Omega Summoner

Adrian returned to see on what Wisteria’s situation is now. The chrysalis has no indication that it will open up, but Adrian could feel that Wisteria is in good condition. She seems to be absorbing some kind of power, but he does not know what it is and could only pray that she will be able to evolve safely. Adrian is still a bit afraid that Wisteria will not evolve properly as there are some summoners having soulbounds that do not evolve with the path that they have chosen.

“Since that is the case, I should check on which item I will use first.” Adrian stated as he looked at the Key to Daedalus’ Labyrinth and the ‘A Forgotten Time God’s Relic’.

Both of these items give some sort of trial, but the last one will be all used up once he activates it. Adrian looked at the Key to Daedalus’ Labyrinth and it really looked like a Rubik’s Cube that is made of marble. It looked quite old and dusty that one might think that it is just an old broken toy. Adrian finally decided to look at the labyrinth first because he can just retry as it is always usable.

“Maybe… this is not just the only key available? Maybe there might be more scattered in the world and some players should have them as well. A dungeon that you can transfer to just by having a key is not a normal occurrence. If there are other keys out there then the fact that the labyrinth still exist means that no one has conquered it yet.” Adrian thought as he grabbed the relic for five seconds.

Adrian actually felt his surroundings suddenly shift like he was teleporting. The teleportation was not immediate like his spells, but it teleports the user in layers. The first to be transported is the physical body of the key holder and then the rest follows. This must be the reason why it takes five seconds of uninterrupted time in order to be sent to the labyrinth.

[You have arrived at Everchanging Labyrinth.]

“Huh? I thought this was the Key to Daedalus’ Labyrinth. Well, anyone could name an item so maybe that old man named the key like he owns the Labyrinth. Adrian stated as he looked around and is a bit disturbed by what he saw.

“Master, we are inside a dungeon.” Kenos stated as it was the most proficient of space magic among all of his soulbounds due to its nature.

“To think that such a dungeon is possible.” Adrian stated as he could feel that this dungeon is connected to another dungeon.

If Adrian’s guess is correct, then the Everchanging Labyrinth is a collection of dungeons stacked together. Adrian could feel numerous types of distinct special spaces stacked against each other. He does not know who or what created the Everchanging Labyrinth, but he is quite sure that this being should at least be at the realm of a god. He even thought that a God of Space created it as only they could bend the laws that well to interweave dungeons together.

[Your identity has been proven due to having the key to the labyrinth even if it is a copy of the master key.]

[You can now start the traversal of the Everchanging Labyrinth.]

[The being that can reach the end of the Everchanging Labyrinth can receive a special item at the depths of the location.]

[Participants can eliminate each other by taking away their key.]

[Those that die by having their key taken away will no longer be allowed to return to the Everchanging Labyrinth.]

[Each floor will have special set of rules that are strictly enforced.]

[If a participant is judged to be cheating or not following the rules then they will receive a warning for the first violation. The punishment for the first violation is 10% stats debuff. Each succeeding violation will increase the duration and severity of the punishment. Please strictly follow the rules of the Everchanging Labyrinth.]

[You are currently on the first floor of the Everchanging Labyrinth.]

[On the first floor of the Everchanging Labyrinth, the participant is not restricted in using any means except for flight. This also extends to summoned monsters or pets when they go over the wall.]

Adrian was bombarded with notifications that he almost wanted it to stop and make a quick exit from the Everchanging Labyrinth. The first floor was actually a hedge maze that spanned in a large area. The way to clear this floor is none other than traversing the hedge maze and finding the stairs to the next destination. Since it is a maze, the destination is the middle of the entire structure.

“Sirius, Kimat, and Dodu find the optimal route. Take one small Dodu each so that we can interact with one another should there be some sort of soul interference in the maze.” Adrian commanded as he summoned his three soulbounds as the entrance already separated into three paths.

“Yes, master.” The three soulbounds stated but they looked at each other with this eager eyes.

Sirius melted into the shadows and headed towards the left path. He made sure to hide himself as there might be enemies inside the maze. There was no telling what dangers and traps there are which is why he decided to use shadows along the way to test for them. Kimat is different as he went to the middle path and blitzed like lightning. One would think that he would be heavy for his build and size, but he is actually incredibly nimble and fast.

Kimat used his speed to his advantage as he thought that he can just activate the traps but ignore them due to his fast reflexes. Dodu is the opposite as it walked in a normal pace and splits its body when it encounters forks in the path. Dodu would traverse all of the forks and paths in its side compared to Sirius and Kimat’s side where they needed to take their time.
