Knightmares, werebeast, giants and other beings I couldn't quite identify, marched their way out of the fog.
As the scene unfolded before us, I quickly took a peek at my current stats.

What? 228% Ability's Power, 115 Intelligence and 213% in Control? How? I tried to think back to any notifications that gave me these stats and the only thing I vaguely remembered was the title I received back when I reached level 10, before I entered this dungeon. I quickly went to my achievements tab and scroll to the title I'm looking for.
Ah, here it is... I arched an eyebrow at the title's name, 'what's mine is mine, what's your's is mine'.
Title: {What's mine is mine, what's your's is mine}
Description: Everything I possess is 'mine' and so does your's too.
+ 100 Ability's Power
+ 100 Intelligence
+ 100 Control
- 100 Enemies Kill Aura
100?! For ability's power, intelligence and control? Wouldn't that mean I would have +300 stability on my skills and overall stability of my stats? This was an incredible title but what is this -100 enemies kill aura? I wondered.
The information popped in front of me.
Passive trait: Kill Aura
Description: An aura emitted by the user for the intent to kill. All base stats increased by half of the user's current level on top of current overall base stats.
Oh my... wait so if it's -100 doesn't that mean, rather than an urge to stab someone in the back, it's now an urge to 'face slap' someone in the face? This would help us greatly against the hordes of shadow soldiers coming our way... with this newfound trump card, I went back to my stats tab.
Since the title, gave so much to 3 of my stats, I didn't have to use my 50 points on them. There are 9 stats, 3 of them have already been taken care off, so I only needed to split 50 points amongst the six. If I go 10 evenly distributes, then 2 of my stats will only get 5.
Hm... I decided that power and defense will take a backseat on this one so, I'll place 10 for preservation, 10 for agility, 10 for will and 10 for heart. The remaining 10 will be split into 5 for power and defense. My new stats now looked like this.

With my stats now finalised, I couldn't help but smile. I played so many games from RPG's to MMO's for me to get giddy about these stats.
Though I'm happy about my stats, there's still 64 enemies before us that's about to attack.
"So what's our plan for this one?" Asked Gunther.
"How many do you guys think there are?" Also asked Jemina apprehensively.
"There's sixty-four of them," I replied.
Jemina's eyes grew wide as she heard the number.
"Sixty-four?!"
I nodded.
Jemina gave me a warm smile but I could tell, she hid her fears behind it.
"I say we just tag-team them." Tavish responded a few moments later to Gunther's question. "Harlo and Gunther will do the same as they did with the last giants, with these new ones. Jemina, Jask, Bron and I would take on most of them, once Jask and Gunther finished with the giants, they then could help take on with the remaining ones. Boss will be our support in this and Lavira will be our overwatch. Now then, before we move on with this strategy, are there any questions?"
We shook our heads in response.
"Alright, then. Boss boost us."
I activated helping hands and a blue glow slowly surrounded the members of Baihu as they checked their gear.
Once the blue glow had fully encompassed them, Tavish ordered Harlo and Gunther to go first. On Tavish's order, Harlo dashed forward and Gunther followed closely behind him.
The two, like last time was in sync as they both jumped over the horde before them and Harlo took the first strike on the first giant's leg. He then moved upwards, hitting it's thigh, stomach and chest. Gunther followed suit as he struck the leg, the thigh, the stomach and then the chest. The two bounced around the giant until their combo hit was at x40.
As the first giant crumbled to the ground, the two then leaped to the next giant carrying their x40 combo hit and made a scratch on the first hit with Harlo's blade and then a chunk with Gunther's gauntlets.
Tavish nodded his head as he watched the display and then motioned his team to attack as well. Lavira stood next to me as she made her first future sight to the team that just left.
"Tavish move to right in 30 second as the werebeast will aim at you first, Jemina duck down in 10 seconds as a Knightmare has you as it's target, Jask leap back a bit in 20 seconds as a hammer will slam into you and Bron... eh a little puffy creature will try to eat you so try to do something about it."
"What do you mean, a little puffy creature will try to eat me?!" I heard Bron shout inside our heads. I then saw Bron's head turned around and looked at us but mainly at Lavira with quizzical eyes.
"Bron! Watch out, the creature is coming right in front of you!" Shouted Lavira with fear in her eyes.
As Bron turned his head right back to the front, a little puffy creature slammed into him. It's teeth tried to bite Bron's shoulder but Bron grabbed the little's creature head before the creature could even lick his shoulder.
It's mouth moved like a shark. The little puffy creature chomped it's razor sharp teeth inch by inch closer to Bron's shoulder. Bron tried to use his strength to push the creature back but it's face muscles was pushing forward at the same strength.
Soon it's friends joined in on the fun as five more of them rushed towards Bron.
"Oh no. Your not eating me!" Shouted Bron as he tried to hold off two with his other hand.
"Ouch!" A very tiny puffy creature tried to bite Bron's butt but Bron felt his butt was in danger, decided to thrust his lower half forward. This was good to save his arse but exposed his front... a giant puffy creature suddenly came charging and tackled his frontal area, pulling Bron down to the ground.
"Help!" Bron screamed but something strange happened. He hadn't felt any pain anywhere on his body, no blood or chucks missing from his body. He tilted his head down to check if his frontal area was alright and saw a big puffy creature on his private part. The creature that sat on his crotch area started to morph.
Before our very eyes, the creature turned into a very hot female figure. Her features aren't completely human but more alien like. She has thin stripes on her cheeks and webbed fingers and toes. Soon surrounded him, the other five creatures too morphed into female figures. A name and level then appeared above their heads.
{Sirebus Lvl 30}
Sirebus? I tried to rack my brain as to why this word sounded so familiar despite never hearing it before. No... it can be a mixture of Siren and Succubus? Could it? It was then the Sirebus eye's glowed purple as they surrounded Bron. Bron's head swerved around as he was slowly approached by five very seductive Sirebus and the biggest one on top of his body also moving up.
The one that is in front of him suddenly stopped and tilted her head as she stared directly into his eyes.
Her eyes widened as she noticed that her spell wasn't working on him. The others stopped as well, as they too felt that their spell wasn't working. I couldn't help Bron because he wasn't even in danger. I couldn't boost him since the effect was still active and I couldn't heal him since he wasn't hurt. Lavira who was next to me and saw the same thing I saw, didn't say a single word, her eyes glowed as she used her skill.
For a long moment all the Sirebus was at a standstill as they hovered around Bron. Suddenly, the Sirebus that was on top of him turned her head towards me. She then crawled off Bron though she turned her head every few second to look back at him.
She and the other Sirebus all tried to stand up but their legs gave up from the weight of their bodies. They all looked like Ariel when she too tried to walk for the first time. After a few attempts they gave up on the walking thing and instead morphed back to their puffy creature form and floated towards me. Once they arrived in front of me, they turned back to their human like form and knelt in front of me.
[Sirebus are willing to pledge their fealty to you. Do you accept? Y/N]
My eye's widened as the 6 Sirebus stared at me with soft pleading eyes. I didn't needed to decide and slowly nodded my head.
"Yes."
[You have accepted the Sirebus. Sirebus will now be on standby and await for the other Shadow legion to pledge fealty.]
What? I inwardly gasped as I read the notification. The other shadow legion will also pledge their fealty to me?
The six Sirebus once confirmed that they now have a new master, turned their heads back to Bron. They turned back to their puffy creature form and floated a quicker pace then they came to me to Bron and then in mid flight, turned back into their human like form and launched themselves at Bron.
I scratched my head as I tried to figure out what just happened. Bron gave me a quizzical look as he was being smothered by the Sirebus and I just shrugged. Bron though still looked confused turned his head back to the Sirebus that was now clinging onto him, with the biggest one on top of him which I assumed was now her 'spot' and nuzzled into him.
Bron conceded and placed a hand into the Sirebus's long wavy hair. It looks like Bron has gained a harem, inside a battlefield and with six hot female looking creatures that not a couple of moments ago were our enemies. Lavira looked at me and I gave her a smile. I honestly didn't know what to think but 'yay' we got new allies?
It was then a voice resounded around us.
{Sirebus! What do you ladies think you're doing? Fraternizing with the enemies? Traitors!}
The Sirebus who heard the voice instantly froze with fear in their eyes.
Bron who couldn't watch these girls shudder in fear, wrapped his arms around them in comfort. The girls pressed themselves into him and held onto him like he was the most important thing to them.
[Warning: Enemy approaching.]
[Final wave: {1/6} Demon Seductress Lucilia Hornborn has arrived. Defeat Demon Seductress Lucilia Hornborn. (0/1)]
A cylindrical beam of light appeared before us and a female shaped figure surrounded in black smoke walked out of the light. Her name and level displayed above her.
{Lucilia Hornborn Lvl 70}
