Omega Summoner

Chapter 85 - Becoming A Greater Demon

Four different flames were circling an individual that has blue tinted skin and small horns. The individual surrounded by four different types of colored flame was Adrian. He is currently in shock because of what he has just felt when he observed the last flame. The gray colored flame was smaller than the blue and violet flames but was bigger than the green flame. When he looked inside its content, he felt pressure as if his soul was being strangled.

He once again checked each of the flames in order to see if he would get the same reaction from the three but the blue and violet flames did not illicit the same reaction. Adrian tried looking closely at the green flame and he felt a tingle. It was a slight reaction but it was there and it had the same pressure that the gray colored flame had.

Adrian focused even harder and he was able to feel it. When he focused so hard a system prompt appeared to tell him what he was doing.

[You are attempting to commune with the 'Green Energy of Life'. Do you wish to proceed? As the energy is lesser than what is required there is a chance of failure. Do you still wish to proceed? Failure to successfully commune with the energy will destroy the energy that has been built up and the host will have to accumulate this type of energy again.]

Adrian furrowed his brows because he was dumbfounded since he did not know if he should gamble his chance because if this energy was related to life energy that the Goddess of Life, Gaea, uses then would he not get overpowered healing abilities. It seems that he can choose which energy to commune with so he tried focusing on the other energies if he would get the same system prompt. He tried focusing on the blue flame that was floating near him and just like with the green flame there was a system prompt that appeared.

[You are attempting to commune with the "Temporal Energy of Origin". Do you wish to proceed? The energy that has been accumulated is in the acceptable levels and would give success. Do you still wish to proceed?]

"It seems that the bigger the flame the higher the chances for it to succeed. I should still look at the others even though I already have an idea on what they are." Adrian thought to himself.

[You are attempting to commune with the "Spatial Energy of Origin". Do you wish to proceed? The energy that has been accumulated is in the acceptable levels and would give success. Do you still wish to proceed?]

[You are attempting to commune with the "Gray Energy of Death". Do you wish to proceed? The energy that has been accumulated is in the acceptable levels but it would still not guarantee absolute success due to the nature of the energy. Do you still wish to proceed? Failure to successfully commune with the energy will destroy the energy that has been built up and the host will have to accumulate this type of energy again.]

Out of the four energies only the two flames, blue flame and violet flame, would give absolute success because time and space which is the basis of origin magic is the lifeblood of the Daemos race. The Daemos race sacrificed using elemental magic in order to wield the volatile Origin magic. Adrian decided to try and fuse the Temporal Energy of Origin and the Spatial Energy of Origin since the two came from the same source. He touched the blue flame with his left hand and the violet flame with his right hand. He did not expect to succeed or he did not know if his wild idea would give results but he was surprised. A system prompt appeared when he tried pushing the two flames together.

[You are not yet strong enough to fuse the two energies together. You must at the very least be a Greater Demon in order to attempt to do so. Failure to fuse the two energies will result in the destruction of the tow accumulated energies.]

Never in his wildest dreams did he thought that his idea would actually be feasible but it seems he underestimated the degree of freedom that is given in the game. He also tried fusing the two energies for life energy and death energy. He expected the same system prompt to appear but this one was much more different.

[You are not yet strong enough to fuse the two energies together. You must at the very least be a Greater Demon in order to attempt to do so. The two energies are compatible in nature but due to the large difference in accumulated energy, it is not possible to fuse. Failure to fuse the two energies will result in the destruction of the tow accumulated energies.]

Due to Adrian's curious nature, he now knows what is needed in order to fuse two different energies together. The energies must both be compatible and almost similar in accumulated amount. Adrian would try to attempt fusing the blue and violet flame when he comes back here in order to become an Arch Demon.

Adrian put fusing the energies in a corner of his mind because now he needs to choose whether to pick the green flame or gray flame. Both are a gamble because the two energies do not guarantee absolute success but one is better off than the other. Adrian weighed the pros and cons because he could try the green flame first and if he fails he could just try the gray flame. He then remembered the words of his greater demon that the energy from the God of Death was but a mere fraction of his power and it could wither away.

Adrian was also hesitant in trying the green flame because he is not sure if he could even regenerate the lost Green Energy of Life which is probably only here because of his title that was given by the Tree of Life and Death, Yewdrassil. Adrian had a headache because of his daring personality that challenges odds. He was still scared that it might backfire and leave him with nothing which is why he told himself that this is a very important choice. It was a choice between life and death. Literally.

"I cannot risk it this time because I do not know if I could regenerate it again. I should look at it like I am taking care of a sapling. I need to slowly and carefully cultivate it in order to enjoy the fruits of my own hard work. Which is why!" Adrian thought to himself as he eyed the gray flame.

Adrian steeled his resolve and made the decision to commune with the gray flame. He focused his intention on understanding the power of this gray flame and the previous system prompt appeared once again.

[You are attempting to commune with the "Gray Energy of Death". Do you wish to proceed? The energy that has been accumulated is in the acceptable levels but it would still not guarantee absolute success due to the nature of the energy. Do you still wish to proceed? Failure to successfully commune with the energy will destroy the energy that has been built up and the host will have to accumulate this type of energy again.]

"Yes. I wish to proceed." Adrian answered.

[Due the energy being comprised of different parts of the other energy from various realms of death, a higher comprehension of the energy will harness a more powerful version of the energy.]

The three flames or energies that Adrian did not pick vanished from his side and the gray flame hovered on top of his head. The flame then split into eight and formed an octagram. The flames then skittered and left a trail of fire before returning from their initial position. The eight flames drew a magic circle of unknown origins and when that was finished, Adrian felt gravity inside of the magic circle became heavy that he was forced to crouch.

[The magic circle of deep comprehension has been drawn. You can now try to comprehend the energy that you have chosen.]

[Current Comprehension rate: 0%. You must have to comprehend at least 70% in order to succeed and evolve.]

Adrian did not even bother reading the last system prompt because when he immediately meditated and tried to not mind the increased gravity. He focused all his mental fortitude in sensing the energies that were running wild in the magic circle. Adrian started to feel different types of energies but there was one thing that they all shared. The energies coming from these are filled with dread.

Adrian could feel his skin crawl just by accepting the energies in his core. The system prompts are also agreeing with what he is doing because it was rising by the second.

[Current Comprehension rate: 1%. You must have to comprehend at least 70% in order to succeed and evolve.]

[Current Comprehension rate: 2%. You must have to comprehend at least 70% in order to succeed and evolve.]

[Current Comprehension rate: 3%. You must have to comprehend at least 70% in order to succeed and evolve.]
