Omega Summoner

"A tomb that is populated by clay soldiers with the boss being a hero from the past. Saru does not look like he has an idea either." Adrian uttered as they are now going to the newly sprouted tomb dungeon that is reported.

"I think we are already in the area." Peridot stated as she pointed to an area that is filled with people.

The tomb that emerged looked like a giant cave entrance which is decorated by mysterious items and symbols. Adrian could feel that something is different in the air, but he could not pinpoint its exact nature.

Players started to clamor as they saw a huge dragon descending from the sky and two people riding on it. Accompanying the to people is a monkey like person that rode a cloud. When the two people descended, numerous gazes and chattering noises could be heard as the crowd recognize the two people.

"It is Equinox and Peridot, but something is strange with Equinox' right arm?!" One of the players whispered as a sudden wave of gossip suddenly emerged from the crowds. Adrian covered his right side with the cloak as it could be easily changed in the way it is hung on the body.

"It seems that we have gained some fame from being other races." Adrian stated but he did not really care to hide anymore as he is strong enough to defend himself.

"More like notoriety since you are famed for allegedly kill stealing the boss during the dark god raid." Peridot stated as she moved to the entrance of the tomb.

"Is that why some people have glares that could kill? Then again, I never really cared but what are they doing here in a tomb?" Adrian asked as he does not know why there are a ton of players here when the reported loot of the place is chump change.

"It seems that something blew up when we were waiting for you to heal your magic circuits." Peridot stated as she could see that the forum for the eastern continent started blowing up.

"What is the commotion all about?" Adrian asked as it seemed to be something great for a lot of high leveled players to gather in a certain place.

"It seems that someone got a Legendary Tier skill when she defeated the boss with her teammates when they cleared a tomb. It was only her that got the skill, and it is extremely powerful as it buffed the team with near impenetrable defense." Peridot stated as she read the thread of the player and she even posted video evidence to back up her claims.

"If they really wanted that then why are they not raiding the tomb?" Adrian muttered as he soon arrived at the conclusion why no player has yet to enter the tomb.

[Answer the riddle in order to gain entrance to the tomb.]

[Riddle: My life can be measured in hours; I serve by being devoured. Thin, I am quick. Fat, I am slow. Wind is my foe.]

"It seems that we need to answer the riddle in order to proceed. Do you have the answer?" Peridot asked.

"I have the answer. Do we go inside now?" Adrian asked via the party chat.

Peridot is about to answer when a group of individuals suddenly came towards Adrian and Peridot. The items that these five people wore are definitely not normal as it is shining like it has been enhanced. The only thing that Adrian did not like of the group is their attitude of arrogance that they radiated.

"Are you that famous demon player?" One of the players that came towards Adrian asked.

"I do not know about famous, but I am of the demon race." Adrian replied but did not look at them since he is busy looking at the layout of the tomb.

"Party with us and you will easily clear this tomb. We are from the Shadow Claw guild, and we can assure you that anything you encounter inside is covered." The man that looked like a berserker stated as he radiated that arrogant attitude that Adrian finds annoying and hurts his eyes.

"I do not know of your guild but thank you for the offer. The three of us are already enough to clear this tomb." Adrian stated respectfully as he does not want to sound snarky or an inflated ego.

The man finally snapped as he thought that Adrian is looking down on them because he is famous. He admits that the Shadow Claw guild might not be a top guild now, but it is steadily growing into one. The man wanted to lunge at Adrian but a mage from their team pointed at Kanlaon and then to Saru.

"I did not say that to offend you, but my friend and I are in a mission that we cannot share nor have other party members in the group. Please be understanding of that. Goodbye!" Adrian stated with a smile as he answered the riddle by drawing runes that spell out the word 'Candle'.

Adrian and his group vanished from the outside which made the others gasp in shock. The fact that they entered the tomb earlier than those that arrived before them meant that they knew the way in. Someone from the crowd stated that Equinox drew something in the air using mana.

"What did he do?!" One of the players that witnessed the sudden disappearance of Adrian's group shouted as he believed it to be witchcraft or some type of magic that can shift locations since demons operate like that.

When the players tried looking at the playback, they found out that he drew some symbols, but they do not know what they mean. They tried recreating the word that Adrian drew but nothing happened even if they perfectly copied it.

Writing the word Candle is not the only way to enter the tomb but Adrian used the most inconspicuous method instead of saying the word outright with his will. The only thing that the players missed is that they did not infuse will to their words which is why the tomb never accepted it.

"It is no use. I cannot encrypt the message which is why we need someone who can understand runic languages." The female mage player from the Shadow Claw guild stated.

"So, we will be stuck here while that lucky player just has a free a pass?" The leader of players from the Shadow Claw organization stated which meant that they will not stop until they get the money."

"It is not that, but I do need a moment to talk to someone and he just waltz in from the corner like a child." Another member from the shadow guild stated.

"Make sure that demon brat gets a bounty or else I will rampage here and hunt those that failed." The berserker looking person stated as he indeed to be on his way to the toilet for a break.

Adrian, Peridot and Saru arrive inside of the tomb, and it is pitch black. Adrian had no problem, but Peridot does not have the ability to see. She had to illuminate one of her floating gems in order to even see the light of day.

"What is this place?" Peridot asked.

"It feels familiar in a sense, but I do not know what it is. Is it one of the Deathlands but that should be impossible? I can feel it inside of my bones, but I cannot remember what it is, but I know this feeling like I have always been a part of it." Adrian stated as he thought where the scent inside of the tomb is familiar.

"What are you doing?" Peridot asked as Adrian is ducked onto the ground while smelling the eerie mist that rolled out.

"I am trying to see if a Deathland is accidentally summoned here which made the clay soldiers walk and kill people that enter their master's tomb. It is almost like they are being controlled but I am not sure if the area of coverage is small or large." Adrian added as his keen observations continued to evolve with his skills.

Before Peridot could react, a group of fifty clay soldiers suddenly sprouted from the ground despite being dead for years. The clay soldiers were not that difficult for their group since they are quite brittle and easy to break with just the perfect amount of pressure. The clay soldiers that attacked them easily got broken amidst the fight.

"Sorry that I was not much of help from your battle against them." Adrian stated.

"So, this is what it feels to be in the front line. I kind of got jealous that you will be sitting back but then again, it is still better than not telling him something that I learned." Peridot stated which Adrian heard.

"The clay soldiers are nothing but fragile pottery but the alarming thing the fact that those kids are just normal humans that I failed to protect."
