"Will you help us?" Ark asked Adrian.

"Nope. I did summon Saena so she will heal you guys when you are about to die. Best of luck!" Adrian stated as he flew in the air and chilled.

Adrian wanted to know the capabilities of the three and it is also his attempt in making them back off if they are not able to do this. He wanted them to at least experience what they are going to be doing in a week from now. An army of angels will try and attack them, and they should at least be prepared.

Adrian observed how the three moved and they actually impressed him. Ark would be the dedicated tank of the group and he moved as expected of a tank. He did not have great skills and movements, but he can accurately do what he needs to do within the given time. He remained calmed and observed the enemies with great timing.

"He is not a bad tanker as he is a mix between a damage dealer and a tank. He mainly uses spells to create distances and block attacks. He uses the Magic Swordsman class in such a flexible fashion but was it due to their party characteristics which is why he uses that playstyle?

He is not bad, but he is not the best. It seems that he is suppressing his real abilities in order to flow easily with the team but that is not good in a game such as Pandemonium. He will not always be with his group members which is why he needs to hone himself before thinking of teamplay." Adrian thought as he examined Ark's playstyle.

Just like what Adrian said, Ark is supposed to be more aggressive than passive. The strength of a magic swordsman deals with the fact that they can execute magic and swordsmanship together. Ark's playstyle is basically making use of magic and swordsmanship separately to act as the tank.

If Ark fails to protect them, Pana will step in and provide cover fire. He is also proficient in using arrows that creates traps which is ideal for crowd control. All the enemies that slip up will be caught in traps or dead from the combination of Pana and the dragon Pyro.

Adrian could see that they have been playing for a long time already as they have this synchronicity that only friends who have played a long time can have. Adrian is even a bit jealous because they work better than he and his friends, but they are also far weaker individually. The weakness of this team comes with the fact that they are not strong individually.

The first problem appeared when Ark became surrounded and is unable to draw aggro from the other mobs. Pana and Pyro were left to fend for themselves in the situation which is also not ideal. Pyro might be a dragon, but he has yet to fully grow into an adult. Dragons have different maturity stages depending on their species and Pyro seems to be somewhat special.

"Their playstyle will have to change now though. She is not the same fragile summoner as before." Adrian muttered as he looked towards Basil.

Just when they thought that they will fail in looking cool, five mobs suddenly got hurled. Basil suddenly emitted a fearsome aura from her body that left all the Ice Ghouls. She emitted the majesty of a dragon which suddenly increased Pyro's fighting ability along with Shock.

The juvenile lightning dragon might not have done great damage in this area, but his first skill is actually a defense mechanism. It is a skill that releases a powerful area lightning attack that does no damage but stuns all enemies for a minute. This made all the Ice Ghouls charging towards Basil become stunned to the point that she swept them with her tail.

Basil at first thought that she will die because she is a summoner with weak defenses as that is what she was used to. She only snapped out of that delusion when one Ice Ghoul managed to reach her to bite her arm. She thought that at least half of her health will vanish, but she was surprised when only 5% was shaved off.

Although not intentionally, Adrian chose an area where monsters deal elemental damage. Ice Ghouls deal frost damage which Basil has great resistances to. Her own dragon scale living armor plus her resistances makes her a monster of a tank against elemental attacks. The only way to truly kill her would be to attack her physically or a skill that can penetrate resistances.

Basil suddenly saw a way to win against the odds and decided to use her newly found skills. One of her abilities is to have the ability to use spells for each element of dragons that she owns. It seems that the elemental dragon kings given her spell books as gift. She also has the True Dragon Tongue skill which helps her bypass the spell's incantation in exchange for more mana cost.

"Heat Wave!" Basil shouted as a powerful wave of heat is created with her as the center.

The heat wave swept across the battlefield which melted the Ice Ghouls that surrounded them. With just one spell, Basil managed to dispose of half the monsters that were lured. She did empty out her mana pool though which deactivated her living armor.

When Basil lost her dragon scale living armor, one could say that she suddenly turned into a bikini model for a bit until her mana regenerated back again. Pana could be seen blushing from what he saw while Ark is shouting for help as he still has the aggro for Ice Ghouls. In the end, the three managed to defeat all the Ice Ghouls that Wisteria lured.

They did not die because Saena healed them up whenever they are dropping to red health levels. Adrian also made sure that they will not get flooded with enemies by teleporting an Ice Ghoul or two. Still, this horde fight gave their group the realization that they have never been confronted by a Monster House or a horde which they know is incredibly lucky.

"Thanks, Basil!" If it were not for you then we would have been toast." Ark stated as Pana is still remembering glimpse of the figure he saw.

"The two of you did well and managed to divert attention until we can defeat them all. If Pyro did not have an elemental type of advantage and Shock for his crowd control, then we will have difficulty." Basil stated but Adrian suddenly interjected.

"Nope. He is correct with the assessment because you would have been able to handle this horde by yourself." Adrian stated as he descended to the ground.

"But they did the aggro pulling." Basil added but the two boys looked down when she looked at Ark and Pana.

"Even they know that they were really not needed because you would have wiped out the whole horde by yourself if you had realized earlier. Your job class puts you in a league above others and that is not a bad thing. Even in you genuinely believe that the others did a great job, they, in their core, know that they took a backseat." Adrian stated the harsh truth which is now the reality of their group.

"Did you guys think so as well?" Basil asked as she looked at her two team members, but their silence proved what Adrian said is correct.

"I am not telling you this to demotivate you but to wake you all to the truth. All of you are strong as a team but take that aspect out then only Basil will be able to fend for herself. It seems that you three have been playing with each other for too long that you have forgotten personal growth.

If you are playing casually then that is fine but if you are playing to earn something or make of something, then that is another discussion. I will wait for your deliberations to see what path we are going to next because I cannot let you join the fight if you are still like this after a week." Adrian stated as he gave the three time to talk to each other.

"I hate to say this, but he is correct. I realized earlier that I would be weak if not for Pyro." Pana stated.

"I also agree because I was not able to defend myself when a swarm of enemies were in my way. I was too focused on defending you guys that I forgot how to defend myself." Ark stated as he played this game to actually earn something and might have stray away from that path when he enjoyed playing with Pana and Basil.

"I guess he is right that we actually neglected personal growth and it only stuck out like a sore thumb when I changed my job class to a superior one." Basil stated as she also knew that they are lacking when alone.
