Omega Summoner

Chapter 673: The Price of a Miracle

Adrian lost his entire right arm and his ability to fully heal his wounds. This will not affect his fighting ability much as he is still a summoner that relies mostly on his soulbounds. This will decrease his activity to being the support for his soulbounds using the Prmordial Armaments.

”You lost an arm. We should now retreat immediately after finding the large lightning magic stone that you need for Kimatʼs evolution. We would not be able to fight off Lan and her crew if they reach here and we have yet to get to your goal.” Peridot stated as she immediately activated the magic.

”It is an arm, but it will grow back in about a week. I just need to be more skillful in using my left hand then as it will be the only thing that can stop a close combat attack if someone were to attack me.” Adrian stated in response.

The magic that she used is none other than Gem Search which is the basic skill that she received when she got her job class. It is now more powerful as she raised it to the max and it became upgraded due to being used all the time whenever she gets the chance.

It is basically like a sonar, but it only searches for peculiar stones that have special attributes and abilities. This skill is her bread and butter as it is the main source for her funds in playing this game. The magic stones or special stones that she circulates around the market is what gives her the spending capital.

Peridot closed her eyes as she imagined herself as a droplet of water that dropped in a giant still ocean. The water droplet then created waves of oscillation that rippled in the entire area. The strongest reaction came from the area just below where the Qilin liked to reside.

Peridot could easily use the skill without focusing so much but she learned something peculiar about the skill. If she focuses and maintains concentration, then the image in her head will be more detailed unlike when she just uses it to passively detect things.

”I can feel it. There is a special stone in this area. Let us just hope that it is the stone that you need.” Peridot stated as she pointed to the ground.

”I would love to dig but…” Adrian stated as he whipped his left hand in the air.

”I meant Sirius needs to dig. He is a dog after all.” Peridot stated but Sirius rose from Adrianʼs shadows and looked dissatisfied.

”I am not a dog. I am a Fenrir.” Sirius protested.

”Same thing. Now dig.” Peridot stated.

”I will not commit to such lowly acts.” Sirius stated but his body told a different story. His tail was wagging while he keeps glancing at the area that Peridot pointed at.

”Can you please dig that area for me? It might lead to the item that your younger sibling needs.” Adrian stated as it seems that Sirius is only waiting permission from him.

”If master asks then I shall gladly cooperate.” Sirius replied as he started to dig in the area that Peridot pointed.

Sirius could easily dig out a foot of soil in just one scoop which made the process faster than they all realized. Soon, Sirius hit something durable to the point that it dealt damage to his body. Not only that, but Sirius also became afflicted by paralysis as a small amount of electricity jolted his body.

Sirius did not even flinch when he got shocked by the strange stone because it was not that powerful. The thing that worries Sirius more is that he hit a green rock that seemed to be harder than his own claw. Given the fact that the stone shard that Sirius brought up is not showing any signs of being identified, Peridot took it on her own hands.

”What is that? It does not look like a lightning magic stone. It has electricity visibly coursing right through it, but it is not that powerful seeing that you could easily grab it with your hand.” Adrian stated as it also dealt little damage to Sirius.

”It is covered in a shell but the lightning element inside of it is still present despite the shell having electricity grounding capabilities. In my experience, stones like these are most likely to be pinnacle magic stones.

The only problem would be is that I am unable to break open this thing. We would need my masterʼs help with it, but it is undoubtedly a lightning magic stone. The rank is unknown even to me at the moment though.

But given the fact that it could permeate energy through its shell, it should at least be a large magic stone. The energy must have accumulated for it to start evolving.” Peridot stated as Adrian suddenly learned that even rocks could evolve.

”By evolving you mean, it is transforming due to the excess energy that it got from the surrounding. Also, how is that a large lightning magic stone? It is only the size of your hand. If you get rid of the shell, then it would be smaller.” Adrian asked as he is not familiar with the magic stones as it is different from runes.

”The indicator size of the magic stone is not really proportional to its physical size. The stone itself is still at most the size of a hand but the energy it carries are not the same. The stoneʼs capacity to store magic is what determines its size.

Large Magic stones are usually used by mages in order to not use mana on large scale spells. They still have to cast it, but they would no longer need to supply mana to spell as the magic stone would be consumed instead of mana.

The ones who crave magic stones the most are the owners of the sorcerer towers. Grand Magicians that are said to almost be at the level of a dragon when it comes to elemental manipulation.” Peridot stated.
