Omega Summoner
chapter-2154

Eldritch did as Adrian had told him and went to the bog that the latter has pointed out. What he did not know is that the way down would be laden with traps. It was not just normal traps but also monster traps that are filled with mana eaters and even the rare life eaters. This proved quite the difficulty for Eldritch as he was not able to resist or defend against them as there was only one way down.

"That demon brat! I will definitely humiliate you when I finish what I need to do!" Eldritch stated as he knew that Adrian did not tell him about the traps on purpose even though he also withheld information like the location of the corrupted heart.

By the time Eldritch reached the bottom of the bog, he is suddenly greeted by two guard monsters. He already lost half his health from the life eaters while only 15% of his mana was remaining due to the mana eaters. He did not have a problem killing off the two monster guards as they were not high leveled, but he felt that he was walking into a trap.

"Those two have always been weird ever since they joined. To think that they were connected to that damned player in the eastern continent." Eldritch stated as the two players he was hunting is actually or rather were members of the Followers of the Dark Gods.

One rule for joining the cult is none other than not telling others which Dark God they follow. Some of the Dark Gods were not beings that craved destruction or violence which is why even the cult had different factions. One faction had the peaceful Dark Gods that only wanted to survive without any difficulties. The other faction is composed of Distorted Gods that want to twist the very fabric of the universe to their whims by using either death or destruction.

The last faction is where those in the middle come in and would orchestrate the plans come in. This is the faction that Eldritch is the head of as he is meticulous in using all his resources. He thought that everything was in his grasps, but it seems that even he could be blindsided. He always let moles or traitors in the cult, but he would be able to manipulate everything to his whims.

He had firm grasp over the Followers of the Dark Gods, but a crack formed when he was publicly humiliated. As if the humiliation was planned, the traitors that he did not sniff out managed to steal some of the influence he had. Even his clever and twisted mind could not stop the loyalty of some people. The traitors that usurped some of the power from him were actually in league with the player with an oni mask.

"I need to hasten my movement. I can feel that they have already started." Eldritch stated as he finally reached the end of the dungeon.

Eldritch found the two traitors he was supposed to punish and is about to deal with them when he noticed the killing intent. In just a split second, Eldritch swung his staff above him and it clashed with the powerful fists of another person. Eldritch could be seen shocked as he knew who the owners of those powerful fists were.

"It is you, Oni Mask!" Eldritch stated as he and Tai got repelled by the forces of their attacks.

"See! Even now, he does not even know Tai's name despite the fact that he utterly lost to him." One of the traitors stated.

"What do you expect of a narcissistic brat? He does not even know our own names." The other 'traitor' stated.

"I should have expected that you were involved in this shady mishap. If you beg now, then I might rethink of how I am going to punish both of you." Eldritch stated.

"Does he really think that we will join him when we were never an ally of him in the first place?" The first 'traitor' stated.

"Let him live in his own bubble. We have already finished creating the Pit of Corrruption." The second 'traitor' stated.

"I am warning you that opening it up is not the right time. This is why I hate dealing with stupid idiots." Eldritch stated as he viewed other people lesser than him.

"We are not doing this to get you to notice us. It is simply business as you seem to know more about that." The first traitor stated.

Eldritch wanted to taunt them but it seems that they are not falling for it. He is also a bit wary of Tai since it would become a three on one scenario if a fight really does break out. Eldritch never thought that his carefully crafted plans would suddenly fail. He even made sure that all other continents will be weak because of his meddling with time via a secret hack.

"I should have killed all of those troublesome hidden reincarnated gods in the eastern continent when I had the chance instead of splitting the Vermillion Bird in half." Eldritch thought as he already planned out his way to dominate the entire game.

Eldritch plan is complicated, but the goal was simple for him. He just needed to weaken all of the players and other beings until the distorted gods were ready. He even made sure of this by defeating powerful monsters when the game was in its early release. He crafted a plan that could immediately rise to the top.

He wanted the general player base to be weak and also the NPCs as well. He wanted all of the world to be unable to resist the coming of the Distorted Gods. He even planned to kill off the Dark Gods that were soft, but he is not yet doing so because he still needed them for his plans. Everything would have been perfect but cracks in her plan started to form ever since other remarkable players appeared.
