Chapter 1631 The Search for the Parts of the World Eater I
?
After news of Adrian’s new territory quest happened, a lot of players that were not initially in Avalon also flocked to the territory. They wanted to get the rewards as well since Adrian did not restrict the number of players that could do it. Some actually just wanted free Return Scrolls but Adrian already knew that as the free ones that were given are bound items.
Some players that learned that there were free return scrolls that were being given quickly learned that they cannot resell it. To make it even more depressing for those that just wanted the free return scrolls, the free return scrolls will disappear in their inventory after seven days as Adrian also made sure that they have time limits on the usage.
Adrian returned to the observation room to see if there were any changes or things that have been reported to the Daemos. Even if it was only a few hours after his first announcement, the energetic players could have found traces early on and reported it to a nearby Daemos guard. Enthusiastic and lucky as it may seem, no one has reported such findings.
“Are there any strange phenomena that has been observed by the Demon Eyes?” Adrian asked.
“As of now, there is nothing that will stick out but there have been reports of strange sightings of a voracious monster in the western side of the central continent. Sometimes when a monster is parasitized by the World Eater, they would have increased appetite due to the World Eater Parasite needing lots of energy.” Ascalor stated but even he is not sure.
“Have there been people that went there?” Adrian asked.
“Only two were sent but the area where the activity occurred is incredibly large and also populated. It would be difficult to have any of our people to scour the area. Releasing a large wave of mana to scan the area could also make the monsters riot which could endanger those that already live there.” Ascalor stated.
It is not that they cannot effectively search but it would be dangerous for the people that are living in the area if they did. The Daemos may be called Demons, but they care about the balance of all things as they were the ones that were tasked to care of the world. They also shoulder the responsibility of the stability of the realm which is why they must be careful to not die.
“I shall join the search efforts there just in case. It might be a small lead, but it is a lead, nonetheless. I have other things to do that needs my full efforts.” Adrian stated as he teleported to the general location that was pointed by Ascalor.

Adrian appeared in the western part of the central continent where there is actually a huge discrimination against other races that were not part of the original ones. Actually, the situation here is also tense as there are neighboring kingdoms that have a human supremacy belief. Of course, that belief needed to be swallowed down their throats as they needed the technological advancements of Gnomes, the craftsmanship of the Dwarves and the life magic of the elves.
In the end, all the common folk are slowly getting rid of the human supremacy idealism because they can see that they themselves lack on specific areas. Still, a large number of human nobles still cling on the human supremacy, but these are the ones that are large believers of the Church of Light. The angels that are serving the Goddess of Light keep spreading fake and nasty stories about other races so that they would not band together.
The angels are doing these types of tactics because they might not admit it, but they are afraid that they would be viewed as worthless by the common folk. The common folk could barely afford the steep prices for the healing arts of the Church of Light which made them rely more on the natural potions that elves make. The only ones that cling to the Church of Light are actually nobles that can easily get the pricey but great service of the Church of Light.
“Luckily, this area is more mountain side with forest. I can easily search this area.” Adrian thought as he did not need human interaction, but he will consider it if he does not find anything in a day.
“Greater Summon: Dodu!” Adrian stated as he summoned the large Dodu.
Dodu’s large body is like a mixture between a jellyfish and a snail as it looked otherworldly. Most of all, Dodu looked majestic if they look at the overall physique as it glows in rainbow tint. Adrian was given a hug as soon as Dodu was summoned as it seems to have become more affectionate after evolution.
“I missed you too, but we are a bit of a hurry. Can you do what I have instructed you to do?” Adrian asked.
“No problems, master.” Dodu stated.
Dodu’s large body that is a mixture of a jellyfish and a snail suddenly split into multiple smaller beings. These smaller beings looked like small Baby Slimes that have Dodu’s unique rainbow tint. Each of the smaller Dodus rolled away as they wanted to complete the instruction that Adrian has given them.
Adrian looked excited and happy to see smaller Dodus marching away as it looked cute from his perspective. If another person sees this, then they would be running for the hills as this looked like they were being invaded by a thousand small monsters that can melt anything. Adrian also summoned Charon and Sirius as they would also need to look.
“Make sure to scour the entire area. Dodu would also look for any clue inside the city. We cannot say that the World Eater Parasite host has not died and is inside the city.” Adrian commanded as he also started looking in an area where there are humans since he transformed into his human look.

Adrian arrived at a village but all he saw were normal villagers living their normal lives. He made sure to sweep with his mana every now and then, but it was extremely faint. Only a being that is incredibly sensitive to mana can feel the mana waves that he is releasing. Adrian’s control of mana would actually put even a being like a Master Magus to shame. 𝘭𝑖𝘣𝑟𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Pandemonium actually has a hidden mechanic when it comes to mana which is the fine control of it. A lot of players just make do with the spell description and mana cost but there are actually individuals that can do crazy things with spells. Adrian for example can shape his spells in any form which is the highest form of mana control that one can have.
Granted that Adrian is a scribe that deals with the nature of things such as spell runes and sigils, he has mastered the way to utilize his spells without even the need to use large mana costs. This is why some mage players that watch Adrian’s videos that are on the internet are amazed at his control of spells. They know that his control of spells does not stem from him being a demon but him being an experienced and knowledgeable spell caster.
Adrian released a total of ten mana waves that covered the whole village yet nothing out of this world was detected. He did detect several NPCs that have quite the affinity for magic, but he is not the one that needs to pick them up. He is a demon in disguise searching for a world ending monster and not an old mage hermit that wants to get a disciple.
“Master! I have found something strange that matches the description of the thing that we are looking for.” Dodu stated via their soul link.
“Great job! Kill it now so that our troubles are gone. If it is just a normal monster, then so be it.” Adrian commanded but Dodu felt a bit odd in accepting the command.
“Is there something that is bothering you?” Adrian asked as he felt Dodu’s nervousness.
“There are other living beings.” Dodu stated.
Adrian then commanded Sirius to go to Dodu’s location so that he can share his sight with his master. Adrian tried sharing Dodu’s sight before and it actually almost made him puke because a slime did not have the same perception as mammals. When Adrian shared his sight with Dodu, the world became a kaleidoscope of colors and he actually felt that the whole world was spinning.
“Master, I have reached the location. Sharing my vision now.” Sirius stated as Adrian’s eyes suddenly turned completely white.
Adrian could now see the humans that Dodu was telling him about. To be clear, it seems that they were new players that are attempting to save one of their party members that seemed to have been trapped by a large venus fly trap looking monster that has the body of a toad.𝙡𝓲𝙗𝙧𝓮𝒂𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎
