"I will file this to the law as I am being dragged against my will!" Adrian stated in protest.
"Shut it will you! You are needed which is why I am dragging you myself to the mission area. Well, more like Moksha is dragging you under my command. I already know your personality that runs away when you smell something bothersome." Peridot stated as they were escorted to the Room of Truth to meet the other elders.
"Peridot greets the elders of the House of Creation." Peridot stated as she bowed with respect. The elders of the House of Creation all looked at her with smiling faces and beaming smiles.
"Hi, old dudes!" Adrian greeted to which the elders found unpleasant as some of them are sensitive about their age. All of them are sensitive about it but some plants grudges if you mention something about their age. The smile that they showed immediately turned into frowns.
"It is good that both of you are now here. I have a mission for the two of you." Nuwa stated.
"I know that I am here due to my duty but why did you need my friend's help?" Peridot asked as she was sent a telepathic message to make sure that Adrian will also come.
"The problem that we are currently experiencing will need the expertise of someone that is connected to the God of Death. We need both of you to investigate the tombs that are sprouting in random areas of the eastern continent." Nuwa stated which made Adrian somewhat interested.
"By tombs, you mean the ones floating in the rumors that give ordinary people special abilities that resemble the one that is buried in the tomb?" Peridot stated as she knows the gossips that are circulating in the eastern continent due to her secret excursions.
"How did you know of that information? You know what never mind. The young demon looks uninterested since we dragged you here against your will, but we will compensate you with any reward you desire as long as it is not something on the level or higher than the Pinnacle Magic stone that you wanted to get extracted." Nuwa stated.
Adrian smiled as this might be the perfect chance to get hold of the item that he has been searching for a long time. He still needs to evolve his second oldest soulbound that he cherishes but his evolution path has been stunted because Adrian could not find a way to introduce another evolution.
"If that is the case then I want the Core of a Wind Dragon." Adrian stated boldly since they so gladly offered any compensation.
The members of the House of Creation got stunned at Adrian's request as it is lower in quality compared to the pinnacle magic stone but who in their right mind will give the core of a dragon to someone that they barely know despite being a close friend of their cherished 'granddaughter'.
"To actually dare demand dragons to give up the core of another dragon! Preposterous! We should punish him for thinking so little of us." One of the elders stated in a slightly angry tone.
"You guys said anything that is lower in quality than a Pinnacle Magic stone so I chose something that I need. I am currently handicapped so this compensation should be just enough." Adrian stated as he pointed out that he is missing a whole arm.
"We shall agree but in return, you must find out the real truth about the sprouting tombs." Nuwa stated which made the other elders shut their mouths as the Grand Mistress herself agreed.

"Peridot will be accompanying you since you are currently not in tip shape for fighting. I am giving both of you this mission because there are restrictions in entering the tombs. And only the both of you fit the bill in this entire house. Saru will also be present to protect you my beloved student." Nuwa stated.
"I am grateful for the protection that you have given me, master." Peridot replied.
"Is there something that we should know about the tombs before we will head out in about an hour?" Adrian asked as he could only cast magic after the timer for his magic circuits become zero. He will be able to complete cast magic again after an hour.
"The only thing that we have noticed about these tombs are their random locations. There has also been an instance that a tomb that has been cleared popped out again in another location but there is no same tomb that sprouts at the same time." Nuwa stated which Adrian already made a hypothesis given the sample data that he has been given.
"Is there anything that we need to know about the tombs? Like the enemies that are present inside?" Peridot asked.
"The only thing we know is that all the enemies inside the dungeon are types of humanoid golems. Apparently, beating the whole tomb will grant you strength equal that of the person that the statue represents but nothing has been proven if that happens all the time." Nuwa stated.
"Despite them being made of clay, the enemies are fierce and strong that most of those that can enter the tomb has died. A golem that is made of metal is said to be the strongest monster in the dungeon.." Another elder added which made Adrian come alive as defeating metal enemies is the way to go.
