Omega Summoner

Chapter 1025: Finding the Next Trace I

Creepysoo, Solstice, Lycan, Vayu and Soleil managed to regroup after a day. They were only able to do so thanks to the elementals in the area. The lesser sand elementals were called upon by Vayu and Soleil which led them back to their separated groups.

”I think we need to split up.” Solstice stated.

”We just regrouped and now you want us to separate again?” Creepysoo stated.

”We will cover more ground that way, but we can assign you a babysitter if you want one.” Lycan stated.

”I do not need one. I am a perfectly fine legal adult.” Creepysoo replied as he does not want to be considered a child.

”We will separate in four directions. I will go north while Lycan will go south. Creepysoo will go east while Vayu and Soleil will go west. As soon as you get information of the nomadic tribe that rides on steeds, verify it first and then report to our group chat.” Solstice stated.

All of them then separated to head on the direction they are assigned at. Solstice headed north and reached a small city five hours. The city could be said to be also filled with players, but she did not like the stares of the people. It seems that someone wearing a full plate of golden armor is not always seen in this area.

Even the other people dared not to answer her when she questioned them. She had no choice but to go and ask another player for information. Fortunately, the players are somewhat friendly and told her that nomadic tribes usually move in different areas depending on the cycle of the moon.

She gave this information to everyone, and they also sent the things that they have found out. For Creepysooʼs side, he learned that the nomadic tribes often stay near oases. Lycan learned that the nomadic tribes that ride on beasts often go to areas filled with herbivorous prey. Vayu and Soleil are still looking for clues as they have yet to reach a city.

”If not for my disguise, I would never be invited inside a city. Thankfully, I managed to talk to one of the merchants in the area and learned that a nomadic tribe that rides beasts are near here. I should go check them before I report it to the group.” Creepysoo stated as he searched for a member of the nomadic tribe currently trading within the city.

In just a few moments, he found the nomadic tribe members that he is looking for. They look very well built and have the auras of great hunters in the deserts. Their visage even intimidated Creepysoo quite a bit but he mustered up the courage to talk to them.

”Hello?” Creepysoo stated.

”Yes? Do you need us for something?” the female leader of the nomads asked. They are great warriors, so it is not strange for some people to hire them to kill monsters.

”I am wondering if you know about Tulpars?” Creepysoo asked as the Tulpar are the greatest steed that the rider of the west utilized.

”Tulpars? Are you pertaining to the legends of those steeds? I am afraid that they are just stories of the past that has been passed down to nomadic tribes that ride monsters.” The female leader stated.

”Do you know of the nomadic tribe that is stated in the legend? I want to meet them since I am curious of the Tulpars. As you can see, I am not a resident of the western continent, and I am researching them. I will pay you guys for information of the nomadic tribe.” Creepysoo stated.

Creepysoo looked at the reaction of the female leader and the others of her group. He could feel that they are somewhat shocked as Creepysoo knows about the Tulpar but the fact he is looking for the nomadic tribe is suspicious.

”I am sorry but the nomadic tribe that is stated in that legend has been made up. All the nomadic tribes just say that story to inspire the young ones in getting their fellow steeds. It is just a tale created for convenience. I even gasped when I learned that the story is just made up.” The female leader stated with a smile, but Creepysoo could see that she is hiding something.

”I see. Thank you for your time. Please take this gold coin for wasting your time.” Creepysoo stated and the female leader happily accepted it.

Creepysoo then vanished into the crowd, but he just turned invisible. Voodoo Marie then appeared behind him as she casted a Tracking Hex on the female leader. Voodoo Marie has an ability to discern lies to a certain extent and she detected that the female leader of the nomads lied when she said that the legends were just a made-up story.

”Does it make sense that a foreigner to ask a question about our ancestors?ʼ One of the nomads asked as he knows that secret is not known to most.

”It does not but I lied to him just to be sure as we do not know if he is a threat. We shall go and report this to the elder as it just tells us that someone might be looking for our tribe. We shall now stop our services for now as we do not know who is looking out for us. Make sure that we are not followed.” The female leader stated.

All of the members of her team rode on their steeds that are different desert monsters to reach their current settlement. They made sure to cover their tracks by blowing the sand behind them while going back. Little did they know that it is all useless to an undead that cannot be blinded.

”Follow them, Don Quixote. Make sure that we are not seen nor heard so make sure to use the sky.” Creepysoo stated as Don Quixoteʼs horse neighed silently and galloped across the skies while bluish spectral flames are burning on its hooves.
