Omega Summoner

When Adrian stopped his dramatic response and stood up, he immediately sent a message to his best friend Marlon the price tag of the skillbook. Marlon replied with a shocked face emoji three times. The current auction price for the skillbook is 10,000 gold and the current exchange rate for gold is 2.5 dollars per gold coin. The two best friends underestimated the demand for such a skill especially for knights. 𝑙𝒾𝘣𝘳𝑒𝒶𝒹.𝑐𝘰𝓂

Knights are one of the most well known type of warrior job advancement and is the most well-balanced in term of stats. Knights are said to have almost equal attack and defense which makes them ideal as substitute tankers but not main tankers. If played well they could be optimal as a damage dealer and a defender but a glaring weakness is that they rarely have high damage dealing skills and paired with balanced stats they do not specialize in something. Nevertheless, being a knight is still popular due to some people that wants to be in servitude of a beautiful princess or are just fond of the medieval era. Knights are a popular job advancement.

The reasons for the high selling price of the skill are two things. The first reason is the execution mechanic of the skill that kills the target directly and if used correctly the player could very well become a ranker. The second reason is the high skill damage modifier if the execute failed which is still very high in comparison to regular knight skills thus the high demand for the skill specially for warrior players with knight related professions. They rankers would definitely want this skill and the price is still rising bit by bit even as Adrian was observing it. The auction would only end if no player bids for the item in about six hours since its last bid. Adrian decided to close the auction tab and only focus on leveling up since he still has a long way to go.

Adrian looked around to where he was teleported out of the instance dungeon and he was still at the outskirts of the Thrall Plateau. He told Sirius and Kanlaon to survey the surroundings and changed them to their chibi forms so that if they get spotted by other players they would not even try to attack them and make them harder to spot since they were smaller. A few minutes later Sirius returned while Adrian was petting Saena. It seems that Sirius found something so through their soul link, Adrian called for Kanlaon. Adrian really loved the versatility of the soul link because he could give orders just by thinking of them but of course he had to practice focusing because it takes great mental capabilities to put it in practice.

Sirius led the way to a cave that was only about 7 feet in height and was covered by the dense forestry in that area which concealed it perfectly from the eyes of those who do not search for it intently. A little close to the entrance were items that were more of the miscellaneous variety and some coins. This must have been the result of the notifications that showed in front of Adrian and when Sirius returned in his full form.

Adrian picked up the items even though they would be of little value because who knows when someone might need it anyways. The cave was seven meters in height while it was only about a meter and a half in width. It was more fitting for it to be called a crack than a cave. When Adrian used his Dark Blue Evil Eye skill, the name of a dungeon popped up.

[Dungeon: Secret Thrall Plateau Goblin Encampment Outpost. Level Requirements: 40~50]

Adrian was happy with the unexpected dungeon encounter and with his soulbounds by his sides they entered.

When Adrian regained vision, he was on top of a ridge inside the of the plateau itself and from above one could see numerous goblins undergoing training and a large tent at the north of the training grounds. Still, what made Adrian shudder in excitement is the system notification that popped up.

[You are the first to discover the Secret Thrall Plateau Goblin Encampment Outpost. You will gain two times the experience and double drop rates for the first clear of this dungeon.]

With just this dungeon, Adrian will get six times the experience with his experience buffs stacking. He was excited but not too excited to just charge right into the fray without assessing the situation. It seems this dungeon only has a single layer which has its pros and cons. A single layer meant that parties could easily handle the waves of monsters but the problem is that Adrian was not in a party even though he has great fighting power as a summoner the vast number of enemies in this dungeon is not a number he and his soulbounds could handle wantonly.

Adrian decided to sneak in a little closer and to do that he used a skill that he has never used as of yet.

Skill: Soul Form Manifestation

Tier: Legacy

Effect: Shrouds the target with the power of Limbo and transforms the target into their soul forms. Targets in soul form cannot be harmed by physical attacks but will be dealt twice as much damage by magical attacks. Grants the target invisibility during soul form. Any form of attack by the recipient or being dealt damage will undo the effects of Soul Form Manifestation.

Cooldown: 5 minutes

Cast Time: 5 seconds

Mana cost: 500 Mana Points

He only used it on himself and told his soulbounds to wait for him to signal their attack. When Adrian used the skill on himself, his body started to fade from existence and turn pale white as if he was only a smoky silhouette. He then turned invisible and his form resembles that of a white specter but his soulbounds could see him just fine by his assumption because Saena tried to land on his head but passed right through which she turned her head in confusion.

Adrian then moved closer to the training grounds that was filled with goblins that were doing sword swings, target practice using a bow and a few who were trying to cast spells. Adrian was a bit nervous that he might be seen since a goblin was walking towards him and he was shocked that the goblin passed right through him though the goblin looked back which made Adrian’s body paler than it was. It seems that as long as he does not attack or is not hit by magic in this state he is ok which is why he did not go close to the goblin mage recruits practicing magic. It was their name when Adrian took a look at their status.

Monster: Goblin Mage Recruit

Level: 45

HP: 35,000/35,000(100%)

MP: 20,000/20,000

Description: A goblin that has potential for magic and pursuing its evolutionary path to become a Goblin Mage. It possesses low health but greater mana than other goblins.

Adrian then looked at the status of the other goblins.

Monster: Goblin Warrior Recruit

Level: 42

HP: 45,000/45,000(100%)

MP: 5,000/5,000

Description: A goblin who is pursuing to become a Goblin Warrior that has mastery over weapons that deal physical damage. It possesses higher health and stamina than other goblins.

Monster: Goblin Ranger Recruit

Level: 40

HP: 33,000/33,000(100%)

MP: 10,000/10,000

Description: A goblin pursing to become a Goblin ranger that is capable of hitting targets from afar. It is more nimble than other goblins.

Adrian was pondering what to do in this situation because the goblin warrior recruits numbered in the hundreds while the goblin ranger recruits are about less than a hundred and the goblin mage recruits numbered about fifteen. It makes sense that there are few mage recruits because the talent for magic is not common in this world. It only became common when the ‘players’ arrived since becoming a mage was very popular since the game’s release. It seems the elites are having a meeting in the large tent but when Adrian was about to go closer, he stopped because it feels as though he should not go closer. It was the right decision because inside that large tent was a Goblin Mage that could feel mana fluctuations which would alert the goblin commanders that someone snuck inside their encampment.

It did not take long for Adrian to be at full mana again and he went towards the center of the training field. Adrian wanted to test out a theory that he just thought of just now and that is to channel a spell while in Soul Form Manifestation. Adrian knew the perfect spell for this dungeon and that was the skill ‘Vortex’. Adrian then started chanting the spell and a black void was formulated in his palm and it slow but surely rose upwards in the training field. The goblin warrior recruits and goblin ranger recruit did not feel a thing but the goblin mage recruits suddenly feel mana fluctuation somewhere in the training field but could not detect where it is coming from.

With a snap of his fingers, all hell broke loose on the goblin encampment.
