(Chapter 12: Let's go Clubbin')
It was a little over a week later after the fare for all of the school clubs had happened which had gone pretty well, with him having had a run in with the Swim Club leader Tamao about her wanting him to join and after much declining and her persisting after him, Adrian proceeded to get a little bit angry. So after joining the Martial Arts and Newspaper clubs as he planned he met back up with Tamao and told her that if she kept pestering him about joining that he would be having roasted tuna if she caught his drift, suffice to say the threat of getting incinerated made for a great deterrent.
It was also through this that he had been making sure that Moka and Kurumu be careful around Ginei who even with the nice guy/nearly cliche romantic vibes he gave off made Adrian get stranger danger vibes from the werewolf, hence why he was keeping a watchful eye on the werewolf for any shenanigans he may pull.
(Yokai Academy, 4:48 Pm, November 14th, 2016)
It was a Tuesday afternoon as Adrian was clad in a Slipknot t-shirt and grey sweatpants as he was waiting to spar with one of the club members.
'Well let's see what I get for being a nearly level 20 Martial Artist.' Adrian thought to himself as he opened up the tab for his Martial Artist class to see what new skills he gained
Resistance to Soul Manipulation (Legendary)
The true martial artist is the master of self, and allows none to manipulate his being without immense repercussions. Immunity to any outside soul manipulation unless you desire it. In fact, you now are notified of attempts to manipulate your soul and are given the option of retaliating with non-resistible immense damage.
Hell Stab (Level 1/100)
Concentrated physical energy envelopes the fingers of your hand and allow you to pierce through robust defences with ease. At higher levels, you can concentrate the energy into less fingers, pierce through even malleable objects and enemies that may otherwise distribute the force, send the energy out in a lancing fashion, create shockwaves by waving your hand, or pierce even the most invulnerable of defences. Maybe try using this with each hand-to-hand strike you send out?
Available Forms:
4 Finger Nukite
(STR x 2) + 1000 piercing damage, ignores conventional durability
SP Cost: 100
Full Cowling (Evolving Skill)
The first steps to becoming a true embodiment of a warrior's spirit, and maybe beyond that. Channel your physical energy throughout your body in an even fashion, raising your physical capabilities and granting you a "cloak" which can damage enemies or be manipulated into attacks.
At higher evolutions, this skill creates a skill tree of sorts which allows you to delve further into it and create your own techniques and skills, such as the Smashes of heroes from another universe.
Cloak type: intermixed shadowy lances which arc around your body, similar to lightning.
Cloak color: White.
This cloak may change based on the classes you take and the skills you favor!
EVOLVING SKILLS! Evolving skills are those which grow in strength similarly to those which can level up, but in a less technical and linear fashion. In fact, these skills evolve based on the work, ingenuity and training you put into them; simply put, they evolve based on how you use them and what unique techniques you develop using them. They are rare, and are typically skills from rare, unique or less used classes that have the potential to be very powerful!
Breath of Heaven
A blast of physical energy erupts from your core and heals you and all allies within 10 yards for 20% of your HP.
SP Cost: 800
'Holy shit, I can do a full cowling...Oh, I can't wait to test that out in the future.' Adrian thought to himself in excitement over all the implications that Full-Cowling would yield
"Hey, Taylor. Why don't you come up and show us some of what you got!" Haiji called out to Adrian who rose to his feet
"Alright. Well, would ya mind telling me who I'm gonna be squarin' up with?" Adrian questioned as Haiji gestured to a red-haired 2nd year student of above average height and steel-grey eyes
"You'll be against him and good luck." Haiji wished him as both Adrian and the 2nd year got into their fighting stances
With Adrian deciding to say fuck it and rush forward in using Bulk Up and delivered an elbow to his nose that nearly bloodied it before he decided to try his new Hell Stab technique, as he thrust his left hand into his opponent's chest. The result was the 2nd year student looking down to see Adrian's hand buried into his flesh up to the mid-knuckle, something that was enough to shock those watching and impress Haiji who was now watching in vested interest.
All the while his opponent was both surprised and a bit afraid at the fact that Adrian pierced through his flesh like it was hot butter, the pyromancer wasting no time in landing a punch to the throat that winded his stunned opponent. The redheaded 2nd year coughing and sputtering as he was assaulted by a barrage of punches to his face and upper chest that rained down onto him like machine-gun fire, as a collection of bruises began to quickly amass onto his body.
The 2nd year that had been assaulted by Adrian had managed to land a solid hit that had dazed the pyromancer enough for him to land a few heavy handed blows onto the pyromancer, yet Adrian had seen the uppercut coming his way and had used his Brace ability to endure the strike to stomach. Before deciding to land a critical hit against him in the form of a savage knee strike to his family jewels, which forced him to his knees as he cradled his nearly shattered nuts.
Which left him open for Adrian to quickly get behind him and put the 2nd year in a sleeper-hold, the battered redhead struggled briefly as he tried to get out of said hold to no avail with his eyes soon rolling in the back of his head and slumping forwards. With Adrian rising up as those who had attended were pretty surprised at how adept Adrian was in his 1st bout, considering that they knew he was skilled in manipulating flame and fire, but they didn't expect for him to be anywhere competent in hand to hand combat.
"Well, color me impressed. I didn't expect you to be that good, Taylor." Haiji commended Adrian in his victory
"Thanks. I gotta say that this was pretty fun all things considered. A lot more fun than being around Morioka if ya ask me. Perverted mutt can get a kick to the back of the head if ya ask me." Adrian replied getting a boisterous laugh from Haiji
(+13 Reputation to Haiji Miyamoto for impressing him and ripping on Gin. 13/100)
"Trust me you and nearly everyone after they've been around Ginei for an extended period of time, wish they could do so. Yours truly included, how they let him run the Newspaper Club is beyond me." Haiji said his light-hearted and jovial tone of voice colored by a disdain for the werewolf
"But barring any talk of that asshole. Where'd you learn to fight? Because I've never seen anyone use a technique with what you opened up with." Haiji questioned in being curious as to where Adrian learned how to fight
"Oh, that. Well, that's something I've been working on for a hot minute. Since I thought it would be cool to just impale things with just my fingers. On the subject of how I learned to fight, I just watched matches of people who are my favorite fights and shadowbox and take notes of what they do." Adrian said as the latter part was true considering that he was fascinated in how they fought and as such used his freetime to shadow box and copy their techniques
"Really. Tell me who are some of your favorites?" Haiji asked the Gamer as to who were some of his favorite all time fighters
"Let's see they would be Mike Tyson, Manny Pacquiao, George Foreman, David Tua, Shane del Rosario and Francis Ngannou." Adrian asked as to his utmost top favorite fighters
"Huh, nice selection. Especially that Francis Ngannou guy. I swear for a human he's a fucking beast." Haiji answered back with a smile still plastered on his face
"Anyways, its a pleasure to have ya on board. At the rate your going I can't wait to fight you someday. Because you seem like you'll be a real good fight, later on I just know it." Haiji added in seeing that Adrian would make for a great match in the near future
"Thanks. When we do, please don't hold anything back. Because I wanna see what you can actually do once we square up." Adrian said as one thing he did want in testing out his new abilities in close-quarters was for nothing to be held back from him
"I'll hold you too that, Taylor. Because I can't wait for the day when I can finally go all out on someone." Haiji said as from there they continued to watch and even dive into the various sparring matches for the next set of hours
(The next day later, November 15th, 2016, Adrian's Dorm-Room, 6:42 Pm)
It was the next evening later as Adrian impatient on the fact that he was so close at hand to getting his advanced class from being a Pyromancer and with nothing else to do since he finished all of his class work decided to say screw and use his XP bottles in order to gain said class.
"Screw waiting around any longer. I wanna get it and get it now." Adrian said as he expended 2 of the XP bottles he had in his inventory to reach Level 100 of his Pyromancer class
For reaching Level 100 of the Pyromancer class you gain the following skill.
Starfire

"Holy shit that's a fuck ton of damage, as the power of fucking lazor is mine!" Adrian said in unadulterated glee of the destructive might of his new Starfire spell
'Now that I've taken care of that. I can finally get my Advanced Class.' Adrian thought to himself as he pulled up all of the advanced classes available to him and selected the one he'd been aiming for
Advanced Classes Unlocked, select one of the following.
(Volcanic Lord, Dracomancer, Phoenix Mage)

So very happy with what he gained from his newfound Volcanic Lord class and decided to take it out for a test run and decided to test out some of what his new abilities could do and as such decided to test them out in the 2nd layer of the Celestial Dungeon. With Adrian being transported to the Dungeon's 2nd layer which once more made him feel almost guilty that by the time he was done, that the place was gonna be a fiery hellscape of death and destruction.
The area taking the form a vastly spacious meadow with grassy fields as far as the eye could see with towering maple trees and architecture of marble and pale gold that despite having been worn and cracked away by time were still wonderful to look at. The sky being teal colored with heavy-set clouds of pearl white and silver, while the sun was of a cross between ruby and pale magenta that gave the place a rather ethereal feel to it.
But rather than stay to enjoy and take in the scenery he ventured forth to do what he came to do and find test subjects for his new class, with him feeling in such good spirits as he wondered throughout the new layer of the dungeon. With him eventually finding luck as he soon came across a gathering of Lightsworn monsters unsuspecting of his presence which made it perfect for him to cast Molten Mire on them, as he watched the ground around them soon crack apart and burn before turning into a swamp of molten rock and fire that begun to greedily swallow the Lightsworn caught in it.
With Adrian watching, impressed as his spell drug all of those monsters into its depths like quicksand, their screams echoing and quickly disappearing as their flesh melted and bubbled off their bones, filling their air with the horrid smell of melting flesh. It wasn't even a half of a minute as the Lightsworn caught inside the Molten Mire spell were reduced to nothingness, to the point that not even their bones remained as Adrian snapped his fingers to dissipate the spell only to see a heavily burnt patch of land where his spell was.
'Well, looks like Molten Mire is damn well super effective for crowd control.' Adrian thought to himself as he took out a notepad and checked Molten Mire as a very effective spell
Once he checked off that from his list he proceeded to activate his cloaking device he had attached to his waist and in a haze of emerald colored light disappeared from all conceivable sight, as he traveled off in search of more targets. With him having found another group of targets in the form of Constellar and Lightsworn monsters patrolling an area together, he used this as a chance to fire off an Obsidian Missile at the group that impaled itself into the chest of an unsuspecting Lightsworn monster who looked at her chest in fright and shock.
All before said projectile exploded in a mass of razor-like shards of searing hot volcanic glass that shredded and burned at the monsters unlucky to be in radius of the shrapnel that tore into them, with Adrian taking a large amount of joy in the chaos and confusion decided to fire off two more Obsidian Missiles off at those trying to recover from behind a group of maple trees. The pyromancer from his position a couple dozen feet away watched in joy as they were reduced to a bloody pulp, with him grinning like a mad man as he continued onwards into the dungeon in spiraling outwards as an incendiary mass of destruction.
Between his fire spells and newfound power over magma he was able to tear a fucking swath of destruction throughout the dungeon, able to hide and quickly unleash bursts of mass destruction with his fire-based spells before disappearing again. With him also making use of his Martial Artist class to quickly come in and strike down the monsters he would ambush, with his Molten Mire spell allowing him to trap the monsters in the swamp of molten rock before spamming Hell Stab to execute one of them via spearing his hand through their skulls while they screamed bloody murder.
Adrian found himself having a great old time as he rampaged his way throughout the dungeon, soon turning everything into ash and cinder and pillars of smoke that filled the air with the putrid smell of burning flesh melting off the bone. With him going in each direction of his starting point in wanting all 4 directions of where he started in a half mile-radius to share in the "joy" he had from torching everything into absolute nothingness.
"Well, on the good side of things. I've gotten Volcanic Lord to Level 8 and Martial Artist to Level 20, so huzzah for me!" Adrian cheered to himself
"Now then time to go for a mini-boss around here. But just to be on the safe side, I think I'll call in some help." Adrian said to himself as he summoned forth Samurai Warrior
With that in mind he hopped onto the shoulder of the 16 foot tall robotic warrior and had it go forwards in search of the mini-boss, with Adrian helping out along the way as Samurai Destroyer used its massive odachi to cleave and bisect any monster in its path while Adrian used his flamethrower spell to scorch whatever came in sight. The pyromancer during the mechanized Samurai's march towards the mini-boss decided that he might as well enjoy the ride there, as such he put on his headphones and put on Fear Factory and Slipknot.
The march continued until Adrian had to command Samurai Destroyer to leap out of the way from a blast of radiant energy that came barreling towards them, the pyromancer looking up at the culprit to see none other than Judgement Dragon. The great beast was glaring daggers at Adrian who just sat upon the shoulder of
Samurai Destroyer without a care in the world, with him lazily taking off his headphones over hearing the roars of the enraged dragon.
"Alright, what the fuck do you want?" Adrian asked as he had hit pause on Soul Hacker by Fear Factory
"How dare you ignore me, after everything you've done to my kind!" Judgement Dragon roared while Adrian looked more or less apathetic
"Don't any of you got anything...I don't know interesting to say? I mean you could mix it up and say something dope, before me and my mech friend here just annihilate the ever-living shit out of you." Adrian replied as either way he was still gonna kill the dragon
"Today judgement will be passed onto you, you wretched devil." Judgement Dragon snarled while Adrian rolled his eyes
"Whatever." Adrian replied as he used Observe on Judgement Dragon
Judgement Dragon
Rank: Elite
Level: 123
HP: 168,600/168,600
MP: 66,000/66,000
SP: 70,000/70,000
STR: 210
DEX: 129
CON: 168
INT: 58
WIS: 120
CHA: 138
LUC: 104
Description: Formerly known as Gragonith the Lightsworn Dragon. This dragon had trained until it had become the strongest of the Lightsworn. It now stands as a guardian of its kind, it seeks to destroy you for butchering its kind. Yet should it die in its final moments with hatred in its heart it will be made into a creature of punishment and vengeance.
"Any final words to say, before Judgement is passed onto you?!" Judgement Dragon demanded its maw gathering up more radiant energy
"Well, I have this." Adrian rebutted as he cast Scorching Ray with both hands aimed at Judgement Dragon's mouth
Judgement Dragon fired off another stream of radiant energy at Adrian which clashed against the barrage of rays made searing flame, both attacks exploding against one another in a raucous explosion of fire and golden radiance. Not even moments after the explosion did Samurai Destroyer come leaping from the smoke and ramming its massive odachi into its right flank, causing gouts of blood to burst into the open as it ripped it's blade free and went to stab at the dragon once more.
Which was the perfect opportunity for Adrian to use Misty Step and go onto its right wing and slide down the feathery appendage and thrusting both his hands he cast Flamethrower at the left wing of the dragon, Judgement Dragon soon roared in great pain as it felt both the mechanized samurai and the pyromancer tearing into it. Deciding to rid itself of this problem it leveraged all of the strength it had in thrashing and flying through the air to get the two off, succeeding in the endeavor as both of them fell dozens of feet in the air while a raging Judgement Dragon glared daggers at them.
Fortunately for the pyromancer he didn't fall to his death as, Samurai Destroyer shifted its cannon arm into a regular one and used it to catch Adrian in their free fall, the mechanized samurai tumbling and rolling across the field. With Adrian being grateful that he had the mechanized samurai to help protect him as he saw Judgement Dragon struggling greatly to stay aloft with its left wing being heavily scorched and still burning, as it began to gradually descend.
The pyromancer then ordering Samurai Destroyer to close the distance against the rapidly descending dragon, which it did so and once it was within 30 feet of the still descending dragon it jumped up and with a single swipe of its Odachi slashed the dragon's wing clean off along with cutting a deep gash into its side. Judgement Dragon soon fell to the ground in a bleeding heap; its hide stained a reddish gold from the wound dealt to it, all the while Adrian had a smug grin on his face at the pained look on the dragon's face who grew even more enraged at seeing Adrian's expression.
"You think this is funny?!" Judgement Dragon demanded
"Funny, not really. Highly amusing, oh you bet your sorry ass it is " Adrian retorted as his hands glowed with arcane energy
"I'll tear you limb from limb and see to it that your judgement is death!" Judgement Dragon growled and roared in anger
"You can try but, I think you'll be busy with something else." Adrian spoke as he cast Molten Mire on Judgement Dragon
With Adrian being glad that he had Samurai Destroyer back away during their short exchange and during Judgement Dragon's descent due to the wide range of Molten Mire, all the while Judgement Dragon was struggling to get out of the swamp of volcanic rock that tried to drag it down to the depths below. The heavenly beast despite the constant pain it was in from the magma that melted away at its flesh, used its remaining wing and with every ounce strength it could muster it freed itself from the swamp of molten rock at the expense of its sole remaining wing being eaten away by the magma.
Despite the heavy amounts of damage it sustained from large sections of its flesh being devoured by the swamp of molten rock and fire it charged onwards towards them as it unleashed another beam of golden radiance at Adrian and Samurai Destroyer. With Adrian having used Misty Step to get the hell out of dodge while Samurai Destroyer tried to use its Odachi to deflect the stream of radiant energy which managed to briefly work as it held off the attack for a decent amount of time, before it was soon overpowered.
With Judgement Dragon despite it's weakened state charging forward and tackling Samurai Destroyer to the ground who once knocked onto the ground was soon being mauled by the greatly wounded beast, the mechanized Samurai's armor being shredded under the assault. Yet this was enough time to allow Adrian to go invisible thanks to his cloaking device and cast Delayed Blast Fireball, allowing for it to build up power while Samurai Destroyer had managed to knock off Judgement Dragon although at the cost of sustaining a moderate amount of damage.
Despite Samurai Destroyer being able to fend off Judgement Dragon with its odachi to surprising effect and skill, it was inevitably no match as Judgement Dragon's own might was enough to soon overwhelm it forcing Adrian to have his robotic monster retreat. Judgement Dragon seeing its target dissipate into emerald energy soon looked about in seeing where Adrian had went, yet the dragon was so caught up in its own bloodlust and fury that it didn't see the bead of golden arcane force on top of its head.
'Gotcha bitch.' Adrian thought to himself as he let the fireball explode into a compressed mass of emerald and golden arcane fire
"Again, Delayed Blast Fireball, super effective as a sneak attack. Even if it does take a fuck ton of my mana to maintain." Adrian said to himself in seeing that despite the explosion's 20 foot radius that it was enough to kill it if the massive gaping hole where skull and the majority of it chest cavity was were evidence in any capacity
For defeating Judgement Dragon you gain the following rewards.
Heavenly Sentinel's Katars
Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon (Level 9) Added to Summon Dragons
Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon (Level 8) Added to Summon Dragons
"Well that's pretty dope and I finally have a weapon I can use in tandem with Martial Artist. Oh, mental note, use that and White Mage so that I can finally hit up the Demon Dungeon." Adrian said to himself in now having a fitting weapon to go with his Martial Artist class that he could use in tandem with his White Mage class
"Now, I might as well head back home. Considering that this was a good day to test out everything I needed to do." Adrian said in being very content with everything as his Volcanic Lord class had gotten to Level 11 and a fifth of the way to 12 thanks to Judgement Dragon's demise
(2 days later, November 17th, 2016, Yokai Academy, 3:45 Pm)
It was around 2 days later as Adrian was currently helping Kurumu and Moka hang up a few things for the Newspaper club
'Well, looks like my chance to win brownie points is finally here.' Gin internally plotted to himself with a grin as he saw Adrian in an ideal spot to make this work
"I can't believe you'd look up Moka and Kurumu's skirts, Adrian! Don't you have any shame!" Gin exclaimed as the pyromancer glared daggers at the werewolf
'This fucker can't be serious.' Adrian thought to himself while Moka hopped down with Kurumu
"I mean I don't mind if you do. If you wanted a peek, all you had to do was just ask." Kurumu told him because if Adrian wanted to see the goods that badly all he had to do was say so
"Alright, I didn't do shit! That fucker was looking up your skirts the whole time." Adrian retorted as his eyes glowed a lime green which had Moka intercede
"Adrian! Please don't!" Moka exclaimed in not wanting Adrian's rage to cause an inferno
"Really? Moka you're protecting this great big bag of dicks?!" Adrian questioned as he wanted to shove a fireball down Gin's throat
"Hey, it's not my fault that they'd believe they're handsome senior over you. I mean why would they, believe a pervert whose control over his temper is as small as his dick." Gin retorted causing Adrian's eyes to glow brighter and his hands to start smoking
"Which is why I think its time these two lovely ladies came with me and away from you. Since you'd probably steal their panties the first chance you got." Gin added as he went to reach for Moka's hand with his trademark nice guy smile clear across his face
"I'm not going with you at all." Moka said as she smacked Ginei's hand away
"Neither am I, besides why would he look up Moka's skirt when he has me all too himself." Kurumu boasted which made Moka pinch the bridge of her nose
"Besides, Kurumu's overinflated sense of herself. I know that Adrian wouldn't do that to me at all. Because we're friends and if he says he didn't do it, then I trust him." Moka spoke in having full faith in Adrian's words that he didn't look up her skirt
"Also. Let's say he did do any of that to us. Where's your proof that he did look up our skirts? Surely if you wanted to accuse Adrian of doing such a thing you'd have some form of photographic evidence to back up your words." Moka pointed out at the fact that if Adrian really did do so then he would have evidence to back up
"Well, for one. Thank you for believing my word Moka. Secondly, I'm pretty sure those cameras over there saw the whole thing." Adrian said as he pointed to one of his Mark II Surveillance drones that had shifted themselves into looking like a security camera
"Ha! You see that's evidence right there that he's a pervert." Gin spoke before Adrian raised his hand and pulled out his phone
"You say that. However, seeing as how I'm one of the smartest people in the academy. If not the smartest and because I like to do some programming and tinkering in my spare time. I've managed to hack into the camera's video footage, which will prove that I'm not the one who looked up your skirts. When in reality, it was this dipshit. Among a few other things the bastard's been doing." Adrian replied as he pulled up the video feeds of all of his drones
That out of the way he proceeded to show that it was Gin who was looking up their skirts with a obvious hard-on and lewd expression on his face, but considering how he tried to pin Adrian for the crime and get him labeled as a pervert, the pyromancer decided to go the extra mile. Therefore he played back about 2 weeks worth of footage of Gin's perverse antics all over campus, from peeping the girl's locker room to using his great speed to do panty raids in many of the girl's dorm rooms and other such antics.
Once both Moka and Kurumu looked up from the irrefutable proof, they proceeded to glare daggers at Gin who from the faces of the vampire and succubus saw his goose was cooked and was promptly given twin slaps on the face by both of them before they walked off elsewhere.
"Well, it looks like your little bullshit plan is a bust. I just wanna ask? Did you really, really think that pulling something like that was gonna work as I've had their trust in me for a hot minute. Meanwhile, what the fuck have you done besides give them a boquet of flowers, like its a 90's rom-com." Adrian questioned considering that Gin's plan wasn't gonna work when he had both girls' full trust in him since the near start of the school year
"Then why did you show them, whatever was on your fucking phone?" Gin said as he tried to reach for Adrian's phone which the pyromancer had disappear into his inventory
"Because, you made the stupid move of trying to make me look bad. Something that I won't have done to me in any way, shape or form. For those two are mine, do you fucking understand me Morioka. They are mine, no one else's and I won't let your antics take or turn them away from me." Adrian responded his voice colored by possessiveness over both Kurumu and Moka as his
"So I'm gonna say this one time and one time only. That the next time you try to fuck with me. I will fucking ruin you, and show the academy that your no wolf at all. That instead all you are is a perverse flea-ridden mutt." Adrian warned as he walked away from Gin who glared at him
'You think this is over Taylor? Because, I'll show you that I'm the Alpha around here and that Moka's gonna be my bitch.' Gin thought to himself as his teeth briefly turned to sharpened fangs and his eyes a dark predatory gold
(6 hours later, Adrian's Dorm-Room, 9:57 Pm)
It was 6 hours later as Adrian was messing around with some of his machines as he decided to say fuck it and working on the blueprints for some attack drones, in knowing that if Gin was gonna start shit that it would be best if he came prepared.
"Well, thank you Star Wars for being a great reference point." Adrian spoke as he had been working hard on drawing up attack drones
"Now then let's get ready for this Demon Dungeon, but first time for a change." Adrian said as he selected the White Mage class and replaced it with his Volcanic Lord class

"Well, its better than nothing. Besides, at least I finally have a healing spell." Adrian said to himself before sending himself into the Demon Dungeon
Soon enough Adrian found himself being transported into said dungeon which was in sharp contrast to the Celestial Dungeon, something that the pyromancer appreciated, as it was beginning to get boring in looking at the same almost paradise-like area. With the sky being a dark royal violet while clouds of crimson red spiraled overhead while peeking through the clouds were deathly pale sapphire colored stars that made it feel like an acid trip overall.
With the area in front of and around him were numerous rocky crags and canyons that dotted the area made of magenta, forest green and navy colored bedrock, while spires of pure obsidian with crooked branches stood forth like warped perversions of pine trees.
"I will say this, this definitely looks like a 80's metal album." Adrian spoke as he looked into his inventory and decided to equip his Heavenly Skirmisher's Katars
"Let's see what y'all can do, besides looking dope of course." Adrian said as he looked over his newly equipped punching daggers
Heavenly Sentinel's Katars

The punching daggers took the form of armored gauntlets that stopped at the middle of his forearm, they were made of whitish-gold metal with bright azure colored runes that formed into a pattern reminiscent of circuitry all across the katars. With Adrian focusing for a brief bit as foot and a quarter long double-edged blades burst forth from the knuckles the color of quicksilver that had two small 6-inch long blades that curved inward made for binding an opposing weapon that glowed with a bright yet faint sapphire radiance.
So after he finished giving his new punching daggers their once-over he soon dashed into the dungeon that lay ahead, eager to put his new skills as a white mage to the test on top of further practicing his Martial Artist skills. Something that didn't take long as he eventually found a pack of Hellhounds running throughout the dungeon and with a predatory grin on his face activated the Cloaking Device on his waist and rushed over like a 10-year-old on a sugar high.
With his stride breaking the moment he got within range and unleashed Sacred Light sending out a flash of emerald light that made the infernal beasts how in pain as it seared at the flesh, with Adrian closing the distance and firing off 2 Arrows of Light that even from 40 feet away impaled and tore through the hellhounds like hot butter. Once he got within range of his blinded quarry who were mostly dead after another Sacred Light being casted, he went to bloody work on tearing them to shreds with his Katars and turning himself into a human blender as he punctured and shredded their flesh with bloodthirsty glee.
"Its official, I fucking love these." Adrian said to himself as he turned visible to check his handiwork
"Now then, let's see who else wants some. Because I ain't stoppin' until I reach the 1st mini-boss of this place." Adrian added with a wide grin across his face as he headed further into the dungeon intent on moving forwards until he reached the dungeon's mini boss
Adrian continued onwards in using what little offensive spells he had in his arsenal as a White Mage to kill off the creatures within the dungeon which he found consisted of more Hellhounds, various undead from the DOOM 2016 video game, Sangan and Hell Knights and Imps from the video game except twisted by the dungeon to look more formidable. Luckily he was able to endure the attacks that struck him with his relatively modest health pool and his spamming of Cure Wounds to replenish his HP whenever he was attacked.
The Gamer found himself having a blast as his path of carnage came down upon the various fiends like a rampant plague that greedily devoured everything in sight until nothing was left, with flashes of emerald from his spells and of sapphire from his punching daggers lighting up the area. With Adrian eventually finding himself settling into a rhythm as he continued throughout the dungeon, ambush them by going invisible with his cloaking device, let off a Sacred Light to blind them then wreak havoc at close range with his katars and combo in a Hell Stab or power up his attacks with a Bulk Up, and it they tried to get away he'd fire off a Arrow of Light.
With this trail of destruction allowing him to get through a lot of levels in White Mage to the point that when he finally saw the 1st Mini-Boss of the dungeon overhead that he made it nearly to level 18 of said class, while his Martial Artist class had grown considerably in reaching Level 23. Once he closed the distance he saw that his opponent would be none other than Archfiend of Gilfer, searching for its next target to kill.
'Before I go anywhere near him. Time to check out what new goodies I've gained.' Adrian thought in deciding it would be best to checkout his updated White Mage arsenal

'I can definitely work with Orb of Day and Retribution.' Adrian thought to himself as he traveled to the modest clearing where Archfiend of Gilfer was
"Well, it looks like your the first real challenge I'm gonna get." Adrian spoke while the demonic creature glared at him with this perpetual half-smile, half grimace
"This is as far as you'll get to go trespasser. You may have gotten past all those other pests, but you shall not get past me." Archfiend of Gilfer retorted as he didn't know who this piece of shit was but this as far he'd go
"You know everyone I fight keeps saying that. However, just like you they keep fucking dying." Adrian responded as he went forward and fired off an Arrow of Light
Archfiend of Gilfer had used its wings to leap out of the way and glide towards where it had last seen Adrian, only to see nothing as it scanned the area wondering where the Gamer could've gone as it soon touched down looking around. It was in the moment that Adrian had unleashed a point-blank Sacred Light in Archfiend of Gilfer's face blinding the creature from being struck by the holy radiance, which left it wide open for Adrian to unleash a quick salvo of jabs and hooks aimed at its face and chest.
Once Adrian saw that the effects of Sacred Light were wearing off he launched one more Bulk-Up powered Haymaker before using Misty Step and then activating his Cloaking Device to go invisible, as the currently bloodied and battered Archfiend of Gilfer looked around trying to see and sense where Adrian had gone off too. With it scanning and trying to smell where Adrian had gone off too in trying to see where the trespasser had gone off, only for it to have to dodge a trio of Orb of Day spells that hurtled towards it from some 50 feet away by the skin of its teeth.
Yet this was only just a diversion as Adrian soon used Misty Step to teleport behind it to quickly impale both Katars into it's back, Archfiend of Gilfer roaring in pain as Adrian continued to thrust both blades of his punching daggers into the back of the fiend. Something that was made even worse as he scored twin critical hits in the form of using his fists that were currently embedded in Archfiend of Gilfer's flesh to both cast Retribution, the beams of holy radiance violently erupting out of the fiends chest cavity in a display of gore and deep emerald colored light.
"So do you finally understand how fucked you really are?" Adrian questioned as he blasted another hole through Archfiend of Gilfer's chest before using Misty Step to evade a tail smashing into his legs
"You've only gotten lucky, with your trickery!" Archfiend of Gilfer spat before dropping to a knee due to the gaping chest wounds
"Well, so far my tricks have proven to kick your ass." Adrian responded as Archfiend of Gilfer came after him once more intent on tearing him to shreds
With Archfiend of Gilfer having gone after Adrian who would just Misty Step away from him, in finding amusement that everytime the archfiend would get within smacking distance of himself that he would just piss him off by teleporting away. With Adrian knowing that it was all in the fiend's futility considering that he was currently bleeding out from the chest wounds, along with Retribution's damage over time effects that were only being amplified by them being critical hits.
The Gamer letting Archfiend of Gilfer come after him for a divebomb to try and tear him to shreds with its claws, only for him to Misty Step out of the way and land on top of said fiend where he used his Hell Stab technique to pierce through and sever its right wing. Causing the archfiend to soon spiral out of control and careen back into the clearing, where once Archfiend of Gilfer hopped up to its feet it was met with a Bulk Up empowered punch to its face which had scored as a critical hit via the main bled of one of them impaling itself into his right eye.
Archfiend of Gilfer proceeded to roar in pain as the blades dug further into its skull sending blood and ocular fluid spurring forth like a leaky faucet, yet its screams were silenced as Adrian used his free hand to rapid-fire Retribution at point-blank into its mouth. The beams of holy radiance tearing there way through Archfiend of Gilfer's throat and neck, who was still in pain from Adrian further digging his katars into stab at Archfiend of Gilfer's face; that within mere moments the combined amount of radiant damage was enough to soon kill him via his body from the collarbone up soon imploding him.
"Well, that takes care of that." Adrian said to himself as he dusted some of the grime and gore off himself
'At least I got a Gacha Token of him, and a few levels in White Mage as a bonus.' Adrian thought to himself in seeing himself get to Level 22 and 60% of the way to 23 of his White Mage class
"...Guess the only thing to do now is to just head back and chill for a bit." Adrian said to himself before heading back to his dorm room
Adrian having now gained his new advanced class in the form of a Volcanic Lord and his making his first steps to being a White Mage, along with things going decently enough for him in both clubs. It looks as though everything thus far is in the clear. How will things fare for him in his future at Yokai Academy? Well, find out in the next chapters of A Gamer among Monsters.
With all that being said let's get down to some of the reviews from the last chapter, now shall we.
GreyPhantomSith: Now that you mention it that whole thing with Fem Harry and Adrian coming to the rescue sounds like a much better idea than Fem Voldemort, as there are so many more implications and ideas I can pull off with that. Because him coming to the rescue as you mentioned to her sounds awesome. So thanks for the idea my dude I appreciate it.
NazgulBelserion: We've got at least 5-7 more chapters before he reaches the Harry Potter universe at max.
Roiz: When you think about it that is how they're run when you mention it.
Mckenray: Trust me Adrian will get his act together when he goes to worlds such as Akame Ga Kill and Bleach. Considering that in those worlds he knows he has to have his A-game together and play everything to the best of his ability so that nothing can be left to chance. Hence why he'll be going at things in taking everything as though it were a major threat. Also the fights in the Harry Potter universe will rely on Adrian's enemies to be much more evasive and use teamwork in order to take him down. Considering that Adrian is the thing were all he has to do is just trap you one of his spells or get one good hit and your done for.
HazMizan00: I did and also I'm gonna have some fun when I get to that section of that story in pitting them against each other.
Yinko: The reason why he wouldn't join Fairy Tale is more of the fact that he doesn't want to bring back an eldritch abomination that is that world's version of Alucard. Considering that he knows the hot mess that will come of such a thing, hence why he'd rather just see the whole thing burn to the ground. Rather than be apart of it in any manner, as he's not gonna risk fucking around with that mess.
Lq840i: Mizore did so as its kind of like, oh your competition to me getting to Adrian. Well, I guess you die now. Because the thing is that Mizore is more along the lines of unless Adrian approves of you, then I will straight fucking murder you no questions asked if you get in my of him. Also, I'm pretty sure on some level Kurumu would hold some level of disgust that her race in other worlds and fantasy settings are nothing more cum-guzzling kingdom bicycles as you put it. Considering that she hates that her race embraces that stigma when to her they're capable of being something so much better than just a race of whores and sluts. Which is a reason in my mind as to why she would try to show so much restraint in her succubi nature. Also the Sphere control ability sounds dope as hell and something that I think I'll give Adrian later on down the line as like a Level 40 or 50 ability and the Power Up Punch ability I could have him use where he can increase the damage the more stamina he gives over to it. Also any abilities or techniques he could develop from his new Full Cowl ability I'm down to appreciate in sharing and workshopping with ya.
demzerff: Adrian for the most part wants to retain his humanity because if he does a racial swap that's fine, but he wants it to be under his own volition and free will. Since I do plan to have him eventually unlock a race of his own that goes in line with him using his newfound White Mage class. Maybe on the Touki thing for his Martial Artist class. Also for Kiyohime as a possible servant I will consider it as its something that does interest me, I just have to figure out where in the story I'm gonna be able to utilize her
Soulbow109: Adrian and Mizore will eventually hang out more over the course of the story, just have to get around to writing it out. Eventually there will come a time where Moka will run low on blood and when she does its gonna have her just hulk out and start fucking shit up until she drains it out of someone. Oh yeah, I'm definitely gonna have Gin get shit on in this because to me it just never made sense why after all of the shit he pulled and nearly raping Moka that they just let him go scot free with a virtual slap on the wrist. So trust me there's gonna be consequences for what he's done. Also for Keito its be fun how I can handle her character later on in the story since I do have plans for her no doubt about that.
Austin: Yeah Fire Lord Ozai would either court martial or execute Zhao on the spot for the dumbass fuckery he committed. Also a o.c story where Tywin or Stannis is Isekai'd into a Tokatsu or Super Sentai show would be dope as hell considering that their logic and reasoning clashing against the morality of the heroes would be amazing to read. Considering that neither of them fuck around and are people that as soon as an opportunity presents itself, they go right for the fucking throat.
Alright, that takes care of that. As I hoped you guys enjoyed the chapter and everything that went along with it. So without further delay, let's get down to it now shall we.
First up we've got Adrian in his doing one of his first sparring matches within the Martial Arts club and gaining the attention of Haiji which I thought would be something dope to do.
Next up we've got Adrian saying fuck it and skipping the last few levels of Pyromancer to get into and then subsequently test out his Volcanic Lord abilities which I hoped you guys liked. Because one thing that I plan on having Volcanic Lord focus on is mainly devastating AOE attacks and just overall destructive power.
Following that we've got my version of what would've happened when Gin tried to out an MC as a pervert to get in Moka or Kurumu's pants, which I wanted to do because it always pissed me off how everyone took Gin's side when Tsukune or rather Adrian in this case had built a quite stable relationship and known and trusted them for months by that point.
Lastly, we've got Adrian switching over to his White Mage class and grinding out some levels there which Hoped you guys enjoyed as I have plans for Adrian's endgame with the White Mage class.
All that being said please favorite, follow, review and share this story out as much as possible. And flames for the most part will be ignored because at the point you're mainly wasting mine and everyone's time. Other than that constructive criticism and ideas on how to improve things are welcome.
That being said this is Pravus666 signing out until next time as the next chapter will be of Adrian rescuing Mizore from Kotsubo and some other things I've got planned. So stay tuned for all of that.
