"Holy Fire!" Adrian thought to himself as he definitely cannot escape with the sun stone with that demigod guarding it.

The demigod Agni has the same appearance of the warriors but he has two heads instead of one. His skin tone is also not tan but reddish as if fire itself manifested a body. He also is quite tall compared to the tallest warrior in this city as he stands at a height of two and a half meters.

He is wearing ceremonial outfit that kings or nobles wear which is covered with gold. Even the thread used in the actual fabric for the outfit is made of golden threads. He wears three contrasting colors of red, white, and gold which symbolizes his three existence levels.

"Master, what do you wish for me to do?" Sirius asked as he was waiting for his next action.

Adrian told Sirius to lurk inside the shadow of those that were currently tied up in the center of the city. Adrian did not want Sirius to move as he knew that one wrong move and they may be killed off or captured. He needed to think on what to do next, but the Demigod Agni suddenly spoke.

The Demigod Agni looked towards Adrian's direction and started to speak in an unknown language. Adrian did not even know that he was actually the subject of the conversation as he cannot understand anything. It was only when the Demigod Agni spoke in the central continent language did Adrian understand that he was being spoken to.

"To our uninvited guest, can you please show yourself. It is either you show yourself or be vanquished by the fires of my anger. It is also a good idea to introduce yourself or else I might make you combust where you stand." The Demigod Agni stated in a demanding yet calm tone.

Adrian knew that hiding for long will not save him as the gaze of the Demigod Agni falls to him. Adrian knows the feeling of staring at one's soul even though he is currently at his soul form right now. The warriors that bowed to the Demigod Agni are suddenly in high alert because their god suddenly talked to an invisible foe.

"Greetings! God of Fire Agni, I am Equinox. The current Champion of the Twin Gods and an Arch Demon from the Daemos Race." Adrian stated as he showed himself.

"Djinn!" The warriors of the city suddenly shouted as they prepared their weapons.

"Equinox!" The players exclaimed.

"Wrong flavor of demon. I am an Imp." Adrian stated.

"Stand down, my proud warriors. He did not come here to hurt you or at least he only came for the people that you have captured. You may resume your duty while I chat with our sudden important guest." The Demigod Agni stated.

With the command of their god, the warriors that were still holding their weapons went back to their duties. Some of the warriors did form a small group that acted as the bodyguards of the Demigod Agni but the latter did not really need one. Only another demigod of the same level could kill the Demigod Agni and there are not a lot of gods that descended.

"Well then, Champion Equinox. I am curious as to why your acquaintances are trying to steal the Sunshine Orb that the people worshipping me is safekeeping. This is a treasure that their ancestors have received when they traded with people from the east." The Demigod Agni stated in a calm tone but Adrian knows that he is being tested right now.

"That is not the Sunshine Orb but a Sun Stone. A relic of the Sun God Ra that he has crafted when he reincarnated as a human hundreds of years ago. He needs it back in order to restore his power enough to fight the Distorted God Apophis." Adrian stated.

"You mean to say that the Sun God Ra has truly been revived!? I thought the other gods were just doing idle gossip once more to pass their uselessly long lives." The Demigod Agni stated.

"It is true and he wants his Sun Stone back. He would really appreciate it if you can give it back." Adrian stated.

"What can you give me in return?" The Demigod Agni asked.

"In return? I am only the one asked to get back the item. Please hold." Adrian stated as he snapped his fingers and created a small rift in space.

The small rift in space actually connected the southern continent to the Temple of the Sun God. The rift was only small as it was the size of a plate but it was enough to make the two gods converse with one another. Adrian will not bother himself with the negotiation as he is not the one that should spearhead this.

"Sun God Ra, are you there?" Adrian asked the plate sized rift and a loud reverberating voice answered.

"I am here, Champion Equinox. Why did you call for me? Have you gotten the Sun Stone in the southern continent?" The Sun God Ra stated.

"We ran into a small problem because we have someone that came to negotiate with you. It is your item which is why it is only right that you should talk to the current owner of the Sun Stone." Adrian stated as he moved his head away to show the Demigod Agni.

"Ra!" The Demigod Agni stated.

"Agni!" The Sun God Ra stated.

The two were silent for a few moments and then burst out laughing. Adrian thought that they would be enemies, but he remembered the description of the god in front of him. The God Agni sometimes represents the sun which means he can also be counted as a minor sun deity hence the familiarity with the Sun God Ra.

The two of them then talked in a language that was foreign to both the inhabitants of the city and also Adrian. They seem to be talking in a language more ancient that the ones that Adrian could already translate. Adrian's Scribe secondary class suddenly started to trigger its effects as the new words that he is hearing enhances his mastery.

[You have heard and tried to process the language of the Gods.]

[Your mortal brain cannot process the language as you lack in Divinity.]

The talk of the two continued until Adrian saw that his mana is almost depleted. Seeing that his mana is almost out, Adrian told them to wrap up the conversation because he cannot be here all day. The Distorted God Apophis will attack the Temple of Bastet any minute now.

"Could you like… I do no know… negotiate faster? We do not have all day and I do not have an unlimited mana source to keep this small rift open." Adrian stated.

"Sorry about that Champion Equinox. It has been a long time which is why we just chatted quite a bit." The Sun God Ra stated.

"Apologies for me as well. It has been quite a long time since I have talked to my friend. We have agreed to give you the Sun Stone, but you must do something in exchange." The Demigod Agni stated.

"What should I do?" Adrian asked as he already knows that this request might take all of his focus.

"In exchange for the Sun Stone, Ra has agreed to give us the Sun Collecting Formation so that my people does not suffer. If the Sun Stone that is here vanishes then my people would be vulnerable to the dangers of the southern continent." The Demigod Agni stated.

"I see. It is a fair trade for an item that gives them protection but I do not know the Sun Collecting Formation." Adrian stated.

"Do not worry, Champion Equinox. Come close to the rift." The Sun God Ra stated, and Adrian followed.

"Even closer." The Sun God Ra stated as Adrian basically planted his face on the rift.

The Sun God Ra then used his finger and injected it with his divine mana. Inside that divine mana is the information regarding the Sun Collecting Formation. With a powerful gush of energy, the Sun God Ra sent that information towards Adrian's mind which knocked him back a few meters.
