Omega Summoner

Chapter 658: What are they hiding?

”If you really are scared of me then I suggest that you shut up now. I might suddenly sneeze and get you blown off.” Peridot stated with a smile that is not a smile.

”The most important thing right now would be to know the reason why they are claiming the mountain for a week. You said that this is a zone where anyone can come right, and it has been agreed upon by all the powerhouses of the eastern continent?

There must be something inside the mountain that the House of the Azure Dragon must want to have no matter what. Could it be the large lightning magic stone?” Adrian asked as it might be related to his quest.

”Are you kidding me? They would rather but it from you than act this way. This is the reason why some youths want to mine here as the House of the Azure Dragon would pay a hefty amount for those who find a lightning magic stone.

There must be something else that is present in the mountain that is more precious than a large lightning magic stone. That is what we need to find out.” Peridot stated.

”Why would we need to find out again?” Adrian stated as his face twisted to a mischievous grin.

”My feelings and your feeling were really hurt earlier. We should let them pay us back the remuneration for emotional damage.” Peridot stated as she also had a mischievous smile on her face.

”I suddenly had the goosebumps.” Saru muttered to himself as he could now see why Master Equinox and his Mistress are friends.

”Saru, why do you think they are putting their resources in locking the mountain at this time?” Peridot asked as she knew that at least her bodyguard would have an idea.

”I do not know exactly, Mistress. All I know is that the lightning in the mountain intensifies during this timeframe which is why no one dares to go to the peak when it is this season.” Saru replied.

”It is decided then. We will go to the peak.” Adrian announced which Peridot agreed.

”I think we should be more worried about the people that will come after us. I am pretty sure that the House of the Azure Dragon does not take us kindly for embarrassing one of their members. They would surely try to kill us in the mountain even if they got banned forever.” Saru stated.

”You do not have to worry about that Saru as he can revive me if he really dies. Even he can revive himself, I would say that we have a cheat character in our group right now. But promise me that you will runaway if both of us did fall in battle. That is an order from me as you only have one life.” Peridot stated as she knows that she can respawn, but Saru cannot.

”I will surely need to return back to the manor alive to meet Mistress from her sleep.” Saru promised as he knows that his Mistress is not a normal being because she can come back to life albeit weaker.

As Adrian and his group are gliding to the sky, fierce lightning bolts started raining down on them. They were forced to land as Kanlaon could not easily dodge such fast-lightning bolts. They could no longer take a shortcut to their way to the top and would need to climb the mountain by foot.

”What the heck was that! It felt like the lightning was alive and is actively targeting us. There are no such thing as sentient lightning bolts! Come one!” Adrian screamed but a lightning bolt suddenly hit near his leg which made him clamp up.

”It just means that we cannot go the easy way. Even I have my doubts that the mountain is easily climbed by flying mounts. If that is the case, then the peak would have been easily reached by people. There are not a lot of youths that are able to climb all the way to the peak.” Peridot stated as she remembered that the peak is not easily reached.

Those that tried to climb Mt. Thunder surrendered half-way because of the sever weather conditions and the unexpected lightning bolts raining down from the sky. They all gave up because of the severe damage that each lightning bolt possessed.

”Do not worry, Master Equinox. You can definitely mine a large lightning magic stone even at the middle area at this time of year.” Saru assured but Adrian wanted to reach the peak.

Adrian suddenly summoned Sirius and told him to swallow them in the shadow realm. Guards from the House of the Azure Dragon suddenly arrived in their location and is definitely searching for someone. They even have their weapons out which meant that they are determined to kill whoever they are searching for.

After the guards stopped searching the area, Adrian and the others came out of the shadow realm as the coast was clear. Adrian could clearly see that the House of the Azure Dragon meant business and they are serious about killing those that do not turn back.

”They were clearly out for blood. Whatever they want to achieve here in this mountain is definitely something very important. They are willing to kill a successor from a prestigious house.” Adrian stated but Saru corrected him.

”They would probably take the Mistress as hostage until the week is over, but they would definitely kill the both of us.” Saru stated as no one would dare touch the successor for the House of Creation unless they are brain dead.

”Regardless, I am now extremely intrigued on why they are acting like this. The other lords will definitely voice their opinions on this matter.” Peridot stated.

”They would have if the opposition were larger. Have you noticed that there were no one except those from the House of the Azure Dragon when we were flying? They definitely bribed those that wanted to enter the mountain for a week. It cannot be a coincidence that no youth from the eastern continent is training here when the conditions are the best.” Adrian stated which both Peridot and Saru agreed.
