The Shadow of Apophis eyed the God Horus as its next meal as it has become hungry due to travelling to the Temple of Horus. The golden warriors of Horus cannot do much damage to the Shadow of Apophis but they could take its attention away from the God Horus. Also, the golden warriors of Horus have started to become more powerful due to being in the presence of their god.
The golden warriors of Horus created a powerful tornado that swept up the monsters in the surroundings. They then asked the adventurers to help them in dealing with the Shadow of Apophis. The players were a bit hesitant at first, but they were given quests from the God Horus himself as part of the plea.
The Shadow of Apophis tried to attack the God Horus that is in bathe with the God Shesmu but spells from the players started to hinder it. The Shadow of Apophis then looked at the players that dared to attack it and became irritated. It knew that it will not be able to get the God Horus if its constantly being attacked by the lower beings.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I am hungry but you lesser beings will do." The Shadow of Apophis stated as it suddenly came crashing down on the ground.
The players or rather the guilds that have gathered there immediately knew that they need to stop the Shadow of Apophis right there. If they managed to kill it then they might get the Mythical Tier Chest that they want as a reward. Numerous guilds gathered around the Shadow of Apophis as all of them are looking at the world boss like loot.
They would have been able to defeat the Shadow of Apophis right there if the God Horus and the God Shesmu joined them but that is not the reality. The God Horus (who descended to its vessel) is currently fighting to the death with the God Shesmu (who also descended on his vessel). To defeat the Shadow of Apophis now, they would at least need two vessels that are great warriors and an army of golden warriors.
The Shadow of Apophis knew of this which is why it made all the monsters under its control to attack simultaneously. It knew that it cannot have a lot of the vessels attacking it at once but the vessels could still do that if they were not greedy for territory. The Shadow of Apophis is not only utilizing the greed of man but also the greed of gods.
The guild players are also not doing everything in their power as soon as possible because they are unfamiliar with the way the Shadow of Apophis attacks. They wanted to see how it moves and formulate a plan to counter it on the next instance but that should not be the way. The players would have a greater chance of winning if they poured everything at the very first instance.
The Shadow of Apophis is not a punching bag though as it already swallowed up some unfortunate players. It continued to rampage as it is also paying attention to the fight between the two descended gods. The Shadow of Apophis might be a metaphysical body, but it can also transform into what it really is which is a shadow.
When the Shadow of Apophis saw its chance at attacking the God Horus, it immediately turned its body into a shadow to basically teleport to the location of the God Horus. The God Horus is then sandwiched between the opened mouth of the Shadow of Apophis and the scimitars of the God Shesmu.
Seeing no way out of the situation, the God Horus exploded in power as it summoned all of the sky energy it could wield. A powerful barrier made of wind and an unfamiliar energy blocked the attacks of the Shadow of Apophis and the God Shesmu. It might look like the God Horus is successfully defending their attacks but the barrier could be seen slowly getting smaller.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe fangs of the Shadow of Apophis are getting eerily closer to the head of the God Horus. The scimitars of the God Shesmu are also getting dangerously closer to the God Horus' neck. If his barrier loses power, then Har, who is the vessel of the God Horus, will definitely die.
The players cannot just watch and let this happen but they are hesitating as they might aid the enemy in weakening the barrier of the God Horus. The players tried to do frontal assault, but they were blocked by the monsters that surrounded the three divine beings that are fighting. The golden warriors of Horus tried to intervene but the golden warriors of Shesmu made sure that they cannot help their descended god.
Just as everyone thought that the God Horus will lose, a powerful flash of light suddenly flashed across the sky. All of them suddenly saw a silver comet shooting down from the sky towards the head of the Shadow of Apophis. A maiden with armor that shone like the northern lights and a spear that has designs of a rose appeared.
"Frey!" All the players suddenly shouted as they pointed towards her since they did not expect her to come here.
When the players saw Frey, they immediately saw another group joining the combat and that was the Briar Rose Guild. It was the guild that Frey always associated with because she was friends with the guild master. They renamed the guild as they managed to absorb smaller guilds into their ranks.
The Shadow of Apophis screamed in pain as the spear pierced its scales. The weapon imbued with the power of a Valkyrie is not something that the Shadow of Apophis expected to hit it. Using the weakened biting power of the Shadow of Apophis, the God Horus made his wind barrier explode to blow away the God Shesmu and the Shadow of Apophis.
The God Horus managed to save his vessels life, but he became extremely weak due to this. The God Horus cannot hold on to his vessel and returned back his divine will to his divine realm.
