1394 The Sphinx (2/2)

”I don't want to die, you can ask someone else,” Crow looked at Blue Bat, Mo Fan, and the others. He was not the only person around. Why did she have to pick him?

”Go down!” Unas' eyes were abnormal. Somehow, the look in her eyes became irresistible.

It was an order originating from her mind. Her order went right into Crow's soul like a sword.

”A Soul Contract...” Mo Fan was shocked when he sensed the energy.

There was obviously a Soul Contract between Crow and Unas, forcing Crow to obey Unas' commands!

”If you go down now, you are still going to earn merits. If I break your limbs and toss you down, you will just be a nobody,” Unas said in a serious voice.

Crow knew he had no other choice. He jumped down to the ground unwillingly.

He landed right in front of the enormous creature. His tiny figure was as insignificant as a little insect. It felt like the creature could easily devour him with a little sip.

”Sphinx...” Crow called oiut in a soft, trembling voice.

Crow was hoping that the creature did not hear him, yet unfortunately, he actually woke it up. It opened his eyes and stared at Crow murderously.

Crow's will shattered in an instant. He froze like a statue under the creature's gaze.

The Sphinx did not give the petty human any chance to speak at all. He took a deep breath and sucked Crow straight into his mouth...

He did not even bother to open his mouth. Crow ended up smashing into the Sphinx's teeth and turned into pulp.

The Sphinx licked his teeth to taste the human indifferently.

He slowly lifted his head and noticed several other humans above him.

”Sphinx, the Lord of the Underworld has asked you to work together with us to destroy Northguard Fortress. Let's hope we have a great time working together!” Unas was able to communicate with the creatures of the Underworld, and smiled and quickly mentioned Osiris' plan to the Sphinx.

Unas was acting very casually, as if nothing was worth her attention at all.

Osiris had indeed given the order to the Sphinx. The massive creature slowly rose to his feet. The moment he stood up, the army of undead started moving underneath his body. He was like an island that had been lifted up into the sky!

Mo Fan was stunned, not because he realized Northguard Fortress was soon going to be trampled by the Sphinx, but by the fact Violet Ghost was not the host of his Soul Contract. It was in Unas' hands instead!

Crow was similar to Mo Fan. He had joined the ceremony after signing a Soul Contract with Violet Ghost. Unas had clearly used the power of the contract to give Crow an order.

”Violet Ghost is dead… but my contract isn't terminated yet...”

Mo Fan could vaguely sense that Violet Ghost was dead through the Dark Material. He initially thought there would be a delay before the Soul Contract was terminated, as the chains binding his soul would take some time to disappear. To his surprise, the host of the contract was never Violet Ghost, but Unas, and Crow had clearly proven it just a moment ago!

Damn it, he was set up by Violet Ghost! The person they were supposed to kill was Unas!

Northguard Fortress...

Zhao Manyan and Lingling did not stay at Shenmu Keep after killing Violet Ghost. Shenmu Keep had survived the attack from the Black Vatican. They just needed to clean up the rest of Violet Ghost's men.

Shenmu Keep might be safe, but it did not necessarily mean the other ancient keeps were fine!

Northguard Fortress was clearly bearing greater pressure compared to the rest of the ancient keeps.

”We are almost at Northguard Fortress. Let's hope they are still fine!” Zhao Manyan flew along the Wall while setting his eyes on the magnificent tower of Northguard Fortress in the distance!

”Mmm, we must hold Northguard Fortress at all costs,” Lingling nodded. She was about to talk about Mo Fan's situation when Zhao Manyan suddenly came to a stop.

Zhao Manyan was initially flying along the Wall, but he suddenly lowered himself to the path on the Wall and hid in one of the towers.

”What's wrong?” Lingling asked after seeing Zhao Manyan's unusual behavior.

Zhao Manyan had a strange look on his face. He was trembling, too!

”The...the human face!” Even Zhao Manyan's voice changed too. He cautiously looked out of the tower.

Lingling followed his gaze and saw a human face among the huge army of undead. It was grinning faintly!

Zhao Manyan was sure that it was the same human face he had seen behind the Underworld Monarch Frogs before. He initially thought it belonged to a titan, as its body was concealed by the dust. However, it had now revealed its true appearance as it came closer. It was a terrifying monster with a human face and the body of a lion!

”It's the Sphinx of Giza!” Zhao Manyan exclaimed. ”Egypt's mystical beast!”
