Omega Summoner

Chapter 861: Dungeon Climbing I

[Reach the end of the dungeon in order to clear it. Killing monsters will contribute to rolling a better reward.]

”Finally, something interesting. This dungeon is a bit different from the ones that we have already did. Loot up!” Solstice stated as she pointed to another layer of clouds.

”If you look around, this dungeon looks like it is circular in area. The next floor looks to be about two hundred meters above us.” Lycan stated as he already looked around the area.

”There are no monsters in this area though. I expected that we would already be greeted with attacks, but this might be just a straightforward climb for this floor.” Adrian stated as he commanded Kanlaon to keep moving forward.

As Kanlaon move upward, the group could feel a bit of pressure pressing down on them. It seems that the challenge for this floor is to safely pass upward even with blasts of air pushing them downwards. The gusts of air pushing them down is not that difficult to counter as Kanlaon could just control the temperature of the wind.

Kanlaon would cool down the air blowing through them to slow down the effect of the pushing air. It only took about ten minutes to get up to the next floor. They pierced through the clouds to get to the next floor, and they were greeted with the first monsters in that area.

The first monsters in the dungeon that they have seen could be described as giant pea shooters. The giant pea shooters are attached to the bean stalk as if they are orchids feeding on the energy of the great bean stalk. The giant pea shooters also get activated if they are in a radius of fifty meters near them.

What is frightening about the giant pea shooters are their accuracy. The peas that the giant pea shooters fires are almost as fast as the speed of sound. Kanlaon could not even try destroying these monsters as moving close to them would make other giant pea shooters activate.

Kanlaonʼs breath attack could only travel so far in a range about thirty meters. Adrian wanted to summon another soulbound, but he was suggested to just push through by his two companions. They do not need to waste time on monsters that do not specifically target them.

Kanlaon just put up a barrier made of ice and fire to protect them from the incoming projectiles. For projectiles that manage to pierce through the elemental barrier that Kanlaon created, Solstice or Lycan would do their best to intercept them.

About thirty meters before they pierce through the clouds to the next room, about fifty giant pea shooters suddenly activated. All of the fifty giant pea shooters fired two shots each which meant about a hundred pea projectiles are now aimed at their group.

Adrian knew that Kanlaon will be hit by the barrage of giant pea projectiles that even the other two cannot block for them. He immediately activated Quantum Repulsion to push away the giant pea projectiles as soon as they hit the elemental barrier that Kanlaon created.

Thankfully, all of the giant pea shooters fired at the same time which means that their pea projectiles almost landed at the same time. Even Adrian cannot do the timing correctly which is why he used Time Stop for about one second to time the Quantum Repulsion correctly.

Solstice and Lycan almost got a heart attack when they saw one hundred pea projectiles hit the elemental barrier that Kanlaon created. They also witnessed the same one hundred projectiles being sent back with the same force that they got fired.

Some of the stray giant pea projectiles managed to hit the giant pea shooters that damaged the plant. The damage plants could no longer reload for about one minute. With lesser giant pea shooters aiming at them, Solstice and Lycan could now protect Kanlaon from the upcoming pea projectiles.

The group pierced through the clouds and the climb is now longer than the previous floor. The next cloud formation is about three hundred meters away. It also became more difficult because some sort of barrier is now protecting the next cloud formation.

A greenish thin film could be seen protecting the clouds above them as even the bird monsters flying in this floor could not penetrate it. As soon as Kanlaon fully entered the next floor, a notification suddenly popped up in front of everyone.

[Find the fake bird monster and kill it to advance to the next floor.]

Their current floor has thousands upon thousands of bird monsters that varied in sizes. Some is about an inch long while the biggest is about three meters. Adrian immediately summoned his Primordial Armament: Bow in order to shoot down the bird monsters.

”We must hunt down the fake bird monster. But how do we know which one is fake?” Solstice asked.

”I tried using my vision to see if there is one that does not have a soul but there are too many around here to be sure. I cannot focus on each of them because they also fly around. Can you test if the cloud below us is solid enough to stand on?” Adrian stated as Solstice flew and dropped on the cloud.

As soon as her feet met the cloud floor, she sunk to about half, and she even went down the previous floor. It seems that the setting for this dungeon is not what they think. The clouds might look like solid things that can be stepped on, but they are still essentially water vapor.

”Lycan can have the support of Kanlaon. Decimate as many monsters as possible that you can while being supported by Kanlaon. You must always keep an eye out for him or else you might get sent back down to the ground the hard way.” Adrian stated as the three split up.

Adrian unfurled his wings and flew to one zone of the circular floor. Solstice did what Adrian did and flew using her mastery in wind magic that other vampire use as a way to fly. Lycan is supported by Kanlaon in order to stay afloat.
