Omega Summoner

Since the group could not get anymore answers from the couple, Adrian and his two friends headed towards the forbidden zone in the north. The Forbidden Zone that they are entering is called the Quaint Snowfields. It might have that name, but it is the most mysterious and dangerous zone in the northern region.

The normal monsters there range from level 280 to 300 at just the entrance. The center of this forbidden zone has yet to be explored by the players, so they do not know what is inside. The reason it is called Quaint Snowfield is due to the monsters looking harmless, but they are actually snow beasts with disguises.

“This is my first time entering a forbidden zone. Will we really be fine with just us?” Vayu asked.

“I do not know for sure, but the edge would be manageable as the monsters in a forbidden zone do not suddenly attack people. They only attack when provoked according to the findings on the forbidden zone in the central continent though.” Adrian replied.

Just like what Adrian said, the monsters in the edge of the Quaint Snowfields are not aggressive and just let them pass through. Soleil almost mistakenly touched a Quaint Snow Rabbit by mistake because it was so cute, but Adrian managed to stop her. Any form of touch can instant provoke that monster and it was level 300.

It had the appearance of a small one-foot-tall rabbit, but Adrian can see its true form using his evil eyes. It is actually a three-meter-tall giant snow monster rabbit, and it only has the appearance of a helpless rabbit. The small looking rabbit could literally wipe out their team if they make one small mistake.

“You should not try and touch them. They are very dangerous. They only look cute, but they are really great magic beasts.” Adrian stated.

“Sorry. They looked so cute and cuddly like Regulus.” Soleil stated as the group pushed on in looking or the tribe.

Unlike the ones from the west, the tribe that produced the Rider of the North has actual settlements in the area. They do move depending on the intensity of the temperature or unavailability of prey, but they tend to stay in one general location. Since they could not split up as this would be a death sentence, Adrian summoned Sirius, Charon and Saena to survey the area. 𝙡𝒊𝒃𝓻𝒆𝒂𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶

Sirius could just jump from shadow to shadow to search in order to avoid aggressive monsters or people. Charon could turn incorporeal to avoid detection as only spiritual entities could see him in that form. Saena has the ability to fly and would not be attacked due to her title of Little Saint that prevents unnecessary aggression.

“What do you think they look like? It would be so easier if the beautiful Ice Queen earlier told us what they look like.” Soleil stated.

“Let us just hope that they are friendly. It would not be good if they are an aggressive bunch.” Vayu stated but something immediately got fired towards them.

Adrian could not immediately see the projectile coming towards them which is why he immediately activated Time Stop. With a snap of his fingers, time froze, and the projectile fired at them could be seen frozen in place. Adrian looked at the direction of the projectile motion and deduced that the frozen arrow will not hit Vayu directly, but it will land an inch near his feet.

“Let us see the brave souls then.” Adrian stated as he flew towards the source of the ice arrow.

The ice arrow came from one of the tall icy trees in fifty meters away from them. The fact that the archer has that level of accuracy means that they are indeed skilled. Adrian flew near the tree and saw the archer in a hood while the bow she wielded looked like it was made of pure ice crystals.

Adrian snapped his fingers again and time flowed once more. The arrow landed on Vayu’s feet, but he still got to react by suddenly jumping back. The archer could be seen smiling but she suddenly saw that one of them was missing.

“Looking for me?” Adrian stated.

The archer suddenly screeched in surprise and fell down the tree. The snow on the ground cushioned her fall and Adrian did not even bother catching her as he does not know if she was really an enemy. The female archer suddenly recollected herself and pointed her arrow towards Adrian, but she did not emit bloodlust that could kill.

“I am not here to battle. Well, it depends on your next actions at least. I know that you only fired a warning shot but I want to know why you did that. The name is Equinox. May I know yours?” Adrian stated as he emitted his Asmodian aura that can make anyone unconsciously bow down. 𝘭𝘪𝘣𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝘤𝑜𝓂

“The name is Crystal, and you are trespassing on our territory.” Crystal stated.

“Territory? There is no settlement in a hundred-meter radius from this location. If you want to lie, then you better do a better job at it. My soulbounds have already scouted the area and they would have seen a settlement if there was one.” Adrian stated as Sirius, Charon and Saena are resummoned around him.

Seeing that Crystal is surrounded, she no longer pointed the arrow at Adrian. She knew that she would have been dead or severely wounded if the person in front of him really did attack her. She could feel that the person in front of her does not wish her harm but will retaliate if need be.

“I apologize for lying but this is the hunting grounds of my tribe. Only weak monsters roam around here since it is at the very edge of the Quaint Snowfields. Let me ask you next as I already apologized. Why are you here? We do not get visitors unless they are people that scout the area for a settlement.” Crystal stated.

“I am looking for a specific tribe that is tied to certain Rider of the North.” Adrian stated.
