Omega Summoner-Novel

"Champion Equinox, do you not have a way to take the sand holding the goddess captive with spatial magic?" The High Priestess Estet asked Adrian softly, but it seems that the Sand Witch could still hear them.

"I have seen the abilities of demons! If you dare move just one muscle, then the goddess will be tortured beyond belief by me." The Sand Witch Arahas stated as she kept a close observation on Adrian.

"Then do it." Adrian stated plainly which made the tense atmosphere so awkward because they did not expect that from him.

One would think that the person that escorted the goddess all the way to the western continent would get some form of attachment, but they did not expect that Adrian did not get any. The look of disbelief could be seen written in the faces of the members of the Temple of Bastet.

The people of the Temple of Bastet thought that he and the Goddess Bastet are somewhat close because he has yet to return despite safely escorting the goddess to her temple. Shock, anger and even frustration could be seen on the faces of everyone that heard Adrian's statement. They then remembered the sayings that the demons do not care about anything as long as the world still functions.

"Champion Equinox! You are not serious, right?" Nakia asked as he thought that Adrian is dependable because he helped them with their issues with the Sand Crawlers.

"I am serious though. I bet it was also her that drove the horde of monsters to the temple. If you really can do that then try doing it, Sand Witch Arahas." Adrian stated and the people of the temple are enraged because he was even challenging the enemy to hurt their goddess.

"It seems that I am not threatening enough which is why you think I will not do it. I shall show you the face of your goddess as I deliver to her what pain feels." The Sand Witch Arahas stated as she slowly took out part of the swirling sand.

The Sand Witch Arahas and the people of the Temple of Bastet thought that they will see the head of their goddess show but they are shocked when it was not. The head that appeared is not of their goddess but actually of a feline monster. The clueless head of Kimat could be seen poking out of the sands.

Before the presumed kidnapping of the goddess, Adrian immediately noticed that the sand was acting strange because Sirius alerted him. The sand almost covered the body of the Goddess Bastet, but Charon immediately acted and pulled the goddess inside his coffin. Adrian then used Time Stop to make sure that Charon will make it in time to save the goddess.

When time is stopped, Adrian immediately knew that there should at least be someone to be kidnapped. If the sand were to be empty, then the one pulling the strings would not show themselves. Adrian immediately conjured up a summoning magic circle and pulled Kimat to his location.

The unsuspecting Kimat suddenly got told to shrink a bit to at least imitate the height of a human. He did as he complied and is told to not resist too much when he is restrained. The clueless Kimat did as he is told despite his fervent wish that someone else should do it.

Sirius then showed up beside Kimat to discipline him. Sirius told Kimat that this is his punishment for playing around too much when he should have been busy guarding the temple. The poor Kimat can only suck it up as Sirius is considered as their eldest. Even the dragon Kanlaon follows Sirius' commands to the utmost.

"Do not worry. You will be safe as I can always summon you back to me when you are in danger." Adrian told Kimat to make the soulbound believe that he will be safe.

When Adrian placed Kimat in the Goddess Bastet's place, he resumed time once again. Everything happened so fast which is why the others could not see what clearly happened and assumed that it was the Goddess Bastet that is kidnapped. Adrian did not tell them as well because he needed to see the mastermind of this whole debacle. He knows that the monster horde is not a coincidence.

[You soulbound, Kimat, has been captured. You cannot summon him back to you as long as he is trapped in the Sand Sack.]

"Oh! Did not see that coming." Adrian muttered to himself as he also chased after the flying sand cloud.

"If you are looking for the Goddess Bastet then she is right here with me." Adrian stated as the time for Soul Keep has ended.

Charon suddenly appeared behind Adrian and opened his casket. The Goddess Bastet came out of the casket and is unharmed. The smiles of the members of the Temple of Bastet could be seen beaming as their goddess is actually safe. They thought that the guest that their goddess invited actually just left him to be captured.

"You blasted Demon!" The Sand Witch Arahas stated as her rage suddenly overtook her mind.

The very sand in the desert below them suddenly started to swirl and create sand tornadoes. Numerous sand tornadoes started to converge towards their direction as the Sand Witch Arahas wants to kill them because of her embarrassment. She no longer cares if the Goddess Bastet is barely hanging onto life as long as she could kill Adrian right now.

"Sirius use Samael's Domain." Adrian commanded as Sirius issued a howl.

The world suddenly got dyed in a darker shade despite being the middle of the day. The Sand Witch thought nothing of it and controlled the Sand Tornadoes to kill Adrian but all she hit were illusions. She could not believe that she did not hit anything because she was the Sand Witch. She should not be fooled by illusions in the desert because she controls the very desert themselves.
