"Should I try my initial plan?" Adrian thought as he could see that ice shards are now mixed in the air current.
Adrian's first plan is to use Time Stop to literally stop time and burst all his way to the top. That was his initial plan, but he threw it out when he saw the height of the Savage Steep. Since he is now almost on the way to the top, he thought that he could go all the way to the top.
He wanted to use Teleportation, but it immediately failed as soon as he started casting it. As if the game developers are telling him to not cheat by using the very long-range movements spells. He could only rely on Time Stop but he knew noticed that higher tier spells have a higher chance to fail.
He pulled up the lucky item that he managed to create using his luck. The three items are basically talismans that can increase someone's luck. If such item is actually available in the real world, then it would be auctioned off in the highest price possible.
-----
Item: Lucky Talisman Created by Luck
Tier: Epic
Type: Consumable
Effect: Has a random chance of increasing luck based on the person's luck. It could also decrease a person's luck if their luck is really bad. This item is not affected by the user's luck stat if the user has one. The good luck is only active for the given duration but the bad luck is activated for about a hundred times the normal duration.
Duration: 10 minutes
Description: A talisman created by an unknown scribe with pure luck and no skill whatsoever. It seems that this talisman could increase the user's luck by a certain degree, but it could also decrease the user's luck by a large degree. Just hope that bad luck is not permanent.
-----
Adrian wanted to use this in the fight with the Wolf of Disaster, but he did not want to risk the chance of receiving bad luck. The item should give him a great chance to cast spells successfully if it increases his luck, but he will try the trial again if he ends up becoming cursed with bad luck.
If Adrian got cursed with bad luck, it would take him approximately 17 hours before the curse gets removed. He had read about people getting cursed with bad luck because they offended someone called Thirteen. They said that the curse given to them varied depending on the way they treated him.
More importantly, the things that happened to them when their luck was bad is the scariest thing. They said that more items dropped upon their death, or they will suddenly receive a critical hit from small insect monsters that would normally deal one damage. Some are even struck by lightning out of the blue despite the weather not being cloudy.
"I hope that it could just increase my luck. No…just a small increase will be very helpful." Adrian prayed as he activated the talisman.
The Lucky Talisman Created by Luck glowed and disintegrated into particles. The particles enveloped Adrian to which the elders of the aeromorphs also saw. They did not think that it is out of the rules in using items or treasures that one owns as long as they are the oe to activate it.
[You have used the Lucky Talisman Created by Luck.]
[You managed to avoid the curse of bad luck.]
[The God of Gambling has been impressed by your gamble. Luck Stat +1]
[Your luck has slightly increased for 10 minutes.]
Adrian became happy with the increase his luck despite it being a small chance. It seems that he is not the only one pleased as he saw the notification that the God of Gambling seemed to be impressed with him.
He is familiar with the God of Gambling because all the NPCs that worship him are either really rich or dirt poor. It is even a famous meme in the player community to pray to the God of Gambling when you use a random chest as he might increase your luck. Nevertheless, The God of Gambling does not have a name unlike other gods or rather his name is not known.
"Thank you for the increase in Luck stat. It might be small, but every little bit counts in this stage of the game." Adrian stated as he started to chant the short phrase for the spell that he is about to use.
"I am time incarnate. Time Stop!" Adrian chanted.
A wave of temporal energy swept across the land or rather The Wilde. The unique fact about other worlds is that their timeline is not connected to the timeline of the main world. Each independent world acts in different timelines which is why they are not synchronous when it comes to planetary functions.
Time froze for The Wilde and only Adrian could move in this world where everything is suspended. Adrian did not idle as the increase in luck definitely gave him a better chance in casting this skill. He did not feel the resistance that he felt when he used other magic spells.
Adrian immediately used every energy he has in his body and strengthened it for a limited time. The Primordial Essence and Nether Energy that he has became his buffs. He even cast Chrono Shift to make himself faster. He wanted to cross two thousand meters in the limited amount of time that he made for himself.
Adrian's wings became more tangible as it usually faded into nether mist every few seconds. The solidified wings became Adrian's chance to traverse the distance left for him to fly. With one flap of his wings, he immediately crossed a thousand meters.
He basically broke the speed of sound with one flap of his wings. Another flap and he finally reached the top. He is not perfectly fine as his wings could be seen extremely injured and also his body. It seems that his wings could not handle the immense power that flowed in it.
The ice shards also damaged him on the way which made his heath drop to critical levels. Some ice shards could be seen piercing his wings or other parts of his body, but he made it. Since Adrian reached the top of the Savage Steep, he immediately cancelled Time Stop even if the duration is not over.
He found out that he could decrease the cooldown time of certain skills if he stopped them early. It is a great way of utilizing long cooldown spells that have long durations. Since time has moved once more, two sonic booms are then heard by those near the trial site.
The ones who are currently observing the trial thought that thunder suddenly formed but realized that it is actually a sonic boom. Adrian generated it when he managed to break the speed of sound. The elders of the aeromorphs wanted to know how a demon could do such a thing as only the western overlord could do something incredible like that.
"It seems that he managed to rise to the occasion. I did not doubt him for a second since I learned of his presence in our territory. We should also follow him up to the summit." Scarlet stated as she transformed into her flight form.
Aermorphs have three forms unlike the terramorph beastkins. They have the two forms common to all beastkins which are the Humanoid forms and the Full Beast form. The last and third form that they have is called the flight form. The hydromorphs also have a similar form called marine form where only their lower half changes.
Scarlet and the elders' forms suddenly changed as they could be described as really half bird half man. Their arms transformed to that of wings and feathery tails also sprouted from their bottom. This form gives them great speed in air but disables them from using conventional weapons like swords and bows.
====
Adrian reached the peak of the Savage Steep but did not see the western overlord. He thought that he could catch a glimpse of the western overlord if he reached the top, but he is wrong. He believed Ashana's report that the western overlord rarely leaves the peak of Savage Steep because of the overlord's personality.
Adrian decided to heal his wounds with potions since he has nothing better to do. The elders did say that he should wait if he reached the top. Soon, the sound of wings flapping could be heard, and Adrian saw the people watching him below arrive. He also saw the half bird forms of the aeromorphs and their way of flying.
"Great job, Equinox. I know that you could do it." Scarlet stated as she congratulated Adrian with utmost glee.
Adrian suddenly thought that the atmosphere became strange because the elders of the aeromorphs suddenly have this respectful gaze directed not only to Adrian but also to Scarlet. She then proceeded to walk in front of Adrian and summoned a storm.
"Challenger Equinox. I, the Western Overlord, has heard your wish. As tradition of this trial, I will respect your wish. I will be with you in your fight against the Wolf of Disaster. Not only me but also ten of my finest warriors will be with you in this battle." Scarlet stated as all the elders of the aeromorph race bowed to her.
"The overlord's decree shall be fulfilled. We shall go prepare immediately." The elders bowed.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
