Chapter 285: Resistance

Late at night, East Tivian.

In the secret room under the Boyle family mansion, the horrifying shadow of a mummy is chanting a secret poem from ancient mythology in a loud voice. The harsh and withered voice echoes in the small secret room. Any living being who hears this information will suffer from severe toxicity, and their body and mind will be tortured to death or even mutated.

In the secret room, Nunot, who was lying on the ground, used all his strength to cover his ears tightly, trying to prevent himself from hearing the voice of the mummy's phantom. Now, unable to stand up, he stared at Nefernis, who was also lying on the ground in the distance, with a look of anxiety on his face.

"Miss... run quickly..."

Nunot shouted weakly, but his voice could not cover the chanting of the mummy's phantom. The evil poems kept drilling into Nefernis's ears, invading her brain, and then... were extracted into spirituality.

"Thank you, Aka..."

Nephnis, unable to speak or even make any expression, felt thankful and grateful in her heart. After praying, she could feel that the evil factors in the poem that affected her mind were being quickly cleared away. She had experienced this feeling before when she read "The Queen's Procession".

After studying mysticism for a period of time, Nefernis knew the current situation very clearly. These forbidden knowledge contained poisons, and the god worshipped by the Rosicrucian, the great Akka, possessed the ability to remove poisons. Now was the time for Akka to respond to her prayers and bestow her with a blessing.

"This undead... made me so weak and wanted to kill me with the poison of knowledge... Although I am fine now thanks to Aka... but I still can't do anything..."

Nephnis thought anxiously in her heart that although she was not harmed by the poison and her life was not in danger, she was still suppressed by the curse and could not move at all. The situation was now in a stalemate.

Just as Nephnis was thinking about what to do next, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her mind.

"Great Aka, please tell Senior Sister Nefernis to show up and ask her to recite the following in her heart from now on...

"I vow to follow this man, practice this principle, explore the hidden paths, and search for the traces of the dead..."

In Nephthy's mind, a spell prayer chanted by Dorothy slowly sounded, and Nephthy was startled.

"This is... Miss Dorothea's voice. Can this spell... help me out of this predicament?"

Nephnis thought so in her heart, and then immediately memorized the spell that Dorothy chanted in her mind. After memorizing it, she began to chant it again in her mind.

"I swear to follow this man..."

On the other side, the mummy's phantom poem finally finished reciting, and when it began to examine the scene proudly, it was suddenly stunned.

The shadow of the mummy looked ahead at Nefernis who was lying on the ground. The dark fire in its eye sockets seemed to have burned even smaller. Even its dry face, which was unable to show any expression, seemed to reveal a hint of astonishment.

"How is it possible... as an ordinary mortal, after listening to the entire "Poem of Repentance for the Dead", I can still be alive..."

Looking at Nefernis on the ground in front of him, the mummy shadow murmured, and the ghost fire staring at Nefernis became even deeper at this time, as if trying to see through the secrets of Nefernis.

"Who is it? Who is protecting you, little Boyle... Who dares to go against me, Prince Hafdar of the Tomb of the Sands! Show yourself!"

The shadow of the mummy seemed to be roaring and said that this dead being from ancient times had clearly realized that there was a mysterious power that it could not detect protecting Nefernis. It could not confirm the identity of this power, so it said this angrily.

However, the shadow of the mummy at the scene was Nefernis, who began to move slowly on the ground.

"I wish to embark on the path of 'silence'. The road ahead is cloudy. I pray here, asking the truth within, the great Akasha, to clear the fog for me and show me the way..."

Muttering in her heart, Nefernis urged her weak body to stand up with difficulty. As the spiritual energy of "Silence" in her body was consumed, Nefernis was officially promoted to an Extraordinary, an apprentice of "Silence", and a psychic.

As a psychic, Nefernis had a certain degree of adaptability to the "silence" curse. With the support of an effective life-eating talisman in her body, Nefernis was finally able to move under this powerful curse. Under the gaze of the mummy's phantom, she stood up despite the curse.

Then, with staggering steps, Nefernis walked to the center of the secret room amid the cursing of the mummy's phantom, and once again clenched the scepter that was inserted on the stone base, and then injected the spiritual power of "Enlightenment" accumulated in her body into it. After being re-infused with spiritual power, the purple gem inlaid on the scepter flickered slightly, emitting a faint light.

With the infusion of spiritual energy, the scepter's color function was reactivated, and the curse protection for the Boyle family was restored. Not long after the spiritual energy was injected, Nephnis immediately felt the feeling of powerlessness that was suppressing her body rapidly disappearing, and she was finally able to stand up straight.

Nefernis's body quickly returned to normal, but in contrast, the shadow of the mummy began to become blurred and distorted, gradually becoming unclear. As the manifestation of the curse, its existence was about to disappear after the curse was resisted.

"Who is it! Who is against me! Who dares to protect Boyle... I will curse you... When my strength... recovers... I will make... you pay..."

The shadow of the mummy gradually dissipated amidst the constant angry curses, and the distorted voice gradually became blurred. Finally, the shadow of the mummy completely disappeared from the secret room in its unwillingness and resentment, and the feeling of powerlessness on Nephnis' body was completely eliminated.

"call……"

After sighing while holding the scepter, Nefernis glanced around and finally looked at Nunot who was struggling to stand up, then quickly ran forward to support him.

"Grandpa Nunot, are you okay..."

"Ahem... ahem... it's okay, it's okay, miss. I'm just old now, and I can't handle this kind of curse for a while... go upstairs now... drink some water..."
