Omega Summoner

The black hole summoned using Adrian's Vortex skill sucked all of the crows. The sound of dying crows could be heard from the black hole. It did not take long for all of the crows to be sucked inside and killed.

The duration of Vortex ended and tons of black feathers were spit out when it ended. The black feathers started melding together and once again became like black flames. A magic circle started to materialize from the black flames and the real figure of the scarecrow can be seen.

Monster: Harrowing Scarecrown (Mini boss)

Level: 101

HP: 2,500,000 / 5,000,000

MP: 500,000 / 500,000

Description: A monster created from the deepest darkest fear of people who sneak out in fields at night. It is said that whoever sees this monster will be overtaken by fear so much so that they will be terrorized for days. It feeds on terror and fear in order to survive.

"I manage to get it down to fifty percent health with one skill. I guess the health on those crows are also considered its health but only fifty percent maximum of its total health." Adrian thought as he gazed at the real form of the harrowing scarecrow.

The scarecrow is now more menacing and looked more ghoulish in a way. The eyes and mouth now became sack holes with something like a tongue drooping out of the mouth. The clothes on the scarecrow became smeared with blood and more tattered.

The right hand of the scarecrow is holding a scythe used in harvesting crops while the left hand is now a pitchfork. The legs of the scarecrow is no longer a single stick but three pairs of shadowy legs. The scarecrow also does not stand upright as it crawls using its five limbs.

The harrowing scarecrow charged towards Adrian but it is greeted by a breath attack from Kanlaon that is composed of two opposing high temperatures. The harrowing scarecrow made a painful shriek as it is hit by Kanlaon's attack.

The harrowing scarecrow stood no chance of flames carrying hint of divinity. Adrian summoned his spear psyche armament as he wanted to test out its new skills for himself. The gloves that Adrian is wearing dematerialized and started becoming a spear.

The spear's appearance now resemble the other psyche armaments that Adrian has. It is no longer the boring normal looking spear that Adrian encountered in the tomb. Its blade shimmers in a silver light while the spear's shaft looks like the texture of Adrian's demi-gauntlets. At the other end of the sphere is an orb with something like a cat's eye.

There is also a pale blue fire burning just below the blade and it looks like fire generated by the skill Demon Fire. The spear is also 2.5 meters long that made it longer than Adrian's height. He got a full blown course on the spear thanks to Bronx' hellish training.

The harrowing scarecrow is still shrieking in pain due its body burning from the divinity present in the fire. Adrian twirled the spear while charging towards the harrowing scarecrow. This is one of the ways Bronx taught Adrian on how to move when holding a spear.

He is taught to move the spear in accordance to the shift in his body's center of gravity. He now knew that the twirling of the spear is not just about looking cool. He is basically taught that using a spear is something akin to dancing with a pole.

Adrian used Chrono Shift to make his charge speed faster and also to increase the weight to his piercing attack. Adrian felt like he hit a bunch of hay as he pierced the harrowing scarecrows body. It is a weird sensation as it has no rebound compared to tough muscles. He did not even feel any resistance.

Adrian continued doing this until the harrowing scarecrow turned into particles of light. The harrowing scarecrow had a unique death animation as it will fall into shambles once all its health is lost. Adrian now only had five minutes before he fails the emergency mission.

Adrian would have had an easier time if he activated the monsters inside the wheat field. He would have encountered the monsters called 'Black Eyed Children' but maybe Adrian dodged a bullet by not encountering them. He might accidentally activate his trauma because there is an event where a tractor would hit one of the 'Black Eyed Children'.

If Adrian faced the Black Eyed Children then he would have gotten trinkets that will greatly weaken the harrowing scarecrow. The harrowing scarecrow might not have the need to be summoned using a crow storm and he would have beaten the boss in under five minutes. He would have also gotten candies.

[You have received 100 candies.]

"No time left." Adrian stated as he held Charon and hopped into Kanlaon. He ordered Kanlaon to fly at full speed to the next area.

Kanlaon made use of its full speed and even used his fire elemental control to make something like thrusters in order to reach the next area in just three minutes. The next area they are in is a cemetery but it looks more like an abandoned and rotting cemetery. The tombstones are filled with overgrowth and cracks which indicates that the dead here are not taken care of.

[You have completed the sudden quest within the given time.]

[You have received extra 20 candies.]

*Sudden Quest Notification*

Help Them Find Peace

The spirits in this cemetery are restless and want to find peace. Find the corrupted banshee that is tormenting and holding the spirits hostage as she uses them for her corrupted magic. Find the totems she is using in order to keep the spirits trapped.

Remaining number of totems: (0/5)

Time Limit: None

Reward: 100 candies

Failure: -20 candies

Adrian is very much amazed by the concepts of abandoned cemeteries because the cemeteries in the modern world are quaint. Only those from wealthy families can afford a burial home because land price has skyrocketed. The cemeteries are also well maintained and cared for so something like the cemetery in his sight cannot happen.

Adrian managed his resolve and found clues to where the corrupted banshee is performing her rituals. This part of the dungeon is more on the search and destroy mechanic. He would hear whispers of some people like children and elderly.

Adrian did not pay attention to the whispers but the occasional sudden apparition would make him jump of fright. Adrian finally found one totem. The totem looks like a makeshift doll made of bones and discarded skin and feathers.

Item: Forbidden Totem

Durability: 100/100

Adrian pierced the totem with his spear and a wail of souls is heard when the item is destroyed. A sudden chill could be felt suddenly when Adrian destroyed the totem.

[The Corrupted Banshee has noticed that someone has destroyed her totem.]

[She will search for the one who desecrated her unholy grounds.]

"Kanlaon, use Polymorph to turn smaller. Charon do not stay too far away from me." Adrian commanded via their soul link.

Adrian decided to be discreet in finding the totems. He may not be able to defeat the banshee if he does not destroy the remaining four totems. This type of mechanic is very common in any type of game.

He now had to move stealthily as he might get the attention of the banshee. Just before he could move, a wail of a woman is suddenly heard. Adrian now know that the banshee is now active in searching for him. He does not want to experience what kind of terror that the banshee will inflict on him if he is caught.

Adrian moved in the maze like cemetery until he found another totem that is about twenty meters away from the one he just destroyed. He immediately destroyed it without hesitation. Another notification showed up when he destroyed the totem.

[The Corrupted Banshee has noticed that someone has destroyed her totem.]

[The Corrupted Banshee has sent out her dark hounds to aid in her search.]

"Every time I destroy a totem, she will increase the number of pursuers. I need to hurry." Adrian thought.

Adrian once again ran into another route that he has not been before. At the end of that route is a dead tree with something below it. Adrian ran towards the object and he found another totem in that location. He once again destroyed the totem and now he only needs two more before he completes his mission.

[The Corrupted Banshee has noticed that someone has destroyed her totem.]

[The Corrupted Banshee has sent out her dark bats to aid in her search.]

Adrian did not pay attention to the system notification as he just searched for the totems once again. He is suddenly blocked by a hound made of shadows. Adrian engaged immediately but the first thing the dark hound did is howl. Adrian cancelled his attack and instead jumped over the dark hound in order to run away.

It did not take long for another dark hound to follow Adrian but he did not engage and kept looking for the remaining totems. Adrian is burning his stamina at a fast pace due to continuously running. Fortunately, he found another totem at an empty tomb. He apologized to the dead there and unceremoniously broke the totem.

[The Corrupted Banshee has noticed that someone has destroyed her totem.]

[The Corrupted Banshee is now protecting her last totem.]

"Great!" Adrian said sarcastically.

Adrian now started his search for the Corrupted Banshee.
