Omega Summoner

Chapter 296 - The Prophet Of Death

Adrian looked at the cowering little boy in front of him. The little boy has become scared of the company of people due to the prolonged isolation. Although frightened, the little boy mustered up the courage to reach for Adrian's hand that the latter reached out.

Adrian observed this interaction from Dr. Happy as he was not his only patient that needs to recover. He found this type of therapy from Dr. Happy when he was tending to one of his patients that is considered as fearful of peoples' attention. Adrian wanted to replicate what he observed that day.

The little boy, Mortem, also held out his hand in an attempt to grab Adrian's hand but the former still showed fear. The hand of Mortem reaching out to Adrian trembled in fear as it come closer. The hesitance of the boy showing from his fearful gaze.

Adrian did not move his hand as he took his time in waiting for the little boy's hand to reach him. Levin Cloud stood on guard outside while this was happening as he knew that the elven sentinels were not fools to stand by and let them do as they please.

"It seems that even the Elven Sentinels are afraid of the sealed prophet due to his unstable powers. If the sturdy trees eventually wither and die just from the aura that he released. His unstable powers are a result of no one teaching him or guiding him." Levin Cloud stated with rage as he clenched his fists.

A few figures finally emerged from within the dead forest and Levin Cloud saw this. The elven sentinels emerged ready for battle but are still wary of the death energy shockwaves. Levin Cloud told Adrian's soulbounds to prepare for battle as there are enemies in front of them.

The elves did not go past the clearing as they did not want to suffer the full effects of a sudden death shockwave should one be released if they are in the vicinity. The elven sentinels took the bow attached to their back and pulled the strings.

The bow seemed to look like the same material that was used for the door that kept the Prophet of the God of Death in prison. The elven sentinels did not utilized physical arrows but rather elemental arrows that deal extra elemental damage. The elven sentinels let loose of their arrows and Levin Cloud with Adrian's soulbounds could only defend.

If any of those arrows were to slip past them then Adrian would be hit which could make the already scared little boy become extremely terrified. Levin Cloud immediately used Santuary and this time it could be used on a location rather than just a person.

He covered the whole area of the prison to become a holy ground where no bloodshed will occur but the downside is that he and all his allies will not be able to cast spells or do attacks. They can certainly move about the area but they cannot do acts that can be seen as aggression.

The elemental arrows that the elven sentinels fired were blocked by the golden barrier covering the area. The elven sentinels did not give up as they fired a barrage of arrows attempting to break whatever barrier Levin Cloud used. Though Sanctuary is a great protection skill, it has its downsides of a long cooldown and short duration because invincibility spells and abilities are a trump card to say the least.

The barrage of elemental arrows did not end even if the elven sentinels deemed their attacks useless due to the special barrier that Levin cloud erected. They did not just hurl elemental arrows at them but also spells like Fireball, Water Sphere and such.

The duration of Sanctuary finally ended and the golden zone finally disappeared. Sirius used his shadows to deflect some of the incoming attacks while Kanlaon used his breath to disrupt the attacks of the elven sentinels. The elven sentinels had to split up in order to dodge the breath attack from Kanlaon.

"We shall now go into the offensive. Sirius and Kanlaon do your best and we will provide support." Levin Cloud stated as he got ready to use any crowd control skill when the elven sentinels get near them.

Mortem is still afraid of taking the hand of the stranger's hand.

"What if he tricks me like the ones who took my sister? What if he kills me and thereby harming my sister?" These are some of the thoughts that the little boy on his mind as he started at the stranger in front of him.

Despite being born as a human, Mortem did not truly fear Adrian's true form because he was not educated to fear demons. He was just basically afraid of everyone due to the continued isolation that he has endured. The only reason that kept him going is the psychic link with his twin.

His twin sister, Vitae, did not take kindly of Mortem's isolation but she was told that by doing her duty then her brother would be able to be free. The twins had a plan that when Vitae reaches the age where she no longer needs a guardian then she will free her twin brother.

Both twins are enduring hardship, one endures the hardship of training while the other endures the hardship of isolation. They could only trust each other but someone appeared before one of them that offered salvation.

Mortem could see the hand of a stranger reaching out to him. A stranger that did not fear him for his unstable power because he can feel that this stranger is just like him. The stranger is like him but his being is death itself personified and Mortem felt comfort through that.

Mortem shrug all the hesitance and reached out towards the hand of the stranger in front of him. When Mortem finally laid his hand upon the stranger's hand, something strange happened. Their souls suddenly resonated with each other and bursts of light came out from Mortem's eyes and mouth.

Adrian suddenly reverted to his true form even without utilizing the Nether Domain skill. Levin Cloud suddenly felt something powerful coming from the prison. A large wave of death energy is released upon the area which made the elven sentinels use their life saving trinket.

The death energy spread towards half of the grove which made all the living beings inside turn lifeless. The elven sentinels suddenly received an order to regroup because of an emergency from their other end. The elven sentinels decided to retreat and report on the matter of the intruders.

The souls of the two are summoned to the divine plane where the twin gods reside. Mortem still looked like his ragged self because that is what he probably views himself as such while Adrian looked like his true form.

"Welcome to Paraiso, my prophet. It has been too long since I have seen you." The God of Death Abaddon stated while gazing towards Mortem but the little boy's attention was elsewhere.

"Sister!" Mortem stated as he saw a little girl with light green hair beside the Goddess of Life Gaea. The two siblings finally reunited albeit in their soul only.
