1570 Seven Dark Swordmasters (2/2)

A dark red basin became visible ahead. The three Pyramids of Gisele stood in the distance. The group could feel their magnificence from afar.

The Great Pyramid of Giza was the tallest and so naturally the largest among them. The Pyramid closest in size beside it was the Pyramid of Khafre, with the Sphinx at its side. The creature was clearly in deep slumber, now covered in sand. It looked no different than a huge statue.

”It's the Sphinx… luckily, it's still asleep, or we wouldn't have any chance of getting close to the Great Pyramid of Giza or the Pyramid of Khafre,” Shreev said, staring into the distance.

”I injured him before, so I don't think he's going to wake up anytime soon,” Mo Fan said.

”You injured him? My God, I've never seen anyone so shameless before!” Sayed screeched.

Meos, Heidi, and Shreev looked at Mo Fan like he was crazy.

”I knew you won't believe me,” Mo Fan shrugged in an indifferent manner.

”Err… wasn't the Mountain Zombie the one that beat the crap out of him?” Zhao Manyan whispered.

”It's more or less the same,” Mo Fan whispered back.

The Sphinx was the final Boss protecting the Pyramids. If he was on alert, only Forbidden Mages could approach the Pyramids!

However, Forbidden Mages would be restricted by the magic Formations of the Pyramids. As a result, the Pyramids had remained a great mystery for many, many years.

”I'm afraid there are two problems we have to face. The first is the Ashen Storm of Hatred, and the second is the Dark Swordmasters. There are ten Dark Swordmasters patrolling outside the Pyramids...” Shreev went on.

”Seven,” Mo Fan corrected him.

”Keep quiet if you don't know anything. Do you think you are more familiar with the Great Pyramid of Giza than us!?” Meos grumbled.

Apart from the Sphinx beside the Pyramid of Khafre, there were ten Dark Swordmasters protecting the Great Pyramid of Giza too. Many Egyptians would have heard about the legend before. Why would Mo Fan say there were only seven of them?

”Three of them are dead,” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan clearly remembered that three of the Dark Swordmasters were killed in the battle at Beijiang. One was killed by the Nether Bone Dragon, while the other two were knocked to the ground by the Flesh Mound Corpse Officials that the Mountain Zombie tossed out, and the zombies and skeletons devoured them.

It was unlikely that creatures of their level could be replaced right away. Even Khufu was unlikely to recruit new Dark Swordmasters within the next century!

”Those Dark Swordmasters are Ruler-level creatures. A single one of them is enough to crush us into pieces. I think we should just go back instead of dying for no reason here!” Sayed said.

”Don't worry, we'll find a way to deal with them, now that we are already here. I still have some Pharaoh Spring. I'll use it when we reach the Pyramid of Menkaure. It will trigger infighting between the mummies in the Pyramid of Menkaure. The Dark Swordmasters are in charge of the order of the three Pyramids. The fight at the Pyramid of Menkaure is going to lure them over. When that happens, you just have to climb to that certain spot on the Pyramids and take the ghost train provided by the Ashen Storm of Hatred to enter the Pyramids,” Shreev said.

”Didn't you keep mentioning how terrifying the Ashen Storm of Hatred is?” Heidi asked with a confused face.
