Omega Summoner

They reached the neck floor without injuries, but Adrian's mana pool is basically down to 16% due to the numerous times he used his low cooldown skills. The halfway mark for the previous floor became difficult as more than ten giant pea shooters would aim at them while twenty or so bird monsters will attack them.

Lycan, who was princess carried by Adrian, is currently on Kanlaon's back regretting his life choices of joining this adventure. He thought that it would be fun to join Adrian in the kingdom of the giants because his girlfriend wanted to also go there but he is now regretting his life decisions. Thankfully, he did not eat anything before climbing or else he would have been spewing rainbows by now.

Solstice is also unharmed but the same could not be said for Adrian's soulbounds that triggered the giant pea shooters and the kamikaze hawks. The upper half of the previous floor became difficult for Sirius to just dodge so he opted to use the shadows to flick the incoming pea projectiles which made him burn a lot of stamina.

Kanlaon also had bruises from some pea projectiles as not everything can be blocked by the elemental barrier. A combination of colliding kamikaze hawks and high-speed pea projectiles easily shattered his elemental barrier. Still, the pea projectiles were not enough to pierce his dragon scales as they relied on blunt force.

Adrian summoned Saena to heal the injuries that the two soulbounds occurred as their health dropped by a significant amount. Thankfully, the next floor seemed to be a safe zone, but it only had about a fifty-meter climb. This is what worries Adrian as he can feel a boss battle about to happen.

"Seriously! If they did not want people to climb this place, then they should have just made everything level 300." Lycan stated as he recovered from feeling sick.

"I think the reason for that is the giants being over level 250 or so. That is just a guess based on the description that the king has given me when we talked. He said that the giants are stronger than the royal guards by about half which means they are 1.5 times stronger than royal knights that ranged from level 150 to 180." Adrianr replied.

"What the heck! Does that mean they are basically on par with legendary NPCs in the current meta of the game? Even my father is only about level 295 or so and he is the Alpha of the werewolves." Lycan stated as he reacted with genuine shock.

"That is just a speculation, but the number of giants is not that many according to the records in the castle. Their count is only about 500 or so from the old records. I guess being strong is not always the best since there are costs for that like having few numbers." Adrian replied as the demons are also having the same trouble.

"We do not know much about giants so we can assume that their numbers doubled during that time as the record is a few hundreds of years old." Solstice stated.

"Anyways, we should think about that later. If we are all rested up, we should already head up as we might be against a boss monster this time. This spot seems to be a safe zone of some sort like a gate that is blocking the boss monster from attacking you." Adrian stated as they climbed towards the next floor.

Just as what Adrian expected, the next floor is indeed that of a boss fight, but he thought they would fight a flying monster of some sort. Instead, they are currently facing a giant mechanical monster called Hexadrom and smaller versions of it called Hexamini.

--------

Monster: Hexadrom (Boss Monster)

Level: 210

Health: 99%

Energy Level: 89.92%

Description: A mechanical marvel built by the giants to keep guard of their kingdom on the sky. It is said to use mana from the atmosphere in order to keep afloat and launch its beam attacks. It is made using secret mechanical techniques that even gnomes do not know how to emulate.

The core of this mechanical beast can power up a kingdom for ten years before running out of energy. It is said that the giants built this invention in order to shoot down angels that keep persecuting them after the Nephilims vanished from the realm.

--------

Monster: Hexamini

Level: 190

Health: 99%

Energy Level: 95.92%                                                Â

Description: A smaller version of the Hexadrom and is said to be more energy efficient compared to its bigger counterpart. The core of this mechanical beast is the same as that of the Hexadrom but smaller in size. Its core can power up a kingdom for one year before losing all energy. It has all the features of the Hexadrom but smaller in capability.

-------

There is current one Hexadrom and five Hexaminis flying in the air in a general pattern. It seems that the hexagonal prism mechanical beasts are following a specific flight path. They are currently not attacking Adrian's group because they are still chilling at the bottom part of this floor.

"What should we do? I cannot fight flying like you guys." Lycan asked as he can only rely on Kanlaon for flight capability.

"We only need to damage it enough so that it will retreat. The objective given to us is not to completely destroy it. Besides, if we destroyed that thing then the giants might think that we are hostile towards them. It is basically their guards that protect them from the angels. It would seem that the next floor is the start of the kingdom of the giants." Adrian stated as he looked at the notification that popped out.

[Reduce the energy level of the Hexadrom to 50% so that you can weaken the barrier towards the next floor.]

[Reduce the energy level of the Hexaminis to 60% so that you can weaken the barrier towards the next floor.]
