Omega Summoner

Chapter 280: Vermillion Bird

Due to Adrian forcefully opening the temporal rift, it was not stable enough and showed him details of the past. He saw a vision of a hooded individual helping Chidaide in obtaining the Soul Reflecting Mirror that is sealed inside what looked like a Shinto shrine.

He also saw Chidaide forcefully bonding with the Psyche Armament because it kept rejecting him. Chidaide finally managed to bond with the Psyche Armament but he needed to fuse it with his soul which should not be the case.

The Psyche Armament should be an extension of the soul in order to perfectly utilize it. The way that Chidaide used his soul as an anchor is just sloppy and the results is clear as he died after the mirror dimension broke.

Adrian then saw a vision of Chidaide utilizing the mirror to absorb the souls of innocent people who come and pray to the shrine that the fake monk started. It seems that Chidaide did perform some healings but it was all a show. Adrian is showed visions that Chidaide was only absorbing the sickness and transferring them to children of the slums.

The next vision that Adrian got is Chidaide finally amassing enough power using innocent souls. He used that power to split the soul of the divine beast which is the Vermillion Bird. If he did not do that, his soul would have paid the consequence as a single soul is not enough to split the soul of something born of godly blood.

Adrian saw the spell that Chidaide used and he is already thinking of a way to reverse it. It seemed that the fake monk used the power of the dark god he worship to finish the spell that he used for separating the Vermillion Birdʼs soul.

Adrianʼs last vision is Chidaide successfully splitting the soul of the Vermillion Beast and sealing the two split souls below the shrine. He also saw that it was only after Shangri-La was destroyed and a hundred years passed when the two guardian birds was released from their seal.

Adrian is chucked out of the temporal rift before it collapsed and he successfully returned to the present but it seems that the two guardian birds are now weak. The two guardian birds look like they are passed out due to being weak but Adrian could see something different. The soul of the two guardian birds are waning and a simple attack on their soul would kill them completely.

Adrian willed the Soul Reflecting Mirror to activate and it did. The mirror now holds a different appearance since it is now bonded with Adrian. The front part is still a clear mirror without any imperfection but the back has a demon eye looking to and fro like it is alive.

The edges of the mirror is also coated with a dragon scale like texture while having four demon wings at the cardinal directions. It has now taken a different appearance because of Adrian. It is now completely his but he still needs to fix the situation quickly.

Adrian needed some sort of sacrifice to make the spell work and he knew what to sacrifice. He will use the energy that the two guardian birds gave him but he also needed divine intervention. He needed a way to communicate with the twin gods but the veil cast by the divine beasts in the eastern continent is strong.

Although the veil is currently weak in the southern part of the eastern continent, it is still effective so Adrian had to bypass space. He will get notice but he had to complete his quest. It does not matter to him anyway because he is already banned. What else could they do? Lock in away?

Adrian had approximately ten minutes before he gets detected. It was enough time to perform the spell to complete his quest. Adrian willed the mirror to come close to him. He then looked at the sky and blew away the veil that blocked the view of the gods.

A large breaking sound is heard all throughout the eastern continent and the influential powers started to flock towards the location. Adrian started to pray for assistance from the twin gods because they are the most helpful in this situation.

The God of Death Abaddon rules over souls while the Goddess of Life Gaea rules over life so that the two souls will be reborn once fused. The prayer is successful because the twin gods can easily hear their champion as long as they are not hindered.

[You have been blessed by the God of Death Abaddon.]

[You have been blessed by the Goddess of Life Gaea.]

Adrian then activated the mirror as he held the mirror with both his hands.

”From one you became two…” Adrian stated and the mirror divided in to two.

”Your souls purposefully separated from you and now I have come to undo what has been done.” Adrian stated and the two mirrors then flew to the two guardian birds that are lying on the ground.

”Surrender your will to me in order to return you to your prime.” Adrian stated and the two guardian birds did as he told and gave up resisting the pull of the mirror. It seems that the mirror gave them a trauma so they unconsciously resisted its allure.

The mirror then sucked the two guardian birds inside of it. One mirror radiated a blazing aura indicating that the phoenix is locked inside. The other mirror emitted a frosty aura indicating that the cryophoenix is locked inside.

”By the blessings of the twin gods who rule over reincarnation. I sacrifice the power that you have given me in order to revive you to your past selves.” Adrian stated and the power given to him by the two guardian birds disappeared and is absorbed by the mirror.

”May the two halves become one!” Adrian chanted and the two mirrors floating in the air started to slowly spin.

The slowly spinning mirrors then collided with each other but the two mirrors did not break each other. The two mirrors started to fuse instead in order to become one. The fusion of the two mirrors emitted a high frequency sound that also set off a shockwave but Adrian is unaffected.

The shockwave affected the ones charging towards the location instead. The only downside is that the other divine beast opened their eyes from their sleep as they now went to the location of the shockwave. Adrian did not know the headache that is coming towards his way.

Adrian is not thinking of what trouble is coming his way because the mirror started to emit flames that is both hot and cold. The most beautiful thing that Adrian witnessed is that the mirror also started emitting rainbows.

In a burst of flames of different colors, the Vermillion Birds once again takes flight as it emitted a screech of delight that is once again back in the world.

A world message is heard by all of those present.

[The Vermillion Bird has regained its might. Those that revere it will once again gain power.]

Adrian also got another message and it is a new title.

[You have gained the title Friend of a Divine Beast.]
