Omega Summoner
chapter-252

[You soul has been sent to the Nether Real while the God of Death Abaddon is using your body as a vessel.]

Adrian's vision returned and he is no longer inside the throne room of the Undead King Arthur. Instead, Adrian's vision is filled with a familiar sight to him as this always appears whenever he activates his domain skill. He was now in the Nether Realm and nothing changed as the realm was still void of light and life.

Adrian thought that the Goddess of Night Nox would come welcome him like before but she was not anywhere near Adrian. Adrian looked at his hand and it was different because this was the type of hands he has whenever he uses Netheros True Form.

Adrian looked at his hands and then towards his lower body. He was indeed in his true form which is a gaseous entity without a physical form but has a physical form. He always thought that his true form is weird because it is describe to be made of nether mist but he could still be affected by physical attacks.

Adrian did not ponder any longer because he wanted to explore the Nether Realm while he is here. He wanted to see if this realm is actually just made of the three colored mist. He is even wondering if there is a concept of a ground here in this realm because he was literally floating on nothing.

Even when Adrian wanted to touch if there was something like ground below him, his hands would just exceed where the ground should be. This led to his thought that in the nether realm is a realm where the traditional concept of what a realm should look like is reversed.

Adrian thought this as strange as the other death realms he visited has something like skies and earth but the nether realm is different. All that is available in the nether realm is the three colored mist that if you get bored easily then you would hate to be here.

"There must be something here in this realm that is not just mist. Like where does the Goddess of Night Nox stay or where she sleeps? Wait, do gods even sleep?" Adrian said to himself while he just aimlessly wandered around.

"How did the Goddess of Night Nox find me during the first time my soul travelled here?" Adrian asked himself as it would have been impossible for someone to find anyone due to the unique nature of the Nether Realm.

The Nether Realm has a unique effect of disorientation and misdirection so it is impossible to immediately find someone. Adrian then thought about the candles that the Goddess of Night possessed as it might have a special property of finding wayward souls.

He was given a candle by the Goddess of Night in order to hunt down and kill her former envoy. Adrian tried to take out the candle from his inventory but a system prompt appeared.

[Cannot access Inventory when in Pure Soul Form.]

Adrian frowned as he has no way to look for the Goddess of Night. He is no longer considered a wayward soul because he now blends well inside the nether realm. He is now considered as an inhabitant of the strange realm because all his stats are doubled inside the nether realm.

[You are perfectly in sync with your surroundings. Your stats will double for the duration that you are in this realm.]

"Come to me…" a voice whispered into Adrian's ear but it felt both near and very far away at the same time which greatly confused him.

"Where is that voice even coming from?" Adrian wondered as he tried following the voice.

He walked in all directions for an undefinable time but there is one thing that he knows and that is being lost. Since all things look identical, he is now hopelessly loss and following a voice that is enamoring him to go after it.

He kept wandering around until he felt something different in the feel of the surroundings. He could feel the nether energy being thicker and more pronounced in the area where he is in. He could feel it because his body was feeling energetic or bursting with life even though he is only in his soul form.

Adrian is about to turn back when he felt something pulling him in like a magnet.

"Come to me…" the voice stated quite clearly now and he turned his attention behind him.

Adrian does not know where it came from but it looked like two eyes that are white dots looking at his bare soul (literally because he is in pure soul form). He did not know but he felt like this entity that is calling him is very familiar to him but at the same time estrange.

"Did you call for me?" Adrian asked but the voice did not answer so he asked again.

"Why did you call for me?" Adrian asked but this time he wanted to know why.

A few minutes of waiting but there was no answer from the thing that he is seeing. He started to walk towards the location of the white eyes but then he heard a voice call to him.

"Champion Equinox? What are you doing here?" a female voice asked but Adrian already knows this beautiful feminine voice.

"Goddess Nox?" Adrian replied.

"Come here. You should not go there because it is dangerous. The concentration of the nether energy there is poisonous even for yourself." The Goddess Nox warned.

"But I saw…" Adrian turned around and the white dot eyes are no more.

"Saw what? There is nothing there but more mist." The Goddess Nox stated as she raised her candelabra to illuminate where Adrian is looking.

"I might have just imagined it then. The surroundings are all the same so my mind might be making shapes so that I will not go insane." Adrian joked as he followed the Goddess Nox.

"You are very resilient if I may say so myself. No demon has stepped forth in the farthest death realm." The Goddess Nox stated which cheered Adrian up as who did not like flattery.

Adrian and the Goddess Nox left their current location to a place with lesser saturation of nether mist. If Adrian looked back then he would have seen that the white dot eyes staring at him once more. This time the eyes looked like it wanted to call for him but stayed quiet because of the nuisance.
