Omega Summoner

The necklace that Zhong Donghai wore became ash upon getting hit by the Qilin's powerful attack. It seemed to be a lifesaving trinket that will be consumed if the holder is faced with mortal danger.

The fact that it immediately disintegrated with one attack meant that the attack could easily kill Zhong Donghai. The aides immediately came rushing as they fetched their young master from danger as the Qilin wanted to use a follow up attack to finish what it started.

One of the aides carried Zhong Donghai away from the reach of the Qilin. The others blocked the Qilin's attacks that are coated with lightning and fire attributes. Zhong Donghai fainted from the shock of the attack and the aides could only signal their retreat as their master is injured.

"Everyone will retreat. We will resume battle once the master is back to a fighting fit status. Those that do not obey will be treated as a traitor to the House of the Azure Dragon." One of the aides commanded as he brought Zhong Donghai inside of Mt. Thunder..

The soldiers immediately accepted the command with glee as they are already exhausted beyond belief. The do not know if it is actually a blessing that the Qilin managed to injure the young master, but they do not want to remain to find out.

They did not hear about a Qilin that could pull their enemies towards it, but they do not know much about Qilins in the eastern continent either way. Nobody really wrote a detailed compilation of a Qilin's special traits and characteristics.

Adrian could not believe that his sneaky attack worked out highly in their favor. He thought that they will lose more members in the process of protecting the young master but to actually make them retreat is a godsend.

"Your idea worked. Now, all we need to do is defeat it, but I doubt we can even do that." Peridot whispered as she knew that the Qilin woudld be a difficult battle.

The members of the House of the Azure Dragon all came inside back Mt. Thunder in order to recuperate as they fear that the Qilin might use its ability to pull people towards it if they are within vision of the beast.

They took all the precautions they need as Zhong Donghai does not look like he will wake up anytime soon. Being hit by a very powerful attack that shattered not only the barriers applied to one's body but also the lifesaving trinket is definitely not something experienced by sheltered individuals.

"They are finally gone." Peridot stated as she deactivated the Misty Veil as her mana is constantly being drained whenever she uses it.

"They really took a long time just to retreat. It seems that they set up some traps and detection spells on their way out, but the Qilin basically erased them with its elemental magic attack. To actually overload the spell itself is definitely amazing." Adrian muttered as he is amazed by the power of the Qilin.

The Qilin could actually see them even if they were hiding behind the effects of the Misty Veil which meant that it has great eyesight when it comes to magic of nature. Even Adrian found it hard to pierce through natural magic with his unique eyesight.

"Mistress, I believe that the Qilin already got our attention the moment we helped it." Saru stated as he could see that the Qilin's eyes moved to their specific location the moment Adrian cast a spell.

"For it to be able to do that meant that it has great intelligence and sharp senses. It means that it could sense hostile intent just by reading the flow of mana from the spell. We should change the way that we are going to face it." Adrian concluded based on the things that he has observed and from the observation of others.

The Qilin did not move from its location and just healed itself from the lightning strikes. Due to the effects of the Orb of the Azure Dragon no longer present in the area, the Qilin could now direct the natural lightning towards its body in order for it to heal.

The gaze of the Qilin did not leave the location of the group though. It is carefully observing Adrian's group as if it is curious on what they have come for. Since Adrian's group is not emitting killing intent nor attacked it the moment they saw it, the Qilin is also observing them curiously on what will they do.

"So…we are not going to attack it?" Peridot asked as Adrian told them to not think of any hostile thoughts against the Qilin.

"Even if we joined forces with Master Equinox' soulbounds, we would definitely have a difficult time my Mistress. We also cannot stay here for long as sounds of a loud battle will definitely make the soldiers of the House of the Azure Dragon suspect fighting going on in the area." Saru interjected as he feels that he would definitely die if he battled against the Qilin.

"Who needs to battle it when we could just talk to it calmly? Am I right, Mr. Qilin?" Adrian stated as the Qilin that did not speak suddenly spoke to them using the human language.

"Curious to see a demon in a mountain such as this. I thought demons no longer roam the world, but it seems that I have been trapped in this mountain for ages." The Qilin stated which shocked Peridot and Saru since beasts that could use human language are extremely rare.

"How about you become my friend's companion? In exchange, I will give you your freedom." Adrian stated which once again shocked Peridot.

"Why me? Do you not want a Qilin as a soulbound? It is an extremely rare and powerful beast after all." Peridot stated as she did not expect that Adrian wanted to give her a mount that is this powerful.

"Oh! I am investing in your future here, so you better pay up with lots of interest later." Adrian replied.
