Omega Summoner

Chapter 1302: Side Story: Necronomicon V

Creepysoo could see the three headed dog sleeping in front of the door. He knows that the Cerberus has a certain radius where it could take on the scent of anyone in the room. The moment he steps in just one more meter, the Cerberus would immediately stand up and become alert.

He already knew that one of the steps is bypassing the Cerberus, but he did not think that it would be placed just above him. He often sees Cerberus placed just before the exit above. It seems that the God of Death Hades has rearranged the layout of the castle as a means to increase the security of the realm.

Despite Hades not located at the deepest layer of the underworld, the souls that are locked below the castle of the God Hades are not pushovers. The fact that the God of Death Hades himself is their warden makes them even more menacing because he is one of the strongest death gods.

The sons of the God Abaddon to the Goddess Nox are also staying at Hades as people working under the God Hades. This makes a bold statement that the God Abaddon has full trust on the God Hades. Even the Undead King Arthur told Creepysoo that after the God Abaddon, it is the God Hades that he respects the most.

”Thank goodness my inventory is not locked or else I will not be able to finish this part.” Creepysoo stated as he pulled a gigantic chicken leg cut from his inventory. It is meat from a cockatrice which is said to be the juiciest monster available to those at the level 200s.

”Frankie, go and make sure that the Cerberus smells that. I know that you will be the one to make me proud buddy.” Creepysoo stated as the patchwork zombie that he accepted has no other skills other than being very tanky with great regeneration.

Frankie nodded in response and immediately ran like crazy the moment he got the cockatrice leg. The moment Frankie entered the detection zone of the Cerberus, the three headed dog immediately stood up and appeared immediately next to Frankie. Just as the Cerberus is about to destroy Frankie, all six of its eyes got enamored towards the cockatrice leg.

”It is enamored. Mummie!” Creepysoo shouted as bandages suddenly bound the three headed dog of the underworld.

The moment Mummie bound the Cerberus, Creepysoo already summoned Don Quixote and rode with him towards the gate. The Cerberus did not let this take it down as it burned the bandages using hellfire which burned them to ashes. The Cerberus then saw Creepysoo reaching for the gate that it is protecting.

It seems that the Cerberus has more responsibility that it would forgo its hunger as it did not look at the cockatrice leg. Frankie threw the cockatrice leg towards the Cerberus, and it hit one of the heads which angered the beast. It did not stop it though as it still went towards Creepysoo.

The Patchwork Zombie did not like this as it has pledged its allegiance to Creepysoo and hugged the leg of the three headed dog.

As Frankie held one of the legs of the Cerberus, it slowed down the movement of the Cerberus but only by a small margin. Since Creepysoo did not want to hurt the Cerberus that much since it was only doing its duty, he cast curses that made it sleep but the duty of the Cerberus kept it from being affected.

Seeing that even Mummieʼs bandages are not restraining the guard dog of the underworld, Creepysoo also summoned Voodoo Marie as she would be needed to restrain the Cerberus using her hexes that increases Creepysooʼs hexes.

Both Creepysoo and Voodoo Marieʼs hexes started to take effect on the Cerberus as its movements started to get sluggish. Still, the Cerberus is still powerful enough to kill him with just one attack. Creepysoo knew that he needs to think unconventionally if he should be able to get out of this floor.

”Curse of Hunger!” Creepysoo casted and Voodoo Marie casted Hex to amplify the curse so that it affects the Cerberus.

When the Cerberus was about a meter away from Creepysoo, it suddenly came to a halt as its hunger overtook its sense of duty. The Cerberus turned around and charged towards the cockatrice leg that is lying on the floor. The slobber of the Cerberus started leaking on the floor as all three heads fought over which one gets to eat.

”Does it not have one body? Why are the heads fighting over the food?” Creepysoo thought but he immediately forgot that as he pushed the door open.

”It seems you need to feed Cerby more or else it will be succumbed from hunger.” The Goddess Persephone stated.

”You have been feeding him too much as he already has a bulge in his stomach. You need to make him exercise more in order to make him stronger. Do not pamper him too much or else he would become spoiled.” The God Hades stated as he knows that the souls of the dead cannot really carry food to the underworld.

Creepysoo passed through the next door and arrived at a room that is like a frozen wasteland. It is filled with snow and even the wind is cold. This place is what they call ʼHell Freezing Overʼ as everything is frozen even the souls. If one thought that the place is filled with frozen trees, then they are wrong because the trees are souls of sinners that froze over in this area.

[You cannot fight the cold as this place chills the soul.]

[You need to protect your soul or else you will freeze over in just one hour.]

The notifications warned Creepysoo that he will become a frozen corpse if he does not solve this problem. An idea popped inside of Creepysooʼs head since there is nothing in this part of the castle that can produce heat. He looked towards Voodoo Marie who is also shivering from the cold.

”Curse us with the Burning Soul curse.” Creepysoo stated as Voodoo Marie looked at him with concern but ultimately agreed with his commands.

Voodoo Marie marked all the undead knights as well as Creepysoo and used the Burning Soul Curse that aims at the soul of the targets. When afflicted by this curse, the targets will feel immense heat coursing through their bodies as it turns a part of their mana into flames. Voodoo Marie carefully controlled the output by regulating the heat as all of them safely passed by the frozen wasteland floor.

One after the other, Creepysoo took creative ways to finish the floors and reached the last area which is the ground level of the castle. He would finish the quest as long as he gets out of the castle gate. He expected to be blocked by the guards of the castle, but he did not expect the being that he confronts.

”You have done well in climbing to the ground floor and I commend you for that, but it is not yet over because I am the last one you need to deal with.” The God Hades stated as he blocked the door of the castle by himself.

All the souls that are going for judgement stepped aside as they looked at the King of Hades face an undead. Just as Creepysoo is about to prepare for battle, a powerful and fierce aura suddenly blazed behind the God hades that made him freeze.

”Darling, what is the meaning of this?” The Goddess Persephone stated but the God Hades is afraid to look behind him as he knows that his wife will not let this go.

The God Hades might be cool headed, but he has a personality that does not want to be challenged. He could get very petty especially if the defenses that he thought up were creatively bypassed by Creepysoo. He felt that he needed to blow off some steam by hitting Creepysoo with a few hits, but his wife did not like what he was thinking.

The next thing that all of the ones gathered in the hallway saw is the God Hades being buried halfway into the hallway. It seems that the Goddess Persephone does not want her husband to become childish in front of the souls that he would be assessing which is why she gave Creepysoo a free pass.

[You have completed the quest: Escape the Castle of Hades]

[You have gained the approval of the God of Death Hades to use the Necronomicon.]

[You were given approval of three god of deaths to use the Necronomicon.]

[The God of Death Abaddon summons you.]

Creepysoo did not even manage t react as his body vanished into thin air and appeared in front of the gigantic God of Death Abaddon. The God Abaddon then held out his hand as a small book is handed towards Creepysoo. Creepysoo reached out his hand and a chain bound itself to his arm along with the Necronomicon.

[You have acquired the Lesser Copy of the Necronomicon.]
