Omega Summoner

Chapter 210: Leads on Valar

After the Halloween event, Adrian finally grinded enough levels for Charon as it manage to reach level 85. The odd thing is that the little skeleton ghost thing did not increase his health but only the mana increased. He really could not predict how to make the little rascal evolve.

Adrian and his soulbounds also increased their levels due to the grinding but a two times experience booster with only a few days is not enough to skyrocket oneʼs level to a hundred. Charon also has a high experience bar like Kanlaon so he needs more experience than a regular monster.

Adrian is currently chilling and looking at the thing he exchanged for at the Halloween event. He had to collect about ten thousand candies in order to get the one time purchase item there. He exchanged an item for a three times experience multiplier that has a duration of one day.

He would activate this item when he goes into a raid as it is only applicable to himself and not the entire party. It is a good exchange for all the horror he experienced. When he ran the dungeon again, there were different conditions in for each sudden quest so that the dungeon does not feel repetitive. He suddenly received a chat from Creepysoo.

Creepysoo: Big Brother, are you free now? Or are you searching for the demigod blacksmith?

Equinox: I am currently free right now but I want to start the search after I rested up quite a bit.

Creepysoo: Can you help me for a moment then? I think we have a lead where Valar is being held captive.

Equinox: No problem. Where are you right now?

Creepysoo: I am at the southwest part of the empire. I am currently hiding at a location called Wayward Mountains.

Equinox: Wait for me then. I am going immediately.

Adrian then immediately headed towards the location Creepysoo told him to come to. Even he is interested on someone who managed to disable a high ranking NPC. From Creepysooʼs description, the perpetrator looked like it is a player and not another NPC.

In a decrepit makeshift cave, a hooded figure is seen with a being that has four arms that is currently shackled. The hooded figure can be seen torturing the shacked being but it seems the shackled being does not feel pain. Despite him using all kinds of tools, the shackled being does not even utter a word or show signs of pain.

”Why are you playing so hard to crack? I am pretty sure the Seed of Eternal Pain I planted on you is making you feel extreme pain despite you being an undead.” The hooded figure stated with a smile on his face.

The shackled figure is Valar and he is currently channeling all his will not to scream in intense pain. The Seed of Eternal Pain that is inserted in his spine should be at its middle stages by now. The pain he should be feeling right now is akin to being electrocuted by a thousand watts.

He is bearing with the pain because he knew that if he speaks then it would be over for him. The herald of the dark gods that is in front of him will definitely do something more to make him speak the truth. The Undead King explicitly told them that they will revive by his side even if they die at the hands of heralds.

They will only truly perish if a god or dark god would kill them personally. Valar thought that the herald in front of him will kill him back then but who would have thought he would take him. Valar also thought that he could easily escape but it seems the current herald of the dark gods is meticulous.

The herald of the dark gods, Eldritch, even used chains that weakens anyone by 50% of their strength. To be extremely sure, he even planted a Seed of Eternal Pain at Valarʼs spine. Even undead fear that seed because it is said to make them feel pain that they have been numbed because of their unique racial characteristics.

”You know it is getting boring if you do not speak or even react.” Eldritch stated as he is now choosing another torture weapon to use.

Valar is still tight lipped and refused to answer. Eldritch finally gave up trying to make the Ghoul Asura speak so he tried a different approach. He threw away the weapon that he just picked up and faced the Ghoul Asura that is bound in the chains he is given by a certain dark god.

”As long as you tell me where the Undead King is hiding then I will make you the new undead king. Do you not want to become the most powerful undead?” Eldritch said in a tone that could tempt anyone.

”Hahaha!” Valar suddenly laughed.

”Why are you laughing did I say something funny? I did not know that I could be a comedian.” Eldritch stated but deep inside he is pissed off because the undead in front of him dare mock him with its laughter.

”You think I follow the Undead King because he is more powerful than me. If you think that way herald of the dark gods then you must live a very sad life to not know anything of loyalty.” Valar finally broke his silence and mocked Eldritch.

”You think I live a sad life just because I know nothing of the word loyalty? Loyalty will not even fill your belly when you are hungry nor can it save you from danger. You can only trust yourself and only yourself.” Eldritch stated with a tone that had a bit of anger mixed in but he still controlled his emotions.

Eldritch believes that showing raw emotions is a sign of weakness. He uses his emotions as a weapon to get what he wants while he uses the emotions of others to benefit himself. Valar no longer bothered replying to Eldritch as he knew that he has spoken enough.

”You speak of loyalty yet that undead king of yours has yet to send people to find you. Now you know that loyalty is nothing but a fleeting sentiment whenever you are useful.” Eldritch stated as he took something from his inventory.

Eldritch took out something like a seed that is the size of a palm. The seed had three eyes and five mouths with sharp teeth. Valar recognizes this as this is the Seed of Eternal Pain that he was injected with previously.

”I guess the pain is not enough yet so maybe I should add another one.” Eldritch stated as he walked closer to Valar but a sudden explosion from the entrance of the room they are in caught him off guard which made him drop the seed.

”I told you not to be too excited. Our cover might be blown.” A voice sounded.

”Sorry, big brother. It seems I got too carried away.” A different voice replied but Valar recognizes this voice.

”The Prince” Valar thought as his eyes suddenly widen.
