Omega Summoner
chapter-99

Adrian was amazed by how Soleil used her skills as she seemed like how the Daemos use Origin Magic which only used at most one or two word chant. She might have gained a skill to invalidate long chanting which normal mages tend to do. The Daemos only needed to say the name of the spell in order to cast it but the downside is that they can only use Origin Magic.

Soleil seemed to be using the stuffed lion as a magic wand or a medium for spells since mages need them in order to better control spells. Adrian used his Dark Blue Evil Eye on the stuffed lion and he saw a red soul that was on blazing like a very little sun. When Adrian observed it more in depth, the red soul became afraid and the fireballs headed toward the Corrupted Elementals reduced in power.

Adrian who saw this change suddenly had an 'I am sorry' expression written on his face. Soleil who also noticed it as her bear was shaking as if it was in fear. Although the power diminished, the combined dragon breath and fireballs were super effective that it cut more than 60% of the health points of the corrupted elementals.

Adrian then summoned his Bow Psyche Armament to bombard the corrupted elementals with piercing arrows while Vayu used his sword drawing technique to finish them off. The enemies were easy because they were like mindless dolls as their eyes contained no color and they just stared into the void while advancing.

"Big Brother did you do something to Regu-chan? He says that he is afraid of you." Soleil said as they were picking up loot that were mainly miscellaneous items.

"I am sort of to blame for scaring him a little because my staring probably intimidated him a little." Adrian jokingly answered.

"If you do not mind me asking young man, what are you?" Vayu said.

"Eh, I don't understand." Adrian replied while having a dumbfounded expression.

"What my daddy meant to say was: what is your race?" You cannot be a dragonkin because your horns curve forward rather than curve backward like them. You also do not have a tail and your wings have feathers which is cool." Soleil said as a matter of fact.

"Ok then I will answer you if you also answer my question. Deal?" Adrian replied.

"Deal!" Soleil replied enthusiastically.

"I am from the Daemos race or in a much simpler term a demon. Then it is my turn to ask the question, why do you need to go inside the labyrinth? If you could show me the mission that would be fine too." Adrian said with a smile.

"Wow! Then does that mean you unlocked it by your own?! Amazing!" Soleil said as she was so excited to see other races that are not of the starting races. She then answered Adrian's question, "We need to beat the boss in this dungeon so that we could also become another race. With big brother here, it would then be a piece of cake since you already experience it once."

Adrian then calmed Soleil by saying, "I activated mine when I was at the starting village so it could be different for your mission." Adrian had a more important thought which was, "There are others who can race change like me and had not unlocked the mission so that new players could use them. It also means that there may be hidden experts that do not broadcast their rank in the leaderboards."

Adrian put all that in the back of his mind and told the father and daughter duo that he would help them with their mission in any way he can. The two then thanked Adrian a bunch of times which wasted about five minutes of their time. There was now 3 hours and 30 minutes remaining before the shroud fades and they were still at the outer edges of the labyrinth.

They made good use of their time because the wraith was guiding them to the right directions and they tried to avoid some monsters that can be avoided to minimize the time. Adrian could see his stamina bar being depleted slowly because they have been moving fast to reach the center quickly but the labyrinth was enormous and sometimes they would encounter monsters that attack them suddenly.

Monster: Corrupted Fire Elemental

Level: 62

HP: 60,000/60,000

MP: 30,000/30,000

Description: Fire elementals that were corrupted because of the experiments done to it by the Mad Warlock Cristobal. Due to them becoming corrupted, they no longer have the ability to freely wield the mana present in nature. They became extremely aggressive and would suddenly charge at other beings to engulf them in flames and turn them to ashes.

Soleil suddenly launched a fireball towards one of the ten corrupted fire elementals but it only seemed to like it rather than be damaged. It also shone brightly compared to before as it seemed to become empowered. Vayu who noticed this told his daughter to sit this fight out since the corrupted elementals became excited when hit by her fire spells.

Vayu then started his offensive with Saena's heals as support since the team did not have a dedicated tank but Adrian told Kanlaon to tank the fireballs that the corrupted fire elementals throw at them since he has high resistance. Vayu then used the chances he was given to freely attack the corrupted fire elementals.

Vayu would strike with a sword draw once and if he hits an enemy, there would be a visible wind that swirls on his sword sheath. His next few attacks also became stronger since they defeated the next corrupted fire elemental faster than the last one. Even with the support of Adrian's piercing arrows they still defeated one faster than the other and when Vayu successfully hit ten times a twister was released with his sword draw.

The twister was about five feet in circumference and it even caught the corrupted fire elementals. The twister was considered as a hard crowd control as it carried the corrupted fire elementals all the way to the path ahead by ten meters. Adrian who waited for the twister to die down used the first skill of his bow Psyche Armament 'Shooting Star'.

The father and daughter duo was really excited by the experience buff because they could see a difference in their experience bar as it becomes filled faster than without it. When they looked at Adrian, he already gained two levels while his soulbounds gained three levels which was surprising. They also know that experience points should be scarce for summoners since he has to share with his soulbounds but did not seem to be the case for Equinox. The father and daughter wanted to ask but it would be rude for anyone to spill their secrets since even Equinox himself does not ask them much.

The party continued their journey with much ease but the wraith suddenly stopped to speak, "We have reached the midpoint of the labyrinth. We will encounter much more ferocious and creatures only found in nightmares from here so be careful as they could show up anywhere."

The father and daughter did not know what the wraith was saying so they could only ask Adrian which the latter happily oblige to repeat what the wraith said. Vayu gripped his sword on his sheath tighter while Soleil was gathering the fire spirits around her as a precaution to launch them whenever necessary. Adrian also instructed Sirius to immediately signal them when a threat would appear as it would suddenly become agitated when monsters are near.

The previous fast pace they used was no longer there but was replaced by a steady pace as they cautiously proceeded forward. Sirius was in the lead as he assessed the situation. They made good progress despite having 2 hours and 40 minutes left before the shroud disappears. Sirius suddenly stopped in place and took a sniff before suddenly jumping forward and landing on a tile. The tile then submerged which triggered teeth like spikes to suddenly protrude and attempt to skewer Sirius.

"Siri-chan" Soleil shouted while Adrian did not appeared worried as Sirius appeared somewhere near Adrian immediately which startled the father and daughter duo.

The spikes then slowly withdrew after a few seconds back into the wall and the tile that submerged has emerged once again as if it never went down in the first place. Adrian who did not want to explain the situation just said with a smile as if nothing happened, "Let's go and do not step on that tile." Sirius once again led the way as it has done earlier but there was a more cautious look on its face as if it was saying, "That was close!"
