Long Live the Call of Heroes

Chapter 438 Katep's Pyramid

It can be seen that he doesn't care about these, he only cares about his task.

Li Wei naturally had no objection, but as he walked, he still asked another question in his heart: "Who does this pyramid belong to?"

He just searched his memory, but unexpectedly found that there is no information about the owner of this place, which is a bit strange.

Because generally speaking, the ancient tomb kings built pyramids not only to store their corpses, but also to show their glory and power to the outside world.

From the outside, this pyramid is at least 300 meters high even if the ground is not taken into account. It is obviously not the pyramid of an ordinary king, but there is indeed no relevant record.

The Tomb General was silent, and finally he took a look at the priest behind him.

The priest coughed dryly, then whispered, "It's Mr. Katep."

Only then did Li Wei suddenly realize that it was him, no wonder there is no record in history.

Katep, the legendary hero, the leader of the Funeral Sect, and the former high priest of the Immortal Emperor Settra, is also known as the oldest and wisest ancient tomb priest.

But such a character is now an outcast.

Because the ancient tomb kings chose to be buried in the ground because they firmly believed that one day in the future, when the magic was developed enough, or the mercy of the gods, they would be resurrected as the living.

Unless God takes action, whether there is a corpse or not is a completely different matter at the time of resurrection.

And the high priest, Katep, also confidently assured them that he would try his best to do this, and he would return the Immortal Emperor a golden body.

As a legal profession, there are of course many more ways to prolong life than fighters, so he has a lot of time to complete his goals.

But then for a period of time, the kings disputed and the internal fighting continued, which seriously consumed the strength of one's own camp, and Katep, who was concerned about the country and the people, couldn't sit still.

He thought of a good way, that is to find someone strong enough to subdue the others, so as to end the internal fighting.

Then he dragged the Immortal from his tomb, in the form of a mummy.

Looking at the rotten flesh all over his body, the Immortal Emperor of course quit, but even in a rage, he still maintained a certain sense of reason. Considering the other party's past achievements, he did not kill the other party, but expelled Katep .

And let him find a way to realize his original promise, otherwise he is not allowed to enter any city of his own.

If he violates the ban, he won't show mercy next time.

So Katep became the outcast, and he began to search all over the world for various mysterious spells, knowledge or equipment, etc., in order to restore the body of the Immortal Emperor.

The angry Immortal Emperor poured his anger on the other kings, and it didn't take long to subdue all the existences except Kalida.

Khalida considered that the Immortal Emperor only had one name, and he would not care about what she wanted at all, let alone intervene in the affairs of the territory, so she also chose to be a vassal, and Katep's wish was indeed fulfilled.

Later, Nagash rebelled several times, turning the entire country into a dead zone. The Immortal Emperor also fought against Nagash, and successfully defeated him with the help of the rest of the kings.

I don't know if it was inspired by this, so the Egyptian gods revived more mummies and skeleton soldiers.

Those resurrected warriors are alright, they basically only have the word loyalty in their minds, but the tomb kings are also full of resentment, they dare not blame the gods, so naturally they can only turn their anger on other people .

For example, High Priest-Katep.

But he had been expelled a long time ago, and they couldn't even beat him if they wanted to. Naturally, they could only attack from other aspects.

To discredit his reputation, or simply make his past deeds disappear, these are very common methods, so Li Wei didn't know who the pyramid here belonged to before.

Katep doesn't know whether he wants to change outsiders' perceptions of him through practical actions, or simply for atonement. Although he was exiled, he still takes the lead from time to time in the process of traveling around the world, doing something to help others .

Whenever a Tomb King is at war with another race, he'll run over to help.

And it's also a coincidence that usually when the Tomb King has the upper hand, he will never appear.

Once he is at a disadvantage, he will immediately appear as a hero and a savior, and turn the tide of the battle with his own powerful strength.

Under such circumstances, even if the rescued Tomb King had no affection for him at all, he could only pinch his nose and thank him.

On the whole, Carter is still very smart.

But Li Wei felt that he, Katep, deserved this result. He was not sure if he could do it. Why did he make such a firm promise at the beginning?

The Immortal Emperor did not kill him on the spot, it was indeed very generous.

I don't know if there are no more ambushes. In short, no new undead creatures descended from the sky this time, and Li Wei and the others entered the pyramid very smoothly.

After quickly scanning around, Li Wei found that the inner space of the pyramid was slightly wider than he had imagined before.

It can probably accommodate four or five people walking side by side, and the height is about four meters. Maltis can even continue to serve as a cavalry.

But at the same time, they also need to be careful of the charge of the opponent's spirit-bound knight.

And there is another point that is different from what Li Wei had expected before. This place is not solid, but a variety of hollowed out buildings. The terrain is also intricate, like a maze.

Fortunately, with the general of the ancient tomb leading the team, he didn't need to worry about this problem. The other party directly chose a very inconspicuous passage and got in first.

Li Wei also threw a few protective spells in the past, at least before the opponent took him to the core of the pyramid, he still needed to take care of the opponent a little bit.

At first they didn't encounter any traps or enemies, but as soon as they turned a corner, there was a series of sounds of weapons clashing in front of them.

Li Wei, who has been blessed with magic such as dark vision, can clearly see that some warriors with double knives and heavy armor are fighting fiercely with some guards of the gods.

The appearance of these enemies is very similar to the tomb guards, but the ordinary tomb guards are definitely not so strong.

The general of the ancient tomb seemed to have noticed the clue, he immediately shouted angrily, and rushed forward himself.

Cindy, Elegy, Martis and others also joined the battle one after another.

Since the terrain is not spacious, magic is easy to accidentally injure, so Li Wei didn't use any large-scale magic. He just used some magic such as steel restraint or black tentacles to assist, or used the Hammer of Justice to kill them one by one.

Then he discovered that these guys really only looked like ancient tomb guards, but their actual combat effectiveness was far superior, and their equipment was also very good.

On average, they can take at least three hits from him before being completely killed.

This is definitely the top of the 5th-tier arms, almost comparable to the dwarf's iron warrior.

In addition, the opponent directly placed five teams here, so even though Elegy and Cindy are very powerful now, it still took a little time to completely kill each other.

During this process, Levi also saw Kai Ruilian's fighting style.

Her Forest Staff can store up to 20 missiles at a time, and she can fire them all in 3 seconds if she wants to.

Although the average attack power is not high, but if they all hit, it is still no problem to instantly kill a Tier 5 unit.

Afterwards, the staff will be forced to cool down, and it will be completely unusable for a short period of time, even if she spends extra mana, it will be useless, because the staff has a limit.

If she only fires one missile per second, the staff can almost never go out if the mana is sufficient.

Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, in fact, she needs to make different choices for different enemies.

In any case, Li Wei felt that as long as this girl was a little smarter, the speed of upgrading would definitely not be slowed down in the future.

After killing this wave of blockers, Cindy and Elegy carried out simple post-war treatment one after another, and the Tomb General, who was covered in torn armor, couldn't help but curse angrily.

"Damn it, it's Akhan's Raging Stone Skeleton Legion!"

Li Wei was a little surprised, it turned out to be an army with a number?
But how can ordinary skeleton soldiers be so strong?There is absolutely no doubt that all of them are high-level vampires.

At this moment Maltis suddenly shouted: "Levi, look!"

Following the lifted helmet, Li Wei also saw the fangs on the lips of the corpse, and he was a little surprised: "It's really a vampire? But why didn't I notice it just now, and they didn't use magic? "

Vampires are born with magic. No matter what their profession is, they must know at least a few basic little magics, and it is difficult to hide the dark and bloody aura on them from outsiders.

But Li Wei, who is a celestial mystic, and Cindy, who is a pastor of Sigma, didn't notice anything just now.

Even Martis, who is an undead creature, is not sure after fighting the enemy in person. She needs to see the evidence with her own eyes before she can truly be sure of this.

More importantly, no matter what method is used to kill, vampires will not leave their bodies or souls, and they will directly turn into ashes after death, which is a well-known fact.

Therefore, the resurrection spells that are common to the living such as humans or elves will not work for them. They need more special rituals to have a very low chance of resurrection.

But now this corpse doesn't have any intention of changing.

Cindy and Elegy also quickly picked off the helmets of other enemies, and then they found that these enemies were all vampires.

"Because they are actually the corpses of some powerful vampires." The Tomb General said in a muffled voice.

Li Wei became more and more surprised: "How is this possible? How did he do it?"

But then he had some guesses, perhaps, this is the power that Akhan got from the nine volumes of Nagash, or even simply from Nagash.

Akhan and Nagash are not vampires, but a special kind of lich, but vampires were born because of them, and they must hold some secrets that outsiders do not know.

Not to mention the nine volumes of Nagash in Akhan's hand, which is called the Secret of the Dead.

The Tomb General shook his head: "We don't know, we only know that this is Akhan's special skill."

Li Wei wanted to ask again, but at this moment, he only heard an angry lion roar, and then the whole pyramid shook violently, and at the same time a series of "bang bang" sounds came from the top of the pyramid.

The Tomb General was suddenly surprised and delighted: "It must be the noble Lord Tefnut!"

The priests and technicians behind him didn't even repair the broken guards of the gods. They just knelt down on the ground and worshiped in the direction of the sound.

Even among the gods, Tefnut's priesthood and godhead level are weak, but for the Bronze City, she is the patron saint here.

Hearing what they said, Li Wei also solved another doubt, but he turned his head and looked, this is not acceptable. If you lie flat here, who will lead you next?

Regardless of who wins and who loses in the end, at least you have to go and see for yourself!
"Don't you just want to stop here and let your god be besieged by Akhan and his undead?"

Hearing Li Wei's question, the Tomb General, who was also about to kneel down, suddenly came to his senses.

Indeed, even if they firmly believe that Lord Tefnut will definitely be able to repel Akhan, they, as believers, should also show their worth, and they will fight for the glory of the guardian goddess!

Several ancient tomb priests and technicians were not fools, they all jumped up from the ground, ready to move on.

Not only because what Li Wei said was right, but also because they developed further associations.

What's the point of just worshiping here, if you can catch a glimpse of the goddess from a distance in person, that would be a greater honor!

So there was no need for Li Weiduo to urge them, and they started to hurry one by one.

But since the Raging Stone Skeleton Legion is known as a legion, it is of course impossible that there are only dozens of soldiers in it. On the next road, Akhan laid at least dozens of ambushes.

And there are not only these special zombie vampires, but also spirit-bound knights, tomb ghosts, bloodthirsty sky ghosts, and even bloodthirsty bat wolves and so on.

With the help of Akhan, these powerful undead are far superior to other similar ones that Li Wei has seen before. Coupled with the large number of them, their combat power is astonishing.

The only consolation is that there is probably a special magic circle inside the pyramid, and the spirit-binding knights cannot penetrate the stone wall to surprise them, they can only face-to-face confrontation with real swords and guns.

But even so, Elegy and the others could still handle it, but the troops brought by the Tomb General died quickly.

There were only two ancient tomb priests and technicians left. They were obviously crispy, but they frantically tried to start a melee battle with the enemy.

Since they wanted to die by themselves, Li Wei didn't bother to take care of it. As long as the Tomb General, who still had some brains, could lead the way alive, that would be enough.

In this way, due to the reduction in the number of their own troops, they don't have to worry too much about fratricide.

Earth-type and fire-type magic can cause relatively great damage to the terrain, but thunder, wind, ice, and sacred powers, as long as they are a little careful, will not affect the structure of the pyramid.

The formidable power they displayed made Kai Ruilian, who had just joined, completely relieved.

Her sister really didn't cheat her, and she even said it a lot more conservatively.

Even though Mr. Li Wei obviously hasn't made a full shot yet, he spends more time assisting and being alert to possible enemies around him.

But she was still able to roughly judge that there were not many of them in the entire Orien camp who were as powerful as him, so she was lucky to be able to follow him!
Li Wei also chatted with her casually. He originally wanted to recruit some troops from the wood elves. Now that Kai Ruilian is here, it will definitely be much more convenient.

It's a pity that Kerilian has been wandering around for a while, and she doesn't know what's going on in Orion's camp.

The last time she had received news was two days ago, when her sister had sent her a letter saying that the camp was mobilizing troops for the big war.

Like other wood elves gathering places, Orion Camp is also a magical forest. The main races in the south probably include lizardmen, green skins, and ratmen.

But the lizard people there were not strong at all, and their leader, a demon toad, had been sleeping all the time.

There and Kuja were blocked by multiple hostile forces and mountains. Facing the sudden tide of greenskins and ratmen this time, it might be difficult for them to survive.

So even though the camp has only been invaded by a small group of enemies and has basically not been affected, they still decided to gather a large army and take the initiative to attack.

Otherwise, once the lizardmen in the south are completely wiped out, it will be time for them to meet the tide composed of green skins and ratmen.

Even if they occupy a good location, they can often easily defeat enemies several times.

But both the greenskins and the ratmen are very good at destroying. The other party has enough power to cut down the entire forest, or simply set it on fire. If they don't run away, they will only have a dead end.

So they must be prepared in advance, and they also understand the truth of cold lips and teeth.

Similarly, the general of the ancient tomb was also very surprised. Such a powerful mage has been hiding his power before. Are they really just a pure chance encounter?
But in the end, they didn't care so much, because while they were advancing, the battle above the pyramid never stopped.

With the goddess around, it doesn't matter what Li Wei's purpose is, as long as he is really helping himself now, that's enough!
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the top floor, Li Wei also slowed down a little, and added a new buff to his side.

In a few minutes, they will be able to witness the confrontation between Tefnut and Akhan with their own eyes. If Akhan has any means, it will definitely be at this last distance.

On the contrary, this pyramid of Katypuxiu is really strong enough, the top was hit so hard, but the pyramid just kept shaking, and the dust that was shaken was everywhere, but it didn't mean to fall apart or collapse at all, he really deserved it. It is a legendary existence.

Before he was ready, he suddenly found that the upper part was suddenly quiet.

Is the battle over, or are both sides holding back their big moves?

The general of the ancient tomb is also happy: "It must be a goddess"

But before he finished speaking, a slightly cold male voice spread instantly: "Ahem, is this the power of a goddess? It's nothing more than that."

There was another muffled sound, and Li Wei and the others could vaguely hear a slightly mournful lion's roar, followed by a man's cough and a smug laugh.

The ancient tomb general, the technician and others suddenly became a little sluggish.

That male voice should be Akhan. According to what he said, it could be that the goddess was defeated, right?
Now they were really in a hurry, they didn't even bother to say hello to Li Wei, and ran to the top floor directly.

Li Wei also became a little serious, even though he had already calculated on the way, if Tefnut wins, it may be difficult for him to take the nine scrolls of Nagash from the opponent.

But Akhan won, and he would be even more difficult to obtain, unless he directly summoned Lilith to descend.

But even though Lilith also knew how precious the nine scrolls of Nagash were, as a goddess, she would basically only attack other gods before. Would she really be willing to beat up Akhan?
And every time she encountered a problem, she would look for her, and over time, Lilith might feel a little disgusted.

She casts a wide net, collects more fish, chooses the best, and has more than one God's chosen people in the main world.

If Teclis, Imrik, Grim-Eltharion and others are all working hard, only he will ask Lilith for help at every turn, even if she doesn't say it, the number of times is too many, and it is inevitable in his heart. Will have some ideas.

Because she is a goddess, she focuses on things related to gods. Although the nine volumes of Nagash are precious, they are not particularly important to her, because she has no way to use them at all.

But despite his worries, Li Wei quickened his pace. Even if he couldn't get the nine volumes of Nagash, at least he had to see with his own eyes what his future competitors would look like!
In order to protect his beloved subordinates, this time he walked in the front position together with the death guard and so on.

Seeing that he could enter the top floor through a door in front, Li Wei heard a few curses from inside, and then the voice stopped abruptly.

He knew that the ancient tomb generals who were one step ahead of him might be in trouble.

After pushing the door and entering, he happened to see their bodies quickly turned into dust and disappeared with the wind, obviously some kind of powerful instant-death spell.

Li Wei felt a little regretful that the death of those ancient tomb priests and technicians was not enough, but the general maintained a certain degree of rationality from beginning to end, and he still had some good feelings.

It is also unknown whether their souls can be preserved under such circumstances, and whether they can be resurrected.

And in the mess all over the floor, a crumpled, very typical mummy was looking at them with a staff in one hand and a long sword in the other.

The only thing that is different from other mummies is that his teeth are all black, which is the origin of his nickname - Black - Akhan.

At this moment, the purple-black energy in his eyes is slowly receding, showing that he has just released a powerful spell.

Behind him, there is a row of destroyed bookshelves, only a large group of energy is flying in the air.

First, a large circle of black energy is wrapped around the outermost periphery, and then a small group of water-colored energy is inside. The two are clearly distinct, and they keep making chi-chi sounds, as if they are engaged in some kind of fierce confrontation.

The innermost one is an ancient sheepskin scroll. It is estimated that when the water color energy is destroyed, it is time for Akhan to obtain it.

"Ahem, another jackal who smells blood? But you probably don't know who I am."

"I am the black-Arkhan who just defeated the incarnation of the god Tefnut!"

Akhan slammed his staff, and two purple-black rays of light flew out of his eyes. Almost as soon as they touched, the big slap that Li Wei released in advance was directly and neatly smashed.

But when it really fell on Li Wei, it didn't cause any fluctuations, and the supreme robe shone brightly, offsetting a considerable part of the damage.

The remaining part of the damage was not enough to seriously injure Li Wei who had the Ring of Mithrien on his body.

And the special effects it comes with are completely ineffective, because as long as the money is enough, Li Wei will be immune to all instant death effects.

He wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything. No matter how the other party repelled Tefnut's incarnation, if the other party was good at instant death magic, then he wouldn't be afraid!

So he also stared at him, returned two energy sights, and casually threw a hold of the dead.

It is almost impossible to immobilize the body to take effect, and it is also difficult to hurt the other party, but that is not important, all this is just to humiliate the other party.

A mage who loses his mind due to anger tends to become easier to deal with.

Sure enough, Akhan, who was still very proud and proud, was instantly angered.

He just repelled the incarnation of a goddess. Even though the opponent's avatar was only legendary because of his low godhead, but because he was the incarnation of a god, he was much stronger than ordinary legends in many ways.

From now on, he can also proudly claim that he is an existence who once defeated God with a mortal body.

Not counting the very disgraceful Hachiman Daimyojin who is often defeated by mortals.

The last one to achieve this kind of honor seems to be Gwaeron Liufeng. He once defeated the incarnation of Malar, and because of this, he was promoted to a demigod by the goddess of the forest and the ranger-Melika.

Although I used to follow Nagash, which is a very dark past, but if the news spreads, which evil god can take a fancy to me?

But he didn't expect someone to attack him with such low-level magic in less than two minutes after he was excited?This is simply humiliating him!
So without any hesitation, he fired another instant-death spell, and he wanted to tell the young elf on the opposite side that even if he was seriously injured in the process of defeating Tefnut, he was not a mere guy who was not even a legend. Provoked!

"Finger of Death!"

Is it instant death magic again?
Li Wei did not dodge or evade, and once again resisted the opponent's move.

In fact, because the opponent's casting speed is too fast, even if he is full of vigilance, it is almost impossible to avoid it, so it is better to put on a show.

With the Ring of Mythrien on his body, after ignoring the instant death effect, he can resist many Fingers of Death.

Then he threw a hammer of justice backhand, coming and going without indecent assault!
After instantly casting a disintegration technique to neutralize the Hammer of Justice, but seeing the second attack coming, Akhan finally felt something was wrong.

After resisting Li Wei's blow, he frowned slightly as he felt the strength of the attack on the energy shield.

He was finally willing to look at Li Wei carefully, and then suddenly realized: "It turns out that he is a celestial mystic, and he seems to have received a lot of blessings, ahem, no wonder he can ignore instant death effects, etc."

His voice suddenly turned into ecstasy: "You actually have the nine scrolls of Nagash on you? Haha, it seems that the goddess of luck is also taking care of me!"

"Really? I think so too."

While speaking, Li Wei threw the Hammer of Justice again, and he had already roughly judged that Akhan had indeed repelled Tefnut's incarnation, but he was definitely severely injured.

Otherwise, how could he, a special lich, keep coughing?

His lungs, throat, etc., lost their proper function thousands of years ago, right?

Akhan snorted softly, and looked at him contemptuously: "The wisdom of mortals."

While speaking, he resisted Li Wei's blow again, and grabbed behind him with a backhand.

With a light "boo" and a faint roar of a lioness, the black energy completely destroyed all resistance.

Li Wei watched helplessly as the other nine volumes of Nagash flew directly into Akhan's hands.

He couldn't help clenching his fists subconsciously. How could this Tefnut be such a parallel importer?

From the start of the battle to being beaten away in a desperate manner, it didn't take much time, right?

Now the seal you left was destroyed by the opponent in the blink of an eye.

As long as you persist for three to five minutes, the battle situation may fundamentally change!
Just when Li Wei was thinking about whether he should call Lilith out or not, it would be a big deal for him to call a few times less in the future.

But seeing Akhan's speed was even faster, he didn't delay for half a second, he directly put away the scroll, and then took out a pair of special shackles and a chessboard.

"In the name of Akhan, I apply for a chessboard battle with the elf mage in front of me!"
