Chapter 438: Katep's Pyramid

Chapter 438 Katep’s Pyramid

It can be seen that he doesn't care about these, he only cares about his mission.

Li Wei naturally had no objection, but as he walked, he still asked another question in his mind: "Who does this pyramid belong to?"

He had just searched his memory, but unexpectedly found that there was no information about the owner of this place, which was a bit strange.

Because generally speaking, the ancient tomb kings built pyramids not only to store their corpses, but also to display their glory and power to the outside world.

From the outside, this pyramid is at least more than 300 meters high, even if it does not consider the underground. It is obviously not the pyramid of an ordinary king, but there is indeed no relevant record.

The Tomb General was silent, and finally he glanced at the priest behind him.

The priest coughed dryly, and then whispered: "It's Lord Katep."

Li Wei suddenly realized that it was him. No wonder there was no record in history.

Katep, the legendary hero, the leader of the Funeral Cult, the former high priest of the Immortal Emperor Settra, is also known as the oldest and wisest tomb priest.

But such a character is now an exile.

Because the reason why the Tomb Kings chose to be buried in the ground in the first place was because they firmly believed that one day in the future, when the magic was developed enough, or the gods showed mercy, they would be resurrected as living beings.

Unless God takes action, whether or not there is a body at the time of resurrection is a completely different matter.

The high priest, Katep, also confidently assured them that he would try his best to do this, and he would give the Immortal Emperor a golden body.

As a legal profession, there are of course many more ways to extend lifespan than for warriors, so he has a lot of time to complete his goals.

But for a period of time, there were disputes among the kings and constant internal fighting, which seriously consumed the strength of his own camp. Carterp, who was worried about the country and the people, could no longer sit still.

He thought of a good way, which was to find a strong enough person to defeat the others and end the internal fighting.

Then he dragged the Immortal Emperor out of the tomb in the form of a mummy.

Looking at the rotten flesh all over his body, of course the Immortal Emperor gave up, but even in anger, he still maintained a certain degree of reason. Considering the other party's past achievements, he did not kill the other party, but just expelled Kapu

.

And let him find a way to fulfill his original promise, otherwise he will not be allowed to enter any of his own cities.

If the ban is violated, he will not show mercy next time.

So Kapu became an outcast, and he began to search all over the world for various mysterious spells, knowledge or equipment, etc., in order to restore the body of the Immortal Emperor.

The angry Immortal Emperor poured out his anger on the other kings, and it didn't take long to defeat all of them except Khalida.

Khalida considered that the Immortal Emperor only wanted a name and would not care what she wanted, let alone interfere with the affairs of the territory, so she also chose to become a vassal. Katep's wish did come true.

Later, Nagash rebelled several times and turned the entire country into a dead zone. The Immortal Emperor also fought against Nagash and successfully defeated him with the help of other kings.

I don’t know if they were inspired by this, so the Egyptian gods resurrected more mummies and skeleton soldiers.

Those warriors who were resurrected were okay, basically only the word "loyalty" was left in their minds, but the Tomb Kings were also full of resentment. They did not dare to blame the gods, so naturally they could only turn their anger to others.

.

For example, High Priest-Katep.

But he had been expelled a long time ago, and they couldn't beat him even if they wanted to. Naturally, they had no choice but to attack him in other ways.

Discrediting his reputation, or simply making all his past deeds disappear, are common methods, so Li Wei didn't know who the pyramid here belonged to before.

Kapu didn't know whether he wanted to change outsiders' opinions of him through practical actions, or simply to atone for his sins. Even though he was exiled, he still showed up from time to time and did something to help others while traveling around the world.

.

Once any Tomb King is at war with other races, he will run over to help.

And it's a coincidence that usually when the Tomb King has the upper hand, he will never appear.

Once he is at a disadvantage, he will immediately appear as a hero and savior, and use his powerful strength to turn the tide of the battle.

In this case, even if the rescued Tomb King had no good impressions of him at all, he could only pinch his nose and thank him.

Overall, Carter is very smart.

But Li Wei felt that Carter Pu deserved this kind of result. Why did he make such a sure promise in the first place when he was not sure whether he could do something?

The Immortal Emperor was indeed very generous in not killing him on the spot.

I don’t know if there were no more ambushes, but in short, no new undead creatures descended from the sky this time, and Li Wei and the others entered the pyramid very smoothly.

After a quick glance around, Levi discovered that the internal space of this pyramid was slightly wider than he had previously imagined.

It can accommodate about four or five people walking side by side, and the height is about four meters. Maltis can even continue to serve as a cavalryman.

But equally, they also need to be careful about the charge of the opponent's Spirit-Binding Knight.

And there is another difference from what Li Wei had expected before. This place is not solid, but instead has various hollow buildings, and the terrain is also intricate, like a maze.

Fortunately, with Tomb General leading the team, he didn't need to worry about this problem. The other party directly chose an inconspicuous passage and got in first.

Levi also threw over a few protective magics. At least he still needed to take care of the other party before he took him to the core of the pyramid.

They didn't encounter any traps or enemies at first, but as soon as they turned the corner, there was a series of clashing sounds of weapons in front of them.

Levi, who had long been blessed with magic such as dark vision, could clearly see that some warriors holding double swords and wearing heavy armor were fighting fiercely with some guards of the gods.

These enemies look a lot like Tomb Guards, but ordinary Tomb Guards are definitely not that strong.

Tomb General also seemed to have discovered the clue. He immediately shouted angrily and rushed forward himself.

Cindy, Elegy, Maldis and others also joined the battle.

Since the terrain is not spacious, magic is easy to cause accidental damage, so Levi did not use any large-scale magic. He only used magic such as steel restraint or black tentacles to assist, or used the Hammer of Justice to kill one by one.

Then he discovered that these guys just looked like tomb guards, but their actual combat power was far superior, and their equipment was also very good.

On average, they can take at least three hits from him before they are completely killed.

This is definitely the top level among the 5th level troops, almost comparable to the dwarves' Iron Breaker Warriors.

In addition, the opponent directly placed five teams here, so even if Elegy and Cindy were very powerful now, it still took a while to completely kill the opponent.

In the process, Levi also got to see Kerilian's fighting style.

Her Forest Staff can store up to 20 missiles at a time, and if she wants to, she can launch them all within 3 seconds.

Although the average attack power is not high, if they all hit, it is still no problem to kill a level 5 soldier instantly.

After that, the staff will be forced to cool down, and it will be completely unusable for a short period of time. Even if she spends extra mana, it will be useless, because the staff has a limit.

If she only fires one missile per second, then the staff can almost never go out as long as the magic power is sufficient.

Both have their own pros and cons, and it actually requires her to make different choices for different enemies.

In any case, Li Wei feels that as long as this girl is a little smarter, she will definitely not be able to slow down her leveling up in the future.

After killing this wave of blockers, Cindy, Elegy and others carried out simple post-battle arrangements. The Tomb General, whose armor was in tatters, couldn't help but curse angrily.

"Damn it, it's Arkhan's Raging Stone Skeleton Army!"

Li Wei was a little surprised. It turned out to be an army with a number?

But how can ordinary skeleton soldiers be so strong? No one would doubt that all of them are high-level vampires.

At this time, Maldis suddenly shouted: "Levi, look!"

Following the lifted helmet, Levi also saw the fangs on the lips of the corpse. He was suddenly surprised: "It's really a vampire? But why didn't I notice it just now, and they didn't use magic?

"

Vampires are born with magic. No matter what profession they are, they all know at least a few basic magics, and the dark and bloody aura about them is difficult to hide from outsiders.

However, Levi, who is the mystic master of the heaven, and Cindy, who is the priest of Sigma, did not notice anything just now.

Even Maltis, an undead creature, was not sure after having just fought against the enemy in person. She needed to see the evidence with her own eyes before she could truly confirm this.

What's more important is that no matter what method is used to kill a vampire, he will not leave a body or a soul behind. They will directly turn into ashes after death. This is a well-known thing.

Therefore, resurrection spells that are common to the living such as humans or elves will not work on them. They need more special rituals to have a very low chance of resurrection.

But now this corpse shows no sign of changing.

Cindy and Dirge also quickly opened the helmets of other enemies, and then they discovered that these enemies were all vampires.

"Because they are actually the corpses of powerful vampires." Tomb General said in a sullen voice.

Levi became more and more surprised: "How is this possible? How did he do it?"

But then he had some guesses, perhaps, this is the power Arkhan got from the Nine Scrolls of Nagash, or even simply from Nagash.

Neither Arkhan nor Nagash are vampires, but a special kind of lich, but vampires were born because of them, and they will definitely hold some secrets that outsiders don't know.

Not to mention the nine volumes of Nagash in Arkhan's hand, which are called Secrets of the Dead.

Tomb General shook his head: "We don't know, we only know that this is Arkhan's special skill."

Li Wei wanted to ask again, but at this time he only heard an angry lion's roar, and then the whole pyramid shook violently, and at the same time, a series of "bang bang" sounds came from the top of the pyramid.

The Tomb General was suddenly surprised and delighted: "It must be the noble Lord Tefnut!"

The priests and technicians behind him did not even repair the broken guards of the gods. They knelt down on the ground and worshiped in the direction of the sound.

Even among the gods, Tefnut's priesthood and divine level are relatively weak, but for the Bronze City, she is the patron saint here.

After hearing their words, Levi also solved another doubt, but he turned around and saw, this is not possible. If you lie down here, who will lead the way for you next?

No matter who wins or loses between those two guys in the end, at least you have to go and see for yourself!

"Do you just want to stop here and let your gods be besieged by Arkhan and his undead?"

Upon hearing Li Wei's question, General Tomb, who was also about to kneel down, suddenly came to his senses.

Indeed, even if they firmly believe that Lord Tefnut will be able to defeat Arkhan, as believers, they should also show their worth and they will fight for the glory of the patron goddess!

Several ancient tomb priests and technicians were not fools either. They jumped up from the ground and prepared to move forward.

Not only because what Li Wei said was right, but also because they made further connections.

What's the point of just worshiping here? If you can catch a glimpse of the goddess from a distance in person, that would be an even greater honor!

So there was no need for Levido to urge them, and they all started on their way in a hurry.

But since the Raging Stone Skeleton Army is called an army, it certainly cannot have only a few dozen soldiers in it. On the way ahead, Arkhan laid at least dozens of ambushes.

And there are not only these special zombie vampires, but also ghost knights, tomb ghosts, bloodthirsty ghosts, and even bloodthirsty manta wolves, etc.

With the addition of Arkhan, these powerful undead are far superior to other similar ones that Levi has seen before. In addition, there are quite a few of them, and their combat power is amazing.

The only good thing is that there is probably a special magic circle inside the pyramid. The spirit knights cannot penetrate the stone wall to attack them. They can only fight head-on with real swords and guns.

But despite this, Elegy and the others could still cope with it, but the troops brought by General Tomb died quickly.

There were only two ancient tomb priests and technicians left. They were all fragile, but in the end they tried feverishly to start a close combat with the enemy.

Since they were looking for death, Li Wei didn't bother to take care of it. As long as the Tomb General, who still had some brains, could live to lead the way, that would be enough.

In this way, due to the reduction in the number of their own troops, they do not have to worry too much about accidental damage.

Earth and fire magic can cause relatively large damage to the terrain, but thunder, wind, ice and sacred powers will not affect the structure of the pyramid as long as you are a little careful.

The powerful power they displayed made Carillian, who had just joined, feel completely relieved.

Her sisters really didn't deceive her, and they were even more conservative.

Even though Master Li Wei obviously hasn't taken action with all his strength, he spends more time assisting and alerting himself to possible incoming enemies.

But she can still roughly judge that there are only a few powerful beings like him in the entire Orion camp. She is lucky to be able to follow him!

Levi also chatted with her for a few words. He had originally wanted to recruit some troops from the wood elves, and it would definitely be much more convenient now that Kerilian was here.

Unfortunately, Carillian has been out wandering for a while, and she doesn't know what's going on in the Orion camp.

The last time she got news was two days ago, when her sisters sent her a message saying that the camp was mobilizing troops to prepare for the war.

Like other gathering places of wood elves, Orion Camp is also an enchanted forest. The main races in the south are probably lizardmen, greenskins, ratmen, etc.

But the lizard people there are not very strong, and their leader, a demon toad, has been sleeping.

The distance between there and Kuga is blocked by multiple hostile forces and mountains. Facing the sudden wave of greenskins and ratmen this time, it may be difficult for them to survive.

So even though the camp has only been invaded by a small group of enemies and has basically not been affected, they still decided to summon a large army and take the initiative.

Otherwise, once the lizardmen in the south are completely wiped out, they will have to face a large wave of greenskins and ratmen.

Even if they occupy a favorable location, they can often easily defeat enemies several times larger.

However, both greenskins and ratmen are very good at destruction. The other party has enough power to cut down the entire forest, or simply set it on fire. If they don't run away, they will only die.

Therefore, they must be prepared in advance, and they also understand the meaning of death and coldness.

Similarly, Tomb General and others were also very surprised. Such a powerful mage had always hidden his power before. Was it really just a chance encounter?

But in the end, they didn't care that much, because while they were advancing, the battle above the pyramid never stopped.

With the goddess here, it doesn't matter what Li Wei's purpose is, as long as he is really helping himself now, that's enough!

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the top, Levi also slowed down a little and added a new buff state to himself.

In a few minutes, they would be able to witness the duel between Tefnut and Arkhan. If Arkhan had any other means, he would definitely use them at this last distance.

But the pyramid built by Carter Pu is really stable. Even though it was hit so hard, the pyramid just kept shaking, and there was dust everywhere, but it didn't mean to fall apart or collapse at all. He really deserved it.

It is a legendary existence.

Before he was ready, he suddenly noticed that it suddenly became quiet above.

Is the battle over, or are both sides holding back their ultimate moves?

Tomb General was also overjoyed: "She must be a goddess"

But before he finished speaking, a slightly cold male voice had already spread instantly: "Ahem, is this the power of a goddess? It's nothing more than that."

There was another muffled sound, and Levi and the others could vaguely hear a slightly sad lion's roar, followed by a man's cough and a proud laugh.

The Tomb General, the technician, and others suddenly became a little sluggish.

That male voice should be Arkhan. According to what he said, could it be that the goddess was defeated?

They were really anxious now. They didn't even bother to say hello to Li Wei and ran directly to the top floor.

Levi also became a little serious, even though he had already calculated on the way that if Tefnut won, it would be difficult for him to take away the Nine Scrolls of Nagash from his opponent.

But Arkhan won, and it would be even harder for him to get it, unless he directly summoned Lilith to come.

But even though Lilith also knew how precious the Nine Scrolls of Nagash were, as a goddess, she had basically only dealt with other gods before. Would she really be willing to beat Arkhan?

Moreover, every time he encounters a problem, he comes to her. Over time, Lilith will probably become a little disgusted.

She casts a wide net, catches as many fish as possible, chooses the best, and has more than one God's chosen ones in the main world.

If Teclis, Imric, Eltharion the Ruthless, and others are all working hard, he will always ask Lilith for help. Even if she doesn't say it, it will inevitably happen in her heart too many times.

There will be some ideas.

Because she is a goddess and focuses on things related to gods. Although the nine volumes of Nagash are considered precious, they are not particularly important to her because she has no way to use them.

But despite his worries, Levi still speeded up his pace. Even if he couldn't get the nine volumes of Nagash, he at least wanted to see with his own eyes what his future competitors looked like!

In order to protect his beloved subordinates, this time he walked at the front with the Death Guard and others.

When he saw that he could enter the top floor through a door in front, Levi heard several angry curses coming from inside, and then the sound suddenly stopped.

He knew that the Tomb Generals who were one step ahead of him might be in bad shape.

After pushing the door open, he happened to see their bodies quickly turn into dust and disappear with the wind. It was obviously some kind of powerful instant death spell.

Li Wei felt a little regretful that the sacrifices of those ancient tomb priests and technicians were not enough, but the general maintained a certain sense of reason from beginning to end, and he still had a good impression of him.

I don't know if their souls can be preserved or resurrected under this situation.

And among the mess on the ground, a very typical mummy with a staff in one hand and a sword in the other, all wrinkled, was looking at them.

The only thing that is different from other mummies is that his teeth are all black, which is where his nickname comes from - Black-Arkhan.

At this moment, the purple-black energy in his eyes was slowly receding, indicating that he had just released a powerful magic.

Behind him was a row of destroyed bookshelves, with only a large ball of energy flying in the air.

First, there was a large circle of black energy wrapped around the outermost periphery, and then there was a small group of water-colored energy inside. The two were clearly distinct, and they kept making hissing sounds, as if they were engaged in some kind of fierce confrontation.

The innermost is an ancient sheepskin scroll. It is estimated that when the water energy is destroyed, it is the time for Arkhan to obtain it.

"Ahem, is this another jackal that smells blood? But you probably don't know who I am."

"I am the black Arkhan who just defeated the incarnation of the god Tefnut!"

Arkhan slammed his staff, and two purple-black rays of light flew out of his eyes. Almost as soon as they touched, Levi's big slap that was released in advance was directly and neatly broken.

But when it actually fell on Levi, it did not cause any fluctuations. The supreme robe shone brightly, offsetting a considerable part of the damage.

The remaining damage was not enough to severely damage Levi, who had the Ring of Mysrien on him.

And the special effects attached to it are completely ineffective, because as long as there is enough money, Levi will be immune to all instant death effects.

He originally wanted to say something, but he simply didn't speak. No matter what method the other party used to repel Tefnut's incarnation, if the other party was good at instant death magic, then he wouldn't be afraid!

So he also glared, returned two energy sights, and threw a Necromantic Hold Technique casually.

It is almost impossible to get the immobilization to take effect, and it is equally difficult to hurt the other party, but that is not important, all of this is just to humiliate the other party.

A mage who loses his mind due to anger will often become easier to deal with.

As expected, Arkhan, who was originally very proud and proud, was instantly angered.

He had just defeated the incarnation of a goddess. Even though the opponent's incarnation was only legendary because of its low divine rank, because it was the incarnation of a god, it was much stronger than an ordinary legend in many aspects.

From now on, he can proudly claim to be the one who has defeated gods in his mortal body.

Not counting the very shameful Hachiman Daimyojin of Nippon who was often defeated by mortals.

It seems that the last person to achieve this honor was Gueron Liufeng. He once defeated the incarnation of Maura, and was promoted to a demigod by the goddess of the forest and rangers, Mielikki.

Although I once followed Nagash, which was a very dark past, if the news spreads, if I can't protect it, which evil god will take a fancy to me?

But he didn't expect that within two minutes of his excitement, someone would use such low-level magic to attack him? This was simply humiliating him!

So he did not hesitate to use another instant-death magic. He wanted to tell the young elf opposite that even if he was seriously injured in the process of defeating Tefnut, it was not something that a mere legend could do.

Provocative!

"The finger of death!"

Another instant death magic?

Li Wei did not dodge or evade, and once again resisted the opponent's move.

In fact, because the opponent's spellcasting speed is so fast, even if he is fully alert, it is almost impossible to avoid it, so he might as well just pretend.

With the Ring of Mythryn on him, he can still resist the finger of death for many times after ignoring the instant death effect.

Then he threw a hammer of justice with his backhand, which was disrespectful!

After casting a dissociation spell instantly to offset the Hammer of Justice, but seeing the second attack coming, Arkhan finally felt that something was wrong.

After resisting Levi's blow, he frowned slightly as he felt the intensity of the attack on the energy shield.

He was finally willing to look at Levi carefully for a few times, and then he suddenly realized: "It turns out that he is a heavenly mystic master, and he seems to have received a lot of blessings. Ahem, no wonder he can ignore instant death effects, etc."

His voice suddenly turned to ecstasy: "You actually have the Nine Volumes of Nagash on you? Haha, it seems that the goddess of luck is also looking after me!"

"Really? I think so too."

As he spoke, Levi threw the Hammer of Justice again. He had roughly judged that Arkhan had indeed repelled Tefnut's incarnation, but he was definitely seriously injured.

Otherwise, why would he, a special kind of lich, keep coughing?

His lungs, throat, etc., lost their proper function thousands of years ago, right?

Arkhan snorted and looked at him with contempt: "Mortal wisdom."

As he spoke, he resisted Li Wei's blow again and made a false grab behind him with his backhand.

With a soft "pop" sound and a faint roar of a lioness, the black energy completely destroyed all resistance.

Levi watched helplessly as another nine volumes of Nagash flew directly into Arkhan's hands.

He couldn't help but clenched his fists subconsciously. How could this Tefnut be such a parallel import?

From the time the war started to the time he was beaten away in despair, it didn't take much time, right?

Now the seal you left has been destroyed by the opponent in the blink of an eye.

If you persist for just three to five minutes longer, the battle situation may fundamentally change!

Just as Levi was thinking about whether he should just call Lilith out, it would save him from calling her a few times in the future.

But seeing that Arkhan was faster, he didn't waste even half a second. He put away the scroll and took out a pair of special shackles and a chessboard.

"In my name, Arkhan, I apply for a chessboard battle with the elf mage in front of me!"
