Adrian entered the portal that led to Creepysoo’s location. He reappeared in a location that is surrounded by tall mountains that are prone to rock slides which is one of the reasons that makes this location dangerous. Only a handful of monsters live in Wayward Mountains due to the unpredictability of the mountain range.
Adrian summoned Sirius in order to track where Creepysoo is hiding. Creepysoo did say that he is taking shelter at a makeshift cave that he dug up because rockslides would sometimes happen. Creepysoo did say that it was not a great experience to be flattened by giant boulders falling from above.
Adrian walked carefully as Sirius led the way as he managed to pick up Creepysoo’s scent. In just about five minutes of running, the whole mountain Adrian and Sirius is in started shaking. Boulders suddenly started rolling down the mountain alarming Adrian.
Sirius suddenly swooped down between Adrian’s legs in order to carry the latter on his back. Adrian did not expect this sudden action so he did not balance himself properly when he rod Sirius. Adrian basically had a bumpy ride due to the sudden turns and jumps Sirius made in order to dodge the boulders.
Sirius entered deeper into the mountain as the rock slide is taking place. The rock slide had a total duration of five minutes. But for Adrian, the whole event took more than just five minutes like someone experiencing a calamity. When someone experiences a calamity, the whole event will feel that it took forever.
“Damn…I thought that the people in the forums were exaggerating about the rock slides here but if get hit by just one boulder then I would experience being flattened like a smash burger patty.” Adrian muttered to himself while he patted Sirius for doing a good job.
Sirius continued the treck to the area that Creepysoo is hiding and they did not encounter any monsters. Due to the sudden rock slide earlier, the monsters that live on this mountain should have taken shelter so Adrian did not encounter any. Adrian then received a message from Creepysoo as the boy wanted to know if Adrian is nearby.
Creepysoo: Are you already in the mountains, big brother?
Equinox: I am. Sirius and I are currently following your scent. Can you come outside of your hiding area so that we can easily find you?
Creepysoo: No problem. The rock slide just finished so it is safe to go outside.
Creepysoo walked out of the makeshift cave that he created and Adrian saw his silhouette in the distance. Sirius rushed towards Creepysoo’s location and they greeted each other. It seems Creepysoo likes hugging his friends because he always hugs the guy friends that he has even though he just met them.
“So where is Valar currently?” Adrian asked.
“Come with me. I know his location but there seems to be guards in the area.” Creepysoo stated as he gestured for Adrian to follow him.
Creepysoo led them to a cliff and he pointed to a cave at another mountain. Creepysoo suddenly ducked and even dragged Adrian with him because a unique looking golem came out of the cave. The golem had a body made of dirt but it does not look like a conventional golem. Its eyes are just a horizontal line with red light coming out from it.
The limbs of the golems are hulking and are the size of old trees. One would definitely agree that those golems are not normal. A monster akin to a mountain goat is just passing by the entrance of the cave but the golem suddenly grasp the monster. The golem then squeezed the monster like the monster is a squeeze toy.
The monster just exploded by the crushing grip of the golem. Adrian and Creepysoo both gulped at what they just witnessed. They do not want to know how that monster felt when the life is squeezed out of it.
“How are we going to get pass that?” Creepysoo inquired.
“I can only think of one thing.” Adrian replied.
“What is it?” Creepysoo asked.
“Do you have something like a spirit form? Something to make you invisible to the naked eye?” Adrian asked Creepysoo.
“Fa…The undead king told me that we have that form but I am still not powerful enough to learn it.” Creepysoo replied.
“I guess it is all up to me then.” Adrian stated as he cast Soul Form Transformation towards Creepysoo first. He waited for the cooldown to refresh before he cast it on himself.
“Are you sure this would work, big brother?” Creepysoo asked.
“Just stay quiet and we would be fine.” Adrian replied.
The two walked to the cliff connecting the two mountains. The two of them reached the entrance of the cave and saw one of the golems in the entrance. Adrian waved his hands in front of the golem’s face. He wanted to see if their soul form will not be seen through.
Seeing as the golems could not detect the group’s soul form, the group continued downwards into the cave. They encountered other golems around the way and also corpses of other monsters that looked like they were grounded to a paste. It seems the golems emptied this monster nest before occupying it.

“I guess the pain is not enough yet so maybe I should add another one.” Eldritch stated as he walked closer to Valar but a sudden explosion from the entrance of the room they are in caught him off guard which made him drop the seed. .
“I told you not to be too excited. Our cover might be blown.” A voice sounded.
“Sorry, big brother. It seems I got too carried away.” A different voice replied but Valar recognizes this voice.
“Prince Creepysoo!” Valar thought as his eyes suddenly widen.
Adrian and Creepysoo entered the room that Eldritch and Valar is currently in. Adrian quickly noticed what Eldritch is holding and immediately cracked a joke in order to decrease the heavy atmosphere that Eldritch is emanating.
“It seems like you two are busy. Do you guys need privacy?” Adrian jokingly said but he is already preparing spacemines all over the room.
“Valar!” Creepysoo shouted.
“My Prince! You must run. This person is no ordinary mage.” Valar shouted back.
“I see we have a wisecrack here with us. Do our guests want to introduce themselves?” Eldritch stated with a smile while his staff started gathering magic power.
Adrian did not reply but instead used Blink to close the distance between him and Eldritch. Without any ceremony, Adrian enlarged his demi-gauntlets and punched Eldritch in the face sending him flying to a wall.
