1597 Leaving the Chambers Translated by XephiZ

Edited by Aelryinth

The energy of the Electro Cannon exploded inside the Skeleton Mummy. The deadly rays sparkled like an eerie glimpse of light during a solar eclipse. The lightning surged across its bones and turned them into ashes!

The Skeleton Mummy was knocked into the air by the great force, struck by countless lightning strikes as it tumbled wildly in the air!

Not every part of its body was as sturdy as it seemed. The vulnerable parts were soon destroyed by the energy of the Electro Cannon. Sections of its body collapsed and scattered across the ground.

Ashfrom its bones drifted into the air. The rest of the group stared at the destruction that the Electro Cannon had brought upon the chamber. It took them some time to recover from the shock!

The Skeleton Mummy might not be a Ruler-level creature, yet it was easily one of the strongest Commander-level creatures in the Pyramid. Even so, Mo Fan had crippled it with a single Lightning Spell!

Normally, only a Super Spell had the chance of killing a Commander-level creature in the Advancing Period with a single blow. Mo Fan’s Lightning Magic was clearly very close to the strength of a Super Spell. They could still sense its destructive energy a kilometer away from the impact!

The Skeleton Mummy was seriously injured. The team did not have any trouble taking it out afterwards, and the chamber was soon cleared. All its doors appeared.

“Mo Fan, did you apply the Blessing of the God’s Seal to your Lightning Element?” Shreev could not help but ask.

“Yeah, I chose the Lightning Element,” Mo Fan nodded.

“No wonder… but even with the Blessing of the God’s Seal, your Lightning Magic is still crazily strong,” Shreev said with an envious look.

“Humph, the Blessing of the God’s Seal was meant to be ours!” Meos grunted.

The Blessing of the God’s Seal could permanently increase the base damage of an Element, and was something that every Mage wanted to get their hands on. It was what made Mo Fan as strong as a monster!

“Still dwelling on the past, huh?” Mo Fan replied carelessly.

“But I didn’t think your Lightning Magic would be this strong, even with the Blessing of the God’s Seal and a top-quality Soul-grade Lightning Seed,” Shreev went on.

“It’s because I’m using the fourth-tier Advanced Lightning Spell. I’ve strengthened the Silent Deadly Bolt further,” Mo Fan explained.

Huh?

Did he just say he had enhanced his Advanced Lightning Spell to the fourth tier?

The others immediately turned around with glittering eyes.

“Mo Fan, you need three hundred and forty-three Servant-class Soul Essences to enhance the Advanced Lightning Spell!” Shreev said with a smile. He assumed Mo Fan was joking.

“I know that, I’ve enhanced them all,” Mo Fan said casually.

“For real?” Meos blurted out.

“Can’t you tell after seeing how strong the Electro Cannon was?” Mo Fan pointed out.

The others soon had strange faces. They seemed calm on the surface, yet they all had the urge to simply pin Mo Fan to the ground and beat the crap out of him!

Three hundred and forty-three Servant-class Soul Essences! If the market price for a Servant-class Soul Essence was around five million, it meant Mo Fan had spent 1.7 billion on enhancing the spell!

1.7 billion was a huge sum, even for a Super Mage, yet Mo Fan had used it all JUST on enhancing his Advanced Spell. There was no one more extravagant than him in the world!

“You son of a b**ch, did you use my Soul Essences on it, too? I’m going to kill you!” Sayed yelled angrily as a sudden thought crossed his mind.

Mo Fan dug in his ear casually. He had heard the same thing countless times in the Pyramid, but Sayed never dared to do anything to him. “Your Soul Essences were nowhere enough for it,” Mo Fan sniffed disdainfully.

Zhao Manyan was clearly the most familiar with Mo Fan in the group. He always knew that Mo Fan was the true definition of a nouveau riche. He had already enhanced his Basic and Intermediate Spells. Some of them had even reached the fifth tier…

However, Zhao Manyan did not expect Mo Fan to enhance his Advanced Spell too!

What a baller!

His Zhao Family was considered the richest family in China, and was nothing compared to Mo Fan!

The Heavens finally showed some mercy to the group. They successfully defeated all the guardians in the remaining chambers.

Everyone was trembling in relief when they stepped through the door into the last chamber. They had spent more than two months in the Pyramid. If they had failed to find the way out again, they were really going to lose their minds.

Luckily, the guardian of the last chamber was not a Ruler-level creature, and was actually weaker than the Skeleton Mummy. After realizing how strong the creature was, everyone felt like they were bathed in a sacred light and being lifted into the sky!

Finally… their never-ending adventure in the Mummy Chambers finally came to an end. It only took them a little over two months, yet it already felt like years!

—

When they walked to the end of the passage and saw it no longer led them to a chamber, they all sat on the ground and smiled in relief.

“Shreev, do you know? If it was another chamber, I bet I would have already chopped you into pieces by now!” Zhao Manyan patted Shreev on the shoulder.

“We should have more trust in one another. It’s definitely the right way if I’m willing to take the lead!” Shreev replied with a sniff.

They saw a long flight of stairs ahead after leaving the chamber. They had no idea how many stairs there were. Each step was about a meter high, as if the staircase was designed for a giant.

“Are we climbing up? Are you sure Khufu’s chamber is up there?” Mo Fan asked.

“It must be,” Shreev said confidently.

——

The group climbed up the stairs. The stone flight felt like an enormous mountain. They did not reach the top after climbing it for some time.

“Don’t tell me it’s an endless loop again?” Zhao Manyan asked worriedly. He still could not see the top.

“It shouldn’t be, I’m sure it’s going to lead us to Khufu’s chamber!” Shreev insisted.

After climbing for a few minutes, they suddenly noticed an unusual white object, the color of snow. They could only see a corner of the object from their angle. It emitted a serene blue light.

“The Day and Dusk Compass, it must be!” Shreev exclaimed.

The others were overjoyed too!

They knew the journey was going to be dangerous, but they did not expect it to be such torture. Either way, they had still made it in the end!
