Omega Summoner

[Your soulbound Sirius has leveled up.]

[Your soulbound Kanlaon has leveled up.]

[Your soulbound Saena has leveled up.]

The experience given by the boss monster was enough to level up Adrian’s soulbounds. Saena is also close to leveling up once again. One more mini-boss and Saena will level up once more by Adrian’s estimation. Adrian finally relaxed as his bow was becoming his demi-gauntlets once again but the raid party members are now looking at him differently.

Some are looking with awe while some with discontent looks due to their jealousy of not being useful enough. Mariposa and Cersei though wanted to ask Adrian why his skill was so full of oppressive force but opted not to. Obviously Adrian have secrets of his own and they are still in the development phase in terms of friendship.

Mariposa once again took charge and told the raid party to recollect themselves as there are still four more floors. She did however did not tell the raid group that the dungeon seems to have become difficult. Although they have already cleared this hidden dungeon, the Evergreen guild only managed to clear it five times.

The token to activate this hidden dungeon was a very rare drop from the extreme cycle Stone Golem. Mariposa feared that the hidden dungeon might have entered the extreme cycle which the guild has yet to experience. She could only pray that the layout did not change much and the boss was still a Magma Boa.

She urged the group to hurry and pick up the drops. Adrian did not pick up drops because he told Cersei that he will forfeit his rights for the items as payment for participating. Cersei was about to tell Adrian that he did not need to but Mariposa said yes. In return, should Adrian need raid party members then he will ask Cersei and Mariposa first if he is in need of members.

Cersei wanted to retort Mariposa but the latter only told her to accept Adrian’s proposal because he was too adamant about it. Mariposa also secretly told Cersei that she will let Adrian pick an item as a “souvenir” for their raid and the latter also thought that was a good idea. They need to forge a friendship not a one sided relationship.

The rest of the raid party did not inquire of the skill as their commanders did not do so. The healer that was paired with Adrian praised him though as he did great with the mini-boss. The healer was actually a player that chose the gnome race and her name was Miracle. Adrian saw that she had great timing when it comes to healing allies but she is easily flustered.

Adrian accepted the complement and also praised her as it was common courtesy. The drops of the Recluse Spider Queen was a few gold coins, a shield and a silver soul stone. Adrian did not fancy the soul stone as he did not like immobile soulbounds. The Recluse Spider Queen might be a tank but she was more like fortress. It does not fit Adrian’s playstyle but he also forfeited his rights for items.

After collecting everything, the raid party continued downwards and they noticed that the temperature actually became hotter. Adrian was fine due to the capabilities of his socketed Gem of Water in his armor. They continued down and could feel that the walls of the dungeon were hot. A few minutes later, they encountered a bridge made of stone and below it a river of magma.

“Be careful traversing the bridge. You will need speed to traverse this one as there are Magma Archerfishes. The will shoot magma towards you if they see you cross the stone bridge. There may be other dangers so always be alert. The trick here is to be quick. Some will ride my soulbounds but these two can only carry two at a time.” Mariposa commanded.

“Sirius can carry one at a time.” A voice sounded which their gazes went towards to that who spoke and it was Adrian.

“I mean my soulbound would be able to carry one person. I also think that we must lessen the weight because tanks usually carry heavy armor so it will affect the speed of the soulbounds.” Adrian explained.

“That is actually a good idea. This game does emulate the laws of physics to some extent. We should do that. Tanks keep your equipment in your inventory first.” Mariposa commanded.

The raid members were shocked because their Vice Guild Leader heeded the advice of an outsider but they followed without voicing their opinions.

“I will go first then.” Adrian stated as he hopped on Sirius’ back and they traversed the rock bridge that was about five hundred meters.

Mariposa was about to warn Adrian but the latter has already traversed a quarter of the bridge. The Magma Archerfishes showed their heads and tried shooting the magma with their mouths but Sirius already passed them and they reached the end without any difficulties. Sirius then ran back to the group awaiting his next passenger although he did not like the idea of letting someone other than Adrian on his back. ℴ𝘮

In just a few seconds, they traversed the whole bridge and back. Mariposa had to hand it to the wolf soulbound as it was both strong and fast. Her armored dragonfly and giant praying mantis still needed time to traverse it because they do not have much strength compared to Sirius.

At first the other people were wary of Sirius because they thought he might bite them but the wolf seemed annoyed that they are being too slow. Sirius bit the scruff of Miracles’ clothes and flipped her in the air then she landed on Sirius’ back. She was then taken for a fast ride across the stone bridge. She was hanging for her life the entire time they were traversing the bridge.

….

All of them made it pass the bridge. Some were grazed by the Magma Archerfishes but it was eventually healed. Some wanted to puke because of the super-fast ride. Those who wanted to puke were secretly admiring Adrian because the young boy looked fine.

Once the tanks equipped their items once again, the party continued on their way. The terrain now changed from the rocky walls to walls that pour in magma and there are even puddles of magma here and there. The raid party now had to be mindful of their location as they might accidentally kill themselves.

A few moments later, monsters are emerging from the bigger puddles of magma. The monsters that emerged are best described as giant frilled neck lizards that are red and orange in color. They are frilled neck because when they saw the raid party, the frills on their neck expanded that made their size larger and more menacing.

Monster: Agamagma

Level: 106

HP: 800,000 / 800, 000

MP: 500,000 / 500,000

Description: Agamagma are giant lizards said to take nest in the hottest of environments especially on volcanoes where there is an abundance of magma which is their food source. If threatened it will enlarge its body size by opening its frill in an attempt to intimidate its opponent. It sleeps in the magma so that it does not die because if its body goes below 10 degree Celsius then it will turn sluggish and eventually lead to its death.

There are currently ten Agamagma which rose from the magma puddles. The raid party once again split into their respective groups and faced two Agamagma’s each. The battle was intense but relatively safe. Some of the Agamagmas that become low in health would retreat to a magma puddle and return after restoring some of its health.

Due to this occurrence, the tanks would intercept a fleeing Agamagma and the damage dealers would then finish them off. Not all were lucky though as some of the enemies were faster and would escape before they are killed. The battle lasted about three hours due to the behavior of the Agamagma which led some to lose stamina.

The intense heat coupled with the intense battle made the stamina bars of each member of the raid plummet. Adrian was fine due to his armor’s socketed runestone but the others did not fare well. Adrian had to take charge of the battle and Sirius was perfect because this time the enemies could bleed.

“Phantom Rush” Adrian commanded.

Sirius broke free from the restraints of time and space. He then attacked all the Agamagma’s that now numbered to twenty. The other raid members could only catch a glimpse of Sirius’ shadow or afterimage. The next thing they know is the Agamagma they are facing are turning into particles of light.

Mariposa was once again impressed by Sirius as she could slightly follow the latter’s movements due to her peculiar eyesight. She made a mental note to find what species this wolf that was owned by Adrian was as she was interested in asking her other summoner guild members to get one.

Sirius cleaned up the battlefield relatively easy but he was still tired. Adrian had to give him rest with food and water as high heat environments are not Sirius’ forte. Mariposa was about to command the others to rest but she then heard a hissing sound. She was definitely sure this was the boss but it should still be a few floors below.
