Omega Summoner

Chapter 670: I Told the Truth

She then suddenly scrunched her face as she suddenly became nervous. She does not want to believe it but from her perspective, she cannot break the array by herself. The fear of the whole mountain exploding suddenly echoed inside of her head. She did not want to die as she is a promising Charm Master.

She still has a bright future ahead of her and she does not want to bet on her life for this twisted young master.

The Charm Master looked back at Zhong Donghai and reported what she found out. She gathered her courage as she does not want to say that she is lacking but she must save her life here. If she attempted to even touch the array and made a mistake, she would immediately die from the backlash.

Adrian also factored this in as he knows that he can die with one mistake. He is confident as he still has his revive just in case and he could also Rewind the time on himself. He could write the magic circle on the Cube of Paradox and activate it when he gets damaged.

”Young Master, I have grave news.” The Charm Master stated as she looked back at the angry Zhong Donghai.

”Speak.” Zhong Donghai stated.

”I cannot destroy this array by myself. If I make a mistake, the whole mountain will indeed explode. It seems that the demon was indeed telling the truth when he said that the mountain will explode with one mistake.

I implore your wise mind that we get reinforcement. We need at least two more Charm Masters in order for the array to be lifted perfectly and for you to trap the Qilin. The amount of energy that the array possesses is so enormous that my body will immediately disintegrate when I try to lift it.

If that happens, I will die and will set the defensive mechanism of the array. It is set to explode with just one change in its structure. I am sorry for my lack of strength, young master.” The female Charm Master stated as she will not be able to lift the array safely.

”What should we do, Big Brother?” Lan asked as they only have one Charm Master in their group at the moment. There are very few Charm Masters in the eastern continent and each successor is only appointed one by the head of the house.

”Is there no other way?” Zhong Donghai stated as he did not want to stop since he already sacrificed too much for this mission.

”We could sacrifice the Orb of the Azure Dragon. It might be strong enough to hold the enormous power of the array, but I am not absolutely sure.” The female Charm Master suggested.

She might not be confident if she will use her body as the point of power but if she used the relic then she might be successful. She suggested it but even she is not confident about succeeding even with the assistance of the Orb of the Azure Dragon.

She is also not that stupid to sacrifice a relic of the House of the Azure Dragon. She will definitely get executed even if she does become successful as she wasted a relic that is the symbol of the house. Even Zhong Donghai knew that he could not easily sacrifice the treasure without permission from the head of the house.

This mission that he started is actually a secret from the head of the house. If the head of the House of the Azure Dragon knew that there is a Qilin in Mt. Thunder, then he would command them to get it for himself. The current head of the house might be charismatic, but he is also greedy.

The current head of the House of the Azure Dragon wanted everything for himself even if he had to fight his brothers for it. Zhong Donghai came across this information by chance as he intercepted one of the scouts that is employed by the house.

Needless to say, the scout is no longer alive as he needed the information to be only known to him. He was also elaborate enough to bribe every person that he encountered in Mt. Thunder. He has invested so much into this mission that he did not want to stop but if the exchange is his life, then he needs an alternative.

”It seems that we are left with no choice but to ask help from our uncle. He has two more charm masters under his protection. Unlike the current head, our uncle wants us to succeed in being the new successor.

I will personally fetch the two Charm Masters. Half of you will remain here to guard the Qilin. If the demon and his friends show up, immediately kill them without mercy. Lan, I will leave you in charge of this area.” Zhong Donghai stated as he immediately set off to get two more Charm Masters.

The female Charm Master sighed with relief as she will not forfeit her life immediately by trying to unveil the array by herself. She assessed the array carefully in order to know the exact number of Charm Masters needed to unveil the array.

”They are now leaving. Should we attack?” Peridot asked as they are currently on a mirror platform up above in the clouds. She is also protecting them from the lightning by redirecting it. If she did lose focus, then Adrian would use a mirror to block the incoming lightning strike.

”I already set up the location of the spell. I just need to activate it and they would be transported to a different to a new location. The new skill that I picked up is very handy for situations like this. The only downside is that the mana cost is huge.” Adrian stated as he set up the Translocation spell on the area where the members of the House of the Azure Dragon is currently guarding.

”What are you waiting for then? Activate it and send those people flying already.” Peridot stated as she became impatient.

”I am still setting up the other location. Also, we should wait for Zhong Donghai and his crew to leave Mt. Thunder. He still has another ace up his sleeve or else he would not go for the alternative. It seems he has utmost confidence on that Charm Master.” Adrian stated as he wanted to use the spell in an opportune time.

”She is very strong and talented for a Charm Master that is that young. Normally, Charm Masters are already in their old age when they reach the mastery she has.” Saru stated as he managed to observe the prowess of the Charm Master.

Adrian waited for Zhong Donghai to leave the periphery of Mt. Thunder. He is easily able to do that because of his mirrors that are providing him vision of the area in Mt. Thunder. When Adrian saw that Zhong Donghai is no longer in the vicinity, he executed his plan as all he needed was time for him to transfer the Qilin to Peridot.

Adrian chose the foot of the mountain as the other part of the Translocation spell. He needed as much time as possible because the array is not something that can be rearranged fast. He then appeared in front of Lan and her house members.

”Did you miss me?” Adrian asked in a casual but demeaning tone.

”Who do you think missed you, filthy demon? Everyone keep your guards up, the other two are not visible.” Lan commanded the whole group that is left.

The soldiers of the House of the Azure Dragon all grouped up together as they needed to be prepared just in case there is a sneak attack. They did not know that they fell into Adrianʼs trap. The Charm Master noticed the smile on Adrianʼs face and tried to do something, but she was too late.

”Translocation!” Adrian shouted as he activated the magic circle below the soldiers. The magic circle suddenly appeared and the whole group vanished. The next thing that Lanʼs group knew is that they are now on the foot of the mountain.

Peridot and Saru came down after Lanʼs group is no longer in the area. They did not want to scatter the attention of the soldiers. They might not get caught up in the area of the spell. Adrian then looked at the Qilin that seemed to be smiling at them and then frowned.

”It seems that you suddenly regained hope.” Adrian stated as he teased the Qilin.

”I just thought that you three are better than those insects. At the very least, the three of you are more civilized but not that much.” The Qilin responded.

”I will start the process then. Please know that I might really blow up the mountain if I make a mistake. So, make sure that no one bothers me.” Adrian stated in a serious tone.

”I thought you made that up to scare the Charm Master.” Peridot stated as Adrian gave him the judging look.
