Chapter 1427 To The South I

The first two were from the Evergreen Guild that went to two different locations in the western continent. One of them was led to an area controlled by a demigod that can actually shift the earth with her ability. She created a powerful maze that trapped anyone that went inside of it without her permission.

Only one of them was able to get out as they planned out who needed to be ejected. The ones that were left had to hide inside the maze so that they would not be caught by the monsters inside. The return scrolls that Adrian gave them did not work inside the maze as well as if something was blocking them.

"It seems that the demigod is using my Sun Stone in manipulating the rules of space inside the maze. If she could do that then that Sun Stone must have been supercharged and is one of the early ones that I have created." The Sun God Ra stated as he listened in on the request.

The second one seems to be located at the edge of the western continent near the ocean. It is on top of an island but the people assigned to that Sun Stone could not defeat the guardian monsters and the demigod. They also feel a repulsive force whenever they tried to fly over to get it.

"This one is using it like a barrier of some sort which means it also has some sort of power behind it." The Sun God Ra commented.

The last one reported is in the mysterious southern continent were lost of volcanic activity occurs. It is also mostly islands or archipelagos with dense jungles. The monsters there are also large and fast which is not suitable for their sizes. It is basically like a whole different world as there are not many known native people living there.

The last sun stone was actually on top of a pyramid where warriors of an unknown race. It seems that they were somehow captured by them and cannot get out of the continent as a warrior that has the strength of a demigod is holding them captive. They also speak in a language that they cannot understand which is why they cannot communicate.

Apparently, they use the sun stone for harvesting energy from the sun and diverting it into the ground. This is how they make their fields lush and full of life. They also use it to create a barrier around their city to make sure that they do not get attacked even at night. It seems that they also worship some gods, but they have not investigated which gods they are.

"This is bad!" Levin Cloud stated.

"What is bad?" Adrian asked.

"The Shadow of Apophis has been seen on the periphery of the Temple of Bastet. The players are still intercepting it, but it seems that the Followers of the Dark Gods are also joining in in attacking the Temple of Bastet. We need to provide back up as it seems that they would not be able to hold up." Levin Cloud stated as some of their guild members were sent to the Temple of Bastet.

"Since some of the teams have returned, we should split it up four ways. I shall go to the southern continent myself and save them If I can, but I would do reconnaissance first. The rest of you guys will provide back up to the Temple of Bastet." Adrian stated.

With everything under control, Adrian sent them on their way, and he headed to the southern continent. Since he cannot choose a location, he had to travel the old fashion way by skydiving. The next thing that met his face are the harsh and hot clouds of the southern continent.

"The Sun Stone is located at that island over there." Adrian muttered to himself as he unfurled his wings but he suddenly sensed a powerful bloodlust aimed at him.

Adrian immediately teleported to the dense jungle as soon as he sensed this in order to defend himself. He looked up to see what was attacking him and it was a gigantic eagle like monster that has an aura of fierceness. Adrian could instinctively feel that this flying monster was more powerful than him.

"It is always the freaking flying monsters that want to eat me. Am I really that tasty in their eyes?" Adrian thought as he then jumped high as he sensed bloodlust once more.

The branch that he was sitting on was actually a snake monster that was camouflaged. Adrian slapped the brains out of that monster as it was not at his level, but it was still powerful. He did have to reinforce his palms with primordial energy.

"Just because I am bullied in the air does not mean that I will also be bullied in the forest. Greater Summon: Sirius!" Adrian stated as he summoned Sirius to decapitate the snake monster. He then commanded him to track scout ahead.

Adrian then used Soul Form Transformation to make sure that he does not get attacked anymore by other monsters. Just as he expected, the southern continent is not just an overgrown jungle, but it also has a very hot and humid climate that makes one stamina decrease at a greater pace.

"Master, I have found the area that you have pointed to. It is just like they have said as the place is covered in a barrier that even my shadows cannot penetrate through." Sirius reported.

"I shall head there now." Adrian replied as he hurriedly came to the location that Sirius scouted.

Just like Sirius stated, the whole place was a huge city covered with a barrier. The whole city looked majestic and mysterious at the same time as numerous large pyramids like structures are scattered throughout the place. Adrian touched the barrier to see the essence of the mana used as he is very sensitive to stuff like that.

As soon as Adrian touched the mana, something inside of him resonated with it. The mana is actually resonating with the sun energy inside of him which means that the source of this barrier is none other than the sun stone. The only problem now would be for Adrian to get inside the city without getting detected.

"Master! I have found residents of the city." Sirius reported as he saw a part of the barrier suddenly getting lifted.

"Share your vision with me." Adrian replied as his sight is exchanged with what Sirius sees.

Adrian could see that the natives in the southern continent are wearing some sort of armor made of bronze like metal. They are also covered in tribal tattoos, but the amount is dependent on what seems to be their conquest. The warriors were carrying a large number of monsters that they hunted down to feed the city.

"Enter the city when the barrier opens." Adrian commanded.

"As you wish." Sirius replied as he attached himself to the shadow of the hunted animals.

The barrier closed once more which even blocked Adrian out even if he was in soul form. The barrier could actually repel spiritual entities like himself. Adrian tried to use the sun energy located inside him but it was so miniscule that he could not even coat himself in it.

"Master, I think I have found the people that you are looking for. They seem to be tied up in the center of the city as if they are up for display." Sirius reported as he once again shared sight with Adrian.

The players included people from the Briar Rose guild and even Frey. Adrian is shocked to see that even Frey was captured by the warriors. If she was captured, then there is a high chance that he might get captured as well. He now needs a plan or else he will really end up like them.

"Can you send me in?" Adrian asked Sirius.

"I can send you in using my shadows master but we must use a building where the shadow is casting." Sirius replied.

Adrian circled around the area and found a spot where the pyramid like structure casted a shadow. Sirius also went to that place and Adrian only needed to get back in his physical form. Once he could step on the shadow, Sirius used his abilities to suck Adrian into the shadow realm and popped him back to the real world inside of the barrier.

Adrian then transformed himself in soul form once more as he went closer to the center of the city. It seems that they were holding some sort of ceremony as they were dancing and singing while bowing towards the heavens. Their language is definitely different to any other language that Adrian has heard of but he did hear a few things that are similar.

"The language seems to be almost the same as those that live in the island further south of the eastern continent." Adrian thought as a powerful being suddenly descended from the top of the pyramid structure.
