Omega Summoner

Adrian summoned Kanlaon as he will be the one that will lead the charge. He also applied a buff to all the people in the party as Kanlaon could increase their overall speed. Kanlaon leading the front will also eliminate the drag or air resistance in front of them.

The golden warriors led by Sadiki understood the assignment and blitzed through the path led before them. Cairo hanged on for dear life as he is hugging Kanlaon’s body with all he has. Adrian found it hilarious because he can just sit normally like him as Kanlaon negates air pressure.

As their number is that of a hundred, the people that pas by the way to the Thorny Pit noticed the sudden arrival of a hundred golden warriors. They noticed that it was led by the Storm Lunatic Sadiki which is why they did not bother them as they do not want to deal with them. The people of the western continent do not want to deal with the followers of the God Seth because of Sadiki’s reputation.

The ones that have a motive are lurking in the shadows just as they should. They reported to the Vessel of Ammit that the Vessel of Seth has entered the Thorny Pit along. The only thing that they reported though is that they are following a dragon that they seem to be hunting.

Adrian made sure to tell Kanlaon to bend the light so that he and Cairo will appear invisible. He planned to fake a scenario where the followers of the God Seth are out to hunt a dragon. It might not be a fool proof plan, but it should buy them enough time to investigate the Thorny Pit without the disturbance of others.

The way to the Thorny Pit is a place where the sand is slightly darker which is a sign of corruption. Even the resilient cactus does not grow in this sand. The plants that do grow here have turned into blood sucking plant monsters that kill anyone foolish enough to get near them.

A lot of vicious centipede monsters also crawl out of the Thorny Pit. These centipede monsters come in all shapes and sizes. Only those with a death wish or want to escape persecution come here. Due to the nature of the Thorny Pit, it has become a place of execution for those that defy the will of the Ammit.

They have reached the Thorny Pit with such speed that even the monsters loitering there were not able to react. Some of the monsters already cowered when faced with Kanlaon’s aura while some scattered when they saw the huge army of golden warriors. When they arrived at the location, they saw about twenty priests from the Temple of Bastet including the High Priestess Estet.

“Champion Equinox and Champion Cairo! You have finally arrived. It seems you have brought some reinforcements as well but the activity in the Thorny Pit is not that dangerous. I believe that it might have been a false alarm or rather just a check.” The High Priestess Estet stated.

“It might be disrespectful to immediately rebuke you Estet, but this is not some simple survey mission. The Thorny Pit being this calm is unprecedented. Even if it is of the calmest season now, there should still be some centipede monsters that try to climb up the hole.” Sadiki stated as he knows the behavior of the Thorny Pit.

“I also concluded the same as you, but we found out that the centipede monsters seem to be in mating season right now. They are all bundled up and coiled around each other. Even descending the pit is not that fruitful due to this situation. You can look at it yourselves.” The High Priestess Estet stated as she pointed towards the hole.

Sadiki told his golden warriors to surround the Thorny Pit while he investigates. Adrian and Cairo also came with Sadiki to confirm what the High Priestess Estet stated. When they looked at the Thorny Pit, they are greeted with a horrifying image of possibly millions of centipede monsters coiling up around each other.

The name of Thorny Pit really lived up to its potential as numerous thorny appendages of centipedes are seen moving. Even the most fearless person might develop a trauma if they suddenly fall into that. To make matters worse for Adrian, he could see the spirits of the dead that were pushed to death in the Thorny Pit.

While the others were continuing their observation, Adrian walked up to one of the dead souls to talk to it. The moment the dead souls saw Adrian, they immediately swarmed him like he is a celebrity or something. The dead souls instinctively knew that the person before them has death’s authority.

“Great One! Will you bring us to the afterlife?” One of the souls asked.

“I will not bring you there, but I can summon the door to where you will be judged.” Adrian stated which made the souls initially sad but rejoiced when they heard the last sentence.

“Thank you, great one! We will not vanish like the others because of you.” One of the souls stated as they wailed.

“Vanish? Explain to me what is happening here.” Adrian stated as souls vanishing is not something to be glad about. 𝘭𝘪𝘣𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝘤𝑜𝓂

If a soul is extinguished, then they will never be able to be reincarnated. There are very rare cases of souls being extinguished because special things needed to happen for it to be possible. The most crucial reason is that the place that they are in cannot reach the blessing of the Gods of Death.

The reason for there being many gods of death is for them to reach every soul in existence even if it is in the most secluded location. The fact that the Thorny Pit cannot let souls rest means that it has become hallowed ground. A place where even death does not reach and for that to happen would mean that this territory has become a god’s dominion.
