Chapter 1217 Champion Of The Sun God
The Champion of the Sun God has immediately traveled to the Temple of Bastet as he was called by the God Set and Goddess Bastet. Adrian met the Champion of the Sun God and saw that he is covered in golden armor. He is also with golden clad weapons that shines bright in the sun.
He has a weapon that looks like a staff that radiates he energy of the sun which Adrian could perceive. He could be seen as a small sun or at least have the energy of one which made Adrian sure that he is the Champion of the Sun God.
“Champion Cairo, you have arrived. We are glad that you came. He is the Champion Equinox who represents the Twin Gods.” The High Priestess Estet stated.
Adrian held out his hand as he knew that Cairo is a player just like him. What Adrian did not expect is that Cairo suddenly started to get giddy. He also had this smile plastered on his face that would make anyone want to somewhat avoid him.
“It is an honor to meet you. I always wanted to meet you personally as I am a fan.” Cairo stated as hi eyes could be seen that he has great admiration.
Cairo looked of Middle Eastern descent and Adrian learned some of his experiences as he seems to idolize the latter. It seems that Cairo loved the legends of his country as he is actually named with his birthplace. He also chose the western continent because he loved the myths which is why he wanted to become a Champion like Adrian when he was announced that he was actually a champion.
He managed to become the Champion of the Sun God by being chosen why a remnant will of the Sun God Ra. He stumbled at a forgotten temple of the Sun God and is given the title of a Champion which he loved. The only problem that he got is the fact that the Sun God is not active as he is sealed. He is actually in the search of the remnants of the Sun God but is not lucky.
He searched all of the western continent except for the danger zones as it is difficult to go there without proper preparation. The relics of the Sun God were even destroyed back then by the angels or were stolen by other temples that wanted the power of the sun. Cairo managed to get relics and some important items back, but he did not get any remnant of the Sun God.
“It is great to meet you two. I can say the same for knowing you because I did not even know other players who are champions of other gods.” Adrian stated as he shook Cairo’s hand.
“As I was called by the God Set and Goddess Bastet, I immediately came here in haste when I heard that you are here. They said that you need to access a Temple of the Sun God. There is actually one in the Ceaseless Desert but getting there will be a challenge.” Cairo stated.
“That is fine. I only need to access the power of the sun in order to make sure that the Vestige of the Sun God is filled with it. I need it to make sure that my soulbound will evolve.” Adrian stated.
Cairo could not believe that he will actually assist Equinox in making one of his soulbounds evolve. He also could feel the energy of the sun radiating from Adrian, but it was faint. He will actually be able to help someone that he admires in terms of playstyle.
“Do not worry because I will compensate you for your time because I know that you are busy. I will give you the Carapace of the Desert Sun Pharoah Beetle as payment for your services. I think that you will be able to make use of that.” Adrian stated.
When Adrian spoke of the carapace of the Desert Sun Pharoah Beetle, the ears of the weakened avatars suddenly perked up. They may be weak right now but that does not mean that they do not have ears. They also wanted this carapace as that is a mythical tier monster that is only able to available for every thousand years.
There is only one Desert Sun Beetle in a thousand that could potentially evolve into that monster. What is also more impressive is the fact that Adrian battled against a more powerful variant of the Desert Sun Pharoah Beetle. The Desert Sun Pharoah Beetle that he battled was in the process of turning into a divine beast.
“I would actually like another thing if I were to be honest.” Cairo stated as he suddenly became serious.
Adrian suddenly felt a shift of attitude from Cairo as he suddenly became serious. He can definitely understand how this player could become a Champion of the Sun God. He is not a pushover that can be easily swayed unless he wants to.
“That is fine. I will still give you the carapace for your troubles but if what you want exceeds the value of the carapace then you can have your request.” Adrian replied.
“I actually want to join your guild.” Cairo stated which actually shocked Adrian to which the latter chuckled a little.
“Is that too much to ask?” Cairo followed up.
“Not really. You can actually join my guild if you want to, but recruitments are currently frozen for 29 days. Once the 29 days are over then you can apply for the guild by coming to Avalon. I am not the only one that has a say on who goes in the guild.” Adrian stated which made Cairo happy.
“So, where are we going next?” Vitae stated as she is now bored waiting on Adrian and Cairo talking.
“We are going to the Hidden Temple of the Sun God that is not far from here. It is place where the rays of the sun illuminate the underground cave. We shall now head there with my assistance.” Cairo stated as he took out an orb that has the mark of the sun.
“I can feel that orb opens a gate.” Adrian stated as he could feel the spatial energy contained in the orb.
“It actually does as this will automatically transport us to the Hidden Temple of the Sun God. It transports anyone there immediately, but it can only be activated once per day. We also need to be basking in light in order to activate it, but we are already in the presence of the sun.” Cairo stated.
Adrian and the others gathered around each other as the area where the orb affects them is limited. Cairo activated his mana and the golden armor in his body shimmered in light. The light gathered around him and also touched the other people.
A sun ray suddenly fell upon the group as they vanished from the spot that they are. In a farther region of the Ceaseless Desert, a shing beam of light came down. The beam of light penetrated the desert, and it sent a signal to all other temples that something is happening in the Ceaseless Desert once more.
They wanted to investigate but they know that the Temple of Bastet will gatekeep them. The group arrived at the center of an underground room where no sunlight could pass through. Adrian looked up at the room and saw that the roof is actually made with some sort of crystal that can make sunlight pass through. 𝘭𝒾𝑏𝓇𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝘰𝑚
“This is the entrance to the Hidden Temple of the Sun God. I shall open the gates.” Cairo stated as he took out a golden ankh. He then raised the golden ankh on the air and the sunlight that hit the item suddenly split the light into a spectrum. 𝘭𝘪𝘣𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝘤𝑜𝓂
The spectrum of light split into seven colors and hi seven different gemstones that have the color of the rainbow. Each gemstone then absorbed the light that is emitted and the whole room started to shake. The group did not panic as they could see the walls starting to split.
Adrian suddenly thought something is strange with the walls as it started spinning. It was then he noticed that the walls actually formed a pyramid. The walls of the pyramid suddenly crashed onto the ground and revealed the real Hidden Temple of the Sun God.
Giant statues representing the Sun God Ra could be seen holding up the actual roof of the temple. The wall of the hidden temple is even clad in gold that reflect the light of the sun that is being fed by transparent crystals embedded on the walls and ceiling.
Cairo then placed his hands on the small pyramid’s floor, and it started to power itself up. The platform that they are standing on started to float as they are sent to the middle of the hidden temple where a miniature sun could be seen absorbing the energy from the sun.
