The Rose School of Thought Demigod, hidden in a dark corner, wore a hooded black robe and a mask with a golden base and red and black stripes covering his face. He was neither fat nor thin, but he was definitely not short, at least 1.8 meters tall.

After using the " Marauder " method Sealed Artifact Stealing Tutanssess II's coffin to his doorstep, his body immediately became transparent and stretched out, seemingly turning into a thick, long, and soft rope.

The transparent, almost ethereal "rope" swiftly coiled around the heavy golden coffin, intending to take it into the Spirit World.

Just then, the Demigod of the Rose School of Thought suddenly heard a violent whistling sound in his ears; the wind colliding with the air produced an explosive noise:

Boom!

Tutanssess II's golden coffin was blown away, and the transparent "ropes" surrounding it snapped open, shrinking back into human form.

The Demigod of the Rose School of Thought first floated uncontrollably upwards, then transformed into Wraith —no, Evil Spirit —letting the gale blow through his body, no longer moving.

He saw the air currents swirling rapidly, and an unstoppable Tornado suddenly rose from the ground, simultaneously lifting stones, gravel, debris, and the tops of parts of the dock buildings into the air. Even the horse-drawn carriages that had been running on their own were lifted into the air because of their proximity, breaking apart into pieces of wood in the wind.

What seems lucky, but is actually normal, is that the dark area where the Rose School of Thought Demigod were originally hiding was free of Loen soldiers and far from the main road.

The woman wearing a crown of thorns and a black evening gown was obstructed by the Tornado, causing her body to sway backward involuntarily. Unable to rush to the golden coffin that had been thrown into the air, she could only turn her body to the side and cast her gaze toward a warehouse far away outside the Dock Borough.

Then she turned to look at the Demigod of the Rose School of Thought, who was unaffected by the Tornado.

"Imprison!" The woman, who was also wearing a golden mask, raised her left hand and grasped the enemy's figure in her field of vision.

The demigod of the Rose School possessed extremely strong spiritual intuition and could sense danger from the spirit world at any time. He would take a half-step ahead and, with a "mirror flash," leap onto a piece of broken glass seventy or eighty meters away.

At this moment, the Tornado seemed to lose its ability to sustain itself and quickly subsided.

Thud! Thud! Thud! One by one, the rolled-up items fell to the ground, including Tutanssess II's golden coffin.

Bang!

It smashed a crater, and the structure, already on the verge of collapse in the Tornado, completely crumbled.

The top coffin lid flew off, and the gold and jewels buried with the coffins, along with the first two layers of coffins, scattered in all directions.

Then, the bottom coffin tumbled a few times, and a gold box and a jade jar fell out, containing shriveled internal organs.

A corpse wrapped entirely in yellowish-brown linen strips rolled out, its surface stained with a dark red, oily liquid.

This is the mummy made after the death of Tutanssess II. It is extremely thin, and its face is covered with a gold-based mask with colorful patterns similar to that of the Demigod of the Rose School of Thought. Two exceptionally pure black gemstones are inlaid in the eye sockets.

As soon as the mummy appeared, the surroundings seemed to dim slightly, and the main body of the golden coffin stopped moving. Dark red liquid flowed out from it, soaking the soil near the pit.

The Rose School of Thought Demigod who possessed the " Marauder's " pathway Sealed Artifact was initially furious upon witnessing this scene, but then, as if realizing something, his eyes lit up with surprise.

His figure suddenly vanished from the broken glass, about to Blink on Tutanssess II's two black gemstone "eyes," then possess and Manipulation them, entering the Spirit World with the mummy as the main body!

Suddenly, the mummy he sensed in his Evil Spirit vision disappeared.

At the same time, the mummy of Tutanssess II, whose golden crown was askew, sprang up and turned his face, inlaid with black gemstones, toward one of the lighthouses in Pritz Harbor.

The pharaoh, who had been dead for countless centuries, then let out a terrifying sound that was not of human origin, and his withered legs, wrapped in yellowish-brown bandages, took long strides and ran away!

It seemed to be seeking freedom, but it forgot one thing: it was a corpse, and it should lie quietly.

Throat! Throat! Throat! The mummy of Tutanssess II accelerated immediately upon its start.

Upon seeing this, the woman in the evening gown wearing a crown of thorns raised her right hand and aimed it at the mutated mummy.

"All the dead will rest in peace," she uttered a few words in Ancient Hermes.

Bang!

Tutanssess II's mummy suddenly leaped up, jumping in another direction, escaping the place where the dead would finally rest with agility unbecoming of a corpse.

The dark-haired, golden-eyed man who was chasing " The Silent Disciple " Mahams from a distance narrowed his eyes, and the ring on his hand once again emitted a crystal-like light.

His figure then Teleportation in front of the mummy, attempting to stop the dead from leaving.

However, Tutanssess II changed direction again and charged at the enemy from another angle.

It kept changing its direction of travel, seemingly moving erratically with the goal of getting closer to the lighthouse!

" The Silent Disciple " Mahams's heart stirred, and his figure vanished abruptly, Blink on a piece of broken glass not far from the mummy.

Using this as a springboard, he finally succeeded in making his figure stand out on the two black gems in the eye sockets of Tutanssess II!

Although the previous Demigod of the Loen military had forbidden Possession, the pharaoh mummy of the Highland Kingdom was not a mere object; it retained some traces of spirit!

Seeing his companion succeed, the Rose School of Thought Demigod who possessed the " Marauder " pathway Sealed Artifact did not hesitate to extend his black-gloved left hand, aim at the lady in the evening dress, make a fist, and turn it halfway around.

The woman was momentarily stunned, then found herself tightly bound by her evening gown. Almost simultaneously, the Loen soldiers on the distant warehouse rooftop, unable to control their weapons, aimed and pulled the triggers.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Those steel Monster with thick cannons also fired shells at the lady in the evening gown.

The golden-eyed Demigod of the Loen military did not attempt to rescue his companion. Instead, he looked at the mummy of Tutanssess II, who had ceased to move due to being possessed by Mahams, clenched his right fist, and swung it down sharply:

" Execution!"

A fleeting joy crossed his eyes, because it didn't matter if the mummy died again, but not for Mahams!

On the other side, the bullets and shells, which were about to hit the lady in the evening gown, suddenly slowed down, as if they were stuck in a swamp of air, repelled by the Edict.

The crown of thorns on the lady's head suddenly shone brightly, squandering most of the "ocean of light" she had previously accumulated.

The Demigod of the Rose School of Thought, draped in a hooded robe, immediately discovered that the not-so-close distance between himself and the other party had vanished, completely erased. In other words, he had "arrived" in front of the lady in the evening gown and saw her raise her right hand.

In that right hand, pure light condensed and transformed into a blazing spear. At the front of the spear, two pure white wings unfolded, adorning the tip like Angel.

The Demigod of the Rose School of Thought suddenly widened his eyes, hearing the footsteps of death. He tried to leap away using " Mirror Blink," only to find that he was surrounded by wings with pure white feathers.

A surge of intense fear overwhelmed his reason, urging him to abandon his resistance to the source and the power.

Just then, a piercing cry suddenly rang out, and the woman in the evening gown's pupils briefly dilated.

The blazing spear in her right hand veered off course, losing its stability and disintegrating into brilliant rays that billowed into the air like Storm.

Near the mummy of Tutanssess II, " The Silent Disciple " Mahams had been ejected, and a dirty rag doll had fallen beside him.

The rag doll now has a nearly piercing tear across its chest.

It stood up, its eyeless face Distortion and contorted as if it had come to life, and it kept emitting mournful cries. The golden-eyed Demigod of the Kingdom of Loen, not far away, seemed to be gripped by Invisible Hand, struggling and kicking his legs in mid-air.

It was because of the existence of this rag doll that Mahams was not " Execution," and that the other Demigod of the Rose School of Thought was not hit by the blazing spear.

Upon seeing this, the latter immediately performed a " Mirror Blink," approaching the mummy of Tutanssess II, who was still intently gazing in the direction of the lighthouse, preparing to seize the opportunity to join forces with Mahams to achieve the objective of this operation.

At that moment, the woman in the evening gown once again erased the distance, appearing directly above this area, her crown of thorns radiating the purest light.

She pressed her right hand down and said:

"The mystery here has diminished, reality has increased!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the filthy rag doll stained with blood lost its expression and stopped wailing. The golden-eyed Demigod of the Loen military was finally able to catch his breath and forcibly pulled away the cursed hand that was gripping his throat.

From this moment on, the power of these Demigod will weaken relatively quickly, while their attacks based on reality will increase rapidly.

In other words, the Loen soldiers on the rooftops of the surrounding warehouses and the Steam tanks slowly approaching on tracks will be the key to victory in this battle!

For the Loen military, this actually maximized their own advantages!

Mahams and another Rose School of Thought Demigod reacted immediately; one tried to possess the mummy, and the other attempted to pick up the eyeless rag doll and escape before their power diminished.

Of course, the lady in the evening gown and the golden-eyed Demigod wouldn't let the enemy do whatever they wanted, but just as they were about to make their move, a streak of light shot into the sky from afar and exploded into a dreamlike, colorful firework.

Immediately afterwards, the two Demigod were simultaneously Spirit Intuition and turned to look in the opposite direction.

A hand wearing a transparent glove reached out from the void near Tutanssess II's golden coffin and grasped a clump of soil soaked in dark red liquid.

Those liquids were a mixture of Tutanssess II's brain matter and bodily fluids, ritual materials for maintaining Spirituality, and the latter included blood plasma!

Mahams and the Rose School of Thought Demigod who possessed the " Marauder " pathway Sealed Artifact also looked in that direction, and just then they saw a figure in a suit and top hat come into view.

The figure was bending down to pick up a clump of soil soaked in dark red liquid.

Throughout this process, his right hand remained pressed against his left chest, as if he were bowing to several Demigod. Then, maintaining this posture, he looked up, revealing a face wearing a gray-iron mask, which quickly faded and disappeared.
