The ghostlight shone down upon the land as the army of undead advanced. Anyone watching them would be overwhelmed by a fear of falling into a deep abyss where they would never see peace again.

”The almighty Osiris, I am Unas...” Unas stood in front of the magnificent pyramid under the mysterious light it was emitting. She had an eerie, inhuman presence.

Mo Fan was standing not far away from her. He closely observed her confusing actions.

Was Unas the main reason why the Cold Prince was able to collude with the Underworld?

Besides, wasn't Unas the name of a Pyramid, too? Judging from what she was doing, there was a great chance that she was a Medium!

Egypt had many talented Undead Mages. It was very likely that some of them were born with the innate talent to communicate with the Underworld.

”Your prey is still resisting their death. The army of undead is struggling to advance further because of the Great Wall that is blocking the way. It is China's ancient shield; it has been around for a long time, but the truth is, it's nothing but a little hill in front of you. We need your power to destroy it!” Unas called out to the Pyramid in a loud voice.

Unas was tiny compared to the magnificent Pyramid. Ten Dark Swordmasters in full armor were standing around the Pyramid. They were guarding the entrance of the Pyramid like its most loyal servants. Any creature that did not submit to the Pyramid was not allowed to enter its vicinity!

Ten Dark Swordmasters at the Ruler-level were only guards of the Pyramid. How terrifying would the Lord of the Underworld inside the Pyramid be?

”Leave a petty matter like that to the Sphinx,” a misty yet thick voice came out from the Pyramid.

The others quickly covered their ears. It felt like their heads were about to explode!

Mo Fan was struggling to believe it. A single sentence was already troubling their mind to such an extent! Were there really gods in this world? Was it true that normal people could not listen to them directly?

”Splendid! I hope you are satisfied with the gift I've prepared for you, even if a little accident is in the way,” Unas answered.

The Lord of the Underworld inside the Pyramid did not respond.

Unas did not dare say a further word. She tactfully left the place.

The Jagged Bones Cursed Beast beat its wings and swept past the ocean of undead. It was heading toward a specific spot on Squaretrek Plain.

”Master Unas, didn't Osiris send a powerful undead to help us? Why haven't I seen him yet?” Crow asked.

”The Sphinx was already here when the Underworld Monarch Frogs showed up, but he only takes orders from one person. If he wanted to destroy the wall, it would have long fallen,” Unas replied.

After flying for some time, they could still see the army of undead densely filling up Squaretrek Plain underneath them. They were currently around twenty kilometers to the north of Northguard Fortress.

It went without saying that the number of undead was the highest in this area. After all, Northguard Fortress was the key point of their enemy's line of defense. Once they destroyed Northguard Fortress, the Great Wall would collapse too!

”A huge area has cleared up,” Blue Bat exclaimed, suddenly pointing into the valley.

Mo Fan looked in that direction and was surprised that there was not a single undead in the area. It was like a rapid-flowing river encountering a sandbank. The water was avoiding the area and flowing past it on both sides.

Mo Fan was utterly confused. It was clearly not a deep canyon. The undead could just travel across it, yet they had purposely taken a long way around instead, as if it was a forbidden area!

Unas smiled. She ordered the Jagged Bones Cursed Beast to land on the spacious area.

Mo Fan suddenly realized an enormous creature was lying in the valley. Its color was very similar to the terrain nearby. It was unlikely that anyone would notice it when it concealed its presence. However, he was already brimming with fear when he was still a hundred meters away from the creature!

He could hear the creature snoring. Its breathing was very long and slow. Every inhalation and exhalation took around three minutes. An overwhelming force would surge inward and outward during the process. No ordinary undead could withstand it.

It was lying on the ground sleeping. It had arrived earlier than the massive army of undead. Even the Scorpion Lord Medusa had taken the long way around when the undead army was passing by. It showed how terrifying the creature was!

”You, go down there,” Unas pointed at Crow and ordered.

”Me?” Crow stammered, pointing at himself.

The creature lying below was absolutely terrifying. Crow was no idiot. Every undead, including those at the Ruler-level, were avoiding it. He knew what was going to happen if a mere Advanced Mage like him went down there!

”Go wake him up,” Unas said.

”Don't you have the ability to communicate with the creatures of the Underworld?” Crow knew his life was in danger if he went and woke the creature up.

”The Sphinx has a strange temper. Apart from Osiris, he will eat anyone that dares disturb his sleep straight away,” Unas blatantly told Crow what was going to happen.

”Then why...” Crow had a twisted face.

”I'm ordering you to go down there. You just need to obey what I say obediently!” Unas' eyes turned cold.
