Omega Summoner

The metal statue is actually able to summon cay soldiers to do its bidding as if it is controlling the whole area like its personal playground. Adrian noticed that clay soldiers get created with each movement of the fan. It seems that this metal statue is really the boss of this tomb to have that kind of ability.

Monster: Kongming’s Statue of Honor

Titles: Great Tactician’s statue, Array Master’s statue

Level: 200

The metal statue is none other than a poor copy of the original Kongming, but it still has the abilities of the original albeit weaker. The Great Tactician should be something given to the original Kongming due to his prowess in military warfare. The array master is already self-explanatory, but Adrian has yet to know how the ability works.

With the swipe of the fan, rows of clay soldiers then sprouted up from the ground and wielded their weapons on Peridot and Saru. The two had to retreat as the clay soldiers almost dealt damage to them. Sirius and Kanlaon cannot penetrate the defense of Kongming’s Statue of Honor which is why they regrouped.

“Any idea on how to defeat that thing?” Peridot asked as she could see that Adrian is thinking of a plan.

“If we can get the fan then we might be able to stop it from summoning more clay soldiers.” Adrian stated as he considered it the first step. 𝑙𝒾𝘣𝘳𝑒𝒶𝒹.𝑐𝘰𝓂

“Got it. Let us see whose clay soldiers are better!” Peridot stated as she also raised ten clay soldiers of her own to clash against the clay soldiers of Kongming’s Statue of Honor.

Adrian noticed that the clay soldiers that Kongming’s Statue of Honor summoned are much better compared to Peridot’s clay soldiers. The clay soldier that Kongming’s Statue of Honor summoned felt as if they have intelligence as he saw that some even dodged or blocked attacks from Peridot’s clay soldiers.

Adrian burned all his energy in order to strengthen his senses and he was able to determine what are the peculiarities of the clay soldiers summoned by Kongming’s Statue of Honor. The portal to the death lands is connected to the clay soldiers as they are being inhabited by souls.

The souls are most likely from warriors that are loyal to Kongming when he was alive. This only means that the soul that is inhabiting Kongming’s Statue of Honor is none other than the soul of the hero. The fact that the souls of the dead are back to the material world means that someone is messing with the fabric between life and death.

“Nether Domain!” Adrian suddenly stated as his whole body transformed to his true form.

The whole area became covered in the mist of the Nether Domain. The clay soldiers that Kongming’s Statue of Honor summoned all became dust as the souls that occupied them all ran back inside of the portal that is located on the chest of the metal statue.

Adrian looked at his right arm to see if it is there, but it did not regenerate. It seems that the curse of the world is much more powerful than he imagined but that also put a smile on Adrian’s face. He could use this information one day when he faces off against the demigods or gods.

[You have summoned the Nether Domain.]

[You cannot fully transform to your true form due to the heavy curse that is etched upon your soul.]

Adrian saw the notifications and frowned when he saw that he cannot actually use his true form. Still, summing the Nether Domain is the biggest help for the team that is being overrun by numerous clay soldiers.

Kongming’s Statue of Honor looked stunned when the clay soldiers became dust which should have been impossible since it is a statue. They did not notice this as they were too focused on the battle. Peridot even used her most powerful ability.

“Elemental Rush!” Peridot stated as the gems that floated beside her all imbued their elemental attributes towards her body, and she transformed to a serpentine dragon like Kanlaon.

[Your party has destroyed Kongming’s Statue of Honor.]

[Kongming’s Statue of Honor judged that you are unworthy of its inheritance.]

[You do not get the promised reward for this dungeon as your party did not qualify for the test.]

She then charged towards Kongming’s Statue of Honor and broke the metal statue in half without much difficulty. Kongming’s Statue of Honor easily broke apart due to the varying elemental attacks present in that attack. It is the deadliest attack that Peridot has right now but also the most situational.

“I guess the boss monster is not that tanky seeing that I managed to one shot it.” Peridot stated as she held a victory pose but quickly became limp when she read the notification.

“You destroyed it too fast that I did not even get to discover how it is able to summon spirits of the dead from the death lands. You should have used another skill to neutralize it so that I could have see that portal.” Adrian grumbled as his investigation would have to continue to another tomb in order to be conclusive.

“It was weaker than I expected. I thought it was something super strong which is why I used my most powerful skill for it.” Peridot replied.

“Your most powerful attack that has an attack multiplier of 10,000 and a cooldown of 30 days that is not affected by cooldown reduction. You overestimated your opponent which is why you became excessive. Then again, that is how you usually roll as you put your all even if you already have certain victory.” Adrian stated as he investigated the wreckages of the metal statue.

“Should I say this, but it is strange. I felt that the metal statue and the clay soldiers were alive.” Peridot stated.

“They should feel alive because they are being controlled by souls of other dead people. Those that infested the clay soldiers are probably experienced war veterans..” Adrian stated as the clay soldiers moved like a coordinated unit.
