Omega Summoner

Chapter 664: I Warned You

”You talk a lot of trash demon! Now die!” The leader of the soldiers stated as they charged towards Adrianʼs group.

The soldiers all charged at Adrianʼs group, but he did not seem afraid. The emotion that Adrian is now showing on his face right now is more of disappointment as he already warned them. Peridot and Saru went into combat mode as they saw that the soldiers are all charging towards them.

”Quantum Dispersion!” Adrian stated as he made the entire space in front of him explode.

Every soldier that charged at them got caught in the explosion and got flung towards the walls. Each soldier went flying to the Adamantium Lodestone walls and died upon being hit by them. Adrian could be seen having a stoic face as he did not want to actually kill them, but the situation called for it.

Peridot and Saru became stunned at what happened as the battle that they thought that will span for an hour finished in under a few seconds. The soldiers became particles of light as they got hit by the Adamantium Lodestones.

The soldiers that were tankier than the others had to endure two hits before they became particles of light. They had to undergo an enormous amount of pain before they died unlike those that died in one hit. The notification for defeating the NPCs is then received by bot Peridot and Adrian.

NPCs do not give much experience points and they are difficult to battle which is why they are usually avoided. They do give a higher chance of dropping extremely rare loot, but the cost far outweighs the reward.

”Well, that was anticlimactic.” Peridot stated as she wanted to test out a few spells in the battle.

”I agree, Mistress. Although, settling the fight early is better as we need to conserve strength for the others that will come. We cannot be in the maze all the time.” Saru stated as he led them to the next location.

”Seriously, next time can you give a heads up? I actually felt pity for them as that would be the most embarrassing and painful way to die here in Mt. Thunder.” Peridot stated as they are traversing the maze.

”I just made use of the unique terrain that we are in. Also, I did warn them, but they did not listen. The only reason that I am confident enough to speak is the fact that I could do what I did earlier.” Adrian replied.

Peridot also knew that side of Adrian as he will speak up or do something when he is confident that he could do well. He does not brag though as he hates bragging all the time due to the other types of people that he sees in social events that invite his father.

Th group encountered a lot of guards from the House of the Azure Dragon in the safe zones, but they all met the same fate. They all got taken out from being hit by a moving Adamantium Lodestone. Adrian did try to see what their reaction would be if the commander died first but they are extremely loyal to their house.

”Do all members of a house have that type of devotion?” Adrian asked as he thinks that blind devotion is not a healthy thing if you want to live long.

”It depends on the house as some houses prioritizes that they must survive but they must not endanger fellow members of their houses. The House of the Azure Dragon is one of the houses that prioritizes loyalty above all.

Even if they return alive, if the leader of their house found out that they brought shame to the house then they will be executed for treason. That has been their style ever since their house is created since the holy beast are busy sleeping most of the time.” Peridot answered.

”What do you mean by sleeping all the time?” Adrian asked as the Vermillion Bird looked energetic every opportunity that they meet.

”In order to maintain the territory and protect it from dangerous beasts, the holy beasts usually expand their power to the utmost. They are burned out in a sense which is why they mostly sleep for 16 hours every day.” Peridot explained which means that some things might be mishandled when the real sovereign is not watching.

”Mistress and Master Equinox, we have reached the end of the maze.” Saru stated as they are now on the other side of the room.

Adrian is about to say something when a loud rumble and the entire mountain suddenly shook. Adrian looked at Peridot and Saru for their reaction and he could see that even they are shocked by what suddenly happened.

”Is that normal?” Adrian asked as he is not familiar with the typical happenings in Mt. Thunder.

”Unfortunately, that is not normal. Something is definitely happening on top of us, but we do not know if it is directly above us or a few floors up. The mountain never shakes like that even if it is hit by lightning or heavy winds. Earthquakes do not even occur in this area as the array protects it.” Peridot exclaimed.

”Something is definitely happening. We have to hurry and find out.” Adrian stated as he commanded Sirius to revert to his true form.

Adrian then signaled Sirius to carry everyone on his back as they needed the speed. If the House of the Azure Dragon has already captured the Qilin then they will definitely do something to it. Adrian wanted the Qilin because it could be a great mount for Peridot.

Adrian is actually planning on increasing Peridotʼs fame in the eastern continent as this continent values honor and fame more than the central continent. Peridot would often tell them that the number of gifts that they receive during banquets is proportional to how famous or well-known they are.

”It would be nice to have an invisible hand in the eastern continent as the story seemed to point to here for the level 200 and above quests.” Adrian thought as he noticed that the central continent is more beginner friendly.

Adrian needed a new hunting ground as the central continent is already congested by the increasing player base. It will probably increase now that any player could become an owner of a territory and a king in the future. It seems that the advertisements that Pandemonium is pumping out is now working.

The group boarded Sirius and they blitzed through the area with ease. Whenever a horde of monsters greets them, Sirius would dive into the shadow realm and appear on the other side where the exit is closer.

The feeling of diving into pure darkness a bunch of times made Saru and Peridot dizzy. They almost let loose, but they knew that they must hold on in order to travel without stops. Adrian did not have a reaction as he already experienced this type of behavior multiple times when he is using his spatial spells on himself.

Sirius suddenly stopped when they could see a light coming from the exit. The loud sound of explosions and commands of someone could be heard. It seems that no one is guarding the exit because all of them are in battle.

Adrian told them to be sneaky which is why Peridot used his Misty Veil spell to shroud them. If Adrian used his Spirit Form Transformation, then they might be found out if there is someone that could see spirits on the other side. The group stepped out of the mountain simultaneously.

What greeted their eyes is the beautiful blue color of the moon, but their ears were greeted by the harsh sounds of explosions and loud commands of someone. Peridot then frowned upon seeing who is the one issuing the commands as it was the one that she did not want to meet.

”Why are you reacting like that? Is he bad news?” Adrian asked as Peridotʼs reaction is serious.

”He is Zhong Donghai. One of the most gifted from the House of the Azure Dragon and is fifth in line for succession. He also has a nasty attitude of torturing his enemies which is why I do not like him. He does not have the dignity of a commander.” Peridot stated.

”I can tell as the soldiers are all battered while some are just charging to their deaths. The only reason that they have not all died yet is due to the toughness of their soldiers.” Adrian stated as he could see the state of the soldiers putting their life on the line.

Whenever a tired soldier would retreat to the back, they would be whipped by Zhong Donghai. They would then be forced to participate in the battle until their last breath. The beast that the House of the Azure Dragon is facing is none other than the Qilin.

It seems that their speculations were spot on, but Adrian could see chains on its four feet and neck. He also noticed that the restriction of killing each other is not active.
