"Mofan, how did you recover so quickly? You looked like you were about to die a moment ago," Mios observed Mofan and noticed that Mofan's complexion was a lot better than before.
The others were injured too. They had yet to fully recover, yet Mofan looked so lively. Mios wondered if the guy's lineage was mixed with some demon creature's blood!
"Speaking of which, didn't you split the Dark Swordmaster's corpse among yourselves when I fainted?" Mo Fan suddenly recalled.
Mofan would never believe that a Ruler-level creature would not drop something valuable after its death!
"You're still thinking about money at a time like this? We weren't in luck. Apart from the Dark Swordmaster's corpse, we didn't find anything valuable. As for its Soul Remnant, Sayed took it," Mios said.
"You … you took so many of my Soul Essences. What's wrong with me taking a Ruler-level Soul Remnant? Don't … don't force me!" Sayed blurted out, pointing at Mofan nervously.
"Are you sure it's a Soul Remnant and not a Soul Essence?" Mofan asked.
A Ruler-level Soul Remnant might be worth something, but it was nowhere as valuable as a Soul Essence. Even a single Ruler-level Soul Essence was enough to trigger a brawl between Super Mages!
"Anyway … I won't back down this time. Besides, I've already refined the thing. You won't be able to take it away from me!" Sayed said.
"Look at you. Forget it, since it's just a Soul Remnant, I'll treat it as a reward for your hard work. You did put in a lot of effort in the end," Mofan smiled. He did not want to argue with Sayed.
A Ruler-level Soul Remnant was nothing compared to the Soul Essences he had taken from Sayed. Besides, he and Mubai had secretly devoured a lot of the energy of the Silver Golden-Headed Spiders in the Pyramid. It was the biggest reward of the trip to the Pyramid. Mofan had no reason to argue with Sayed over such a trivial matter. After all, it was just a Soul Remnant. It was not worth much.
Sayed let out a relieved sigh after hearing Mofan's words.
Mofan was not interested in the Ruler-level Soul Remnant, but it was extremely important to Sayed.
His Mummy was the Death Saber Mummy. It was considered to be of the same clan as the Dark Swordmaster. A Ruler-level Soul Remnant was not expensive on the market, but it was not sold on the market at all, especially one that matched his Death Saber Mummy!
To Sayed, a Ruler-level Soul Remnant might be more useful than the Soul Essences of Commander-level creatures. As such, when he saw a Ruler-level Soul Remnant, he boldly went for it. Mofan happened to be unconscious. Sayed was worried that the man would fall out with him as soon as he woke up. Luckily, the barbarian was not as unreasonable as he thought!
"What about this sword? Have you checked it?" Mofan asked. Mofan was unwilling to give up. He believed it was reasonable for a Dark Swordmaster to not drop something useful. It would be a disgrace to the Ruler-level creatures!
"What's there to check the sword for? We are Mages. Why would we need the weapons of demon creatures?" Zhao Manyan said.
Mofan went up to the Dark Swordmaster and inspected the sword with his will.
Suddenly, he felt an icy force devouring his Spiritual World. Mofan's hair stood on end!
"Holy crap, such a strong presence of darkness!" Mofan subconsciously took a few steps back.
He had just recovered, and his Spiritual World was still in a weakened state. He almost failed to resist the force of darkness.
"What is it? Did you find something?" Heidi asked.
"The good stuff is inside the sword. You aren't Mages of Darkness, so you won't be able to sense it," Mofan grinned. Luckily, he was more attentive. He purposely checked the sword.
Mofan had a strange feeling when he was fighting the Dark Swordmaster. Every time the Dark Swordmaster used a powerful spell, it would raise the sword in its hand, as if it was swearing something.
Dark Magic originated from an ancient God of Darkness. Both Dark Creatures and Dark Mages had to sign a Dark Contract with the God of Darkness in order to obtain the power of darkness. Mofan had no idea what kind of contract the Dark Creatures had with the God of Darkness, but Mages had to offer their energy to the God of Darkness to obtain the power of darkness …
As such, Mofan began to wonder if there was a medium between the Dark Creatures and the God of Darkness!
When Mo Fan was inspecting the sword, he noticed that the Dark Force on it had yet to dissipate. It implied that the Dark Swordmaster's Dark Force was most likely coming from the sword!
"If you can't accept it, I'll accept it," Mofan said as he touched the hilt of the Dark Swordmaster's sword.
A layer of black liquid immediately appeared on the sword. It flowed from the tip of the sword to the hilt, and slowly flowed down to Mofan's left hand …
"Mofan, what are you doing? Are you trying to practice the sword and become a Magic Swordsman?" Zhao Manyan asked.
"Magic Swordsman my ass, do you think this is a novel? Practicing both magic and martial arts? The sword contains the Dark Swordmaster's essence of darkness. It's called the Dark Matter. When the Dark Swordmaster is dead, the Dark Matter will become a wandering substance. It might be able to latch onto some dark elemental creatures to make them stronger, or it might dissipate on its own to become the dark elemental energy in the air ….. What I am doing now, is to open up a path of light for this bunch of homeless Dark Matter ….. Ah, it's the Heavenly Dao. "Mofan explained.
"What a mess. Didn't you just absorb the Dark Matter? Doesn't that mean your Dark Matter will become even stronger?" Heidi asked.
"Haha, of course. My Fiendish Night will probably improve by another level! "Mofan said with a laugh.
"Wow, why are all the good things going to you?"
"I don't even have my right hand anymore. I'm not like you, messing around in a foreign city. Don't you know how important my right hand is? What's wrong with me collecting some Dark Matter?" Mofan said righteously.
Mofan slowly guided the Dark Matter into his body, allowing it to fuse with his soul. The Fiendish Night already existed in his soul, so how could it reject the Dark Matter's essence that could strengthen it? It immediately began its work of devouring.
"I've already calculated it. If the needle moves towards this mark, the Netherworld Light will point straight to the Red Sea's Island of Nothingness." Shreev said.
"Let me do it." Mofan took the initiative to step forward and looked at the white Underworld Needle.
The Underworld Needle was about a metre long. Mofan tried to move his hand towards the mark that Shreev had mentioned.
"Gah!"
The Underworld Needle was stiffer than Mofan had imagined, and it was not moving at all.
"What's going on? I can't move it." Mofan said.
"Increase the power." Shreev said.
Mofan increased his strength, but the Underworld Needle still showed no signs of moving. This made everyone's face turn gloomy.
"It can't be. We've spent so much effort, but the Underworld Needle still can't move. Could there be some kind of restriction on it? I don't think this needle is some kind of divine artifact. There's no reason it can't move." Zhao Manyan said.
"There's no restriction. I've checked it. It's strange. Why can't it move? Mofan, try again and add some Space Magic." Shreev said.
Mofan nodded. He attached the Space Magic to his left hand. At this moment, the gravity on his left hand was quite strong. He moved the needle again, and the needle made a sound, but it still couldn't move in the direction he wanted!
Mofan's forehead was sweating.
Even though he only had his left hand, it didn't mean he couldn't move the Underworld Needle. Perhaps the Underworld Needle was hiding some kind of secret.
"What should we do now? The Underworld Needle can't move, and we can't change the deathlight. We can't leave the pyramid according to our original plan," Mios said in a panic.
They had already come so far, but something so strange had happened. Mios was extremely anxious and frustrated.
"Sigh, I thought we were free, but …" Mofan let out a sigh.
For a moment, everyone was silent. No one spoke for a long time. Everyone's face was ashen.
"Well, have you tried moving the needle in another direction?" Heidi suddenly suggested.
"Another direction? You mean counterclockwise?" Mofan said.
"Mmm."
"If it can't move in this direction, then the other direction must be …" Mofan said as he turned the Underworld Needle counterclockwise with his left hand.
As soon as he raised his hand, the needle immediately reacted.
"Click! Click! "The Underworld Needle moved two lines in the counterclockwise direction.
Mofan's expression froze the moment he saw the Underworld Needle move.
Everyone's eyes widened. They first looked at the needle, then at Mofan.
"Don't tell me you haven't tried moving in another direction?" Mubai looked at Mofan as if he was an idiot.
"Ugh …" Mofan didn't know how to get out of this situation. He hurriedly turned the needle around and successfully moved it to the line that Shreev had mentioned.
The moment the needle turned successfully, they saw the Underworld Needle emit a faint blue light.
This faint blue beam broke through the compass's area and flew into the darkness. As if it had touched a mirror, this beam of dark light bounced back, bent to a higher position, and then bounced back again! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The process repeated over and over again. The ray of light formed a brilliant, geometrical pattern above everyone's heads. It looked similar to the Star Orbits, Star Patterns, Star Constellations, and Star Palaces. It was a huge Star Constellation!
"Did we do it?" Heidi said in disbelief as she looked up at the beautiful aurora-like interweaving light beams.
"I think we did it," Mofan said.
"Mofan, your intelligence has lowered the average of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Perhaps we would have finished the quest long ago if you weren't leading us. Ah, it's finally over! "Zhao Manyan said.
Mo Fan ignored Zhao Manting and said something else instead.
