Omega Summoner

Chapter 1381: The Sleeping Serpent Awakens I

The players did not stop raiding the Shadow of Apophis despite the initial defeat of the unified guilds. In fact, there were more and more players raiding the sleeping Shadow of Apophis as the days passed. This is true because more and more players were arriving at the western continent as they wanted to test their luck.

The fight against the Shadow of Apophis might be difficult but the experience points and the drops gained from the monsters outweigh the disadvantages. Adrian paid attention to each of the raid attempts that end in failure and made sure to take note. He could see that more and more followers of Apophis keep sacrificing themselves.

Adrian thought that there should not be many members of the Followers of Apophis. If the Shadow of Apophis sleeps each time it absorbs a fragment then there should be three more times. If they decrease the number of the Followers of Apophis now then they should have a much easier time in the future.

Adrian did not guess wrong as the Followers of Apophis are getting decreased each day but they were also offering up their souls to the Shadow of Apophis. With each soul the Shadow of Apophis gets, the Shadow of Apophis gets stronger but that is still better than getting supported by numerous followers.

It was not only Adrian that thought the same as the other intelligent members of the respective guilds thought like him. They were not trying to win the battle now but win the war later. They knew that they might sacrifice the early rewards, but they also knew that defeating the Shadow of Apophis will yield greater rewards.

”Today is the last day that the Shadow of Apophis will be asleep. Will we not participate?” Cairo asked.

”I want us to participate as well but did you not feel the eyes that are aiming at the Temple of the Sun? They were already here even if the sun was still up in the sky.” Adrian stated as he could feel that they were immensely surrounded.

”Thank goodness that you accepted the offer of the Briar Rose Guild and the Evergreen guild. If they were not here today then I might even say that we will lose because we cannot fight a horde of that size.” Solstice stated as she also looked in the distance.

When they said that they were immensely surrounded, they were not joking as the horde of monsters were just waiting for the night to bite. The sand dunes were not the thing that surrounded them anymore but it was monsters everywhere. There were even groups of the Followers of Apophis scattered within them.

”This will be a very long night. I should stretch now so that I will not pull a muscle later. I might become Blood Crazed later which is why I will leave the command of the guild to Levin Cloud. He will be better leading them than us as we will be in the front lines later, little brother.” Solstice stated as she started to brandish her blood swords.

”Ten minutes before the sun sets.” Adrian muttered to himself as he knew that he will need to start preparing as well.

”Primordial Armament: Mirror!” Adrian stated as his form changed.

Adrian has already used his Aether Domain and Aetheros True Form yesterday as the monsters were very aggressive. They were so aggressive that even the heals from their team members were almost rendered ineffective. Since that form is locked, Adrian has to punch harder to make sure that his team members will not be affected.

The three guilds decided to split the area into three even though the Pantheon Guild was lesser in numbers. What the Pantheon guild may lack in numbers is made up with their brute power as they are clearly the MVP for the past days. The two guilds might not like to admit it but the only reason that they can keep up with the Pantheon guild is that they are more in number.

The tension filled the air as the sun slowly sunk into the sands and it vanished in the sky. As soon as the sun descended, the monsters roared like crazed beasts and charged towards the Temple of the Sun. The anxiety of all of the players could be felt in the air as they could see a tidal wave of monsters coming towards them.

”Mirror Art: Refraction – Vortex!” Adrian stated as he fed the small star inside the mirror he has and each of them split into ten.

Adrian placed ten mirrors all around them which are the things that split the small volatile star. With a snap of Adrianʼs fingers, the small volatile star exploded and turned into black holes that sucked every living creature in its vicinity. Ten black holes could be seen appearing in all directions as the charging monster entered it.

The players already knew that Adrian will do something as he said that they should wait for his signal to attack. They did not know what that signal was but they now know as they could clearly see the signal he was trying to say. The monsters that charged forward wanted to stop but they cannot stop the momentum of the monsters behind them.

One by one increased to ten by ten per second as the monsters kept getting absorbed inside the black hole. Adrian smiled as he saw the notifications of some monsters dying while some getting injured inside the black holes. This was a specialty of the Mirror Primordial Armament as it could copy skills to ten at most.

The downside of the copying is that each spell will only be able to deal half the damage of the original spell. This might be a downside, but each spell added will basically be five times more powerful than the original if he hits everything. There were monsters that evaded the suction force of the black hole, but Adrian also has a solution for that.

”Mirror Art: Refraction – Quantum Cascade!” Adrian stated as each black hole has a singularity formed above it.

Adrian activated the singularities, and it pulled all monsters that passed through the black holes. The image of ferocious monsters being pulled inside of the black holes made all of the players that witnessed it see the power of a demon. The players from the other guilds know about demons but they never witnessed it this close.

”Damn! He could basically affect time and space. He is a cheat character. Life is so unfair sometimes.” One of the players from the Briar Rose guild commented.

They all agree that Adrian is really different compared to normal players as he could command an entire area as big as a dessert by himself. He was basically equal to an NPC known as the Archmagus of Dominatro as he is famed for laying waste to an entire area with spells of mass destruction.

”Attack!” Levin Cloud announced as they needed to start killing off monsters as the first line of defense has already been reached.

It was not just the Pantheon guild, the Briar Rose guild and the Evergreen guild fighting in this desert as the sand soldiers that the Sun God Ra created also started to fight. The defenses of the Temple of the Sun is also at full swing as an answer to the monsters that increased.

It was not just Adrianʼs group that is doing their best because the Followers of Apophis started to move as well. They started to pray once more but they were not sacrificing themselves right away as they strengthened the army. The continuous prayer of the Followers of Apophis made the monsters become more enraged as a disgusting aura loomed over them.

The miasma inside the monsters that surrounded the Temple of the Sun started to exponentially increase. The monsters filled with the miasma from the Distorted God Apophis started showing signs of mutating as they started to grow serpentine traits like scales or venom excretion. Some even fully transformed into serpent monster hybrids.

”Soul Recall!” Adrian stated as a door to the underworld is summoned.

The door is different as it was decorated with golden motifs and glyphs and also a golden scarab. Adrian did not know who he summoned but it seems that his luck has affected the summoning once again. The door to the underworld opened and a gigantic man appeared before him. It was none other than a fragment of the God of the Underworld, Osiris.

”You have called for me, Arbiter of the Damned. To what do I owe the pleasure of your call?” The God or rather an aspect of the God Osiris stated.

”My son, it is good to see you well.” The Sun God Ra suddenly stated as he saw the God Osiris being summoned.

”Father! It seems that news of your revival was true! I would want to hug you with my real body if it was possible but that might extinguish the life of our arbiter.” The God Osiris stated with a laugh.
