"We could not defeat the enemy, Champion Equinox. We apologize for our incompetence despite you summoning us." The Scimitar Anubis stated.
"I was also unable to kill him when I have been given the chance to. I am also lacking in some aspect as it seems that I cannot defeat a descended god at my current power as well." Adrian stated as he actually used all his strength earlier to even cut off that arm.
Adrian looked at his hands and he could still feel the extremely hard resistance that he felt earlier. He thought that his scythe would glide like butter as he used all of his essences, but it was dense. The only time that there was least resistance was when he has almost cut through everything.
"That is to be expected, Champion Equinox. You are yet to even step at the strength of a demigod, yet you can already battle against descended gods. Others like you are quite rare in the mortal realm as the only one I know that is like you would be the Envoy of the Twin Gods." The Mage Anubis stated.
"We agree." The Sword Anubis and the Spear Anubis stated but the conversation was ended by the statement of the Urn Anubis.
"I know that you all are praising the champion, but the souls of the children are weak. I am afraid that they would not be able to traverse the door to the afterlife." The Urn Anubis stated as he pointed at the pale souls of the children floating about.
Adrian could see the innocent souls of the children enjoying their freedom as they are no longer trapped. Adrian did not want to admit it, but he could actually hear the anguish and painful screams of the children earlier when he held the barrier stone. In that moment, Adrian immediately shifted his priority to saving the children but the news that the Urn Anubis told him is not great.
"Most of them are already too weak to pass through. They might vanish from existence if they were to pass through the door to the afterlife." The Sword Anubis stated as there was a small number of child spirits that were strong enough to pass through.
"That must not happen, guild master!" One of the shadow unit members stated as she was a dark elf spiritualist.
She could clearly see the faces of the children laughing and wandering about. She was more in tune with the dead because of her race as dark elves are taught the rites of the dead even at a small age. It was not just her that could see the face of the children as they started to manifest in the mortal realm because of the area becoming a hallowed zone.
[The temperature in the area has dropped due to the appearance of numerous ghost children.]
The players that were unable to see the children's spirits earlier can now see them clearly. Some were even playing with the lights earlier only to be slightly scared of the spirit of children suddenly appearing next to them. Some players actually froze as they were afraid of ghosts which made others laugh.
"Is there any way that we can save them? If they cannot pass through the door to the afterlife, then they will vanish from existence. The only reason that they can be this active is due to this place becoming hallowed ground. If they do not ascend, then they also have a small chance of becoming evil spirits." Adrian stated.
"Can you summon the God of Death Abaddon, Champion Equinox? You would be able to save them if the greatest of the gods of the dead were to move." The Urn Anubis stated.
"I can but I will die before all of the souls of children ascends. A full manifestation of the God of Death Abaddon is only possible if there are perfect conditions. If I summoned him when I am also weakened, then the success rate drops to less than 10%." Adrian stated as Paradox gave him the information needed.
"You could use the life of all the people with you as a collateral to summon the God of Death Abaddon. I am sure that they will gladly give you their lives as you were the reason why they have risen from the dead." The Spear Anubis stated as he looked at the players.
The players were shocked upon that statement, but they could also hear the conversation. They actually felt great sadness at the situation of the children as they knew that vanishing means they cannot be reborn. The spiritualists were actually the first ones that volunteered as they wanted the smiles of the children to not fade.
"Even with them sacrificing, the God of Death Abaddon will only manifest for ten seconds. We would need at least two minutes for all the souls of the children to pass through." Adrian stated as he knew his own limitations.
"The God of Death Abaddon might be too much for you but maybe one of the primordial gods of death can do so." The Urn Anubis stated but the other Anubis Warriors looked at him as if he was crazy.
"Are you extremely tired, brother?" The Mage Anubis asked.
"Will those gods even answer the champion's call? They are ones that do not like to be disturbed in their domains. Even the God Kings of the Underworld dare not to disturb them." The Sword Anubis stated.
"They are the only gods of death that are able to handle such a delicate process and will not kill Champion Equinox from summoning them." The Urn Anubis stated as Adrian could be seen to sigh heavily.
"It seems that we got no choice. We would need to summon one Primordial God of Death to save the soul of the children." Adrian stated as even he did not want to do so as they were extremely finicky. He did not even know if one would even answer his call.
