Chapter 881: A Play

The Rose School of Thought demigod, who was hiding in the shadows, wore

a hooded black robe and a golden mask with red and black patterns

smeared across it. His figure couldn't be made out, but he was

definitely not short, standing at a height of 1.8 meters.

He used the Marauder pathway's Sealed Artifact to steal Tutanssess II's

sarcophagus, placing it before him. Immediately, his body phased away

and drew out an extended form as though he had turned into a thick,

long, and soft rope.

This transparent and nearly ethereal "rope" quickly bound the heavy

sarcophagus in a bid to bring it into the spirit world.

At this moment, a strong gust of wind sounded in the Rose School of

Thought demigod's ears. They clashed in the air, forming an

explosive-like stir.

Boom!

Tutanssess II's golden sarcophagus was sent flying as the transparent

"rope" around it unfurled, shrinking back into a humanoid form.

This Rose School of Thought demigod floated diagonally downwards in an

uncontrollable manner before turning into a wraith, no---an evil

spirit's form. He allowed the intense winds to blow through his body

without making any additional movements.

He saw eddies in the air swirl up rapidly as an unrestrained hurricane

suddenly appeared, sweeping up the rocks, gravel, trash, and parts of

the harbor's roof into the air. Even the carriage which had been

autonomously moving before flew up because of its proximity. It was torn

into pieces amidst the strong winds.

Seemingly lucky, but in fact an expected outcome, the shadows where the

Rose School of Thought demigod was hiding didn't have any Loen soldiers

and was far from the main path.

The lady in the black evening gown and crown of thorns was obstructed by

the hurricane as her body involuntarily wavered backward. She was unable

to immediately rush to the golden sarcophagus that had been thrown up

into the air, and she could only use her momentum to turn her body

sideways, casting her gaze to a warehouse that stood far away outside

the dock district.

Immediately after that, she turned her head to look at the Rose School

of Thought demigod because he wasn't affected by the hurricane.

"Confinement!" The lady who was also wearing a golden mask raised her

left hand and grabbed at her enemy's figure within her sights.

The Rose School of Thought demigod had formidable spiritual intuition.

As he sensed the danger with the help of his spiritual intuition, he did

a Mirror Blink ahead of time, leaping onto a piece of glass about eighty

meters away.

At this moment, the hurricane seemed to stabilize itself and rapidly

calmed down.

Pa! Pa! Pa! The items that had been swept up fell to the

ground, including the golden sarcophagus that contained Tutanssess II.

Bang!

It slammed open a crater as it completely broke apart after suffering

the wrath of the hurricane.

The lid at the top flew up, scattering the gold and gems that were

sealed in the top two layers of the sarcophagus as burial items.

Then, the lower level of the sarcophagus tumbled a few times, dropping

golden boxes and jade containers that stored the desiccated organs.

A corpse that was bound in yellowish-brown cloth tumbled out. Its

surface was covered in a dark red, oily liquid.

This was none other than the mummy created after Tutanssess II passed

away. It was extremely thin, and its face had a golden mask with

patterns covering it just like the mask worn by the demigod from the

Rose School of Thought. Embedded in its eye sockets were two abnormally

pure onyx gems.

The moment the mummy appeared, the surroundings seemed to dim. The

sarcophagus's main body stopped as dark red liquid flowed out of it,

soaking the nearby soil.

When the Rose School of Thought demigod with the Marauder pathway's

Sealed Artifact saw this scene, he was first enraged before he thought

of something. The look in his eyes turned into pleasant surprise.

His figure vanished from the glass fragment, phasing into the two onyx

"eyeballs" of Tutanssess II. Then, he possessed the mummy and attempted

to pull it into the spirit world!

Suddenly, he sensed that the mummy in his Evil Spirit Vision had

vanished.

Simultaneously, the Tutanssess II mummy with a slanted golden crown on

its head suddenly bounced up, turning its onyx-embedded face towards the

only lighthouse in Pritz Harbor.

This Pharaoh, which had been dead for centuries, produced an inhuman cry

from its throat. Bound with yellowish-brown bandages, it freed its

shriveled leg, strode and ran off!

It seemed to be running towards freedom, but it had forgotten one thing.

It was just a corpse. It should be lying down in silence.

Tap! Tap! Tap! The Tutanssess II mummy finished accelerating

just as it began.

Upon seeing this, the lady with the crown of thorns raised her right

palm and aimed at the mutated mummy.

"All the dead will receive their eternal peace," she said a few words in

ancient Hermes.

Bang!

The Tutanssess II mummy exerted strength in its legs as it leaped up,

jumping into another direction, escaping the region that would make it

enjoy its eternal rest, doing so in a way that didn't adhere to a

zombie's agility.

Further away, the black-haired, golden-eyed man, who was pursuing

Mahmosi, narrowed his eyes as his ring once again emitted a crystalline

beam of light.

His figure teleported in front of the mummy as he attempted to stop the

deceased from moving away.

However, Tutanssess II changed directions once again, charging out from

a different angle.

It kept changing its direction, as though its goal was to approach the

lighthouse by following an irregular route!

Mahmosi's heart stirred as his body suddenly vanished, flashing onto a

piece of glass not far from the mummy.

He used this as a springboard and finally appeared in the two onyx in

Tutanssess II's eye sockets!

Although the Loen military's demigod had restricted Possession, the

Highlands Kingdom's Pharaoh was no ordinary item. It had some

spirituality remaining!

Seeing his partner succeed, the demigod with the Marauder pathway Sealed

Artifact didn't hesitate to extend his black-gloved left hand, aimed it

at the lady in the evening gown, and gripped his hand into a fist before

turning it half a circle.

The lady immediately felt her thoughts go adrift for a second. Following

that, she was bound tightly by her own gown. Almost at the same time,

the Loen soldier far away on the warehouse rooftops found it difficult

to control their rifles as they aimed in her direction and pulled their

triggers.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The steel monsters with thick cannons also unleashed their cannonballs

at the lady.

The golden-eyed demigod didn't attempt to save his partner. Instead, he

looked at Tutanssess II's mummy which had come to a stop because of

Mahmosi's possession. He gripped his right hand into a fist and waved it

abruptly.

"Execution!"

A look of joy flashed past his eyes because it didn't matter if the

mummy died again, but Mahmosi couldn't afford that!

Elsewhere, just as the bullets and cannonballs were to hit the lady,

they suddenly slowed down as though they had sunken into a quagmire

formed of air. They were repelled by a power that stemmed from laws.

On the lady's head, the crown of thorns lit up suddenly, using up more

than half of the accumulated "ocean of light."

The hooded Rose School of Thought demigod immediately discovered this as

he vanished from a location far away from it, as though he was

fundamentally wiped away. This also meant that he had "arrived" in front

of the lady and saw her raise her right hand.

Gathered within her right hand was pure condensed light. They

transformed into a blazing spear that had two pure white wings sweep out

at its tip, enveloping the spearhead like an angel's embrace.

The Rose School of Thought demigod's eyes widened immediately as he

heard the footsteps of death. He attempted to use Mirror Blink to leap

away, but he found that his surroundings were sealed by the pure white

wings.

An intense sense of fear surged within him and inundated his reason,

making him abandon his resistance towards his roots to his being and

strength.

At this moment, a shrieking wail sounded as the lady's eyes temporarily

turned turbid.

The blazing spear in her right hand deviated to the side as she failed

to maintain its stability. It collapsed into a gorgeous blast of light

as it was swept up in the air like a hurricane.

And in the vicinity of the Tutanssess II mummy, Mahmosi had stopped his

possession. Beside him, a dirty doll fell to the ground.

The doll's chest had a tear that nearly penetrated it.

It stood up and its eyeless face seemed to come to life, turning

abnormally warped and gruesome. It continuously wailed with a shrieking

tone, causing the nearby Loen golden-eyed demigod to feel an invisible

hand grabbing at his neck as he kicked and struggled in midair.

It was because of this doll's existence that Mahmosi wasn't "Executed."

Likewise, the other Rose School of Thought demigod wasn't struck by the

blazing spear.

When the latter saw this, he immediately used Mirror Blink to approach

the Tutanssess II mummy that was still focused on moving in the

direction of the lighthouse. He planned on using this opportunity to

join forces with Mahmosi to achieve the goal of their operation.

At this moment, the lady in the evening gown erased the distance,

appearing directly above them. The crown of thorns on her head emitted

the purest of light.

She pressed down with her right hand and said, "This place will have the

mysterious weakened and the real strengthened!"

Just as she said that, the blood-stained doll immediately lost its

expression and stopped shrieking. The golden-eyed demigod from the Loen

military finally had a chance to catch a breather. He forcefully pulled

away the hexed hand that was grappling his throat.

From that moment, their demigod powers rapidly declined as attacks that

stemmed from reality were rapidly boosted.

This also meant that the Loen soldiers at the top of the warehouse and

the steam chariot that was slowly approaching on its treads were the

victors in this battle!

To the Loen army, this was a situation where their advantage was

extremely amplified!

Mahmosi and the other Rose School of Thought demigod immediately

reacted. One of them tried to possess the mummy, while the other

attempted to pick up the eyeless doll. They planned on escaping before

their strength decreased to a certain threshold.

Of course, the lady with the evening gown and the golden-eyed demigod

couldn't allow the enemy to do as they wished, but just as they were

about to take action, a light streaked into the sky and exploded into

dreamy fireworks.

Right on the heels of that, the two demigods felt their spiritual

perception trigger simultaneously as they looked into opposite

directions.

A hand wearing a transparent glove reached out from the void beside

Tutanssess II's golden sarcophagus, grabbing a handful of soil that was

soaked with dark red liquid.

The liquid was a mixture of Tutanssess II's brain matter and bodily

fluids. It was a ritualistic material used to maintain its spirituality,

and the latter contained its blood!

Mahmosi and the Rose School of Thought demigod, who wielded the Sealed

Artifact also looked over, and they happened to see a figure wearing a

formal suit and top hat appear.

This figure was bending his back to pick up the soil soaked with dark

red liquid.

During this process, he kept his right hand to his left breast, as

though he was bowing towards the demigods. Then, maintaining this pose,

he looked up to reveal his metal-gray masked face before rapidly fading

away into nothingness.
