Omega Summoner

Chapter 141: It’s Returning not Stealing

”What did you just say!?” Levin Cloud shouted.

”What? Itʼs not a big deal.” Adrian replied.

Noticing that his shout brought attention, Levin Cloud bowed to the others and apologized. He then sat back down and whispered to Adrian.

”You seriously are not thinking to break in and steal from the Church of Life are you?” Levin Cloud whispered while looking sideways.

”It is not stealing. I am merely taking back what rightfully belongs to the Undead King. Without the churchʼs permission of course.” Adrian said in a nonchalant tone as if it does not bother him.

”Bro, what you said right there that is the definition of stealing.” Levin Cloud said and sighed afterwards.

”I am returning. R-E-T-U-R-N-I-N-G.” Adrian stated fiercely.

”In any case, I could help you get in but you might not get out. Did you not see the doors? They are enchanted. You would need a proper token to access the treasury. Do you even know where it is hidden?” Levin Cloud started hurling non-stop questions at Adrian to which the latter did not appreciate.

”Calm down. I am telling you this because you will first scout the place for me.” Adrian said in a calm manner.

”You are making me an accomplice now?! Did you go insane? Forget about excommunicated. I could even be put to hang. If I get hanged, I will not be able to access the game for one whole month.” Levin Cloud berated.

”Really? There is something like that? Huh, you definitely learn something new every day.” Adrian said as he took a sip of his juice. Even in-game minors could not get alcoholic drinks. The age limit depends on the country of origin though.

”How can you be this calm? You do know it is pretty much impossible to go inside the treasury.” Levin Cloud said in a slightly angry tone as he thinks it was impossible.

”Well…” Adrian said.

”Well…what?” Levin Cloud asked.

”I pretty much snuck inside the Church of Light and stole...I mean retrieved the fragments from them.” Adrian said and he then took another sip of his juice.

”You what! I think I did not hear you clearly.” Levin Cloud said in a shocked tone.

”I said I retrieved the fragments from the Church of Light. Their Pope was not there though so you could have said I got a bit lucky. But that old woman still manage to kill me in the end though. Thankfully, I still have my free revive.” Adrian said as he finished his glass of juice.

”Dude! You just triggered a holy war then.” Levin Cloud said as he sighed and looked as if he gave up.

”Holy War? What do you mean by triggered a holy war?” Adrian asked as he genuinely did not know.

”Do you not read the priest section of the forums?” Levin Cloud asked.

”Nope. I could hardly read the summoner forums so why would I read a forum of something not associated with my class. I was really busy you know.” Adrian said as he ordered another glass of juice. He was really amazed by the replication of taste in a virtual world.

”Here watch the video. It is much easier to explain.” Levin Cloud said as he sent the link of the video to Adrian.

Adrian clicked the link when his juice arrived. He was sipping it while watching the video with a stoic expression as if he did nothing bad.

Adrian watched the video. The old woman, the Pope of the Church of Light as Adrian saw her age as 755 years old, was shouting something something about bringing justice or whatever. Adrian put it as 1.5x speed so it would speed up as it was a twenty minute video. Finally, the last sentences were said by the Pope.s

”Those dirty devils decided to ally themselves with the undead. We, the Church of Light, shall not tolerate this for mankind. We shall declare a holy war upon the devils and the undead!” The Pope of the Church of light shouted to which the denizens of Sanctus rejoiced upon hearing.

”Jeez. It is not like I stole other treasures. I mean retrieved other treasures. Stupid Angels.” Adrian grumbled as he felt sorry for the devils and undead caught in the aftermath of his deed.

”What did you just say?” Levin Cloud asked as he heard something intriguing.

”I did not retrieve other treasures?” Adrian said.

”Not that. The one after that.” Levin Cloud said with a bit of a frustrated tone.

”Oh! I said stupid angels.” Adrian replied.

”What do you mean by that?” Levin Cloud asked.

”Oh! I forgot to tell you. The high ranking officials of the Church of Light are Angelus or angels if you wannabe generic.” Adrian said as he ordered another glass of juice but another flavor.

Levin Cloudʼs mind was blown by the information he received. Not even the priest players from the Church of Light know that information. At least, it was not posted in the priest forums. If this information was real then there would be a massive influx of wannabe Church of Light priests from the players.

Who doesnʼt like becoming an angel? In every media, they are said to be immensely beautiful and powerful. Every girl player and male player would definitely want to become one. What he did not understand though was Adrianʼs resentment of them.

”Why do you dislike angels anyway?” Levin Cloud asked.

”They are just a race with a big head and not much else. I got attacked immediately and that old woman even said nasty things about me.” Adrian said as he grumbled.

”You did steal from them though.” Levin Cloud rebutted.

”Anyways, so do I have your cooperation?” Adrian said to change the subject.

”Fine. If I do not help you then I will not be called your best friend.” Levin Cloud said as he sighed.

Adrian passed him the fragment and told his best friend to find the route. If he deems it to dangerous then he can go back and report to Adrian. Levin Cloud the rose from his seat and went towards the Church of Life main Cathedral.

”I know that you have been observing us for quite a while. So why not stop hiding from me.” Adrian said.

After Adrian said that, the elf managing the counter closed the door. The other elves that were being joyous stopped what they were doing and looked at Adrian. It was as if the elves in the pub were only previously acting.

A few seconds later, a pair of green eyes were seen on the tree wall. A beautiful lady that had pointed ears and leaves swirling around her emerged. She wore a dress made of leaves patched together and had some vines coiled up in both her arms and legs.

The elves inside the pub then bowed towards her as if she was royalty.

”I hope I was not rude, Champion of the Twin Gods. My name is Makiling and I am a dryad. It is very nice to meet you.” The lady who introduced herself as Makiling said as she curtsied.

”It is very rare for me to see a dryad here in Neo Alfheim. I thought all of your kin are in Alfheim.” Adrian said as he gestured her to sit.

Makiling sat in front of Adrian but she did not want to utter a word. She was probably waiting for Adrian to ask him.

Adrian sighed and finally asked, ”So there must be a reason that you want me to meet me in person? I hope it is not very troublesome.”

The dryad Makiling looked at Adrian with a sad expression. Adrian only sighed and said, ”Fine. Just tell me what is the problem but do not expect much from me.”

The dryad then smiled a bit and told Adrian her problem.

”The problem is very big Champion Equinox. The world tree here at Neo Alfheim, where I am rooted, is sick.” Makiling said while she stopped herself from crying.

”Can you please elaborate? I do not know the customs of your race.” Adrian stated and already expecting a massive headache from the mission that will be given.

”I am sorry. I will explain it thoroughly. World trees are a special existence. Usually, hundreds of dryads or leshies would tend to it depending on the size of the tree. Sadly, only I am currently tending to the world tree here despite it not being enormous. It is very taxing but I could manage.” Makiling stated.

”But there seems to be a problem?” Adrian asked.

”You are correct. A few days ago, someone poisoned the tree. I did not manage to catch the person but it might have been an inside job. Due to me being rooted to the tree, if it dies then I die as well.” Makiling said in a grave tone.

”I think this is not about you staying alive is it?” Adrian asked.

”If the tree dies then all of Neo Alfheim dies as well. The protection that the tree gives to its people will vanish and they would no longer become immune to minor diseases or pests. If the world tree of this world dies then the dimensional barrier will weaken.” Makiling stated in a grave but serious tone.
