Omega Summoner

Chapter 507 Sacred Snake

The moment that Adrian stepped on the inner border, he suddenly felt a piercing gaze directed at him. The gaze is not hostile but more of a scrutinizing one. He did get information that the southern overlord could detect others from faraway. Adrian suddenly got curious of the elusive overlord.

[Your every move is being watched. Be careful and do not do anything to harm the surroundings and the inhabitants of the territories.]

Adrian could see that he is now in the gazes of the southern overlord, but he could not see it. Adrian tried to use his Evil Eyes to pick up a soul, but he could not. He could only see numerous souls of weak monsters that are living in the area.

A strong soul would usually become a different color than the pale white color of ordinary souls. The overlord’s souls should be golden in color as Adrian used it on Scarlet. At first, he did not think that Scarlet is the Western Overlord as golden souls are not limited to powerful monsters but also powerful NPCs.

Adrian now used the color of the basis as he could get fooled by his normal eyesight. He used his evil eyes until his stamina dropped to half, but nothing is getting picked up. He could not know why that is, but he guessed that a skill might be interfering with his evil eyes.

Evil Eyes have a weakness and that is inaccuracy when people could hide their souls. The Undead King and his other top-grade subordinates could do it as they have been undead for a long time. Even the Daemos elders could do it as analyzation magic is basically magic created to peer into the souls of the living.

It is a magic that was only used by summoners to find soulbounds but some genius mage back then reconfigured it. The reconfigured version is basically the Inspect magic spell. Adrian’s Inspect skill has already fused with his Evil Eyes which means that the latter is a more powerful version of the skill.

“Southern Overlord…Sir…Ma’am. Whatever you are called. I am here for an audience. Can you please talk to me? It is important.” Adrian shouted as he waited for a response.

Adrian waited to almost an hour but all he heard is birds chirping or the occasional cricket sound. The Southern overlord is definitely not going to meet him like he is now, and a special condition should be made. He wanted to wreak havoc on the area, but he does not know if he will be able to step foot on the territory again if he does so.

Adrian noticed that the monsters in the area are not hostile. They would even scatter if Adrian is about five meters away from them. The southern territory is basically full of monsters that are scared of confrontation or strangers.

After the initial wait for no response, Adrian suddenly heard the howl of wolves. He immediately used Soul Form Transformation to become invisible as he knew that demon wolves are coming to the area. Even the western territory had demon wolves attacking them but the aeromorph warriors dealt with them.

This time the territory did not have any kind of protectors as the southern territory is treated something like a safe haven for creatures that do not like to battle or are too weak to battle. Such a thing should have been impossible in a world where the survival of the fittest is the standard, but it is possible thanks to the southern overlord.

Adrian just watched for now as the invading demon wolves scared the weak animals that even he ignored as they are also scared of him. The demon wolves looked vigilant as they did this as if they are expecting a response. When no response is created when they just scared the weak monsters, they finally started releasing killing intent.

The killing intent released by the demon wolves are enough to freeze the weak monsters in their place and accept their deaths. One of the demon wolves even tormented the poor creature and not killing it outright. The other demon wolves did so as well, and they toyed with the ones they captured.

Adrian might be a player and also treat other monsters as experience, but he is also a summoner. Summoners are basically the bridge between monsters and people. One of the requirements of the summoner is the right treatment of their soulbounds.

If the soulbounds are not treated correctly, they will first start to ignore the commands of their master. If the master still does not treat the soulbound better, the soulbound will then attack their master as a form of revenge. When the soulbound could no longer handle or stand their master, the soulbound will forcibly terminate the contract between them.

Contracted monsters are the monsters that are considered soulbounds which are the summoner’s named monsters. A summoner could have a number of soulbounds but only a certain number could be active at a time. Also, numerous soulbounds does not mean a better summoner as the soul of a person could only handle what it could. 𝑙𝒾𝒷𝘳𝑒𝑎𝘥.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Back to the contract termination, the process and result of the contract termination is not painless. If the soulbound monster cancels the contract, the soulbound will only be weakened for a certain amount of time. The master will become weakened for a duration and would not be able to form another contract in about a month in the least.

The summoner would also feel the sense of loss as something that has become a part of them has been lost. Some summoners would go into depression or a loss of senses until they recover. Summoners basically fuse their souls with the soulbound which meant that they are tearing apart their own soul if a soulbound cancels the contract. In other words, the summoner and soulbounds are one.

Summoners are basically the ones who understands monsters best dur to this innate ability. The other summoner players might not know this, but they always avoid torturing spells and attacks on monsters whenever they fight one. The developers ingeniously set this up so that the balance of nature is preserved through the summoners.

The monsters that are being toyed around are now almost at death’s door. Adrian I about to move as he saw one of the demon wolves going for the kill when a shadow of something hit that demon wolf. The demon wolf got sent flying towards a tree and became minced paste.

The other demon wolves suddenly turned into their battle mode as the one they want to challenge has finally started to move. Adrian also sensed another’s presence, but he could not pinpoint the location as it felt like it was everywhere.

The demon wolves that are now in battle stance ignored the monsters that they toyed with and focused on their surroundings. Adrian, on the other hand, started to rescue the injured monsters as they are at death’s door.

Adrian used Sirius as a means to transport the injured monsters stealthily. He used the shadows as ports while Saena immediately started the healing of the injured monsters. The injured monsters started to heal steadily but Adrian made it faster by using the Life Essence in him although it is scant.

While the injured monsters are being healed steadily in a secluded area, the demon wolves that tormented them are steadily becoming meat pastes. The unknown attacker of the demon wolves has yet to show itself, but Adrian had a glimpse of the body shape of the attacker.

Adrian managed to see a tail when he applied Chrono Shift on himself. The skill became an effective tool in determining fast attacks as it not only increases speed but also reaction time. But the speed of the tail attack is still too fast for Adrian to distinguish which is why he could still not see the one attacking the demon wolves.

When the last demon wolf became meat paste, Adrian looked around to see if the southern overlord is now visible. He could not see anything as a mist suddenly rolled in, but he still continued to heal the injured monsters. The healed monsters became very friendly towards Adrian and some even rubbed their cheeks on his foot which made his other soulbounds jealous.

He is currently tending to the last monster while those that he healed are gathered around him when suddenly a shadow is cast behind him. The shadow that is cast is elongated as the mist also collected behind him. The small, injured monsters immediately scattered as if they are frightened by the presence behind Adrian.

Even Saena’s reaction became rather comical as the proud bird suddenly froze. Adrian slowly turned around to see the one casting the shadow and he is surprised. A giant snake with pure white scales is looking at Adrian with its red eyes but it was not filled with hostility but with gratitude.
