Omega Summoner

Before Levin Cloud, Kabrakan and Solstice entered the hidden islands, Levin Cloud already messaged Adrian in the real world about their quest. He once again messaged him when they were tasked with killing a corrupted god fragment.

Levin Cloud wanted an insurance that they can at least mitigate the damage if they were to fail the first attempt. Adrian responded that he will now head to their location since his best friend asked him to. If he was completely confident, then Levin Cloud would not have asked Adrian that.

Levin Cloud and Adrian were banking on the fact that they could kill the corrupted god fragment using their synchro skill. It is the most powerful spell in their arsenal, and they already witnessed its capabilities once against a dark god.

Adrian proceeded to teleport to the southern part of the eastern continent where he is welcomed. He also tried to look for the old hermit that gave the gourd to Kabrakan, but he is unable to locate the said individual. He asked around the beach area, but all the people replied that they do not know who he was describing.

Due to this, Adrian had to fly to the cloud formation and enter it a few times. He had the same experience as the three did when they entered it. Unlike the other three, Adrian already started to closely examine the cloud formation if he could find a trace of a magic circle or arrays.

It took him one hour of continuously traversing the cloud formation just to get a hint of the array that created it. Upon feeling the array, Adrian immediately memorized the sensation of the array. Upon memorizing the sensation, Adrian directed it towards his eyes so that he can see the array.

This would have been dangerous for a normal being as foreign mana often disrupts or poisons the mana of individuals if they are not great at handling it. Due to a demon’s natural physiology, they are more resilient to mana which is why they can easily inhale it like air. The guidance of the mana did not take a short time like what other people might think.

It took Adrian one hour of redirecting it to his eyes because of the complexity and the small amount that he could detect. When he can already feel that the mana has settled perfectly in his eyes, he activated his Evil Eyes. As soon as Adrian opened his eyes, he could see the wide array that is placed on the very space.

Unlike magic circles, arrays are vastly different. Magic circles are two-dimensional representation of magic and is much quicker to release. Arrays are different because it is a three-dimensional magical writing that utilizes a vast area. It can also gather mana from the surroundings in order to continuously operate without the aid of the caster.

“The problem is that arrays are like three-dimensional puzzles that changes at a given time. It is not constant like magic circles which means timing is also part of the calculation.” Adrian stated as he started to fly around the area.

Adrian had to teleport every 40 minutes back to the southern part of the eastern continent to check with words that he does not know. Even some of the runes used in the array are not familiar to the eastern continent. He might even think that the runes used in the hidden islands is much older than he thought.

Adrian managed to solve part of the array in under two hours, but he is sure that it will not be enough to enter the hidden islands. He then tried something out of the box that will definitely break all the rules of magic.

“If I cannot solve it with pure brain power then I will push through using pure power.” Adrian stated as he suddenly casted Vortex.

Adrian cast his legendary skill Vortex and even enhanced it with all the primordial energy in his reserves. The black hole devoured everything and even the clouds that is drawn by the array. Adrian thought that parts of the array will be drawn as well but he is mistaken. Only the clouds were sucked inside the black hole, but the array stayed resilient.

He did see that the array somewhat shook when no more clouds were in the area. Adrian also discovered an interesting fact upon doing so. The clouds are acting as illusions for the eyes as well, but the most important part is the clouds change upon being drawn by the array.

Clouds usually dissipate after a few hours, but the clouds drawn by the array somehow become stable. The clouds are turned into a special state where it is flickering between solid and liquid. This makes the cloud stay in permanent shape and add to the wall of clouds.

Adrian tried to traverse the area where he deleted the clouds, but he felt something crash upon his body when he moved after ten meters. The surroundings suddenly bent as he noticed that he is being led to the area where he just walked into. Since the area the clouds have covered is a far stretch, one would think that they walked back because they got lost but that is not the case.

The ones who enter the cloud formation are subjected to a spell that messes with their sense of direction. This will also lead them to walk back to the direction they went but they will think that they went in a straight line. Even Adrian’s status nullification is completely bypassed by the array.

“This is basically impossible. I am not even turned back after one kilometer but only after ten meters. It not only messes with the sense of direction but also the sense of reality.” Adrian muttered but the whole array formation suddenly shook.

Adrian then heard a piercing shrill cry in the distance as the array suddenly became haywire for a few seconds. Adrian immediately knew what he needed to do and took this chance as an opportunity. When the shrill cry echoed, the array became muddled and a way inside is shown momentarily.

“Time Stop!” Adrian stated as he snapped his fingers, and the world suddenly came to a pause.

Adrian made use of the ten seconds that he can muster to traverse the sudden pathway that appeared before him. He poured more mana into his wings to make it stronger as he wanted to enter the hidden islands before the array becomes stable. Within ten seconds, Adrian managed to traverse half of the distance, but the array started to become stable once more.

The clouds that opened a path started to close from behind as Adrian desperately attempted to enter the hidden islands. The stabilization of the array came at a faster pace than Adrian has expected because the clouds were closing in on him. The distance between him and the clouds were just one foot, and it is still becoming shorter.

“Almost there!” Adrian shouted but he probably jinxed it as he got swallowed by the clouds.

“Should I escort you to the easiest exit way?” Apolaki asked.

“No need. We already have our transport service coming to us. We might lose sight of each other if we do not wait for him.” Levin Cloud stated which confused the other two as well. 𝙡𝓲𝙗𝒓𝙚𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝒐𝙢

“Who are you waiting for?” Apolaki asked.

As if on cue, the clouds above suddenly swirled and descended on the ground. A dark void also spawned in the area where the clouds landed as a hand reached out from it. The warriors surrounded the dark void as they do not know if the thing coming out is hostile or not.

“That was a trip.” Adrian suddenly stated as he came out of the dark void.

Adrian came out of the dark void, and it also disappeared when all of his body is out of it. He is shocked upon seeing numerous hostile forces pointing their weapons at him. He looked at Levin Cloud and wondered what is happening.

“I thought that the people here are welcoming?” Adrian asked.

“They are but they will surely be hostile if a freaking demon looking person comes out of a dark void of nothingness. I thought I told you to look for the old hermit.” Levin Cloud stated. 𝒍𝒊𝙗𝓻𝒆𝓪𝙙.𝙘𝙤𝙢

“The hermit is gone like the wind. I had to improvise. Did you know that part of the array covering the hidden islands has one thousand formations? That is only a part of it. The scale of this array formation is very scary that it might fry my brain if I tried to really solve it.

Anyways, I found my way here thanks to the death elemental sprites that passed through the barrier. I solidified this location thanks to the life elemental sprites. Let me tell you that being lost inside an array full of clouds is not a satisfying experience. I almost puked and lost my mind that all I saw was clouds.” Adrian stated.
