Chapter 1349 Buy As Much Time II
"Yes. It is related in a way." Adrian replied.
"Were you not with Cairo in the western continent?" Levin Cloud asked as he knew that the two of them were on a mission in the western continent.
"We were there. You could also say that we were the ones that triggered the world quest, but it would have been triggered regardless if we were actually there. We just hastened the process a little bit." Adrian stated but he softly muttered the last few sentences as one could say that he was the reason for the world quest.
"Spill it!" Peridot stated with a smile that is not a smile.
Adrian could smell that he would be in trouble which is why he said everything related to what happened. The core guild members could be seen nodding along with what Adrian is saying as if they expected it to happen. The new guild members are shocked beyond belief as they were being handed information that even the top guilds would put NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements) on.
"Is that everything?" Peridot asked with a fierce glare.
"You could say that is everything for now. The other part of the quest will be stated after we go to the Kingdom of the Sun." Adrian stated.
"You all heard the guild leader! All the guild members are given one hour to prepare and get back to the guild house. Prepare everything that you need as we will go to the western continent. Are we clear?!" Levin Cloud stated with a clear tone as he showed his prestige as the vice guild leader.
"Yes, sir!" The guild members replied as they went to prepare for the transfer.
"Oh! You are really like a vice guild leader now!" Adrian stated in amazement, but Levin Cloud only sighed.
"You are the guild leader, but you rarely show your face in the guild house. Some of the guild members are even doubting if you are a ghost or something. Make sure to come back at least once a week to see the state of the guild members present in the guild house." Levin Cloud stated as he was the one handling the administrative affairs when Adrian was not here, and he is almost not there.
"Sorry about that. I will do so from now on." Adrian stated as he slouched a bit as he felt bad about that.
"Well, you going to adventures and doing your best is also not a bad thing because it motivates the guild members. Still, show your face from time to time." Levin Cloud stated.

After an hour, the guild members all returned but Adrian noticed something. He could see that the guild members become less than the original numbers. He asked Levin Cloud what happened and the latter told him that they quit.
"Why did they quit?" Adrian asked.
"The ones that quit were mostly the ones under level 150 that we got. It seems that they do not want to endure the training that your sister is giving them. That is not a problem though as it made managing the guild easier since we are now only sixty people in total." Levin Cloud stated.
"I see. If they quit, then make sure that you put them in the blacklist." Adrian stated in a rather cold tone.
"I already did. I have known you since childhood and you are not one that gives second chances easily." Levin Cloud replied.
Levin Cloud knows that Adrian is not disheartened with the decrease in members as they already expected it. He is disappointed in them because those that quit were the ones that were given the special chance. They must have thought that they were given it because the guild was kind but it was also a test whether they could rise up to the challenge.
"If the provisionary members perform well for this quest then we shall upgrade them to permanent members." Adrian stated as he created the portal that leads to the Kingdom of the Sun.
"If that is what you want." Levin Cloud replied.
"Please form a line and enter the portal. I shall explain what we will really do in the western continent after all of us have been transferred." Adrian stated and the guild members became excited as they entered the portal because some of them have never been to another continent.

A total of thirty bodies could be seen passed out as they were in front of the Sun God Ra. It was an unimaginable scene for Adrian and the others since they did not react like this before. Adrian could more or less guess why this happened and that is the fact that this is the first time that they were affected by the presence of a god.
"To think that they will pass out when they saw me. Am I very horrifying to look at by any chance?" The Sun God Ra asked.
"It is not that. It is the first time that they are in the presence of a god even if you are not fully back in power. Their soul might have suffered a shock by the sudden divine presence they are subjected to. Unlike the others that have already been living with Prince Amun, my guild members are not acclimated to someone having as much divinity as you are yet." Adrian replied as that is the usual reaction for normal humans when facing a god.
There is a reason why the followers of the God Seth bowed down when they felt the presence of their god. Only powerful people with wills can withstand the sight of a god even if they are descended on their vessel.
