Chapter 540: Soul Splitting
In the west of Adus, on the wilderness outside the city of Karnak.
The endless desert wasteland was filled with smoke at this time. The frontline positions that originally belonged to the Savior soldiers were now covered with tons of bomb craters. There were criss-crossing trenches and scattered soldiers' bodies around the bomb craters. These soldiers' bodies basically belonged to the Savior armed forces. They were either shot to death or blown to pieces by the explosion. There were flames burning in many places, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt oil.
A large group of revolutionary soldiers were currently carrying out a simple battlefield cleanup on this position. War supplies were being taken away and piled aside. The wounded and sick, both friendly and enemy, were being treated. A large number of surrendered prisoners were being driven away and stripped of their equipment. All these signs indicated that the battle that had just taken place here was over, and the result of the battle was a great victory for the revolutionary army as the attacking party.
With the support of absolute superiority in manpower and firepower, it didn't take long for the Revolutionary Army soldiers to completely sweep away all the outer positions outside Kanak. Without the help of the Undead, the Savior soldiers were completely defeated. The Revolutionary Army cleared all the outer positions of Kanak in a short period of time with almost no casualties. With the command system almost completely out of order, the Savior soldiers couldn't even put up a decent resistance and were captured in large numbers by the attacking Revolutionary Army soldiers.
Dressed in the uniform of a senior officer from the Main Continent, Shadi stood on the devastated battlefield, looking into the distance with a telescope. From where he was now, he could already see the city of Karnak. He was only one step away from winning this battle.
"General, all the outposts that pose a threat to the siege have been eliminated. There is no obstacle to our attack on Karnak. Karnak is already in our hands. We can rest for half a day before launching a general attack." At this time, Adam, an officer under Shadi, came over and reported to Shadi and put forward his own suggestions. After listening to Adam's words, Shadi put down the telescope in his hand and looked at Adam's response.
"There is no need to rest for such a long time. Our army's morale is high now, and we need to make a concerted effort. We can rest for at most half an hour and then continue the attack."
"This... half an hour, isn't this rest time a little too short? Soldiers will easily get tired if they fight continuously." Listening to Shadi's words, Adam said with a worried tone, and Shadi immediately responded with an explanation.
"From the battle situation just now, the enemy fought in a chaotic manner, each fighting on their own without any rules, and collapsed much faster than we expected. I think this should be caused by problems with their command system. There was a problem with the command... There was chaos below, so we were able to fight so easily.
"So we can't wait now. We have to end the battle in one go while they are in chaos. If we wait too long, they will reorganize their command and it will be difficult to fight them. Then we will have to fight street battles. If they arrange their forces properly, they can consume a lot of our troops. Let's take advantage of their chaos now and end it all at once."
Saddi told Adam about his considerations. After listening to Saddi's words, Adam nodded silently, as if he agreed with Saddi's statement. Then he immediately stepped back and began to convey Saddi's orders.
After Adam, Shadi once again looked towards Karnak in the distant desert. As he looked, he focused his attention on the high mountains behind Karnak. After staring at the mountains for a while, he put down the telescope in his hand and spoke to the soul possessed in his body.
"Setut... What do you think of the progress of the members of the Heavenly Judge Cult in the Royal Mausoleum? The sudden lack of leadership in Karnak, could it be related to their actions?"
Shadi questioned the ancient undead that had been accompanying him in this way, but unlike in the past, the ancient undead did not immediately respond to Shadi's words, but remained silent, which made Shadi feel a little surprised for a moment.
"Setut? What's wrong with you Setut?"
Shadi immediately asked about Setut's condition, and Setut slowly spoke after a while of silence.
"Mad man... that mad man... why is he here? It shouldn't be possible... he shouldn't be able to extend his power here..."
In Shadi's heart, Setut murmured in an incredible tone. Listening to Setut's words, Shadi couldn't help feeling confused. He then asked the ancient dead spirit in his body with a serious expression.
"Mad man? What do you mean by crazy? Has the Savior sent any important person here?"
"No... it's not a new lunatic sent by the Savior... it's an old lunatic, a pathetic and hateful old lunatic who has been twisted for thousands of years.
"He is a sinner, a prisoner, a madman, the biggest taboo among people like us..."
…
Tomb of King Rahman, Valley of the Dead Eagles, north of Karnak.
In the vast underground palace of the royal mausoleum, haze spread, black prints appeared, and chills diffused… A huge and terrifying translucent mummy face decorated with countless gold ornaments appeared in the underground palace, staring at the sand monitor lizard in the underground palace with terrifying eyes. At this moment, those black handprints spreading everywhere were rapidly spreading towards the sand monitor lizard. After a while, these black handprints began to continuously cover the sand monitor lizard's body, and gradually covered its entire body. Under the suppression of the black handprints, this huge sand monitor lizard was completely unable to move.
"What's this!"
Located inside the Sand Monitor Lizard, Chabakunka was horrified to find that he was completely unable to control the body of the Sand Monitor Lizard. His own soul and the Wilderness Spirits he summoned were all suppressed at this time, and it felt like he couldn't exert any strength at all. A great panic spread in the hearts of Chabakunka and the Wilderness Spirits under him. Chabakunka could even feel the Wilderness Spirits' bodies trembling. Under the oppression of the huge and terrifying mummy face in front of him, Chabakunka felt that he couldn't even muster the slightest emotion of resistance.
Chabakunka could sense that the terrifying spirit-like existence in front of him was emitting an astonishing resentment and hatred, which made him wonder for a moment whether it was some kind of extremely powerful vengeful spirit, so he summoned up his strength and began to mutter.
"Resentful... resentful soul... this world is not the place for you to stay. Let go of everything and follow the great guidance! Go back!"
Chabakunka used his ability of extradition on the being in front of him, attempting to exile it to the underworld, but his ability was of no use. Instead, the mummy's virtual image spoke in mockery in the ancient Northern Wu language.
"I'm not going anywhere... Even God can't expel me before the Naoki Dynasty is revived from death!"
As it spoke, a burning phantom fire emerged from the painful mummy's virtual image. Then, in the void, two skinny and withered huge, slender, translucent claws, as if they were only found on a charred corpse, appeared out of thin air in the space. Then they grabbed the body of the Sand Giant Lizard and directly grabbed the spirit inside. Chabakunka's spirit was suddenly under pressure.
Afterwards, the black withered arms of the giant lizards that had sunk into the sand began to pull outwards, and not long after, two withered arms pulled out two spirits respectively. They were the lizard-shaped wilderness spirit Sand Tongue and the chicken-shaped wilderness spirit Beak. After being pulled out by the thin black cursed hands, the two wilderness spirits struggled hard, but it was completely useless. After the two cursed hands clenched, the two wilderness spirits were directly crushed, and the wilderness spirits' spiritual bodies turned into wisps of debris and scattered in the air.
After the Spirit of the Wilderness was crushed, the giant sand lizard disintegrated with a loud bang, and poured into the ground as sand. After the sand completely fell, Chabakunka's body appeared. He fell from mid-air with his eyes wide open, and landed on the thick sand.
"You can't hide, Boyle... You can't hide in anything..."
Then, the two withered cursed hands stretched down again and directly grabbed Chabakunka who fell to the ground. Then they pulled two spirits out of Chabakunka's body, one was the soul of Chabakunka himself, and the other was the soul of Morn, who was the object of Chabakunka's dependence. Both of them showed panic expressions on their faces.
Then, the withered curse-hand threw Morn's spirit aside, and then grabbed Chabakunka's spirit with both hands, ready to tear Chabakunka's spirit into pieces. During this tearing, Chabakunka felt an extremely sharp pain from the depths of his soul. He watched his spirit rapidly collapse and his consciousness fell into chaos. After experiencing this immense pain personally, Chabakunka finally understood what he was facing at this moment.
