Capítulo 381: Chapter 381

Under Najido's explanation of the murals, the group gained a rough understanding of the pyramid.

"This pyramid's owner revered Ra, the sun god. His murals are everywhere," Najido remarked with a hint of awe. "Based on these depictions, it seems this pyramid was built by a pharaoh, intending to perform a ritual to borrow Ra's power for resurrection."

"Probably didn't work, right?" Lisa said with a chuckle. "Who could resurrect themselves, let alone with a god's power?"

Giovanni and the others nodded in agreement, sharing her disbelief.

Najido shook his head under their questioning gazes. "How would I know? We'll only find out if we go deeper inside."

As they conversed, they reached a vast corridor-like hall adorned with murals, mysterious symbols, and bandaged mummies.

However, these mummies weren't human—they appeared to be animals.

"Gross," Lisa muttered in disgust.

At that moment, someone in the group pointed ahead with curiosity.

"Is that Anubis, the god of death?" Norbert asked, wide-eyed.

Everyone turned to see a towering statue, several meters high, of a wolf-headed, human-bodied figure.

"It does look like Anubis," someone murmured.

"Pretty detailed, isn't it?" Lisa's eyes sparkled with interest.

As the group approached the statue to admire it, the mummified animals lying on the ground suddenly stirred.

"They're moving?!"

"My god!"

The wolf-like mummies rose to their feet, causing Lisa and the others to freeze in shock and disbelief.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Giovanni reacted the fastest, pulling out his gun and firing while shouting, "Run! Quickly!"

He led the charge down the corridor. The others followed suit, firing their weapons as they fled.

Unfortunately, their reaction was slightly delayed, and the mummies seemed impervious to bullets. In less than ten seconds, three people were dragged to the ground.

"Ahhh!"

Hearing the screams and the sound of flesh being torn behind them, Lisa and the others shuddered, their fear escalating.

"What the hell are these things?"

"Weren't mummies just myths?"

"Are they real now?" Lisa screamed in disbelief, running as fast as she could while four wolf mummies pursued them.

Back in the hall, the three downed group members were silent. Syd floated into the area with Venom at his side, surveying the gruesome scene of the mummies tearing into their victims.

The three wolf mummies turned their heads toward Syd, baring their teeth, as if ready to attack.

Venom growled in response, eager for action. "Syd, let me handle this. It's been too long since I've had a fight…"

But before Venom could strike, the mummies froze as they neared Syd. Seemingly sensing something, they dropped to the ground, bowing submissively.

"What just happened?" Venom was dumbfounded, staring at the once-aggressive creatures now acting docile and reverent.

Syd raised an eyebrow, puzzled, and decided to test them. "Come here," he said.

Obediently, the three mummies stood and approached, awaiting his command.

Syd's surprise deepened as he studied them. A thought began to form.

"Are they sensing something from me? Perhaps they've mistaken me for… someone else? Or… something else?"

He pondered for a moment, his mind landing on one plausible explanation.

"A god? Have they mistaken me for an Egyptian deity?" Syd mused, intrigued.

The idea made sense—after all, divine entities often shared overlapping auras or energies, and the origins of many pantheons were interconnected.

Deciding they weren't worth further thought, Syd turned away. To him, these wolf mummies were inconsequential—they couldn't harm him even if they tried.

Without hesitation, Syd moved toward where Lisa and the others had fled.

The wolf mummies hesitated briefly before returning to their grisly feast. As they gnawed on the corpses, blood pooled beneath them, seeping into the ground. Eventually, the bodies shriveled into skeletal remains.

Farther down the corridor, Syd floated past more bodies, some crawling with small black insects. Sensing his presence, the insects scattered, leaving his path unobstructed.

As he moved deeper into the pyramid, he saw fewer bodies, finally arriving in a space devoid of corpses.

Ahead, Lisa and the remaining survivors leaned against a wall, panting and trembling with fear.

After several moments, they began to calm down, taking in their surroundings.

Their attention was immediately drawn to the centerpiece of the chamber—a golden altar surrounded by countless skeletons. Atop the altar lay a body.

"Gold?"

The nine survivors' breathing grew rapid with excitement.

Despite their terror moments earlier, greed took over as they approached the altar.

"That's a body?" Lisa said, her eyes locking onto the figure.

The body wore a golden mask and was adorned with lavish decorations. A golden sword protruded from its chest, and it held a golden ankh.

Unlike the skeletal remains around it, this body appeared intact, as though it had only recently died.

"Is this the pharaoh's body?" someone murmured, awestruck by the lavish ornaments.

Giovanni quickly gave instructions. "Be careful. Don't damage anything when you take it."

He began stripping the body of its treasures while the others watched.

Lisa, drawn by the golden sword, reached out toward it. Suddenly, her vision blurred, and an eerie chant echoed in her ears.

Almost involuntarily, her hand grasped the sword's hilt.

Before Giovanni and the others could react, Lisa pulled the golden sword free.

Capítulo 382: Chapter 382

With a sharp swish, the golden sword was pulled from the pharaoh's chest.

Hearing the sound, everyone instinctively turned toward Lisa, who now held the golden sword in her hands.

"What are you doing?!" Giovanni exclaimed in shock.

The rest of the group stared at her, stunned by what she had just done.

They had all noticed the golden sword embedded in the pharaoh's chest earlier, but an unspoken understanding kept them from touching it. It was as though their instincts told them not to disturb it, even though it was made of gold.

If they had considered taking it, it would have been only after everything else was gathered—and even then, most likely, they would have decided against it.

"Lisa, why didn't you discuss this with us before pulling it out?" Giovanni said angrily. "Don't you realize pulling that thing could be dangerous?!"

The others quickly chimed in, their tones filled with annoyance.

"Yeah, Lisa, are you out of your mind?"

"We already had enough treasure to haul away—why did you have to mess with that?"

But Lisa, the target of their ire, stood motionless, her expression blank, as though she hadn't heard a word.

Seeing her in this state, a chill ran down Giovanni and Najido's spines. A sense of dread crept into their minds.

"Lisa, don't scare us like this!"

Their growing panic was interrupted by a loud, rough voice echoing from the shadows nearby.

"What are you doing?!"

Startled, the group turned to see a band of people stepping out of the darkness. They were dressed in brown robes, holding flashlights and curved blades, and had distinct Egyptian features.

"Who are you people? How did you get in here?" Giovanni asked in disbelief.

Instead of answering, the leader—a middle-aged man with a thick beard—glared at them angrily. "Are you insane? How dare you disturb the pharaoh and pull out that golden sword?!"

Lisa seemed to snap out of her daze as his words echoed. Looking at the sword in her hand, she appeared confused. "So what if I pulled it out?" she retorted instinctively.

"So what?!" The bearded man, Kabba, laughed furiously. "Don't you know pulling that sword might awaken the tyrant?"

Under Kabba's explanation, the group learned the truth.

These men were part of a lineage of guardians tasked with watching over the pyramid and preventing greedy intrusions.

The body on the golden altar was indeed a pharaoh. During his reign, he had tried to use the pyramid and a ritual to borrow the great sun god Ra's power to resurrect and restore his youth.

However, the pharaoh's cruel and tyrannical rule led his own son, the next pharaoh, to oppose him. The ritual was interrupted by driving the golden sword into his heart, halting his resurrection.

The guardians' mission wasn't just to protect the pharaoh's resting place from outsiders but also to ensure he never rose again.

Even the guardians themselves only half-believed in the resurrection's possibility. They doubted the ritual's efficacy after being disrupted, and the notion of revival itself seemed implausible.

As Kabba and his men scanned the golden altar, they breathed a sigh of relief when nothing seemed to happen.

"It seems nothing has changed," Kabba muttered, visibly more relaxed.

With no signs of disturbance from the pharaoh's body, Kabba's focus shifted. His piercing gaze turned toward the intruders.

"How did you get past the barrier to reach this place?" he demanded.

Giovanni, now calmer, drew his black pistol and pointed it directly at the group of guardians. "Drop your blades. Don't make a move, or I'll shoot," he warned coldly.

"You can test whether your blades are faster than my bullets."

Kabba and the others tensed at the sight of the firearm, clearly unprepared for this development.

As the tension reached a boiling point, the entire pyramid suddenly began to tremble.

"What's happening?!"

Before anyone could react, a golden beam of light shot down from the ceiling, illuminating the altar.

"Sunlight?"

"How can sunlight reach this deep into the pyramid?"

Both Lisa's group and the guardians stared at the altar in stunned silence.

The golden light grew increasingly intense, flooding the altar and the pharaoh's body with radiant energy.

The pharaoh's golden ornaments shimmered brilliantly, dazzling everyone present.

Boom!

A powerful shockwave erupted from the altar, sending Lisa and the others flying backward. They landed heavily on the ground, groaning in pain.

But they had no time to dwell on their injuries. All eyes were fixed on the pharaoh's body, which began to change within the golden beam.

The wound in the pharaoh's chest, where the golden sword had been embedded, started to heal rapidly.

Even more horrifying, the pharaoh's hand twitched.

"His hand moved! Did you see that?" Norbert shouted in disbelief.

"Yes!"

"I saw it too…"

As Giovanni and the others stood frozen in shock, Kabba's expression darkened. He muttered in a trembling voice, "The interrupted ritual… it's restarting?"

"How is this possible?"

"We're doomed," he added, his tone filled with fear.

A younger guardian named Colin, an attractive man in his twenties, looked confused. "Even if the pharaoh revives, why are we doomed? I've got a gun. What could he possibly do against bullets?"

Some of the others nodded in agreement, finding Colin's point reasonable.

Kabba glared at them angrily. "You fools! The legend says this pharaoh was incredibly powerful, skilled in rituals that only the most gifted priests could perform."
