Fenna took a deep breath. She rode the wind with her wings and messed up her light green robe and short brown hair. Her usually energetic eyes were filled with determination!
"In the name of the Commander of Puccini City, I challenge you to a duel to the death!" Fenna pointed at the Dark Swordmaster and said in Egyptian.
Her voice came down from the sky and echoed in everyone's ears. Her fearlessness in the face of death made the Magicians feel sorrowful, yet excited at the same time!
Not every Magician in the world was brave enough to face a Ruler-level demon creature, nor were they willing to live a life of selfishness and cowardice. Once something was lost, the only thing left was an empty shell.
It was the same for Fenna. She had grown up in Puccini City, and was given the title of the Commander of Puccini City. She did not have any relatives, nor did she have any children, yet Puccini City was her home. Sherlock, who was also a Super Magician, would not understand why she was so determined to fight. If it were not for the kindness of the people of Puccini City, she would have frozen to death in a street corner a few decades ago …
I challenge you to a duel to the death!
A loud voice echoed in the air like the chime of a bell. A strong dark aura surged at the Magicians!
The Dark Swordmaster stared at Fenna coldly. The disdain in its hollow, eerie eyes gradually turned cold and stern.
It slowly raised the enormous black sword in its hand and pointed it at Fenna in the air.
The black wind penetrated the Dark Swordmaster's armor. Its aura swept across a kilometer like a tornado. Both the humans and the undead took a few steps back.
The Dark Swordmaster's language was indeed the human language. It had an ancient Egyptian accent.
It was saying something, but Mofan could not understand it. He only saw the dark energy field slowly dissipating. The Dark Swordmaster was no longer staring at Fenna. It was glaring at the other Magicians fiercely. It pointed its sword at the Magicians who stood no chance against it!
"Damn it, I told you this method is as ridiculous as a fairy tale!" cursed Sherlock furiously when he saw the Dark Swordmaster was not following the rules of the Dark Swordmaster.
Na was also stunned. She looked at the Dark Swordmaster in disbelief.
"Are we all going to die here?"
"It didn't work. What Dark Contract? It didn't work at all!"
"What are we doing? Why would we believe in such a ridiculous method?!"
The crowd began to panic. The Dark Contract had not been established, which meant that the Dark Swordmaster's sharp blade would still slash at them!
"What's going on? What did it say to you?" Mofan stood on the ground and yelled at Fenna.
Mofan was also very surprised. He felt that Ye Meng 'e had no reason to lie to him. The dark contract definitely existed. There must be a problem somewhere.
"Forget about the Dark Contract. Let's go," Wankos said.
At this moment, the Dark Swordmaster had raised its huge sword again. The dark sky slowly sank again.
Everyone's hearts skipped a beat upon seeing this. Once the Nyx Regime was activated, the Brutal Sword Death Servants would turn into killing machines without blinking an eye!
"Darkness, it only accepts duels between Dark Ones. I'm not a Dark One, so I can't activate the Dark Contract," Fenna fell to the ground in a daze. Her eyes were already filled with tears.
Tears ran down her cheeks. This was the most frustrating thing for a person. She had already dared to face death, yet there was nothing she could do!
"What about Sherlock? Is he a Dark One?" the old Mage Mudin asked.
"He's not. Even if he was, he wouldn't do such a thing," Wankos said.
"What's a Dark One?"
"Can I do it? My minor Element is the Shadow Element …"
"What's the point of going? The Dark Swordmaster can kill you with a single slash. You're just going to get yourself killed."
The situation was getting worse. At this rate, they had no choice but to sacrifice their lives to pave a path to the mirage of the pyramid. However, was that really a victory?
Ai Jiangtu, Nan Jue, and the others fell silent. Their previous plan was no longer viable. No one would be able to reach the pyramid under the Nyx Regime. The Nyx Regime was the Dark Swordmaster's territory. Even if they kept moving toward the pyramid, they would only end up going further and further away. The maze in the darkness was extremely complicated!
"Let me give it a try." A voice rang out, sounding very solemn.
Xinxia turned around and looked at Mo Fan. She was hoping that Mofan was not the one who had said it.
However, Mofan took a step forward and said, "I should be considered a Dark One. I'll challenge it. I'll leave the task of destroying the mirage to you all."
Mu Ningxue tugged at Mofan and shook her head.
"Hehe, someone is going to be a hero," Guan Yu mocked.
"I agree." Zu Jiming smiled as well.
With the Dark Swordmaster's strength, killing someone like Mofan … it would at least take five slashes to tear Mofan into pieces, let alone two. Even the weakest Ruler-level creature could easily kill an Advanced Mage.
Xinxia looked at Mofan. She was struggling to read Mofan's mind. Why was he willing to take the risk?
"Don't worry, I won't die," Mofan knew Xinxia was worried about him. He patted her on the head.
"I don't think so. Give up on the challenge. I'll freeze it and temporarily nullify the Nyx Regime. We'll try our best to get closer to the pyramid, "Mu Ningxue said.
Mu Ningxue would not let Mofan get himself killed. The war was cruel, and people were bound to lose their lives. However, the war did not belong to them, so there was no need for them to make meaningless sacrifices. Even if they ended up being wiped out and the city was razed to the ground, they would still try their best.
"Just trust me," Mofan did not explain further.
A Dark One … Mofan had never thought about it. Only a Dark One could have a duel with a Dark One.
Despite everything, Mofan still ended up in his hands. However, when he thought about the consequences of losing the war, he believed it was worth it even if he had to sacrifice his trump card!
…
"Damn it, I feel like a savior now," Mofan stepped out from the crowd and approached the Dark Swordmaster.
If the Pharaoh's guards were already so powerful, how terrifying would the Pharaoh be?
"The one with the sword, have a duel to the death with your grandpa Mofan!" Mofan pointed at the Dark Swordmaster and said in Chinese.
The Dark Contract did not care about the words. It only cared about one's thoughts. Since they were both Dark Ones, as long as Mofan was insulting the God of Darkness or provoking the Dark Ones, the Dark Swordmaster would immediately capture the person who was trying to blaspheme its soul!
"Ignorant prick, I'll use my sword to behead you and hang your head outside the pyramid!" The Dark Swordmaster gave up on the Nyx Regime and pointed its sword at Mofan.
The giant sword was more than twice the size of Mofan. The Dark Swordmaster's bulky figure was intimidating. As the giant sword in its hand vibrated, a dark energy burst out from it.
The dark energy was so strong that it forced the undead and humans to back away.
On the ground covered in blood and corpses, the Dark Contract formed a huge triangular shape. First, it outlined an area completely surrounded by dark energy. Then, it crawled into the air and formed a triangular pillar that led to the clouds in the night sky.
"Is … is that …" Sherlock's eyes widened. He stared at the Dark Dueling Ground formed by the dark energy!
The Dark Contract …
It was an ancient Dark Contract that was only recorded in ancient Egyptian records. No one had ever seen it before. How did this young Magician from the East know that the Dark Swordmaster was a Dark Contract?
The Dark Dueling Ground stood in the middle of the battlefield between the Battlemages and the army of undead. The black barrier rising into the sky, the ancient runes with the strongest sealing power and the power of the Contract …
"My Heavens, it really happened, the Dark Contract!" Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
"How did Mofan know about it … hurry up and see if the barrier of the Dark Dueling Ground can be broken. Otherwise, Mofan is seriously going to fight that guy to the death!" Jiang Shaoxu blurted out when he recalled something.
He immediately tried to attack the barrier of the Dark Dueling Ground, but it felt like the barrier was absorbing his energy. It felt like the barrier had been strengthened.
Fenna tried to attack the barrier with the Slaughtering Wind Slash, but the outcome was the same. The barrier was surrounded by more dark runes, trapping Mofan and the Dark Swordmaster in the dueling ground …
"What should we do now? Isn't Mofan going to die for sure?"
"Why is he so reckless!?"
…
Inside the Dark Dueling Ground, Mofan stood on the soil that had been dyed red. He immediately had an ominous feeling when he sensed the enormous power of the Dark Contract in his surroundings.
The appearance of the Dark Contract was even more ridiculous than Mofan had imagined. It had turned out to be an astonishing Dark Dueling Ground that had appeared out of nowhere. Mofan, who was only planning to try his luck, realized that he could no longer escape from the dueling ground!
Mofan yelled when he saw the people outside were still staring at the dueling ground in astonishment, "Damn it, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and head to the pyramid!"
A strong murderous aura surged in Mofan's direction as soon as he finished his sentence. Mofan lifted his gaze and saw a giant sword emitting an icy glow. The giant sword was surrounded by the Runes of Death, and was going to fall at him at any second!
Mofan tried to dodge the attack, but he realized that he was unable to move!
