------
[You soulbound, Saena, cannot be summoned for a whole day even if her resurrection counter goes to zero.]
[No external force can bring her back or revive your soulbound for the duration.]
Adrian admits that the cost is far too little compared to the effect. Although, he is sad that Saena would not be able to level up since she cannot be summoned again for a day. Adrian could once again summon Charon as the Lifeless Lord only needs one hour to regenerate.
All of Adrian's soulbound could be summoned in an hour after being defeated. Previously, the wait time was one hour and thirty minutes but that was when he was a Soul Summoner. Now that Adrian is an Eclipse Summoner, the wait time decreased by one hour.
Adrian wanted to use Rewind, but the last system notification hindered him. It seems that was put in place so that he cannot abuse the skill. The skill, Final Sacrifice, is too powerful when it comes to cleansing skills because it can cure all at the expense of the caster's life.
"Champion Equinox, you will find the Mad Warlock deeper. I must warn you that he managed to suck some of our essences out. We fear that he might be able to use that to manipulate time so be warned. I will hold my sibling here and revert him back so we can aid you. Hurry!" The sphinx stated.
"Can we trust it?" Anastacia asked Adrian as it questioned him.
"He was my guide when we went inside this labyrinth. What is the Mad Warlock doing?" Adrian asked.
"Even I do not know but he has been so jolly when he captured me. He said that he can finally transform himself into the pinnacle being. He also held a small vial that had an awful smell. It smelled like you but rotten." The sphinx stated which only made Adrian confused.
"Could it be a blood of a demon?" Adrian muttered.
"We do not have time. My skill is telling me that we must kill this Mad Warlock or else he kills us." Cersei stated. She got a message from her contracted devil god, Vepar, that a huge amount of power is being pulled to their current location.
"The mad warlock is below which means that entrance there leads to a hole. Let us hurry." Mariposa stated while he looked at the others.
The others also nodded as they knew they are wasting time. Even though they do not want to go in blind, there is not much information about Cristobal. They need to only trust themselves and do their best. They entered the hole and inside is a giant hole just like the sphinx said.
All of them descended with the aid of Kanlaon and Peridot. Kanlaon let half of those that cannot fly down while Peridot used a spell that an air funnel that slowed their descent. As they made their way down, an eerie pulsing red light could be seen from above.
All of them found an individual creating a magic spell. It was none other that the Mad Warlock Cristobal. It seems that he did not care for the untimely arrival of his 'guests'. In fact, the Mad Warlock seemed to relish the idea that he will have spectators for his momentous achievement.
[You have entered the Zone of Silence.]
[All spells or abilities in the area will be forcibly stripped down and turn into mana.]
"Crap." Everyone thought as it basically meant they could only swing their weapons.
"Welcome my visitors! Even though you were not invited, I will gladly keep your company for I finally made the greatest potion to transform me into the most perfect being. It will turn me into a being that will be equal to a god!" The Mad Warlock Cristobal shouted with horrifying glee.
"Let me ask all of you here! What is the most perfect being created by the gods that even the dark gods tremble before them?" The Mad Warlock asked their group, but none answered.
Adrian suddenly felt a chill as he could see where this is going. He also felt his blood boiling when he saw Cristobal. He thought it was just out of anger for the mad warlock, but it was not his demon side but his Asmodian side getting riled up.
"It seems that each of you has yet to know of the truth of the world. Why not ask your demon friend there? I am pretty sure that he is knowledgeable about the topic I am speaking off. I even tortured one of his kind to know about the origins of the originals." The Mad Warlock rambled on, but their group cannot move as they fell directly on a trap.
[You cannot move. Your mana is being drained by the magic circle.]
"You talk about the perfect being, but an ordinary man cannot ascend to become an Asmodian. It is not in your blood." Adrian replied in order to burst Cristobal's wishful thinking.
"Asmodian?" Everyone except those of the asmodian descendants started asking.
Equinox, Levin Cloud and Kabrakan already knew about Asmodians as they are descendants of this races after all. Among the three of them, only Adrian knows where they really come from. If Cristobal tortured a demon for this information, then he was given a somewhat false story.
"You are right, little demon. I could not become someone like you who was born with the blood, but I can transform myself to become something similar. My long life has been very helpful in pursuit of the greatest body as humans have limits after all.
The Asmodian races however do not. Descendants of a timeless race that cannot die of age. Even High Elves cannot live as long as you. I managed to get a sample of every asmodian blood in existence. The last one was a bit troublesome as dryads are difficult to get a hold of.
Thankfully, there was one dryad in the main world. That place was called Neo Alfheim. Ha! More like Fake Alfheim. All I needed to do was to aid in creating the poison. The other servants of the dark gods could do the rest." The Mad Warlock Cristobal stated with an evil grin.
The members of the Evergreen guild including Adrian and Levin cloud became fired up in anger. The reason that the efforts of all their guild members are wasted is because of the man before them. They did not care if the individual in front of them is code. They are all infuriated.
"We will have your head!" Anastacia stated with intense age even though she rarely lets her emotions consume her.
