Adrian and the others logged in to see the news about the Shadow of Apophis. All of them gathered to the Temple of the Sun since it has already been decided as their gathering point in the western continent. Not all of the guild members gathered as only the guild officials need to talk to each other.
Their shadow troupe told them that the monsters at the western continent were now behaving differently. There were still small-scale attacks to each fortress, but it no longer happened every night. The small-scale attacks happened every other night, but reports of missing people have become more apparent.
Sudden missing people are not that different to the daily norm in the western continent but groups suddenly vanishing is different. Some even reported that monsters that are best at using stealth would kidnap people. There are no reports of these people being sold to slave traders and such which is why they are pronounced dead. The logical conclusion was that they have become food for these monsters.
"It might actually be related to the Shadow of Apophis. The last fight against it had lots of casualties for their side. The followers of Apophis also sacrifice every bit of their life as long as their fanaticism is answered. Find the traces of where these monsters take the missing people. Even if we have two weeks left before the Shadow of Apophis rises again, we could use this chance to kill it while its weak." Adrian stated as the shadow troupe led by Awraka dispersed.
"If none of you guys are busy then you could also aid them." Adrian added as he was speaking to all of the guild members via the guild chat.
Adrian made sure that all of the guild members could hear what was discussed even if they were not present. Some of the members that had nothing to do decided to aid the shadow troupe in looking for the missing people. Adrian did tell them that they could get a title if they save people who have been taken.
All the members even the guild officials that were not busy joined in on the investigation. If they find the location of the Shadow of Apophis while it is weakened, then they will have a great chance of killing it before it. Adrian is sure that some guilds are also looking into it, but they were not spreading information which means they also have the same objective as the Pantheon Guild.
"I have been too busy looking at Charon's changes that I forgot that I also have changes to myself." Adrian stated as he remembered that his armaments have leveled up.
Adrian went to a quiet room inside the Temple of the Sun and immediately delve into the Soul Chamber where all of his armaments are stored. Adrian looked at all of the armaments and they are now looking quite different than before and even more powerful than ever. What shocked Adrian the most is that each of his armaments have different skills compared to before.

The sword primordial armament now looks different than ever. Its blade now looks like a whole universe is inside of it. The motif also slightly changed a bit as it now has a more galactic theme to it but still kept some demonic elements in its design.
Adrian is happy that the skills are now more powerful than before. He gripped the sword, and he could feel that it was now lighter than before. Whenever he did a slicing motion, an afterimage of either nether energy or aether energy would follow behind it.
"I want to test it, but I must look at the next one." Adrian stated as he was not yet finished with his current assessment of the armaments.
Adrian wanted to immediately go into a field to test out the sword, but he must look at the other armaments. He decided that it would be better to test them all when he inspected all of them. He noticed that all of his armaments are lined up neatly and orderly which made it easy to inspect.
