Chapter 243 - 243 Cursed Pharaoh
243 Cursed Pharaoh
It was only his first day under Xu Yuan’s command, and he had just died like that.
Scarlen’s vision dimmed. He felt despair. He had yet to figure out where the creature had come from, but he was already dying!
Suddenly, a warm and comforting light encased him. He opened his eyes. He was back in Su Wan’s territory. He touched his neck. There was no wound there.
“I am alive?!” Scarlen was surprised. He turned around and saw many of his companions there. All of them had been killed by the creature a while before. “How is this possible?”
He walked out of the light and stood before his companions.
“Don’t worry,” said Su Wan. “With Xu Yuan here, no one really dies permanently. Hurry now and kill the monsters to level up!”
When she found out that Xu Yuan had such an ability, she was also shocked in the beginning.
This was very rare. Her other friends, Shi Linglong, Zhao Qingrong, and even Lin Yao’s territories didn’t have such a convenient ability.
“So… it’s because of His Majesty!” Scarlen was taken aback. He raised his head and looked at the huge figure on the wall.
“My dear Lord,” said Xu Yuan lazily to Su Wan. “Your leveling up has been really slow today.”
He helped the dead troops resurrect instantly for Su Wan’s sake. If she fought monsters more efficiently, it would benefit Xu Yuan as well. He wanted more experience points.
“Hurry!” commanded Xu Yuan. “The Lord wants to level up!”
Scarlen was completely dumbfounded. His mouth fell wide open. Shouldn’t Su Wan be giving them orders as a Lord?
Sure enough, Scarlen felt that Xu Yuan was the real deal. He had made the right choice. The human Lord was just Xu Yuan’s follower, like any of them.
Su Wan saw Scarlen’s determined face.
At this moment, the void flickered again. The creatures that emerged were far stronger than before. Even with her current strength, it was difficult for Su Wan to fight them. Scarlen was weaker than her.
Su Wan hesitated. “My Lord, you cannot back down from this fight,” said Xu Yuan.
He cast the Demonic Dragon’s Blessing on her. Her attributes increased by 2000%. The effect would last for an hour. Su Wan felt powerful.
However, she felt conflicted. How could she torture others like this?
She had become a tool. Was Xu Yuan tricking her?
All the attacks from the other creatures landed on her body, and her constantly flashing shield blocked them all. She was filled with anger.
This wasn’t an act of goodwill. Xu Yuan was tricking her. She was not a tool to be used as he pleased!
When she became stronger, she would definitely be a Dragon Knight. She swore to ride on Xu Yuan’s back and take revenge!
The void continued to flicker. Numerous figures appeared and disappeared within it.
Xu Yuan used the True Eye of The Demon Dragon to see through the illusions in the void. Hidden things couldn’t escape his notice.
[Cursed Pharaoh]
[Level: SSS]
[Potential: Elite Lord]
[Magic Power: 1000 (+50)]
[Skill: cursed body (SSS-level, immune to poison and plague. Anyone who touches it will be cursed. Attributes will decrease by 5% every minute, up to 40%)]
[Note: after being killed by Pharaoh, you can no longer receive the protection of the rules and cannot be revived with Territory Core!]
‘This creature is powerful. Nobody can resurrect after being killed by it!’
The mysterious and twisted pattern began to emit yellow light. The pattern seemed to come to life. It made everyone transfixed.
A moment later, the colorful pattern began to shine before the pyramid, and energy condensed at a point. The figure flickered and the Cursed Pharaoh appeared. He was wearing a colorful crown with two colorful ribbons floating behind its ears.
It held a short, dried-up wooden staff in its hand. Its face was a skull. It had no flesh.
Soul Fire burned in the head, and the empty eye sockets emitted a dark blue light. Its appearance was horrifying, but it also looked mystical.
The blue Soul Fire was especially noticeable.
Xu Yuan frowned.
After grinding for so many days, they managed to kill numerous types of monsters. This was the first time a high-level creature had walked out of the void.
‘How did such a creature appear here?’ wondered Xu Yuan. ‘Is this the Lord of the Sky’s doing?’
Su Wan looked determined. She was a bit flustered, too. She had no worries about other troops under her because they could be instantly resurrected. However, she hadn’t considered whether she could be resurrected if she died here.
‘I was planning to gain experience points and level up while sitting here and watching the show,’ thought Xu Yuan. ‘I have to get involved, after all.’
“Dark Destructive Light!”
A huge black pillar of light descended from the sky, annihilating all enemies.
The Dark Destructive Light had the ability to lock onto space. Once it locked onto an enemy, it could bombard the enemy across dimensions!
It could only deal 5 times the damage to non-undead creatures, but it was more than enough to kill an SSS-class beast!
The Cursed Pharaoh didn’t stand a chance. It turned to dust as it was hit.
Su Wan glanced at Xu Yuan in incredulity. How powerful was he exactly? It took ten times the strength and power of the enemy to shatter them into smithereens, especially a creature of a high level that emerged from the void!
The White Dragon Saint, the nine-headed Hydra, and the Red-Eyed Black Dragon were all stunned. As expected, the Dark Demon Dragon’s power was unparalleled!
Unfortunately, the experience points gained were not even enough to reach Level 66.
The further one advanced, the harder it was to upgrade!
However, Xu Yuan was currently focused on killing the creatures from the void. He wondered what other kinds of creatures could appear.
‘This is getting interesting. I wonder what else the Lord of the Sky has in store.’
It was said that the God-Devil race that blotted out the sky and covered the earth all had extremely powerful strength, but he had never heard of a hero from such a bloodline that surpassed a Mythical Level hero or Lord.
“I’m a little tired. Can I rest for a while?” Su Wan was almost begging.
‘What a joke!’ thought Su Wan. ‘I am a Lord, and yet I am used as nothing but a tool!’ She wanted to resist and rebel.
Anyone could have agreed with her request because she looked so beautiful and fragile at that moment.
“You all,” Xu Yuan turned to the troops. “Continue and assist the Lord in fighting those creatures. Do not let them hurt the Lord’s delicate personage.”
Xu Yuan completely ignored her aggrieved look.
