The Sphinx stopped after smashing into several Underworld Monarch Frogs. The punch had left a few cracks on his face. There was no sign of blood, but the Sphinx was obviously injured.
The Sphinx roared at Mo Fan furiously from around eight kilometers away.
As Egypt's God of Death, the Sphinx's status was almost unmatched. It had been ages since anyone dared to challenge his authority, but this human had managed to injure him! The dignity of a Supreme Ruler was inviolable. The only way he could take revenge was by killing the human!
The Sphinx stabilized himself. He did not place any hopes on the useless army of undead. They were extremely excited when given the opportunity to slaughter the humans, and had countless ways of torturing their prey, but they were completely useless when they were up against a truly threatening existence. Their numbers were insignificant. In the end, the Sphinx still had to do the dirty job!
That being said, it was necessary to show Osiris his strength. Otherwise, Osiris might think he had started to age...
”What the hell are you roaring for? Just kill him, kill him now! Are you telling me that all of you can't even handle a petty human!?” the Cold Prince grumbled from atop an Underworld Monarch Frog.
The Cold Prince did not expect a little Advanced Mage to possess such extraordinary power. Even his 'god form' was no match for the young man. He could even take on the entire army of undead!
The Cold Prince knew Mo Fan was only trying to buy some time. Lots of powerful Underworld creatures were still coming out from the Great Pyramid of Giza. However, if the people of the North Valley were evacuated to somewhere safe, it would be difficult for him to accumulate the hatred he needed to obtain more power!
The Great Wall had already bought a great deal of time for the people of the North Valley to evacuate. The Cold Prince could not allow just one Mage to stop his plan of letting the Underworld creatures take over the mundane world. If the entire army of undead was here, even multiple Demon Mo Fans would struggle to stop them!
The Sphinx turned around when he heard the annoying little fly buzzing around his ears. He stared at the Cold Prince coldly!
BANG!
The Sphinx raised his paw and slapped the Underworld Monarch Frog's head without any mercy!
The Underworld Monarch Frog's head exploded right away. The slap also broke most of the Cold Prince's bones and knocked him to the ground.
The Cold Prince was already suffering from serious injuries, and releasing the deadly black smog had drained a lot of his vitality. The Sphinx's slap left him half-dead in the ground.
”Damn it!... I am the one that brought you here from Egypt, I am the one that Summoned you to the mundane world. You should be grateful, you should be worshiping me!” the Cold Prince yelled furiously.
The Dark Pharaoh of Serpents, Scorpion Lord Medusa, and the Sphinx had not shown any hint of respect to him ever since they showed up. Only the Underworld Monarch Frogs, hauling the Great Pyramid of Giza like slaves, were willing to obey the Cold Prince's orders. However, the Underworld Monarch Frogs could not withstand even a single blow from Mo Fan. Besides, the Underworld Monarch Frogs were extremely slow and nearly brainless. Even all the Underworld Monarch Frogs combined would still struggle to take on Demon Mo Fan!
The Sphinx successfully got rid of the noise that was bothering him after slamming the Cold Prince into the ground. He stared at Mo Fan viciously in the distance.
The more injuries that Mo Fan had, the wilder his demon blood became. He did not waste his time exchanging glances with the Sphinx. He dashed through the ravine at remarkable speed, and took the initiative to engage the Sphinx!
The Sphinx did not really hurt him much. It was Demon Mo Fan's turn to treat the Sphinx!
Mo Fan was engulfed by several layers of flames, as if he had turned into a brilliant sun rolling through the ravine. The ferocious flames surged at the Sphinx, blasting the enormous creature back to Northguard Fortress!
The fortress had long been overrun by the army of undead, and was covered by a sea of undead now. Countless undead perished when the fight between the Sphinx and Mo Fan was relocated to the fortress. They could not live for more than a second under the overwhelming power of Ruler-level creatures...
The Underworld creatures leading the way subconsciously slowed down when they saw their leader being knocked back to the fortress. They were wondering if they should lend their leader a hand, or continue forward. Yulin City had already been evacuated. They had not found a single human there!
The Sphinx rose to his feet with an enraged expression. He let out a furious roar when he saw the army stopping.
The Underworld Executioners and the Twin-Bodied Demon Cows immediately headed for the next city!
More Underworld creatures had passed Mo Fan's line of defense. They were completely unstoppable. The black tide of undead had devoured Yulin City in less than an hour!
The numbers of undead were just too shocking. Mo Fan was still able to stop the undead coming from the broken wall in front of Northguard Fortress, but as more segments of the wall collapsed, the undead were pouring into the North Valley like rivers from every direction. How could Mo Fan possibly stop them all on his own?
Besides, the space would clear up significantly once the undead went past Mo Fan and entered the spacious North Valley. The army of undead was unstoppable due to their numbers. Even ten Demon Mo Fans, even a hundred Demon Mo Fan would struggle to stop them all!
When the tide of undead came, even the sturdiest walls could not stop it!
---
Mo Fan's burning eyes flickered with a sense of helplessness when he saw the army of undead flowing past him.
Mo Fan recalled Headmaster Zhu's speech the day he became a Mage...
The numbers of demon creatures were hundreds, or even thousands of times the numbers of humans, and Mages only made up a small portion of humanity. The only way they could win with such difference in numbers was by becoming stronger. Each of them had to be strong enough to take on dozens, hundreds, or thousands of demon creatures...
How strong would he have to be to stop the army of the Great Pyramid of Giza?
How strong would he have to be so he did not have to see corpses littering the streets and tears pouring down like rain?
Did he manage to buy half a day for the people?
