After deep consideration, Nie Yan finally came to a decision . “Screw it . Nothing in life is free . If I want something, I’ll have to take the risk . I’ve soloed Level 100+ Lords before . What is there to be afraid of?”
Nie Yan walked up to the golden door to the right and forcefully pushed it open .
The golden door slowly creaked open . The room was much larger than the previous ones . It was six by six meters in size . At the center was a large golden sarcophagus . It was five meters in length and covered in ornate and lavish carvings . The person entombed within was probably an illustrious figure .
“I wonder what sort of treasures are inside…” Nie Yan was filled with a deep curiosity . His heart couldn’t help but race . He walked up to the sarcophagus and pushed the button, then quickly retreated back to the doorway . It was relatively narrow, making it convenient for him to duck behind a wall in case something happened .
He still had lingering fears from the previous explosion and curse .
Creak… Creak… The sarcophagus slowly opened as a brilliant radiance blossomed out . Nie Yan could see a giant silhouette . The tension in the air was palpable .
Inside the sarcophagus was a three-meter tall corpse . It was covered from head to toe in gold and bore a solemn expression .
Nie Yan patiently waited . He wanted to make sure this fellow wouldn’t come back to life .
This corpse lying motionlessly in its sarcophagus looked eerie .
Suddenly, its eyes opened and blossomed with a profound light . It slowly sat up .
“It’s a monster!” Nie Yan inspected the corpse with Transcendent Insight . Pharaoh Brannigan (Lord): Level 110 Death Magister Health: 3,000,000/3,000,000
“Shit, it’s a Magister!”
If it were only a Level 110 Lord, Nie Yan could probably still manage . However, this fellow was a Death Magister . It was a whole step above ordinary Lords .
In this kind of situation, running away was one of the most foolish things you could do . Nie Yan glanced at his surroundings, then immediately had Lil’ Gold and Lafus seal off the doorway . Brannigan couldn’t be allowed to leave this room, or else he would be impossible to kill . Even a Shadow Dancer wouldn’t dare to challenge a Magister in a wide open space .
“You have disturbed my slumber . Lowly wretch, I will tear you apart from limb to limb!” Pharaoh Brannigan declared in a voice full of wrath .
Brannigan climbed out of his golden sarcophagus . A long scepter materialized in his hand .
Nie Yan gazed at Brannigan . Resembling a gold statue, his entire body shone with a golden radiance . His two-meter long scepter was crafted out of a mysterious metal, the tip adorned with a large sapphire which emitted an azure glow .
Brannigan appeared to be constrained . His sarcophagus took up a large portion of the room, so there wasn’t much space left for him to move around in .
Nie Yan instantly spotted this . Luckily, he already had Lil’ Gold blocking the doorway . No matter what, Brannigan couldn’t be allowed out of this room, or else they would be done for .
“We are the most ancient race . All those that dare to obstruct us will be turned into dust . Scram, filthy beast . ” Brannigan swung his scepter toward Lil’ Gold .
Nie Yan hurriedly had Lil’ Gold duck out of the way .
KLAANG!!! Brannigan’s scepter struck the doorway . It trembled violently but didn’t collapse . A door forged out of solid metal wouldn’t crumble that easily .
This room was too cramped . Brannigan had no way of attacking effectively . He attempted to get out through the doorway, but Lil’ Gold stubbornly refused to move . With a Dragon Breath, he blasted Brannigan with scorching hot flames .
BANG! Brannigan staggered back a step . A damage value of 5,000 floated up above his head .
Lil’ Gold managed to deal some decent damage . Brannigan was a caster, so his defense wasn’t high .
Brannigan was infuriated . He raised his staff and sent a bolt of lightning streaking towards Lil’ Gold .
ZAP! Electrical currents pierced through Lil’ Gold’s body .
−61,491
Lil’ Gold instantly lost a third of his health .
What frightening damage! Nie Yan had a hard time imagining a Fighter capable of withstanding such a powerful attack . A Champion was probably required .
Lafus hurriedly restored Lil’ Gold’s health back to full . The Rank 15 Radiant Heal was extremely useful in this situation .
Nie Yan had Lil’ Gold keep blocking the doorway . Within this small space, Brannigan couldn’t even display a third of his strength . All around him were hindrances . Sometimes when he raised his staff it would end up bumping into the ceiling .
“Not a bad spot…” Nie Yan smirked . He took out his Dullahan Cavalry Crossbow and fired . 「Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!」Five bolts flew toward Brannigan .
「Put! Put! Put!」The bolts struck Brannigan’s body, dealing several hundred damage each .
Nie Yan didn’t dare to enter the room, for fear of being killed by Brannigan the moment he stepped foot inside . He could only fire his crossbow from outside .
Brannigan let out a furious roar . However, he had no way of leaving the room . Lil’ Gold was like an immovable boulder .
Magic bombarded Lil’ Gold’s body . But since no spell could instantly kill him, they were all useless . Lafus’ heals were too potent . As long as Lil’ Gold had even a sliver of health left, he could be healed back to full . Lil’ Gold had so much health . It would be incredibly difficult for Brannigan to instantly kill him!
If a Magister couldn’t cast their most frightening spells, they were no different from ordinary Mages .
Seeing that his strategy was working, Nie Yan allowed Lafus to sit down and take a rest . He would only make a move when Lil’ Gold required healing . As long as Lafus didn’t run out of mana, there would be no issue . Nie Yan was a bit annoyed with himself . Why didn’t he bring a few Master Mana Potions with him before he set out? That way, Lafus could make use of them .
With Lafus’ mana pool and mana recovery speed, there wouldn’t be any problems for the time being .
Explosive Counter!
Explosive Counter!
. . .
Lil’ Gold lashed out with multiple Explosive Counters in a row, shaving away 200,000 of Brannigan’s health . Explosive Counter only had a certain chance of activating . If you were lucky, it would activate multiple times consecutively . If you were unlucky, you would go ages without it activating even once .
Brannigan furiously swung his scepter . His spell casts had been interrupted multiple times by Lil’ Gold . In this kind of cramped space, Magisters were at a huge disadvantage .
Lil’ Gold called forth a ball of raging flames, transforming the room into a burning hellscape .
About 15 minutes later, Brannigan’s health dropped to 20% .
“This is so easy!” Nie Yan happily remarked . He previously believed Brannigan was going to kill him for sure . Thankfully, the environment was to his advantage . Sometimes, this could make all the difference .
With his health falling below 20%, Brannigan started becoming restless and raised his staff . FWOOSH! A wave of frost swept out and struck Lil’ Gold, covering him in a thick layer of ice .
Brannigan rushed at Lil’ Gold with an onslaught of attacks, forcing Lil’ Gold back one step at a time . It appeared Brannigan was finally going to break out of this prison .
Seeing the situation going south, Nie Yan had Lafus stand back up .
Indomitable Will!
Radiant barrier!
…
Lafus charged toward Brannigan .
One man and one dragon halted Brannigan’s advance . Brannigan raised his scepter and swung it down . KWANG! Lafus staggered several steps back as he lost a third of his health . The Radiant Barrier protecting him trembled violently, but didn’t shatter . After all, a Rank 11 Radiant Barrier was extremely durable .
Lafus cast Holy Warmth on Lil’ Gold, gradually melting all the ice off his body . After recovering fully, Lil’ Gold forced Brannigan back into the room .
Brannigan staggered back step by step until he returned to his original position . He raised his staff and summoned three Skeleton Warriors . They were three meters tall, clad in metal armour, and wielded large war-axes . One could tell they were extremely powerful at a glance . Unfortunately, this made the already small room even more cramped! They couldn’t move without getting into each other’s way .
At the end of the day, Brannigan was a monster with low wisdom . He was incapable of thinking strategically . Summoning minions was completely useless here . The three Skeleton Warriors at the back had no way of reaching Lil’ Gold and Lafus .
Brannigan entered a berserk state as his health fell below 5% . His body emitted a blood red radiance as black skulls floated around him .
Nie Yan’s heart trembled . Brannigan was using his ultimate skill!
Lafus retreated to the back and chanted out an incantation .
Holy Radiant Shine!
A powerful pillar of holy light came down from the air and struck Brannigan . Wherever the light touched, his body would make sizzling sounds and release grey smoke . He let out a painful shout . He was slowly being exorcised by the holy light .
Holy Radiant Shine had a chance of instantly purifying all creatures within a 15-meter radius . If the creature couldn’t be purified, they would still take enormous damage .
“Arrgh!” Brannigan suddenly let out a roar . He braved through the Holy Radiant Shine and charged toward Lil’ Gold with large strides .
Darkness Retribution!
BANG! A dark shock wave blasted Lil’ Gold into the chest, sending him flying directly out of the room and crashing into the opposite wall .
Brannigan ducked his head under the doorway and stepped out of the room . “You repulsive Paladin . I’ll sacrifice your soul to our god and use your corpse to strengthen my undead army!” He swung his scepter at Lafus’ head .
