Omega Summoner

"They look and even smell like us." Kabrakan stated as he is the one with the best senses among them. His nose can even rival that of a blood hound despite being a bull beast man.

"They are just illusions as the real bodies are still the Faux Mana Caterpillar. Fascinating!" Adrian stated as his inner monster lover suddenly started to flare up.

"Enough of that. Has the tracking auras been successfully transferred to the little critters?" Levin Cloud asked as he wants to get to the Imperial City of Hinomoto as soon as possible.

"Yes. The tracking auras have been transferred completely to them but that must also mean we must hide ours while we are traversing the secret passageway. We must make sure that we have not caught up to them." Adrian stated as all of them nodded in response.

Almost of them were taught to hide their mana signatures except for Kabrakan. The Selvaggians are not really a race that is known for being discreet. They would rather brute force their way into the battle than secretly stalks their prey. Some of them are secretive but that is only a handful of their species and the bull clan is sadly not one of them.

"Here take this." Adrian stated as he passed a talisman towards Kabrakan.

==

Description: An epic grade talisman that is created by an up-and-coming scribe that is starting to get known in the world. He would have become more known if he focused more on his scribe duties as this talisman was made with the intent for it to be a higher grade. Although defective, this talisman is still very useful.

"Ignore the description. Just use it on yourself while we go inside the hidden passageway." Adrian stated as he is a bit embarrassed by the item description. He already knows that he failed in creating a legendary talisman but the game devs (Author's note: it is the AI generating the descriptions though) must be rubbing salt on his wounds with that description.

"Thanks!" Kabrakan stated as the hostess stood up from her seat and directed the four to come over to the other side of the room. The four copies or rather the four Faux Mana Caterpillar that ate their mana were left in the previous room. It seems that the four were not moving from their location as the body copy is only an illusion.

The other side of the luxurious room that they were in was rather plain and dull. The only thing that they could see were paper walls decorated with butterfly brush strokes. The hostess then did a small dance as if she was performing a prayer.

When the hostess danced, Adrian could feel that the room is filled with a sweet scent and mana swirled around as well. The butterfly paintings on the paper walls started to actually detach itself from the paper walls as if they are coming alive. All the painted butterflies then gathered towards the wall in front of them and created a large black butterfly painting.

When the large black butterfly painting was created, the paper wall itself started to dissolve. As the paper wall dissolved, a tunnel that leads to the outside could be seen. The four are in awe of this presentation as even Levin Cloud could feel that this tunnel was not there.

Levin Cloud could feel the surrounding nature and he knows that there was no tunnel there. Adrian is amazed because he could feel that there was a slight shift in space but it was very minor to the point that he would not feel it. If he was not looking attentively then he would have missed that shift.

"Secret information clans are really awesome!" Peridot muttered as the other nodded in agreement.

"We should totally install something equivalent to this." Kabrakan added.

"You guys already have pocket dimensions. You can edit the way you guys enter your own homes." Adrian stated as this feature was not impossible for the pocket dimension homes but it is pricey. The other three are shocked as they did not think that this was possible, but Adrian warned them that it would only be an aesthetic and have no real value.

"Please have a safe journey. This tunnel should take you at most an hour to traverse but it will lead you to a small shrine outside of Vermillion City. To make sure that your observers do not take notice of you successfully, I believe that you must traverse towards the imperial city for two hours after exiting this tunnel." The hostess stated as she gave a bow to the four.

"Thank you very much for the help." Adrian stated and the others thanked her as well.

"It is my pleasure to help the benefactor of the clan." The hostess stated as the paper wall started to return to its former state. The hole that they entered was no more as the last thing they saw was the smiling face of the hostess.

"Let us go." Adrian stated as all of them walked to the path that they were given. They talked on their way out to pass the time, but they were discussing what was happening on the western continent.

They could see that the western continent fights have become increasingly savage. The Shadow of Apophis and the players were clashing with each other every three hours as they attempted to slow the progression of the serpent towards the Temple of Bastet.

The players were doing great work though as they seem to have found a special artifact that could create a barrier. It managed to trap the Shadow of Apophis for three days.
