Omega Summoner

Chapter 667: Qilin III

”You say investment like I am some project that needs to be advertised or something.” Peridot stated with a bit of anger as she does not like being likened to a thing.

”Nice analogy. That is actually my plan. You need to dominate or at least gain fame in the eastern continent for my investment to be successful. Why do you not like a Qilin as a companion? I can give it to someone else if you want.” Adrian stated which made Peridot panic.

”I did not say that I do not like it, but I just hate being looked at like an object that is all.” Peridot stated as deep down she wanted a companion that does not cower before her.

Peridot has been introduced to various mounts by the House of Creation, but she is the daughter of the leader of the house which meant her blood is not normal. Normal and rare beast all cower before her which makes them unsuitable to become her mount while beasts that are more powerful than those do not like to be under anyone.

”You talk about me as if I am invisible here!” The Qilin suddenly stated its voice rumbled like thunder and the flames covering its body ignited with more fury.

”We better not anger the Qilin, Mistress and Master Equinox.” Saru stated as he almost responded to the threat almost immediately as the sharp killing intent received by his body made him reflexively respond.

Even Sirius, who is in humanoid form, growled at the Qilin as he returned back to his original form. Even the Qilin is shocked from the appearance of Sirius as it is a beast that is comparable to it or maybe even more. The Qilinʼs attitude may not have improved, but he looked at the demon in a new light.

”Sorry about that. We just got carried away from our conversation but my offer to you is very beneficial though. Seeing that you are tied to this very mountain itself and will not be able to leave without my intervention.

Those that attacked you earlier will try again but they will not be able to defeat you. You draw power from the mountain itself while the mountain also draws some of its powers from you. As long as you are connected to this mountain, you will never really die from attacks of outsiders.” Adrian stated as he revealed information that should only be known to the Qilin.

”Who sent you here!? If you do not tell me then I will turn your body into ash using my lightning fire.” The Qilin stated as it emitted killing intent that slightly suffocated Saru.

”No one sent me here. I am a little bit special when it comes to seeing the souls of other being after all.” Adrian stated as his eyes reflected on the eyes of the Qilin.

The Qilin could not explain why but he felt like the demonʼs eyes are definitely not normal and more out of this world. It calmed his soul somehow but at the same time reminded him of the sadness he feels from being restrained to this mountain.

”Do not give me false hope, Demon. The one who locked me in here is none other than an Array Master. He might have disappeared now as he did not kill me to get my core but no Array Master is alive at this vey continent.

If an Array Master were alive then they would have taken control of this mountain with vast resources. Those Array Masters are one of the greediest individuals that I have encountered in my long life. He imprisoned me here when I was just about a hundred years old.

To think that he treated me like cattle that needed to be nourished. Too bad…he disappeared before being able to harvest my core that he went so far to nourish.” The Qilin stated as it told the group how it got captured.

”Are you looking down on me just because I am a demon? I may not be an Array Master, but I am a Scribe. I also know of a loophole in order to set you free from this mountain, but it will also bound you to another.” Adrian stated with confidence as he could read the formation that is used on the Qilin.

”Do what you want but do not get my hopes up. I do not believe that you have the power to break me from these chains.” The Qilin stated as it laid down to rest its body.

”I can free you, but you will be tied to my friend over there who is a Ryujin.” Adrian stated but he is not a hundred percent sure of the odds of him succeeding but he is fairly confident.

”If you can free me then I will not oppose serving her as she has the freedom to travel the world. I would rather serve someone that can roam around than be locked up in this place for eternity and wait for my death.” The Qilin stated which made Adrian smile.

”It finally made an oath.” Adrian thought to himself as he smiled.

Making an oath is sacred to the inhabitants of the eastern continent. Be it monster or human, making an oath means that you are putting a promise on your soul. The Qilin will definitely not back down now when it made the oath.

Adrian actually manipulated his words correctly in order toa arrive to this conclusion. The monster must be willing in order for the spell misdirection that he will attempt. Now all he has to do is study the whole array formation that is affecting the Qilin. He has a special stone that he can use as a catalyst for the transfer of bondage after all.

”I need to study the formation which means that you guys need to stall the soldiers if they come to observe the Qilin. You must not let them know that we are here at all costs.” Adrian stated.
