Chapter 354 - Origin Of Summoning Magic
Due to Pann coming towards him, Adrian could more or less guess what happened here. Pann was not the type to trouble himself with the job of other people unless he was somewhat involved.
"Bessy! Scare the cute little cat away please." Pann stated and a huge Cosmic Cetacea showed itself above the Paradox Planes.
Monster: Cosmic Liger
Level: 250
HP: ??? / ???
MP: ??? / ???
Description: A creature that looks like an enormous liger but share no common blood with actual ligers. It is born from the playful whim of the universe. Using its claws, the cosmic liger could tear a rift in time and space to hunt for its favorite food which is the Cosmie.
"Saying that a level 250 monster is cute would only be possible to that old man." Adrian muttered.
Bessy made a low toned pulse cry that seemed to threaten the Cosmic Liger as it roared in reply. The Cosmic Liger became rather timid once Bessy appeared and it became tense. It was now deciding to pursue its dinner or suffer the wrath of a higher order cosmic monster.
Cosmic monsters are very rare due to their nature. Pann told Adrian that they do not trust others easily as they are birthed by the universe, so they do not know the warmth of others. Adrian himself wanted a cosmic monster as a soulbound but Pann told him to dream smaller.
Pann said that it was more likely to be hit by lightning than to encounter a cosmic monster. The statement that Pann made about the chances of finding a cosmic monster made Adrian give up because the old man also stated that they are far more powerful than the current him.
Cosmic monsters are born from the energy of the universe thus some monsters are just their stand-alone entity. It also means that they are born powerful and, in an environment, where only those that can adapt survive. Outer Space is not as forgiving as anyone would think. Adrian knows that because Ascalor brought him there.
After a growl of indignation, the Cosmic Liger that has the fur reminiscent of a starry sky finally decided to leave. It swiped its claws at the air and a rift in space happened. The Cosmic Liger entered that rift and left without doing any damage as it knew it was outclassed.
"So Cosmic monsters really do have the starry sky body pattern." Adrian stated as he picked up the cowering Cosmie and handed it to Pann who happily received it.
"Thank you, brat. At least, you are useful for something." Pann stated while the guards were dumbfounded as the old man just left and headed back to his ranch.
"Are you not going to ask the old man for an explanation? I am pretty sure that he is the one that brought that Cosmie here." Adrian asked but not one guard acted interested.
"I am sorry to say this young man but the Old Man Pann really scares me. Us if we are going to be very specific. I am actually in awe that you could even have conversation with him without unconsciously bowing?" Th guard replied as they went back to report to Elder Bronx of what really happened.
"I better go and ask Pann about what is happening to Charon. A system prompt stated that his evolution has finished but the mischievous bugger cannot be summoned yet. The devs already replied that it is not bugged so that can only mean that I need to find an alternative solution." Adrian thought as he followe Pann to his ranch.

"So, what is the important thing that you want to ask me about? It better be worth my time as I need to find build a house for my new cutie right here." Pann stated as he tapped the head of the Cosmie.
"I really want to ask why you want to adopt that cute but danger magnet Cosmie but I have more pressing concerns. My undead soulbound cannot be summoned as it evolved inside the Soul Chamber." Adrian stated with defeat.
Pann did not ask anything but he peered into Adrian\'s very being which made the latter shudder. This was the first time that Adrian felt how powerful Pann really was. No wonder the Daemos Corps do not want to ask the old man.
"It seems to be in a state of hibernation due to not being able to digest the energy it ate properly. You would need to help it yourself and enter your Soul Chamber." Pann stated but that only made Adrian have more questions than answers.
"What do you mean help Charon by myself? Or enter my Soul Chamber? Is that even possible?" Adrian asked Pann as he is the closest thing to a Summoner NPC that he knows.
"Summoners of this age might not know it, but summoners back can access the special place called the Soul Chamber when the most powerful summoners were alive. Only summoners that are close to the peak could access it. With your strength now, you are more than enough to go there." Pan replied as he fed the Cosmie with moon rocks.
"So that means if I enter my Soul Chamber then I could help Charon? How do I do that anyway? What is the Soul Chamber exactly anyway?" Adrian reflexively asked.
"You should know this because your predecessor was the one who invented Summoning magic. Have you not ever wondered why Summoners could use Soul Arts that only those that can utilize energy from the death realm use?" Pann asked Adrian but the latter was more shocked by the new information.
"Your previous class Soul Summoner is the core reason how Summoning Magic came to be. Your predecessor mixed elements of Soul Arts and Spatial Magic and watered it down so even those that have no talent for arcane magic could use it.
The big downside is that their magic circuits in their bod will be dominated by summoning magic. This would mean that they could not master other magic to their pinnacle forms. You do not have that downside though because your body could already handle Origin Magic and you are the successor of the original summoning magic." Pann stated which blew Adrian\'s mind even more.
