Of course, the High Priest was meticulous as well. Having decided to drag Lin Yuan back along with the Coffin, he would naturally guard against a sudden attack.
"Let me reinforce that for you!"
With a thought from the High Priest, four steel spikes formed from black mud instantly appeared at the four corners of the Coffin's lid, sealing it shut.
"Now let's see you... holy shit!"
The High Priest had just been about to smugly declare his victory when he saw the Coffin's side panel suddenly open. Lin Yuan swung a Light Blade from within, slicing an Eight-Star Priest nearby in two.
"That damned Coffin of yours actually has a side door!"
The High Priest roared, and countless streams of black mud instantly sealed the Coffin tight.
Now, no matter how many hidden doors the Coffin had, none could open.
But what the High Priest could not see was the slight upward curl of Lin Yuan's lips inside the Coffin.
"Good job sealing it!"
The next instant, an incomparably immense pressure descended upon the scene!
A silent yet deafening roar rang out in everyone's mind.
"The Great... Being!"
The Crawlers present instantly recognized the source of this pressure.
It was none other than the transcendent being they devoutly believed in, served, and depended upon!
Yet at the arrival of their "lord," these Crawlers, who should theoretically have been overjoyed, all wore expressions of utter terror.
"No, don't...!"
Almost instinctively, all the Crawler Priests fled madly into the distance!
Had anyone else witnessed this scene, they would surely have thought it the perfect illustration of professing to love dragons only to fear a real one.
But the Great Being was not as gentle as the dragon in that story.
At the very moment the Crawlers fled, that pressure abruptly intensified!
