Carl must slay the naga princess!

If he doesn’t, his best friend—the talking cat-wizard Princess Donut—will die instead.

But Carl and his team have a plan.

They track the princess to the god Khepri’s sanctum in the Vanquisher Club and slay the club’s guards with a MacGyver-demonology contraption.

Inside the sanctum, though, Carl is surprised: The beetle-headed attendant supervising the insect banquet within is Khepri himself, god of Rebirth and the Sunrise, summoned as a trap by the devious princess.

As a level-250 god, Khepri will slay Carl easily—disaster looms!
