Chapter 1 Kamul

The centaur Kamul looked at the guards closing in from all sides, his expression as stiff and severe as a plaster statue.

Hundreds of thousands of Tarris god race warriors were no joke.

Even with combat power that allowed him to look down on others of the same rank, and even if he wasn't in a weakened state, he wouldn't have the slightest confidence in breaking through the encirclement.

What's more, his contract teammate beside him seemed unreliable in every way.

For example: even now, this "Nicholas" showed no sign of opening the slave collar?

"Hey..."

Kamul had intended to offer a friendly reminder.

Although he knew that anyone summoned here by a god or demon was definitely not a mediocre individual, the current situation offered little chance of survival even for a demigod.

If things really went south, he was even prepared to charge out alone and escape. After all, besides archery, the centaur race was also extremely skilled in movement speed. Selling out a teammate wasn't exactly honorable, but it was better than having no chance of survival at all.

However, before he could speak, he saw Nicholas take out a red blood orb from who knows where. Then, a vortex of suction appeared in his palm, and the blood orb was absorbed into his body!

In the blink of an eye, "Nicholas'"s emaciated body, withered from half a month of hard labor, actually plumped up!

"A vampire?"

Kamul watched this scene, greatly puzzled.

It wasn't that he hadn't seen vampires before, but... wasn't this guy a death warlock?

He'd already been surprised to learn that he possessed ultra-high dragon blood.

Now, he was using abilities that only vampires had?

Just what was this guy's background?

Before he could think too much, the figures of guards had already appeared on the surrounding sand dunes. Kamul didn't hesitate to draw his elemental bow and unleash a volley of arrows.

"Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish..."

The elemental arrows swept across like a rainstorm, instantly clearing the guards on the hills.

......

Suren glanced sideways, thinking that even in his weakened state, Kamul's attack power wasn't inferior to that of an ordinary Rank 9.

The mythical centaur race was indeed as powerful as legends said.

However, at this moment, an accident suddenly occurred.

The surrounding guards swarmed over like a sandstorm. Before Kamul could fire his second volley of arrows, a white light flashed across the sky and struck Kamul with a "crack."

In that instant, even a Rank 9 like him felt as if he had been afflicted with a "weakness" aura upon being hit by the beam. He felt his magic instantly drained, and his four hooves nearly buckled, causing him to lose his footing.

"Not good! It's a large-scale restriction!"

Kamul wanted to break free, but he found that the beam had stuck to him like a spider web. No matter what method he used, he couldn't dispel the feeling of weakness.

With a double weakness aura stacked on him, he could now only use one percent of his combat power.

The dire situation had arrived more suddenly than expected.

He had wanted to fight to the death and charge out, but a glance to the side revealed a miraculous scene.

The strange white light hadn't affected "Nicholas" in the slightest?

......

In fact, Suren had noticed the anomaly through the Black Crow's vision just before the white light appeared.

The moment they assassinated Pharaoh Cleopatra IX, a large number of runes lit up on the pyramids near the Temple of the Sun. These pyramids were like the nodes of a magic array, and in the blink of an eye, they covered the entire space like a large net.

This was a super-large restriction. Suren had discovered it before.

He had a very profound understanding of various magic arrays and could see that this magic array wasn't fatal.

He just wanted to observe the effects of this super restriction, so he didn't take action.

Then, what had just happened occurred, and the centaur Kamul was hit, falling into a weakened state.

The Eye of Omniscience also clearly observed everything.

Instantly, Suren

understood what those runes he hadn't understood on the slave collar were for.

"Tsk tsk, so that's how it is."

Suren understood in his heart.

The reason why he hadn't been able to unlock the slave collar on his neck was this.

He hadn't been affected by the restriction beam at all because there was an "identity recognition" in the collar that allowed the restriction to avoid him and attack those who didn't have a collar.

Suren had previously deduced that the Tarris god race needed to manage so many slaves, several times the number of guards, so the collar's functions were naturally not that simple.

In addition to confinement and magic restriction, the most important thing was to be able to control the massive number of slaves when things went wrong.

A super restriction covering all areas was the best way to manage these countless slaves.

And if a slave wanted to unleash their strongest combat power, they would inevitably unlock the collar.

Once this logic was understood, he wasn't in a hurry to unlock the collar.

The collar was actually a life-saving charm during the turmoil.

However, Suren wasn't doing nothing.

He had also modified some of the rune settings inside the collar, such as the function of being detonated by the controller, and the magic restriction effect was also changed.

For Suren, this collar was now a tool to exploit the restriction's bug.

......

The centaur Kamul was stunned at first when he saw that Suren wasn't affected, his eyes full of confusion.

Immediately, that confusion turned into a joyful expression of hope.

Seeing this, how could he not guess that this "Nicholas" knew some strange methods to break this restriction!

He had thought he was going to die, but seeing Nicholas's indifferent expression, he had a thought that he himself found incredible for the first time: Perhaps there was still hope?

But... how did he do it?

He had always thought that the five people summoned by the demon god were all combatants of the same rank, and Kamul had always thought so.

But now, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be a strange guy mixed in among them.

Before he could think too much, the guards on the sand dunes were already densely packed. They gathered into a war formation and roared: "%&……. "￥.....&￥... "

Although the language was incomprehensible, he could understand that they meant: Capture that slave!

Kamul's face instantly turned ashen again.

Because in addition to the countless guards, he also saw more than one Rank 9 Tarris god race with beast heads and human bodies!

In his own plane, he was also a top powerhouse who had experienced countless large-scale wars, so he knew that this level of legion couldn't be swayed by one or two heroes.

The joy of the moment had instantly vanished.

He was surprised that "Nicholas" had cleverly avoided the restriction, but he didn't have any hope that the two of them could break through the encirclement.

In the current situation, they could only fight desperately.

How far they could go depended on fate. The atmosphere was extremely tense.

But looking to the side, his teammate still had a zombie face.

Kamul wondered if this Nicholas might have facial paralysis?

......

Suren didn't realize that his teammate had gone through such a complex mental process.

Looking at the approaching soldiers on the distant sand dunes, his eyes sharpened, and he suddenly moved!

He slashed down fiercely with his knife, and in an instant, the power of the law of death surged into Hypnos's Night Black Scythe. The huge scythe radiated a black light, and the blade silently cut through the air. In an instant, a crescent-shaped crack several hundred meters long formed simultaneously on the distant sand dunes.

Suren was now a Rank 9, a realm that had touched the ultimate power of the laws of mankind. In his hands, this sealed object now possessed its ultimate power!

With this slash, the figures on the sand dunes didn't even have any reaction, and everything was cut in two, turning into fountains of half-bodies.

With just this one slash, a large area of the sand dunes was cleared.

This scene made

Kamul beside him dumbfounded. The screen-clearing effect of this slash was even stronger than his arrow rain!

Only a Rank 9 powerhouse could truly feel the terror of that law level.

However, Suren, who had unleashed this exaggerated slash, still seemed to be testing the waters, muttering in his heart: "Still restricted by the collar for nearly half of my combat power, not very smooth..."

He had modified the magic-restricting runes on the slave collar earlier, but he still couldn't completely solve it, otherwise the collar would collapse.

However, being able to exert 50% of his combat power with this slash was much better than the previous 10%.

Suren thought in his heart: "But it should be enough."

However, this expression made the corners of Kamul's eyes twitch, and he couldn't help but ask: "You're not affected by the slave collar's magic restriction?!"

Suren raised his eyebrows, not intending to explain.

Because in just this moment, the surrounding sand dunes were already packed with people.

The two were surrounded.

Suren glanced at the direction where Dou Sheng Jieyi and the other two had escaped, and then glanced at the direction of the Temple of the Sun, making a decision in an instant.

He calmly stated his battle plan: "I'll charge ahead later, and you just follow me. I'll try my best to protect you."

Having signed a contract, he naturally had to protect this teammate.

Hearing this, Kamul glanced warily at the Tarris god race guards all over the mountains and plains, and asked: "How are we going to charge?"

Before the doubts could surface on his expression, a scene that he would never forget in his life suddenly unfolded before his eyes.

Tactics couldn't be explained in a few words. Suren didn't explain at all. With a stern expression, a death god phantom rose behind him.

He was now a Rank 9, and the death god phantom was as real as substance.

As soon as the second-stage phenomenon appeared, the terrifying power of the law of death overflowed, and his entire person grew taller and taller, gradually giving people an indescribable terrifying pressure as if a true hell death god had descended.

As soon as the phantom appeared, Suren's aura soared a hundredfold, finally revealing some of his strength for the first time.

A look of disdain for the world appeared in his eyebrows, and he whispered: "Domain · Realm of Lifelessness."

In an instant, with his feet as the center, a pitch-black domain like asphalt quickly expanded, covering the sand dunes in the blink of an eye.

......

This scene had shocked Kamul speechless: What's going on now?

Although he knew that a small number of humans would awaken some strange and rare talent abilities.

But looking at the phenomenon in front of him, which was like the descent of a death god, Kamul widened his eyes.

He hadn't seen it before, but that didn't mean he didn't understand the terror of this phenomenon

It actually made even a Rank 9 demigod archer like him feel a scalp-numbing pressure?

Luckily, it wasn't directed at him...

At this moment, Suren looked back and said, "Let's go."

With this one glance, Kamul felt as if the death god had glanced back for a moment, and instantly felt his hair stand on end.

Looking again, that person had already charged into the group of thousands of guards.

"No wonder he was the last person brought in by the Cursed Ship. So he's so strong!"

Kamul couldn't describe his current mood.

Although the other three "accomplices" were also very strong, he had understood a few things about them more or less.

However, this Nicholas gave him a feeling that the more he looked at him, the more incomprehensible and unfathomable he became!

Even after watching him unleash two slashes just now, Kamul not only didn't feel that he had seen through the other party's abilities, but instead felt even more mysterious.

Intuition told him that this death warlock was hiding even stronger abilities!

......

Reality didn't allow for much consideration.

Kamul heard the words "Let's go" and saw that the figure surrounded by death energy had already charged out.

Kamul didn't dare to delay and also charged up.

The centaur race had excellent mobility, but as he ran, he realized that he couldn't

The distance between him and that person in the distance was always neither too far nor too close.

It was in this detail that he realized how powerful that Nicholas was.

However, what was even more outrageous was still to come!

Kamul looked at the black domain under his feet. Although he knew that this was a domain condensed from the law of death, thinking that it was normal for a death warlock to have this.

But he didn't expect that the next second, he would realize how naive he was.

He had thought that this Nicholas would use some trump card methods, but he didn't expect that this guy would just plunge into that ten-thousand-man battle formation!

No tactics!

Just a reckless charge!

This was what made Kamul's heart palpitate.

He had once been the commander of a million-strong army, and no one knew the power of a battle formation better than him.

Each race had a war formation suitable for its own cultivation system. It was the strongest way to condense sand into a tower and exchange quantity for quality.

It could be said that an eighth-rank leader of a ten-thousand-man battle formation could unleash the combat power to kill a ninth-rank.

The battle formation of the Tarris god race guards in front of him was very powerful in the eyes of this professional, with almost no flaws. The coordination between legions could unleash even more terrifying damage.

Kamul was confident that he could kill through a few ten-thousand-man groups when he was at his peak.

But it was impossible right now!

In front of him, there were eighth-rank, ninth-rank, and even a demigod among those beast-headed and human-bodied leaders in the Tarris god race's battle formation!

If they went there, they would die for sure!

However, a scene that Kamul didn't expect happened before his eyes.

That "Nicholas" charged all the way, waving the black scythe a few times, and plunged into the ten-thousand-man battle formation with lightning speed.

What was even more bizarre was that the ten-thousand-man battle formation hardly launched any effective counterattacks, and tens of thousands of guards fell in large swathes like wheat being harvested?

Kamul was in a weakened state, and his body instinctively followed him in.

Then... he saw corpses all over the ground.

They were corpses in a terrifying state of death, eroded by a mysterious force, their life essence drained.

How was that possible?

How did he do it!

Kamul couldn't believe his eyes at all. He knew that these corpses were harvested by that death domain, but... the restrictions of the ten-thousand-man-level legion couldn't stop his domain?

Generally speaking, as long as a transcendent above the seventh rank could comprehend a domain, they could more or less resist the power of the domain. And a legion battle formation was a whole, and the assembled battle formation could share the damage.

Just as Kamul's mind was full of question marks, he saw that "Nicholas" slash a few times and charged into another ten-thousand-man group.

No!

That guy saw the flaws in the legion and destroyed the structure of the battle formation!

In an instant, Kamul understood everything.

The more he observed, the more shocked he became.

He found that the black scythe seemed to be waving casually, but after careful observation, he would find that every slash was accurately aimed at the key points of the legion's battle formation.

Like hitting the snake seven inches, that Nicholas used the smallest price to destroy the overall structure of the battle formation, and then he could use the domain to harvest the guards in swathes!

However, after seeing through this, Kamul was shocked again.

I understand the theory.

But how could that guy see through the flaws in a battle formation in such a short time?

You must know that the legion battle formations of each civilization have their own characteristics, and the flaws in mature legion battle formations are very small.

What a terrifying insight this was?

Their centaur race had extraordinary insight, but even Kamul himself didn't have any confidence.

He might be able to do it with a ten-thousand-man legion, but this was dozens of them!

Even though it was just an instant, it felt as if time had stopped. This guy had a huge staff team behind him to calculate the flaws in the battle formation, and then time resumed, and he charged up.

Overwhelming.

But even so, this was gambling with his life in Kamul's view!

He just rushed over like this. If he didn't see through the flaws, it would be like plunging into a trap full of knives, and he would die for sure.

Kamul followed all the way, his heart trembling all the way.

It was as if he had returned to the time when he participated in the war for the first time as a teenager. He was stunned the whole time, and everything would shock him.

This was a violent fluctuation in his mood that he hadn't had for many years.

But the outrageous thing was that this guy actually guessed right every time?

He vaguely guessed that this Nicholas's insight might be an ability he possessed.

But a death warlock was a dragon descendant, had the ability of a vampire, and had the talent of a death god phenomenon... all kinds of abilities were already shocking enough.

However, what was the situation with this terrifying insight that was discovered again?

Kamul had seen many races, but none were so special. It seemed to make people feel that they were seeing the ultimate Frankenstein.

He knew everything and understood everything! This was a situation he had never seen before.

Normally speaking, the human body could not gather so many special abilities

However, a thought flashed. Huh...

Suddenly, Kamul thought of an ancient legend in his clan.

Wasn't that civilization called the "God Thief" famous for producing these terrifying Frankensteins?

Could it be...

However, before he could think too much, Kamul looked at the direction they were breaking through and roared, "The direction is wrong! That's the Temple of the Sun?!"

Seeing that his teammate was so fierce and there was hope for a breakthrough, Kamul was overjoyed.

But looking at the direction they were rushing out, he was half-hearted again.

Weren't they going to the west to meet with the other three guys who betrayed them and then open the mausoleum door?

Why were they going to the heavily guarded Temple of the Sun in the east?

Before he could figure it out, that Nicholas had already rushed all the way.

Kamul could only follow closely.

......

In the sky, countless black crows flew around cawing.

Master Crow has now mastered the ability to split, and now he can almost infinitely split as long as he has enough energy.

This also brought Suren ample vision and perception.

He accurately broke through the battle formation all the way, and then slaughtered them all.

He originally thought it would be a little troublesome, but these Tarris god race guards guarding the mausoleum seemed to be used to being lazy. Even with the blessing of the battle formation, they had long been full of flaws because they had not practiced it.

At most, they could be considered a second-rate legion.

Suren's evaluation was: Far inferior to the ten-thousand-man magic group of the Celestial God Plane.

This also made it easier for him, saving too much trouble.

He now had the [Blasphemer] Second Solution [All-Knowing Sleep], which could see everything on the battlefield.

The flawed battle formation was naturally easy for him to slaughter.

As for those ninth-rank leaders, they did pose a threat, but Suren didn't plan to fight them to the death, retreating as soon as they touched each other.

What they had to do now was break through, not kill people.

And he didn't pay attention to the roar behind him where the centaur Kamul said "You're going the wrong way."

Because Suren's goal was the Temple of the Sun.

Although he was trapped in an encirclement, he had already seen through the whole field.

How could he not have noticed that Dou Sheng Jieyi, the barbarian Ralph, and the dragon girl Marcia were also in a very bad situation?

With the restriction in place, although the three of them were not surrounded and killed by so many people, it was very difficult.

They still had the important task of opening the mausoleum door, and if Suren and the other two went to meet them, they would attract all the troops over.

At that time, it might be the end of the group.

Suren vaguely felt that this was very likely.

On the contrary, if they rushed to the Temple of the Sun, those guards would think that they would offend the temple and concentrate the troops and experts over.

This could also be considered encircling Wei to rescue Zhao.

Share the pressure on the other side, at least let them open the mausoleum first.

What's more, Suren had another purpose: information!

After Pharaoh Cleopatra IX was killed, her body was still in the same place, three of the four ninth-rank personal guards were also dead, and there was a pile of guards...

Looking at those groups of "gray mist", this was the best source of information.

Now the biggest problem in this yellow sand plane was information.

Apart from the superficial information harvested from the slaves, there was almost nothing about this pyramid mausoleum.

The unease in Suren's heart vaguely pointed to Pharaoh Cleopatra IX, who had just been killed.

He had to confirm something.

And after reaping a harvest from charging and killing the ten-thousand-man battle group, he felt even more that he had to make a trip to the Temple of the Sun.

......

Suren rushed all the way, his speed as fast as lightning.

Although the centaur Kamul behind him was in a weakened state, it had to be said that four legs could indeed run faster than two, and this centaur didn't fall behind at all.

And their reverse charge also confused the Tarris god race guards.

Those temple guards also never expected that those slaves would kill the pharaoh and still rush to the temple?

However, the experts of the temple had already chased after the three people who had snatched the [Key of Eternal Life], which allowed Suren to smoothly rush to the scene where the pharaoh was assassinated and come into contact with those still-warm bodies.

But at this moment, Suren discovered an anomaly.

"No soul...?"

He rushed over and harvested the souls of those guards and three ninth-rank guards.

But he was surprised to find that the soul of the most important Pharaoh Cleopatra IX was missing!

It had completely disappeared!

Suren immediately realized that something was wrong.

He looked at Dou Sheng Jieyi and the other three who were opening the mausoleum door, and his eyes gradually deepened.

His memory instantly digested, and he extracted some top-secret information that was not known to outsiders from the souls of the pharaoh's personal guards.

In the blink of an eye, Suren had pieced together all the clues in his mind, deduced the most reasonable situations, and sighed in his heart: "As expected, this task is not easy to complete..."

No matter which one it was, it pointed to the fact that the beautiful pharaoh might not have died!
