Omega Summoner

Adrian followed Peridot to the Refining Room where her master, the Dragon Lady or Nuwa, is currently extracting the magic stone from its shell. The protective layer that the magic stone is also an important ingredient as it has great lightning resistance.

Adrian told Peridot that he could just give it to her as he does not even know how to process it. In exchange, she will give Adrian a rune stone when she gets a hold of one with an elemental attribute. Adrian wanted to complete the rune stone that is inserted in his armor.

"If rune stones are that easy to get then I would also have equipped it in my armor. Those things are extremely rare, and you can only either get them in events or really difficult missions." Peridot replied as she opened the main door that led to the room where her master is refining the magic stone.

Adrian is greeted with the sight of Nuwa floating in the air doing hand motions. With each graceful hand motion, she would chip a part of the shell that covered the magic stone carefully. Adrian could see the extreme concentration that Nuwa is using which meant that she is doing her best.

"Perfect timing. Help me with this as the elders are needed to convene on something urgent. I cannot extract the magic stone in a rush just by myself." Nuwa stated as she instructed Peridot on what to do.

The process that the two are doing is a delicate process that needs careful consideration as one mistake would make the magic stone go wild. This is one of the reasons why only professional miners are able to extract large magic stones with mediocre success rate. An amateur would easily break the magic stone and would make the mana inside it leak out into the atmosphere.

If the two of them are to make a mistake, then the supposed grade of the magic stone will drop by one. It would be fine if it is a pinnacle magic stone as it would degrade to a large magic stone, but the story would be different if it is a large magic stone by nature.

"Let the wind gem carry you while use the earth gem and water gem combined in order to take the pieces of the shell off. It is fine to do it in small strides as this is not a contest on who finishes up first. Using the fire gem, disintegrate the shell into dust to create magic powder." Nuwa instructed as she kept up with her work.

The master and apprentice duo looked like goddesses that are shaping the world using their magics. Even Adrian likened the process to an elegant folk dance that entices anyone who sees the performance. The way the shard of the shell becomes fine dust once it reaches the ground is a beautiful scenery that perfectly balances the concept of fragility.

This scene continued for an hour with Adrian just observing the process without one word. If there is one thing that Adrian learned when he grew up in an Asian household is that you must know when to speak or not speak at all. He is too enamored by the process that he did not even notice that an hour has passed.

When all of the shell has been shed, a whitish blue magic stone that crackled with intense lightning is left floating in the air. Before Adrian could even command Kimat to get ready, the mischievous lightning elemental cat suddenly jumped and ate the floating magic stone.

A look of pure satisfaction could be seen from the expression that Kimat showed. The worse thing that Adrian thought of is that he did not even find out the grade of the magic stone. Adrian almost used the Heimlich maneuver on Kimat but a system notification stopped him from doing so.

[Your soulbound Kimat has eaten something beneficial for its evolution. Three out of the four requirements are now complete. Do you want to view the progress?]

Adrian heaved a sigh of relief as whatever Kimat ate must be at least a large magic stone. He looked at the pre-requisites just to be sure that Kimat did indeed eat something equivalent to a large lightning magic stone.

Evolution Requiments for Thunderlight Tigris

1.      Achieve Level 50 (Done)

2.      Gather One Lightning Magic Stone (Large) (1/1)

3.      Feed the Lightning Magic Stone (Large) to Kimat (1/1)

4.      Kill enemies with the Metal Element that is +/- 5 levels from Kimat (0/10)

Adrian is glad that the evolution requirement is not strictly just for the large magic stone or else he would have to return to Mt. Thunder that is surely being monitored by the House of the Azure Dragon. He would definitely be chased and will not be able to mine a large magic stone properly if that happened.

"Did you happen to know the grade of the magic stone?" Adrian asked as he wanted to know if the two that processed the magic stone knew of its grade.

"I was not able to see the grade as I was too focused in getting rid of the shell. Also, magic stones are different from normal gems or metals as you need to appraise it closely. The mana that it has is preventing detection or appraisal magic to be used on it at a distance.

"Very good, my daughter. It seems that you have already memorized all the basic information relating to magic stones. You can now start in studying the next volume of the book that I have instructed you to." Nuwa stated as she is proud of her 'daughter', but Peridot has a tired smiling face when the former said that.

"Thank you, Master. What is the meeting about anyway that all the elders are needed to attend?" Peridot asked as she is curious since a meeting with all the elders of the House of Creation rarely happens.. They only meet when something serious has changed or happened in the eastern continent.
