Omega Summoner

Chapter 1444 The Snake Retreats

"Seeing that all of you have no more questions for me then you best be on your way if you want to get more points. By the flow of things, the army that the Shadow of Apophis has gathered will retreat." Adrian stated.

"Are you not going to help us return to our spots?" One of the guild masters asked.

"I would have but my mood suddenly soured, so you guys are on your own. Bye!" Adrian stated as he teleported away.

All of the players were left speechless because of Adrian's actions, and they could not even rant about it. They looked at each other in shame as they were all equally wanting to blame him. In the end, all of them just left the area and headed towards the areas where fighting is still occurring.

Cairo made use of lots of sand soldiers at his command as he came like a sandstorm to all the enemies. He tried searching for the specific miasma that the Shadow of Apophis radiates as it is just the inverse of the energy that the Sun God Ra has. To no avail, Cairo could not even detect a whiff of the energy as he suspected that the Shadow of Apophis made sure that it will not be detected in its vulnerable state.

The Goddess Bastet and her six heroes that were transformed into large feline monsters were still fighting the Venom Gland of Apophis. They suddenly noticed that the Venom Gland of Apophis freeze for a split second and started to release toxic fumes that also blocked vision. When the Venom Gland of Apophis became out of sight, it started its retreat as if it was running for its life.

The Venom Gland of Apophis did not even signal the retreat of its forces as it just directed all of them to keep fighting. If one is very keen in observing, then they would see a small black serpent attached to the body of the Venom Gland of Apophis. The Goddess Bastet wanted to follow the enemy, but the numerous monsters were still a problem.

The fighting continued until the sun rose, but the Shadow of Apophis successfully escaped. Even the Temple of Shesmu escaped with the Shadow of Apophis as they used some sort of special perfume that weakened anyone that smelled it. The Temple of Horus would have taken pursuit, but the monsters made them reassess their mission.

It took about three hours after sunrise when all the monsters were cleaned up. All the people were fatigued from fighting non-stop as some even lied down on the hot desert sun without a care in the world. As if the Sun God Ra is blessing them, the sun that day was not hot as it even felt comforting and warm but that is just the effect of a winning battle against the Shadow of Apophis.

[You have managed to drive away the Shadow of Apophis.]

[You have been awarded an Epic Tier Mystery Chest as a reward.]

[You will be awarded experience points based on the total contribution that you have garnered for this raid defense.]

All of the players cheered as they received an epic tier mystery chest as a compensation for their troubles. They even cheered louder that they received experience based on their contribution since some have been dying ever since they started getting points from attacking the Shadow of Apophis. All the ones that received contribution points before the Shadow of Apophis reached the Temple of Bastet are cheering.

The ones that only joined when the Shadow of Apophis was at the Temple of Bastet are now cursing their luck. The ones that acted early got compensated for a lot as they got more experience points in return for their bravery as compensation. The Goddess Bastet thanked everyone that helped in defending her temple which resulted in everyone getting a decent title.

The title might only be of rare tier, but it was a big thing to have when one is at a higher level. It becomes more difficult to level up when one is at a higher level which means titles that give percent increase in stats are very valuable. The reason that the title is only at rare tier is the fact that it was given to numerous players, but it would have a higher tier if the players were fewer in number.

[The Temple of Bastet has been successfully protected from the destruction of the Shadow of Apophis.]

[The other gods of the western continent are now thinking of ways to be the same as the Temple of Bastet.]

[The gods of the western continent that were standing on the sidelines are now starting to rethink their choices.]

[The Distorted God Apophis warns the western gods that it will devour them next if they are thinking of rebelling.]

[The Sun God Ra taunts the Distorted God Apophis that it is pitiful and a sore loser.]

[The western continent gods are shocked to see that the Sun God Ra has recovered much of its power.]

"Even the gods are shifting in their beliefs. As expected of those gods that were weak to begin with as they only rose to godhood at a later time. The others did really well in fetching the remaining sun stones as the Sun God Ra now has all ten. It will only be a matter of time before the Sun God Ra rises back to his divine realm." Adrian muttered as seven individuals appeared before him.

"Thank you! Champion of the Twin Gods for summoning us into the mortal realm. We were able to fight with our beloved goddess once again." One of the heroes stated.

Even though the summon duration for them ended long ago, the Goddess Bastet was the one that gave them energy that is just enough for them to materialize. The six heroes wanted to say their heartfelt thanks to Adrian as they were given such a great chance.

"You guys were bored in the divine realm of the Goddess Bastet, weren't you?" Adrian stated which made them create an awkward face.

"Do not worry about that because I know all about it. I am the Shepherd of Lost Souls and an Arbiter of the Dead. Do you think I do not know why those dead heroes keep sparring? They are relieving themselves of boredom as there is not much of a hobby when you are dead." Adrian added.

"I thank you for doing us such a big favor. We shall now return but feel free to call us whenever you are fighting with the Goddess Bastet as we will be great aids." One of the six heroes stated with such longing.

"Yes! We will be always there to answer your call whenever the Goddess Bastet is near." Another hero added.

"You guys really have been bored but my summoning is entirely random. The reason why you guys were called must be due to the fact that I was near the Temple of Bastet and the Goddess Bastet made the area her divine realm. It might have been coincidence, but I am glad that it achieved great results." Adrian stated in an honest fashion.

The six heroes returned back to the divine realm of the Goddess Bastet. The Goddess Bastet also thanked Adrian personally as she returned back as well. The High Priestess Estet passed out as her body was extremely tired and Adrian made sure to catch her.

"We have returned." Frey stated as she suddenly saw Adrian carrying the High Priestess Estet.

"I think we came back at the wrong time." Frey added.

"Wait! It is all a misunderstanding!" Adrian stated as he almost let the High Priestess Estet fall to the ground, but Dodu came in for the rescue. Adrian explained what really happened so that he will not be looked like he was taking advantage of someone.

"You do not need to explain as I was just playing a joke on you." Frey replied with a sweet and carefree smile.

Adrian suddenly felt something inside of him, but it was a feeling in his gut that he was not familiar with. Adrian just laughed it off with Frey as both of them bonded over the fight that just happened. It seems that both of them were now closer as a result of their continuous fights against other monsters that they encounter.
