Omega Summoner

Chapter 179: Adrian Awakes

Inside the room they came inside in was a hulking beast that was a cross between a polar bear and a gorilla. It had white pinkish fur and had six limbs. Its eyes were like pure black marbles and it had two bottom fangs. Its skin was pale blue but it was mostly covered with its fur and the only noticeable skin is the face.

The Yeti is constantly roaring towards the group making itself look ferocious. It would have succeeded but the chains that is binding it to a wall is not helping its cause. It just looked like a caged animal that is desperate and wants no one to bother it. The yeti did not even stretch its chains to its fullest as it seems something might happen if it did so.

The yeti even had wounds all over its body as there were scabs and bruises that indicated it was tortured. The group were still not out of the danger yet though as the frost wraiths are still going towards them.

”Hurry and close the door!” Levin Cloud shouted.

Solstice and Kabrakan immediately took each side of the door and immediately pushed it. The door was then slammed shut with a big slam but some of the frost wraiths managed to enter. Creepysoo, Vayu and Soleil did quick work of them though as only two managed to get inside and those two frost wraiths are already damaged.

When the door slammed shut, all of the party members received a system notification.

[You have arrived at the first safe zone.]

[Resting in a safe zone gives players double the rate of recovery for stamina, health and mana.]

[You may log out in a safe zone but you will not be sent outside the dungeon.]

When they saw the system notification, they were very doubtful. They questioned if this really was the safe zone because the yeti did not really make them feel safe at all. Apart from the unbearable roars, they were not really attacked by the yeti inside the room.

The yeti was just mostly roaring for them to not come close to it. Solstice though could see that the yeti had obvious fear in its eyes as she had observed caged animals in the real world. She was honestly amaze that the game could actually mimic the feeling of these animals. Now she knows why her little brother often brag about his summoned creatures or soulbounds.

”Do you guys know how to make that creature my mount?” Solstice asked.

”Huh? You like that but it is weak and it is full of wounds.” Levin Cloud said as he was shocked by Solsticeʼs unique choice of words.

”It was probably used by the liches for experimentation. I heard the blood of resilient creatures can create stronger undead. Take note that some of the liches are actually magicians that became undead on their own volition just to continue their research.

Some just wanted to understand the depths of magic while others just wanted to continue their diabolical research.” Creepysoo explained with a tone that indicated that he was not so childish when it comes to matters like this.

Others might see Creepysoo as an innocent kid but one must take note that he is the first player to become an undead. He must have seen things that are not that savory or pleasing to the eyes. He must have already killed lots of liches that tarnish the reputation of the undead.

”Regardless, I like the look in its eyes. I want it.” Solstice stated firmly.

”If you want it that much then we can only wait until Adrian could get it for you.” Levin Cloud stated.

”All we know is that only summoners can capture beasts and other living creatures. The mounts and other things that were available on the market before the summoner class was released are said to be provided by the NPC summoners. Those mounts and pets were basically the teasers for the Summoner job class.” Peridot added.

”So I just need Adrian to catch this guy or something then I could have him or her. I do not know the gender yet.” Solstice said as she eyed the yeti and it seems the yeti felt the gravitation of the former to it as a tingle was sent to its spine.

”It is more complicated than that but it is the general idea of it. Adrian will basically trap it in a special stone called a Companion Stone. You can also only have one mount or pet if you are not a summoner.” Kabrakan added another tidbit.

”Also if it dies in battle, you will need to wait for a day to be able to call it again unlike summoners who can reduce the cooldown of a fallen summoned creature. You must also treat it with care as it is still a living thing in this game at least. You will get the companion panel anyway once you get a mount anyway.” Levin Cloud stated the last few information regarding mounts.

”Okay then I will wait. So do we advance from here or just log back in once Adrian returns?” Levin Cloud asked the party.

”I vote that we retire for the moment. Although the road to here has become rather easier due to our skills, it is still mentally taxing every time that we have think of a plan.” Vayu inserted his opinion.

”I also vote for that as I am very hungry now. We should continue once Equinox has returned. It gives us more assurance to clear the dungeon. There are liches here in this dungeon and may be even ten of them.” Creepysoo added.

”Nine actually or lesser. Big sis Solstice already pummeled one remember?” Soleil replied.

”Regardless, the level will rise from here and we need someone who passed the level 100 mark especially for the boss.” Levin Cloud added.

The party then all agreed to reconvene later when Adrianʼs problem is solved. They wanted to rest too because not only had they have to use innovative ways to clear rooms but also they wanted to erase the image of Solstice beating of a lich. They really wanted to get a clear head before attempting the next rooms.

”Well then. I will say goodbye for now Snowy.” Solstice said as she bid goodbye to the yeti.

”You named it Snowy?” Levin Cloud asked.

”Why got a problem with that?” Solstice stated as she glared at Levin Cloud.

”No Maʼam!” Levin Cloud hurriedly replied and then immediately logged out for fear of angering the tigress.

=====

Adrian then suddenly see himself in a familiar sidewalk and he was walking with Marlon. He then bid goodbye to his best friend and is walking towards the direction of a store where he will be picked up by his parents. Nothing was out of the ordinary and he reached an intersection.

He is currently walking to a nearby crosswalk as he wanted to cross it so that he could take a shortcut. Across him is a little girl who was playing with her toy and her mother. The mother then picked up her phone as she received a call.

The mother told something to the little girl but Adrian did not hear because of the sound of car horns. Adrian was currently waiting for the traffic light to turn red before he crossed as that was what he is told to do. He did have the urge to cross the street because no vehicle is passing by the lane in front of him.

Adrian is currently looking in front of him when he saw that the toy that the little girl is now in the middle of the lane. The little girl then trudged towards her fallen toy while her mother was turned away from her child and is preoccupied with the call she was answering. It was supposed to be okay but then Adrian saw a bus speeding towards the lane of where the little girl is currently in.

Adrian did not know what came over him because he suddenly bolted from his location. He sped towards the little girl that was frozen in fear as the bus was coming near her. Adrian did not hear the honking of horns or even the little girlʼs cry as adrenaline rushed over his whole body.

The bus looks like it was decelerating but it was already about to hit the little girl. The mother finally caught up to what was happening dropped her phone in panic and had fear written all over her face. Adrian though managed to reach the little girl and carried her near the end of the lane but he realized it was not enough.

Adrian pushed the little girl in panic and he managed to push her towards her panicking mother. It would have been a great picture but the side of the bus managed to hit Adrian and he was sent fumbling away a few meters. His vision becoming blurry and blood gushing out of his head made Adrian faint.

After this dream or recounting of memories, Adrian who was lying on the hospital suddenly awoke from his sleep. His father was there and was slightly startled because the sudden jerk motion of his son. Adrianʼs father immediately called for Dr. Happy.
