In the Temple of Spirits, there were many primordial mummies, but only one of them was wearing a golden crown!
It was the King of Primordial Mummies, one of the dominators of the periphery of the Temple of Spirits, and a level-three legendary being.
If one did not have any spells or blood power that could restrain it, it would be even more painful to face it than facing a top legendary, because no matter how one attacked it, it would not respond at all.
Countless files flashed in Lucien's head, "The King of Primordial Mummies, fearing the extraordinary power of holy light and sunlight, fearing the super high-temperature fire, not immune to Luxury Cracking, not immune to Advanced Time Stop, and highly resistant to longswords …"
Tick, tick, tick, tick. The black second hand in the silver pocket watch was beating monotonously and repetitively. Lucien did not give the primordial mummy a chance to speak or launch an attack. He slightly shook the collar of his white shirt and pressed his right thumb softly.
Crack. The black second hand stopped, and the dark yellow and black disappeared. The primordial mummy maintained the state of waving its right hand, as if it were in a different time and space.
Immune to spells below legendary, Lucien could not perform Cracking (Advanced Disjunction). Even if he could add 'Hand of Uncertainties', the odds were very low, almost none. It was mainly because Lucien was two levels lower than the primordial mummy.
It was highly resistant to the slashes of longswords, which meant that the Sword of Truth could only cut through one layer of defense and could not really hurt it. While the Sword of Truth was very powerful and terrifying, it would also lose its strength after cutting through layers of defense and could not kill the enemy.
Immune to most of the legendary spells of the school of necromancy, so the Congus Ring was almost useless except for defense and passive effects.
Immune to instant death and destruction spells, so Grandeur Obliteration could hardly work.
…
Lucien compared the features of the primordial mummy with his own magic. The moment he pressed the 'Moon Timer', he was thinking about what kind of magic combination he should use during the temporary effect of Time Stop.
"Elemental Order."
In the past few months, Lucien had improved his Elemental Order to the legendary level based on Elements Decomposition. However, he could only construct four legendary spells in his soul. Therefore, he had to chant the complete spell and make complicated gestures. If it were not for the effect of Time Stop, the primordial mummy would have had enough time to kill him twice.
After casting 'Elemental Order' with 'Hand of Uncertainties', the effect of time stop was coming to an end. Lucien only had the time to cast 'Baler's Transformation', which did not require any buffering time. Then, he drew out the Sword of Truth and launched a cold, overwhelming sword aura at the primordial mummy.
The surrounding walls were dyed black again, and the primordial mummy's grayish-white 'cloth' gradually turned yellow.
Suddenly, countless spots of light jumped out of its body. They were black, white, silver, green, and colorful. The creepy yellow-brown "cloth" on its chest quickly disintegrated. However, layer after layer, the iron-black rotten flesh could not be seen.
As the silver sword flashed, the Primordial Mummy let out an earth-shattering howl.
"Hoooooo!"
The horrifying sound shattered most of the magic that protected Lucien's body, and his head was buzzing.
That was the horror of a level-three legendary monster!
On the primordial mummy's chest, part of the creepy cloth was completely cut in half. A deep sword mark appeared on the rotten flesh that was as black as iron. The twisted, illusionary gap prevented the wound from healing. Drops of stinky, yellow-brown liquid that looked like corpse oil fell to the ground, corroding the bricks on the ground that even Lucien's' Vengeful Gaze 'could only break after a few strikes.
It was a pity that the sword light was not deep enough. The primordial mummy was not heavily wounded, and there was continuous damage. Lucien suspected that it would take another five or six slashes from the Sword of Truth to kill the mummy for good.
However, he was only a level-one epic Knight after the transformation. How could he catch up with the primordial mummy in terms of speed and agility?
Unless he continued to use 'Advanced Time Stop'. However, in that case, he would have to wait for a day for the Moon Timer to recover, which would be the most useful method in the dangerous Temple of Spirits.
"Hoooooo!"
Dark air spread out of the primordial mummy, covering the wound and adding layers of defense.
Lucien was more or less regretful. He was not decisive enough. He could not even protect himself right now. What could he do in the future? He should've used Advanced Time Stop just now and attacked the wound with the Sword of Truth several times during the effect of Time Stop. However, the attack of the Sword of Truth had to destroy the defense first. It was barely possible to kill the mummy.
The guy's defense was too unbelievable!
The primordial mummy's arms suddenly lengthened and reached Lucien's face in the blink of an eye. The attack was beyond his expectation.
Thankfully, Lucien was still in the status of an epic Knight. He raised his left hand and blocked the attack with the delicate black shield.
Bam. In the silent noise, illusionary waves spread out around Lucien, but they could not reach his body. He seemed to be in a different world and time!
The primordial mummy suddenly accelerated and turned into countless shadows, attacking Lucien from all directions. Vague dark air spread out of the crown and covered the whole area, corroding everything. Bam! Bam!
Bam! Bam! Bam! Lucien stepped back slowly and neutralized the power. If it were any other level-three shield instead of the Shield of Truth, he would've been blown away. However, the illusionary waves were shaking more and more violently, and some cracks appeared on the Shield of Truth.
"This is the real power of a level-three legendary. My spiritual power can't keep up with his movement at all." Lucien thought quickly and analyzed the current situation.
'Baler's Transformation' was only a sixth-circle spell. There were many problems when it was used in the legendary level. For example, the will domain transformed from spiritual power was not as good as that of regular legendary knights. Also, even regular legendary knights were two levels lower than the primordial mummies. They would still be completely suppressed.
Hoooooo!
Furious roars came from behind. The scourge and the legendary undead creatures hiding among them seemed to have entered the palace.
Lucien suddenly put away the Sword of Truth in his right hand and picked up the Moon Timer floating in front of him again. His thumb slid on the silver dial softly.
Although he could not directly cast spells in the transformed state, he could still use legendary items.
As his thumb slid, the black second hand started to move, and the time around him was sometimes fast and sometimes slow. The primordial mummy, who was not immune to the power of Space Staff, was immediately affected.
The Moon Timer was already a level-two legendary item, and it was an exclusive item. Its power was close to level-three. Of course, it worked well on the primordial mummy!
Seizing the opportunity, Lucien's Robe of Grand Arcana, which had turned into a black double-breasted suit, lit up. A fist-sized ball that was as bright as the sun flew out and hit the primordial mummy in the blink of an eye.
Boom!
The terrifying blast wave swept over with a thunderous noise. Raging flames, silver lightning, and green acid burst out at the same time, turning the area around the primordial mummy into hell.
The ancient legendary spell of the school of elements, Hell Ball! It was a composite spell that combined fire, lightning, acid, and soundwave damage!
"Hoooo!"
The primordial mummy howled in pain again. Part of the weird, yellowish-brown cloth on its body was on fire. The invisible electromagnetic waves were also burning its body. However, only one third of its defense was torn apart.
It was a monster that was best known for its insane defense!
Seeing that the effect was not satisfactory, Lucien stopped pressing the Moon Timer. He put away the Shield of Truth and canceled the transformation of the Epic Knight. He said in a low voice,
"Atomic Universe!"
It was not a legendary spell, but the projection of a demiplane that interfered with the real world!
In the corridor, a boundless starry sky rose. Countless elements were decomposed into pure protons, neutrons, and electrons, before they were gathered from one to ten thousand.
Such fusion produced huge suns that emitted terrifying heat and blinding light.
"Ahhh!"
The primordial mummy's howl changed. It raised its right hand and covered its eyes. Black air popped up from its body.
Atomic Fusion, Eternal Blaze!
Seeing that, Lucien cast a lot of instant spells on himself. Then, he quickly flew through and fled behind the primordial mummy.
It was the "fusion" simulated by the projection of a demiplane. It was the unique ability of the class' Atom Controller ', but it was only a tiny part of its power. It could only slightly hurt the primordial mummy and intimidate it, creating an opportunity for him to escape.
If it weren't for the fact that magic was more effective at escaping, Lucien would've taken the opportunity to launch another Strike of Truth at it. Many little drops make a mickle. When it reached a certain point, he could use 'Advanced Time Stop' to end the battle again.
After running out of the gate, there were two corridors that led to different palaces. Lucien's figure suddenly split into two. Then, they fled in different directions.
As he ran, he reached a fork in the road again. So, his figure split again.
After a few times, Lucien's original body escaped into a maze-like temple. However, a hoarse and furious roar came from behind him, "You can't get away!"
Damn it. The primordial mummy's intuition was truly terrifying! He had used a lot of illusions and spells of the school of astrology on his way. He thought that he had gotten rid of it!
Suddenly, green light glowed in front of him, and a golden skull was reflected in Lucien's pupils.
"Demigod-lich?"
Lucien, who was prepared for a tough battle and looking for an opportunity to escape, saw the person on the opposite side of Demigod-lich. Klaus, who had a wicked smile on his face, became very solemn. In front of him was a golden-haired girl puppet.
The puppet changed from a beautiful girl into a golden skull in the blink of an eye.
Klaus chanted to the puppet skull in front of him:
"Grandiose Obliteration!"
Without a sound, the golden skull that had been transformed into was completely shattered. Demigod-lich on his opposite side also screamed miserably and was shattered beyond his control.
Klaus did not feel any joy after killing a strong enemy. Instead, he was vaguely sorrowful. His face was very pale, as if he had suffered a great counterattack.
"Lucien?" He sensed Lucien's presence and then put on a bitter smile, "I'd rather not see you. The monster chasing you is much stronger than Demigod-lich just now!"
"Klaus, I'm sorry. It's out of my control. Now it's hard to say who it will chase. Why don't we work together to put it to sleep?" With a helper, Lucien had more plans. It was not a good idea to be chased like this. Was he going to be chased into the Furnace of Souls?
Klaus did not know whether to laugh or cry, "Do I have a choice?"
He could run away, but who knew whether the primordial mummy would give up on Lucien and come after him? After all, he was more powerful than Lucien, so he was in a much greater danger.
