Omega Summoner

Chapter 145: Bluthafen

Adrian reappeared in the Paradox Planes. The first thing he does is head straight to Koronn since he might know of the poison used on the Tree of Life. He already arrived at the door and he was thrown inside before even knocking the door.

”Not Again.” Adrian thought.

Adrian is pushed to a black hole and he landed back to the floor made of a giant clock. He saw Koronn looking at him and floating like he once again did nothing wrong.

”So what is with the sudden visit kid?” Koronn asked.

Adrian knew that Koronn must find the subject interesting for him to move. This old man wants to be intrigued and bury himself in research. Adrian must present his issue in a very captivating way.

”I just wanted to present you with something that even you might not know.” Adrian teased.

”Ohoh! The great me. Not know what you might present? You underestimate me boy.” Koronn stated.

”Well…It is related to a tree and even a dryad does not know what it is. If a dryad that is called a forest guardian does not know then how will you do any better?” Adrian said with a helpless expression.

”You really underestimate me kid. I am second to none when it comes to knowledge. It is a duty of us protectors to be educated on all living things. Even my knowledge on plants would put any dryad to shame. Come on now and show me.” Koronn stated proudly.

Adrian was grinning inside but did not show it on his face. He then retrieved the vial containing the poison from his inventory.

”Hehe. This eccentric old man is finally very interested. Here it is but what would you give me if you did not know what it is?” Adrian said as he presented the vial containing the poison to Koronn.

”Nonsense. I would definitely tell what it is. If I could not then I would teach you magic.” Koronn said as he snatched the vial containing the poison and checked it. Adrian though was praying that Koronn did not know what it was which is bad for the mission but good for him.

Koronn then checked the vial containing the poison. At first, he had a confident expression. A few seconds later, Koronnʼs face became dark.

”So do you know what it is?” Adrian asked.

”I will try to test it. I will definitely find what substance this is. It is not enough for me to just observe it. Get back later and do whatever you kids do.” Koronn stated.

Koronn then flicked his wrist and a force seemed to carry Adrian to a vortex. The vortex swallowed Adrian and he reappeared at Koronnʼs doorstep.

”At least, I could focus on the crown fragments first. I really want that rare undead that the reward is talking about.” Adrian said as he went towards the spatial fracture sites.

Adrian was researching areas where there have been strange cases of undead popping out. He did that while having his snacks earlier on. He managed to get about ten areas on the forums. Eight areas were below level 100 so he could visit those. The last two sites are above level one hundred so he will only attempt that when he is near that level.

He teleported to the first three sites he marked that were in a field zone where level 50 monsters spawn. Despite doing hours of searching, there was no entrance to a dungeon. Only skeletons were spawning there. He concluded that it was just a place for newbies to get familiar with undead.

Adrian frequently checked up on Koronn but he was not let inside his home. It seems the old man was too focused on researching the poison. Adrian had to respect the elderʼs dedication to uncovering the unknown.

Adrian chose his fourth destination which is called Bluthafen. It is classified as a field zone but it looks more like an abandoned fishing town. This was not a popular field zone due to land dwelling monsters being scarce. The monsters here are mainly from the sea that is beside the town.

In this ghost town, players would experience the feeling of being watched. They also reported that water would drop on their necks when it was not even raining. Some players managed to stay and camped the area until night came.

The players who camped the area were shocked because activity became bustling at night. Mist that enveloped the sea rolled towards the town. A few moments later, groaning could be heard and undead emerged from the sea. They were overwhelmed due to the sheer volume and there was even an undead that could assassinate them when they become low health.

Others have tried to do what the previous players did but some were not successful. It seems that the event does not happen all the time. Adrian though was sure he would summon the event. He was sure because he took out the crown fragment and it had a reaction.

”It is almost night time for this area. The crown fragment only reacts when I point it at the sea. The undead who possess this crown fragment would definitely be at the sea.” Adrian muttered as he summoned all of his soulbounds.

The soulbounds stretched their limbs as it has been some time since they were all summoned out. Fortunately, this field zone was not that popular due to the drops and the experience gained. It is also called a low gain field dungeon due to it.

Adrian though was having an internal debacle because the next field zones after this one were very famous. He prays that the undead having the fragment was in a hidden dungeon. The reason Adrian knows about undead having the crown fragment was due to Elder Willow.

Elder Willow told him that the ones who retrieved the fragment fought a unique undead. The crown fragment seemed to induce some sort of evolution to undead. Adrian wanted to try what Elder Willow said but he does not want to accidentally use a fragment.

Adrian was sure that this undead that could assassinate players was holding the fragment. He had no reports in the forums that they subjugated it yet so Adrian could only hope. It is also said by other parties that they did not encounter this assassin undead so the first group was called liars.

”Night has finally come.” Adrian stated as he could see the sun setting and being replaced by the moon.

Adrian could visibly see the mist from the ocean rolling towards him at an eerie way. The mist is as high as his knee. A few minutes later, Adrian could hear the groaning sound that the others reported. Suddenly, figures started emerging from underwater.

Adrian had yet to fully see what they are because the moon was not full and he had low visibility. Adrian did what horror movie protagonists did and that was to investigate the activity. It usually did not end well for them but this was not a horror movie.

A few seconds later, Adrian could now see the entities that were emerging to the surface of the ocean water. They were indeed undead but they looked different. The undead emerging were covered in stuff that come from the sea like kelp or barnacles.

Adrian looked at the undead and they have yet to notice Adrian.

”It seems they have a small attack radius.” Adrian thought.

Adrian then heard something like a whistling sound coming from somewhere. He did not know where it was coming from so he looked at all directions. When Adrian was about to face the ocean once more, Kanlaon came swooping down to block something aimed towards his master.

Adrian immediately backed away and looked at the thing aimed at him. It was a harpoon that was made of a sharp bone that probably came from a sea creature. The harpoon had a rusted chain connected to it and it looked like it was about to be broken in any moment.

Adrian immediately summoned his Pysche Armament: Bow. He wanted to be on the safe side because the enemy had yet to show itself. Adrian was certain though as the crown fragment was giving off light which means the other crown fragment is nearby.

A few moments later, the harpoon was immediately pulled back. Adrian wanted to command Kanlaon to secure it but it happened all of a sudden. Kanlaon even got damaged by the attack he just blocked.

”Kanlaon, decimate the enemy forces. Sirius, look for any suspicious attackers that are hidden. Saena, immediately heal anyone that gets wounded.” Adrian commanded all of his soulbounds into battle mode.

”If that harpoon managed to hit me then it would have been very lethal. I might have also been impaled and dragged away. It even damaged Kanlaon which proves it is more or less near his level.” Adrian thought as he began assessing every bit of information that he has acquired.
