Survival To Godhood - Chapter 158 The Bird Spiri
Sepha had mixed emotions. Fury and fear flowed through her. She didn’t know how to deal with the crisis at hand. The proclaimed Pharaoh of this world looked at her with lust. He probably just wanted her as a concubine, much less a partner in this world.
“What is your decision?” asked the arrogant peggian.
Dark Razor unleashed his full power to destroy the drones surrounding him. As he killed a few, more just took its place. How many drones did they prepare for them?
Seeing the Sphinx struggled to no avail, Sepha gave up fighting. She felt hopeless in this situation. She looked up at the peggian holding the rifle. Sepha sighed and thought of Geph.
“Allow me to join my fallen brother.”
“Fine then!” The peggian fired his rifle at the mermanian. The particle beam tore through the drones and ripped through the woman. As the ray penetrated her flesh, her body exploded like a bubble. It was some kind of illusion.
Peggians were naturally weak towards mind attacks, and Sepha took advantage of that and a little bit of water manipulation.
“Where is she?”
Sepha appeared behind him. “Your life is mine.” She stabbed a blueish metal dagger through his chest in seconds. With a twist, she ripped it out and leaped away.
The peggian couldn’t even react in enough time. Sepha pulled off the assassination effortlessly. Blood oozed from his wounds as he fell to his knees.
“Is this how I die? After I finally escaped my eternal enslavement.”
His sight slowly faded as he fell to the ground, just like that the world’s new Pharaoh died without anyone ever learning his name.
“Trash. All you beings are foolish,” spoke Keysol.
The winged-human slashed out with a burst of mana, blowing Leo into a nearby building. Even though he deflected the attack with his mace, the force still caused him to plummet into the structure.
He then sped over to attack Sepha. Exhausting all of her mana on the spiritual attack and dagger battles kill, Sepha couldn’t move in enough time. The sword tip traversed the air as it approached the mermanian. Light mana caused it to look like a rocket in mid-flight.
Sepha used her dagger to block the stabbing attack. The strike shattered her blade and burst open her shoulder. Keysol was just about to strike again when a dust explosion broke out below Dark Razor.
“Metal Control!”
Using the dust particles as a medium, Leo took control of the drones surrounding Dark Razor. He then made them fly to Keysol to surround him. Now the spirit controlling Keysol was trapped by the same trinkets he created.
Dark Razor and Leo walked over to the trapped Keysol while Sepha breathed a sigh of relief. She almost lost her life in mere seconds. She looked at Leo with sincere gratitude in her eyes.
Leo then asked, “Sepha, you ok?”
“I’m fine,” she replied.
Leo then shot Dark Razor a look, and he just nodded. Dark Razor then disappeared back towards the pyramid. He had to check on his brother. Seeing the Sphinx runoff, Leo turned back towards the man trapped by the drones.
“So artifact spirit, time to released my friend.”
“You think I’m that foolish. I will never trust humans again. You animals left me inside the beast to rot!”
“You know very well that was not us,” Leo said with a bit of compassion.
“Like I care about the specifics. Let me out, or I shall kill this man.”
“Woah…Woah…hold on there. Let’s be reasonable here. What can we do to guarantee Keysol’s life?” Leo panicked as he felt mana fluctuations within Keysol.
“Give me a body. I can’t move on my own due to being tethered to the stone tomb.” Spirit in Keysol replied to Leo’s question. “Let me say this now. I will not take some weak mortals body. It has to be one of you.”
for visiting.
Leo shot a look to Sepha with a look of not knowing what to do. Then two beast arrived with one carrying the other. Dark Razor had a solemn look as Green Tooth barely hung onto life. Seeing the blood-covered Dark Razor, Leo knew Green Tooth’s injury was severe.
Green Tooth couldn’t talk, but he sent a mana message to everyone. “We overheard the entire conversation. Let him have my body.”
Everyone was shocked. Even Dark Razor didn’t expect to hear him say that.
“I won’t take a half-dead body!”
Green Tooth lifted his half-dead head and replied, “You can heal my body with your life energy from your soul crystal from the tomb.”
“Why would I waste my life energy? I have a perfectly good body at the moment.”
“Ha…if you keep that body, you will die right here and now.” After the last message, Green Tooth coughed up a bunch of blood onto Dark Razor’s head. It didn’t faze the Sphinx at all. Even if he were covered head to toe, Dark Razor would carry Green Tooth for eternity.
Seeing that the lion beast would die at any moment, the spirit didn’t have long to decide. Leo and Dark Razor wanted to retort, but seeing how serious Green Tooth acted, they didn’t say a word.
“Fine. Hurry and allow me to enter before you croak.”
“Leo, allow me through the drones.” Green Tooth messaged to Leo.
“Goodbye, Green Tooth.” Leo messaged back to him.
Green Tooth used what remaining mana he had to enter the bubble of drones. He looked back to Dark Razor. He didn’t send a mana message, but dark knew this was goodbye.
The stone tomb within Keysol’s armor floated over and landed on Green Tooth’s back. As soon as the spirit left Keysol’s body, he plummeted to the bottom of the drone sphere. Leo allowed him to slip through, and Sepha caught him.
Inside Green Tooth’s mind, the spirit was angry to find the beast shielded himself. The spirit was tricked once again. Green Tooth spirit smiled at the bird.
“While I was in the ruins of Geb, I found writing about what happened after you were swallowed. The deicide wiped out all of the cultivators, leaving only a few mortals trapped in the rubble. You weren’t sacrificed or left on purpose. It’s just the Pharaoh who died before he could rescue you.”
The bird spirit didn’t know how to respond. All this time, only resentment and hatred remained, but it was he who was wrong. He didn’t know what to do now.
Green Tooth was always an intelligent and cunning fighter. He knew this news would lower the spirit’s defenses. “Jade Fire Soul Explosion!” Green Tooth’s mind yelled out. He ignited his core and soul releasing a terrible explosion.
The spirit of the tomb had no time to react and was swept up in the wave. Leo, seeing Green Tooth explode, had the drones use all of their mana to block the blast.
The self-sacrifice annihilated the Green Tooth and the spirit in the tomb. The combined mind and physical attack eradicated him, leaving a spiritless tomb flying. The drones having blocked the blast just fell to the ground.
As the dust settled, the battle in Osiris ended. No one said a word, as Leo, Sepha carrying Keysol, and Dark Razor left towards Ra. Nothing needed to be said. They saved Duat from tyranny, but loss two brothers in the process.
