Omega Summoner
chapter-698

The discussions of the elders of the House of Creation conclude that they need further information. They cannot just blindly charge to the territory of the Black Tortoise with such allegations. Adrian wanted to meet the Black Tortoise though as it is said to have the powers similar to life and death.

Even though Adrian is interested, he cannot go there now as he would need to prepare for the flight to the venue of the Pandelympics in the next few days. Although the players would have to arrive about a week after him, he needed to be there to work out the kinks of the event he will be participating on.

"Thankfully, I managed to kill enough metal enemies that are considered for Kimat's evolution. He successfully evolved into a Thunderlight Tigris. The downside is that I am still a few levels away from reaching level 200 and it does not look like I will reach it in time for the competition." Adrian thought as the meeting of the elders of the House of Creation ended.

Adrian then remembered that Kimat suddenly started releasing bolts of lightning the moment they defeated the tenth monster with the monster element of metal. A large lightning bolt suddenly came down from the sky and pierced through the tomb and hit Kimat.

Kimat then absorbed all the lightning in his body and the soil below his feet suddenly started to cover him like a mound. Adrian thought that Kimat was under attack, but he received that his soulbound is in the process of evolving.

Kimat released large pulses of energy like when a creature of extraordinary power evolves. The factor for this is the Pinnacle magic stone that he consumed. If Kimat consumed a normal large magic stone, then the lightning elemental energy would have been ten times less. There is a large difference between a pinnacle magic stone and a large magic stone after all.

The tyrannical lightning elemental energy that Kimat absorbed all got sealed when he got covered by the mount of dirt that is about five times the size of the elemental cat. Kimat is already the size of a normal tiger when it fully grown which meant that the mount looked like a small hill.

Adrian just watched and sensed the soul link between him and Kimat. He would be able to interfere f something was to happen like an anomaly of some sort. Adrian does not know what to do as he wanted to prevent Kimat's evolution at first as he wanted the elemental cat to evolve at Mt. Thunder.

The unexpected sudden evolution caught him off guard as he was always asked by the system whether to evolve his soulbound, but Kimat is different. Kimat suddenly went through the process of evolution in a spontaneous manner that Adrian could not even prepare.

He does know that there are instance of monsters failing to evolve due to some outside effects. Thankfully, the tomb is still closed to those outside as long as they are still inside. The last tomb that they visited is not as powerful as the first one that they went through but the enemies were numerous.

"It has been an hour already. Are you sure that Kimat is fine?" Peridot asked Adrian as she is worried that something might have happened for an evolution to take place this long.

"He is still fine, but it seems that his body is being refined to the point that almost everything has been changed." Adrian replied as he could feel that Kimat is no longer a normal monster.

Another hour passed and Adrian suddenly felt that all his mana is being sucked into Kimat's soul. He could feel that Kimat is forcefully sucking all his mana via their soul link that Adrian felt lightheaded. He did not expect that, but he immediately drank two mana potions that restored his mana to full, but Kimat still emptied out his reserves.

"What the heck! The others did not do this, but they did absorb energy instead of mana. Will that mean that I must also be prepared when I evolve my other soulbounds." Adrian thought to himself as he now realized that the summoner must also be prepared when their soulbound evolves.

Their connection is not just that of simple master and servant but mutual. If one fails, then the other also suffers. In other words, if the soulbound fails their evolution then a penalty would also incur upon the summoner that has their souls tied to them.

Adrian shuddered upon learning that fact as he has powerful soulbounds. Which meant that there is a higher chance that he could potentially be insufficient. He needs to level up more with that realization and he has to increase his energy reserves.

He thought he has plenty enough mana now, but Kimat's sudden absorption of mana taught him a lesson. He has not learned of this at the forums as no player would blatantly expose their weakness in a competitive game or they are too scared to be scrutinized by the people online.

Sometimes people's harsh words cuts deeper than a knife as not everyone has a strong heart to shrug poisonous comments. They would rather bottle up their mistakes and fears so that they would be safe. It is also a ticking time bomb in the making as pain and fear will build up in one's heart and manifest into something unsightly.

[Your soulbound Kimat has successfully evolved into a Thunderlight Tigris.]

[All of Kimat's stats has been improved dramatically.]

[Kimat's skills and abilities are modified to fit his new race.]

[Your soulbound Kimat has obtained another element 'Metal']

The giant mound of dirt that covered Kimat suddenly broke off and revealed the greatness of the Thunderlight Tigris. Kimat's fur became white in color while its stripes became black that glowed blue every few seconds. It is now about four meters tall and could easily swallow a normal human whole with its mouth.

The biggest thing that changed is that Kimat looked like a real white tiger with lightning sparks coming out of its body. The fur on its body also became difficult to tear or even pluck as if it is made of metal. There are also shoulder paddings made of some sort of silver metal covering upper portion of Kimat's legs.

"He looks like a battle tiger, but they are not as big as that and they do not have the same fur color as Kimat." Peridot stated as Kimat reminded her of another monster in the eastern continent that is of the earth element called the Battle Tiger.

Kimat roared and the whole area became filled with lightning sparks. The dark tomb became illuminated with a flash of blue light that no darkness is spared. Kimat then looked at Adrian and smiled as it became a soul like entity before vanishing.

[Your soulbound, Kimat, is very exhausted. It will need to rest in our Soul Chamber for two days before you could summon it again.]

"Well, that was awesome. I felt like I watched a movie when that happened. Also, thanks for protecting us, Moksha." Peridot stated as her Qilin suddenly came out as the intense lighting attacks took place in their area.

"I am only doing my job as your protector. I did not think that the small cat would actually become something so daunting that even I am impressed. But you should be careful of the House of the Azure Dragon as they like to have pets that have strong thunder element inside of them.

Be sure that Kimat is not summoned when the patriarch of that house is there. The House of the Azure Dragon also wanted me back then, but they were beaten to the punch by the Array Master that sealed me to Mt. Thunder." Moksha stated before disappearing.

"Thank you for your cooperation regarding the tomb incident. It seems that the tombs that you both have cleared are not spawning any time soon. We will investigate it further and will need your assistance in the future." Nuwa stated as she gave the reward to Adrian.

[You have received the core of the Wind Dragon.]

"Even though it was more of coercion than an actual quest, I will gladly receive the award that is in line with my services. Next time though…please ask me nicely first as I will definitely fight back the next time that I get abducted against my will." Adrian stated.

"If you do not like it then you could return that core to us." Nuwa stated but Adrian immediately kept it inside of his inventory.

"Nope! This is mine!" Adrian retorted as he took a few steps back that made Nuwa laugh.

"I know why you want that core. Your dragon needs it to acquire the wind element, correct?" Nuwa stated which made Adrian perk up his ears as what she says about dragons should be important as they are one.

"Your dragon is very unique as not all dragons have the ability to absorb the power of another. Dragons like that are usually killed at birth as they often grow up as 'Kin-Eaters'. But looking at you, I am pretty sure that you will not let that happen.." Nuwa added.
