Omega Summoner

Chapter 154 - Spiral Peak

A laugh was heard in an open area in the Paradox Planes. The people who saw the person laughing like a maniac did not react as if they were already used of this kinds of event. The person laughing like a madman was non-other than Adrian.

Adrian was laughing maniacally because he finally succeeded in making a talisman with the advance rune. He used the Defend, One, and Fortify skill to finally make a talisman. The talisman was even epic rated. The only problem is that he burned fifty enchanted paper just to make that one. He did get desirable rewards from it though.

[You have unlocked the Persistence Stat. Current Persistence = 1]

[You managed to create an Epic Rated talisman. Intelligence increased by 5.]

"Hahahahahaha. I finally succeeded. I am the victor!" Adrian shouted while those who saw him just avoided their gaze.

Item: One Chance Talisman

Tier: Epic

Type: Consumable

Effect: Consuming the talisman will cover the user with mysterious energy that will help block an attack that will be deadly. The effect will only trigger when the user will receive a fatal attack. Cannot be overlapped with other talismans with the same type.

Duration: 1 day

Cooldown: 1 minute

Description: An epic talisman made by an amateur scribe that has yet to make a name for himself. He might have lucked out with this one.

Adrian did increase his Scribe mastery but it did not bring him all the way to Intermediate Scribe Mastery. He tried making talismans with basic runes but it was only increasing by a miniscule amount compared to when he made the offensive talismans.

"It seems I would need to grind to advance to an Intermediate Scribe. I cannot do it today because the raid will be tomorrow morning at 8:00. I need to be early for that. Fortunately, there is a fracture that leads directly to Spiral Peak." Adrian thought.

Adrian sealed back his soulbounds and logged out of the game. He needed to be early in logging back in. Thankfully, his family has breakfast at 6:50 in the morning. He could still make it in time or even earlier as long as he is not a sloth when it comes to food.

=====

The next day…

Adrian logged back in the game at 7:30 in the morning. He wanted to be early because he might have missed something important before the raid. He was taught to be ready for any type of situation as being unprepared would endanger anyone.

He checked all his potions if there was anything missing. Since he could monopolize Jianna's potions, he bought one for each status effect. An elixir that could cleanse any status condition was still not available in the game as it was treated as legendary potions. It is said only the royal alchemist of the empire could brew them.

"Ok. I am all set. I will head off now." Adrian said.

He already cast Glamour on himself. He opted to use Spirit Form Manifestation on Kanlaon while Sirius and Saena are as is. He stepped foot on the spatial fracture leading to Spiral Peak. Adrian also read information regarding Spiral Peak since he logged out early.

Spiral Peak is a large dungeon with fifteen floors but it is said to be currently guarded by Evergreen. Unlike other guilds who just force others to pay, the Evergreen guild has the dungeon token for this one. A dungeon token is a drop for dungeons that are extremely hard to get and it was revealed that the drop rate is 0.001%.

Also the dungeon must enter its extreme cycle. The extreme cycle is when a dungeon becomes three times more difficult and is said to only happen once every three months in game. Spiral Peak is a mountainous dungeon that are filled with monsters that can survived in rocky territory. The boss monster is said to be a Stone Golem.

There is also a raid boss that spawns here which is rumored to be a Rock Drake that only the Evergreen guild has access to because only they know its location. Adrian stepped inside the spatial fracture that led towards the Spiral Peak.

Adrian arrived at the foot of the dungeon. Spiral Peak is a special dungeon that is both a dungeon and an open field. Monsters from the sky can also attack those who trek towards the peak. The peak is where the dungeon boss spawns which is a Stone Golem.

Adrian arrived on the spot and walked towards the path to where the entrance is located. Since the Evergreen has the dungeon token, players not affiliated with them must pay a fine of five gold. Adrian arrived to the entrance in which a group of players has already formed.

Adrian knew they are from the Evergreen guild due to the guild emblem present on their armor. Adrian finally saw Cersei and immediately greeted her. He was a bit shy as Cersei was the only one he personally knew.

"Hello." Adrian greeted shyly.

"Oh! You are here early. That is great. We just need to wait for one more then. It seems our vice guild leader is joining and she is a bit late." Cersei mentioned to Adrian.

The other guild members then tried to size up Adrian as it was someone known by a guild adviser. They looked at him and thought that he was normal because his equipment did not even look like high tier items. The only thing that is peculiar about him is the large wolf and large bird that is accompanying him.

"It seems that he is a summoner." Someone whispered.

"Yeah. I cannot seem to see his status. Is he concealing it? How rude." Someone whispered.

Adrian did not particularly mind their chattering because in his country there are many people like that. People who like gossiping because they encounter nothing fun in their lives. A beautiful elven man then approached Adrian and talked to Cersei.

"Is this the one you said that will take one of the spots guild adviser?" the elven man asked Cersei.

"Yes. He is a close friend of mine. Please treat him with courtesy." Cersei stated bluntly for everybody to hear.

The elven man seemed a bit shook for a moment but regained his stance.

"My name is Alder. May I inquire yours? As we are going to be comrades for this adventure." Alder stated.

"Equinox and as you can see I am a summoner. Sorry for being shy as I am not much of an extrovert." Adrian replied.

"I see then I hope we can help each other for this raid." Alder stated and bowed before leaving. He then went and mingled with the other guild members.

Adrian did not bother if he was disrespectful or not. He just asked Cersei about the details of the raid.

"So what is the line-up for this raid?" Adrian asked.

"As you can see, thirty people will be part of this raid. Ten are tankers and nine are healers. One summoner and that is Mariposa. The twenty of them are above level 100 while the ten of us are the main artillery that will deal damage to the raid boss so we can get the top contributions." Cersei stated.

Adrian only nodded and checked up his soulbounds conditions. Cersei then asked him about Saena as she did not see this form before.

"Is this that cute bird from before?" Cersei asked.

"Yup. It evolved so it now looks different. She is a healer type soulbound if you are wondering." Adrian replied.

Cersei was about to ask another thing but she saw a familiar beautiful woman walking towards them.

"Vice Guild Leader." Cersei said and did a slight bow.

"No need to pleasantries. Let us head in as we are all here anyway. Equinox nice to meet you again." Mariposa said.

"Nice to see you too." Adrian replied with a slight bow.

The group of thirty then proceeded to venture inside the dungeon. They entered normally but instead of ascending the peak they stood in front of a rock formation. Mariposa then held something like a rock and raised it with her right hand.

The surroundings suddenly shook but it was only a little bit as no one was outbalanced. The rock formation then parted to reveal a stairway leading downwards. Adrian was surprised as he thought they need to ascend to the peak first and clear the Stone Golem but they would descend instead.

"Okay. Tanks go in first and then the ten who need to level up next. Last would be the healers." Mariposa commanded and her dignity as a leader shine as she no longer had that gentle demeanor.

Adrian fell in line and descended the passage. The passage was like a hidden cave with huge stalactites growing on them.

"Be careful with aerial spells as they might hit the stalactites. If you hit one and it falls on you or a teammate then you will be reprimanded." Cersei stated as they calmly walked down the descending steps.

Mariposa then entered and held up the rock once more and the rock formation closed back up as if it never parted in the first place.
