Omega Summoner

Chapter 2053: Worries of the Vermillion Bird



Adrian reached Vermillion Pagoda but was blocked by the guards there. He suddenly remembered that he still had his disguise on which is why he emanated the power given to him by the Vermilion Bird. The heart that was given to Adrian by the Vermilion Bird suddenly activated and a fiery aura suddenly came out of his body which made the guards bow down to him.

"Please lead me to the Vermillion Bird. Also, the kids will be coming with me." Adrian stated in a calm tone.

"As the master's friend wishes. A priestess will be escorting you." The guard stated as a priestess dressed in red clothes suddenly manifested in flames in front of Adrian.

"Greetings, Master Equinox. The master has been expecting you. I shall guide you to the top floor." The priestess stated.

"Thank you. Make sure to follow me." Adrian stated as he then told the kids to always stick close to him.

The way up the pagoda was naturally magical as well as there were more things that seemed to be upgraded compared to the last time that Adrian visited. He saw a platform levitate from floor to floor without the use of gears or lifts. The platform itself has been transformed into a magical platform using intricate spells and formations.

"The pagoda looks more magical and mystical compared to my last visit. It seems that things have been good here." Adrian commented.

"Thank you for the compliments, Master Equinox. The master made sure that the Vermillion Pagoda will not lose out to the residence of the other three Divine Beasts. Peace has returned to this land, but I think you know what happened next." The priestess stated as she suddenly had a heavy heart because they were finally achieving great peace.

"I guess the eastern continent also has problem with gods. They are very troublesome to deal with as they are very hardheaded individuals that only think of themselves." Adrian stated as he completely forgot that he is basically a representative of gods himself.

"We have arrived. Please enter the door." The priestess stated as she bowed and left.

The door that the priestess was gesturing towards was none other than an open door where a pocket dimension is located on the other side. He made sure to take the hands of the two children and enter the room. When all three of them entered, they saw a large bird made of heat and flames that emitted incredibly soothing energy. Adrian squinted his eyes and could see that the Vermillion Bird is a bit tired.

"Greetings, my friend." The Vermillion Bird stated as its powerful divine aura emanated in the room which prompted the two kids to kneel down in revelry.

"It is nice to see you again as well." Adrian replied.

"You seem to have taken in children. I did not think that you would be interested in fatherhood. Also, you are still in your polymorphed form and not your real one." The Vermillion Bird stated.

"Oh! I almost forgot. Also, these two kids are not my children. I just happened to come across them when some evil immortals wanted to catch them." Adrian stated as he undid the Polumorph.

The two kids glanced upwards to see what Adrian looked like and they were shocked. They could tell that the one that they are calling great master was actually not human. Still, they did not care since it was also human beings that destroyed their happiness. They knew that outer appearance does not determine if one has the heart of gold.

"I see that you have also encountered them. My heart is saddened that the eastern continent is now embroiled once again in turmoil. It is to the point that I cannot even let you summon my divine spark as I need all of it in my battle against that evil goddess should she come here again." The Vermillion Bird stated.

"You already fought her? Has she already gotten her strength back?" Adrian asked in shock as he did not expect that the Goddess Izanami already started fighting with one of the Four Divine Beasts.

"Yes, and she was strong, but her powers are not yet complete. I was able to repel her since she also split herself to attack the other divine beasts." The Vermillion Bird stated which shocked Adrian.

The Goddess Izanami was able to take on four of the divine beasts by herself. She might have lost the exchange, but it also meant that she was strong enough to rule the eastern continent. If she were to fight against one of the Divine Beasts, then she might have a chance of winning. This statement and the appearance of the Vermillion Bird made Adrian think of the disparity in strength between the goddess and him.

"Do not worry as she could not handle one of us. The Goddess Izanami would be attacked by all of us should she use her real body to attack us. I love to chat, but I know that you came here for a reason, my friend." The Vermillion Bird stated.

"I guess, I should tell you about the kids first." Adrian stated as he explained that the kids need a place to stay.

He also discussed that the little girl has talent for flames and could become a priestess of the Vermillion Bird. The Vermillion Bird tested the aptitude of the young girl and even it could not believe that she was beyond talented. Kenta became proud of his sister and Adrian suggested that Kenta be trained as a guard. This way, both of them will be able to live in the Vermillion Pagoda.

The Vermillion Bird accepted the request from Adrian as the latter was able to find a suitable priestess for it. The two young kids were escorted out of the top part of the pagod by a priestess as they needed to be sent to their new quarters and be given what their next duties

will be. Seeing that the two kids were already settled, Adrian finally asked what he needed to

know.
