Omega Summoner

Chapter 1937 Trial of the Fae I

"I see that you are very enthusiastic in this quest, Champion Equinox. Where did my cute little demon go? You used to be so upbeat and cute when we first met." Elder Danaya stated as she treated Adrian like a grandchild since Elder Ascalor treats him like one as well.

"The cute child was battered and bruised by the reality of the world. Anyways, please tell me the trial." Adrian stated bluntly as he changed the topic to the trial.

"Teehee! I am not the one that will issue the trial to you. I am merely your messenger and your guide for the trial. The Tree of Life itself will give you the trial as you already know that they are alive." Elder Danaya stated as she casted a spell where Adrian and she were eaten by a large bud to be transported elsewhere.

When Adrian regained his vision and slightly smelled like roses, he found himself on top of the Tree of Life itself. At the very top of the Tree of Life, he saw the other elders of the Fae and also Levin Cloud. Levin Cloud was in a meditating position as if he is in a trance which is why Adrian did not bother him. It might be one of his trainings which is why he would not disturb his best friend when he is trying his best as well.

"Greetings, Elders of the Fae! Thank you for welcoming me." Adrian stated as he bowed to the other elders as it is customary to show respect to the Faekin or else they might pull a prank on you.

Others often say that the Imps of the Daemos Race are mischievous, but the Faekin are the epitome of troublemakers. The Faekin are a race that always want to have fun as they do not age past a point, and some even retain their childlike mind. Still, the Faekin are a race where promises are a binding vow. This is a reason why they are respected despite some having childish tendencies.

"Thank you for greeting us, Champion Equinox. The Mother Tree is waiting for you. Elder Danaya will lead you as we are in the process of training the Envoy of the Twin Gods." The Fairy King stated.

"Come with me, Champion Equinox." Elder Danaya stated as she led Adrian towards an entrance in the Tree of Life.

"Uhmm… is he fine? Levin Cloud… I mean." Adrian asked.

"If you are worried for your best friend then you should not be. He is currently undergoing training for the grand spell that you want to use. I do not even know why you both would want to cast such a spell as even we do not know if that spell is feasible. We only have the parts of the spell due to being entrusted with it, but no one has ever cast it before." Elder Danaya stated which made Adrian a bit nervous.

Using an untested spell is not a wise thing to do as there are a lot of things that might go wrong. They might only get a bit of backlash like being unable to handle mana for a day but then they could also destroy the fabric of time and space. Still, the Faekin are interested in what Adrian and Levin Cloud stated because they are also in a crisis right now.

"If it is untested, then why did the Elders of the Fae agree?" Adrian asked.

"I do not know if you can feel it, Champion Equinox. Alfheim is a dying world because it can no longer sustain our powers. It has been for the past hundred years which is also why I am frequently going back and forth to your elders. I was trying to find a way to restore this dying world back to its prime.

Seeing Ascalor was an added bonus, but the world can no longer give life to everything. Being a race that does not age is not something that bodes well for fragmented worlds like these. I think all of the Asmodian Descendants can also attest to this. They can feel their fragmented worlds slowly dying but the time limit should be a century or so." Elder Danaya stated.

"A century is like ten years to us beings that do not age. It might be long for humans but for us it is quite a short time. Even if the Tree of Life is planted, the world is still dying?" Adrian asked.

"The Mother Tree has done its best in keeping the world as it is. If the Mother Tree did not directly intervene then this world might have come to destruction much early on. It is also the reason why some of us cannot venture out of Alfheim since we are helping the mother three. Especially for us Leshies and Dryads that are rooted in this world, we cannot easily move our trees." Elder Danaya stated as they finally arrived at a pocket dimension when they descended after a few steps.

Adrian was about to ask Elder Danaya if he could help with anything, but he sensed the change in dimension. They were still in Alfheim, but Adrian can feel his surroundings being different. He entered a pocket dimension created by the Tree of Life planted in Alfheim.

[You are in the presence of the Essence of the Tree of Life in Alfheim.]

[You are affiliated with the Twin Gods. All stats increase by 20% in the presence of the Essence of the Tree of Life.]

"Greetings Champion Equinox." The Essence of the Tree of Life stated as she took on the appearance of a dryad that looks old which should not be possible as all dryads are supposed to look young and beautiful.

"I greet the World Tree." Adrian stated.

"You are much better in terms of respect compared to the previous champions that the Twin Gods selected. I know what you are here for, and I also want to help you, but I must first judge you to be worthy." The Essence of the World Tree stated.
