Omega Summoner - #1745 - 1745 Monster Horde in the Eastern Continent
Adrian pushed his true form out into the mortal realm without the confines of his domain. He could feel the pressure from the world in making sure that his true form does not get out. He knew that he did not have enough time which is why he immediately destroyed the link between Yumeko and the soul fragment.
As soon as Adrian severed the link, a powerful shockwave of energy is suddenly released from the castle. The source of the shockwave was none other than the soul fragment as it leaked some of its energy. The shockwave is then followed up by a force that swallowed everything back into its energy.
Yumeko fainted from the sudden process, but she was incredibly safe due to the array that Adrian has created. The shockwave was not only felt in the Land of Yamato, but it was actually felt in the entire eastern continent. Even the beasts that were sleeping suddenly woke up as a powerful energy source was felt.
The beasts roared as they woke up from their slumber. The shockwave that the soul fragment created was akin to a heavenly treasure forming in the eastern continent. These heavenly treasures are natural medicine that can change the destiny of any being when they absorb it.
Adrian immediately encased the soul fragment inside a time capsule that he created so that it would not emit anymore energy. He turned around and saw the horrible scene of people suddenly collapsing on the floor as they bled out. Levin Cloud immediately cast his most powerful healing spells in order to save all of those that gathered.
The people of the castle felt some sort of energy leave their body when they were hit by the shockwave. That was the immediate time where the temporal magic affecting them suddenly got erased. All of them weakened and started to show signs of being hurt.
“I can manage. You can return to Limbo and deliver that soul fragment. If it still here, then we might be in more danger.” Levin Cloud stated.
“Thank you. I will return immediately.” Adrian stated as he suddenly vanished from the room which made those that observed him clamor in shock.
“Those that can move… make sure that you observe everyone that looks like they would die. I am just healing them in a group. You must tell me if someone needs specific attention.” Levin Cloud stated as he shifted to his base form since he cannot focus enough to keep his human looking form.

“The monsters are coming.” Frey stated as she could feel her blood pumping due to the numerous sounds coming from the surroundings.
“They are here. I want to do large spells but that would reveal my location. If that happens then I might invite more troublesome enemies. I am counting on you to lead this one while I will support you from the shadows.” Peridot stated as she casted numerous buffs on Frey.
[You have cast Flame Armor on your ally, Frey. She will have increased 20% physical defense and magical defense for ten minutes and deal 0.01% of the enemy’s health per second if they touch the Flame Armor.]
[You have cast Aqua Ringlet on your ally, Frey. She will have increased 50% health regeneration for ten minutes. She will also recover 5% of her maximum health every two minutes.]
[You have cast Enchanting Winds on your ally, Frey. She will have additional 5% magic damage on all her physical attacks and 30% defense penetration for 10 minutes.]
[You have cast Solid Ground on your ally, Frey. She will have 50% chance to negate the status ailment for ten minutes. She will also not be knocked back by any attack or skill for the duration.]
[You have cast Looming Shadows on your ally, Frey. She will have a shadow follow her and have it block attacks once every minute for 10 minutes. The shadow will block attacks that the ally cannot block or evade as priority.]
[You have cast Dazzling Light on your ally, Frey. She will have additional 10% light elemental magic damage added to her attacks and skills for the duration of ten minutes.]
“Wow! I never had anyone cast six elemental buffs on one person before.” Frey praised Peridot as she is genuinely impressed.
Usually, elemental buffs are not something one could cast carelessly. An opposing element could cancel out the other which would result in the person not getting any buffs at all. The fact that six elements could become one is something that any elemental mage would be jealous about.
“No problem but it does take lots of focus which is why I do not do six at a time in group settings. Since I am only supporting you, then I can use it easily. Rampage to your heart’s content while those two are still busy there. They would join us once everything has been taken care of in that place.” Peridot stated.
Frey nodded at Peridot’s suggestion and immediately activated Valkyrie’s Ascent. Frey suddenly had rainbow wings made of light. Adrian actually became shocked when he met Frey at Avalon as she was no longer in a weakened state.
Frey has saved her goddess with Adrian’s help and that restored their connection. Due to her selfless act, Frey became even closer to the Goddess Freyja which is why she was bestowed with a Goddess Fragment. This Goddess Fragment is none other than an actual piece of the soul from the Goddess Freyja.
Due to the Goddess Fragment from the Goddess Freyja, Frey’s skills that stem from the Valkyrie job class has become stronger and easier to use. She can also call upon the Goddess Freyja to descend onto her body without any repercussions which means that she is much deadlier than ever. She did not use Goddess Descent yet since she does not know what kind of powerful monster might show up sneakily to head to the castle.
Frey knew that she might be fighting in the front line, but her real objective is to protect the castle. All the people of Yamato also started to take arms as they were determined to fight. Those that cannot fight were told to evacuate to the castle but that is only small children.
The people of Yamato are not pushovers which is why this is considered the safest place in the eastern continent. The people here are actually warriors themselves and they pride themselves with strength. One could even get a free meal in Yamato as long as they defeat the owner of the stall in terms of strength or ability.
The large monster horde that might scare off any normal civilian is actually quite welcomed by the people of Yamato. They were even looking at the monsters as their special ingredients in their dishes. They were not afraid to fight because they have been doing so for generations. Even preteens join in on the fight, but they are still guarded by adults.
“Why do I feel like I have been surrounded by battle maniacs? This place might be the definition of heaven to Adrian.” Peridot stated as she made sure to carefully use magic since she does not want anyone to know that she is a Ryujin.

“You are quite early in getting the soul fragment.” The God of Dreams Morpheus stated.
“I did not need to fight such perilous battles to obtain it which is why it is quick. I still need to return quickly though as a monster horde is attacking the city. It would be quite embarrassing for me to not participate in the fight when I was the one that triggered it.” Adrian stated.
“Very well. Place the soul fragment with the other one. I have already told my brother to visit this time so we should just wait until he arrives.” The God of Dreams Morpheus stated.
A few minutes later, a boat suddenly started to get closer to them from faraway. The Ferryman of the Dead Charon has come with the soul fragment. Adrian already sent word to the God of Dreams Morpheus when he met Yumeko earlier. The Ferryman of the Dead Charon handed the soul fragment to Adrian and the one that he had suddenly fused with the first one that he received.
[You have attained the second soul fragment of Abel.]
[Do you wish to view the memory? This might give a clue to the location of the next fragment.]
“I shall view the memory later. I need to return to the mortal realm and help in the fight. I thank the two gods for helping me in storing the soul. Please keep it safe again, Ferryman of the Dead Charon.” Adrian stated with a bow as the Ferryman of the Dead Charon nodded back towards him before sailing away.
“When you wish to view the memory of the soul fragment, just come to me and I shall aid you. I also want to see what memories an Asmodian holds.” The God of Dreams Morpheus stated as he returned to his realm.
