Omega Summoner

Chapter 1328: The Looming Darkness Out West

Adrian immediately went to report to the elders as the sudden appearance of the Hell Gate might be something that all demons need to fix. He left the affairs of his guild to the other officers as he needs to be present for the convening of the elders. He is now an Arch Demon which is why his presence is also needed for decisions.

The three elders along with Adrian are now convening in the town hall. They used a pocket dimension so that they will be able to speak freely without fear of getting heard. All of them are discussing the next things that should be done but all of them have already reached a decision quickly.

”We shall not do anything to the Hell Gate because it does not pose any problem with the stability of the realm. We only deal with threats that are prominent and the Hell Gate is stable enough to not affect the stability of the realm.” Ascalor stated his stance.

”I also agree with that as they seem to have opened the Hell Gate with something powerful enough to make sure it does not affect space itself. It might be a good way to study that in order to see if we can reverse-engineer it to be useful for us.” Koronn stated as he was more curious about the thing that made the Hell Gate stable and not interfere with the barrier between realms.

”They are also not posing any threat against us since they are not aggressive against us. We will just need to prepare more since there might be more enemies in the future. I shall make sure that the Daemos Corps is the best there is.” Bronx stated as he also did not fear the devils as he already knows their stand.

”Since all you agree that we should observe for now, I will tend to more troublesome matters. It seems that the angels are becoming more aggressive lately. As you have seen when they suddenly attacked the barrier covering the territory. Should we counterattack?” Adrian asked as he cannot attack the whole Silver City by himself.

”You already taught them a lesson. We instead need you to check something out in the western continent. The space and time in the western continent seem to be troubling lately. We also received a message from the Temple of Bastet to investigate.” Ascalor stated as he gave Adrian the scroll containing the message.

”I already have some doubts on the western continent. I also collected all Vestige of the Sun God with me. I think it is time for me to meet with the representatives of the western gods once again.” Adrian stated as he already knew who he needs to talk to for the mission.

Adrian returned back after speaking with the elders. He went to the guild house as he already contacted the one that he needs for this mission. The Champion of the Sun God Cairo has successfully joined his guild and he needs him for this mission.

Cairo is the one that is very familiar with the western continent as he was based there. Adrian is actually impressed that Cairo managed to get to the central continent despite it being very far. Cairo is a bit nervous because he was suddenly called upon by their guild master.

”Sorry to keep you waiting. I just came from the meeting with the elders.” Adrian stated.

”I just got here as well as I have been hunting near the territory. The monsters and dungeons near the Avalon are vastly different from the ones in the western continent. I even learned a few things just by battling them.” Cairo replied with a rather nervous tone.

The monsters and dungeons near Avalon are indeed very different compared to other places. The monsters and dungeons are affected by the mana of the surrounding. This phenomenon made monsters and dungeons near Avalon transform in response to the mana that the Tree of Life and Death is emanating.

Monsters near Avalon are usually undead or flora which are useful for those that want either life or death energy in their team. There is also a very rare hybrid monster that has both, but they are very difficult to spot or tame.

There is even a very rare monster that is said to have the ability to use Blink which became an urban legend of Avalon. Adrian thinks that this might be a possibility as it might have been affected by the mana of the demons. This is one of the reasons why players wanted to see if that rumor is true because it might be a powerful monster.

”I need your help because I have a quest that is related to the western continent.” Adrian stated as he shared the quest with Cairo.

[You have shared the Investigate the Western Continent I with Cairo.]

[You can no longer share the quest with another player.]

”I think I have an idea for this mission. I have been going back and forth to the western continent due to me being the Champion of the Sun God. I have heard of the strange reports regarding the weather, but it is said to be near the region controlled by the Temple of Ammit.” Cairo stated as he remembered the place.

”Have there been anything strange happening there like time moving slowly or space seemingly getting distorted? The western continent is very difficult to cover even for the Daemos. We cannot see everything as the observers needed are not always stationary.” Adrian asked.

”From my knowledge, that place is very dodgy, but it was already dodgy to begin with. The place is not to my liking because it is basically a place that is lawless. All types of people are there to find shelter, but it is not only good people. A lot of shady things happen in that area that other champions or representatives do not peer into.” Cairo stated.

”If the Temple of Ammit is there, then there should be some type of governing body, right?” Adrian asked as the temples in the western continent are basically looked up to as authority since the ones representing it are vessels for their gods to descend upon.

”The Head of the Temple of Ammit is not necessarily a person that should be in charge though. She was the fiercest robber of the western continent which is why she is very infamous. The other vessels do not even want to interact with her because of her violent nature.” Cairo replied as even he stays away from that area.

”With you saying that then I should be worried. We need to investigate the area immediately. Snowing in the desert is not something that should happen. Let us just pray that the situation is just nasty rumors floating about.” Adrian stated.

Cairo then relayed the things that the Vessel of Ammit is known for. The crimes are a long list with thievery being the lowest and massacring refugees that angered her being at the very top. She was a loose cannon that can easily become a threat should she feel that she wants to kill you and smell blood.

”She also hates my guts because I saved some people from her bloodthirsty nature.” Cairo stated.

”So, are you ready?” Adrian asked with a smile.

”Can we not go? Or is there still a way for me to backout?” Cairo asked.

”The moment you agreed with getting the quest is the moment you have become destined to share my burden with me. We just need to investigate it as of now. It is basically a free level once we see the source of the supposed strange phenomenon.” Adrian stated to reassure Cairo.

”Before we go, can we go to the little boy that the God Seth has been pestering me about? He is very irritating in the ear as he could contact me every time I pop in and out of the western continent. He found the communication function in the Mandjet and he does not stop talking about it.” Cairo pleaded before going to the western continent.

”I also need to proceed with the request of the God Seth anyway. I already got all the Vestige of the Sun God and all we need is to verify if that boy really does possess the soul of the Sun God Ra.” Adrian stated.
