Rebirth: Over the Horizon

Chapter 50 - The Fog Fight: Asur Summoner(10)

Both of them started to head toward's the upstream.

"I'm looking forward"

"Hey, It's not like there would be absolutely something there so mind that okay?"

"Baby~, I got it"

Because they were advancing to the upper stream, the rocks started to gradually increase, and it changes to an area that is hard to walk on.

But, with the help of golems, they walked through it easily.

Advancing just like that for an hour.

Because their base was placed near the upper streams, the two were able to reach there faster than expected.

The thing that was there was a clear spring that has a diameter of three meters.

That which had a beautiful circular shape, gave the two mystical, as their first impression.

The thick fog also was an element that gave off a mystical atmosphere.

"It seems very deep," Ariana said while taking a peek inside the lake.

The size of the spring wasn't that much, but it looks like it was decently deep.

"You want to try and dive?"

"I think that it's worth trying, there is a chance of something down there"

Adam removed his robe and shirt, just when he was going to dive, he heard a low and sweet voice from behind

"Be careful!" Ariana said blushingly.

"Hum, I'm going!"

Adam entered the spring, and dove at once.

He advanced deeper and deeper into the waters where light didn't reach.

And after ten minutes of swimming. Adam found a tattered treasure box that sank on the bottom of the spring.

While being cautious of traps, Adam carefully placed the treasure box in the inventory and started to swim back towards the surface.

"How was it?"

"Ha!, Where you worrying about me"

"Hmp~, Yes."

After settling down, Adam opened the treasure chest, with a 'Cilck' sound the box disappeared and what remained was a silver-colored staff. There were red and blue jewels engraved on its tip.

There were also 5 silver medals on it.

[Summoner's staff]

After equipping the staff, Ariana's mana and HP raised exponentially.

Even though they observed the surroundings very carefully, there weren't any dungeon or magic circles.

"Well, it is good"

"Then, shall we continue to walk"

"Hum"

And just like that, two and a half hours of going downstream.

They had a few battles along the way, and Ju-Ju's level also increased by a few, he also obtained a new skill.

The skill name was 'Awakening'

Awakening will temporarily boost Ju-Ju's stats by 30% after 8 min, that is the finishing of skill, Ju-Ju will go into a deep slumber for 3 Hours.

After walking for more than an hour, they finally reached the downstream.

"This is the source of the fog"

"Yes"

The dense fog became thicker, and Ariana already had a hard time seeing Adam who was beside her. He wrapped his hands around her, in the dense fog her face slightly blushed.

The two approached the river.

And then.

*WHOOSH*, the fog was blown away by the wind, and the scene in front of them was exposed.

There was a spring there just like in the upper streams, and something like a cube in the center.

The white fog comes out from the cube without rest. It looks like the cube absorbs water from the spring and creates fog.

"Do you want to check it?'

"That is the only way"

The instant, when they entered the spring.

The wind stopped as if it was aiming for them, and the dense fog instantly covered the surroundings.

"Adam! Are you there?!"

There was not one reply from Adam, she panicked.

Suddenly, a pair of hands came out of nowhere and covered her mouth.

"Uwaa-"

"Shh.., Calm down Ariana, It's me, Adam"

"There is someone here, besides two of us" Adam silently whispered to her.

She increased her cautiousness.

"Uwa?! Ku!! Ahh!!" both of them heard a voice followed by "Gakuin", "Gakuin", the sound of metal hitting each other could also be heard.

As they were hearing it, something like a portal appeared before them and sucked both of them inside.

When Adam opened his eyes he spotted a knight wearing platinum full armor holding a shining white sword.

Opposite to him was Ariana and Ju-Ju both of them were seriously injured.

[Ariana: 1234/8400]

"Ariana" He couldn't help herself shouting to the surprise. He felt a rage inside him, 'It's like the time when I first faced the real monster'

Adam quickly rushes towards her and casts his newly acquired spell "Healing spirit" A golden enveloped their surrounding's and her HP quickly started to restore.

"Stay behind me! I'll stop it whatever happens!"

Adam drew his spear and stood before Ariana to block whatever comes towards them.

A purple magic circle appeared from its blade, the knight casually held its sword.

"Golem's attack him"

As he said three golems ferociously charged at him, the knight swung its sword downwards. Which sunk into one of the ice golems, and cuts it into halves.

However, it was the only one that is cut off.

The remaining two directly hit the knight with their fists.

The knight groans, and fell to its knees. Even so, it tries to stand up with the support of its sword.

However, that did not happen.

From its tattered armor, a white light started to overflow.

It looks like the knight gave up on standing up, it let go of its sword.

And with that, it became a flow of light that doesn't lose out with the platinum armor and raised up.

'It is Super weak compared to the monster bird!'

In fact, its ability to destroy the golem was very strong, but it didn't have the HP and defense following that.

On that point, it can be said that the monster bird was abnormal.

"The battle ended simply, It's defense and HP is actually very low"

"Ju-Ju is still recovering, I will go and take look at medals" as Ariana said she jogged and picked up the medals, it only dropped 2 silver medals.

Ariana collected the medal and called back Ju-Ju, the spell effect also finished and they started to search for the magic circle.

Adam was standing before the stairs, he can't see the other end from where he was standing, "It seems that there is no teleportation circle this time" he muttered.

"Adam, I couldn't find any magic cirlce"

"Yeah, I think we have to climb these stairs to go out"

"Then, what are you waiting for? Let's climb"

"Sigh.."

He sighed as the started to climb the stairs.

What greeted them was a thick forest.
