1590 Scorpion Lord Medusa, Part Two (1/2)

Edited by Aelryinth

The snake-haired head slowly rose from the darkness. Its enormous dark-red scorpion body slowly filled up the group's vision.

”Gods!” Meos was slowly backing away in fear.

The others were terrified, too. Even though they were mentally prepared to face a Ruler-level creature in the chamber, they did not expect it to be a Scorpion Lord Medusa!

A Scorpion Lord Medusa was a Great Ruler-level creature. A Scorpion Lord Medusa was equivalent to seven or eight Dark Swordmasters; the Advisor Mummy was only as strong as one Dark Swordmaster! The only reason the Advisor Mummy had lost was because it used the Lightning Element on Mo Fan. If it had used another Element, it could easily have wiped out the entire group!

There were huge differences between Ruler-level creatures, too. The Scorpion Lord Medusa was obviously above average among the Ruler-level creatures, one that could easily enter the limelight during a battle!

”What do we do now… what do we do now… should we just kill ourselves?” Zhao Manyan blurted out as his mind went blank.

”Shreev, are you trying to set us up? Why is there a Scorpion Lord Medusa in a mummy chamber? Are you trying to get us all killed?” Sayed yelled.

”How do I know? I'm in despair, too!” Shreev answered, his face twisted.

The group immediately retreated to the entrance. They did not want to fight this Ruler-level creature, nor did they want to end their lives. It seemed like going back to the previous chamber was the only choice they had!

The Scorpion Lord Medusa had climbed out from the hole. It was staring at the group.

”Look out for its...” Heidi quickly reminded the others when she sensed an energy sweeping at them. However, her body was painted gray in the middle of her words!

Heidi did not even have the chance to finish her sentence. Her attractive face turned into a statue, together with her slender body. It happened so quickly that Heidi did not even have time to think, let alone trying to defend herself.

Meos was just about to set up her defense after seeing what happened to Heidi. She had brought quite a lot of defensive equipment, as many as Zhao Manyan had, but she had just activated the seal in her soul to Summon her magic Equipment when her body swiftly turned into stone after the Scorpion Lord Medusa set its eyes on her.

Normally, it would take some time to cast Petrify on a target and for the spell to turn it into a statue. However, The Scorpion Lord Medusa had turned Meos into a statue in a second with just a quick glimpse!

”I don't want to turn into a statue! Mo Fan, quick, think of a plan!” Zhao Manyan yelped.

The Scorpion Lord Medusa found Zhao Manyan's voice too annoying. It quickly shifted its gaze onto him.

When the Petrifying energy swept at Zhao Manyan, the Seal of a tortoise shell suddenly burst out from him. The Seal formed a tiny shell to prevent the spell from sealing his soul.

The Scorpion Lord Medusa's stony gaze had failed. Zhao Manyan was overjoyed when he realized he was not petrified.

That old tortoise kept saying how he did not care if Zhao Manyan was dead, since he could move on and look for a stronger and more talented successor. However, he still stepped forward and saved Zhao Manyan's life when it mattered. Zhao Manyan was so touched that he was on the verge of bursting into tears!

The Scorpion Lord Medusa was even more annoyed. Its indifferent gaze turned into a glare. A stronger Petrifying energy swept at Zhao Manyan like an invisible tide.

Zhao Manyan did not realize the Scorpion Lord Medusa was not even using its true power. The Seal inside the Totem Container could only protect Zhao Manyan briefly when his life was in danger. It had managed to nullify a Ruler-level creature's attack, but Baxia was not omnipotent. It was already quite impressive that he had protected Zhao Manyan once when he was miles away. It was impossible for him to keep protecting Zhao Manyan!

Zhao Manyan's feet soon stiffened. The energy slowly reached his waist and his chest...

”Not... like... this!” Zhao Manyan uttered his last words.

The expression on Zhao Manyan's face as he was turning into a statue was displaying his regret of not being able to fulfill his ambition of spreading his seed across the world. A certain level of force could easily smash him into dust!

”Please... spare my life, I didn't mean to trespass into your palace! Let me go...” Sayed was utterly terrified. He started to beg for his life.
