Omega Summoner-Chapter 29: They're Alive

Adrian arrived at a burial ground. He surveyed his surroundings first and looked at Sirius and Kanlaon to check if they are fighting fit. He was wary of his surroundings because it was silent, eerily silent. They did not move from where they are standing due to the atmosphere of the dungeon. Adrian's concentration was boggled by a system prompt that happened.

[You have entered the Forgotten Graveyard. First Explorer reward has been given to player Equinox. Two times experience point gain and increase drop rate for the first clear.]

●Quest Notification●

Love for the Dead

The Chronomancer Koronn wants you look for the heart of a gravekeeper that is said to live in the depths of the Forgotten Graveyard. Be wary for the dangers of this dungeon is unknown. Once you obtain the quest item, you will be teleported out of the instance dungeon.

Difficulty: A

Clear Condition: Gravekeeper's Undying Heart

Reward: Epic Chronomancy Skillbook

Adrian was stunned by the mission objective. He cannot get out of the dungeon by dying. He would respawn back to the dungeon unless he gave up the mission but who in the right mind would give up the quest especially if an epic skill book was the prize. He really wanted the skill book that would be given to him. He is desperate for skills in order to increase his combat prowess and survivability. So far he only has one combat skill, one debuff, one healing skill and one aerial movement skill. Still, Adrian is both excited and nervous. An A rank difficulty quest is not going to be easy but it should be scaled to his level. He just prayed that he would become lucky and breeze through the dungeon.

The trio started to move to a building with a broken metal gate. It seems this graveyard is styled like a crypt though there are tombstones present above ground. Some tombstones were intact, some were badly damaged. It looked like the graveyard itself has been rotting which made him curious as to when in the timeline did Koronn send him to. At least, he did not have to be wary in changing the past like he was warned not to do.

" Why do I feel like I am being watched by multiple people" Adrian whispered as the three of them were walking to the crypt's entrance.

Sirius suddenly stopped and growled which put Adrian into his battle stance. He put spacemines around him so that he could not be caught off guard. If something sprang up to attack him, the spacemine would detonate and damage the attacker. He beckoned Kanlaon to his side because he was just a hatchling and he could get knocked out easily. After a few minutes of keeping the battle stance, he finally saw the monsters that he would be facing. Hands started coming out of the ground. Some were skeletal while some had rotten flesh. The zombies if you could call them that had armors covering their bodies which one could infer that the zombies have been warriors when they were alive. Adrian inspected the zombies to give him more information about his enemies.

Monster: Zombie

Lvl: 15

HP: 500/500

Description: Classified as the lowest tier undead next to skeletons. Low mobility but has massive damage and health. Has corrosive properties to their attacks.

Adrian could not believe the enemies in the dungeon they were higher leveled than him. He was now questioning himself if the reward was really worth the effort. He was inside an unknown dungeon that could potentially lead him to go down to level 10 because he could die more a lot. In Pandemonium, you could not go below level 10 and you could respawn infinitely until level 20. If you pass level 20 you would not be able to respawn infinitely instead you would be ejected out of the game for four hours. This was made in order to entice the player base to mix and match skills and test its effectiveness which some basically died testing the skills combos they created.

Given the special nature of the dungeon, Adrian could guess that this dungeon has a level restriction of 20 since he would respawn here at the dungeon. The main boss of this dungeon is probably at Level 20. He could not believe it, he was just at level 11. Adrian did not know that in order to trigger the quest is that you must have at least one party member and your average was level 10 or greater but since he was a summoner, Sirius was considered a party member. The quest was supposed to be normally for a player that is level 20 due to the difficulty of the quest and Koronn would provide his assistant as a party member for him. Poor Adrian, he should not pester Ascalor again so that he would not suffer like this again.

The zombies numbered in the hundreds and moves slow. The trio was encircled by the number of zombies thus Adrian ordered Sirius to decimate the enemies. Sirius charged through the enemies and started his assault. Sirius was easily defeating the zombies because he was quick but Sirius cannot keep this for long. He ordered Kanlaon to uses his attack skill since mana would not be a problem to him since he was not level 10 yet but even Kanlaon cannot keep up with the increasing number of enemies. Adrian casted spacemines until his mana hit rock bottom. He made a safe area for him and Kanlaon so that they would be well protected from the hordes of zombies. Adrian was getting worried that he only created a temporary solution until he remembered his new weapon's ability. Adrian smiled and activated the rune.

"Geoforce" Adrian shouted.

The demi-gauntlets increased in size about ten times. It was now two over-sized gauntlets that has sharp claws. It is 3 feet in length and looked imposing. Adrian was amazed by the transformation of his demi-gauntlet. Now, he could pummel and even shred his enemies because to him the gauntlet weighed almost nothing but to his enemies it weighed about a ton. With his weapon ability being this good , Adrian jumped towards the dozens of enemies in front of him leaving Kanlaon spitting fire breaths to zombies that are going near him. All that remains in his mind is the experience that he would get farming this many zombies.
