Omega Summoner

Chapter 435: Corrupted Sphinx

They entered the hole that the purple muscle wall created upon pulsating. Upon entering the room, two pulsing flesh spheres could be seen inside it. One was pulsating slowly compared to the other and the silhouettes inside could be seen due to the light.

Adrian could vaguely see the silhouettes and could tell that it might be the sphinxes. The silhouettes have the body of a lion and one of them had wings. Adrian saw Cristobal earlier, but the Mad Warlock disappeared.

Anastacia finally spoke up as she thought it was odd no enemy is coming after them. She then realized that a huge amount of power is being transferred to the spheres. Everyone in the room finally notices the strong energy being pumped in the spheres.

”Attack the spheres!” Anastacia stated in hastily manner as she figured out the trick to this room.

All the Evergreen guild members did as she ordered. Adrianʼs group looked at each other and trusted her decision and it was good that they did. As soon as they hit the flesh spheres, health bars suddenly appeared above the two flesh spheres. The two spheres are monsters that would only reveal their true nature upon being attacked.

Monster: Gestation Sphere

Level: 200

Health: 9,918,098,876 / 10, 000, 000, 000

Mana: None

Description: Weird monsters born from the Mad Warlockʼs experiments with the dead dark godʼs body. A special type of abomination that nurtures those that is inside it but also warps them to become corrupted. The longer an individual or monster is inside the Gestation Sphere then the more warped it will become.

Upon seeing the description and guessing what is inside, Adrian scrambled to kill the monsters. If the sphinxes become enemies, then it would be a major headache as they could manipulate time. Adrian decided to kill the one pulsing slower because it felt like it was close to hatching.

”Kanlaon and Sirius, focus all your attacks on the one at the left.” Adrian stated as he summoned his Axe Primordial Armament.

Adrian summoned the axe because it was the one with the rawest damage. The Evergreen guild handled the Gestation Sphere on the right while Adrianʼs group handled the one on the left. A shrill scream will be heard each time the Gestation Sphere is attacked.

The monsterʼs defense mechanism started to kick in as it grew tentacles. These tentacles were rather easy to cut off due to the monster before them not being the aggressive type. Adrianʼs anxiousness could be seen on his face as he hacked away without a care for his stamina.

When Adrianʼs attacks the Gestation Sphere, he would also leave about three space mines on it. He was dealing both physical and magical damage on the monster. Soleil and Vayu focused on the DPS while Creepysoo focused on lowering its defenses.

Levin Cloud would also use his limited pool of attack spells. He even used one of his epic skills called Death Blossom.

Levin Cloud still has five seeds in his inventory but he used the skill so he will not waste those. He planned on using those five seeds on the Mad Warlock. Fortunately, he can still conjure up one seed but cannot keep it in his inventory.

He already stacked up on seeds when he got the skill because it was convenient. He never knew when he will need these seeds, so he stacked up on them. The seeds were also considered an item that can be planted or be used in apothecary. He planned to sell them if he is short on money.

Levin Cloud jammed the black seed that he generated onto the Gestation Sphere. The seed was black in color and the had a small white skull in the middle. The seed also released this kind of deadly aura which would make one suggest that it is cursed.

Levin Cloud got this skill when he befriended a certain leshy that is made up of mushrooms living alone in the Whimsical Woods. For some odd reason, the old leshy liked him and gave him the skill book. This was also the first time that he saw the effect of the seed.

When he jammed the seed, it immediately took root. Vines started to spread around the Gestation sphere and covered it completely. The odd thing about the vines is that it was not affected by the attacks of others. Fire did not burn it, or wind could not cut it.

The vines seemed to like the mana that Creepysoo is providing it via curses. When the poisonous cloud filled with death energy touched the vines, it suddenly became thicker like the vines are on steroids. Adrian saw this and tried giving it nether energy, but the vine receded when it got it.

After a minute of attacking, a beautiful flower finally bloomed. The flower that bloomed looked like a chrysanthemum but black in color with a touch of white in the middle. Another minute passed by and another black flower bloomed. Soon all four flowers bloomed beautifully.

If the Gestation Sphere looked like a normal mound of earth, then it would have looked beautiful. Instead, the black flowers only made it looked even more horrifying. Levin Cloud soon advised his team to get away as the flowers will explode soon.

The Gestation Sphere is already below 20% health when they stopped attacking. The black flowers glowed in a bright white light and exploded. The explosion is more flower petals scattering in the wind rather than a loud boom. One last cry from the Gestation Sphere erupted before it popped like a balloon.

Upon popping the Gestation Sphere, the monster inside woke up and it was none other than the sphinx of the Sun Dias. Adrian knew that it was not the Sphinx of the Sands of Time because this one had a tail of a scorpion.

Monster: Corrupted Sphinx

Status: Weakened.
