Omega Summoner-Novel

All the leaders of the guild told their guild members to escape as they suddenly saw a powerful foe emerge. They would have continued to attack the Distorted God Apophis' Clone even though it was getting stronger by the second. They were also getting weaker by the second due to the curses as well.

The players had no choice but to use whatever means to escape. Some used their mounts as a getaway while some used movement skills. Some players even used the portal that was still up since Adrian has yet to close it.

Adrian did not mind the players using his portal since they were just thinking of saving themselves. He will ask them to pay a fee when they get to a safe location though. The players that used the portal are The Briar Rose guild members along with Frey and the Evergreen guild as they asked permission from Adrian to use it. There were also other players that joined in on the chaos as they did not want to get swallowed by the Distorted God Apophis' Clone.

The Distorted God Apophis' Clone roared as its body is healed to a certain percent and it charged towards Adrian and Levin Cloud. The two knew that they cannot do anything anymore which is why they dipped. Both of them entered the portal and reached the other side but the Distorted God Apophis' Clone is persistent.

"Close it!" Levin Cloud shouted as he saw the nose of the Distorted God Apophis' Clone pass through the portal.

Adrian forcibly closed the portal which took quite a great deal of concentration. The others were scared that the Distorted God Apophis' Clone would pass through which is why thy started to fire spells at the part that passed through. Adrian struggled even more but he eventually closed it with much difficulty.

"Close!" Adrian shouted with all of his being and he managed to close the portal.

The tongue and a small part of the head of the Distorted God Apophis' Clone got cut off cleanly. When the parts were cut off, they returned to being masses of flesh that Levin Cloud purified with holy magic. The masses of flesh became dust when it was hit by the holy magic as if it is their weakness.

Adrian coughed blood as he suddenly got feedback from forcibly closing the portal. He thought that it would be easy but the body of the Distorted God Apophis' Clone emitted some sort of special energy that messed with his spell. Adrian is still not assisted by the Cube of Paradox as it has yet to fully absorb the energy it has gotten.

"I thought I would really die from that. We even have some stragglers here in our secret base." Creepysoo stated as he looked at the players that entered the portal to escape.ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴovel(F)ɪre

"Where are we?" Frey asked as she is suddenly hit by the grand image of the Temple of the Sun God.

The humungous golden temple that is decorated with the likeness of the Sun God Ra greeted them. It was not the only thing that greeted them as sand soldiers suddenly appeared before the transported players to warn them. Cairo then arrived before them and asked what are the players doing in the Sun God Ra's territory.

"Guild Master Equinox, what should we do with them?" Cairo asked Adrian as he saw the players arriving via a portal but he knows that only the members of his guild should be able to use it.

"I just escorted them out of a tricky situation. We have a greater problem than them now. The Followers of Apophis have gathered to protect the Shadow of Apophis. It seems attacking them will not be as easy as we thought." Adrian replied.

"If you guys do not have anymore business with us then please make your way to the south. You will end up in the Temple of Bastet when you follow that direction." Levin Cloud stated as he knows that the people here might be friendly but they have helped them enough to escape.

"You still have yet to answer what the Valkyrie has said though, Guild Master Equinox." Cersei stated as she is also curious where she is.

"Just as Cairo told you, this place is the Temple of the Sun God Ra." Adrian replied.

"Is this the important mission that you are doing? Guarding the temple of the Sun God Ra? Or maybe, guarding the Sun God Ra himself?" Mariposa stated as she immediately knew what the Pantheon guild is up to in this area where there is only vast desert.

"I believe that we do not need to answer that question since you already have an answer that you can see for yourself. I hate to be a grouch but all of you cannot be here as this is sacred ground. The only reason that the sand soldiers are not attacking you is the fact that Cairo is not giving them instructions to." Adrian stated as he must let them know that they cannot be here.

The players that were not affiliated with either the Briar Rose guild or the Evergreen guild made their way and thanked Adrian for letting them escape. It seems that they received some news that some of their guild members died from getting chased down by monsters. The Distorted God Apophis' Clone seemed to have gone crazy when part of its face and tongue suddenly got cut.

"What about you guys?" Cairo asked as he faced the Briar Rose guild and the Evergreen guild.

"Can we help you in guarding the Sun God Ra?" Cersei suddenly asked and Mariposa suddenly gave her a thumbs up for her quick thinking.

"We would like that as well. Of course, Frey will be with us as well and I assure you that she will be a big help." The guild master of the Briar Rose guild stated as she suddenly pulled Frey close to her.

"Uhh...yes! It is the least that I could do for saving me." Frey suddenly added while she looked at Adrian and then blushed a little.

The guild leader of the Briar Rose guild suddenly noticed the small gestures of her friend and smiled. She knows that Frey never acts like that unless she is flustered and it seems that she has found the source. Nevertheless, she also knows that a good reward might come if they participated in protecting a god.

"What should we do?" Creepysoo suddenly whispered to Adrian, Levin Cloud and Cairo as they huddled together.

"Is it not better to accept? We know them... at least most of them." Levin Cloud suggested.

"We do not even know if they are fully our allies. Some of them might be spies that want to jump at the chance to destroy the Sun God Ra." Cairo stated.

"We can accept them for now as we are short handed because some of us are dealing with another dilemma. We can just station then on the outer most parts of the temple. You said that the monsters were acting strangely anyways. We might need more manpower for the investigation." Adrian stated.

Seeing that no one was rebuking his claim, Adrian nodded and faced the Briar Rose guild and the Evergreen guild. The two guilds were glad for the opportunity but they also know that the Pantheon Guild is still wary of them. They would need to prove to the Pantheon guild that they do not really mean any harm and want to help.

"Since all of you are eager to help, can you guys clean up the monsters that attacked this night? We already informed the others so they will not attack you guys if you swoop in." Cairo stated as he returned to his station.

When Cairo gave them the signal, the players went to their assigned location even though they just escaped from a fight. They might be tired and injured but they need to prove that they could be useful or else they would also need to leave. The two guilds want to prove that they are not a burden to the Pantheon guild.

Anastacia healed her team members back to full health while Levin Cloud assisted the Briar Rose guild as their main healer was killed. The two guilds did prove useful as they easily defeated the remaining monsters that tried to attack the Temple of the Sun. Cairo made sure to monitor everything that they do as he still does not fully trust them.

Meanwhile, Adrian went to Solstice as she was the one that reported that the monsters seem different today. When both of them met, Solstice told them that the monsters moved in a more strategic pattern this time as if someone with high intelligence was guiding them. She did feel the presence of a powerful monster but it vanished when the monster's numbers became half and they were back into a chaotic mess.
