Full-Time Magister: Dark Throne

Chapter 158 Khufu Submits, Two-Thirds of Hades' Authority!

"The Big Boss".

Staff Officer Fenner gave the man standing at the very front of the square tower a perfectly standard military salute.

"How is the situation?" Harken asked calmly.

Although it wasn't outwardly apparent, Staff Officer Finner could still sense the panic in Chief Harken's mind.

"The situation is not optimistic. The two sides of the undead have been locked in a stalemate for three days without any intention of attacking. They have only launched a few probing exchanges."

Following Harken's gaze, Staff Officer Finner looked out the window at the persistent crimson glow of the underworld, his eyes filled with barely suppressed worry.

The chaos surrounding the Egyptian dead has lasted for more than half a month.

At first, the Egyptian residents were overjoyed because the mummified spirits that had been attacking people from time to time had inexplicably disappeared.

But gradually, their hearts were filled with fear.

Mummies and pyramids don't disappear without a reason; there's only one explanation for their disappearance:

War has broken out!

Moreover, it was a war of the undead that they were simply unable to participate in with their power!

Panic spread among residents of various Egyptian cities as they contacted each other, desperate to escape the land that was about to become a battlefield for the undead empire.

Whether it's other countries in Africa, or even further afield in Europe and the Americas, as long as we can survive, that's all that matters.

"Damn it, how could they possibly listen to us!" Vankos, the military intelligence officer, slammed his fist on the wall beside him and roared.

"These are no longer ordinary people; we must take strong measures!"

"Calm down, Wankos," Ethan, the commander-in-chief of the Cairo battle, said calmly.

"It's perfectly normal for the public to panic when two great undead empires are about to go to war next to Cairo. Don't you military officers even have the thought of fleeing?"

Wankos, the military intelligence officer, hesitated, then said, "But—"

"No need to say anything more." Ethan shook his head and stood up. "Those who want to escape, send a unit to gather them and send them out through the northeast gate!"

"As for those who remain—" Ethan sighed slightly and continued, "Move them all to the inner city's security perimeter. The outer city can no longer be defended."

"Commander Ethan, the Eastern Undead Empire has no intention of attacking us at all. Why should we abandon the outer city?"

A general asked, unwilling to give up.

Upon hearing his question, Commander Ethan gave a self-deprecating laugh: "Mortals like me don't even have the right to get close to the battlefield. Staying in the outer city, the aftershocks of the battle will surely tear us apart."

"No need for further explanation, execute the order!"

Ethan waved to the assembled generals with his back turned.

His back view looked somewhat lonely.

He wanted to see his wife and children one last time before sending them out of the city.

I don’t know if this was the last time they saw each other.

I just hope that I won't be turned into an undead by one of those two undead emperors after I die.

"Great Leader, there's been an unusual movement at the Great Pyramid of Giza." A staff officer in a military uniform, his eyes red and swollen, stepped into the office of the Great Leader of Haken.

For three days and three nights after the arrival of the Abyss of Sha, Chief Harken and his close confidants barely slept.

Even with only one or two hours of sleep each day, I am often awakened by terrifying scenes in my dreams.

The president and grand councilor of the Egyptian Magic Association had considered calling in forbidden spellcasters for protection.

But if a forbidden spell is cast so close to Cairo, then their capital city would be pointless to exist.

Moreover, they all understood this very well.

The forbidden spellcaster claims to be able to fight against emperor-level demons, but in reality, he is no match for emperors at all!

"What's wrong? Have those two emperors appeared?" Chief Harken suddenly turned his head, his aged eyes fixed on the advisor.

"No, no, neither the Pharaoh nor that ancient king from the East has shown up yet. It's the Sphinx; it has emerged after recovering from its injuries!"

The staff officer, feeling the sharp gaze, swallowed hard and relayed the information from the report.

"Sphinx?" The Harken chief frowned as he looked at the sky in the distance, which was divided in two by the radiance of the underworld.

Since Khufu's loyal hound appeared in the Abyss of Sha, it has come out to challenge him more than once.

But each time, they were beaten half to death by that mountain-sized giant corpse and then thrown back into the pyramid.

This time I came out.

Is it the same ending as before?

Or was it that Khufu finally couldn't resist taking action?

At this time, the Giza Plateau is located about 10 kilometers southwest of the capital, Cairo.

The massive mountain corpse is striding with its enormous legs toward the Great Pyramid of Giza in the distance.

"roar!!!!!!"

The Sphinx, standing opposite it, roared and charged toward the mountain corpse.

"Hmph!" The corpse of the mountain let out a disdainful snort.

How could a mere guard cat like this be a match for him after being enhanced by the emperor?

It swung its arms as usual, trying to knock the Sphinx away.

But this time, it encountered tremendous resistance.

"Hmm?" The corpse of the mountain looked at the Sphinx hesitantly.

A strange smile appeared on its face.

A sharp beam of light, imbued with a ghostly glow, shot straight toward the undead crystal of the mountain corpse!

"not good!"

Standing atop the mountain corpse's shoulder and commanding it, Jiuyou immediately sensed something was wrong and hastily used his abilities to intercept it.

But how could a mere monarch-level ghost possibly stop an attack imbued with the power of Khufu, the King of the Underworld?

"Bang!"

Just as the sharp edge was about to reach the corpse on the mountain peak.

A spatial gate suddenly opened, shattering the sharp edge.

"It's you!!!"

Khufu, draped in the white robes of an ancient pharaoh, emerged from the pyramid and roared in fury.

He would never forget that familiar spatial fluctuation.

At that time, it was the owner of this spatial fluctuation who used the head of the Dark Sword Master to convey a message to him, and also used sword intent to sever his beloved throne.

The curse that person cast on the sword intent has prevented the throne from being repaired to this day!

"Shh!" He An, dressed in a black imperial armor, gently raised a finger.

"You and your undead army are just as ugly and noisy. Be quiet, okay?"

A black necromantic power spread out from He An as the center, and the undead under Khufu's command were indeed silenced after being hit by this energy.

"This—" Alarm bells rang in Khufu's mind.

It is far from capable of doing this.

Could it be that this emperor from the East has already broken through to the Middle Emperor level?

"Khufu," He An said softly.

Khufu, the mighty undead emperor, shuddered as if he were a student caught not paying attention in class.

It hurriedly looked at He An, wanting to know what this emperor from the distant East wanted.

"You are a smart man, having ruled an undead empire for thousands of years. I think you wouldn't want to lose this almost eternal life for a little bit of Hades' authority."

"Give it to me, and I'll spare your life, how about it?"

"Dream on!" Khufu refused without even thinking.

That's a portion of Hades' authority!

How could it be handed over so easily with just a few words?

"I am not making a deal with you, Khufu." Hean looked at Khufu and said calmly, "The Egyptian towers that you could rely on have basically all fallen into my hands. The few remaining ones are as fragile as sandcastles built by children in my eyes."

"You should know what I'm talking about. After all, the gap between emperors and non-emperors is even greater than the distance between planes."

He An fully unleashed his Netherworld Divine Realm.

After reaching the Super-Tier, the Netherworld God Realm is now able to suppress undead emperors like Khufu.

"What?" Khufu felt the suppression exerted on him by the Netherworld Divine Realm, and his heart sank to the bottom of the earth.

Its own strength was already far inferior to He An's, and now it was further suppressed by the Netherworld God Realm.

"Either hand over power, or die," He An said calmly.

"I—" Khufu gritted his teeth and knelt on one knee, "I relinquish my power, but you must guarantee my life and my control over my kingdom as the Undead Emperor."

"You have no right to negotiate with me."

As He An spoke, he took out Ye Lan and severed the Hades' authority from Khufu's soul.

Khufu, who had been kneeling on the ground, collapsed as if all his strength had been drained away, and his overall momentum also collapsed.

He fell from a high-ranking position among minor emperors to a level barely qualifying as a legitimate emperor.

Ignoring Khufu, who was sprawled out like a rag doll, He An began to merge the power in his hand with the third of Hades' power hidden in his black armor.

Two powers unleashed a storm of ghostly light in mid-air.

A half-hidden, half-revealed gate to the underworld suddenly appeared in the eye of the storm, and He An stepped directly into it.

The energy generated by the fusion of powers is still too fierce for the fragile magical world.

If He An stays here any longer...

It's likely that the Great Pyramid of Giza and the entire city of Cairo would be blown to smithereens.
