Omega Summoner

2051 Journey to the East III

Knowing that the changes in the eastern continent has been great, Adrian did not want to stay too long. He immediately went straight towards Vermillion City after passing through the town where he gathered information. Apparently, the people who revived the Goddess Izanami is also spreading like wildfire which is why there are no people that travel that much. The protectors of the east were also sealed in their mountain by the Goddess Izanami herself.

The reason why Peridot was reluctant to say things about the state of her master is that she was sealed along with the other eastern dragons. They were all sealed when they were in their hibernating state and the gatekeepers were even severely injured or killed trying to stop the Goddess Izanami. The descent of the Goddess Izanami meant that she must have broken the shackle of power in the eastern continent and has the power of a high goddess.

"The dimensional barrier is weaker here compared to the central continent. The dimensional barrier is weakening to the point that it is becoming difficult to maintain. The twin gods will be asleep for at least ten years which means that lots of incidents like this will happen. Should I get in touch with the Gods of Death in the eastern continent?" Adrian asked.

As Adrian traveled, he reached more villages and towns that were in high alert. The people were more wary, but it seems that they can still interact as long as you are inside of the actual village or town. They do warn the travelers that the cult that revived the Goddess Izanami are also kidnapping people in order to feed her. Adrian is a bit disturbed about this because gods eating mortals are a taboo.

In fact, the reason why the people of the eastern continent have abandoned their gods is that simple fact. The people of the eastern continent turned to the Four Divine Beasts for sanctuary as some of their gods no longer treated them as followers but as sustenance. This also made it difficult for the good-hearted gods to flourish as the other gods went mad. The mad gods also overpowered the good-natured gods and devoured their divinity to the point that some incarnated as mortals.

Adrian might have not spent a lot of time in the eastern continent, but he has seen mortals with the divine soul of gods. He did not dare to interact with them as he feared that he will be roped in troublesome things, but they are real. The incarnated gods might also be trying to stop the Goddess Izanami as testament to the fact that the latter has yet to fully control the eastern continent.

Along the way, Adrian saw some shady figures trying to kidnap him which made him sigh. He did not think that he would become a target because he made sure to minimize his presence to the point that he would be inconspicuous. The problem is that two children suddenly ran up to him in tears. The older boy seems to be carrying her injured young sister as they are fleeing from the hooded pursuers.

"Please help us, great master!" The young boy shouted as tears and snot filled his face while being slightly filled with hope as they encountered a warrior as they ran away.

Adrian made sure to use his eyes to determine if the two children were indeed children. In the eastern continent where, shapeshifting monsters are more common, the chance of encountering one were one out of five. A lot of monsters learn to polymorph in the eastern continent as long as they reach the Legendary tier. Adrian checked their souls, and they were indeed children due to their young auras. He checked if they are monsters that are young, but they clearly have the soul of a human being. The two young children hid behind Adrian without even knowing if they will be saved by him.

"Give the children to us and we will let you be on your way, traveler." One of the five hooded men stated.

"Please! I am begging you to save us. They ransacked our village and killed everyone there." The young boy stated.

"Why do I always end up getting caught up in secret organization dealings in the eastern continent?" Adrian stated with a sigh.

"You better give the children or else your head will be separated from your neck!" The hooded man stated.

"What assurance do you give me when I hand them over? Will you not just kill me since I am a witness of a crime?" Adrian stated which shocked the young boy as he might actually give the latter to them.

"You have no say in this matter, mortal! We are immortals! We can easily capture the kids even if you stand there! We were just enjoying the hunt as it relieves our boredom." The hooded man stated with a laugh as the others did so as well.

"It seems that you are also affected by madness. The goddess you worship must be terribly affected by it as well to even infect the so-called immortals. Still, I thought the Immortals are beings that try to go against divinity not come under one." Adrian stated which made the hooded men look at him with killing intent.

"Let us just kill that wanderer and be done with it. The goddess needs sustenance if we want to be given our rewards." Another hooded man stated as they charged towards Adrian.

"Sirius, protect these two kids." Adrian stated as Sirius suddenly came out of his shadow to protect the two kids.

The hooded men were surprised to see a wolf monster suddenly pop out of Adrian's shadow, but they did not waver. They have known of the Omnyojis and their capability to tame monsters as familiars. They just classified Adrian as one even though he has the appearance of a warrior that is wandering to hone his skill. The hooded men suddenly realized that Adrian did not have a sword on his back or waist which meant that he was not a warrior.

"Just kill him! If he is dead, then the familiar will die with him!" The hooded man shouted as four men jumped towards Adrian while the other went towards the kids.

"Charon and Wisteria, bind them." Adrian stated as Charon manifested his body while Wisteria suddenly came out of the ground.

Charon's chains suddenly bound them while Saena used the trees to strengthen their bind. Adrian then summoned his spear armament and proceeded to pierce the heart of the enemy that is closest to him. Adrian thought that he would instantly kill the hooded man that was captured but a shield suddenly manifested that blocked his attack. The critical hit to the heart did not connect as an artifact of the hooded man activated and blocked Adrian's attack entirely.

The artifact not only defended the man but also created a powerful reverberation that destroyed the chains and vines binding him and his other comrades. The hooded men suddenly retreated far away as they knew that familiars could not stray too far from their master. They all thought wrong as they did not expect Charon to suddenly appear behind them and bind them once again with chains. Of the four that were bound, only the one that used his life saving relic is caught while the others escaped using some tricks.

Adrian is a bit shocked to see three people easily bypass Charon, but he remembered that they are Immortals. They are long lived beings that have hoarded lots of things in order to save their live or prolong it. Immortals are beings that want to make sure that they will stay alive which is why they are pursuing the path to immortality.

"Help me!" The hooded man stated but they suddenly thought of running away seeing that they cannot easily win.

"Argh!" The scream of the hooded man that came for the kids echoed as the others saw Sirius biting his head cleanly and killing their comrade.

"Apologies but we need to stay alive!" The three hooded immortals shouted as they used some sort of life saving talisman to suddenly vanish.

"Those might be similar to Teleportation Scrolls, but they did not twist space in order to escape. They used natural energy instead which made them traverse terrain using nature itself." Adrian stated as Wisteria explained how the three escaped.

"Cowards!" The captured hooded man stated as he suddenly noticed that Adrian is now in front of him.

Adrian was not even scared of them because he already saw their levels. All of the men that came to him were all level 250 which meant that dealing with them is already a cakewalk to him. The hooded man tried to plea for his life, but Adrian was having none of that. With a quick swipe of his spear, the man's head came flying as it was his head that flew instead of Adrian's.
