Talent Awakening: I, the Weakest Awakened, Start with Dragonfire Spell

Sure enough, it didn't take long before the monsters fell silent after the last few glass containers shattered.

The final container held a disturbing assembly: a human corpse, a tentacled creature, a monster resembling an eel one might find in a grimy sewer, and a singular eyeball.

A collective retch echoed through the room.

Many students, who had never witnessed such a scene, began to gag, Abby included.

But what was even more spine-chilling was that these creatures did not attack Howard, Caitlin, and the others.

Instead, they began to converge, and under the watchful eyes of the other monsters and Howard's group, they merged into one entity.

Their pupils constricted in shock, leaving Howard and the rest dumbfounded.

It was beyond comprehension.

Four monsters, seemingly disparate, had fused together.

The human corpse became the central body, its arms wrapped by the eel-like creature, making them appear as menacing spikes.

The tentacled creature took over its head, leaving only a pair of eyes visible.

As for the eerie giant eyeball, it disturbingly burrowed into the corpse's mouth, rolled down its throat, and started to expand.

With a gruesome burst, the eyeball ruptured through the chest of the corpse.

Thankfully, the tentacles from the head quickly spread downward, mending the gaping wound.

The large eyeball continued to move within the body, causing it to swell, eventually positioning itself on the corpse's shoulder, breaking through the skin, attached by sinew and flesh.

What stood before the group was a grotesque creature wrapped in black tentacles, a giant eyeball perched on its shoulder, with its human hands replaced by two wriggling worm-like entities.

The sight of such a monster startled not just the elite team students but even the battle-hardened attendants, who couldn't help but gulp down their fear.

Only Howard, armed with two SS-level skills and unyielding confidence, remained unfazed, quickly scanning the bizarre monster's attributes.

[Fusion Test Subject]

[Level: 60]

[Tier: Gold]

[Description: The final product of a series of experiments. Regrettably, the project was forced to terminate before it could succeed. The original initiator sealed all experimental bodies and submerged the ruins underwater, nurturing the hope to reopen the experiments in the future, a future that never came.]

[HP: 91000/91000]

[Attack Power: 4886–5667]

[Defense Value: 5000]

[Skills: Curse Spike, Death Ray, Nightmare Gaze, Terror Ensnare]

Upon reviewing the four sinister-sounding skills, Howard and Caitlin exchanged worried glances.

"Damn it, a level 60 Gold-tier BOSS. These attributes indicate it won't be an easy fight," Howard cursed, visibly rattled by the formidable specifications outlined before them.

"It's alright; you focus on control while my dear and I focus on the attack. We should be able to take it down!" Caitlin asserted firmly. "It all depends on whether your lightning can paralyze this monster."

Indeed, there was a chance that lightning attacks could induce a paralyzed state in the target, rendering it immobile.

If they could trigger paralysis multiple times, even a Gold-tier BOSS with impressive attributes might fall at their hands.

"My abilities aren't unlimited, you know," Glyn remarked with a twitch at the corner of his mouth.

He was already running low on MP, having used most of his recovery potions to clear out the smaller monsters earlier.

"I have potions here!"

"Glyn, I have ten bottles of intermediate mana potions here," another student chimed in.

Under the imminent threat to their lives, the other students began to offer up the potions they had brought with them.

Glyn felt a warmth in his heart at their offers, his face relaxing somewhat.

But the grotesque Fusion Test Subject had already initiated its attack.

Its massive body stomped on the ground, creating a deep, resonating sound.

Simultaneously, the rest of the monsters, as if responding to a battle horn, launched their attacks.

"Fiery Ring!"

Howard saw a horde of monsters approaching from all directions and immediately commanded the firedragon to unleash its skills.

In an instant, flames sprayed out, forming into spiraling Fiery Rings that flew out to meet the oncoming multitude of monsters.

Almost instantly, the group of monsters collided with the Fiery Rings.

The blazing flames burst forth, and in moments, the monsters were emitting shrieks of agony, engulfed in fire before falling to the ground one after another.

However, while Howard's firedragon managed to hold back the swarm of monsters, it couldn't stop the Fusion Test Subject.

When the Fusion Test Subject came into contact with a Fiery Ring, the tentacles on its body writhed, surprisingly enveloping its entire form, shielding it from the flames.

The flames couldn't inflict any harm on the tentacles; they only burned for a few seconds before dissipating.

Having breached the Fiery Rings, the Fusion Test Subject charged towards Howard like a deity of death unleashed.

"Great Thor, please bring down divine punishment to cleanse the world of all evil forces."

"Divine Thunderstrike!"

Fortunately, Glyn reacted in time, bringing his hands together and quickly reciting a chant.

Lightning flickered, reaching the Fusion Test Subject before it could get any closer, striking fiercely upon its forehead.

It had to be said that lightning held a significant restraining power over such bizarre monsters.

Even though Glyn was at a lower level compared to the Fusion Test Subject, the moment the thunder struck, the creature was enveloped in a current of lightning, paralyzing it on the spot.

Seizing this golden opportunity, both Howard and Caitlin sprung into action.

Under Howard's control, the firedragon dived down aggressively, its claws, engulfed in searing flames, pierced straight into the Fusion Test Subject's chest.

However, as the fiery claws penetrated, the eerie tentacles began to squirm like vines, forming a massive net in an attempt to ensnare the firedragon's piercing claws.

Just in time, Caitlin flashed forward, her silver blade swiftly slashing through the writhing tentacles.

In her rapid assault, the blade demonstrated unmatched sharpness, severing the tentacles cleanly and causing them to fall to the ground.

Yet what was strange was that even when the tentacles had been severed and fallen to the ground, they continued to wriggle as if they were still alive, even attempting to ensnare Caitlin's ankles.

The strength of Caitlin's class lay in her movement speed and attack rate; if she were to be caught, her fate would be sealed.

Swiftly assessing the situation, Caitlin rapidly retreated, evading the squirming tentacles and shouted, "Darling, you control the firedragon to fight it head-on; Glyn will be in charge of control, I'll harry their ranks!"

"Yes, and if you have other Summoned Beasts, call them out too!"

As her words fell, Howard couldn't help but feel helpless.

He was not a summoner!

Even though he had acquired an enchanted boar skill book from Abby, summoning such a beast wouldn't significantly influence the battle dynamics.

Surely, he couldn't unleash two major SS-level skills directly against the Fusion Test Subject, could he?

That would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!
