Omega Summoner

The party defeated the greater water elemental abominations with much ease compared to the earth elementals. The earth elemental abominations were hard hitters and sturdy while the water elemental abominations were quick and flexible.

The battle against them became easy when the duration of Soul Prison ended. The added help made the raid party easily dispose of the greater water elemental abominations, but the liquid level is still rising. The stomach acid level is now at the same level as their knees.

[You have leveled up.]

[All your soulbounds have leveled up.]

Adrian is looking at the system logs as he might have ignored a message that was important. He did not notice that Dodu is actually drinking some of the stomach acid as it floated on the it. The baby slime only stopped when Adrian picked it up.

Adrian did not know it was drinking because slimes do not eat like a traditional monster. The slimes whole body is basically its mouth as its core is the only thing solid in its body. The raid party journeyed farther into the tunnel until the stomach acid level is already waist high.

The health reduction is also bigger than it was before as 1% of their total health per second is reduced. The small ones were now riding Kanlaon in his dragon form while the party is buffed by Anastacia with a passive regeneration buff. The skill increased their regeneration by 200% for ten minutes with a cooldown of 15 minutes.

Saena would heal the party in that five-minute gap so that they will not lose health. Adrian would have wanted Saena to heal them all of the way but even his soulbound gets tired. Finally, they could feel wind blowing and that means that the exit is nearby.

They finally find the exit after walking for thirty minutes and the liquid level reaching until their chest. The exit is elevated so they managed to get out of the stomach liquid that is now like a river. A few moments later, the wind that blew out from the exit is soon followed by the stomach acid.

You could see the stomach acid flowing like a raging river. If they were late in finding the exit, then they would get swept up. It would then lead them to the other end which no one really wants.

"Let us go to the next area. We only have 5 hours left to reach the Mad Warlock." Anastacia stated. A system notification is then triggered when all of them entered the next area.

[Congratulations! You have succeeded in clearing the Emergency Quest 'Find the Exit'.]

[You have been given temporary Status Buff of 10% until the end of the dungeon. Additional 10 minutes in the countdown timer.]

"I am starting to get scared that we are getting too many buffs. It feels like we are going to fight a god or something. The only thing we are battling is the Mad Warlock, right?" Alder stated as he gulped. He did not have a good impression of the buffs that they received.

The way they are going is elevated like a slide but not the fun kind. They doubted what the emergency mission stated but some already have an idea. The emergency quest talked about not breathing so their next enemies should be the greater wind elemental abominations.

They stayed alert and observe the air around them if it changed but nothing happened even after 20 minutes. The area they traversed started to get more compact as they travelled farther. The muscly wall started to have something like warts stuck to them.

Adrian observed closely and saw that the warts are growing bigger until they pop. The warts that pop released a gaseous substance that poisoned anyone who inhales it like Kabrakan. With his sharp nose, the fumes made him the greatest poisoned person. He even raised his poison resistance after getting afflicted continuously.

"Does anyone have masks?" Adrian asked as there are items like masks sold in markets. Usually, the masks do not sell well unless one is an alchemist or those who do apothecary. Adrian believed that at least one of them should have that sub job class.

"I only have five." Anastacia stated.

Creepysoo did not needed a mask as well as the half elemental father and daughter duo. Anastacia did not also need it as her poison resistance was already at max. Levin Cloud did not need it as he was half death and lush, so poison does not work on him.

Adrian also rejected as his passive that can nullify status ailments are kicking in. The fumes do not reach him due to the passive skill attached to his Asmodian Battle Armor. Peridot also abstained as she does not get poisoned because of her resistances.

The raid party decided to give the masks to the tanks and archers. The others would just have to be treated by Saena. In other words, Saena would suck the poison out of them. That would have been a great solution, but Adrian noticed that Saena got weaker everytime she absorbed the poison.

"To even weaken Saena when she is a species that can take away any ailment! I just hope that the enemies that come to us will not be equipped with the same fumes." Adrian thought as they proceeded carefully.

Suddenly, they met a fork on the road. They needed to decide which path to take as one would lead to the heart. They were about to choose when a strong wind blew. They suddenly saw something like a humanoid shaped entity floating towards them.

Vayu and Soleil got chills in their spines and started to attack before the others could register what the opponent is.

"It is a descendant of an Elemental King!" Vayu stated as he blocked the sharp wind blade that aimed towards the healers.
