Omega Summoner

Chapter 461 - Stele Of Everlasting Time

"We do have someone who is a high-level priest in the Church of Light, but he is currently in the front lines. They are tasked to support the vanguards if I am not mistaken.

They attacked the fallen imperial capital when we started the dungeon earlier. If I could see what is happening in the outside world or even get messages, then we might have information on how they are faring." Anastacia stated as she tried to open the messaging function, but it is still disabled.

The dungeon prevented messages from the outside to reach them, but they can still contact each other inside.

"Should we search this area first? We do not know what is in here or they may be a secret stash of spell books or something. The one we fought is a warlock after all which means there is a good chance that he has spell books lying around." Alder suggested and everyone agreed.

They knew that the places of magic class NPCs usually have a hidden door or room to keep important stuff. Even though the items they got in this dungeon is already top tier, they still hope that there could be more. Even the magic circle did not appear for them to exit the dungeon which means there is a hidden exit.

Adrian did not join the search because the two relics in his hands started to glow. An unidentifiable sound could then be heard from all throughout the area. They could not find the source of the sound, but the two relics started to float in the air. The two relics can now be identified using his evil eye.

The two relics do not look grand despite them being mythical tier. If a normal person were to place them in a pile of antiques, then no one would know if they do not have any type of analyzing skill. The Sands of Time looked like a normal hourglass with old wood as its bases while the Sun Dias looked like a miniature sun dial made of bronze.

The two relics then glowed in a bronze light as they made a circular motion. The silhouettes of the two sphinxes then manifested mid-air as the relics circled around each other. Suddenly, the Sands of Time and Sun Dias clashed with each other and the silhouettes vanished.

A bright light filled the whole room, and everyone could see that there is only one relic floating in the air. The Sun Dias and the Sands of Time has combined to become something different. They became a different relic that is more powerful than both relics combined.

Restriction: Can only be used by the one acknowledged by the relic's guardian or the relic would be no more than a decoration.

The relic that is newly created became a stele or stone slab. The material that maked up the stele looked like ordinary stone, but the writings and illustrations glowed in a red violet light. The engravings on the stele themselves would make anyone who gaze upon them would be sucked in a powerful trance.

The Stele of Everlasting Time floated down, and it transformed into the guardian. The guardian is still a sphinx, but it looked like a godlike being. Even the mere presence of the sphinx brought immense pressure upon those inside the dungeon.

The sphinx now had a centaur like body with armor made of gold adorning it. It even had flowing robes while the wings are now more accentuated. The sphinx now had armguards as it now has the upper body of a man but the body of a lion. An ankh is even floating behind it giving the effect of a halo.

The sphinx now held a sphere that is longer than its gigantic body and is adorned with jewels. Adrian could not believe that the simple looking sphinx now became something like a final boss looking character. The sphinx' name also changed to a different one as it is not a normal sphinx.

------

NPC: Ultima Sphinx

Tier: Transcendent

Title: Relic Guardian, The Timeless Sphinx

Description: The ultimate form of the sphinx that is said to transcend time itself. It is not an aggressive being but rather helps those it deems worthy of help. It is also said to punish those who try and pervert the order of nature. It is said to be the guardian of a relic so powerful that the Ultima Sphinx has been given the power to ward off gods or goddesses.

"Champion Equinox! We are thankful for your assist in piecing us back together. You did not stop or feel the need to retreat despite the odds being stacked against you. For that reason, we will give you permission to use the power of our relic once.

Call upon the relic when you will need its power. The relic will stay in your heart until you are ready to summon its power. Remember that you can only use our power once as is any chance in life." The Ultima Sphinx stated, and everyone could hear that it spoke with two voices at the same time.

The Ultima Sphinx then vanished, and the Stele of Everlasting Time appeared before Adrian. Adrian managed to see the engravings on the stele and noticed that the image of a sphinx is carved on the stele. The stele then shot towards Adrian's heart as a Transcendent relic is very eye catching or its power signatures could be sensed by the gods.

"What was that!?" Mariposa exclaimed in shock because her soulbounds cowered when the Ultima Sphinx showed itself.

"Were those the sphinxes earlier? Did they just combine? Awesome!" Alder and Creepysoo both exclaimed simultaneously.

"Yeah! That is the new form of the sphinxes when they fused together or rather their real form when the true relic appeared. The two sphinxes are mainly just their forms when the two relics are split up. The thing that I wanted to learn is why is the Stele of Everlasting Time become two different relics?" Adrian stated as he pondered on the mystery.

"Maybe it was too powerful to be one entity, so the gods split it up. Even demigods cannot split a Transcendent relic apart. Even demigod blacksmiths have an astronomically low chance in creating a Transcendent tier weapon." Levin Cloud stated as he once again tried to search for the exit.

"What are relics?" Anastacia asked as she was curious. Adrian answered her because she already promised to help him gain information about Abelport once they are out of the dungeon. Even the other members of the Evergreen guild got shocked when they learned about relics.

"So…you mean the relics are like godlike items that can only be used once and dropped upon death? Ae those not broken? I mean the relic you obtained can basically reforge time." Mariposa stated in shock.

"There is a downside though as only the one acknowledged by the relic can use it. If others try to use it then it would just be a piece of stone or a normal item. Gaining one should be extremely difficult." Cersei added while Adrian silently excused himself to find the exit.

The Evergreen members started to praise him without end, and it became awkward just accepting the praises. Adrian wanted to find the exit fast as he could no longer take the eyes full of admiration.
