Omega Summoner

Chapter 1248 Personal Growth

Adrian did not want to be the one to tell them that, but it had to be said. He actually thinks that they take it quite well as he always receives the ire of people when he becomes blunt. This characteristic actually made him be avoided by most people since a majority of people do not like people that tell the problem straight.

This trait might limit the people you really have a connection with but those that do will forge strong bonds with him. Even Adrian is not afraid of others telling him what he did wrong as long as it was not told for malicious reasons. If it was just an honest criticism, then he would take it and reflect if that really happened.

As of now, the three seems to be reflecting on what they are doing and knew that Adrian's words hold some truth. They might not want to hear it, but they knew that they lacked individually from the way they handled the horde. They decided that they need to strengthen their own power to make sure that this blunder does not happen again.

The three then signaled Adrian that they needed to talk with him. Adrian went down and saw the dedication that the three has in this game. He believed that they will definitely reach greater heights with this type of mindset.

"Can you give us direction on how to better ourselves?" The three stated simultaneously as they wanted to become stronger.

"I can but I can only help one of you. I can teach Basil some of the tips that I picked up but the two of you need to be taught by others. For Ark, I will let you choose! Will you pick a woman or a man to teach you? For Pana, you need to have better control of your traps and I can point you to someone who behaves like you do." Adrian stated.

"Can I get taught by the woman?" Ark asked as the male teacher might be very harsh on him, but Adrian smiled so genuinely that it was almost demonic.

"You just want to be around a beautiful woman. Just admit that." Pana and Basil stated as they teased Ark but only Adrian could feel that he drew the short straw.

"For Pana, I already called upon your mentor. For Ark, I will have to personally deliver you to her as she is quite busy but agreed to teach you if you chose her." Adrian stated as a rift in space suddenly appeared in their location.

The famous Temporal Wraith Du'an appeared with Creepysoo in the rift. Adrian picked Creepysoo as Pana's mentor because they both use status ailments or conditions to hinder their opponents. Creepysoo also has an undead knight called Robin Hoodie which was actually a Legendary Archer when he was alive.

"I am here, big brother! You said that I need to help the archer with his control, right? I was getting bored anyways and now I can finally become motivated to do something. They did say that sometimes one encounters inspiration as they teach." Creepysoo stated as he suddenly snapped his gfingers and a skeletal hand suddenly clutched Pana to carry him to the rift.

"Make sure to learn a lot!" Adrian stated as he bid farewell to Pana and Creepysoo.

"Now, Ark and I will go to his mentor. You can come with us if you want." Adrian stated as he also invited Basil.

"Sure! I want to see who his mentor is." Basil stated as she also followed them inside the portal that Adrian created.

When the three stepped inside the portal, they were sent to a medieval looking castle that has a chic but gothic look. Their eyes would wander, and they will feel something creeping in their skin. They felt like they are being watched despite being alone.

"Welcome, young master." A voice suddenly is heard near them which spooked Ark and Basil.

The two looked around and saw that there was no one around them. They even looked up but all they could see is the stained-glass roof that depicted a being made of darkness with a werewolf and a vampire. Ark and Basil then looked below and saw that their shadows are actually facing the wrong way.

The shadow of Ark and Basil  are facing towards the light source instead of away. This cannot be a glitch as this is still the mortal world and not a world where everything is in reverse. Ark and Basil suddenly came closer to Adrian as they are not a fan of scary stuff, and the location is a certified horror show.

"It is nice hearing your voice again, Nosfera." Adrian stated to the wind, but he was actually saying that to the shadow beneath their feet.

"I have already been informed of your arrival, young master. Her highness shall be with you in a minute. Bastian has already called for her when you arrived. Pardon me, it is quite rude for me to not show myself to guests." Nosfera stated as he suddenly came out of the shadow which returned of Ark and Basil to the correct orientation.

Nosfera will never try and go inside Adrian's shadow because he is afraid to anger Sirius. Even he is not confident against a being that dwells in the abyss despite being a child of Erebus. Even the werewolves actually revere Sirius for he is an Abyssal Fenrir.

Nosfera showed himself which made Ark and Basil have a good look at him. He was a tall and lanky butler has a bald head. He is also a bit of hunch which makes him look creepy, but his butler clothes made him look dependable. The most notable thing that Ark and Basil saw in Nosfera's face is his fangs.

"Is her a vampire?" Basil asked softly.

"Why yes, beautiful madam with the delicious smelling dragon blood. You have been transported to Castle Romania which is the prime residence of the soon to be Blood Queen Solstice." Nosfera stated.

"Vampires are actually real! I thought Solstice was a player that knows blood magic." Ark whispered.

"Yes, human with an interesting smelling blood. Your blood smells both good and bad. But not all vampires know how to use Blood Magic. Only a special family from all vampire lineages can use it with ease. Mistress Solstice is part of that family, but I advise you to never spread that word." Nosfera stated as his calm black pupils suddenly turned red and released a small bit of bloodlust.

"Do not mess with them Nosfera. You would scare the children." A female voice stated as the doors suddenly opened by themselves which revealed a rugged old butler and a beautiful woman with crimson hair on the other side.

"Nice to see you, Big Sister. Where is your guard dog?" Adrian greeted and his last question referred to Lycan always hovering over her.

"Hello, little brother. To think that the chick picked me as his mentor for a week. He definitely picked well from the fighting style that you described. About Lycan, he had to do something in the dutchy that his father is handling." Solstice stated.

"Wow! She is very pretty up close compared to just in video!" Basil stated as she is actually a big fan of Solstice for her fighting prowess and beauty.

"Sir Equinox, is she really your sister or you just call her that?" Ark asked as he was curious.

"She is my sister in real life. She may look pretty to you now, but I know that will change later. Have fun as we will also go now. See you after a week in hell!" Adrian stated as he teleported with Basil.

"Why did he say at the last part? Anyways, my name is Ark. It is a pleasure to meet you, Teacher Solstice." Ark stated with a bow, but he would later regret his decision of choosing a female teacher. Screams of anguish could be heard again in Castle Romania which made others steer clear of it.

Adrian and Basil appeared back in the Frozen Wastelands as this will be the perfect training ground for dragons. Adrian instructed Basil to summon both Pyro and Shock as they will need to have a growth spurt if they are to be useful to her. Adrian could see that Basil cuddled Pyro too much which is why it is not as ferocious as other dragons.

"Kanlaon, teach your juniors the ways of being a dragon. Make sure to ingrain the ferociousness of one when they are in battle. For you Basil, you know that dragons are powerful apex predators which means you must raise them like that.

I believe I am not wrong when to say that you are the reason why Pyro has yet to reach early adulthood. You are the Mother of Dragons now and mothers are not always caring because they also need to push their children to become the best. To do that, you must also become the best version of yourself. I hope that you are ready." Adrian stated.
