Omega Summoner - Chapter 2129: Raising an Army Against the Evil Fae
Adrian met up with Faust as he needed to check if their emergency landing was a success. He found him a few kilometers away from the Forest Swamp Abomination. Salamander’s giant size has returned to a smaller form to conserve energy. The other lesser elementals did a salute and vanished as they are not needed for now as the airship is now in its condensed size.
“That was a cool display of power.” Adrian stated as he did not expect that Faust had a secondary job that is called Generalissimo.
“You call that cool when you basically ripped the sky and summoned meteors to rain down on the enemy.” Faust stated.
“It might look cool but the damage that I did was not as impactful as yours. You made the walking monster go into sleep mode as it has seized to do any motor functions as of the moment.” Adrian stated as he always gives credit when it is due.
Just as Adrian described, his own spell was not that much of a difference as he only shaved off 5% health. The spell might be powerful and large in range, but the damage is still calculated based on his own magic power and the opponent’s defenses. Faust with the combination of Salamander was able to do 20% of the Forest Swamp Abomination total health. In terms of raw damage, Faust did more than Adrian even if the latter has a cooler looking spell.
“We just have a great combination of skills, and they are weak to Salamander’s purifying flames. In that form, my secondary job class boosts Salamander by 200% as he is counted like a command ship. Thankfully, all my sacrifices and persistence paid off as you praised it as so.” Faust stated.
“That is true as most players did not like the Generalissimo secondary job class because it only boosts rides that are treated as a command ship. To think that you have succeeded in creating a combination of old and new magic is a great achievement.” Adrian stated.
“It was a great deal of time and money. Still, I am thankful that I have a supportive guild. Anyways, we should head back now. They might be done with the meeting, and I am afraid that my guild leader will choose to be on the front lines or fight the enemy in a headstrong approach.” Faust stated as he feared that his guild leader will volunteer to lead the front lines without any strategy.
“Let us go then.” Adrian stated as he snapped his fingers and both of them disappeared from their location.

“Oh! You guys just arrived in time as we are now in the last part of the briefing.” Siegfried, the guild leader of Infernum stated.
“Splendid work on the bombing of the enemy though. It would have been good if it died there.” Ain, the guild leader of Valor, stated as he did not want to fight such a thing if he could.
“It is great to see you both as well.” Adrian stated as he sat on the seat that was designated for him.
“Since all guild leaders and vice guild leaders are now in attendance, I will now give a rundown of what was discussed earlier so that Equinox and Faust could catch up.” Anastacia stated.
“The first course of action would be to have the mage classes for each guild to band together. They would perform spells of high destructive capabilities while being safe. This team would be led by Peridot as she would be enhancing the spells of all of them. They would be supported by a team composed of tanks that is led by Siegfried. His role would be to repel any beings that try to harm the mage unit.
Assisting the mage unit from the back would be the ranged unit led by Alder. They would provide cover fire for the mages should any enemy gets inside the mage group. The healing unit that is led by Levin Cloud will be in the middle of the mage and ranged units to provide support should it be needed.
For the infiltration team, they would be led by Ain as he is better in close combat and single targets. The elites of each guild that also have the same strengths as Ain will join this team. The summoners along with Equinox and Mariposa would be our way to combat the mass number of soldiers that the enemy could create. That is the proposed strategy for now, does anyone have anything to add or object to?” Anastacia asked.
“Actually, I need to add something as it seems that all of us will move based on the strategy.” Adrian stated.
“Please feel free to add.” Anastacia stated as she knew that Adrian will not speak unless it is important.
“The Faekin are a troublesome race. No offense to my best friend.” Adrian stated.
“None taken. I am also finding them troublesome as well. Continue.” Levin Cloud stated. “Why are they troublesome?” Mariposa asked.
“Each of the Faekin species have special abilities that can help them avoid being seen, heard, or detected.” Adrian stated as all of the people in the room looked at him with great interest while Levin Cloud had a eureka moment as he forgot to add that when they were discussing things earlier.
“I suddenly feel pressured, but I guess I will continue. The Fairies can create a special dust from their wings that let them bend reality whimsically. They do not bend the entire reality, but they could basically hide themselves perfectly from any other being. This is also the reason why children are advised not to follow sparkly things in the forest as it might be a fairy changing the perception of the child.
The dryads and leshy are a bit different as they could easily hide amongst the trees. They can perfectly blend into any wooden surroundings or even any surroundings that are filled with nature. They also have a special skill like the fairies that allow them to walk inside forests without having their presence be detected. Only those of the same race could easily detect each other and unfortunately, we only have two of them.” Adrian stated.
“Two? I thought we only have Levin Cloud as a leshy?” Siegfried pointed out.
“We have a guild member who is a black fairy just like the one we are facing. She might be new
to being a fairy, but she is still one, nonetheless. Anyways, I think all of you got my point when I told the secret abilities of the faekin.” Adrian stated.
“They might try another approach that is sneaky and infiltrate Neo Alfheim if we are not careful.” Aisha, the Valor Guild vice guild leader, stated.
“That is correct, and they might actually be observing us or rather this territory at the very moment.” Adrian stated which made the room suddenly become tense.
“Do not worry as we still have the world tree’s protection. The world tree would have informed us if they have already infiltrated Neo Alfheim as she basically has full control of the place. Still, there is a lot of forest outside of Neo Alfheim so one of the enemy dryads or enemy leshy might be quietly observing from there.” Levin Cloud stated which eased the tension in the room as they now know that the inside of Neo Alfheim is safe.
“If that is the case then the attack force would need to be lessened in the event that we get infiltrated while we are not there. I believed that me and a handful of guild members alone could defend my territory, but it seems that it was a bit optimistic in my end.” Anastacia
stated.
“How about this then?” Adrian stated as he proceeded to add something that the enemy might never expect.

The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn led the clearing of the perimeter while the Forest Swamp Abomination was not moving. They were now delayed a day from reaching the destination and the Black Fairy Mavros’ rise in strength. She sensed lots of beings that lurked around the Forest Swamp Abomination and proceeded to start killing them. At first, she wanted to have them be converted to Foliage Soldiers, but they become particles of light when she kills them. “Even those blessed ones are now targeting us when my queen is in slumber. This is not acceptable to her as I have promised that she will rise without any issue. Half of you must raid towns and villages near this area and bring forth fresh meat to join our ranks!” The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn stated as she exhausted herself to the utmost and commanded the Foliage Soldiers to start conquest of towns and villages.
The sudden conquest of nearby towns and villages alerted all of the neighboring kingdoms of the existence of the Forest Swamp Abomination. Each kingdom sent small armies to destroy the threat that is now near their borders.
