Omega Summoner

Adrian did not mind the sudden worship that Kanlaon was getting because he knows that his dragon has gotten the Divinity stat just like him. It is also the reason why some of the people that already revere dragons suddenly would want to worship him. Adrian just let it be because his Divinity Stat will also increase if Kanlaon's Divinity Stat increases every ten points.

The Palace of the Azure Dragon was different than what Adrian had imagined. He thought that it would be an actual palace, but it was actually a tall spire. The spire itself was a bit black in color as it would act as a lightning rod for the continuous lightning that the dark clouds above it keeps pushing out.

Adrian has already been briefed about the manners inside of the Palace of the Azure Dragon. He was also given advise by the Vermillion Bird about the personality of the Azure Dragon. He was told that the Azure Dragon might look calm and benevolent, but he was actually the easiest to anger among all four divine beasts.

The Vermillion Bird even told him that the Azure Dragon would flood areas for ten days and ten nights if he has a grudge. It was also not just the Azure Dragon in the Palace of the Azure Dragon as there are a lot of servants inside of it as well. Most of the highest positioned servants of the Azure Dragon are actually Flood Dragons.

Adrian even got some secret information from the Vermillion Bird on why there are flood dragons in the abode of the Azure Dragon. Each of the four divine beasts could actually create monsters that have the same skill set of them but lower. The Azure Dragon can create Flood Dragons as he has control over rain and storm.

The Vermillion Bird could create phoenixes as she has command over eternity and flame. The phoenix' ability to resurrect from flames actually comes from the ability of the Vermillion Bird to be eternal and everlasting. It has been debated by the players if the Vermillion Bird was a phoenix, but they might lose their minds if they were to know that the phoenix is just a bootleg Vermillion Bird.'

The White Tiger of the West could create monsters called White Fang that has the ability of the wind. The White Tiger of the West can ward and fend off evil spirits which in turn manifested the ability of White Fangs to deal spiritual damage using the wind. The creations of the White Tiger are rarely seen in the world and is said to be the most sought-after companion of Onmyojis.

The Black Tortoise of the North could create the Dragon Turtles as he has command over death and water. The Dragon Turtles created by the Black Tortoise are different since they could swim in the air and have large bodies that they are said to have carried civilization behind their backs. Adrian thought of Wisteria when it came to Dragon Turtles, but she has yet to surpass five meters in height.

Since the Palace of the Azure Dragon is basically flooded by Flood Dragons, they were all wary ever since they have perceived Kanlaon's presence. The Flood Dragons actually wanted to play a prank on Adrian and Hajime since they boldly declared to get the Lodestone Heart from their master, but Kanlaon's presence threw them off. If they treat the Azure Dragon as their master, then Kanlaon had the presence of a dragon emperor which warranted just as much respect.

Hajime thought that something might happen as he knew that the Flood Dragons were telling him that he will never be welcomed again but he was glad that it was peaceful. He entered the door to the next floor but saw Adrian and Kanlaon standing near it and looking up in the ceiling.

"Is there something wrong, Benefactor Equinox?" Hajime asked as Adrian and Kanlaon stopped their march.

"It is nice to finally meet the Azure Dragon of the East." Adrian stated as he bowed slightly to show some respect.

Hajime and the others thought that Adrian was seeing things as even the Flood dragons were confused. What they did not know is that the Adrian already felt someone staring at him as soon as they arrived. He thought that it might be the flood dragons, but the staring did not stop even if Kanlaon got all the attention from the flood dragons.

"Interesting. Suzaku did say that you are interesting." A deep voice resounded on the first floor of the spire.

As soon as the flood dragons heard the voice, all of them immediately prostrated themselves. The flood dragons knew who the owner of this voice as this the voice of their creator and master is. Hajime immediately went down to kneel as well since the Azure Dragon is still his superior that protected the east land of the eastern continent.

"You have passed the test, Champion Equinox. Meet me directly at the top of the spire along with Hajime and your dragon." The Azure Dragon stated as its presence suddenly vanished from the first floor.

Adrian and Kanlaon were the only ones that were able to see the form of the Azure Dragon. It was only the two of them that could see through the mist and lies. Just like the color in its name, the Azure Dragon has azure scales, but its body is actually almost made entirely of water vapor. Adrian was not able to know if it was water vapor or clouds, but its body is almost transparent.

"I guess I will see it in much more detail if I go to the highest point." Adrian stated as light suddenly flooded the whole room.

Lightning suddenly flooded the room, but the flood dragons did not panic as if this was a normal occurrence. Hajime and his soldiers were shocked and ducked as they thought that they would be hit by the lightning. Adrian would have hidden for cover as well if Kanlaon was not by his side and giving him the details.

The lightning that hit did not blast the people inside of the room, but it traveled through the walls. The lightning then reached the door arch and filled it with immense magic. The lightning that came down on the room was not natural as it was the doing of the Azure Dragon. The lightning electrified the perimeter of the door until a magical gate appeared in front of them.

"A shortcut." Adrian stated as he could feel that space was shuffled inside that door. It is the same feeling that he has when a dungeon entrance is nearby.

"Do we have to pass through that?" Hajime asked as he could see that the magic inside the door was pure lightning crackling about as just passing through will kill him via electrocution.

"It is just a door. It will not kill you… I think." Adrian stated as he started to walk towards it, but Hajime suddenly stopped him.

"Are you sure? I do not want to leave my child fatherless." Hajime stated.

"I am sure. Plus, if the Azure Dragon wanted to kill us then he would have done so as soon as we entered the palace. He was casually hanging out on top of the ceiling when we arrived." Adrian stated as he took Hajime's hand.

"I see. Thank you, Champion Equinox. I knew that you would guide me and protect me when we pass through the gate." Hajime stated but that was not what Adrian planned.

Adrian placed Hajime in front of the gate and then twisted space behind him to push the nervous general. Hajime felt a powerful force suddenly push him forward which directly sent him to the door made of lightning. One could say that a high-

pitched scream came out of the proud general, but he would say that you were just hearing things if you tell that to him.

"Since only the three of us were invited, I think all of you are dismissed for now. Please handle their refreshment as their leader is a distinguished guest of your master." Adrian stated towards the Flood Dragons.

The flood dragons do not want to be bossed around but they cannot refute the words of the master's guest. In fact, if Adrian did not say anything then they would be kicked out of the palace as they wait for their general. Adrian knows how to navigate this social interaction thanks to Peridot giving him tips to navigate the upper echelon of the eastern continent.

Adrian entered the lightning gate along with Kanlaon and their vision was filled with a bright light. When their vision returned to normal, they were in a place where a small pond and beautiful trees were planted. The place also did not have a ceiling above as clear skies and sunrays were all that they could see. The most notable thing that Adrian saw is a being that has blue hair and white eyes who also emitted almost unlimited power.
