Omega Summoner

Chapter 372 - Aerial Battles I

"Greater Summon: Kanlaon" Adrian chanted and a magic circle with a dragon insignia appeared mid-air.

Kanlaon appeared out of the magic circle in a flash of snow and fire. The magic circle became his gateway to manifest in the material world.

"I got to admit but do not tell your brother this. He is good in this game. I do not even know a player who has a dragon either as a mount or soulbound other than him. I am fairly sure that he is being hounded by the top guilds by now due to him being unique. We are already unique, but he is on another level." Lycan whispered to Solstice who just nodded in agreement.

"How can we rid him? He is only about five meters long and not that big." Solstice stated as she saw that Kanlaon is not that big as she thought the dragon would be.

"That is not Kanlaon's real size. He often uses that height because being bigger means that he is an easy target. Can you please get back to your real size Kanlaon?" Adrian stated.

Kanlaon nodded in agreement as the dragon suddenly coiled mid-air. Kanlaon performed something like a dance as his size became bigger and bigger until he was not 20 meters long. The great figure of the Frostfire Dragon beheld the castle of the Duke of Arkadia.

The guards that were there during that time could only open their mouths ajar due to seeing a dragon that is twenty meters long. Solstice was clearly amazed as she was speechless upon seeing Kanlaon's majestic form. If one looked closely then they would see Kanlaon smiling smugly.

The appearance of a large dragon caused a commotion due to a maid passing by. She suddenly ran and called the guards as she was freaking out. Even Duke Lycaon came out of his study to see what the commotion was really about only to behold the figure of a dragon.

The maid's reaction is understandable because dragons were not recorded to be all benevolent, especially the western dragons. Western dragons are reported to come to any place they fancy and is said to be treated with utmost respect. If not, then the western dragon will unleash his wrath upon the that place for being rude to him or her.

"Let us go. What are you waiting for and hop on?!" Adrian stated as he already jumped to ride on Kanlaon's neck.  Solstice and Lycan looked at each other and just helplessly sighed. 

"Ladies first!" Lycan gestured and Solstice jumped on aboard then he followed her.

"Sorry about the commotion!" Adrian told the duke before they finally flew to the sky. Those at the castle could only see a black dot in the sky after a few seconds.

"Wow! We are really flying right now! This is what the dragonkins and the gnomes that have a magitech plane must feel like. Flying in mid-air really has that magical feeling but why do we not feel air pressure?" Lycan asked while he is still jovial from the feeling of flying.

"Kanlaon is using his mastery of the elements of fire and ice to produce some sort of invisible shield that blocks the air pressure. If you jump about three meters away, then that protection will be no more as you will be blown away with the speed we are flying." Adrian explained.

As Adrian is explaining how they do not feel the air pressure, Kanlaon suddenly informed Adrian that some monsters are coming. 

"Can we not out speed them?" Adrian asked as only a few winged monsters could catch up to Kanlaon's speed.

"No master. It seems that they are faster than me because they are reaching us much faster than I could fly away." Kanlaon replied.

"Everyone! Please get ready because we have guests. Paradox, Summon the Primordial Armament: Bow!" Adrian stated and the other two looked around them while Kanlaon stopped in place.

"What are we fighting!?" Solstice asked as she is not that helpful when the sun is up. Some of her strength is sealed due to the sunlight.

"Just support your boytoy so that you guys do not get thrown away from where you are standing. We do not need to win if the enemy is stronger than us. We just need to weaken it down enough for us to escape. Loot will not stay floating in the sky even if we shoot it down." Adrian stated as he pulled his bow that now looks different due to the gold outlines.

Adrian noticed that there is not only one enemy but a flock of them as five birds flying in a V-formation could be seen getting close to them. The flying monsters were so fast that Adrian could not identify them using his evil eye. 

"Shooting Star!" Adrian casted his first skill.

The attack looked like it was before the bow became a Primordial Armament but there was a gold sheen in the meteor like attack that was not present before. The Shooting Star travelled towards the flock of birds and ruined their formation du to one of them getting hit. The bird that was hit plummeted down.

The four remaining birds became furious and flew faster than ever. Kanlaon who saw this released a hailstorm from the Orb of True Ice. The birds that were speeding up suddenly slowed down due to the sudden change in temperature. Adrian finally had a good look on their aggressors.

"Griffins." Adrian stated which made the two become more battle ready.

Solstice then checked the map and saw that they were just on top of the mountain that the Griffons like to perch on as the map was marked with a Griffin emblem. She then cut her palm so that blood could come out. She then used the blood to shape herself a sword.

Lycan brought out his weapons as well and it was a knuckle with spikes. Adrian who saw this could only rely on them for protection if some griffin manages to get close to them.

"Kanlaon fly away slowly while I create a distraction. We are at their territory so leaving it should calm them down." Adrian commanded and Kanlaon followed.
