Chapter 1214: Sun Shard V

”If you are to give us one carapace or horn then they can be traded with one Sun Shard.” The High Priestess Estet stated.

Sadiki could be seen rather dejected as their temple does not have any Sun Shards this year. They already used it up during the period of darkest nights. The period of darkest nights is when the days become shorter than the nights which is not good for the western continent.

The Distorted God Apophis grows stronger during the period of darkest nights which is why they use Sun Shards to light up the sky. The Sun Shards are believed to send a signal to the great Sun God Ra to return to the skies. This custom also solidifies the belief needed to strengthen the western gods against their fight with Apophis.

”If that is the case then can you prepare three Sun Shards.” Adrian stated as he casually took out two carapaces and two horns.

”You said three, but you brought out four.” The High Priestess Estet stated.

”The last one is my gift for protecting us from the other avatars that wanted to force their way through.” Adrian stated.

”I also helped against them. I supported her decision which is why a lot of them backed down.” Sadiki added to which the High Priestess Estet nodded when Adrian looked at her for confirmation.

”Then this is my gift to you as well.” Adrian stated as he brought out a horn from his inventory.

”Thank you. I will cherish this gift.” Sadiki stated as he bowed with gratitude.

”Please wait here. I shall get the three Sun Shards that you wanted.” The High Priest Estet stated as she took the two carapaces and two horns and headed for the treasury.

”So, tell me. Are the other western gods that hungry for divine energy?” Adrian asked Sadiki.

”Not the point of hungry for it but the other lesser gods are jealous that the Goddess Bastet became a greater god. They become more active in the continent, and some are going as missionaries to spread their religion. Those gods did not want to sacrifice their lives to protect the world when they could have.

The Goddess Bastet is only getting what she deserves as she risked getting erased from existence when she raised the world barrier. She should be the role model of other gods that only help their followers instead of every mortal being even if they do not believe in her.” Sadiki stated.

”I have returned! The elders were surprised that I wanted to take out three Sun Shards, but they easily got swayed when I showed the gifts that you brought. They said that they will even trade more if you have more of the monster parts for the Desert Sun Beetle.” The High Priestess Estet stated as with a smile as she brought three golden shards that could be mistaken for gold.

Adrian just smiled when the High Priestess Estet said this as he actually has more. He has ten sets for the monster parts plus the parts of the Desert Sun Pharoah Beetle which is more valuable. When Adrian did not respond that he does not have more, Sadiki and Estet questioned if he actually has more.

”I actually have eight more carapaces and seven more horns.” Adrian stated which made the two avatarʼs jaw drop.

They could not believe that Adrian defeated ten Desert Sun Beetles when they rarely group up. They are territorial creatures that hate the company of others even their own kind. The fact that he managed to defeat ten in a day is extreme luck on his end, but they would actually not think it is luck if they knew the whole story.

”Can I cross the Great Gorge?” Sadiki suddenly asked the High Priestess Estet.

”Why?” the High Priestess Estet asked.

”I shall kill Desert Sun Beetles for their shards!” Sadiki stated as he also wanted to increase the golden warriors in their temple.

”I actually do not need more. I only needed three more for this.” Adrian stated as he took out the broken core of the Desert Sun Pharoah Beetle.

Adrian placed the three Sun Shards on top of the broken core. The broken sun core suddenly glowed in a powerful burst of light that illuminated the garden area. Adrian thought that this meant that the core is fixed but suddenly frowned when he read the notification.

[Desert Sun Pharoah Beetle Sun Core (Broken) Durability has increased to 99%.]

”I am sure that three Sun Shards is all it needs to be fixed but why is it still broken?” Adrian muttered as three Sun Shards should have repaired the broken monster core.

”Is that? What I think it is?” The High Priestess Estet asked with an expression that looks like she is about to faint.

”Is that the core of a Desert Sun Pharoah Beetle?” Sadiki asked as even he could not believe that Adrian was able to encounter and defeat such an elusive creature.

The Desert Sun Pharoah Beetle is famed for its tough defense that can wear out any attackers. It also has the capability of continuously creating a barrier around its body when under sunlight. Adrian was able to defeat it because of Vitae and Mortem so it is not farfetched to say that he was carried in this fight. The saying that great supports really do win battles applies in this case.

”Yes. I am trying to fix it because I need Saena to eat this in order to evolve but it is still broken. What can I do to repair it.” Adrian stated as the Unknown Scarab from his inventory suddenly got transported outside.

The Unknown Scarab suddenly burrowed at the small crack that is left on the Desert Sun Pharoah Beetle Sun Core. The unknown scarab then fused with the Desert Sun Pharoah Beetle Sun Core which let out a power that is akin to a small sun. The clothes that the High Priestess Estet and Sadiki wore could be seen burning to ashes as they summoned their golden armors to protect them.
