"Why has been my life a living hell? Am I really born under an unlucky star?" The vessel of Apophis, Thueban, thought as she stifled her cries of desperation since she wanted to live.
She had always thought that she brings misfortune unto others as her parents were killed but she was still alive. All the slaves in the mines were killed and she was still alive as well. It seems that the ones that killed the slaves were looking for someone, but she does not want to take any chances as they might kill her as well.
There could be a chance that they were looking for her, but she did not want to take the chance. They might be looking for her in order to kill her as well. She wanted to pray but she knows full well that the gods do not even look at her way as she is always unlucky.
"It seems that the person that we are searching for is hiding like a rat." The Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora stated as she released some small balls of flesh that turn into small creatures.
"Careful what you say, witch! That is the vessel of our master." The followers of Apophis stated.
"Oh! Please! Your master has yet to possess the vessel. That is just a walking meat sack until your master gets into it." The Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora stated.
"Careful Edora. You know that the western continent temples are zealots. They will attack you if you are not respectful to their deity." Grandmaster Lason stated.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust as the group of the Followers of Apophis are searching, a sudden rush of loud screams echoed inside the cave. The followers of Apophis that were keeping the entrance hidden are now screaming as they came deeper inside the cave. The Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora could not believe that those fools are causing a ruckus when they need to have their senses heightened for searching.
"What is the problem?" One of the leaders of the followers of Apophis asked one of the people that came down.
"Intrud…" The follower stated before a hole is suddenly pierced on his stomach.
A spear that looked like a thorny rose suddenly pierced the stomach of the follower. A group of twenty people came inside the cave as sounds of battle echoed inside of it. It seems that the expert force of the Briar Rose guild has come to the mines when they heard of the news.
"How did they reach here!?" The head of the followers of Apophis questioned.
"They came at us as if they already knew that we were here." One of the followers of Apophis stated.
"If none of you left a pile of corpses in our wake then this would have been discreet!" The head of the followers of Apophis stated as she looked angrily at the two demigods.

A few minutes before the Briar Rose guild raided the mines, Frey was flying around with her mount as she held the scale. She was focusing on whether the scale gets a reaction or not, but she suddenly stopped when she sensed the stench of death in the horizon. As a Valkyrie, they are considered Judges of Death as they also have some connections to death due to the Goddess Freyja being a minor goddess of death.
Frey descended towards the ground, and she suddenly saw the scale of Apophis reacting to something. The scale was glowing a faint red which means that the vessel could potentially be in the location that she is currently in. Frey did not immediately land on the ground where the signal is coming from but alerted all of her allies.
In just three minutes, all of the Briar Rose guild elite members gathered at the entrance of the mine. Although, all of them already saw a gruesome scene even before entering the cave as they saw bodies of numerous beings scattered about. Some had their faces dissolved, some are sliced into pieces while some are unrecognizable.
Just as they were about to enter the mines, the Briar Rose guild suddenly saw the Followers of Apophis. The guild was sure that the beings they encountered at the entrance were Followers of Apophis because of the distinctive snake tattoo on their bodies. Without even giving a signal, Frey suddenly charged towards the followers and killed them with her spear.
The blood of the followers of Apophis are absorbed by the thorns of the spear as the red roses became deeper in color. Frey charged inside while all of the guild members of Briar Rose followed behind her. Frey slaughtered those that are in her way while the Briar Rose guild cleaned up after the ones that Frey is not able to kill.
Frey did not even know what came over him, but she felt the sorrow of all the poor souls that have been in these mines. She could feel the anguish of the dead that were killed just because they were powerless. The inner Valkyrie within her just screamed out as she rampaged and killed the Followers of Apophis blocking her way.

Frey did not know when, but she suddenly encountered two beings that are immensely powerful inside the mines. She believed that they are demigods because she has encountered beings of the same level of power as them when she was with the other Valkyries. She is confident that she could handle one as long as she is prepared but that is the caveat. She is not prepared to go against a demigod and now she has to go against two.
The guild leader of the Briar Rose guild also knew that they cannot go against two demigods even with Frey with them. The two demigods are also not alone because there are still Followers of Apophis with them. They are now certain that these two demigods are cooperating with the Followers of Apophis to search for the vessel.
The guild leader of the Briar Rose guild immediately sent the coordinates of their location to Equinox. She hopes that the guild leader of the Pantheon guild would be able to even the fight. Just as both groups were about to clash, they suddenly heard a high-pitched cry of resistance from a dark corner of the mines.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe small flesh critters that the Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora created has managed to find the vessel of Apophis, Thueban. She tried to flick off the small flesh critters but all of them stuck to her body and started to mold into flesh ropes that bound the vessel so that she will not escape. A lot of flesh critters gathered to her and started to cover her whole body.
As soon as Thueban came to them, the scales of Apophis glowed in an intense red which signified that she is the vessel that they have been looking for. Thueban stretched out her arms as if trying to signal that she needed help before she was covered up completely like a cocoon by the flesh critters. A brief silence suddenly entered the area, but it is soon shattered when Frey tried to make her move.
"I am sorry, pretty girl. That will not do!" The Witch of Flesh and Carnage Edora stated as she suddenly parried Frey's spear with her flesh blade.
"Get her! She is the vessel!" Frey shouted as she suddenly burst into rainbow-colored lights.
The elite team of the Briar Rose guild sprang into action as they tried to reach the vessel of Apophis. They were unsuccessful as poisonous miasma suddenly blocked their way. Grandmaster Lason made sure that no one from the other side will get the vessel. They are now in control of the vessel but that does not mean they can get her out as the exit is blocked by the Briar Rose guild members.
"I guess I need to take this seriously or else I will not get paid. Come out, my lovelies!" Grandmaster Lason stated as he threw out three flasks with green colored liquid.
As soon as the three flasks shattered upon hitting the ground, the bright green liquid inside suddenly started to grow. Three Plasma Golems are suddenly created on the spot as a powerful force by Grandmaster Lason. Each of these Plasma Golems are expensive to create but the blood of the vessel of Apophis is much more important to Grandmaster Lason.
"Create a path!" Grandmaster Lason commanded as the three Plasma Golems became larger and melted anything that gets in their way.
"Winter's Wind!" One of the mages of the Briar Rose guild casted as a blast of cold air and ice swept across the three Plasma Golems.
She wanted to either slow down or freeze the Plasma Golems as they are weak to the cold. What she did not expect is that the cold did not even bother them. The three Plasma Golems' bodies suddenly mutated or changed to become something akin to magma.
