Imhotep's roar could only be understood by Evelynn, who was fluent in ancient Egypt, and Xu Xiao.
To others, it was a mummy that had broken free of its seal and was now roaring.
"A mummy! A living mummy! Oh my god, what have we done!"
Evelynn panicked, but reason told her she had to run for her life.
But no one else around her made a move, especially the guards who had gone down to the second floor and were still standing guard against Imhotep, so she forced herself to watch for a while longer.
" Anck-su-namun!"
The resurrected Imhotep ignored the guards nearby and instead focused his gaze on Evelynn's face.
The striking resemblance brought his slumbering Mind Stone to life.
This guy was a total simp who went crazy for love, and now he's in this mess all because of one woman.
" Anck-su-namun! Anck-su-namun!"
Calling out the name of his beloved woman, Imhotep dove upwards in a flash.
He had only taken two steps when several flashes of light flashed past, Imhotep, who had only taken two steps, fell to the ground with his upper body on the ground.
"How dare you harm the great Imhotep!!" (Ancient Egypt )
He opened his mouth, his half-dead body clenching its teeth, only to be met with an explosive burst of flames.
" Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
The guards didn't care whether he was a mummy or something else; Xu Xiao's instructions were to release him first and then deal with him.
Now that Imhotep has jumped out of his coffin, he clearly meets the conditions for taking action.
Suppressing through swordsmanship and Ninjutsu is a common tactic used by ninjas.
The blazing flames seared Imhotep's withered bones, causing him to wail incessantly.
However, merely experiencing pain due to incompatible attributes makes it impossible to destroy him.
"Damn it! You think this is enough to fight the great Imhotep?"
Streams of black energy converged from all directions, Imhotep's mangled body rose once more from the flames.
'Huh! It's because of the curse. While the power from a higher level turned him into a monster, it also indirectly increased the difficulty of killing him.'
'Does it require a higher level of power, or rather, does it require breaking a curse?'
Xu Xiao, an observer, could sense a higher-level power helping Imhotep re-form his undead body, which was somewhat similar to the power Book of the Dead.
If there are no surprises, this is the power of the curse of the Egypt gods.
"Give him something powerful, try using Senjutsu Chakra."
Xu Xiao transmitted a stream of Nature Chakra directly to the guard through the Seed of Desire.
Logically speaking, this force should be able to harm the opponent.
The guard's eyes flashed with a golden light as he received the infusion of Nature Chakra, and then a layer of Senjutsu Chakra condensed onto his short sword.
Holding a knife in one hand, he quickly closed in using Body Flicker Technique.
The gleaming dagger made Imhotep wary.
"Let me show you the priest's wrath!"
Imhotep waved his hand, and the stone slabs in the tomb surrounded and protected him, while a group of mummies emerged from all sides.
He is a magic-based class, accustomed to using mummies to restrain his opponents before unleashing dark magic attacks.
Unfortunately, he had absolutely no understanding of what the ninja system was like.
With their high attack and low defense, how could a mere group of inanimate objects and stone slabs possibly stop the guards' attack?
With a simple swing and charge, the mummies were decapitated, and the accompanying natural force pulverized them completely.
These low-level undead, who would struggle even against ordinary people, are nothing but ants against Jonin.
"As expected, Nature Chakra is now able to dispel negative curse power; the two energies are now equal."
Having confirmed that the power of nature could break the curse on the undead, the guards had already arrived in front of Imhotep.
As for that thick layer of protective burial stone slabs that guarded Imhotep.
Sorry, it's no different from paper.
The short sword, imbued with Nature Chakra, sliced through the stone slab in an instant, along with Imhotep's arm.
This time, as the withered mummy arm fell to the ground, the curse on it was removed, turning it directly into ashes.
"No! What have you done?!"
For the first time, Imhotep felt fear in a mortal.
There was no other reason than that he saw that the other party possessed the power to destroy him.
He thought that after becoming a mummy, he would have the power to change the world upon awakening, but he was unexpectedly struck down as soon as he broke the seal.
The guard remained silent, only continuing to brandish his short sword!
If an assassin gets close to a mage, all that's left is to wait for death.
Several flashes of light, Imhotep's remaining torso was severed, leaving only the skeleton connected to his head.
A short knife was pressed against his head, the natural forces above suppressing it.
"Alright, we don't need to kill him completely. The priests of these Egypt God aren't very powerful. Now, let's go find that Book of Amun-Ra."
"I'll use the power of the Egypt gods to destroy him, so I can reassess his strength."
Xu Xiao's words were the reason Imhotep escaped unscathed.
If it weren't for Xu Xiao's orders, Imhotep would have died at the hands of this Jonin in a single encounter.
Imhotep, a mummy transformed from a God, is powerful due to various forms of black magic and the immortality of the undead.
After Nature Chakra can damage an immortal body, he will only face certain death when facing a ninja skilled in close combat.
Xu Xiao gave the order, and the others continued their search within the ruins of Hamunaptra, soon finding the Book of Amun-Ra.
Unlike the ominous Book of the Dead, the Book of Amun-Ra doesn't have that feeling; it records more positive spells such as healing and dispelling curses.
"Is feeling another kind of power of belief, a power that leans towards the positive?"
Xu Xiao sensed it; it was a power opposite to the curse, but the sources were similar—both were powers akin to the power of belief.
" Evelynn, chant the incantation above, and guide the power to destroy the evil spirits."
Xu Xiao gave the order, and someone handed the Book of Amun-Ra to Evelynn.
Evelynn obeyed, and when she saw the subdued Imhotep gazing at her with deep affection, she couldn't help but get goosebumps.
After picking up the Book of Amun-Ra and recognizing the characters, he began reciting the mantra:
"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes; those who should leave should not be kept!"
The chanting of the incantation seemed to open a passage to another world, and a higher level of power descended.
A chariot of the dead, driven by ghosts, came from the Void and crashed into the mortal world, intending to strip Imhotep of his Magic Power and soul.
Meanwhile, the golden pupil between Xu Xiao's brows flickered continuously as he relentlessly delved into that Void, searching for this higher-level power.
Until, for a fleeting moment, I met the gaze of a certain being.
"A new ascendant to godhood?"
"No, they're outsiders!"
