Chapter 151: The Curse of Zartek

The thick black energy like quicksand formed into a sphere and gathered in the hands of Ipana III. He blew lightly with his black and rotten lips exposed outside the gauze, and the dark energy immediately began to spread outwards.

The energy ball in his hand was like an endless door, continuously pouring out black energy. The first thing that came into contact was the ten-headed original snake lizard transformed by Peng Peng. Its huge and strong body had no power to resist this energy and was swallowed up in an instant, without even a bone left.

Nemesis frowned upon seeing this, as he had never seen the magic cast by the mummy of the ancient Maztec Empire. He could only judge the approximate effect of the spell based on the strong undead energy.

"Eating living things?"

After devouring the ten proto-basilisks, the dark energy spread even faster, rushing madly towards Nemesis at the top of the stairs.

"Hahaha, see the power of His Majesty Zartek!!" the mummy laughed wildly.

Nemesis stretched out his slender, bony, jade-white fingers and pointed them at the tide of dark energy.

Strong winds, lightning, fire, ice, all kinds of energy-shaping spells poured out under the effect of [Super Magic Instant Casting], but the black tide remained unmoved.

The strong winds could not blow, the lightning could not create any waves, and even the fire and ice were isolated from the surface of the black tide.

Nemesis then tried force field, thunder, mind, and positive energy attacks, but the former two were defeated by the black tide. Only the appearance of positive energy caused a large portion of the black tide to evaporate visibly.

"Oh? If you're afraid of positive energy, that's easy."

A cloak made of silver moonlight hung behind him. A holy aura descended from the sky. As soon as the black tide came into contact with the aura, it began to bubble and evaporate like boiling water. Nemesis could still faintly hear the wailing coming from it.

The spiritual light condensed into a sharp sword of light and swept towards the mummy. The black tide that it touched was defeated and destroyed without a trace. The mummy roared, and a ball of black sand suddenly appeared in front of him, forming a huge shield, which barely blocked the shining of the holy spiritual light.

"Damn it! You can actually destroy the [Curse of Zartek]?! This is impossible!" Ipana III was horrified.

Nemesis was still maintaining the Holy Light, constantly eroding the black shield in front of Ipana III, but he didn't take it seriously. [Holy Light] was originally an eight-ring magic, and with his power amplification, its strength reached twenty times. Any undead energy would probably turn into a wisp of green smoke if it came into contact with this holy light.

The shield formed by this so-called [Curse of Zaltek] can withstand for such a long time, which is already a very powerful magic.

Although ordinary necromancy is afraid of holy light, it is also afraid of fire, and even other elements can cause damage and obstruct it.

However, the magic controlled by the mummy in front of him was not ordinary. Except for positive energy, all common elements were ineffective against it. If a professional who did not master the means of positive energy attack was involved, he would probably be really helpless.

Although Nemesis was not clear about the principle of this spell, with his magic network perception, he could vaguely guess that the dark energy seemed to be made from a huge number of wronged souls.

This made the lawful neutral Tome Dragon quite unhappy. He had learned from the Rain Dragon that, apart from the two guardian goddesses believed in by the Pait people, the gods believed in by the Niksalans were more evil than the others, and they were all evil gods who squeezed the flesh and blood of their believers for sacrifice.

The magic skills mastered by their shamans are more evil than the last.

The only relatively civilized area of ​​the Nikesarans is the Kurtaka Kingdom established in the northeast. The shaman who practiced necromancy and was driven away was once a citizen of that kingdom.

The Huakli Alliance, where the refugees came from, was more cruel than the other. The gods they worshipped - Tezca, the ruler of the sun and fire, and Azul, the giver of rain and receiver of breath - were cruel gods who required their believers to offer fresh adult hearts and newborn babies as sacrifices every day.

In comparison, the Golden Legion's behavior towards the Paites could be said to be saintly. After all, even the disobedient Paites were merely driven away to be slaves to build the city.

Moreover, they were free to escape slavery at any time after converting to another religion.

"Foolish dragon! How dare you go against the glory of Zartek! I am Ipana III, a loyal follower of the Warbringer, the ancient who sleeps forever in the golden pyramid! Damn intruder, I will make you pay the price!!"

The shield shattered bit by bit under the shining of the holy light. This phenomenon seemed to anger the mummy, causing him to roar loudly in anxiety, as if destroying the black tide was a disrespectful act to the god named Zaltek.

The dark energy in his body surged suddenly, and then the black shield instantly disintegrated into a pool of loose sand. But just as the holy light was about to shine on the mummy, all the bandages on his body were untied, revealing his rotten and black body, and a bloody mouth full of fangs opened in his chest.

Except for the fangs, the skin was covered with strange leopard-like patterns, which looked extremely creepy when paired with the dark blue skin. The bloody mouth made a sharp sound, and then a black energy cone scattered outward from it and collided with the holy spiritual light.

The black energy cone and the holy aura produced a evenly matched contest, neither was inferior. Nemesis could feel that although the colors were similar, the attack in front of him was completely different from the so-called [Curse of Zaltek] just now. The black energy at this time was full of a violent element and contained a very high temperature. It should be a rare energy-shaping magic.

The holy light was obviously unable to restrain the fire, and soon Nemesis's [Holy Aura] died down.

"Humph!"

Nemesis snorted coldly, then extended his index finger again, and a huge amount of positive energy gathered at his fingertips again, but this time, in addition to the positive energy, there was also a gathering of fire energy.

Sixth-ring transmutation spell——[Sun Ray]!
As the short spell was completed, a thick, white energy column nearly one meter wide shot out and hit the mummy like an energy cannon. The pure high temperature also carried a very high concentration of positive energy, which instantly defeated the existence of the dark energy cone and enveloped the mummy's body.

Ipana III screamed violently, and his body slowly disappeared in the beam of light, the result of being engulfed by pure positive energy and flames.

"No!!! I won't die!!! I am immortal!!!"

Ipana III wailed in the flames. With a violent explosion, the mummy in the white energy column was blown to pieces, leaving no intact body. The only larger piece of the body was burned to ashes by the combination of pure positive energy and flames.
