Omega Summoner - #1744 - 1744 Severing the Soul from the Child

“Please gather all of those that were here when the siege happened. We do not want anyone suddenly dying in the middle of the street.” Adrian stated to Yumeko’s parents.

“We shall do so immediately.” Ina stated as she commanded all of the servants to call all the people that were here during the incident years ago.

“I should also warn all of you that we might attract the attention of all the monsters around the area. When I break the connection, all of the magic used will flow towards the soul fragment which will attract all the monsters. They might also be attracted to Yumeko’s soul as it has been tempered to the fullest which will entice monsters that want to gain intelligence.” Adrian stated.

“Fortify the city immediately! Only the guards that were not here during the incident should be those outside.” Saito Hajime commanded as the soldiers started to create a defense line.

“Just as I thought. He would not invite anyone unless something is about to happen.” Peridot stated as she received the party message from Adrian.

“Does he always anticipate things like this?” Frey asked.

“Since he only brought us three then the monster horde might not attack. He might have deduced that a small chance that their ritual will attract monsters which is why he made sure to bring at least one of us along with Levin Cloud. Let us just hope that a monster horde will not come as he predicted.” Peridot stated.

“I always wanted to fight monsters in the eastern continent. Maybe one boss monster would be fine!” Frey stated as she was suddenly excited but that made Peridot’s have goosebumps.

“Why do I feel like I suddenly saw Equinox’ mentality from her?! It might just be in my mind.” Peridot thought as she quickly put that thought in the back of her mind.

Peridot took out twenty earth crystals and casted a spell on them. She then let them fall on the ground to be absorbed. The earth crystals would then travel to specified destinations to create a perimeter around the city.

“I have already placed Tagging Crystals around the city. Should a monster enter, I would be the first one to notice. I can immediately point you to a boss monster should one come.” Peridot stated which made Frey amazed as the city was large even members of the Briar Rose guild cannot achieve such a feat easily.

“I have laid down the array. Yumeko, please stay at that magic circle.” Adrian stated.

Adrian created two magic circles that are connected via a link. One of the magic circles is drawn with the soul fragment in the middle. Yumeko stepped inside the magic circle as she was instructed by Adrian.

As soon as Yumeko entered the magic circle, the link that she had with the soul fragment can now be physically seen. Those around them tried to rub their eyes to see if they were seeing things but they could see clearly. There was soul link that was about an inch thick that connects Yumeko with the soul fragment.

“We can see the link which means that the spell is working perfectly. Are you ready on your end?” Adrian asked Levin Cloud.

“I think so.” Levin Cloud replied.

“Sir Scribe, can you tell me what you are going to do? Are you going to create a complicated array that will slowly melt the connection?” Kondo asked as he was slight curious about the process.

“Oh no! I would physically cut the connection myself. The arrays are just a way for me to have a better view on what I am cutting. It also makes sure that the soul fragment and Yumeko stay in place.” Adrian stated.

Adrian’s statement made Kondo become unable to react. He did not think that brute force was the only way to destroy the connection. He almost laughed as scholars would have argued that there would be a better way but who would dare argue with the only one that has the solution.

“Will she be absolutely safe?” Ina asked.

“Do not worry as she will be safe. If I cut the connection without the magic circles that I placed, then she might be in danger. This way makes sure that she will not feel the pain of another soul attached to her be separated from her own. Are you ready, Yumeko?” Adrian stated.

“Yumeko is always ready!” Yumeko stated with great energy, but she was still slightly afraid.

“I am ready as well.” Levin Cloud stated as he gathered the people that will be affected by the process. 

Even though the servants of the house did not know why they were called, they made sure to not kick up a fuss since they have already served this house for quite some time. The more they zip their lips then the more comfortable their life will become. This was the etiquette of servants serving one of the most prestigious houses in the eastern continent.

“Yumeko, can you close your eyes with your hands? Only take them off when I say that you can take them off alright?” Adrian asked Yumeko.

“Okay!” Yumeko stated as she covered her eyes with her hands.

“Why did you make her do that?” Kondo asked.

“Children should not see the next scenes after all.” Adrian whispered the answer.

“I will start!” Adrian announced as his human form started to shed.

A triple-colored mass of energy suddenly replaced Adrian’s human form. His true form invoked horror to those that are not used to seeing it. Those that were afraid were told to look away while those that can see his true form have finally been given the physical form of absolute death.

Adrian actually manifested his true form in the real world without invoking his skill. He could feel the world pressuring him to stop what he was doing. Before Adrian could no longer bare the suppression, he used his sharp claws to strike at the link that connected the soul fragment with Yumeko.
