Omega Summoner

“As long as your task for my champion is within acceptable boundaries then by all means give him the task. Take it as repayment for the favor that you have given him.” Abaddon said casually to Nox.

“Then I shall take that statement as a promise. My task is very simple and it does not have a time limit since even I do not know where that person is currently hiding. Find my former herald and drag her to my location.” The goddess Nox said with a mixture of anger and disdain.

Adrian was wondering what the former herald of the Goddess of Night did as she exuded killing intent when she talked about dragging her here to the Nether Realm. If Adrian’s guess is correct, the former herald must have betrayed the goddess during the war with the dark gods. Unlike Argent who was only punished for her misdemeanor and was later judged to be executed due to becoming allied with the dark gods, the Goddess of Night’s herald must have done something to greatly weaken the goddess as she needed to be hidden in a mysterious realm just to recuperate.

“From the looks of it, you might have already guessed why I want her to be dragged here. She was the reason why I lost great power during the war or to be precise, we would have won easily if the other heralds did not betray their patron gods. Though only small in number, their betrayal was a significant blow on our fighting forces as they weakened some of us.” The goddess Nox said as she was seething in anger.

A system prompt then appeared before Adrian after the goddess was finished explaining what happened.

*DRAG HER TO THE ABYSS*

The goddess Nox wants you to find her former herald that betrayed her and drag her to the goddess’ location. Use whatever means necessary as long as you finish your goal as the former herald is a threat to the world itself.

Reward: Oblivion Skill Book

Requirements: Find the former herald of the Goddess of Night and drag her to the goddess’ location in the Nether Realm.

Failure: None

Time Limit: None

[Do you wish to accept the quest?] ℴ

Adrian did not bat an eye and accepted the quest since there was no failure punishment and there was no time limit because if gods have one thing that any other mortal wants that would be time. Gods are eternal beings, they may become weakened but they could revive again even if they were severely damaged. There were some exceptions of course and that would be if they were hit by the twin god’s synchro-skill that erases anyone from existence be it mortals or gods.

“How will I find her then since I do not know what she looks like?” Adrian asked honestly.

“This will aid you in locating her.” The goddess Nox said as she took one candle from her candelabrum and gave it to Adrian. She then further explained, “Keep this candle in your subspace. It will react when my former herald is in the vicinity. Do not force yourself just yet as your strength is not yet on par with her even if I struck her with divine punishment.

Divine Punishment was a word that is familiar to Adrian as he has seen what happened to Argent. She became a nameless entity and was classified as a monster. She might not have been trapped in a dungeon because the goddess was weakened but it might have been enough to transform her into a monster.

Adrian took the goddess’ words to heart as even she tells Adrian that he was not strong enough and only strike when he knows that he could succeed. He gladly took the candle and looked at its description before putting it in his inventory. His eyes widened when he looked at the stats for the candle.

Item: Candle of the Goddess of Night

Tier: Divine

Type: Quest Item

Durability: Infinite

Effect: All stats will rise by 50% during night or in areas where sunlight is absent. Holder will be immune to mind control or any mind attribute attacks or status conditions. The effect triggers even if it is inside the inventory.

Description: A candle stick from the candelabrum that is held by the Goddess of Night. It was imbued with her godly powers so that it could locate her former herald that betrayed her. The item is bound to the player Equinox.

Adrian was in disbelief because the effects of the item was beneficial to him even if it was only during a certain part of the day. The immunity to mind attribute attacks and status conditions was a great bonus since in the shaman job class there were status conditions that confuses or makes illusions. Adrian was happy but also wary because if the item boosted his stats during night or in dark areas then that would be the same for his opponent.

The item given to him was probably given to shorten the gap between them since the opponent was a former herald of a god. The former herald must have mind attribute abilities and he was given immunity to counter that but of course the former herald should still have its fighting prowess since ancient times. The one thing scarier to face with is an enemy that far outclasses you in terms of fighting experience.

Adrian shook the tension off since he would fight that monster in the far future when he would be strong enough and since there was no time limit that means he could take his time. Adrian would build up strength so that he could crush any enemies in his wake. Adrian was eagerly waiting for that day. There was still one question that popped into Adrian’s mind.

“How the heck am I going to drag that former herald into the Nether realm?” this was the question that popped into his mind because even he himself does not know how in the blazes he came here. Adrian was too shy to ask this question as he was given an extraordinary item just to complete a task. The goddess Nox sensing Adrian’s distraught talked to him and asked him if he wanted to clarify something.

“Is there something bothering you Champion Equinox?” the goddess Nox asked.

“You see. This has bothering me for a while now and I am too shy to ask this but since you already bothered to ask me my predicament, I would not beat around the bush. How can I even transfer the former herald in the Nether realm when even I only came here by chance?” Adrian said with a puppy dog face.

The god Abaddon and the goddess Nox looked at each other before chuckling a little. Adrian did not think that what he said was funny so he felt disturbed that this was their reaction. After a few seconds they already returned to their stoic faces and told Adrian the reason why they chuckled.

“We mean no offense Champion Equinox as we thought you already know what would happen when you return but it seems you are clueless. Therefore we ought to explain.” The goddess Nox said with a smile.

“Once you return from here, you would have already assimilated the energy in the Nether realm thereby using the Daemos race special link with origin magic, you can create a portal from the mortal plane to this realm since your spirit body has already started to fuse with the energy from the Nether realm. You will turn into an existence that has probably never existed before in Pandemonium.” The god of death Abaddon said as if there was excitement in his tone.

It seems that Adrian was sensing what was on the gods’ minds and thought to himself, “They are bored all right.” If the gods were to know what Adrian was thinking then he would have been smacked silly already.

“So how am I going to return then?” Adrian asked with curiosity because they have not told him that yet.

“Since you are in a state of Astral Projection, you only need to focus and reconnect with your physical body. All you have to do is focus on where your body is right now and a path will light itself up.” The goddess Nox said in a nonchalant tone.

“It was that simple!” Adrian shouted in surprise and the two gods just laughed because of the reaction that the young demon did.

“We must also warn you young champion. Even if we support you that does not mean other gods will. Even us gods have their factions and are only in a non-aggression pact. The only time we the gods of this universe ever helped each other was when the great invasion happened. I am telling you this so that you must only mind your own business and not get tangled by other gods. As our champion, your actions could possibly reflect our standing on the mortal realm though I do not know a god foolish enough to mess with my sister and me but your title carries a heavy duty. Remember that and always take of yourself because it has been decided that we are not to meddle in the affairs of mortals. The case of Argent was a special case.” Abaddon warned Adrian.
