Omega Summoner

Chapter 687: Sprouting Tombs I

While Adrian and Peridot are enjoying their rest time, an attendant suddenly came and fetched both of them. Adrianʼs senses suddenly tingled as he felt that something is amiss and wanted to escape immediately.

”Oh, my goodness! Look at the time. I must prepare for my departure as I suddenly remembered something that I needed to do.” Adrian stated as he started to pack his things and headed towards the exit.

Adrian is about to walk away when the Qilin, Moksha, suddenly grew to its full form and pinned Adrian to the ground. The Qilin dragged Adrian against his will, but he did not even fight back because he could not do so. The scream of a young boy could be heard echoing in the mountain for a few minutes.

Nuwa joined the meeting of the elders and reported all the things that she learned from Adrian. She did not hide thing as there is one thing that must be observed in meetings like this. The Elders of the House of Creation are meeting in a special place inside of the mountain itself.

This place has been blessed by the Dragon of Truth herself before she passed away. This is considered one of the holy places of the elders and the best meeting spot for discussing things involving the eastern continent.

The elders are shocked to learn that this black stone that she spoke off might be a key to the Philosopherʼs stone which reportedly could transmute any material to a highly valuable material. The ability of the Philosopherʼs stone is Transmutation but there is one thing that the elders of the House of Creation know about the Philosopherʼs stone.

”To think that the stone said to be able to bring back the dead might be closer than we think.” One of the elders of the House of Creation stated.

”I still remember when that kind of stone existed, it became the root of all evil because of the greediness of men. We must prevent this black stone to fall into the wrong hands if it is an ingredient for the Philosopherʼs stone.” Another elder of the House of Creation stated.

”I say that we destroy it so that we no longer have any future endeavors. We must also demand the demons to hand over their supply so that we can be sure that nothing of that horrific incident will happen again.” Another elder of the House of Creation added.

”When it was first made, the Philosopherʼs stone became the most helpful item that restored the world into a beautiful one. It made the filthy energy of the dark gods into beautiful and useful things for the last of the living beings.

Power is only evil and dangerous when it lands on the hands of those who are evil and will stop at nothing to get what they want. Also, the demons said that it might only be a possibility and they are not entirely sure. This is the reason why one of their elders chose Mt. Thunder for a reason.” The oldest of the elders of the House of Creation stated.

”Are you saying that they deliberately put something dangerous here in the eastern continent? Where is that demon brat! I might as well punish him myself for doing something like that.” The most violent elder of the House of Creation stated.

”If they chose Mt. Thunder then they chose well as no Array Master has emerged for a thousand years. Even the strongest Charm Master has yet to even step foot in that realm. That will be the safest spot to handle that black stone.” The elder that was silent just now stated which made those that want to cause a ruckus calm down.

”It might just be a better conduit stone and not an ingredient. Fearing the unknown is not our style as only humans do that. We are Ryujin and we are beings that value knowledge than anything else.

I already sent some to inspect the black stone as it already has caused quite a stir to the other houses.” Nuwa stated as she knew that a stone that could actually channel that amount of energy will be beneficial to the Ryujin.

”The Grand Mistress is correct. We are not humans who fear the unknown as we are known to face the unknown with smiles. The stone might be a chance to bring us to new heights or absolute destruction, but we will always stay strong and objective. Do all of you agree?” The oldest of the elders of the House of Creation stated as he reminded them that they are not weak.

”Since that matter is settled then let us go to the next one. Are we sure about Little Peridotʼs Qilin? Is it really safe for her to be attached to that thing to the point that they share the same soul?” One of the elders stated as she is worried for Peridotʼs safety.

”I might not like to admit it, but that young demon is very gifted when it comes to the magic relating to the souls of others. He is the Champion of the Twin Gods after all, and it seems that Peridotʼs special someone is the Envoy of the Twin Gods.

Suffice to say…if something were to go awry then her friend and lover will definitely be able to handle it better than us. They are chosen by the two primordial gods that have usually stayed indifferent to the plight of the people.” Nuwa stated but there is still a bit of worry painted on their faces.

”No more objections then onto the next important topic, it seems that we have been getting reports of tomb like dungeons suddenly sprouting from random locations.” An elder reported.

”What are these tombs? Are you sure it is a tomb or just a dungeon that looks like a tomb?” Another elder asked.

”We have confirmed it is a tomb as it looked like a large mausoleum fit for a king. The only difference is that the things inside are like clay soldiers.”
