BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1443 Cat Vs Snake V
The Shadow of Apophis was finally able to spit out the arms that Adrian forcibly made it eat. Adrian was even using his arms to grip the inside of the Shadow of Apophis, but it actually released numbing poison on its throat which made his arms useless.
"I shall make sure to savor your death!" The Shadow of Apophis threatened Adrian, but the latter was just smiling at him as a huge mirror appeared behind Adrian.
"Tell me that after you eat the force of a sun." Adrian stated as he has connected the two areas that he has been trying to connect since earlier.
Behind Adrian is a giant mirror portal that is connected to the Temple of the Sun. It might not be stable, but it was enough for the attack that he asked the Sun God Ra to create push through. The Sun God Ra made use of all the sun energy that the Temple of the Sun has collected for the whole day for his spell.
"Wrath of Ra!" The Sun God Ra shouted as a powerful laser beam made of the energy of the sun shot out from his chest.
Adrian vanished from the front of the mirror as the sun beam shot towards the Shadow of Apophis. Seeing the powerful sun beam get shot out of the mirror, the Shadow of Apophis could only focus everything into defending its body. The powerful sun beam covered the entire body of the Shadow of Apophis while Adrian\'s body started to break down from making sure that the portal is stable.
The Shadow of Apophis used every bit of energy it has and even the energy inside the fang fragment to defend against the sun beam. A shield made of shadow energy enveloped its whole body, but it was not enough to fully protect the Shadow of Apophis. The shadow barrier broke in under three seconds as the Shadow of Apophis is bathe in the power of the sun.
The loud shrieking hiss of a serpent monster echoed in the area as it accepted the full blast of sun energy. The shadow body of the Shadow of Apophis started to dissolve as the sun energy melted it with pure heat. Seeing that it cannot stand the sun energy any longer, the Shadow of Apophis decided to molt its current body to save itself.
The Shadow of Apophis glared at Adrian as it discarded its biggest shell and made its core smaller. The Shadow of Apophis has built that large body for a thousand years, but it was wasted because of its hasty nature. The sun beam that the Sun God Ra fired ended and all that was left of the Shadow of Apophis was a husk of its burnt body.
"It escaped." Adrian muttered as Cairo came out of the portal at the very last minute.
Adrian could no longer hold his form as he pushed his body too much. He supplemented everything with his unlimited aether energy but that also meant he stressed his body to a degree when he was still recovering from being cursed. Adrian reverted to his normal form and fell to the sands below where Dodu caught him with its springy body.
[You have overexerted your demon core to an alarming degree.]
[You cannot transform into your true form for two days.]
"It seems that the Shadow of Apophis was able to escape, guild master." Cairo stated as he was the one that told the Sun God Ra to prepare a powerful attack upon Adrian\'s behest.
While Adrian was buying time using his other hands, he contacted Cairo to tell the Sun God Ra to prepare one of its sun beam attacks. He figured that the only way to truly destroy the Shadow of Apophis would be a powerful sun beam but none of them could pull it off except for the Sun God Ra. He spent the time that he bought to connect the space in front of the Temple of the Sun to his current location.
"It managed to slip away when I was busy maintaining the mirror portal." Adrian replied with such an exasperated breath.
"I will be the one that will look for it then. You should rest as you already did your best, guild master." Cairo stated as he activated his skill Champion of the Sun God.
Cairo suddenly changed his form and is covered with golden armor and an eagle helm. He then waved his hands as numerous sand soldiers suddenly rose from the ground. Cairo told them to kill the enemy while sand soldiers that looked like assassins searched for the Shadow of Apophis that slipped through.
"Did we defeat the Shadow of Apophis?" One of the top guild players asked.
"I think we did not. There was no notification that we defeated it. This body is only like a husk that it left behind so that it could save itself." Faust stated as he arrived at the area.
"It slipped away just as you say." Adrian stated as he told Dodu to send him to the gathered players.
The players suddenly felt awkward when Adrian came as they wanted to vent their frustrations since they were not able to kill the Shadow of Apophis. Part of their skit would have been to complain that Equinox sent there here for nothing, but it became awkward when he arrived. They could only keep quiet and command the others to move on.
"I want to be compensated for spending my time here when I could have been killing other monsters." One of the guild masters aired his frustration.
"If that is how you feel then give me all the contribution points that you got from damaging the Shadow of Apophis." Adrian replied which immediately shut him up.
The others would have said the same thing as well, but they stopped when they heard what Adrian said. They should actually be thankful to him as they rapidly increased their contribution points when he teleported them.
