Omega Summoner
chapter-1334

After a few minutes of free falling to their deaths at least from Cairo's perspective, the city that is clad in a barrier to protect itself from the sand is now in full view. Cairo could not believe that they really did get teleported to the location, but he is still falling to his doom and Adrian looked quite calm when he looked at the latter's direction.

Cairo wanted to speak but the sudden air pressure made him unable to do so as he is still human. He is not like the other core guild members of the Pantheon guild that are literally inhuman. There is a reason why they could speak even if they are freely falling to their supposed deaths. The only way for Cairo to say that he is in trouble is the fact that he needs to squirm with every fiber of his being.

Adrian noticed that Cairo was doing motions that are odd and he thought that the latter was just happy to feel the air. Adrian smiled and gave him a thumbs up as he wanted to tell Cairo that he is doing a great job. Adrian remembered that his friends would cause a racket in mid-air which is why he praised Cairo for experimenting with flight.

Cairo suddenly had this doomed expression as he thought that he would really die from the sudden fall. He could only stop exerting his body and just let himself get carried away by gravity. He already resigned himself to his fate to die from falling.

"This is my fate. I have never tried death by falling from a vast height so this should be the same. I guess I should find a way to fly the next time that I go in a mission with the guild master. Goodbye cruel world!" Cairo stated as he shed a tear as he closed his eyes.

Just as Cairo thought that he would certainly die from the sudden fall, he noticed that there was no longer air pressure slamming him on the face. When he opened his eyes, he could see that his body is suspended in the air. He then looked towards Adrian and saw that the guild master spread his wings that looked like a cosmic sky.

"Are you okay? You can stand up now." Adrian stated as he used Gravity Manipulation to stop their descent.

One would think that Cairo's body would have become broken if a sudden halt to the free-falling force was done but that was overruled by arcane magic. Adrian not only used spatial magic to halt Cairo's fall, but he also used temporal magic to slow the effects of force which is also controlled in arcane magic. The next thing that Adrian did is to scan the surroundings as he noticed that they were already surrounded.

Adrian and Cairo landed at the front of the city where the Temple of Storms is located. He expected that the city is heavily protected, but he did not expect that the guards were actually hiding deep within the sands. They definitely took the whole sand thing to the next level as they were already one with the sands.

The city is not even being passed by merchants or any caravan, but Adrian saw fields inside the city. He could more or less determine that the city is self sufficient by using those. The God Seth is all about rising through adversity and the fact that they made this possible earned them great praise from him. A field in the most barren land called the desert is something almost impossible unless they are incredibly skilled.

"I am standing up." Cairo stated as he stood up from his funny position facing the sand below.

"I thought you liked lying down in front of sand even though you are not feeling it. I guess you love the western continent that much." Adrian teased Cairo as the latter stood up and readied his weapon.

Cairo immediately knew that they were surrounded when his feet touched the sand. He could detect the life energy from the ones buried in the sand. This is a skill that he gained when he became the Champion of the Sun God called Desert Ruler.

"Calm down. They are just observing us. If you start to attack, then they will be hostile." Adrian stated as he ignored the people surrounding them and floated towards the gate.

"Wow! This is the first time that I noticed but your feet are not touching the ground." Cairo stated as he was amazed.

"It is an effect of my cloak, but I only do it when we are not in battle." Adrian stated as he showed off his cloak.

"I want an item like that too!" Cairo replied as his eyes shined.

The two reached the gates of the city that is guarded by numerous warriors clad in gold armor. There were also Desert Jackals that serve as guard dogs. Just trying to go in front of the gate is already a bold move as the two are not even invited inside of the city.

"We can enter this city, right?" Adrian asked.

"Yeah! We just need to pay the fine of 5 gold coins." Cairo stated.

"Expensive!" Adrian replied as he thought that the city gate toll was on the high side.

"That is to be expected as this is what you really call a sanctuary in one of the harshest deserts." Cairo stated.

"Maybe I should also use a toll on Avalon?" Adrian muttered.

"A toll? But there is already one in place though?" Cairo stated as he reached out in his inventory for five gold to pay for the gate toll.

"There is no toll in Avalon though?! My sister is the one managing the territory finances when she has the time and she said that there is none." Adrian stated as he also paid five gold coins to the guard.

"If I remember correctly, the portals cost like one silver coin per activation as that is the only way to enter Avalon safely." Cairo stated as they entered the city.

"Eh?!" Adrian replied as he did not expect that was considered the toll fee.

"We entered in a legit manner but why are we still being watched like a hawk?" Cairo whispered as he thought that the prying eyes would go away once they pay the toll of the gate.

"We arrived here in an unconventional way. If someone arrived like falling from the sky and ended up being unharmed, will you not observe them when they enter your territory?" Adrian replied in a serious manner as he knows that feeling.

"I see. This is the first time that felt like I am a person of interest or so they say in spy movies." Cairo stated as he found the situation quite appealing.

"No need to worry about that because the person that we need to meet is already coming to us." Adrian stated as he could feel a powerful force heading towards them like a powerful sandstorm. He recognizes this energy, and he smiled as he would not need to cause a commotion to find him.

Sadiki was minding his own business and training as usual with the other temple guards when he detected foreign energy enter the city. He is connected to this city as the barrier is powered by an artifact that the God Seth has entrusted him with. As long as it is within the city, he could detect the energy signatures of those that enter it.

He cannot be mistaken of this energy signature albeit being quite faint. He knew it was arcane energy as only the Daemos possessed this unique energy signature. He then placed his hand on the ground and sent his mana all across the city. When he received the feedback of the mana signature, Sadiki smiled as he is no familiar of the one possessing this energy.

Without even warning the guards in training, Sadiki immediately propelled himself towards the location of the energy signature. Just as Sadiki was heading towards the energy signature, his patron god suddenly contacted him via an oracle and told him that he needs to meet with the Champion of the Twin Gods immediately.

Sadiki replied that the Champion of the Twin Gods is already inside the City of Storms. When the God Seth heard the reply, he immediately descended onto Sadiki's body. Sadiki, who was using his own mana to propel him forward, suddenly vanished into sand particles. The believers of the God Seth all bowed as they could feel that their patron god has descended into the world.
