Omega Summoner
chapter-1442

"Shadow Bindings!" The Shadow of Apophis casted as it dove its huge body into the shadows.

A powerful shockwave of shadow energy suddenly enveloped the area where Adrian and the players are located. The area is bathe in a black shadow that stretched in a wide area. The wide shadow attached itself to the bodies of the players and rooted them in place.

[You are afflicted with Shadow Binding (Legendary). You are rooted in place for five seconds.]

[You were not stunned due to you resisting the stun.]

Some of the players were stunned while Adrian was just rooted in place due to not being able to resist everything. The good thing is that the legendary spell is not dealing damage to them, but the status ailment is difficult to resist. The others were afflicted with the stun and the root for ten and fifteen seconds respectively which means Adrian is still on the lucky side.

"Shadow Devourer!" The Shadow of Apophis shouted as numerous black snakes rose up from the shadows.

The shadow snakes were a smaller copy of the Shadow of Apophis and each of then started to bite and strangle the players. The snakes become bigger and bigger as time passed, and they were now able to swallow the player's appendages in just five seconds. Adrian is currently gigantic which is why the shadow snakes could not swallow any of his appendages.

"I shall personally deal with you." The Shadow of Apophis stated as it rose from the shadow that Adrian casted.

"I will have to take a rain check on that. Saena, use Sun Flare!" Adrian shouted as Saena suddenly appeared on top of Adrian via a mirror.

Even if Adrian is rooted, he is still connected to his mirrors and all he needs is the capacity to think in order to activate them. Saena appeared immediately on top of Adrian and released Sun Flare. A wave of bright light that contained the energy of the sun exploded in the area which released Adrian and the other players from the effects of Shadow Bindings.

Adrian thought that it would work as the Shadow of Apophis is afraid of the sun which means its weakness is any attack that contains the energy of the sun. This also means that any attack or skill that the Shadow of Apophis does could be naturally countered. It was still not enough time though as the Shadow of Apophis has already sunk its fangs on one of Adrian's arms.

[You have been bitten by the Shadow of Apophis.]

[The arm that was bitten by the Shadow of Apophis can no longer be used for five minutes due to a paralyzing toxin.]

The Shadow of Apophis managed to bite one of Adrian's floating arms making it fall down on the ground. It could not devour it though as the powerful Aether Energy running through it would make the Shadow of Apophis overloaded with pure energy. The Shadow of Apophis could have devoured the arm if it was combined with the other fragment.

"If you like it that much then have the other hands!" Adrian stated as he made use of his remaining three floating arms and sent it straight to the mouth of the Shadow of Apophis.

The Shadow of Apophis did not expect that Adrian would do such a thing, but the latter was desperate to stall for time. The guild players that recovered started to hit the Shadow of Apophis with spells and attacks once more. It is currently choking on three arms filled with Aether Energy which made it flail its body around.

The guild players had to maneuver differently as the Shadow of Apophis is flailing its body around like a maniac. If they get whipped by the raging tail, then they would definitely die or get sent flying far away. The Venom Gland of Apophis could feel the discomfort that its counterpart was feeling but the Goddess Bastet is keeping it at bay.

The Venom Gland of Apophis could not move from its location as the Goddess Bastet actually used the souls of her six heroes and transformed them into six different large felines. The six heroes might only be at the level of 200 but they are still Legendary tier NPCs. If Adrian could harness more energy to summon them then he might have summoned the Mythical tier version of them.

The six heroes transformed into a tiger, a lion, a lynx, a panther, cougar and a leopard. All six of them worked with the Goddess Bastet to corner the Venom Gland of Apophis in only one area so that its poison miasma does not spread. They are doing a great job, but they are also endangering themselves.

The other people might not be affected by the poison miasma, but the six heroes and the Goddess Bastet are. The six heroes are only keeping themselves alive due to Saena's heals but they could no longer get cleansed when she was summoned away. The Goddess Bastet also needs to be careful as she is only inhabiting a mortal body.

If the Goddess Bastet gets mortally wounded, then that could mean the death of the High Priestess Estet. If her high priestess dies, then she would not be able to descend onto the world. If she cannot descend, then the destruction of the Temple of Bastet along with the released of another fragment of Apophis will come true.

"Stay strong my heroes!" The Goddess Bastet stated but the summon time for the six heroes is only one hour.

To make matters worse, the night is becoming even deeper, and the strength of the Shadow of Apophis is rising even further. Just as the Venom Gland of Apophis is about to release a skill, it suddenly got hurt by a piercing and burning pain. The shriek of a serpent could be heard but it was not from the Venom Gland of Apophis. The shriek is from the Shadow of Apophis that was fighting against Adrian.
