Omega Summoner - Chapter 2107: Please Take a Reward
2107 Please Take a Reward
[All enemy entities that are inside of the auction house have been cleared.]
[Your soulbound Sirius have killed numerous enemies without being spotted. He received bonus 5% damage to attacks that hit targets that do not see him.]
[Your soulbound Charon have killed numerous enemies without being spotted. He received bonus 5% damage to attacks that hit targets that do not see him.]
“I have managed to clean up everything but the rat that you told me to spare has started to run away.” Adrian stated as Sirius informed him of one staff that suddenly got terrified when the masked men were killed by shadows
“Thank you very much, Champion Equinox.” The auction house owner stated which made Adrian look at him.
Adrian knew that he was famous, but it seems that the auction house owner has more information about him that he thought. He could also feel the eyes of the VIPs inside of the rooms above. They were not moving because Adrian did not offend them in anyway, but the stares are feeling a bit burdensome for him. He felt like his entire body is being scanned for a weakness and that is not something that he likes since it feels like they are undressing him.
“The gratitude is appreciated but I would just like the necklace.” Adrian stated.
“Of course, please give the necklace to the patron.” The auction house owner stated as he gestured one of the attendants to give the necklace to Adrian.
The attendant nervously gave Adrian the necklace as she was indeed afraid of him. In fact, many of the people that he saved are afraid of him because the method he used to kill was swift and merciless. The attendant sucked up her fear and handed the necklace to Adrian. She was also somewhat affected by Adrian’s aura as he is making sure to also release some of it.
The pressure that Adrian exuded was enough to make a normal person faint on the spot. The fact that the auction house owner could stand beside him without shaking has caught his attention. Adrian knew that the auction house owner is not normal as well since his soul burned golden which meant that he has great power or great destiny. Adrian just took the necklace and is about to teleport away, but the auction store owner stopped him.
“Please wait. The area has been enclosed off by a barrier that prevents any teleportation. While you wait, why not take another item from our vaults? It is a way to show you our gratitude for helping the auction house.” The auction house owner stated as he wanted to form friendly relations with Adrian.
The entire central continent knew of the power held by the Lord of Avalon that is also the Champion of the Twin Gods. The other kingdoms might be wary of him because of his race, title, and gods that he serves but the merchants look at him like a gold mine. The merchants and auction houses tried very hard to form a connection with Avalon but the Merchant Guild Avalon Branch Leader Piggy Bank guards him like a wall.
The Lord of Avalon cares less about worldly affairs and is mostly not in his territory but he actually has great impact in the potion market. The potions created by the alchemist in Avalon was far superior compared to any of the potions created by other alchemists. Even the Grandmaster Alchemists wanted to know the methods used by the alchemists in Avalon to brew potions. Not only the potions, but also the materials in Avalon are incredibly precious.
“I must at least form a good connection. I must not let this chance slip by.” The auction house owner stated.
“If you meant the puny excuse of a barrier outside then that is of no problem to me. I shall be going now. Thank you for the item that I needed. Should you find any interesting items like this again then you can contact Piggy Bank. Tell them that I have sent you.” Adrian stated as he along with Sirius and Charon vanished from the area.
The auction house is then flooded by the guards outside to check on the people inside. It was as if Adrian saw that they were coming and escaped as fast as he can since he did not want to draw anymore attention. The auction house owner made sure to tell that the powerful people in the auction house defeated the masked men. He also told the secretary of the king that questioned him that it was a demon that helped them.
The auction house owner did not say who that demon was and just told them that the demon bid an item. He took the item when all the commotion was over and vanished. The auction owner clearly knew why Adrian told him to look for Piggy Bank. The auction house owner was given a choice of forming a connection or selling the Lord of Avalon out. He chose the connection as few people could get connections to Avalon unless you know someone from the inside.
Adrian did not know that his action led to more items that circulated in Avalon. There are also some regulated black market items being sold in the black market through the connection that Adrian created. Piggy Bank once again praised Adrian for his powerful connections and timings when he wanted to take control of the black market. Solstice also fully utilized this connection to further the activities of her underlings.
Adrian, on the other hand, appeared a bit far away from kingdom but a bit skewed from the coordinates that he entered. He thought that he could easily ignore the barrier, but it seems to have changed the coordinate. Still, he was able to get out before the guild in charge of that kingdom found out that he was there. He also wanted to get out as one of the gazes from the VIP room gave him the creeps.
“Master, danger!” Sirius shouted as he shot out shadow tendrils to counter the sudden roots that aimed at Adrian’s head.
“No wonder the quest did not change even if I got the quest item. It seems that I need to kill an enemy first.” Adrian stated as a dryad suddenly formed from the vines that sprouted from the ground.
“Give that item to me, demon. If you value your life.” The corrupted elder dryad stated.
“I bid for this item, so it is mine now.” Adrian stated as he destroyed the necklace to take the unknown stone of power.
“Die! Demon!” The corrupted elder dryad shouted as she created poisonous spores that are sent towards Adrian as if she could easily control them.
Charon was still hiding but showed himself when Adrian was in danger. Chains suddenly struck the corrupted elder dryad which absorbed her mana and health. The control over the spores of the corrupted elder dryad suddenly waned as she lost focus for a moment. Adrian used that chance to summon Kanlaon to create a powerful burst of wind that destroyed the spores in one hit.
“Summon Elemental Dragon: Red Dragon!” Adrian chanted as a red dragon manifested and summoned flaming meteors that hit the corrupted elder dryad.
Kanlaon fired off his dragon breath and directly hit the corrupted elder dryad and created a hole in her body. The hole in the corrupted elder dryad did not vanish but she scattered into vines. The corrupted elder dryad vanished to the ground, but Charon told Adrian that she was still in the area since the chains are still absorbing her health and mana.
Adrian might have not chosen the best location to battle the corrupted elder dryad. He was currently in a forest which meant that the enemy is more powerful here. Adrian suddenly felt movement in the ground and immediately used blink to vanish. Roots that were laced with poison destroyed the ground that he was in as those very things tried to grab him.
“Summon: Light Crested Swan: Attack Mode” Adrian stated as a light magic circle appeared, and the silhouette of the Light Crested Swan appeared.
The silhouette of the Light Crested Swan flapped his wings and released sparkling little light swans to the ground. The light swans penetrated the ground and destroyed it even further, but it was incredibly effective in uprooting the corrupted elder dryad. The mythical tier skill has a homing function which is why the body of corrupted elder dryad was directly hit.
“Kanlaon, burn her down.” Adrian stated as he froze the corrupted elder dryad in time.
Adrian’s mana could be seen getting decreased at a fast rate as stopping time of a live being messes more with causality. Kanlaon did not disappoint as he suddenly blazed his flame dragon orb and released his dragon breath on it. The dragon breath that was golden is suddenly enhanced with the fire element which burned the corrupted elder dryad. The screams of the corrupted elder dryad echoed in the area.
