The substitute member of the Egyptian team soon entered the match. As everyone expected, he immediately began to Summon the undead endlessly. It felt like he was quicker at Summoning the undead, as the island was soon filled up with the mummies. It even felt like the island could sink at any moment.
Mo Fan was still a few Soul Essences short, so his eyes gleamed excitedly when he saw how diligent the new member of the Egyptian team was!
-Fifth-tier Thunderbolt, here I come!-
Most people would want to stay as far away from the undead as possible, but Mo Fan was pouncing on them greedily, like he had just seen a bunch of naked ladies...
”Damn it, he doesn't even treat me seriously!” Meos's face darkened.
It took her great effort to summon a Commander-level undead, yet Mo Fan simply disregarded it and charged at the army of undead to continue his massacre.
The rest of the Egyptian team was dumbfounded.
-This Mo Fan, is there something wrong with his brain?-
”Eat him!” Meos snapped furiously.
A pitch-black, centipede-like skeletal demon shrouded in a Cursed aura dug its way out of the ground, shrieking a ghastly cry!
The skeletal centipede was around sixteen meters long, with a pointy tail. Its neck and head resembled that of a human, but it had two huge skulls. Its four eyes were glaring at its target menacingly. It was like a demon that had climbed out of Hell, incompatible with the living creatures in this world!

”It's the Tactile Centipede Demon!”
”How could they Summon a creature like that? It's difficult to control a creature that has such a strong lust to kill. People might even die in this match!”
”What can we do about it? The Undead Element has always been difficult to control. It's currently listed as a Dark Magic, but we all know something bad is going to happen if it's used in a battle between Mages!”

”We've neglected the risks involved,” the governor of Venice sighed.
It was impossible to stop the match now. Even if there were casualties, it was necessary to decide the winner between the Chinese team and the Egyptian team. The outcome of the match was extremely important to the countries involved, as the prize for the first place was a lot better than the prize for second place!
”Let's just hope the participants stay safe. I bet the world won't approve of the Egyptian team's method even if they win the match. There are quite a lot of Evil or Forbidden Magicks that can grant a Mage extraordinary power for a short period, but the people that pursue them always bring doom upon themselves, resulting in great disasters to mankind. Only orthodox Magic can guarantee our future,” the representative of the Holy Judgment Court said disdainfully.
The Holy Judgment Court was an organization that the Magic Associations of the Five Continents had established. They were not responsible for punishing Mages that committed crimes, but those that practiced Evil Magic!
Magic was derived for all kinds of uses, and humans had invented all kinds of magic in the past. However, the only magic that was suitable for humans to practice and pass down was the magic included in the Four Main Magic Types.
Those that were not deemed orthodox were considered Forbidden Magic!
Among the Forbidden Magicks, those that could endanger people's lives, influence their consciousness, or bring massacre upon living creatures were counted as Evil Magic!
The magic that the Black Vatican used to turn people into Cursed Beasts was a typical Evil Magic.
Turning living people into Dark Beast Monsters and Cursed Beasts, giving normal people the power to Summon undead or use the Undead Element; anyone that practiced these Evil arts was a target of the Holy Judgment Court. Unfortunately, the Black Vatican had infiltrated society, making it extremely difficult to identify them. It had grown into a powerful organization, so governments, associations, renowned clans, alliances, and militaries had to work together against it.
The magic that the Egyptian team used was still under the Undead Element, so the Holy Judgment Court did not have a valid reason to forbid it. As a result, the organizer had no reason to forbid its usage in the tournament...
However, even though the Egyptian team did not break the rules, the people could still tell if they were crossing the line.
Their actions were the same as athletes consuming a kind of drug to boost their performance, and because the drug was newly invented, it was not yet listed among the forbidden drugs!

The Tactile Centipede Demon summoned a Cursed wind that looked like a puff of black smoke. It was going after Mo Fan. It raised its spear-like legs and lunged at Mo Fan!
Mo Fan harrumphed coldly when he noticed the creature.
The creature might look intimidating, but it did not necessarily mean the creature was strong. It wanted to scare him with its horrible appearance, yet it had forgotten to ask his demon blood for approval!
”Be gone!” Mo Fan kicked the shoulder of a Death Axes Mummy and launched himself at the heads of the Tactile Centipede Demon!
