"learn."
After saying that, Shepsuna spread her arms and murmured softly.
"The eternal soul rests in the mausoleum..."
In the whisper, Shepsuna opened her hands, and then in the vast surrounding environment, countless illusory things materialized out of thin air.
Long lanterns burning with dim flames were lit up in the air everywhere, tall obelisks were arranged in neat rows, various statues with their hands folded on their chests stood everywhere, heavy sarcophagi were placed on the solemn stone platforms, and the thick stone pillars were engraved with circles of murals and wild ancient texts.
This was a scene of an underground palace inside a super-large mausoleum, which was now being displayed on the vast earth of flesh and blood in the form of a semi-transparent projection. This... was the result of Shepsuna channeling the projections of the pharaohs' tombs on the scene.
The spirits of the ancient pharaohs from the Second Age, although they possess extraordinary powers of the gold level, are incomplete. As spirits that have been stranded in the world for more than 7,000 years, they can only exert the greatest and most complete power of gold inside their sleeping tombs with their own mummified remains as a support.
In addition, whether they are using curses as a medium to project external power or simply traveling as souls, their power will be greatly reduced to varying degrees.
After Shepsuna channeled the souls of the pharaohs, she also channeled their mummies as a support. However, each of their tombs was too large, and they were all giant physical buildings that were not spiritual bodies. It was basically impossible to channel them directly. Therefore, Shepsuna could only settle for the second best and channeled the projections of the tombs, transforming the surrounding environment into a spiritual field of extremely high standards.
However, according to the current situation, even the projection of the mausoleum can effectively enhance the power of the current pharaohs and allow the pharaohs to almost reproduce their most perfect state.
After the huge projection of the mausoleum appeared on the scene, Hafdal felt that his power had reached a new level. He glared at the red wolves that were attacking him from all directions, and then launched a curse based solely on the information he gained from one glance.
"die!"
Hafdal spread out his two withered arms, and then countless evil words lit up on his arms. Then, between his outstretched palms, dozens of phantoms of wolf heads appeared.
The next moment, the dim light in Hafdal's eyes brightened, and he clenched his hands suddenly, crushing the virtual image of the demon wolf in his palms. In an instant, the heads of those roaring red wolves exploded at the same time, and large pieces of blood, brain matter, flesh and other contents were ejected in the explosions, splashing all over the sky.
With one breath, all the red wolves were instantly killed. However, before the bodies of the red wolf derivatives fell, new heads grew rapidly from their broken necks. The red wolves that recovered from the "near death" process let out even more terrifying roars, which were countless times louder than before they were "near death" and attacked the pharaohs at a speed close to the gold level.
"Weak!"
With another wave of his hand, Hafdal once again released the Curse of Weakness. All of a sudden, the red wolves, whose original explosive power was close to that of gold, slowed down drastically, and their movements were seriously delayed. They were completely unable to launch a surprise attack on the pharaohs.
Seeing the huge red wolves slowing down, Hafdal looked around and glared at them again, then he opened his palms and condensed the heads of the red wolves on his palms.
"Die again!"
When Hafdal crushed the phantom in his hand, the dozen or so red wolves that had been waiting for the pharaohs to attack exploded again just as their heads grew back. Amidst the flying blood and blood, the red wolves that had lost their heads again fell down one after another and did not stand up again.
The red wolves did not let the land of flesh and blood show any signs of disappearing. As the land of flesh and blood churned, many arms grew out and stretched out to grab the headless corpses of the red wolves, dragging them back to devour them again. At the same time, more red wolf heads grew on the land of flesh and blood, baring their fangs at the pharaohs. In addition to the red wolf eggs, many more things were also bred on the land of flesh and blood.
Just as huge red wolves were growing out of the flesh and blood again, huge and fat tumors burst out from behind the red wolves, and countless tiny flies and insects flew out from the bursting tumors, dancing around in the sound of my buzzing. In addition to these tumors, countless thick and soft worm tubes also grew out of the flesh and blood, and after twisting and turning for a while, they aimed at the pharaohs.
Afterwards, when the newly grown red wolves charged again, densely packed flying insects followed like a wave, and the worm tubes in the back also began to spew out streams of gray-green thick gas, which quickly flowed towards the pharaohs.
Needless to say, these gases were plagues that could infect and corrode spiritual bodies. These plagues were also carried by countless flying insects. There were so many of these flies and insects that were filled with deadly germs that they formed a huge black mass that blocked out all the red wolves that were attacking in coordination with them.
For a moment, these flying insects completely concealed the shapes of the red wolves, and the chaotic spiritual fluctuations they carried also seriously interfered with Hafdal's perception. Unable to obtain information as a medium, Hafdal could no longer curse high-risk targets like the red wolves. All he could curse were those densely packed flying insects that were flying all over the sky. But what was the point of cursing these things?
Just as the coalition forces composed of the plague breath, red wolves, and swarms of flying insects were about to launch an attack against the pharaohs, changes occurred in the sky. At some point, thick dark clouds covered the dark sky, blocking the light of the stars and the moon. Amid the thunder of the controlled riot, extremely rare heavy rain in the desert had poured down, and the dense rain fell on the flesh and blood land, further reducing the perception and visibility on the scene.
In this rainstorm, eight giant water snakes made purely of water poked their heads out from the clouds and gazed at the battlefield below. They opened their huge mouths one after another, and shot out thick and surging streams of water at high speed below.
The water snake spears in the sky, the strong red wolves, the deadly fungus mist and swarms of flying insects, so many attacks came at the same time against the pharaohs, it was impossible for Hafdar alone to resist it, but fortunately, the other pharaohs were already prepared.
While the red power was creating clouds and rain in the sky and hatching flying insects and giving birth to red wolves on the flesh and blood land, the Pharaoh known as Taharka silently took out a small straw scroll from his sleeve. He opened the scroll and whispered twice, and then a magic circle appeared on the scroll, and a ball of faint soul fire emerged from the magic circle.
Then, Taharka stared at the faint soul fire and murmured in ancient words.
"The fortress of the Shadow Kingdom... the hero of the Dark People... the chosen one of the Lord of the Night, Baybokach... Aidan Devin, transcend the long time and revive with my power..."
As Taharka chanted, a dark red light enveloped the floating soul fire, and then the dark red light surged. After the light faded, the soul fire had disappeared from the spot, and was replaced by a standing figure.
That was a strange humanoid creature, about 1.9 meters tall, with dark and deep skin all over his body. He had obvious masculine features, very long limbs, three-dimensional organs, yellow eyes with vertical pupils, ears that were pointed compared to humans, gray hair tied into a braid and draped behind his back, and he wore a strange close-fitting leather armor, which had incomprehensible mysterious runes in many places.
"Following our agreement..."
Looking at the humanoid creature called Aidan Devin that appeared in front of him, Taharka murmured, and after listening to him, Taharka nodded silently, and then looked at the crisis coming from all directions.
Then, Aidan Devin waved his hand, and the various rune stones on his body lit up. A violent hurricane rolled up around the pharaohs out of thin air, and swirled wildly. These violent storms immediately swept away all the flying insects that were attacking from the sky, and the dark green plague bacteria mist that was surging over was also blown away by such a fierce storm. These winds contained countless tiny wind blades, and the insects that were swept into them were finally cut into pieces.
All of a sudden, the red wolves hiding in the swarm of flying insects and fungal mist showed up. The countless sharp wind blades in the storm cut through their bodies mercilessly, leaving countless wounds and releasing a huge amount of plasma. The red wolves were completely slowed down by the huge amount of wind blades.
After they went to take cover, the red wolves were completely exposed to Hafdal. Without hesitation, he cursed all of the new batch of red wolves with a headshot, and then cursed them all a second time after the corpses were revived. For a moment, blood mist filled the entire field.
While the fierce battle was going on on the land of flesh and blood, in the sky, countless water guns shot out by giant water snakes were about to hit the pharaohs' positions. At this moment, Setut stared at the sky, and as he stared with a faint light jumping in his eyes, the temperature around those water guns dropped rapidly, and these water guns suddenly turned into heavy ice guns, which fell straight down from the sky and hit the land of flesh and blood.
Seeing the water gun being dissolved like this, the eight giant snakes that were circling and extending from the clouds in the sky roared in unison, and then pounced on the pharaohs below. Seeing this, Setut used cold air to continue to solidify those water snakes, but these water snakes were too huge, and the clouds were constantly providing them with water. After the outer shells of these giant water snakes were frozen, they could immediately use twisting to shake off the frozen part while the inside was not frozen yet, and then let the water snakes continue to attack.
Faced with the huge water snake that could not be frozen by conventional means, Setut simply stretched out his finger and pointed at the sky. Then, a beam of cold white light shot out from his fingertips and pierced the sky.
Waving his arms, Setut's light beam swept across the eight giant water snakes in the sky. After these giant snakes came into contact with the light beam, they were instantly frozen as a whole. In less than a second, they were frozen inside and out. Because there was no "gradual" freezing process, the water snakes had no time and space to reverse. In an instant, the eight water snakes lost their ability to move and turned into eight huge ice sculptures, which disintegrated and fell from the sky, and crashed to the ground with a loud bang.
Afterwards, Setut pointed the freezing beam in his hand directly at the sky and increased its output to make it even bigger. For a moment, the temperature of the environment above the entire land of flesh and blood dropped sharply. The scattered raindrops from the heavy rain solidified into extremely sharp icy needles, which fell straight down from the sky and densely pierced the flesh of the land of flesh and blood. After piercing the land of flesh and blood, these icy needles began to spread the cold air in them, solidifying the blood circulating inside the land of flesh and blood.
For a moment, the entire land of flesh and blood seemed to let out a wail, and dense blood flowers burst out in a violent wriggling. These blood flowers fell directly to the ground not long after solidifying. Large areas of flesh and blood began to become slow and stiff due to the invasion of ice needles. The progress of collecting the red wolf corpses and hatching new flying insect plagues and breeding new red wolves slowed down a lot.
Setut's rain of ice needles immediately sounded the clarion call for the Pharaoh's counterattack. For a moment, Hafdal's eyes looked at more targets besides the Red Wolf, while Taharka took out two different papyrus scrolls from his sleeves and sent out two new souls.
In the distance, Yunina, bathed in scarlet light, continued to erode the virtual world while watching the battle situation on the front line, and couldn't help but sigh.
"They are all decaying creatures that have been dead for thousands of years. I never thought they could still retain such power...
"It seems that there is no way to solve them by ordinary means..."
Yunina murmured this, and then she began to slowly recover some of the divinity of the Cup that was used to erode the virtual world. She knew that if she wanted to defeat the guardians in front of her, she had to use some "unconventional" means compared to the extraordinary people in the present world.
On the other side, above the Pharaohs' positions, Shepsuna, who was doing her best to maintain the existence of the mausoleum, was floating there between her three former colleagues. At the moment, she did not have any more extra strength, so she did not participate in the battle, nor did she watch the battle seriously. Her eyes behind the veil were looking up at the sky above, which was constantly changing due to the influence of extraordinary power, but she was not looking at the sky itself.
At this moment, Shepsuna's gaze seemed to have penetrated the barriers of the world and saw something deeper, including the virtual world that was being continuously eroded by the divinity of the cup.
'The path to the holy land has been revealed, and pilgrims are still searching for the right way...
"After 7,000 years, someone finally came here... Just as the divine master predicted..."
