BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1246 A Week Before The Infiltration
Adrian already has a battle plan in mind, but he also needs a few days of preparation. He told Drakness Tenebrosus to come back in Avalon with his dark dragon army a day before the attack date. He will need to brief them in order to make the plan a success.
Adrian did not explain what his true objective is to Drakness Tenebrosus as he is only bound to serve for a day. His mouth is not sealed which means he might leak what Adrian is really after should he say his objective. A sneak operation will no longer be possible if the angels know what to expect.
Drakness Tenebrosus and the other elemental dragon kings left after Adrian issued his command. Basil saw them off as they are now calling her mother without the Goddess as she is not a deity. What Adrian did not expect is that the trio also wants to help him in his operation.
"Can you let us join, Equinox!? Please!" Ark stated as he wanted to repay Adrian for helping his friend in getting the unique job class called Mother of Dragons.
"I also want to help. A dragon egg is not a small favor which is why I want to be helpful with this. My presence itself will strengthen the dragons." Basil stated as she told Adrian two of her passive skills that could turn the tides of battle.

One passive skill that Basil got is called Tiamat\'s Incarnation. This passive skill basically gave her 50% damage reduction in all elemental attacks. She also said that this skill can also grow which means 50% damage reduction for elemental attacks are not the cap.
Another factor of this skill is elemental spell nullification which basically gave her the prowess of a tank. Add to the fact that a bonus 20% defense of any armor she equips is also in effect. She is much tankier than Ark who is their team\'s tank.
A summoner\'s weakness is usually their bodies, but she has surpassed that. The only downside of her skill is the fact that she needs mana for the defense buff to always operate. The mana requirement is not even that strict which is why she can always activate the Dragon Goddess Scale Living Armor.

Cooldown: None

The next passive that Basil showed Adrian basically will buff the army of dark dragons as long as she is present. Adrian could not believe that such a character is possible, but he is also like Basil, but she has her niche. Adrian does not have a contract requirement for his soulbounds, but Basil can only have dragons for the buffs to work.
"If I let all of three you join, you must always stay behind the dark dragons. Facing angels at your level is dangerous which is why Ark and Pana\'s duty will be protecting Basil. She will most likely become a target if the angels know that she is strengthening the dragons." Adrian stated as he worried for the three of them.
Adrian could see the fire in their eyes and them yearning to repay him even though he already received a lot. It seems that these three will not stop pestering him unless he agrees. Although, he has to admit that having Basil with the dark dragon horde will be a good buff to them. It will also be a good experience for the three.
"Since all three of you are raring to go, I must see your capabilities. You can also call what we are going to do as a training session. Old Man Pann! I am borrowing these three for a while." Adrian stated as he looked at Pann but the latter held out his hand.
"It seems that you are forgetting something important?!" Pann stated as he waited in anticipation.
"I do not have money plus I do not owe you money." Adrian replied.
"I meant the gifts that are meant for me. I will use those to replenish my Hatchery\'s energy. Unless you will aid me in other ways then you can keep those dragon scales as you still owe me for using it. If you give the gifts, then you do not owe me anything anymore." Pann stated.
Adrian sighed and gave all the dragon scales to Pann as he really does owe him for hatching Kanlaon. All Pann got was his curiosity being sated back then but Adrian did not know that it cost the old man much. Adrian might be greedy, but he knows how to owe a debt of gratitude. Still, his hands were being particularly sticky as the dragon scales seemed to have a difficult time leaving his hands.
"Paradox, open a portal to the north." Adrian stated as the Cube of Paradox suddenly exploded into tiny pieces to create a stable portal.
"Cool!" The three stated as Adrian unceremoniously sent the three inside the gate. He then controlled the gate to pass through him as he followed the three.
====
"Is this the northern continent?!" Ark stated in excitement as he has never travelled outside the central continent before.
"It is and this will be your new training ground. I will need to see how you three conduct yourselves in a fight. I transported us in the Frosted Wastelands where Ice Ghouls appear. I figured I will give you three a leeway by having at least one of you getting an elemental advantage." Adrian stated.
"We will show you, our might!" Ark stated as he wanted to energize the three. All three of them are pumped up as Ark is the vanguard with Pana being in the middle while Basil is at the back. Adrian looked at their formation and it is very stable.
"Greater Summon: Wisteria" Adrian stated as he summoned his weakest summon that is at the same level as the three.
"So cute! I shall also summon my babies!" Basil stated as he summoned Pyro and Shock.
Pyro looked like a raptor that is crusted with lava. Shock, on the hand, could actually be mistaken for a bug that has draconic blood. The lightning dragon is still a baby, but it has faint distinction of being a dragon. Nevertheless, Adrian can feel that it is a dragon but the unique thing about it is its wings.
The lightning dragon\'s wings have the skeletal frame of a dragon but the film like a dragonfly\'s wings. The lightning dragon did not have front claws as it is already its wings, but this is balanced by its serpentine head structure. It is also emitting cute sparks as if telling its mother that it will protect her.
"He is so cute!" Basil stated as she hugged the lightning dragon. She was not shocked because she had resistances that made the damage negligible.
"I think that should be enough preparation. Show me what you are made of." Adrian stated.
"Will I need to draw aggro from the Ice Ghouls?" Pana asked as he is usually the one that baits enemies for the group.
"Nope. I already have that handled. Just make sure that all of you are prepared. I mean really prepared as this will take all of you into consideration. Wisteria, use Floral Therapy." Adrian stated as his soulbound suddenly released a fragrant floral scent in the air which buffed the three. What they did not expect is that the Ice Ghouls suddenly rose from the snow and charge towards them in droves.
