Omega Summoner
chapter-493

A few hours before the tree of life and death descended. Adrian is amidst the monster horde that is attacking his own village. Adrian's soul bounds told him that some monsters managed to get across because of their nature or special abilities.

Adrian thought that his soul bounds just got reckless, but they could not be stopped by low level monsters with their powers. Sirius could handle several monsters at once since he could use Phantom Rush. Kanlaon could literally burn and freeze his enemies to death while Saena would immediately heal anyone who gets slightly injured with a flap of her wings.

Charon could tank any magical attacks while Dodu can just ignore physical attacks altogether. Since some monsters managed to get pass them then that would mean that monster is unique. Just as Adrian arrived to intercept a monster or five monsters of the same species came to attack him.

The monster is actually a cat that is the size of a baby tiger. It looked like a baby tiger, but it has a black thunderbolt mark on its side. The funny thing is that Adrian could only see one of it if he uses his evil eye that can see the souls of the living.

The truth is that he could see five monsters zipping around but there is actually just one monster. The yellow cat monster is actually supplying its mana into the five clones that it has. Adrian is impressed as he is told that the monster would disperse into sparks once they are defeated.

"It has a lightning attribute, and it uses the lightning to create copies of itself that move in patterns." Adrian stated as he could see that the copies were not leaving footprints in the grass inside the village. He then checked what he is up against as he wants to know if he can easily seal the small beast.

Monster: Elemental Cat (Lightning Variant - Juvenile)

Level: 120

Status: Wary, Observant

Adrian is actually shocked upon seeing the Observant status affixed on the elemental cat. He has seen many monsters and he always associated tags like Observant or Planning to intelligent monsters. If he is right, then he has hit the jackpot by encountering an already intelligent monster.

The Summoner players have found out that each monster has different levels of intelligence. Some monsters are born intelligent while some could on follow simple commands. Adrian is quite lucky that most of his monster are intelligent.

The only one not that intelligent is Dodu as it is still fairly newborn, and it is a slime. Dodu only knows how to eat what is in front of it which is why Adrian has to control it manually during battle. But Adrian knows that if Dodu evolves one more stage then it might attain intelligence as evolved monsters are more powerful and intelligent.

"Greater Seal!" Adrian chanted as he thought he locked onto the elemental cat.

The greater seal activated but the oy thing caught is the elemental cat's tail. The elemental cat is greatly shocked because the person in front of it knew that the others are just copies. It tried escaping but it could not go back as there are fearsome monsters blocking its path. It is now thinking of its way to survive the slaughter.

The elemental cats are not actually solitary creatures which is why it is a great wonder for it to come alone. Elemental cats are monsters that like to be with their own as they are affectionate creatures. The rarer the element of the elemental cat then the more fearsome it becomes. It is also difficult to train if its element is rare.

The elemental cat before Adrian is a lightning elemental cat. Lightning element is the advance form of the wind element. If Adrian is to train this elemental cat, then he would have a difficult time but very rewarding in the future.

The great thing about the elemental cat is that it deals physical elemental damage instead of magical like Kanlaon. The elemental cats are a famous choice for summoners that want a soul bound that can damage a golem with a physical attack.

Monsters with elemental attacks that can do physical damage are very rare which is why the elemental cats are famous. It is also the reason why they are difficult to acquire despite being famous. Players would often just pick the cat soul bound in the Village of Genesis and pray that theirs become an elemental cat.

Since the elemental cat tried attacking Adrian and it did not work, it now focused on finding an alternative way out of the village. The only problem with that is Adrian is in control of the village as he is the owner.

He has access to a mini map of the village that can differentiate friend from foe. The blue dots are friend while the red dots are foe which means the elemental cat cannot hide anywhere in the village. It is one of the perks of a territory owner, but it also has weaknesses that it cannot detect invisible opponents.

The elemental cat charged up its body and blasts arcs of lightning towards Adrian. The attacks came fast but Adrian managed to evade. He is still impressed because the attack nearly reached him despite being levels higher than the elemental cat.

The elemental cat used his attack as a diversion to charge to the left to exit the village, but it does not know that it is fighting a demon. What would happen if you gave access to a mini map to a demon that could bend space?

Adrian just looked at the red dot in the mini map and also looked at the direction of the red dot. He did not channel the spatial element into the Cube of Paradox as he is already used to doing it. The elemental cat that is sure of its escape is once again back in front of Adrian.

Adrian practiced using this technique of Blink, but it still drained him more mana than he wants. The forceful spatial transfer of a living being does take a toll, but he can use it in a flexible manner. The elemental cat got shocked but did the same thing again and Adrian transferred it back in front of him.

Adrian practiced this at dungeons where Dodu trained. He would experiment on unknowing mobs and found out that he could easily shift a monster's position if they are lower in level or caught off guard. For Adrian, it is a great skill and a useful one at that, but it is a never ending cycle of hell for the monsters.

The elemental cat tried a bunch more times until it finally became tired each time that it escaped. Adrian would then sneakily hide the Greater Seal Magic circle on the ground, but the elemental cat would always find a way to detect it.

"How can it detect invisible magic circles? The elemental cat already dodges before the magic circle could activate. Could it detect the magic circle itself of the mana that I am generating? Interesting" Adrian thought as he is starting to think that the elemental cat is more fascinating than he realized.

What Adrian did not know is that elemental cats are sensitive to magic because one of their ancestors is an elemental. It is passed down in legend that an Elemental became a beast and made the elemental beasts.

Beasts that possess the power of the elements but the physical body of monsters which elementals do not possess. Since elementals are not physical creatures, the only way for them to acquire a real physical body is through becoming one. It would weaken the elemental but would make it have a physical body.

Elementals are weak once their elemental bodies get dispersed which is why they rather stay invisible when attacking as any damage to their bodies made of natural mana could be fatal. The only ones who can see the elementals are those who are sensitive to spirits or the Shaman job class.

Adrian is having difficulty because he can accidentally kill the elemental cat if he used offensive magic. He knows that elemental cats are actually weak against magic because of the physical bodies they gained. Elemental monsters are weak to magical attacks and elementals are the same as they inherited it from them.

Adrian is about to hit the elemental cat when he noticed that Sirius greeted him. The monster horde is no more, and Adrian immediately used his soul bounds to trap the elemental cat. Sirius immediately dove into the shadows while Kanlaon and Saena flew carrying Charon and Dodu.

The odd sight of an undead and a slime making a landing scared the elemental cat. The elemental cat had no choice but to flee to safety and burned its reserved mana. Before it could though, Sirius appeared behind it and stomped it with his paws.

"Greater Seal!" Adrian chanted as a magic circle appeared below the elemental cat. It tried struggling but it burned through its mana reserves trying to escape.
