********************

Hades and the others weren't able to level up much as I wasn't summoning them because so far I was able to handle everything on my own or by using the general summons. The major difference between the general summons and the others was the difference in time that they required to resurrect. While Hades and the others, now (after leveling up) took two hours to resurrect, the general summons required only 10 seconds to resurrect and rejoin the fight and according to me it was a huge bonus as now I had a dependable force to fight even if Hades and the others were destroyed.

The 'Warpfaces' were specially useful because they are like living portals which were connected with each other, and up to five people to teleport from location of one 'warpface' to another. So I could travel anywhere I wanted to, in blink of an eye, also they could hide in shadows and completely erase their presence such that no one would know where they were hiding.

I stepped down the stairs, into the floor number 10, which was supposedly a checkpoint floor. This floor was just like the others, similar structure and all, the only difference was that there were no branching paths, just a huge chamber, with a single monster was standing with its back turned towards me. Something felt wrong about this small humanoid-draconic, feathered creature. I summoned a hobgoblin and ordered him to attack the creature, the hobgoblin nodded and ran towards the creature but the moment he entered the chamber, everything got covered in a thick fog when the fog had dissipated the goblin was nowhere to be found. The creature was still standing with its back towards me.

There's no way that creature could kill a hobgoblin that fast, even if it was that fast, I doubt it could kill hundreds of monsters at once.

I called out Hades and made him equip one out of the four armours that I had forged from the nightscreamer's scales then I summoned every hobgoblins and ogres I had, and rushed into the chamber along with them. Just like it had happened with the hobgoblin, the chamber got filled with the fog and my skin started burning it felt like my skin was going to melt away.

"GOD'S GRACE!" I howled in pain, and soon the pain faded away, the spell was working. I looked around, dying ogres and goblins were all I could see. So it was no ordinary fog, it was made from acid. I thought Hades was gone as well but thanks to the armour, he was safe and was already attacking the draconic monster. Hades kept swinging his sword at the monster but the monster easily dodged them all.

USER SKILL : HASTE HAS BEEN ACTIVATED.

********************

"HADES THROW ME TOWARDS THE CEILING!" I shouted grabbing onto his arm. Hades did what he was told to and a moment later I was soaring above the monster. "Try and dodge this, STARFIRE BARRAGE!"

Hundreds of fiery bullets rained down on the monster, no way he was getting out of that unscathed. The chamber was filled with smoke and dust. The monster was defeated, or so I thought.

"That's all you got?" The creature smirked as the dust around it settled down. "It'll take 100 years before someone like you could defeat me!" He charged at me, baring his claws.

Perfect.

The thing he didn't counted on was that I had already summoned two warpfaces, who were hiding in my shadow. Now all I needed was for him to come close enough so that one of them could hide in the monster's shadow.

He was faster than I had assumed, like a flash he got in front of me and kicked me so hard, I went flying, but the deed was done, a the warpface was now one with the monster's shadow. The monster didn't even noticed it as he was busy laughing at the way he kicked me.

"SWITCH!" I yelled and a moment later I was standing behind the creature.

"Let's see who has the last laugh." I whispered in his ear.

He was shocked and turned around to punch me, but before he could...

USER SKILL : TORMENT HAS BEEN ACTIVATED.

********************

The creature froze, his first inches away from my face. He looked at me, confused and scared.

"Can't dodge this anymore can you?" I pointed my fingers at the creature's throat. "STARFIRE BARRAGE!"
