The players clamored as they did not expect such a thing as they thought that they would not be rewarded for their hard work. Not only was their death penalty waived, but they also earned an experience multiplier boost which is very helpful for them that have a high level. The Goddess Magwayen then raised her conch shell once more as all of the children's spirits were covered in her waters.
"I have done what you have called me for, little one. Visit me in my realm once more when you do not have such hectic duties as I will wait for your stories. To those that have seen me for the first time, remember to treat life as precious and make sure that the innocent does not suffer or else you will be drowning in my waters." The Goddess Magwayen stated as her last sentence was more of a threat than a warning.
The Goddess Magwayen's humanoid form melted into the waters as a huge wave swept across everyone. The players thought that they would be swept away as they even covered themselves, but the waters just passed through them. The huge wave did not swallow them as they were not even dead as it only affected the dead.
The spirit of the children could be seen vanishing when the huge wave reached them as they were directly welcomed into the realm of the Goddess Magwayen. The children did not even look scared but elated as they were now able to rest in peace. The soft smile and the hands waving goodbye from the children made some of the players cry.
The players felt something tugging at their heartstrings as they saw the children pass through the afterlife with a smile. They suddenly forgot how much they suffered in order to help the spirit of the children. Some even forgot to report what happened to their own guilds as this was something that they have never experienced in the game before.
Adrian gave a soft smile as he resisted the urge to cry as he has already experienced this countless times. He might not look affected, but Adrian is one of the people that actually treat Pandemonium as if it is real. He makes sure that he still realizes that this is a game, but he immerses himself in moments like this as he has empathy.
The magic circle that was created to summon the Goddess Magwayen suddenly cracked as all of the souls were no longer there. The fog that rolled over when it was created has dispersed. As soon as the magic circle vanished, something shot towards the sky which made it dark for rain to fall over.
It seems that the Goddess Magwayen did not stop her blessing to just them but also blessed the place. Rain that was extremely scarce in the western continent started to pour in the area. Some plant life could be seen starting to sprout as a result of the direct blessing of the Goddess Magwayen.
"The Goddess Magwayen seem to be in a good mood for her to even use the Rain of Rejuvenation." The Scimitar Anubis stated as this spell is used using divine energy.
"She was able to see genuine and beautiful smiles of children after all. She usually just sleeps in her realm, but she was called to help which she clearly loves. She is one of the goddesses of deaths that love children and protect them dearly." The Mage Anubis stated.
"Did the champion summon the goddess because you know of her disposition?" The Sword Anubis asked as he was curious if Adrian intended to summon the goddess.
"Not really, I just remembered that I was gifted something by a Primordial. I guess we are extremely lucky this time that she was that kind. The other primordial death gods are beings that even I do not want to summon." Adrian stated as he actually thanked his situation for becoming this good.
"But next time, please warn us or give us the time to escape when you do something like that." The Spear Anubis stated which made the others nod in agreement.
"We have done our duty and we are no longer needed here. We thank the champion for summoning us to fight despite us lacking in some areas. It is time for us to return to Limbo as we have more things to do there." The Urn Anubis stated which made some of the perked-up ears of the Anubis Warriors flop.
"Thank you for your help as well. It was me that is lacking as I am not strong enough for all of you to use your great powers." Adrian stated as he opened the gate to Limbo to return the Anubis Warriors.
All of the players bid their farewells to Adrian as they are grateful to him for the things that they received. They would still report everything that they have seen to their respective guilds, but Adrian does not care. He only revealed some cards as the summoning of a goddess cannot be done without preparation.
Adrian looked at his hand as there was actually something on it. A small conch shell could be seen on his palm after he opened it. It seems that the Goddess Magwayen gave him another one as she deemed that he did not use it for his own benefit. Adrian smiled as this small conch shell is basically something like a wish that the goddess could do for him which is an item that anyone would want to possess.
[You have sent hundreds of thousands of souls to the afterlife.]
[Your Nether Gauge / Aether Gauge has increased by 10.]
[Your Nether Gauge / Aether Gauge has increased regeneration by 10%.]
Adrian finally received the rewards of his effort as the Shepherd of Lost Souls. When he has time, he would often do his duties to slightly increase his Nether Gauge / Aether Gauge which is a great help to him in battle.
