The news that Adrian woke up immediately made Mina and Adrian's mom rush to the hospital. They even took lunch boxes there as Adrian might feel a bit weak. Adrian's mom wanted him to eat before he was discharged from the hospital.
The two of them arrived after Dr. Happy's inspection so they were just in time for the doctor to say the test results. The results were mostly just Dr. Happy telling them that Adrian's vitals were no longer erratic and that he had calmed down. There were no other problems and that he can now return back home.
"You can be discharge then. I will let a nurse give you the papers. Excuse me and enjoy your meal." Dr. Happy said as he exited the room with his signature warm smile.
"Seriously! Do not worry us too much like that. Next time you see a little girl get hit by something moving then you must let nature take its course." Mina stated as a joke.
"Mina!" Adrian's mother said in an embarrassed tone.
"Well that is dark." Adrian replied with a dry laugh.
"I am just saying." Mina replied and all of them shared a good laugh.

On the way back home….
"Oh Yeah! I forgot to tell you that I told your friends that your game pod broke down because of your haloswatch so tell then that is the reason you were out of commission. Okay?" Mina said with her signature persuasive smile.
"Okay. I also do not want Soleil to feel guilty because of my own personal trauma. Let us keep this thing between us. A secret between siblings." Adrian immediately replied but in his mind was another sentence.
"I know that smile. It is her if you do not agree with me then you are dead smile." Adrian thought in the back of his mind.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey reached home with no worries but there is still that lingering fear in the minds of the family for Adrian. Still, Adrian wanted to play the game because he was the one who invited the whole team for the raid yet he did nothing yet for them. Also, Dr. Happy actually agreed that he can play again because he said that it is therapeutic for him in a way.
Knowing that even his doctor was on board made Adrian glad. What he did not know is that Dr. happy wanted Adrian to clear the first obstacle for him to walk. Also it is quite a task to help people overcome their trauma which is why Adrian has to report to the hospital every week from now on. It is so that no more unexpected things occur.
Adrian managed to convince his parents by letting them monitor him. They would basically stream the dungeon crawl on their television located in their living room. Adrian once again went inside his game pod and it safely booted once again. He checked the messages only for there to be dozens of them.
"It seems that they were really worried." Adrian uttered with a sad smile and it looks like he was about to tear up. He felt really warm because of their genuine worry for them.
"All the more reason for me to do my best but I should tell them that I am okay first." Adrian thought to himself as he sent a chat using the group chat.
Equinox: Yo! How is everybody doing?
Creepysoo: (╯°□°)╯ Big Bro is back. Yay! What happened to you?!
Equinox: My haloswatch suddenly fritzed. I am sorry for making you guys worry.
Levin Cloud: It is all good as long as you are fine.
Soleil: Big bro worried me a lot. I thought it was my fault. (T-T)
Peridot: You do not have to feel guilty little Soleil. It is his fault that his haloswatch was hacked anyway. He probably downloaded something unsightly.
Kabrakan: Will you be able to join us in the raid?
Equinox: Yup! I am logging in right now. Wait for me guys. ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ

Adrian appeared right back on the spot where he was logged out. He was in the room where the ice blocks would hit you if you trigger the floor tile. He immediately unfurled his wings and safely passed the room without triggering anthing.
He then arrived to the room where the arrows would fire if you stepped on the moving magic circle. He activated his Evil Eye just to make sure and he saw the movement of the magic circles. That is right. There were three magic circles that were moving like a pinball. If it struck another magic circle or a corner then the magic circle will bounce back.
He once again flew across in order to save up time because he did not want anyone to say he was slacking off. He then arrived at the stone bridge and like they said the wraiths were still there. They were roaming the area thoughtlessly. It seems the frost wraiths would only react when someone stepped on the bridge.
Adrian knew what he had to do and immediately summoned Kanlaon. A magic circle with a dragon insignia made with lines of red, blue and a tint of brown appeared on the air. A dragon roar was then heard that caught the attention of the frost wraiths.
Kanlaon's long body already reached the bridge so the frost wraiths charged towards him. It looked like the frost wraiths were charging with much more ferocity when they charged towards Kanlaon. It feels like they were frustrated with something and wanted to vent on someone.
Unlucky for the frost wraiths, Kanlaon is a Frostfire Dragon that deals high damage towards them. This is why sometimes having the inability to feel fear is not useful. Fear is natural and all things must feel it in order to judge if something is not good for them. All the frost wraiths ended up beautifully exploding like they were a bunch of fireworks.
If you were in Adrian's house then you would hear cheering from the living room. It is because apparently his parents were enjoying watching Adrian. His mother even shed one tear when he saw Adrian walking although his look was different because he had horns and wings.
He also had tattoos but since it was a game she let it slide. If it was in real life the she would have whipped Adrian's buttocks until it was sore and he could no longer walk. Nevertheless, they were enjoying seeing their son becoming active and rather fearless. It seems a seed of excitement is now planted on their hearts.
Adrian pushed the large door by himself as he had enough strength to anyway because of the stat awakening at level 100. He was greeted by the members and Creepysoo even hugged him. Soleil wanted to hug him but she was beaten by Creepysoo. It seems that the young boy was too affectionate towards his first friend in Pandemonium.
"Sorry that I am late." Adrian said comically.
"It is okay. Now that you are here then things would become much easier." Levin Cloud stated with a smile as he passed on the party leader back to Adrian once he was added back into the party.
[You are now the party leader.]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Move away everyone. It is now time for my task first." Solstice stated and everyone listened.
"Wow! Did we raise her to become that demanding?" Adrian's mother asked as she stared at the television screen.
"Probably got it from you." Adrian's father casually replied. He did not dare look at his wife's reaction.
"You did tell me that you want me to seal a creature right?" Adrian asked.
"It is right there. The one who is warily looking at your dragon." Solstice said as she pointed the yeti that is now quiet due to Kanlaon's presence.
Adrian the inspected the yeti and saw that it was bound by a special chain. The chain seemed to weaken the yeti and is actually sapping its health continuously. Judging from the bones near it, it seems that this yeti is not the only one to suffer this fate.
"I will try then but do not blame me if I fail." Adrian replied.
Adrian then focused on the yeti that had its guard up against him. It seems the yeti felt the power radiating from Adrian as it was not roaring and trying to sound threatening towards him.
"Greater Seal" Adrian muttered as a magic circle then materialized below the yeti's feet.
The yeti was suddenly alarmed as it felt another foreign energy entering its body. Different chains with runic symbols then materialized and bound the yeti. The yeti failed to struggle with this because it was already weak and is only using a bit of its strength to look like a threat.
Adrian became confident that he will pull the seal off but then the other set of chains binding the yeti glowed. The other set of chains then glowed in an eerie light and it actually cancelled the sealing spell that Adrian cast. Adrian was mind boggled as why that happened and Soleil almost cursed out loud.
Adrian then checked what type of chains was binding this yeti as it did not look normal.
Item: Life Shackles
Tier: Epic
Type: Trap
Effect: Any living bound by this chain will be continuously sap their life force and sending it to the one who bound them. It also protects the one affected from other sealing type skills or items.
Description: Chains said to be made using forbidden magic. The creator of this item is yet unknown but if found out then the creator would be branded a heretic and will be branded as a traitor towards living beings. A great deal of force is needed to break the chains.
