Omega Summoner

Adrian went to Pann’s farm and is shocked. The usually grumpy old man that is ever present in the farm is nowhere to be found. The last time that Adrian intruded was not pleasant because he was chased by Capricorns. Needless to say, those monster goats’ look does not match their actual speed.

“Where is the old man? He almost never leaves. Did he finally become crazy and started to capture rare beasts from other realms to raise them in his farm?” Adrian muttered as he stood there spacing out. He did not even felt that someone is already behind him.

“Did you really think that the old man finally became crazy?” A voice from behind Adrian asked. 𝙡𝙞𝓫𝙧𝒆𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝙤𝙢

“I mean it is feasible. It is always those cranky people that usually have issues.” Adrian replied but he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Adrian slowly turned his head back in order to be sure that it was not the person that he thinks is behind him. He prayed a thousand times in his mind that it would be a different person but his logical mind betrays him. He turned around and smiled widely to the person behind him.

“Good day, Old Man Pann.” Adrian smiled like his face became plastered in a smiling position.

Pann did not respond to Adrian’s greeting instead he glared at the boy for about thirty seconds. Sweat began to drip from Adrian’s face as he became nervous. This is one of the times that he cursed the advance features of Pandemonium because one could tell that he is sweating due to being nervous.

“So what brings you here brat? I am pretty sure you are not here because you miss me.” Pann stated in his signature annoyed tone.

“Oh! Come on! Why would I not miss you?! You are like my favorite person here.” Adrian stated in an attempt to flatter Pann.

“So what do you need brat? I know you came here looking for me because you want to know something. Stop the flattery because I hate things like that.” Pann replied. But when Adrian was not looking, Pann’s cheek were red for a split second.

“So the place in the east that we went to. Do you happen to know where that is exactly?” Adrian asked.

“If you are indicating the place where we evolved your dragon then I do know. Why? Do you want to return there?” Pann asked while his capricorns started circling around Pann vying for his attention.

“I need to go there because I managed to see a peculiar flower growing in that vast snowy land. If my hunch is correct then I need that flower. It is for a request that someone gave in exchange for troubling them.” Adrian replied.

“You better give up on that idea then brat. They tightened up the security for the east continent ever since we have been there. They even restricted access from merchant ships so it would be difficult for you to enter the legal way.” Pann stated while the capricorns lined up to get a pat on the head.

“I can just teleport to that location as long as you point me in the right direction like last time.” Adrian rebutted.

“You can but they would block off your escape. You can teleport to that location but you will not be able to get out using the method you got in. Since they have no masters of the concepts of time and space, they opted for a roundabout but effective method.” Pann replied.

“I can just tear a teleportation scroll that the old man Ascalor gave me to escape.” Adrian stated.

“So that brat gives that to you for free now. I cannot believe that stingy brat hands out those important things like candy.” Pann replied.

“Oh! It is not for free. He gives them to me in exchange of running errands like gives this letter to this, hand this over to her. In the end, it is a fair deal and a win-win situation for the both of us.” Adrian replied because he does not want to be misjudge.

“Then you can go there safely. Just do not let yourself be captured and explain yourself to the mystic beast that guards the snow section of the Infernofrost Ridge. It is at the south part of the eastern continent. We have a map of Nebulon so just ask Ascalor about it so that he can lend it to you.” Pann stated as he signaled Adrian to go away.

Adrian then bowed in order to say his farewell to Pann. The old man did not even bother to reply but just raised his right hand. Adrian easily got a copy of the map since they have tons of it hidden in storage.

Adrian summoned all his soulbounds before attempting to teleport because he wanted to be prepared. He did not want to get caught easily if they manage to track him just by entering the east continent. The group vanished in a faint flash of light.

Adrian and his soulbounds are back to the place where Kanlaon evolve. A place where intense heat and bone chilling wind meet. That place is the Infernofrost Ridge which is a famed place in the east that grows really potent herbs for making medicine.

Adrian can now stay warm due to the heat that Kanlaon is emitting. It is also keeping Saena warm so that she can be ready for battle. The group traversed the snowy section of the Infernofrost Ridge but they were met by the guardian which is the Cryophoenix.

“Speak, little demon. Why have you come to my domain?” The cryophoenix told Adrian via telepathy.

“I come seeking a special plant called the Everfrost flower. Is it available in your domain? I would be honored to have just one stem of it. I really need it in order to save the life of someone.” Adrian replied.

“I do have what you seek…” The cryophoenix replied.

“Then can I have just one stem? It would be really helpful.” Adrian replied while he smiled.

“Unfortunately, there is only one flower that is available right now and it is too precious to give away for free.” The cryophoenix stated.

“Fine. What do you want? Get straight to the point because those groggy elders of the east might detect that I am here.” Adrian replied a little bit annoyed.

“We want you find the piece that separated the both of us.” A voice carrying intense heat stated in Adrian’s mind. Adrian could guess that this was the phoenix that resided on the other side of the Infernofrost Ridge.

“You mean both of you were one and the same. Even I think that is very farfetched. You two are like polar opposites.” Adrian replied.

“We were separated by a great monk that used a powerful artifact that separated us into two. That monk even used a phony bird to masquerade as our former selves.” The cryophoenix stated.

“If that was the case then why did you two not voice your displeasure? I am sure that they will believe you if you say something.” Adrian stated.

“If it was that easy then we would have done so. That bastard monk placed a curse on us so that ordinary people and people of the east cannot hear our plight. We can only communicate to you because of your connection to a divine being.” The phoenix stated while looking at Kanlaon.

“I see so you can only communicate to me because I am a summoner that has a dragon.” Adrian replied.

“Dragons are not that simple because they have a trace of divinity because a goddess birthed them herself. Although your dragon is not that powerful enough yet which is why he cannot tap his divine potential.” The cryophoenix stated.

“You are not an ordinary summoner either. You have a wolf that carries a dangerous force inside of him. A bird that can become a divine entity and whatever that thing is that is giving me the creeps.” The phoenix stated.

“Fine. Enough with the flattery. What is it do you want in exchange for the Everfrost flower?” Adrian asked as he does not have enough time to idle anymore.

He only has sixteen days left to finish the quest and if he finishes early then he might get a bonus. Adrian thinks that he might get a bonus because it was hinted by the way the Ice Queen Elona spoke. Adrian might ask for a legendary weapon in exchange for the original reward so he wants to finish the quest.

“You must enter the place where the bastard monk hid the item that split us into two. Retrieve it and make us whole again. In exchange, you will have every important herb in this ridge.” Both the cryophoenix and the phoenix stated.

“If that is what you wish then I will gladly do it as long as you give me the herb. Where did the monk hid the item?” Adrian answered in a serious tone.
