Omega Summoner
chapter-624

The black crystals that popped up from the ground made everyone a bit uneasy as they could not truly break it. They tried reaching out to Adrian if he knew what these black crystals are, but he is not answering their calls.

They need to deal with the black crystals with the only way that they know how. They are continuously casting purification magic on the black crystals until the color faded and became lighter. The crystals lost their color, but their purification magic did not reach the middle area.

"Let me try breaking it." Kabrakan stated as he started bashing the black crystal.

The black crystal did not even shatter upon the furious bashing of the two shields. Kabrakan became tired before even putting a dent on it. Upon saying what they learned from bashing the crystal, another group reported that Sprout managed to make a crack on the black crystal.

When they learned that she used an attack that is similar to purification magic, they tried to replicate it but failed. The concept that Sprout used is similar to enhancement magic but that is extremely difficult. Even Levin Cloud or Heala could not pull it off just because they heard the concept behind it.

"Even Sprout said that she needed to rest for 20 minutes after she did that. We cannot break the black crystals using normal means. We should try plucking it out of the ground." Levin Cloud suggested.

They tried plucking the black crystals from the ground, but the thing does not even budge. The only way that they found to be working is dragging the soil around it with the black crystal. The black crystal is basically a meter long and half a meter in thickness.

[Cannot put the item inside the inventory.]

A system notification told them that the black crystals could not be put inside the inventory. They needed to manually carry it in order to move from their location. The best thing that they could do is deliver it to one of the Daemos that are near them.

After looking for a helper, one of the elder Daemos appeared and investigated the black crystals. The elder who came is none other than Koronn. The description that Levin Cloud gave the elder sparked interest in the properties of the black crystal that he abandoned his post in guarding the inventory of the inhuman alliance.

"Interesting. This crystal is rather peculiar that it sucks the life energy in the surroundings. No wonder the ground is screaming like what you have said. This might be a mineral that is not of this world that the dark god has manifested into this world." Koronn stated with his inquisitive gaze.

"If it came from the world of the dark god then why is it sprouting from the ground?" Levin Cloud asked as the others are too shy to talk to the Daemos elder.

"It could have been planted here for decades ad is made dormant. It must have been building up power from being buried for years. The life energy of the ground suddenly reacted when these crystals started pulling too much energy.

You could say that it was only pulling life energy like when an ant crawls on your arm. It is not irritating but when that ant bites you then you will kill it immediately. The pain became unbearable that the soil itself screamed in pain." Koronn stated as he chucked one of the black crystals somewhere.

Koronn then visited each area and went to get the black crystals that the other groups found. The black crystals that he found could not have been a coincidence that the Daemos Elder told them that they might be in a certain position.

True enough to Koronn's statement, they found two more black crystals upon beating the followers of the dark gods. Knight marked the map location where they found the black crystals and realized that it formed a pentagram.

Whatever the followers of the dark gods are doing, they must be up to something to create something as elaborate as this. The black crystals must be destroyed or sent to a place where the magic of the followers of the dark god could not reach.

Just as they are about to go and search for more followers of the dark gods, a system notification that tells them that things are about to get worse. They can see from the distance that the angels are starting to feel overpowered by the minions that the dark god kept summoning. The health of the dark god is also not even dropping anymore from 50%.

[The first one and a half hour has passed.]

[The Dark God, Nyarlathotep, shall now produce higher tier faceless ones that have incorporated the souls of those it has eaten.]

[Faceless Arch Winged Ones will start to appear.]

[Faceless Arch Mages will start to appear.]

[Faceless Arch Warriors will start to appear.]

[Faceless Arch Priests will start to appear.]

[Faceless Arch Snipers will start to appear.]

New and improved versions of the previous cannon fodder have been created. If the Faceless Arch Priest that they defeated earlier is actually from this group, then they fear what might happen when two hours have finally passed.

The Faceless Arch monsters are different from their normal and greater counterparts. The Faceless Arch Winged Ones look like a copy of the proud dragons which made the dragonkin feel extremely offended by what they have just seen. The Faceless Arch Mages have three mouths which could chant three different spells at the same time.

The Faceless Arch Warriors have thicker and broader body types than even orcs. The Faceless Arch Snipers do not even need to aim correctly, and their attacks will still connect if the target does not actively try to dodge.

[Your teammate, Equinox, has just killed an Angel of the Third Heavenly Sphere.]

While the others were busy discussing what they needed to do, a sudden notification popped up from their system panel. They could not believe that Equinox will do something like that with an army of angels inside of the fallen imperial capital right now.

They all rushed towards the imperial capital hoping to see if Equinox is doing fine. To their own surprise, Equinox did not have any new notifications after that. He is not dead since no notification about his death is flashed before their eyes.

They suddenly remembered a pretentious angel that used that curse on Creepysoo. It seems that Adrian does not like people messing around with his friends but to think that he would take it to the extreme. But in their minds, they would have done the same if those pretentious angels cursed every one of them.

"Seriously, if he only just told us that is what he is going to do then I might have helped him." Levin Cloud stated as he is also incredibly angry with what that angel did.

"Do you think that he is being chased by a group of angels? I am going to bet one of my rare minerals that is the case." Kabrakan stated as he made light of the situation and even held a betting game.

"I will bet one of my rare minerals as well, but he is completely safe and avoiding their eyesight." Peridot chimed in which made Levin Cloud sigh that these two just made a bet on their friends situation.

"I seriously do not know if you guys are making light of this situation or have the utmost confidence in him." Dragoon commented.

"Equinox does not do something that endangers him greatly or puts him in a spot where he could do nothing. He is like a cautious daredevil that makes sure that the stunt that he will do will make sure that he is alive even after doing it." Levin Cloud stated.

The three separated groups converged at the entrance of the imperial capital and confirmed if the message that they received is true. They knew that Equinox is planning something by not going with them but to think that he killed an angel with his stats only in the 40% is mind boggling.

"This is not the first time that he killed an angel. I am pretty sure that he got a title from killing that angel. I am honestly surprised on how he accomplished that, but he could do that if it is him. He is just that character that it somehow makes me doubt that we are playing the same game." Levin Cloud stated as he sighed.

Upon entering the vicinity of the fallen imperial capital, they suddenly got attacked by one of the angels that is on guard. They did not know what they had done wrong but to show hostility like that is definitely not normal. They must be searching for Adrian that killed one of them.

They are also snarking at the fact that the angels are so full of themselves that they do not even need to attack with their full force.. It seems that when you always hear and believe that you are amazing and great then you start to believe it despite being normal and not gifted.
