Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

These crimson mummies are the most numerous and troublesome creatures that the Egyptian team can summon.

They are virtually inexhaustible; a single drop of blood seeping into the soil can give birth to twenty or thirty.

These crimson mummies are the essence of the Egyptian team's "sea of ​​corpses" tactic. If a countermeasure cannot be found, the Chinese team will inevitably suffer the same fate as Britain and Greece, being slowly worn down by this crimson tide!

"They're charging at us!" Mu Nujiao warned.

"Hold the formation steady, don't get split up!"

"Let them climb over mountains and valleys first!" Zhao Manyan pushed forward with both palms, and the ground immediately rippled. Under the halo of light, these ripples quickly rose, transforming into rugged mountain barriers, undulating and uneven. The foolish undead could only climb up and down the terrain, only increasing their arduous journey.

"Everything grows!"

With a flick of her long sleeves, Mu Nujiao sent countless emerald green seeds flying towards the undulating mountain barrier. The next moment, a demonic tree with sharp, blade-like branches burst forth from the earth, growing wildly from a tender bud to a five- or six-meter-tall, razor-sharp tree in just a few seconds!

"Ye Wu!"

Mu Nujiao manipulated the trees to sway, and in an instant, countless sharp leaves danced in the whirlwind she whipped up. The leaves were incredibly sharp, easily tearing through the mummies' shrouds and piercing their iron-like muscles. The foremost twenty-odd crimson mummies were sliced ​​to pieces in a flash…

The cyan blades quickly turned blood red, and the first wave of attacking undead was completely wiped out.

"I'll trap them all. Lin Lan, Mo Fan, you two clear the area!" Zhao Manyan shouted.

"it is good!"

Zhao Manyan squinted and saw that the remaining seventy or eighty crimson mummies were still bouncing around in the mountain barrier. He slammed his palms down on the ground.

A powerful tremor of the earth rippled toward the mountain barrier, and four giant rock walls rose from the ground, completely sealing the group of crimson mummies inside, like a rock prison!
Several mummies stretched out their sharp claws and began to climb, but after only a few meters, bolts of lightning crashed down, smashing them to pieces...

"BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!!!!"

More lightning bolts rained down, carpet-bombing the prison area. Two mid-level spells were enough to wipe out seventy or eighty crimson mummies!

"You guys are really something." Mu Nujiao smiled.

……

As the smoke cleared and a sense of relief began to appear on everyone's faces, pairs of eerie green eyes lit up like stars in the dust—another row of identical mummies appeared, and the smiles on the faces of the Chinese team instantly froze.

"Holy crap, no way!!" Zhao Manyan cursed out loud.

In the brief moment between their destruction of the first batch of crimson mummies, the five Egyptians summoned an even larger wave of undead. This time, there were far more, at least two hundred. Among the surging mummy horde, a colossal mummy, towering three stories high, stood out. It too was wrapped in crimson shrouds, but its arms had evolved into two menacing axes, its terrifying aura filling the air a hundred meters above!
“It’s the Demon Axe Mummy, this guy is a bit tough to deal with!” Mo Fan said in a deep voice.

"You guys deal with the small fry, I'll take care of the big ones!" Lin Lan said.

……

"Ah ...

More than two hundred crimson mummies charged forward, ravenous and ferocious, no different from the monsters outside the city. It was unimaginable what would happen if any academy member were outmatched, and the assistant referee was even slightly delayed in their rescue—would they be devoured alive by these brutal undead?
"Frost Thunder Eagle." Lin Lan summoned the Frost Thunder Eagle.

The Frosthawk soared into the air, instantly freezing a large number of crimson mummies to death. The undead's speed was also drastically reduced by the ice element.

With a gust of wind and a roll of ice, the undead were frozen into blocks of ice. The Frost Thunderhawks swept through the enemy ranks with unstoppable force, and the undead army was simply unable to resist.

“Ice Domain and Plant Base,” Mo Fan said to Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao.

"understand!"

The two knew this was a positional battle, and they had to hold their ground in the safe zone. If the undead broke their formation and the team was divided and surrounded, they would be in danger.

First, the plants stretched out wildly, then the ice domain unfolded...

"Damn it, this university tournament has turned into a tower defense game! If we keep playing this passive defense, we'll eventually be worn down like Britain and Greece!" Zhao Manyan couldn't help but curse.

The undead keep coming, so the formation can't be disrupted; the only option is defense. But if you just defend, the undead will keep coming in wave after wave, and you'll eventually be overwhelmed. Egypt's tactic is truly shameless, completely changing the nature of the academic rivalry!

The undead weren't truly born from the soil, but rather summoned from the land of the dead to the battlefield, much like a magical incantation. The Egyptian team members cast spells in succession, and an endless stream of undead emerged from the earth in astonishing numbers. Before they had even finished dealing with the two hundred-odd crimson mummies, another large patch of crimson mummies appeared, stirring restlessly—a sight that sent chills down everyone's spine!

Lin Lan constructed a summoning constellation, opened a dimensional gate, and summoned a horde of blood beasts. These beasts were far stronger than the crimson mummy; they charged wildly, trampling the mummy into a bloody pulp in the blink of an eye!

The Frost Thunder Eagle is primarily ice-based, and when combined with Mu Ningxue's Ice Domain and Mu Nujiao's plant-based abilities, it can last for a long time, perfectly dealing with the undead. However, this is ultimately only a temporary solution.

"Mo Fan, listen to me. The secret to the Egyptians' endless summoning of the dead lies in the Pharaoh's Spring. The Pharaoh's Spring can directly resurrect the dead. And as long as we absorb the essence of the dead, those dead will be truly dead. The most crucial thing is the Pharaoh's Spring. If we absorb this, the Egyptian team will be declared defeated in the finals." Lin Lan said to Mo Fan.

The Pharaoh's Well is an extremely powerful source of necromancy. It can both create the undead and reclaim them after death. The Egyptians only need to expend a small amount of necromancy magic to reshape the undead and put them back into battle!

Because this energy is attached to the soul, some spirits unconsciously integrate it into their own souls, thus becoming more powerful than other spirits. The souls they transform into after death are also higher-level essences!

With each spirit absorbed by the vessel of the dead, the Egyptians lost a portion of this essence. They could no longer summon spirits with impunity, and the rate at which the dead appeared noticeably slowed down.

They must possess a considerable amount of undead essence. If Lin Lan and Mo Fan absorb it together, the match will end quickly.

"I get it! No wonder these Egyptians could suddenly summon so many undead. It was the Pharaoh's Spring that was behind it. Little Mudskipper, try to suck it up. It's all money!" Mo Fan said excitedly.

Without Mo Fan needing to remind it, the little mudskipper started trying on its own after hearing Lin Lan's words. It focused intently on the remnants of souls emitting a pale purple glow, and as soon as they appeared, it would immediately inhale them fiercely!

Lin Lan's Soul Vessel could absorb a large number of souls with a single pull.

Egypt is basically giving away money. (End of Chapter)
