Chapter 243: Raid dungeon (35)
The night passed by quickly and we weren't allowed to sleep since that concept didn't exist for the mummies.
So all we could do was keep building the houses with the other mummies.
When morning came, the surrounding area was already looking like a proper neighbourhood.
That was when the mummy that had led us here yesterday came back.
It was surprised to see all of these strange new houses that had come up and when it followed the crowd, it found who was responsible for them.
The mummy just looked at us with a surprised look as it never expected that we would bring this surprise to it.
This was just a routine checkup after bringing in the new recruits, but now…it seemed like it would have to bring them to see someone.
So after a moment of being surprised, that mummy came forward and waved at us.
When I saw this, I immediately knitted my brows before calling for the rest of our group.
Blaze and Kaito looked like they weren't willing to go just yet since they were still having fun building the houses with the mummies, but they knew in their hearts that they had to go.
The rest of them just followed after me.
It was only Long Shui Ling who looked like she had a problem. Find exclusive stories on m_v l|e'm-p| y r
She had been keeping up these illusions all night without any rest, so one couldn't even begin to imagine just how hard this was for her. It was surprising that she didn't run out of magic power, but we had seen her drinking some kind of potion in the middle of the night before recovering her mana.
But even that still wasn't enough to keep her going.
It wouldn't take long before she ran out of mana, so we had to find a way out of here.
I was hoping that this mummy would give us that way out.
When we came over, the mummy waved at us to follow it before turning around to walk off in a different direction.
We didn't know where he was leading us, but we still followed behind him.
But as we walked off, I could see that the mummies around us had concerned looks on their faces. It was as if they were worried about us heading in this direction.
This direction went further deeper into the second floor, where the stairs leading to the third floor was.
Based on what I had heard from the other mummies last night…that should be where the one that they called 'Szaker' was.
If that was the case, why would they be worried?
Unless, the 'Szaker' had summoned other mummies before and they had disappeared?
If that was the case, I would have heard something about this last night.
So why did they seem worried?
I wasn't able to figure this out and I didn't have time to think about it as the mummy leading us started moaning at us.
I didn't understand what it was saying, but I could hear the word 'Szaker' many times.
It seemed that my guess was correct and that we were indeed being led to see this 'Szaker'.
But the fact that we were being brought to the leader so soon was very worrying…
I tried moaning in an attempt to ask the mummy what was happening, but all he did was wave his hand to stop me from asking more questions. It was as if he was trying to avoid these questions that I asked it.
This just made me even more worried.
After walking for a bit, we found ourselves on an empty second floor.
We had gone past the area that was being developed and reached the part that hadn't been developed yet.
But that only lasted for a bit before we found ourselves surrounded by mummy guards.
These were powerful mummies based on the aura coming from them.
They seemed even more powerful than the mummies that had been guarding the wall.
These should have been the elite monsters that guarded the floor boss of the second floor…and here they were guarding the floor boss' room.
When we came towards them, they immediately raised their weapons to stop us.
The mummy leading us moaned a few things to them and gestured to us, as if it was explaining the situation.
The guard mummies remained silent for a bit as they stared at us.
The longer that they stared at us, the more nervous we felt.
If it wasn't for the illusions, it might have really been a problem to keep calm.
Well, if it wasn't for the illusions, they would have attacked us right away for being humans in the first place.
So the illusions were helping in the end.
After a long silence, the guards finally moved out of the way and seemed to allow us to pass.
The mummy that was leading us waved its hand at us and started moving forward again.
As we walked past the guards, we could feel their gazes still on us.
It was almost as if they were still observing us like they didn't trust us.
Only when we made it past these guards did we let out secret sighs of relief.
But we didn't let our guard down just yet since we knew that what was coming up was the real trial.
Even the others that didn't know everything that I did could tell that this was serious with how many guards there were here.
When we reached the floor boss room, the mummy pushed open the door and revealed a luxurious chamber.
This was completely different from the first floor's floor boss room that was completely empty.
This place was filled with gold and different magic items, almost like a real pharoah's tomb.
But that wasn't what attracted our attention.
Sitting in the center of this floor boss room on a throne was another mummy, but this mummy was clearly different from the rest.
When that mummy heard the door open, it turned and said, "Who is it?"
