Chapter 1364 Serpent In Hibernation I

"Miasma?!" The High Priestess Estet stated in shock because she does not specialize in curing any being that is infected with miasma.

Even if the High Priestess Estet asks the help of her patron goddess, she will not be able to detoxify the miasma easily as it was also made from the energy of the Shadow of Apophis. Adrian looked at them and thought why they were looking grim as he can easily deal with the miasma.

"If you want, I can take away the miasma from his body." Adrian said so casually and the look of shock could be seen from everyone in the room.

"Can you actually do it, Champion Equinox? I guess being the Champion of the Twin Gods is very different after all. You are basically the arbiter of life and death because of your great power." One of the golden warriors of Horus stated as he clung to Adrian's leg to beg the latter to heal Har.

"I will do my best but no promises as I only dealt with miasma from dark gods in the past. A distorted god might be more of a challenge for me because of the difference in quality." Adrian stated as he suddenly changed his form to that of the Aetheros.

Adrian then scattered his Aether energy into the area to make sure that Har will have greater regeneration while he is extracting the miasma from the latter's body. Adrian then inserted his mana onto Har's body as he wanted to collect all of the miasma scattered inside Har's body. The miasma is not located in just one spot or has one source but is scattered all throughout Har's body and is infecting him at a slow pace.

Adrian could see the miasma using his demon eye as miasma is something that also affects the soul. It is also the reason why he can deal with miasma as he is an expert when it comes to souls. Adrian made sure to sue his own mana as bait to collect the miasma into one spot so that the extraction can be done all at once.

The process of drawing out all the miasma from Har's body might look easy from the perspective of others but it is a very delicate process. If Adrian makes a mistake then all the miasma he collected could infect a different part of Har's soul. The most dangerous areas would be the chest and the head area as those are the special points in one soul.

"Get ready to heal him using Rejuvenation! As soon as I pull out the miasma from his body, heal him quickly or his body might break down from the sudden exertion." Adrian stated as the High Priestess Estet along with her fellow priests got ready.

Adrian collected the miasma at the lower stomach part of Har as he wanted to eject it using his belly button. Miasma is both an energy and a physical thing after all as it can visibly affect the organs of the one infected.

"He might have some complications with his stomach for a few days but that would be a small drawback." Adrian muttered as he placed his hand on top of Har's stomach.

Adrian then pulsed his mana in that location as he made sure that all the miasma gathered there. When he is sure that he collected all of it, he then gently lifted his hand as the miasma took on a more physical appearance. A small black serpent could be seen coming out of Har's belly button.

Adrian made sure that the small black serpent is entranced by his mana as it actually lunged towards him. The priests around him are all frazzled by what happened but Adrian shouted at them to heal Har. The small black serpent was about to bite Adrian and infect him with miasma when Dodu suddenly opened its own magic circle.

A long gooey tentacle could be seen extending from that magic circle and grabbed the small black serpent. The small black serpent tried to fight back or escape but the gooey tentacle suddenly covered all of its body as it got absorbed. Dodu squirmed as it got a very delicious meal from its master as it returned back to its soul chamber.

"It seems that we are done here. You also healed him perfectly which means he might gain consciousness a few hours from now. I have you guys a favor which means I need a favor from you as well. I need all the information about your battle with the Shadow of Apophis." Adrian stated as the next in line for the chain of command for the golden warriors of Horus volunteered to tell him the details in its entirety.

Adrian then received a lot of information regarding the Shadow of Apophis and Vessel of Shesmu. He knew that the one that will be difficult to deal with would be the Vessel of Shesmu as the vessel of the Demon God of Blood and Slaughter does not get chosen for being weak. The Vessel of Shesmu also battled the Vessel of Horus in the latter's territory and still fought on equal grounds.

"Still, this is a great opportunity to attack the Shadow of Apophis as it is currently asleep. The only problem is that all the temples will once again be attacked every night by monster hordes. Even during the day, the Shadow of Apophis is guarded by the Temple of Shesmu along with some monsters." Adrian muttered as he exited the temple.

Seeing that there is nothing else for him to do, Adrian teleported back to the Temple of the Sun. A few seconds after he left, Frey walked back into the Temple of Bastet to ask for hunting grounds near the temple. She also saw the flicker of light but she only thought that it must be a player that used a teleportation scroll which has recently circulated the auctions.

"The snake is sleeping and is vulnerable to attacks! This might be our chance to defeat them." Levin Cloud stated.

"We do not even know if it is only the Temple of Shesmu that sided with the Distorted God Apophis. I vote that we must guard the Temple of the Sun and have the Sun God Ra recover his energy." Peridot stated as she knew that it was the Sun God Ra that obliterated the descended Distorted God Apophis.

Adrian then listened to all the inputs of the guild members that were present. Some already logged out to make sure that they can log in later at night for the battle. Some went to hunting grounds as they are in the middle of a forbidden zone in the western continent.

"I can teleport us in and out of the area of the Temple of Horus. We can see what we are up to for the first few days. I am sure that we are not the only guild that will do that because the other top guilds have sent me an invitation. It seems that they want to kill the Shadow of Apophis while the Lucky Chest reward is still the Mythical Tier." Adrian stated.

All of them then thought of what Adrian said as a Lucky Mythical Tier chest is not  very small reward. It will drop a mythical tier item which could be a weapon, armor, material, or goods. A lot of players want to receive this chest because of the great things that will come out of it. The reward becomes lower if the Shadow of Apophis gets the other fragments.

"I think you should attend the summit of the guilds first and see what their plan of action is. You can tell them what you learned of the Shadow of Apophis as defeating the world boss is now our priority. We do not care about the reward that we will get as long as the Shadow of Apophis is destroyed. Do we all agree?" Solstice stated and everyone agreed as well.

The guild does not care about the reward at this point because they were doing another quest anyways. It would be more beneficial for them to have the Shadow of Apophis be defeated by others as their priority is making sure that the Sun God Ra get back to at least a portion of his power. All of them knew that the Sun God Ra is the failsafe of the world quest.

If the Sun God Ra were to perish, then the Distorted God Apophis might truly descend into the world. A world quest will always have two sides as one is the savior quest while the other one is the alternative savior quest. If the world truly does get destroyed, then all the players will also suffer as a result.

If even the alternative savior quest does not succeed, then that only mean that the players were not that strong. Another opportunity will arise but that will only sprout once a part of the world has been destroyed.
