Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

Chapter 13 Journey to the West

Time flies by, and the sun sets three times.

Li Ye bid farewell to Lancelot and set out on the journey to the Kingdom of the Sun.

....
The sandstorm raged, occupying the entire sky and earth.

Preventing the green flying dragon from moving forward.

"The atmospheric temperature is around fifty degrees..."

Li Ye, who had completely integrated into the local area and surrounded himself with water, found himself in a strong wind and might be lost.

Unlike the previous trip to the shrine led by Hassan Jingsi, Li Ye had no guide on this trip to the desert. In addition, there were no obvious landmarks in the sandstorm, which caused Li Ye to quickly lose his sense of direction in this endless sandstorm.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but Li Ye was almost getting impatient.

Dark shadows came from the storm.

The winged monster with a sphinx's body and a human face stared at Li Ye silently.

'Sphinx!'

Li Ye, who was well prepared, recognized the true form of the monster in front of him, the Sphinx in Egyptian mythology.

"I didn't mean to invade the territory. I can leave immediately!" Li Ye, who had finally seen a living thing, shouted loudly without having time to be happy, trying to communicate with the Sphinx.

But what he got was not a response, but a fierce beam of magic power!

The Sphinx opened its mouth and the yellow sand moved all over the sky.

boom!
The dazzling beam of light instantly pierced through the sandstorm, leaving behind a huge sand pit in the endless yellow sand. A layer of crystalline substance adhered to the surface of the sand pit, shining brightly.

Li Ye's figure appeared in the distance, avoiding the Sphinx's sudden attack.

"Do you want to take action?"

Li Ye thought quickly, would killing this Sphinx bring him into conflict with the Sun King's forces?
The Sphinx undoubtedly represents an important part of Egyptian mythology, not to mention that the Sphinx was summoned by the Sun King and others and placed in the desert.

Fight or flight?
Zheng!
After a struggle between heaven and man, Li Ye slowly lowered his body and placed his palm on the hilt of the sword.

As Li Ye's magic power surged, the magic power surrounding his body crackled like electric arcs.

And Li Ye's eyes also quietly turned into vertical pupils.

boom!
The red lightning was like a dragon, tearing through the storm with unmatched force.

Then, a belated roar was heard, and blood rain soaked the yellow sand. The huge body of the Sphinx fell to the ground with a loud bang, and a bloody hole that was transparent from front to back appeared on its chest!
A few dozen meters away, Li Ye finally got rid of the inertia and looked back.

A charred gully, as if struck by lightning, appeared between him and the Sphinx.

Without using the Mystic Death Eyes, he achieved an instant kill with his own strength!

"It takes time to settle down." Li Ye suppressed the smile on his face.

Three days of sedimentation really gave Li Ye something. Lancelot's swift attack, which was specially designed to target Li Ye's powerful explosive power, was so powerful that it could break the sound barrier.

The biggest problem is that Li Ye can't control himself, and the pre-charging time is too long.

Just as Li Ye was immersed in the joy that I was simply a genius, the dark shadow that descended again broke his good mood.

Li Ye couldn't help but smack his lips. How many sphinxes did the Sun King throw into the desert?

Then an angry question instantly overwhelmed the roaring storm: "Outsider, do you want to be an enemy of the Sun King?"

It was then that Li Ye noticed that there was a person standing on top of the Sphinx, holding the Scepter of Vance. She was wearing a simple yet elegant white dress and a gold chain on her dark skin. Although she looked like a girl, she gave Li Ye a sense of noble temperament.

But from the fluctuations of magic power, Li Ye instantly recognized the girl's true identity.

Her real name is Nitocris, the Pharaoh of the Sixth Dynasty of Egypt!
The first thing Nitocris saw was the lifeless Sphinx in the wind and sand. She was furious and asked, "I am Pharaoh Nitocris. Answer me, do you want to challenge the glory of the Pharaoh?"

"I didn't mean to do that. It was this Sphinx that attacked me first!" Li Ye, who didn't want to have a conflict with Nitocris, tried to explain.

“Such atrocities must not be forgiven lightly!
If you want to prove yourself, you must use the appropriate force to earn the forgiveness of the great Pharaoh Nitocris!"

"Mirror of the Underworld, show yourself!"

As Nitocris waved the Scepter of Vance, a round mirror-like darkness unfolded in front of Li Ye.

The flawless white skeleton was slowly lifted up, and six human-shaped skeletons stood in front of Li Ye!
"Is it a ghost?!"

The undead summoned by Nitocris were slightly different from the ghosts that Li Ye saw in the Azrael Temple. They were covered in armor on their white skeletons and armed with strangely shaped swords and guns.

Moreover, each skeleton seemed like a warrior who had experienced hundreds of battles, giving Li Ye a murderous aura!

"Is it a summoning of the dead similar to the summoning of heroic spirits, but limited to the Egyptian dead?" Through the fluctuations of magic power emitted by the skeleton, Li Ye immediately realized that the summoning of the dead used by Nitocris was not that simple.

Li Ye had no time to think, the six Egyptian undead rushed forward together and launched a fierce attack towards Li Ye!
Zheng!
Forced to fight back, Li Ye immediately prepared for battle.

Unlike the Azrael Temple, Li Ye now knew how to deal with such a large number of enemies.

With a loud bang, Li Ye instantly closed the distance between himself and the six undead spirits.

The sudden outburst was so sudden that even Nitocris was unable to react, let alone these six undead souls!
boom!
The extremely powerful punch seemed to carry a tremendous force, piercing right through an undead creature!
The sudden rise in wind pressure pushed away the ubiquitous sandstorm!

"There are five more!" Li Ye's eyes were as fast as lightning, and his gem-like magic eyes locked onto the nearest undead, and he drew his sword!
The red lightning was like a rainbow, breaking through the death line with unmatched force! "You have some skills, but not enough!" Nitocris reacted and swung the Scepter of Vans heavily, and golden light flew out, and in a blink of an eye, it was about to hit Li Ye!
Seeing Nitocris attack again, Li Ye immediately gave up the remaining three undead and retreated.

Unexpectedly, the several golden lights suddenly changed direction, drew a sharp right angle in the sandstorm and rushed towards Li Ye again!
At this time, Li Ye also saw the true form of Jin Guang, a bunch of big metallic eyeballs.

But no matter what material it is, it has no effect on Li Ye!
But just a few swords could cut off all the golden light!

Then, Li Ye took advantage of the fact that Nitocris had not yet launched the next wave of attack and dealt with the remaining three undead with great force!
"I have to say that you are truly an extraordinary warrior. You are indeed an outstanding warrior. I can only admit that!"

Nitocris's angry voice made Li Ye feel a little relieved.

But then he changed the subject: "But the trial is not over yet! Since you have killed the Sphinx, you must accept the Sphinx's wrath and use this to prove whether you can make up for your sins. Let this Sphinx given to me by the Pharaoh himself tear your hands and feet apart!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Nitocris disappeared, leaving the unusually huge Sphinx and Li Ye to confront each other.

“Very strong—”

Thinking of this, Li Ye silently lowered his body and locked onto the most obvious line of death on the Sphinx's body.

"Wait!! I regret it, so I'll just forgive you."

Nitocris appeared out of nowhere and quickly stopped Li Ye's next move.

Seeing that Nitocris had lost her will to fight, Li Ye also walked down the stairs: "So I finally got Miss Nitocris's forgiveness, right?"

"That's right! Pharaoh Nitocris has decided to forgive you, be thankful for that!" Nitocris shouted loudly with his eyes wide open.

"Great Pharaoh Nitocris, can I leave now?" Li Ye didn't want to continue to entangle with Nitocris for the time being, and just wanted to get away as soon as possible.

"Let me ask you, do you want to go to the Holy City and submit to the Sun King?"

Nitocris seemed to have reacted and saw that Li Ye seemed easy to talk to, so she questioned him.

"Yes, I came all the way here just to meet the great Sun King."

Li Ye continued, "Great Pharaoh Nitocris, can you guide me on the way forward?"

..........
After an unknown amount of time, Li Ye could feel the sandstorm weakening, until the sky suddenly became clear.

The freshness and freedom of the air did not intoxicate Li Ye. Things in the distance instantly attracted Li Ye's attention. Almost at first sight, he recognized the magnificent building that he had seen a few days ago.

The Great Composite Temple of Glory!

Unlike the magnificent temple that Li Ye saw when he was first summoned, the building complex located in the desert is even more magnificent.

Even someone like Li Ye, who knew nothing about the aesthetics of architecture, could see the beauty of that existence at a glance.

'Want to go? '

Li Ye stopped outside the magnificent building complex, staring at the pyramid in the center and fell into deep thought.

The task given to him by the Lion King is to gather intelligence, so to what extent is it considered gathering intelligence?
Is it enough to meet the Sun King or is this level enough now?
Li Ye couldn't be sure. He had no idea about the mission that was delayed for three days before it was set off.

After thinking for a while, Li Ye felt that since he was already here, it wouldn't be a big deal to leave.

As Li Yezheng stepped into the temple, he felt the existence of a grand thing here.

It's like the scorching sun in the sky.

Along the way, Li Ye saw many traces of people's activities and suddenly realized: not only the country, but also the people were summoned together. It was a complete country.

Li Ye, who had been observing the city, headed straight for the temple in the center.

The stone pillars that stretched out on both sides were engraved with many myths, which made Li Ye immersed in them. He did not come back to his senses until he climbed the long stairs.

Crossing the stairs, Li Ye was greeted by two solemn statues.

An eagle's head and a human body.

Li Ye took a deep breath and walked slowly into the temple.

The magnificent temple is lined with jade pillars, and the sacred murals reveal the identity of the temple's master.

Nitocris, who had met him once before, stood quietly at one side, while the black-haired king, who was sitting on the tower-like jade throne, raised his eyes slightly.

"!"

Li Ye subconsciously held his breath.

"Ok?"

The black-haired king straightened up a little, then couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha! Isn't this the Lion King's knight? Why, did the Lion King send you to gather intelligence?"

Sitting on the golden throne, the black-haired king laughed uncontrollably.

Almost at a glance, Pharaoh Osmandis recognized Li Ye, the guy who stood next to the Lion King.

That was what made Osmandis laugh so hard.

Different from the divinity of the Lion King, Li Ye can be sure that the existence in front of him is a true king, no matter in strength or magnanimity, he is a complete king!
He is both the son and incarnation of the sun god Ra;
Therefore, as the only absolute being on earth, he declared that just as birds flap their wings in the sky, fish swim in the sea, and flowers bloom in the wild, he should be the king of gods.
