Omega Summoner

Deep beneath the Thorny Pit, Cairo is looking for the faint source of sun energy that he is sensing. He did not even notice Sirius suddenly vanishing next to him as he was focusing. He could barely see down below the pit but he can summon a small light to illuminate the dark tunnel.

When Cairo lit up the place, he could see the fact that he was not even at the very bottom of the pit. He can even see the body of the Shadow of Apophis but he did not even bother attacking. He needs to prioritize finding the soul fragment of the Sun God Ra.

"Remember to not show that you have gained the Blessing of the Sun God Ra. I will also not use the skill that I received as we want to show the enemy that the Sun God Ra is not yet revived. The longer that the enemy does not know of this fact then the longer the Sun God Ra could recover his powers." Adrian stated earlier as a reminder to Cairo.

Cairo was about to use the new skill that he received but stopped as he needs to think of the future. He was not given a warning just because he must not use it. A world quest has appeared as well which means the sooner the Sun God Ra can recover his powers then the easier the world quest would be.

Cairo descended deeper into the Thorny Pit and he encountered some centipede monsters but he took care of them. It seems that the lower parts of the Thorny Pit are where the eggs of the monsters' hatch which means only weak centipede monsters are present. A few minutes later, Cairo could hear a weak voice calling out to him.

He then saw a glowing body in the distance that is not illuminated by his skill. He rushed to the area and found a heavily weakened and injured glowing golden falcon. The golden falcon managed to call out to Cairo as it could resonate with him.

"Child of the Sun! I am here." The golden falcon stated.

"I am here! I am so glad that I managed to find you." Cairo stated but he could see that the golden falcon's light is starting fade.

"I can no longer keep the seal of the Shadow of Apophis in check. If my light runs out then it means that the Shadow of Apophis can no longer be tied to this place. I have grown far too weak as the shadow has absorbed the fang. It must not be allowed to absorb the remaining parts of its body." The golden falcon stated.

"I can give you my sun energy." Cairo stated.

"You must not as you must deliver me to the main body as soon as possible. I know what you came here for as I also felt it but I did not act suspicious in front of the serpent. Remember what your goal is and make sure you safely return." The golden falcon stated as its light suddenly vanished.

When the golden falcon's light vanished, it suddenly turned into a mist like light that seeped into the token that the Sun God Ra has given Cairo. It seems that the Sun God Ra has already predicted the fate of its spirit fragment and just sent Cairo to fetch it. Cairo took the token and safely kept it inside his inventory as he started his climb.

"How am I going to climb up easily?" Cairo asked himself as he suddenly saw the body of the Shadow of Apophis rising to the top.

Cairo did not think of anything and just plunged his spear staff onto the body of the Shadow of Apophis. He wanted to hitch a ride to the surface since the black scaled serpent is also doing the same. The large body of the Shadow of Apophis is resurfacing at a quick pace, but he needed to hold on tight.

At the surface, all of Adrian's soulbounds could be seen heavily injured. He did not expect that the Shadow of Apophis is this difficult to handle. Even the Nether Energy that he infects it with can be easily supplemented by absorbing the life force of his soulbounds.

The fangs of the Shadow of Apophis could extract the life force of any being that it bites into. Kimat almost died due to the fact that he was bitten on the body. Even the nether energy that is coating Kimat cannot protect him from getting drained. The Fang of Apophis must be made of some sort of special material that it could extract life force as long as it is plunged into a living being's body.

Just when Adrian thought that it was already difficult, the Shadow of Apophis suddenly stopped in its tracks and laughed maniacally. Adrian also felt the surge of power that the Shadow of Apophis got which made him shudder. The increase in energy capacity of the Shadow of Apophis is shocking since as much as 50% is added.

"Finally that old bird has bit the dust! I can now freely move away from this dump and collect my remaining parts." The Shadow of Apophis stated as it no longer bothered with the group around it.

The Shadow of Apophis no longer needed to play with the beings around it as it can now freely move. It was just biding its time earlier since it was still sealed by the golden falcon but now it is not. The Shadow of Apophis immediately took out its whole body from the Thorny Pit as it can now do so.

"Retreat!" Adrian shouted as he no longer knows if he can keep the Shadow of Apophis at bay.

He also received a message from Cairo that he has completed his task. Adrian commanded all of his soulbounds to collect all the allies that are still alive in the battlefield before the whole body of the Shadow of Apophis emerges.
