Omega Summoner

The team that will head to the western continent consists of Creepysoo, Vayu, Soleil, Lycan and Solstice. Awraka already left to do her own things as she is also needed by the Shades. She did leave jumping happily when she got a friend invite from the group. She was muttering something that they could not hear clearly.

The clue given to them is that the origin of the Mage of Scales is located at the western continent. Since Adrian is busy getting lectured or doing something else, they are now on their own for this investigation. The first location would be the western continent, but they cannot determine the exact location.

The western continent is different compared to the central continent because most of it is desert. What is even more troubling for them is that the tribe was nomadic. The tribe of the Mage of Scales will not be settling in one location. They can only look for the nomadic tribe using the information that they get from the western continent itself.

Creepysoo called for Du’an and a small rift in space appeared before him. He used the shrunken head which is the unique phones of the undead. Those shrunken heads can only be used by the undead which is why they are great at passing encrypted messages.

“Greetings, Prince. Do you need my aid?” Du’an asked.

“We need to go to the western continent.” Creepysoo stated.

“My Prince. The western continent does not fare well for undead such as you. Why do you need to go there?” Du’an asked.

“We need to find a nomadic tribe there that can give us clues about one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. I have one of my undead knights that come there. We will be fine as long as Mummie will accompany us.” Creepysoo stated.

“I can only send you guys there, my prince. I have many things to do but please be careful. Immediately contact me if you are in need of help. Should I tell Blanche and Noire to follow you?” Du’an stated.

“No need. They are also busy trying to find the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. It would be better if we look at all angles which is why I am going to do my own search with my friends. Please open the gate.” Creepysoo stated.

“Understood. I will send you to the outside of the ruin where you encountered Mummie. But from my memory, there are ten nomadic tribes in the western continent that still stick to their roots. Only three of them ride creatures that resembles horses. I hope that information will be helpful to you, my prince.” Du’an stated as all five of them got wrapped in the magic circle. They disappeared immediately after Du’an finished casting the spell.

“Since I am already here then I better visit my fellow researcher.” Du’an told himself as he floated towards Koronn’s place. He also needed to rest a bit as casting teleportation to send a group to another continent is taxing even for him.

In Neo Alfheim…

Three individuals that could be described as celebrities are currently panting hard. They are none other than Levin Cloud, Peridot and Kabrakan. They just finished the tenth wave of monsters trying to reach the Tree of Life. They have leveled up quite a bit due to the enormous experience points, but the tiredness has caught up to them.

“I cannot believe that so many monsters would try and attack the tree of life.” Peridot stated.

“They are not trying to attack the tree of life. They are trying to claim the habitat as mystical trees are beings that could transform any monster. In fact, the tree of life could even choose a powerful monster as its protector if it is severely threatened.

I just do not know if that is actually the case here as well though. Back in Alfheim, the Tree of Life there has a protector in the form of a giant Fairy Frog. It mostly uses its time sleeping as it will only move when the tree of life is in danger.” Levin Cloud stated but he did not expect something to trigger with his casual speech.

[The newly sprouted tree of life has heard of its ability to rear a guardian. It has given you a hidden quest that can help you ward of the last wave of enemies attempting to claim the area of the tree of life.]

Hidden Quest Notification!

Note: The faster you accomplish this quest then the higher chance of the Guardian aiding you in battle in the last wave.

“Guys! Help me!” Levin Cloud immediately stated as he stood up.

Levin Cloud told them of his quest, but they are not that confident. Small beasts are not easy to come across when the area was infested with powerful monsters. They also have no summoner amongst them which can help them. Just as they thought that they cannot deal with the quest, Mariposa suddenly came to check on their conditions.

The moment she heard that the Tree of Life could get a Guardian that can also aid them in the last wave, she immediately became serious. She thought that they could just buy one form the auction house but that would mean the beast will random. They cannot check on the beast as well as they might get a weak one.

“I might be a Summoner that mainly uses insects, but I am still a summoner. I can differentiate a good one from a bad one. I can detect the power level of a monster with my other senses.” Mariposa stated.

“I think the two of you could go. We will stay here just in case something happens while you are away. The last wave might be a bit far from now but that will not assure us that there are no beasts that will become stragglers.” Kabrakan stated.

“I agree. Mariposa is a big force in this siege defense. We cannot all disappear at such a crucial time.” Peridot stated but she does not want to look for a beast as she is mentally exhausted. She has been using spells continuously for quite some time and she needs to cooldown.

“I think we can do it. We only need an infant beast but finding one is also difficult. Infant beasts do not wander off alone and they are often accompanied by their mother.” Levin Cloud stated.

“The monsters around here are mostly four legged and carnivores.” Mariposa stated.

“Actually, we need to consider your guild when choosing a Guardian. What do you guys need when fighting an enemy that will siege you?” Levin Cloud asked as the guardian will also act as another layer of defense to the Evergreen Guild.

“Since Neo Alfheim is full of trees, we need a guardian that can easily maneuver inside the densely packed forest. A monkey would be good as carnivores are not a great alternative for a guardian of a Tree of Life. They need a symbiotic relationship, I think.” Mariposa stated as she wants harmony.

“The Guardian will share the life of the Tree of Life, so we need to be careful. You can choose a carnivorous beast since the Guardian will become a being that shares life with the tree of life. You will not need to feed it with meat.” Levin Cloud stated.

“If that is the case then follow me. I have an idea and the habitats of those monsters are close as well.” Mariposa stated as she summoned her soulbound to carry Levin Cloud.

Creepysoo, Vayu, Soleil, Lycan and Solstice arrived at the western continent, and they were immediately greeted by a sandstorm upon arriving. They all got separated in the end and were split into two groups. Lycan got stuck with Creepysoo and Soleil while Solstice and Vayu got paired up.

Since the sandstorm is something that regularly occurs, they did think that they could weather it down. What they did not expect is the fact that the Curse of Sett activated which tripled the power of the sandstorm. They all got blown away in different directions as if something is watching them from a far. But them splitting up is also a blessing because a fortuitous encounter happened to Lycan’s group.
