"It's really you!"
After a moment of excitement, Alex felt confused and asked, "But, how did you suddenly turn into this?"
Then inspiration flashed in his mind and he looked at the knife.
"You… don't tell me that you knew this would happen?" Alex said in bewilderment.
In response, the knife let out a vibration as if to confirm his words.
Seeing that, Alex can't help but sigh.
"Sigh, you really made me worried, you little."
"If you knew that you only needed the blood of the Chimera to upgrade, then you should have just told me."
Saying that, Alex still felt relieved in his heart.
Then he eyed the knife again and said, "Well, it's good that you're alright."
"Plus, you look much better now than before!"
Alex looked carefully at the knife and thought that it fits his aesthetic.
While thinking of such things, Alex turned around and was about to take a careful look into the room he's in next.
However, when he turned around, Alex saw someone already standing behind him.
"Woah!"
Alex was surprised and immediately jumped back a few meters away in retreat.
After doing that, Alex looked at the one standing behind him and frowned, "Hmm? How did a mummy suddenly appear here?"
A mummy covered with cloth all over its body has suddenly appeared out of nowhere, making Alex really curious.
Just as Alex was looking at it, the mummy suddenly moved and looked at him.
Then it spoke, "Human, you are really daring to enter my grave and even kill my familiar."
"I commend you for doing all that."
After saying that, the voice of the mummy suddenly became solemn and continued, "For doing all that, you also should also pay a price."
"Using your life!"
The eyes of the mummy glowed red and it stretched out its hand, making the cloth that is covering it suddenly flew to Alex like it was alive.
Seeing that, Alex dodged.
Seriously looking at the mummy, Alex said, "You're the owner of this pyramid?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Then that means you should be the one that trapped me in this place, right?"
The mummy watched Alex with glowing red eyes and said, "It's good that I don't have to explain everything to you."
"Since you dared to enter my pyramid, then you also be prepared to never come out!"
As the mummy's voice died down, the cloth that's been trying to catch Alex has become more fiercer.
While dodging the mummy's attacks, Alex used [Inspect] on the mummy.
[King Bronzo]
[Level 199 (Tier-3)]
[Strength: 1,131] | [Constitution: 591] | [Agility: 772] | [Intelligence: 3,812] | [Undead: 2,004]
The first thing that Alex noticed when he used [Inspect] on the mummy is the Tier.
"Tier? Does that mean this mummy is not a monster but a player?"
Alex muttered with a heavy frown on his face.
After thinking a bit, he shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. The important thing that I should focus on is that this mummy is really hostile to me."
"But, funny enough, the stats that he has is actually too low to even fight me!"
Alex stopped dodging and started charging towards the mummy with a knife in his hand.
Then when he got near, Alex stabbed the mummy in the chest, targeting its heart.
Puchi!
But that didn't go exactly as Alex expected.
The mummy was unmoved.
Then slowly, the mummy's gaze turned to Alex and it said, "Foolish decision, human."
Like a mouth, the cloth covering the mummy opened up and something like a blackhole appeared inside the cloth.
Then, the cloth wanted to grab Alex and push him into the blackhole to swallow him.
Luckily, Alex immediately noticed it
He hurriedly pulled out the knife and retreated away from the mummy.
Alex frowned and said, "Indeed, that was stupid of me. A mummy can't possibly have a heart, right?"
Unexpectedly, the mummy replied with, "That is incorrect, human."
"Even as a mummy, I still have a heart of my own."
Saying that, the mummy opened up the cloth again and this time, Alex noticed a disgustingly black heart beating at the chest of it.
Seeing that, Alex said, "Can you not be so disgusting?"
Shaking his head, Alex asked, "If that's the case. Then how come you're unaffected?"
Then just as he finished saying that, Alex thought about the attributes that the mummy has.
One of those attributes is one of the most special attributes, Undead.
When he thought of that, Alex came to a realization.
"Undead… that means, to kill an undead, it is necessary to use holy energy or…"
Alex didn't finish his words.
He looked at the mummy and smiled.
"To stand in front of me with hostility in your heart despite your low attributes, it must be the undead attribute that's giving you confidence, huh."
"You must have been watching earlier when I was fighting the Chimera and thought that I can't cause any damage to you with my skills."
As Alex talked, the mummy looked at him with interest.
Listening to what he said, the mummy opened its mouth and said, "That's right, human. I didn't expect you to have the intellect to decipher what this King thought."
"However, just like you said, I have observed you already when you were fighting against my dear Chimera."
"And from the skills that you have shown, none of those can cause any damage to me."
The mummy's words made Alex chuckle,
Lifting his head, Alex's expression dropped and he looked at the mummy with indifferent eyes, saying,
"Just because of that? Who made you think that those are all the skills that I have?"
Saying that, Alex stopped talking nonsense.
Alex started casting his skill [Lightning Judgement] and the sound of thunder echoed in this small space.
Since this is a confined space, the clouds outside can't help Alex manifest lightning.
Instead, Alex's mana started creating a lightning cloud inside the room!
As more mana Alex uses into the skill, the bigger the cloud becomes.
After a while, lightning started brewing inside the clouds.
Boom!
Seeing that, the expression of the mummy changed.
"Lightning? I was too hasty. I never expected that you actually have a lightning attribute skill, human."
After saying that, the mummy turned around and wanted to escape.
However, just in time, [Lightning Judgement] had finished casting and Alex immediately used it to attack the mummy.
"[Lightning Judgement]!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA deep purple lightning traveled from the clouds to the mummy.
Boom!
The mummy was accurately hit in the chest, burning it.
"Arrghhh!"
The screams of pain of the mummy sounded throughout the room.
But that's not the end, another lightning started brewing inside the clouds at this time that could strike the mummy at any moment.
Controlling the [Lightning Judgement], Alex approached the mummy who's now lying on the ground in pain.
With a smile, he said, "You didn't expect this, did you?"
"That was just me giving you a taste of my lightning. It wasn't even the real thing yet."
Chuckling, Alex continued, "Well, I guess you just don't have luck for you to meet me."
"Anyway, I'll end this now since I still have to hurry up and leave this place."
Panic covered the mummy's face as it said, "No, wait, please don't k-"
Boom!
Alex didn't even let the mummy finish its words and used [Lightning Judgement] to attack it.
This time, Alex used the full power of [Lightning Judgement] and burned the mummy to ash.
After that, the lightning cloud made out of mana dispersed into the air.
Alex walked closer to the ashes, which is the only thing that remained after the death of the mummy, saying,
"Well, he died so easily that it feels a bit anticlimactic."
Standing up, Alex shook his head and said, "Anyway, it's good that it ended quickly."
"At least, now I can leave this place and look for other Legendary-class monsters outside."
Since he has already killed the owner of the pyramid, Alex thought that there's nothing special in this place anymore.
That's why, he decided that it's about time he left this dark and gloomy place.
At the same time, his time is ticking and he still needs 3 more Legendary-class monsters to kill to complete the trial.
Without further ado, Alex turned around and went back to the path that he took to reach this place.
When Alex left, the ashes of the mummy started flying around as if it's been blown by the wind.
Then every bit and pieces of those ashes went towards the same direction as if being controlled.
And that place is at the inner part of the pyramid.
When it arrived there, it started gathering slowly and gradually, it started forming back into the figure of the mummy.
However, from its appearance, it is clear that it's been damaged greatly.
At this time, red light glowed from the eyes of the mummy.
It turned in the direction where Alex is currently and said, "I will wait for you to come back next time… and I will make you suffer!"
