Omega Summoner

Chapter 359: Spelunking in the Past

”Are we seriously going to do this? I mean, those Gods of Time and Space that you keep telling me might get a whiff of my presence in the past.” Adrian stated as he tried backing down from going to the past.

”I do not want to know what this divine punishment that I would receive when I get caught. I might get reduced stats for like a year or my character might get erased from existence.” Adrian thought to himself.

”Why are you backing down right now? It was your idea! You must gather up some courage and put it into action. Do not worry because I would pull you out before the time, I could shield you from the eyes of the Gods of Time and Space. I say gods but they are more like a machine because they rarely have feelings.” Pann stated.

”Why do you mean machine? I met Father time in one of the death realms if I remember correctly. He felt very human.” Adrian replied.

”Do you really think that one god could control all of time or all of space? If that was the case, then the dark gods would not have been able to come to our universe if that was the case. There was a god that ruled over time and space, but that god has been forgotten even to us who live forever.

Anyways, I will send you to a time I remember where slimes are plenty. You just have to remember not to interact with anyone in that era. You are also not allowed to summon any of your soulbounds because they are not present in that era per se.” Pann stated as he suddenly tossed Adrian towards Bessyʼs mouth.

”Wait! I have not prepared yet!” Adrian shouted in protest, but Bessyʼs mouth already closed and all he saw was darkness.

”You will be fine. I think?” Pann muttered but Adrian did not hear it because he was already on his way to the past.

====

[You are now travelling to the past.]

[You only have one hour to spend in the past before Pannʼs protection disappears.]

Adrian is currently travelling to a channel to the past that Pann has already determined. He does not know what to expect when he arrives. He hopes that his Glamour would be enough to make him inconspicuous.

Adrian then looked at the channel he is travelling in and is rather not that amazed. The channel was rather normal and just looked like he was inside of a giant tunnel that had some twinkling lights inside. Suddenly, light assaulted Adrianʼs eyes which made him close it while his body became so light that it feels like he is floating in space.

[You have arrived at your destination.]

Adrian opened his eyes, and he was inside of a cave. He immediately activated Glamour so that he could better blend in. He did not want to be known as a demon because the Daemos are rather a tight knit community.

Adrian then went outside the cave and is greeted by the rays of light from the sun. The smell of the surrounding is that of a forest as he could smell the scent of musty and fresh leaves at the same time.

”I can do this. Slimes are said to be Janitors of the Forest so there should be some here.” Adrian muttered to himself as he prevented himself from releasing his soulbounds.

”If I can use Sirius then it would be a breeze.” Adria muttered as he started to crawl and look behind the tall bushes.

After a few minutes, Adrian suddenly heard commotion a few meters away from his location. He decided to check it out stealthily because they might be hostile.

”Soul Form Transformation.” Adrian muttered as his body changed to an incorporeal form.

Adrian followed the sound of the commotion that seems to be coming at the center of the forest. A few seconds of floating later, Adrian saw an unlikely group of individuals fighting together. The group that he saw consisted of a human, a dragonkin, and a demon.

The three of them looked like they are in their pubescent age but that could only be true for the human. They are currently fighting a Red Bear which is a red-haired bear that can ignite the furs on its body. It also looks like that all of them are struggling. Adrian wanted to use his evil eye on them to see their stats, but they could perceive the skill being cast on them.

”Since they are fighting the Red Bear, they must only be in the 70s.” Adrian thought to himself as he started to walk away until he heard their conversation.

”We came here to exterminate the slimes because we will get one gold for ten slimes killed. We did not come here to fight a Red Bear. This thing does not even have valuable fur or meat because it immolates itself when it is close to death.” The dragonkin grumbled as he used his spear to damage the Red Bear.

”Allen told us that slimes are plenty in this forest, but we have been searching for an hour, yet we have yet to find one.” The demon grumbled.

”It is not my fault that everyone even farmers started hunting the slimes. They are quite easy to kill if you can use magic. Even basic magic could kill them if you perfectly aim for the core.” The human named Allen replied. Adrianʼs ears perked up when he heard of the word ʼslimeʼ.

”It seems that the one-hour time limit is not for naught because I have been directly sent to a place where slimes are plenty. The only troubling thing is that Pann sent me to a time when slime extermination is happening.” Adrian thought as he went deeper into the forest as he does not realize that he did not bring the Cube of Paradox with him to the past.
