620 The Sarcastic Smile (1/2)
Before Lucien said anything, the outrageous air had broken in. One of the black walls in the maze was fiercely pushed open a big hole, and the mummy wearing the gold crown walked out,
”Both of you die here!”
The miasma surrounding the primordial mummy filled the entire space, preventing Lucien's and Klaus' spiritual power from reaching further. It felt like a long time exposure to the miasma would even drain their spiritual power!
Hooooooo!
While furiously howling, the primordial mummy suddenly grew ten times bigger until it was as huge as a giant. In comparison, Lucien and Klaus were as tiny as two little ants.
Then the wild wind came.
The fierce wind came from the mummy's two fists continuously hitting the ground over and over again like two giant hammers! The black stone pillars collapsed one by one - It would take Lucien quite a while to take down one of the pillars using Vengeful Gaze several times!
”Elemental Protection!” Having no time for transformation, Lucien instantly activated the defense spell the Robe of Grand Arcanists contained.
Colorful element light spots congregated in front of him and formed a half-transparent light shield.
Meanwhile, his right hand stroked the pocket watch and disrupted the flow of time.
”Alchemy Barrier!” Klaus said out.
He had just gone through a bitter fight, and thus there was now a big difference between a level-three legendary and him. Therefore, he also chose to cast the defense spell that he was best at which sheltered him in a iron-black small fortress.
The giant primordial mummy ran through the disturbed time currents. The power of the currents made it slightly deviate from its target, but it still knew what it was heading for!
Bang! The fist as huge as a small hill encircled by fierce blasts hit Lucien and Klaus.
Lucien's elemental protection cracked, and the great power malevolently threw Lucien at the black wall behind him. Blood spilling out from his mouth, Lucien felt his soul was going through a bad concussion.
The iron-black fortress also cracked. Its many magic circles failed to resist the outrageous power.
Klaus's defense lasted a second longer, and then the blast also threw him at the same, half-broken wall.
Then Lucien saw the sky - cloudy and grey, but it was the sky! He was out of the temple now! Beside his hand, he suddenly felt the strange, transcendent power, as if next to him there was another world.
Lucien suddenly felt thrilled. He extended his spiritual power out and he ”saw” a magnificent black palace whose top directly reached into the sky.
The gate of the palace opened. In the middle, there were layers of hanging veils. Behind the veils, there were countless pale faces with different looks on them, looking rather horrifying.
”Furnace of Souls!” Klaus exclaimed in the telepathic bond, which confirmed Lucien's guess.
They got lucky here. The punch from the mummy just helped them find the furnace.
Hooooooo!
The primordial mummy followed them closely, leaving them no chance to catch a breath. The black miasma surrounding it was like the sickle of Death, a sign for their doomed destiny.
It rushed at them at great speed. The last hundred meters was just the mummy's one single stride!
At this time, the pocket watch in Lucien's hand dimly lit up. Lucien's middle finger pressed on it.
Click. A black hemisphere appeared above the primordial mummy and then dropped onto it. It seemed that the hemisphere was in fact incredibly heavy since the giant mummy's back was now slightly bending forward. It started moving slowly, as if it was wearing a set of shackles.
Seizing the chance, Lucien cast transformation. His eyes lit up, his muscles bulging, Lucien raised the small but thick shield using his left hand to protect Klaus and himself.
”Flood Devastator!” Klaus blurted out.
The grey sky suddenly sparkled. Then, a big hole appeared and black water poured out, drowning the mummy.
For most mummies, they could cause extreme droughts and resist water magic. However, if powerful enough, water magic could also be their weaknesses.
When the flood retreated and left everything on the ground in chaos, the primordial mummy remained totally intact, even including the miasma surrounding it.
Its body bulged again. Roaring furiously, the mummy king cracked the black hemisphere and then its right foot stamped on Lucien and Klaus.
Bang! In the deep, deafening noise, Lucien and Klaus were being protected by the invisible waves in the air, and thus they were not hurt at all.
”Burning Waterfall!” Klaus decided to use the legendary flame spell - If water did not work, then he'd try fire!
The ground cracked with an illusionary, big gap, and the black and white flames surged out all the way up into the sky. The extreme high temperature could even melt the black tiles.
The thick fire pillar caged the primordial mummy and the fire burnt out the monster's bitterest cry. However, when the fire pillar disappeared, although most of the black miasma disappeared and the creepy bandages were burnt black, the mummy was still ”alive”!
”At least a dozen more Burning Waterfalls to go… if it's not recovering too fast…” Through Telepathic bond, Klaus asked Lucien, ”How long can you stand using that shield?”
Before he could say more, Klaus saw the miasma quickly gathering back.
The defense was insane!
Lucien's arms were already feeling sore, ”Like this, maybe three minutes… It's heavy.”
The Shield of Truth was also reaching its limit.
”Hellish Ball!”
”The Gloss of the Goddess of Magic!”
…
A series of legendary spells were cast by Klaus, but none of them severely hurt the primordial mummy. Because of the difference between their ranks, the spells did not work very well!
The primordial mummy's punches were like raindrops, making Lucien's arms extremely sore.
The invisible waves protecting them were also going to crack at any time.
Fortunately, the primordial mummy's attacks were quite predictable. The mummy's horrible defense and fighting power were at the cost of the mysterious and unpredictable fighting tact. Its style was completely straightforward and rough.
Klaus took out a puppet from his pocket and threw it at the primordial mummy.
