Adrian was flung into an unknown place by Ascalor. He did not know if it was just chance or was intentional that he was sent to the outskirts of a canyon. The surroundings reminded him of the Forsaken Cemetery that he was at but minus the tombstones. Adrian scoured the area only to find one wooden sign that staked with letters written in red paint but upon observing it closely it was actually blood.

"Cristobal Canyon. Where the dead can never rest. Well that sounds promising. And who is this Cristobal guy that he has a canyon named after him." said Adrian in a sarcastic tone.

He then suddenly remembered an item in his inventory that was just sitting there. Adrian pulled out the Corrupted Spirit Stone held in his hands. The Corrupted Spirit Stone was made by combining the fragments together and more fragments means a more powerful sealing stone.

Item: Corrupted Spirit Stone (Superior)

Tier: Epic

Type: Consumable

Effect: Seals the unrelenting soul of an undead monster inside it. The higher the tier, the stronger the sealing effect. In order to use, the sealed undead spirit must be blessed in any church so that they could bless and wash away its instincts to kill the living.

In order to get a superior version of the Corrupted Spirit Stone, Adrian had to fuse ten fragments first to make an inferior version and then twenty more fragments for a moderate version. Finally, he fused forty more fragments to upgrade it to the superior version. All in all it took 70 fragments to make a superior version leaving Adrian with twelve fragments. He decided to go for the superior version at once to greaten his chances.

"If there is a unique undead here, maybe I could seal it since I already have two more active soulbound slots available. I would prefer an off tank or a supporter that could produce barriers since I already have a healer." Adrian thought.

Adrian and his soulbounds walked around near the canyon entrance area but there were no monsters sighted which was odd. He checked this morning if the monsters are back in their field zones and they were when he looked at the forums. Adrian could feel his skin crawl because the silence was eerie as not even the wind could make a sound. The surroundings were deathly silent and Adrian could feel that he was being watched.

He was getting restless as he feels a looming danger but he does not know where so he instinctively used his Evil Eye to look at the surroundings. When his eyes changed color, he was able to see it the flame like substance of the soul and there were dozens of them. He could see them when he activates his evil eye but when turned off he could not see them.

"What are they? Are they ghosts or specters? Why are they not attacking us? or maybe if they attack their invisibility will wear off. I could not appraise them since all I see is their soul color. None of them carry a golden soul anyways." Adrian thought.

When Adrian got his evil eye, he could see the color of a being's soul as long as it carries one. There are the pale souls that is just misty white color. These souls are considered ordinary. The next tier would be silver souls that slightly stronger individuals possess. Finally there are golden souls which all three of Adrian's soulbounds possess because they are extraordinary. Kanlaon has the deepest golden color with Sirius second and Saena last because she has not activated her bloodline yet.

Adrian was thinking on what to do and he thought of a wild and crazy idea. That idea was using his skill Soul Form Manifestation and fight them off as a soul. If both of them were incorporeal, they should be able to hit each other right? Adrian did not want Sirius to sit this fight out because there were about fifty beings he saw. Ghostlike enemies are notoriously fast but low in health so Sirius would be perfect in dealing with them.

Adrian casted Soul Form manifestation on himself first and was shocked because he could finally see the enemies. They were wraiths. The wraiths were wearing full body hooded robes that were torn and there were chains on their pale ghostly arms. Inside the hood was only a pale yellow light and no face. They hovered mid-air and they had no feet but white smoke was spewing in their lower body.

Monster: Wraith

Level: 53

HP: 50,000/50,000(100%)

MP: 20,000/20,000

Description: An undead creature said to be the embodiment of souls of the recently deceased and have come back because of unfinished business.

The wraiths suddenly charged towards Adrian as they saw his transformation. The only thing that Adrian could think off was that he cursed himself. He clenched his oversized gauntlets and tried punching the first wraith that arrived before him and he was shocked because he could feel a rebound which means his theory was correct.

[You have dealt 10,357 damage to the Wraith.]

Adrian was not surprised by the enormous damage he dealt because his new titles gave him immense damage also his 'Undead Killer' title gives 50% more damage to undead. The Greater Demon title was the most useful of his current titles. The 'First Greater Demon' gave him additional stats and the 'First of its Kind' gave him the Luck stat.

Title: Greater Demon

Description: Title given to those who successfully evolve into a greater demon. Can be upgraded.

Effect: Opens the hidden Luck stat. Luck +5

"The player who unlocked the dragonkin might have a similar title to my 'First Greater Demon' or maybe even better." Adrian thought as he was being swarmed by wraiths.

Adrian could no longer take the assault of wraiths as he was already getting bombarded with claw attacks despite the 10% healing he gets from his overall damage. He decided to immediately cast 'Soul Form Transformation' on Sirius since the cooldown for the skill just finished. Sirius' body became invisible to the naked eye and became ghostlike.

"Sirius use Phantom Rush" Adrian told Sirius using their soul link.

Sirius bombarded the 48 wraiths with incredible claw attacks and even bit them. Now that Adrian has a way to 'physically' harm incorporeal beings this fight would become easier. Adrian also joined Sirius on the fight as he too was being bombarded with attacks from the wraiths as their aggro shifted to him. Meanwhile the two soulbounds, Kanlaon and Saena, were wondering what happened to their eldest brother and master.

Adrian finally decided to use the 'Vortex' skill as there were too many wraiths to deal with. Adrian summoned a small cluster of condense space magic and it slowly went upwards. He snapped his fingers and the condense energy exploded generating a black hole that sucked all the wraiths inside carrying them to oblivion. The two soulbounds who were not in their soul form saw the black hole and were relieved because that means that their master is safe.

[You have successfully killed the Wraith. You have been given experience points.]

[You have successfully killed the Wraith. You have been given experience points.]

...

[Player Equinox has leveled up.]

[Sirius has leveled up.]

[Kanlaon has leveled up.]

[Saena has leveled up.]

[Saena has leveled up.]

The ding that the level up notification was blissful to hear for Adrian as that was the result of his hardwork. He was joyful but he suddenly heard a notification.

[The Cursed Wraith wakes from its slumber due to the disappearance of its guards.]

Adrian then saw smoke surrounding them and gathering at a spot twenty meters in front of them. The smoke came together and made a swirling motion like that of a cloud tornado that was thirty feet in height. It did not take long for the Cursed Wraith to appear and look at Adrian with hunger like that of the wraiths before it but with more intensity.

It looked like a normal wraith but it had dark tattered robes and inside the hood was red light instead of the yellow light that normal wraiths had. It was also twenty feet in height and it had black miasma seeping through it. This was the field boss that spawns when a number of normal mobs are defeated. Adrian was not happy with the field boss spawning because that means there are others present in the canyon and was able to hunt the invisible wraiths.

It did not take long to see the people who were hunting the wraiths because Adrian heard a voice from his left side.

"Daddy, the Field Boss is there! Huh, it even has summoned some minions!" a cute voice of a little girl said.

"So I am treated as a minion now." Adrian said as a vein popped on his forehead.
