Omega Summoner-Chapter 20 - Evolution Part 2

Adrian was wondering why it said possible evolutions. As far as he knows, evolution was possible for some species but it would just evolve without choices. Also, an evolution of a soulbound is influenced by the Summoner's auxiliary magic. He once read on the forums that a summoner who got fire magic as his secondary magic evolved his soulbound bird into a fire bird while a summoner who had wind magic evolved his soulbound bird into a higher bird species. He thought Sirius would probably evolve into an origin dog or something.

He doubled check the interface and it really did say to choose. The only possible explanation would be the strain element next to Sirius' name. He checked the possible evolution paths.

[GIANT DOG]

-A bigger and stronger version of the dog species.

[BLACK DOG]

-A spectral entity that is larger than a normal dog and often has large glowing eyes said to have power over shadows. Able to turn incorporeal to dodge physical attacks.

[DEMON WOLF]

- A special and extremely rare type of wolf species. Often created when a wolf is possessed by a demon. It exudes ferocity unlike any other wolf species. Able to use elemental magic.

True enough to Adrian's guess that something wolf related would be included in the evolution path. He now has a bit of idea or hypothesis that evolution could be influenced by a bloodline or strain. But would all monsters be like that or is there a possibility that the strain could be inserted on the creature. All this thoughts were put aside by Adrian for now as he now needs to choose Sirius's evolution path.

The evolution paths are a bit different since it deals with three aspects.The giant dog is cute but not that ideal for battle so that leaves two choices. The black dog is probably more of an assassin type of creature since it has mastery of the shadows and from the description. The black dog is also classified as a spectral entity which has a possibility of obtaining a skill that bypasses physical attacks. The demon wolf evolution is like a magic warrior which deals magic and physical damage.

"The only problem now is which one do I choose." Adrian muttered.

=======================

Meanwhile, in a dungeon that looks like an abandoned church. A party of five is seen fighting a an dungeon boss. This dungeon boss is a type of acolyte wearing a dark robe with blood red inscriptions that decorate it. The acolyte is adorned with accursed jewelries and tome with bones adorning it.

" Holy Grand Piercer" an archer shouted.

From his bow, a shining light was fired akin to a shooting star and pierced the acolyte piercing its heart. It then said its final word.

"This will not be be the last you sew of me, impure creatures. For when he rises, I will rise again serving him." the acolyte boss cursed as he turns into a decaying corpse then to dust.

"Well that was more difficult than I imagined" the archer exclaimed as he picked up the loot and the quest item that the Church of Light has told him to get.

Quest Item: Crown Fragment of the Undead King

Description: A fragment of the cursed crown of the Undead King. It exudes an aura that pollutes a living beings soul.

This archer was non-other than the current rank one player, Hou Yiwei. He was the one who unlocked the dragonkin race and currently has the 3rd Job Class War Dancer which is a hidden job class for the archer. His reported level is 93 but his actual level is actually 10 levels higher. The party accomplishing their objective for the instance dungeon has teleported out of it unaware that a dark shadow was lurking and saw what happened to the acolyte.

========================

Adrian finally made up his mind and chose the demon wolf evolution path for Sirius.

[Are you sure that you want the Demon Wolf evolution for your soulbound? Y/N]

Adrian accepted and then saw the summoning magic circle for Sirius shown itself and the runes that made up the magic circle changed into other symbols then changed color to a deep violet. Another magic circle was added inside the magic circle making a concentric magic circle. Sirius started shining then howled as he becomes bigger to the size of a dire wolf. His pupils then changed in color which was gold. He then had bracers placed in his foot. The bracers were made of gold with runic markings. Sirius' fur also grew longer adding a majestic charm to his whole new form. Adrian also heard multiple notifications popping up.

Evolution: Possible

Adrian's eyes bulged when he saw Sirius' stats. From his knowledge, this were not supposed to be the stats of a level 10 monster. Now Sirius is a 'Monster'. Sirius could probably defeat a Level 20 player with those stats. Once a soulbound monster reaches level 10, the game's system finally gives its stats corresponding to the monster. That was the reason why Sirius now has mana unlike last time where he could use skills without limit as long as they were not on cooldown. The reason being that reaching level 10 was the player's condition on passing the early phase of the game. At level 10, the player can now lose experience and items due to death. Players lose on average 10% to 50% of the experience points that they have upon death and if they are really unlucky they will also drop an item.

Another thing that made Adrian surprised is that evolution was once again possible for Sirius. This means that Sirius is actually a very rare monster. Usually a monster only evolves once and if lucky twice yet there were rumors that some monsters can evolve thrice which is also called their ultimate form. This was a speculation by players since soulstones came in different colors. At first they thought it was just a hoax until they compared a blue soul stone to a silver one which housed the same monster soul. The silver one could apparently evolve for a second time. Others tried finding a silver soulstone but was unfortunate to not find one. The players tried to ask Atlas Inc. but all they said that it was up to players to discover the universe that they have built.
