Omega Summoner

"I find no offense to that, Champion Equinox. Since we have never met, I have never properly introduced myself. I am Mellite, the Guardian of the Exchequer. To what do I owe the pleasure of you visit? You are not here to steal something are you? If you are then you will be punished by spanking." Mellite stated as she made a whipping motion.

"Nope!" Adrian replied followed with an awkward laugh.

"I am just teasing you. All Arch Demons will have a chance to visit the Exchequer once in their lifetime as a reward for becoming one. Do you wish to go in now?" Mellite stated which made Adrian pause.

"Wait...you said that all Arch Demons enter here because they will be rewarded? Did I just get bamboozled by the elders?" Adrian stated.

"Yes, all Arch Demons can pick one treasure here on the first level. It has been a tradition of sorts, but I can only accompany as the guardian. I will not help you in picking the treasure that you need." Mellite stated.

"The elders told me that there should be treasures that contain the knowledge of the Asmodian. I want that and they said that I will get access, but it would be up to me if I were to get acknowledged." Adrian stated.

"You are correct, Champion Equinox. Actually...all the treasures here in the treasury are relics from the past. All of them are treasures passed down since the start of the epoch. To be honest with you, even I cannot see what they can do because the treasures themselves choose their owner." Mellite stated.

"By choose their owner, do you mean they have created an ego just like my weapon here?" Adrian stated as he pointed to the Cube of Paradox.

"Oh my! Your weapon is actually quite unusual and powerful for an ego weapon. It feels like it has supreme intelligence already." Mellite stated as she looked at the Cube of Paradox with shock and awe.

Mellite's reaction is similar to the reaction of any blacksmith that sees the Cube of Paradox. They are entranced and would even beg Adrian to let them appraise it. He did not let them do that as he is not sure of what their real intentions are, and the Cube of Paradox does not want them as well.

"The relics in the treasury are not as powerful and unique as your weapon but they do have great abilities. Make sure to resonate with anything in the treasury as best as you can." Mellite stated.

"Are there instances that Arch Demon's fail?" Adrian asked.

"There are instances where they fail to get a reaction from the relics, but they can try again at a later time when they are ready. Shall we go in?" Mellite stated as she started to tour Adrian inside the treasury.

The items in the treasure are all located on top of some pedestals made of white marble. Each of them is floating as if some magic is cast upon them to do just that. Although, what really impressed Adrian is the fact that the relics are indeed unidentifiable even if he used his Evil Eye.

"The fact that my evil eye could not see their information means that they are indeed have some form of ego inside of them. It is that ego that hides their information to those that want to use them. So, the test to get their approval would be to see what they could do." Adrian thought as Mellite was giver him a tour around the whole treasury.

​ The treasury has quite a lot of relics, but one could see that some have empty pedestals which means that they have found their owner. Some should have been lost in time as some Arch Demons fell in battle where their treasures cannot be retrieved. Since Adrian has yet to feel something from the items he has seen, he decided to ask Mellite some questions about herself.

"Paradox, proceed to find the relic that would be the most beneficial to us." Adrian commanded as the Cube of Paradox split up into smaller cubes to look for the optimal relic.

"Can I ask what is your Persona? I feel that you are not an Arch Demon because your power level seems to be higher than the three elders." Adrian asked Mellite.

"You are as sharp as my husband said you are. It seems that you are the sensitive type as it might due to you being able to cast even the trickiest of our magics. You are correct, Champion Equinox. I am not an Arch Demon but a Noblesse just like Pann. Although, I am also weakened just like him due to an injury from the war. I would have died if my own relic did not protect me from fatal damage." Mellite stated.

Adrian's gaze is then directed to the large slash near the stomach area of Mellite's armor. He did find it odd why she was wearing an armor that is damaged but to think it was a relic. Adrian would have asked why she did not want it repaired but not anyone can repair a relic. One would need to have mastered Alchemy and Blacksmithing to even attempt to fix a broken relic.

"At least, you are alive. Life is more important after all, and I thank you for your great courage in defending the world." Adrian stated with great sincerity to which Mellite smiled. She would have teared up, but she has her dignity as a guardian to uphold which is why she only gave a smile.

"Master, I think I might have found something that is very compatible to us." The Cube of Paradox reported to Adrian to which he almost jumped for joy.

"It seems Paradox has already found something that can be very helpful to us." Adrian stated as Mellite followed behind him. She actually wanted to giggle from the innocent happy face that Adrian displayed earlier.

Adrian followed the trail of smaller cubes that the Cube of Paradox left as a guide. He is guided to a rather small area in the treasury where only one pedestal is located. On that pedestal is an orb that has some sort of otherworldly vibe.

Mellite immediately reacted upon seeing the orb because it is one of the most guarded and mysterious treasure in the treasury. Even though she does not know what the item is, she was told that this was the most prized treasure in the treasury despite it only looking like a black orb.

Adrian's eyes glowed upon seeing the orb that is floating because it has a kaleidoscope of colors within that could be said to be harmonious but chaotic. He could tell that this thing is somehow calling out to him, and he was about to touch it when he heard Mellite's voice.

"Are you sure about this one, Champion Equinox? Even the elders back then have no idea on what it is. All that we know if it is the fact that an Asmodian gave it to us for safe keeping. Since the Asmodians are no longer here then you could say that it is an ownerless item. Do you still want it?" Mellite asked.

Mellite will not stop Adrian from getting this relic if he were to choose it, but she does not want him to be disheartened. A lot of Arch Demons coveted this relic back then because it was given by an Asmodian but even those that have high Asmodian Bloodline could not activate the relic.

"Are we sure about this, Paradox?" Adrian asked the Cube of Paradox because it is the one that led him here.

"I am completely sure, master. Although I cannot scan it fully, this item has the same similarities to the energies that you are giving. This is the most perfect item here in the treasury that can be useful to you. Others are not up to par compared to this one." The Cube of Paradox stated.

"Are there other relics that are compatible to me here?" Adrian asked as he heard that the Cube of Paradox mention the word 'others'.

"Yes, master. About 50% of the relics here are compatible with the master due to his bloodline but this is the only thing in here that is compatible with your very soul." The Cube of Paradox stated.

When the Cube of Paradox mentioned soul, he meant the very core of Adrian's existence. If such a relic is compatible with him then it would almost double his combat ability. He will not feel any sort of resistance even if he were to make a mistake in the bonding process.

"Shall I proceed with the bonding process with myself as the anchor?" The Cube of Paradox stated.

"Wait...why are you the anchor? I should be the one to bond with it, right?" Adrian asked.

"I am a part of master's soul and as such anything I intake will be passed down to you as well." The Cube of Paradox explained.
