Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 152: The Final Battle at the Pyramid
Osasura snorted coldly, and the sinister smile on his originally shriveled face immediately disappeared. He straightened his face, "The master and the servant are the same, both so anxious. One has only evolved into a pharaoh not long ago, and his strength has not yet reached the top, but he is eager to challenge the Great Pharaoh. The master doesn't even have the patience to listen to a few words. Do you think that I, the Great Pharaoh, am just a name in vain and will definitely win? That's too much of an overestimation of myself. Compared with the Pharaoh, the Great Pharaoh is not just two or one level higher in level, representing the supreme... The magical effect and power of the authoritative 'pyramid' are beyond your imagination. Even if the master and servant join forces, two against one, with your current strength, you are simply not my opponent. I cherish talents, and I see that you are a rare new Pharaoh with a fire attribute physique, and it is not easy to cultivate. I can't bear to easily destroy a promising rising star. Since you are determined to die, I don't need to say anything more. Once the war starts, I will not show mercy to you until you die. You better be careful. "
It has been talking so much, saying that it cherishes talent and that it cannot bear it. Could it be that it has realized that I am not easy to deal with, and that it is a little guilty because it is strong on the outside but weak on the inside? I am in no mood to waste words with it for a target that cannot be conquered and is destined to be killed. However, facing the enemy that has been resented for a thousand years, Khufu still can't help but say a few words to it, "Don't bother Pharaoh Osasura. We still know a little about your character and reputation. I hope the final result will not surprise you too much."
According to the rules of the Great Pharaoh's promotion challenge, they should enter the "pyramid" for a duel. Osasura raised his hands to the sky, muttering something, and the "pyramid" tightly clasped above his head slowly floated into the air, slowly rotating at a constant speed, and at the same time, the black light spread out in all directions, covering us all. The black light became stronger and stronger, and lasted for about five minutes. The "pyramid" above suddenly began to expand rapidly, becoming larger and larger, and then fell from the sky. With a loud "boom", the earth was shaken, and Khufu and I couldn't help shaking our bodies twice. The eyes were slightly dark. The four sides and the sky were blocked by a layer of transparent yellow barrier, standing in the space formed by the "pyramid".
The space inside the "pyramid" is very vast, far exceeding the actual area it covers, and much larger than I imagined. It seems that the "space expansion" technology should be used, and there is enough space for us to fight. Although it is slightly darker than outside, the walls are transparent, and the interference with visibility is not great, and it will not affect our decisive battle. A faint black light pours down from the top, omnipresent. No matter where you are, you can't avoid the exposure of the black light. What's more troublesome is that each beam of black light comes with a very strong curse effect. Under the continuous exposure of the cursed light, after only a moment, not only I, a necromancer, but even Khufu was not spared. The status display was cursed, and some attribute values were more or less weakened.
This should be a wonderful use of the "pyramid", which can launch a large-scale curse attack. Moreover, we are now in the "pyramid", and I am afraid that we will be threatened by the curse at any time. Even the pharaoh, who is also a curse master, is only more resistant, and is not completely immune to the curse. It is really unfair for the challenging pharaoh to fight with the curse. Compared with Khufu, I am naturally more affected. Fortunately, I can rely on the "Death Field", which should be able to eliminate the influence of the curse light. Otherwise, I am afraid that I really don't have the confidence to compete with Osasura.
Osasura also appeared far away at the other end of the "pyramid", more than a hundred meters away from us. The small "pyramid" on its head had disappeared, and it should have transformed into this huge "pyramid", revealing a bald head. However, a dim yellow light shot down from the top, covering its body, moving with it, and never leaving it. According to Khufu's inference, it should have the effect of strengthening the defense effect, which is an inherent attribute bonus of the "pyramid" for the holder. In that case, even the "death field" may not be able to offset the effect of this solid yellow light.
With Khufu protecting me, I held the "Death Scepter" and started to activate the "Death Field". Although Osasura was rushing over, there was more than a hundred meters between us. The mummy was not good at speed, and it had no long-range attack skills, so it was impossible for it to stop me from casting spells. Before it rushed over, I had successfully cast the "Death Field". In order to save mental energy to support a protracted battle that would take an unknown amount of time, I did not expand the function of the "Death Field" to the maximum, and only covered an area of 30 meters in radius. Khufu mainly blocked the battle in front, ensuring that I could have a relatively safe rear and would not be threatened by Osasura.
Under the effect of the "Death Field", the cursed light in the shrouded area was indeed eliminated, but the curse effect that Khufu and I had suffered before would last for a while, so we didn't rush to fight with Osasura, but quickly retreated to the rear, waiting for Khufu to fully recover, and tried to avoid the influence of unfavorable factors. After all, Osasura was a great pharaoh of the ninth level, two levels higher than Khufu, and he had the "pyramid" as an aid, so he must not be careless and could not easily suffer unnecessary damage.
Osasura's speed was even faster than Khufu's. He chased us with all his strength and quickly approached us. The distance was getting closer and closer. Soon he rushed into the coverage of the "Death Field". He immediately realized that something was wrong and hurriedly stepped back a few steps to get out of the effect area. He looked carefully and should have seen the faint black ripples released in front of him. He hesitated for a moment and then stepped in again, this time a few meters deeper, and then retreated. He repeated this several times, as if he was testing the damage effect of the "Death Field". At this time, I just wanted to use the "Death Field" to eliminate the influence of the cursed light. Before Osasura entered the attack area, the "Death Ripples" only maintained the minimum release frequency. With its strength of the ninth upper stage, it should not have much impact. I don't know whether to praise it for being cautious or laugh at it for being timid and afraid of death.
However, even after entering the "Death Realm", the yellow light covering Osasura's body was not affected at all. It seems that the "Pyramid" is indeed an inherent attribute bonus for the holder, which is equivalent to a piece of equipment and will not be affected by the "Death Realm". Osasura's defense ability cannot be weakened, and it will be more difficult to kill it. It is destined to be a difficult and protracted battle.
After several attempts, Osasura made up his mind and went deep into the "Death Field" and approached me. I immediately increased the frequency of releasing "Death Ripples". The mummy itself has a high defense ability, coupled with the yellow light protecting its body, I did not expect to cause much direct damage to it. I mainly relied on the "shock" effect to affect its actions and buy more opportunities for Khufu's close combat.
Under the influence of the "shock", Osasura was unsteady on his feet and stumbled several times. At this time, Khufu had eliminated the curse effect and was eager to compete with this thousand-year-old enemy. After receiving my order to attack, he immediately rushed forward and waved his fire bone staff to meet him. Unexpectedly, Osasura did not dare to fight on the spot, and withdrew from the area covered by the "death field". He then took a stance and waited for Khufu to rush over.
I couldn't help but feel angry. With such an itinerary, he was still acting like a great pharaoh? He should have been attacking recklessly, but he acted like a coward, retreating at the slightest sign of trouble. He immediately glanced at Khufu, who had retreated according to the order, and said, "Is this the companion who went on adventures with you more than a thousand years ago to train himself? With such courage, he dared to go deep into the Dragon Bone Mountain. He must have been scared to death. Did you recognize the wrong person?"
"Even though its appearance has changed a little, its inherent soul aura will not change unless it is seriously injured and demoted like me and has to start over. I am sure it is it. Who knows why it becomes less courageous as its level increases and why it is so timid when encountering things? It was definitely not like this when I knew it before." On the one hand, Khufu confirmed the identity of his nemesis, but he did not know why Osasura had become like this.
Could it be that he had plotted against Khufu before and felt guilty, which led to a change in his temperament and caution, fearing that he would fall into someone else's trap? I don't know, so I can only make such malicious guesses. Osasura refused to take the initiative to chase me, and I didn't have the patience to continue to stalemate with it. I didn't know how it was activating the "Pyramid". The "Death Field" was constantly consuming my mental strength. If I delayed for a few more minutes, I would have less hope of victory. I didn't retreat at the moment, and rushed straight to Osasura. I took the initiative to find it to fight. I didn't believe it. As a great pharaoh, it would not have the momentum of a leader at all. It was chased by two of us challengers and fled everywhere?
After retreating a little, facing my relentless pressure , perhaps because he had tested that the "Death Ripple" was not a big threat, Osasura finally showed a little dignity of the Great Pharaoh, and finally stopped, no longer avoiding, and stepped forward, entering the "Death Field", and began to directly meet Khufu's challenge. The skills used by the Great Pharaoh and the Pharaoh are no different. The commonly used one is the "Mad Wand Method". The other "Thunder Strike" consumes a lot of energy, so it is generally not used easily unless it is 90% sure or it is a last resort. Osasura's agility was originally higher than Khufu's, but it was affected by the shock effect of the "Death Ripple", and he was slightly inferior in terms of flexibility. Although Khufu had experienced a thousand years of reconstruction and his overall strength was not as good as his former companions, he survived in the challenging environment of the "Hell Volcano" until now, and followed me through many fierce battles. He also challenged the lower-level Hell Dragon of Level 10, and repeatedly faced the siege of several bone dragons in normal exercises. He was never at a disadvantage in terms of actual combat experience. Moreover, he had a certain understanding of Osasura, and he knew both himself and his enemy. In the several rounds of confrontation, Khufu had a clear plan of advance and retreat, and attacked in time. As long as Osasura was affected by the shock and showed a slight flaw, he would be caught immediately, and hit the opponent a few more times. However, Osasura had a "pyramid" to increase his defense, and his body only shook slightly after being hit by a stick, and then rushed over again as if nothing had happened. It seemed that the damage caused was minimal. As a great pharaoh with special equipment, it is indeed not so easy to deal with.
In order to help Khufu more effectively, I have increased the release frequency of "Death Ripple" to the maximum. Fortunately, I am facing a melee profession like Osasura. Although I cannot transform into a bat, I can use thief skills such as "One Ride Away from the Dust" and "Shadow Change" to dodge. I only need to maintain the "Death Domain" within a radius of 30 meters, and the consumption is only one-eighth of the state of the 100-meter area. In addition, the mental power amplification effect of "Supreme Witch Crown" and "Blood Emperor Robe". If there is no other consumption, it can support at least 30 hours, enough time to fight with Osasura. Moreover, the "Dead Scepter" itself has a high magic attack or auxiliary effect, and can look for opportunities to use undead magic to cooperate with Khufu to attack. The more important role is to cast "Undead Soul" to timely treat Khufu's injuries and replenish its mental power to extend its lasting combat time limit. Anyway, casting undead magic saves 25% of mental power, which is equivalent to indirectly enhancing Khufu's combat effectiveness.
Although he no longer evaded, Osasura also realized that the "Death Domain" was very unfavorable to him, and he always tried his best to force Khufu out of the domain, even at the cost of a few sticks, showing the posture of exchanging injuries for injuries, forcing Khufu to retreat. However, Khufu had extremely rich practical experience, and always resolved crises by cleverly moving in situations that were unfavorable to him. Whether advancing or retreating, he tried his best not to leave the coverage area of the "Death Domain", and at the same time, he had to pay attention to blocking between Osasura and me to prevent it from posing a direct threat to me. And I kept moving my position, cooperating with Khufu's actions, and tried my best to keep the battle between the two of them in the "Death Domain", not allowing Osasura to leave for a moment - although the direct damage caused by the "Death Ripple" was not great, if I released it at the maximum frequency, it would be a big burden for Osasura to bear it for 10 to 20 hours.
As the battle continued, both of them endured many blows from the other side. Osasura and Khufu, who were fighting in close combat, were cursed by each other. As a higher-level pharaoh, the curse effect of Osasura was naturally stronger, but Khufu's fire attribute constitution had a stronger restraining effect on the curse, so he didn't suffer much. It was just that with the yellow light protection of the "pyramid", Osasura's defense ability was still a little beyond my expectations, so I couldn't think of a better way to crack it, and I could only slowly consume it. If it weren't for Khufu's fire attribute damage effect, it wouldn't be so comfortable to be hit. The cloth strips wrapped around many parts of its body had already shown signs of scorching. In addition, the shock effect of the "death ripple" was also a great restraint for it. Many times it couldn't launch an attack smoothly, missing many opportunities, and giving Khufu more opportunities to take advantage of. I'm afraid it would be even more unscrupulous. As a Pharaoh who has just evolved, Khufu's strength still has a lot of room for improvement. It is indeed risky to choose to challenge the Great Pharaoh now. Fortunately, I have learned the magic of "Soul of the Dead" and the "Scepter of the Dead" has played a huge role. I finally still have the strength to fight.
In this kind of duel, there are no more tricks. Osasura and Khufu are both familiar with their opponents' skills and know how to avoid them more effectively and reduce damage. It's all about personal combat awareness and skills to see who can create and seize opportunities better. Of course, the key to victory still depends on the cooperation between Khufu and me. How to cover them in the "death field" of 30 meters as much as possible while ensuring our own safety, so as to reduce the danger to Khufu and increase the damage to Osasura.
After more than 20 hours of stalemate, Osasura was defeated. The cursed light was ineffective and the attack was blocked, which greatly limited the effectiveness of the "pyramid" and its own strength. It can be said that the "death field" was the main reason for its failure. It played a vital role in both attack and defense. It also realized the threat I brought. It had repeatedly gotten rid of Khufu's entanglement and directly chased me. Although it created a lot of dangers and almost hurt me several times, it was finally defeated by the tacit cooperation between Khufu and me, and was unable to consume my mental power and destroy the operation of the "death field".
After gaining an absolute advantage, Khufu revealed his identity, causing Osasura to lose the last bit of courage to resist and completely collapse. According to his last words, it was because he framed Khufu that led to the tragic death of his friend, and he was also greatly stimulated. He struggled in pain every day, and finally lost his former sharpness and no longer had the spirit of striving for progress. The manipulator behind all this was the Great Pharaoh Jefferson, who was known as the strongest among the mummy clan and was committed to becoming the pharaoh who only existed in legends and had supreme authority. He saw the great potential of Khufu and was worried that it would hinder his own development plan, so he lured Osasura with the throne of the Great Pharaoh, causing him to harm Khufu and himself.
