Omega Summoner
chapter-118

When Adrian's party was huddled up, an onlooker was eavesdropping. That onlooker was none other than Cersei. She wanted to use this chance to introduce herself to the elf priest since she has a great deal of interest in his skills. Her guild, Evergreen, is also one of the most renowned and most generous to its members. She was sure that he could be scouted or at least have a friendly relationship with the guild.

Her class was witch and it is only available for female players. The counterpart for the witch would be a warlock as it is only given to males. Although the class is well-known, it is quite difficult to achieve due to one reason. Witches and Warlocks must have a covenant with devil gods or demi-gods.

They could manage to summon one to form a covenant but there are times or rather most of the time, the devil gods or demi-gods do not answer. Luckily for her, Cersei managed to summon one on her first try. She thought that demons were also devils but it seems in the game they were different as explained by the devil god she managed to get a covenant with.

The side effect of being a witch though is that both parties must have an amicable relationship with each other. For Cersei to get that easily, she agreed to wear the sexy witch costume she is now wearing. She might have been shy at first but now she embodies her feminine allure. Another perk is that the devil god she had a covenant with could see what she sees.

In other words, the veil that the skill Glamour gave Adrian was not effective on a devil god's eyes. Another interesting characteristic of a devil is that they could not lie. They could manipulate the truth to certain extents to deceive people but they could never lie.

"Cersei! Be careful of that summoner boy. Even better is get on his good side. It would benefit you." A voice whispered on Cersei's ear as she was walking towards Adrian's party.

"What do you mean Vepar? Cersei asked in a bewildered tone.

"Heh! That is all you will get from me today. He would be beneficial as a friend rather than a foe." Vepar said amusingly as he likes to tease his contractor.

Cerseidid not want to push any farther because if even Vepar has his lips sealed then that summoner is not normal. She then overheard their situation about driving away the lich instead of killing it. She also overheard that they need someone who has a skill that depletes mana.

"Oh my! The perfect opportunity just arrived. The heavens might be helping me." Cersei inwardly exclaimed.

"Are you sure that we could not kill those two undead?" Cersei asked as even she wants the drops that the two high tier undead will give. It might even be epic items or better yet a legendary one.

"Well, I think you should be the judged then. I will send you the details of the two undead that are present in this fort." Adrian exclaimed as even he does not know if they could successfully kill the two named undead.

Cersei was then surprised about the information because the undead had names. She bit her lips as even she knows that the team they have is not enough to take on Named Monsters that are higher leveled than them. She wracked her brain but she thinks it would take immense sacrifice just to kill one.

"It's like they are a low level world boss!" Cersei exclaimed and the rest agreed. She then said, "I think we have a better chance at driving them away. I also heard from the other fortresses that you get nothing if you fail to defend the fortress."

"We need to confuse the lich and cut off his support to the death knight. The problem is that the death knight could divert its attention to us." Adrian said.

"What do you have in mind then?" Cersei said as she signaled her guild members to join in on the conversation.

"Simple. We just need to tell them the information about the undead. We will just need to keep silent about the Destiny Chain." Adrian said while he smiled ear to ear.

When Cersei heard that suggestion she was shocked because she thought they were innocent or angelic children. Still, the idea was a feasible one because the people at this fortress would swarm at that death knight if they were to know. The prospect of killing Named Monsters was too high of a temptation to ignore.

"I will get to it then" Cersei said as she whispered something to a person that looked like a scout.

It did not take even a few minutes before the news spread like wildfire. There was renewed vigor on the eyes of the players on the field. At first, the players eyed each other to see what the others would do. Suddenly, a wave of players charged towards the death knight with intense energy.

"Wow! It was really effective." Levin Cloud exclaimed.

"Let us be on our way then. We only spread the details about the death knight so the lich would have lesser attention." Cersei stated.

Adrian's party with the Evergreen Guild members then went to the lich's location which was a few meters away from the death knight. It was still continuing to summon undead to aid the death knight as its barrier was yet to be broken. The players attacking the death knight was continuously being flooded with undead monsters that continue to respawn.

It was utterly chaotic as the players looked like hungry wolves that wants to end the death knight's life. If they could achieve the last hit then they would surely get an item. The death knight would then be surrounded by players every so often but its damage output and insane defense only hindered the players.

When Adrian and the others arrived at the lich location, they could see a group of players that tried attacking it but would get deleted by the spells fired by the lich. Adrian once again summoned his bow Psyche Armament and fired piercing arrows towards the lich. When the arrows passed by the lich's barrier, the lich could only actively use a defensive spell to block the piercing arrow.

Levin Cloud then used his field healing spell, Gaea's Blessing, to pressure the lich. The lich's health was getting decreased due to its barrier incapable of fully negating holy damage. The lich was getting bombarded with holy spells by both teams priest. Cersei on the other hand started chanting and Adrian could see blue light going towards her.

The mana of the lich was visibly draining every second Cersei was channeling her spell. Adrian who was observing this situation was smiling as the lich's mana had only 60% remaining. It kept blocking the group's assault on it with barriers. It also stopped spawning undead due to it not being able to chant anymore.

The tanks of both group would also block spells fired by the lich. Thankfully, the lich could not fire its Finger of Undeath. Adrian thought that it might be a high cooldown spell due to the immense damage he received. There were other players who were not acquainted with them who joined in the assault as they gave up on killing the death knight.

Although the lich was only damaged by the Priests spells, its health was successfully reduced to 85%. That was the time when the players raiding the lich could see that they may be able to kill the lich. But it was too close for comfort. The death knight who was slaughtering players left and right broke to the players surrounding it and catapulted itself towards the lich.

Someone from the Evergreen guild shouted that the death knight was approaching them. Adrian could only frown as the mana of the lich was still 40% and it had no signs of retreating. Adrian immediately activated the third skill of the bow Psyche Armament. He fired three piercing shots towards the death knight who was not 65% in health.

[You have dealt 5,245 damage to the death knight Zigra.]

[You have dealt 4,688 damage to the death knight Zigra.]

[You have dealt 5,347 damage to the death knight Zigra.]

Even when Adrian dealt piercing damage, the damage only amounted to four digits but Adrian thought it was fine. He managed to derail the death knight's charge by a little. He immediately enlarged his gauntlets and charged towards the death knight with Sirius.

"Kanlaon fire your breath on the death knight when I strike at it." Adrian commanded via the soul link.

Adrian will make it seem that the dragon breath was a skill effect triggering so that he would avoid suspicion later on. Adrian charged forward and clashed with the death knight but he was thrown back by an immense force. Still, Kanlaon spewed its breath towards the death knight and he managed to stop its charge.

Adrian immediately cast Soul Form Transformation on Kanlaon to give the illusion that it was an item effect.

"So that was the item effect. It looked awesome!" Adrian said for the others around him to hear. Levin Cloud though could only chuckle as he knows what his best friend just did.
