Chapter 130.1: Resurrection of The Reaper
◆Black Haired Sage; Chiyuki
Upon leaving the Hapy room, we were looking right at the heart room.
「What in the world is this?!! An unbelievable amount of mana is flowing in?!!」
I was surprised.
When I climbed the stairs toward the heart room, I felt the stream of powerful mana.
「Agreed, Chiyuki. That’s some powerful mana… Our enemy seems to be doing something behind this door, right Totona-chan? Do you happen to know what’s our enemy doing in this room?」 freewebno(v)el
Totona shook her head upon hearing Reiji’s question.
「I don’t know. Alas, I got a bad feeling about it.」
Said Totona as she grabbed Medjed’s clothes.
Totona seems to be anxious about whatever that happening in the room before us.
「Ergo, we have to go in.」
Thus, we entered the room.
After going up a little bit, we finally arrived at a small room around twice as big as the Hapy room.
This might be the heart room.
There were several people gathered in the center of this room.
「Serpent Prince. And who stood in the center is?」
As if it was natural, the Serpent Prince and co whom we met in the Hapy room also in this room.
Moreover, I saw a few more people I never met before.
Alas, the one person I’m most worrying about was the man in priest garb sitting cross-legged in the center of them.
His face was covered with a mask that resembled a spider.
I’ve met him before in the basement of the Rox kingdom. He also appeared in the sky above the labyrinth along with the Serpent Queen.
「Yeah, Reiji-kun. The man wearing a mask is the Reaper, Zarxis.」
I glared at the Reaper.
「Humph. Took you long enough, Hero party. Alas, you’re a bit too late. The resurrection of my flesh has been completed.」
Said Zarxis with a laugh.
「Resurrection of the flesh? Is that the reason why you sacrificed all those people you kidnapped?」
Zarxis nodded to answer Totona’s question.
「Correct. Descendant of that abominable Mina. The pyramid we took from that stupid prince is truly useful. It actually can amplify the life force of the sacrifice to this extent. Alas, it seems to be useless now since we worked it out beyond its capacity.」
Said Zarxis while looking in a certain direction.
In the direction he looking at was something like a sarcophagus.
That glowing sarcophagus sent power to the magic circle where Zarxis sitting.
Alas, there were some cracks along the surface of that sarcophagus.
Maybe that’s where we’re supposed to insert the keystone.
「So that means this pyramid is already useless for you…」
「Exactly. Hero’s woman.」
Said Zarxis as he stood up and took off his spider mask.
I was at a loss for words upon seeing the face behind that mask.
The left half of his face was the face of a handsome man, while the right half of his face was that of an ugly monster.
The left half of his face was only handsome, which was less conspicuous than the ugly right half.
「I see… Sorry for saying this but, that resurrected body of yours will be destroyed again. Better not running with your tail between your leg.」
Reiji pointing his Claiomh Solais at Zarxis.
「Rest assured, Hero of Light. I won’t escape. Rather, aren’t you guys the ones who should be thinking about how to escape from me? Now, behold!!」
An image appeared along with Zarxis’ shout.
The image showed us the situation outside of the pyramid.
「SERPENT QUEEN ARMY!! AND SO MANY OF THEM!!」
I screamed upon seeing the situation reflected in the image.
Numerous grotesque people led by the Serpent Queen were facing off against Harsesh and Co.
「That Diadona!! Quite fast eh!! Now it’s your turn to think about how to escape!!」
Said Zarxis with a laugh.
We were in a pinch.
Cold sweats running on my back.
「Well then! Now this pyramid has fulfilled its’ role! Veig, destroy this pyramid! Now it’s time for you folk to escape!」
After Zarxis let out a shout, a huge man clad in armor came out.
Ha had red eyes and a canine peeking out from his mouth. 𝒇𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
A vampire, no doubt about it.
That vampire then destroyed the sarcophagus.
Zarxis and co’s figure vanished along with the destruction of the sarcophagus.
「The magical power is running out of control?!! The pyramid is going to be destroyed!!」
Totona warned us.
「Reiji-kun!!!」
「I know Chiyuki!!」
Reiji fired a light cannon and opened a hole in the wall of the pyramid.
We didn’t waste any time to jump outside.
It took only a moment for us who come out from the pyramid.
At that moment, the pyramid exploded with a loud explosion.
「REIJI!!」
「TOTONAN!! MEDJED!!!」
Ishtar and Nel ran to us the moment we landed on the ground of the Gypseal’s camp.
「Reiji is safe and sound. That’s a relief.」
「Yeah Ishtar. But, we have yet to out of the hot water.」
Reiji spoke while looking at the Serpent Queen.
There were a lot of them.
All of them might be an evil god. Labrys and Giltar were also among them.
Our side on the other hand had only mummies.
Not to mention that the power of Serpent Queen Diadona and the Reaper Zarxis who regained his power was still a mystery.
On the other hand, there was also Labrys who was a literal incarnation of violence, and Giltar who could suppress both Shirone and Nao.
Those two evil gods alone were enough to suppress our group.
「Ishtar-sama, it seems they use magic that disturbs teleportation. We cannot escape with magic.」
Pistis suddenly appeared with such a report.
This monkey god always appeared out of nowhere.
「Yes Pistis. Escaping is difficult. Do you have any plans, Har-kun?」
Ishtar turned around and then asked her son.
「We must not escape, Mother!! We cannot escape with tail between our leg in front of them!!」
Harsesh had spoken those un-Harsesh-like remarks.
It seems he has some bones.
But, the situation was a bit bad.
Since the pyramid had been destroyed, the first thing he should do in this unfavorable situation was to retreat.
「Harsesh-sama!! We have to escape from this place!! This situation is too dangerous for us!!」
I agree with Isdes’ idea.
「The heck you are talking about, Isdes!? Those guys won’t let us to escape that easily!!」
Said Harsesh as he glared at Diadona and co.
「Listen to me, Harsesh!! Just give us Ishtar and Totona! Do that and we will let you go!!」
Diadona called out to Harsesh.
Diadona was the enemy of Elios’ gods alas, she seems to be unwilling to make an enemy of Gypseal.
Thus, she only asks Harsesh to give two of Elios’ gods to them.
「Like hell I will give my mother to you!!」
And just as expected, Harsesh refused to betray his mother.
Even though he could abandon the cats, he wasn’t so heartless to the point of abandoning his mother.
「I see!! Then I have to send your head as a gift for Sekhmetra!! Gentlemen of Apophis! Kill those Gypseal guys too!!」
The moment Diadona said so, the evil gods looked at us.
「REIJI!!」
Ishtar then looked at Reiji.
「Leave it to me, Ishtar! I shall protect Elios’ gods!! Come forth, Bennu!!」
