"Tsk. I Couldn't even increase the rank of a single summon. At least they are all at A+ for now." Arnold turned around to face everyone, "This is going to be a tough battle, so don't hold yourselves back at all. Do what you do best and let's slay this walking blob of fat together!"
Arnold had thought that maybe after using [ENHANCEMENT] on his summons at least a few of them would be able to reach S rank which would've evened up the ground a bit, but unknown to him the system had already placed some restrictions on the ability which indirectly told Arnold to level up his rank or else his summons won't be able to reach a higher rank.
At least the bonus effects granted by the enhancement were a bit useful. Asterios, being a tank and a brawler got a defense and HP boost, Bad-Breath got a bonus which increased his strength and other physical abilities, while Talos who was transformed as Jake, got an intelligence and mana boost, and lastly, Cerberus' strength and agility were significantly enhanced. Arnold took out his battle gears and quickly equipped them. His equipped gear was still the same except his new, [Phoenix cloak].
___
• [PHOENIX CLOAK] : A cloak made up of ashes left behind by the last Phoenix as a blessing to all beings.
Grade : A+
Defense : 69 (Physical and Magical)
Armour Type : Cloak
Weight : 0.56 kg
Additional effect : [TITAN'S BLESSING] - Reflects 15% of damage received as physical damage to the attacker.
Advertisement
Additional effect : [BLAZING PHOENIX] - Boosts the effect of fire affinity by 25%.
___
It was the same cloak that Arnold wasn't able to afford due to unavailability of crystal, which wasn't easy to obtain as it was dropped by rank A monsters only. He had obtained it after slaying Asterios.
Needless to say even this 'Phoenix cloak' had undergone a lot of upgrades which were both done magically as well as physically by Arnold and Talos. Thanks to these upgrades, Arnold was able to increase the grade of the cloak from B+ to A+.
"START NOW!" Arnold yelled and his summons immediately went into action.
___
Your summon has used the skill [DANCE OF THE DEAD] lvl. 5.
___
A horde of skeletal warriors rose from within the earth. They were equipped with various weapons made of bones and upon Talos' command, charged at the Dreadnought who had finally noticed his new opponents and prepared to engage them. But something else was waiting for him instead.
___
Your summon has used the skill [BATTLE CRY] lvl. 3.
The skill was successful.
The target has been aggravated at for the 35 seconds.
___
___
Your summon has used the skill [THUNDER PUNCH] lvl. 4.
___
Bad-Breath went ahead and started raining thunderous punches on the Dreadnought, while it was fixated on Asterios.
The skeletons and Bad-Breath kept attacking it relentlessly and to no one's surprise, it only had minimal effect on the the Dreadnought.
All of them had been working with each other like this for an year. They knew very well about each others strengths and weaknesses, they're teamwork was flawless. Arnold didn't need to give them a single command after the battle began, everyone knew exactly what they had to do and played their part well. In fifteen seconds they managed to chip off a good amount of Dreadnought's HP, even though their attacks weren't having their maximum effect due to the Dreadnought's immunities and resistances.

___
Dreadnought's remaining HP : 10170/11700
___
'Since, Piercing type weapons aren't effective against it, so using vindicator is out of question.' Arnold thought, 'It's a good thing, I know just the spell that would work against you.'
"Don't have much time left... Gotta make this count." Arnold mumbled as he got on Cerberus' back and raised a ramp in front of him, using his earth elemental control ability, "Climb this ramp as fast as you can and try to jump over that thing's back with all your might, got it?"
Cerberus, who was in the form, nodded and began climbing the makeshift ramp in front of it.
___
Your summon has used the skill [SONIC BOLT] lvl. 4.
Movement speed increased by 25%
___
Arnold held tightly onto Cerberus, as he raced towards the ramp, rising higher and higher.
"NOW CERBERUS!" Arnold yelled as Cerberus jumped off the ramp.
Arnold used his momentum and jumped off Cerberus' back, and aimed his spell right on Dreadnought's back.
"No matter how tough your skin is or how much defense you've got, even you're not immune to true damage... FROST FLAME!" Arnold bellowed and threw the balls of ice at the Dreadnought's back.
_________________________
Damage dealt after reduction due to target's defense : 88.
The target is in a [FROZEN] state for : 14 seconds.
The target is immune to the effect, [FROZEN] effect has been cancelled.
The target is in a [BURNT] state. Additional damage of 79 HP/ second would be inflicted on the target for : 10 seconds.
_________________________
The damage wasn't much, just like Arnold had suspected, but this wasn't the only effect this skill had. The ball of ice contained the power Arcane flames within them.
The flames wouldn't have managed to burn away the beasts skin on its own, but thanks to Phoenix cloak, the skin on Dreadnought's back was melted away, exposing it's spine. This was Arnold's one and only chance to take down the Dreadnought.
___
YOUR SUMMON(S) :
and have been destroyed by [DREADNOUGHT].
Time to resurrect : 1 hour.
___
With the corner of his eyes, Arnold saw his summons getting one-shotted by the Dreadnought's club, just like the system had warned him.
"No time to waste. ASTERIOS!" Arnold shouted and pointed towards the monster's exposed spine. Even the thick brained Asterios knew what he had to do and used the ramp to climb over the Dreadnought's back with lightning speed.
Arnold's plan was simple, if he couldn't use any weapon to break the Dreadnought's spine, he'll just have to smash it into bits, thanks to the effects of his new title, he and Asterios were capable of doing that.
___
Title bonus activated : [Crouching Figure]
Please select a summon whose attribute you would like obtain temporarily :
• [Duke] : Accuracy (ACC) +85
• [Talos] : Intelligence (INT) +80
• [CERBERUS] : Agility (AGI) + 70
• [Bad-Breath] : Stamina (STA) +60
• [Asterios] : Strength (STR) +100
• [Natasha] : Mystic (MYS) +??
___
'Asterios!' Arnold selected the attribute in his mind and felt like a jolt of electricity ran through his body, his strength had increased a lot but he wasn't done yet.
___
You've used the skill [BERSERKER'S RAGE] lvl. 5.
All attributes have been boosted by +150%
___
Arnold formed a fist with both of his hands and slammed them down on Dreadnought's spine with all his might. Asterios followed his master and did the same.
Arnold heard a loud cracking noise as the monstrosity, who destroyed 3 of his elite summons, fell on his knees and took it's last breath.

Sara's (not really) Fabulous System Armageddon, Book I: The World Ended at Rush Hour
Planet Earth, Monday, October 7th, 2019. 18:30 * * On a fateful day, during rush hour in eastern North America, Heavens and Hell crumbled and fell from their higher dimension on Earth. It came from "above" but not the same above we regard in our tridimensional Euclidean reasoning. No, it came from "above" as in from a higher dimension. Bits and pieces of those places fell on Earth from all directions, this time in tridimensional Euclidean space. Satellites, the ISS, and space debris all were wiped clean from orbit. Even those that didn't crash with the falling debris were knocked off orbit by the shockwaves. On the ground, power distribution lines were disrupted and most power facilities were left abandoned by their dead staff. Most of these had emergency shutdown routines that engaged in a few days. Some others had a survivor among their staff that followed protocol and activated their SCRAM switches, stopping the power plant. Long-distance communication disappeared the internet along with it. The world was plunged into technological darkness. Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand human beings perished immediately in the pulse of magical energy from the torn spatial boundary. Spirits were rent asunder and vanished, their fate neither salvation nor damnation, only oblivion. The criteria used for this culling was latent magic potential. It didn't discriminate against education, gender, age, or ethnic group. But of the around seven million survivors, most would meet their doom moments later. Those on moving vehicles, like the ones driving on highways suddenly had to contend with high-speed uncontrolled cars and trucks driven by corpses. Trapped in their vehicles and helpless, they became part of the long snake of crushed metal. Very few survived. Those in the air or out in the sea were alone and probably unable to control their rides. Airplanes crashed, and ships kept their course or drifted away, depending on their autopilot. Several ended their own lives in utter despair after seeing their loved ones die in front of them. Another large group would die at the hands of other survivors. Violence and aggression became the norm. Only a few sparse pockets of not-so-sane survivors managed to band together and cooperate for the sake of mutual survival. The sole survivor in a five-over-one apartment building in Georgia, a girl became the keystone to humanity's survival. Sara's fabulous System Apocalypse had just started. She has only one remark. It was anything but fabulous. * * Updates every Wednesday and Sunday.

Intercessor
"In my defense, I hadn't actually been trying to get hit by a truck." Artemis wakes up alone in a giant futuristic facility with no hint of where she is, how she got here, or what this means. Yet within two weeks, she is shot at with all the guns, a voice is beginning to speak in her head, and she is tormented by a seemingly sentient and possibly trollish space Roomba. Her only hope is Scarlet, another girl who is a complete stranger and almost shot her in the head. Oh, and she has fox ears and a tail. That is possibly worth mentioning. Artemis is not a nerd. She has never heard of the isekai genre, she can't fight worth a damn, and the blue-collar skills she learned at her community college are absolutely useless in a universe where technology is often indistinguishable from magic. She only has one thing going for her: A mysterious ability to interface with highly advanced technology left behind by the Antecessors, the long lost precursor civilization with technology that no one has been able to adequately replicate. Finding herself in a universe where civilizations are locked in an interstellar Cold War, where societies are so stratified that the aristocracy commands fleets of starships while slaves wash clothes with their hands, Artemis decides to run away from it all. She has a ship. She'll find a crew. She'll find a way to make a living at the fringes of civilization, learn how to cope with danger, and survive the affections of a universe where everyone is a cute girl with animal ears and tails. Welcome to Intercessor. AKA Kemonomimi Yuri Space Fantasy. Commissioned by Shaderic. Please leave your sense of shame at the door.
