Omega Summoner

Chapter 1676 Tainted Storm Core

Adrian tried two more times, but he ended up dead yet again. He tried having Saena take the increased wind elemental resistance the last time. He planned to have Saena cleanse the stun and she was able to do so.

Adrian was able to dodge the first lighting blast because he was cleansed of the stun. He was then able to dodge the next one due to Kanlaon and Wisteria’s combination of handling the earth element. This presented them with a great situation as the Hell Storm Homunculus will enter something like a brief power saving mode after two powerful lightning blasts.

The Hell Storm Homunculus was unable to fire off spells for the next minute which is why its underlings were the ones that attacked Adrian. He was able to take down some of the mobs and also damage the Hell Storm Homunculus in the process. He was able to bring the Hell Storm Homunculus’ health down to 75%.

[The Hell Storm Homunculus has entered Rage Mode.]

[The Hell Storm Homunculus will revive a quarter of the underlings that you have killed.]

[The Hell Storm Homunculus has healed all of its troops back to full health.]

When the Hell Storm Homunculus dropped down to 75% health, its mode of attacks became different compared to before. When it was above that health threshold, it would fire off powerful blasts of lightning. When the Hell Storm Homunculus dropped to 75% health, it changed to rapid fire lightning spells that needed to be dodged.

Adrian could not handle that attack pattern with just three soulbounds which is why he applied Limit Break: Summoner and summoned all of his soulbounds. With the aid of all his soulbounds, Adrian was able to drop the Hell Storm Homunculus’ health to 50%. He also managed to decimate half of the mobs around the mid boss.

This did come at a cost as his soulbounds could also be seen extremely hurt. Saena had to use every healing skill in her arsenal to keep the team alive, but this also meant that she lost a great deal of stamina. She was the first one to die as a result when the Hell Storm Homunculus entered Berserk Mode.

[You have dropped the Hell Storm Homunculus to 50% health.]

[The Hell Storm Homunculus shall now enter Berserk Mode.]

The Hell Storm Homunculus changed in color to red lightning as it was bluish before. Adrian suddenly remembered this as he encountered a situation like this earlier. The Hell Storm Homunculus released a powerful burst of red lightning that affected the entire cavern like a shockwave that exploded.

[You have been stunned for five seconds.]

[Your soulbound, Sirius, has been stunned for five seconds.]

[Your soulbound, Kanlaon, has been stunned for three seconds.]

[Your soulbound, Saena, has been stunned for four seconds.]

[Your soulbound, Charon, has been stunned for one second.]

[Your soulbound, Dodu, has been stunned for five seconds.]

[Your soulbound, Kimat, has been stunned for one second.]

[Your soulbound, Wisteria, has been stunned for five seconds.]

[Your soulbound, Kenos, has been stunned for five seconds.]

All of them were suddenly stunned by the powerful blast of lightning. Adrian thought that he would be blasted with lightning again like the first time he entered this floor, but it was different. The remaining mobs started to fuse together to create gigantic golems.

There is one gigantic golem for each Hell Storm Moving Ancient Golem that is alive. This was not the end though as the Hell Storm Homunculus suddenly exploded with powerful energy once more and created a link with each gigantic golem. The Hell Storm Homunculus generated lightning swords and shields for each of the gigantic golems.

Adrian was able to battle against the gigantic golems but ultimately died due to the Hell Storm Homunculus. The Hell Storm Homunculus acted like a supporting mage from behind the giant golems as it fired bolts of red lightning at them. Saena was the first to die due to being weakened in Hell and the others soon followed as the healer was the first to fall.

Adrian would have been incredibly upset if not for the loot that he gathered. Since he was able to enter the dungeon three times, he was able to get all of the pieces he needed for a complete Storm Core. He was happy despite dying as he read the notification when he got all a hundred and fifty pieces.

[You have gathered 150 pieces of the Storm Core.]

[You need a powerful blast of lightning in order to fuse all 150 pieces together.]

Adrian read the instructions and commanded Kimat to blast it will all he has. Kimat, with Kanlaon’s boost, rained lightning on the pieces of the Storm Core. Kimat blasted it with lightning for ten minutes straight, but it was not fusing together.

The pieces were fusing together but it was only momentarily as their bond would break when the blast of lightning ends. Adrian deduced that Kimat does not have enough juice to blast it with one powerful attack. Adrian thought that he would actually need to go to one of the forbidden zones in the main world but then he shuddered.

Adrian looked at the entrance of the Hell Storm Paradise dungeon and realized something. The Hell Storm Homunculus can deal a powerful blast of lightning that damaged even a being with high wind resistance. He needed to try it out, but he can only do the dungeon the next day.

“There are still four days left before the attack on the Hell Gate. I have time.” Adrian thought as he waited for the next day.

The next day arrived, and Adrian immediately entered the Hell Storm Paradise dungeon. He defeated the Hell Storm Moving Ancient Golem easily as he has gotten the hang of it. Adrian stood on top of the magic circle with the sack containing the hundred and fifty pieces of the Storm Core.

[Do you wish to proceed to the next floor?]

“Yes!” Adrian answered but this time he was only alone.

Adrian did not summon any of his soulbounds just yet as he knew that they might die if he is stunned. If he does not get stunned, then he would just summon them. Adrian’s plans rests on the fact that the hundred and fifty pieces of the Storm Core would defend him against the two initial bursts of lightning.

[You have reached the middle section of the Hell Storm Paradise dungeon.]

[Danger!]

[You are stunned for five seconds.]

[You have not resisted the stun.]

Adrian received the notifications that he was stunned and faced the familiar bright welcome due to the powerful blast of lightning. He has the sack of a hundred and fifty pieces of Storm Core in his hand and saw a reaction that would warrant a smile if he was not stunned. The sack of a hundred and fifty pieces of the Storm Core suddenly split apart as the small pieces tore it.

The hundred and fifty pieces of Storm Core flew around Adrian and absorbed the lightning blast from the Hell Storm Homunculus. The initial blast was able to fuse the hundred and fifty pieces into ten large chunks. When the ten large chunks suddenly started to show signs of breakage, another powerful blast of lightning came from the Hell Storm Homunculus.

With the second blast of lightning, Adrian could see the ten large chunks become attracted to one another. Each of the ten large chunks fused one by one in slow motion as Adrian marveled at the sight. When the ten large chunks finally fused together, a powerful shockwave was emitted that snuffed out the lightning coursing through the Hell Storm Homunculus and its underlings for a few seconds.

Adrian’s eyes could be seen glittering as he now has the Storm Core even if it was tainted. Purification should be easy as all he needs to do was ask a priest to do it. The dark blue core that is giving off sparks could be seen floating near Adrian as it returned inside of his inventory.

[The Tainted Storm Core will protect you from lightning attacks when its cooldown has been completed.]
