front of him. Vayu asked his daughter on what happened and the words she spoke was, "Big Brother happened".

Sirius and Kanlaon could also be seen as incredibly fatigued and could no longer stand up due to continuous attacks that rapidly drains stamina. Sirius even used his 'Ragnarok' skill but it was somehow diffused by the amulet that Asterion was wearing which is why Asterion was not beaten faster.

[You have gained experience points.]

[Player Equinox has leveled up.]

[Party member Soleil has leveled up.]

[Party member Vayu has leveled up.]

[Sirius has leveled up]

[Kanlaon has leveled up.]

[Saena has leveled up.]

…..

Adrian leveled up three times due to the massive experience points he received as well as his soulbounds. Soleil and Vayu also successfully leveled up but only once. Adrian sealed Sirius and Kanlaon as they could no longer maintain standing as they pushed themselves too hard. A few seconds after defeating Asterion, an altar or shrine began to emerge beneath them.

The muscle floor sort of burst it out as if defeating Asterion was the pre-requisite to make it show itself. Adrian instructed the two to pick up the loot as he still has to finish his quest. There was still also twenty minutes left before shroud wears off so he was happy. He then examined the item located at the middle of the shrine or podium.

Item: Orb of Torture

Tier: Legendary

Function: An orb created using forbidden alchemy and parts of deceased dark gods. It can be used to trap spirits of any kind be it elemental, beast or human. A higher tier of the Orb of Torture can even seal demi-god entities for at least a whole day. The trapped individual would feel as if their soul is torn to pieces a thousand time a second.

The apparition of the wraith once again and told Adrian, "I am currently trapped in that orb. I managed to weaken it a bit but it can only be broken through external force. It might be difficult to escape from the inside but it is fragile on the outside which is why he kept it locked inside a shock resistant place."

Adrian was about to break the ball but he suddenly heard a creepy sounding voice from behind him.

"I did not know we were expecting guests."
