Omega Summoner
chapter-708

About three days in the real world before the actual start of the competition, Adrian is suddenly contacted by Mariposa as she is now ready to claim the help that he needed from Adrian. The one who is being asked for help is shocked because he learned from Vayu that Mariposa is actually competing for the Japanese team.

He knows that some of the national players are forbidden to actually play the game while they waited for the competition. It seems that the restriction is not placed on the national players of Japan as they are still playing the game until the last day before the competition.

In actual fact, Atlas inc. did not ban any of the national players from playing the game before the competition. The data in their accounts will still be replicated for the fight but their game characters will have a freeze when it is loaded into the gaming pods for the competition.

The freeze is basically a rule that tells them that the first load of their accounts for the event will be the only data that will be used for the event. This means that even if they get new skills in Pandemonium during the actual competition, the new skill will not be reflected for the event as it was not loaded in the first time that they connect in the game pod.

They will still have the skill they received for the actual game but not for the Pandelympics. This rule reveal made all the national players think of the skills that they needed to get for the games. This is the reason for Mariposa suddenly calling Adrian for his help as the mission she needed to clear is for summoners only.

Adrian agreed as he is already healed from the effects of the curse placed on him seeing that his right arm has already regenerated. He almost became the test subject for Koronn as he wanted to learn if he could replicate a curse of that level. Adrian needed an excuse to disappear, and he used the only option that he has at the moment.

Adrian met Mariposa at an area that is called Mysterious Jungle and is said to be the monster haven for summoners that focus in getting insect type soulbounds or monster plant type soulbounds. Like the name implies, the Mysterious Jungle is full of unknowns as it is one of the hybrid types of fields in the game.

The Mysterious Jungle is a mixture of a high-level field and a low-level field. The outskirt of the area is a low-level field that players up to level 50 could enjoy farming up their levels, but the inner area is already filled with monsters above level 250. A rare scene in the area would be a high-level monster sometimes visiting the outskirts which players detest.

It is not uncommon for stories in the forum talking about their experience of dying to a high-level monster in the outskirt of the Mysterious Jungle. It is both a danger and a blessing as this field type dungeon is teeming with monsters that give decent experience points.

"I am very grateful that you have been able to agree to my request." Mariposa stated.

"It is nothing as I always keep my word but is it fine for you to actually be in this mission? I know from one of my friends that you actually are part of the national team for Japan." Adrian asked.

"It is not an issue as I am bored just waiting in my room as my guild master is not available to chat despite us being the same city right now." Mariposa stated as Anastacia is also part of the national team for Russia, and she is even the vice team captain.

"That sucks. Anyway, what are we going to do?" Adrian asked.

"Do you know of the planet called Green?" Mariposa asked as Adrian is a demon.

"I know a little about it like it is mostly all plant life. Only 10% of the planet's water source is above ground while the 90% of it is below ground. It is basically a more plant haven version of The Wilde." Adrian replied.

"The Wilde? It seems that you have been in far too many planets that people know. Anyways, you are correct about it, but the planet is basically split into two forces. The side of the Insectoids like me and the Plantae race that are plant humanoids." Mariposa explained which made Adrian even more curious as these Plantae are actually vastly different from dryads or leshies.

"You actually want to complete an S rank quest difficulty when the competition is right in the corner. Respect!" Adrian stated as he did not say no because this is his promise.

"I thought that you would back out, but it turns out that you were gutsy. Also, I should warn you that we might encounter a ranker on the planet. She is pretty famous, and you might know her by the name 'Poison Ivy'." Mariposa stated so that Adrian knows what he is up against.

"The summoner that uses monster plant soulbounds. I know of her as she is pretty famous and both of you seemed to be rivals. According to the forums anyway. Should we avoid her if we bump into her?" Adrian stated.

"She is just another female summoner like me. Also, we must absolutely decimate her when we bump into her." Mariposa stated with a fearsome smile.
