AT NIGHT(8B, 8C, 1137S, 822W, PLS12'583'4938, 2SGLS, 3PS)
Ring Ring~
Ring Ring~
"Why in the fucking world no one is a answering?" Chen Xiao cursed. He has called Bai Cangfeng and Zhao Manyan but no one is answering.
"Hopefully, Jiang ShaoXu pick up my call." Chen Xiao called Jiang ShaoXu.
Ring Ring~
"# Hello" an unknown voice answered.
"# Who are you?" Chen Xiao asked worried the curse might harm everyone.
"# Your girlfriend is captured by us. If you want her alive then come to Gray Fortress in the north of the city with all of your friends." unknown voice threatened.
"# I'm coming." Chen Xiao flew towards the city at insane speed.
"Stop right there, unauthorised mages can not allowed to enter." a soldier alerted. Chen Xiao land before the soldier.
"It's General Ethan's guest." a soldier blurted.
"Are you sure?" another soldier asked.
"Yes, he is the person who saved the Qena city."
soldier confirmed.
"Sorry sir for troubling you. Please enter." soldier made a way for Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao made his way to the towering gray fortress.
BOOOM! A section of wall blown away revealing a serpent monarch followed by large number of serpents.
"Damn it... Level 1 Blink: Single" Chen Xiao appeared near the commanding officer of troops engaging the serpent monarch.
"Who are you?" commanding officer asked in surprise.
"Ask your troops to retreat. I'm going to cast a Super Tier Spell." Chen Xiao alerted.
"What? have you taken me as stupid. Identify yourself." commanding officer asked in fury.
"I'm Chen Xiao General Ethan's guest... Level 1 Nine Commandment Imprisonment: Hydra." Chen Xiao form the Star Palace but didn't cast the spell.
"All mages retreat at once." commanding officer ask the soldiers to retreat after seeing the breathtaking Star Palace.
"Die" Chen Xiao muttered finally landing the spell after mages evacuate the vincity.
"Thank you very much senior." commanding officer thanked the running Chen Xiao.
IN THE FORTRESS
BOOOM!
"What is happening out there?" a roughned up man asked in frustration. A soldier went outside to ask.
"A serpent monarch break into formation but it is dealt with now." the soldier came back in few minutes and informed.
"This quick!" roughned up man exclaimed.
"Fortunately, Sir Chen Xiao was in the city." soldier said in relief.
"Which Sir?" another man asked in authoratitive tone.
"Sir Chen Xiao! major general might not have heard about him but his fame spread like wild fire. He has defeated a Dark Swordmaster and a Medusa Serpent all alone in a single day." soldier explained in admiring tone.
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
"Gangma, we need to run." non-roughned up man said, he was the person who picked up call from the contact saved as 'Xiao Darling'.
"Saks are you really believing this shit. A single Super Tier mage defeated two monarchs..."
"Actually three monarchs sir, he killed third one few seconds ago." soldier corrected Gangma.
"Three or two, Gangma we are leaving. It wouldn't be good if he saw his girlfriend in this condition." Saks suggested.
"Ok" Gangma agreed.
OUTSIDE
"I'm here to meet the recently caught prisoners." Chen Xiao stated his business.
"Yes Sir, I will take you there." a soldier on duty lead Chen Xiao in the prison.
"Hmm... where is the owner of this phone." Chen Xiao asked holding a pinkish phone.
"Sir we don't know, we were only ordered to escort you here. We have no information on the prisoners." a soldier replied.
"You there, who else were with you?" Chen Xiao asked European students.
"It's just us, that phone somehow got into my bag. Maybe they put it in to track us." a girl replied.
"Then, they will be coming here. You are to stay here until they come." Chen Xiao ordered not trusting their answer.
"Who are you to order us around? Do you know who we are? we are from the prestigious families of Europe and trust me you don't want to mess with us." a boy threatened Chen Xiao.
"Oh sorry sorry... please go." Chen Xiao acted.
"That's how you deal with such people?" boy said proudly and exit the prison.
"Level 5 Space Rythm: Delay" Chen Xiao almost freeze the cocky boy.
"Such strong 'Space Rythm: Delay'." mentor gulped a mouthful.
"Mentor Vani please help Ferroro." a girl plead.
"Sofia, that young man is very strong even stronger than those two Super Tier mages combined." Vani try to calm the girl.
"But he is so young, how could he be stronger than you?" another boy asked in disbelief.
BOOOM!
"What now?" Chen Xiao asked in frustration.
"I will check sir." a soldier run outside.
"Ahhhh" soldier screamed in pain.
"How come you are here?" Mu Bai asked in surprise.
"Where are others?" Chen Xiao asked.
"Others are outside, fighting the guards... seems like they are done." Mu Bai after noticing the sound of battle stopped.
"Xiao~ , why are you here?" Jiang ShaoXu asked.
"Weren't you guys got cursed, I find the cure but none of you were answering and when I called Jiang ShaoXu, someone picked up the phone and asked me to come here." Chen Xiao explained.
"You find the cure?" Zhao Manyan asked.
"Who do you think I'm?" Chen Xiao said tossed the vial towards Zhao Manyan.
"Nooo!" Zhao Manyan missed the vial it shattered on the floor.
"Zhao Manyan, you fool!" Mu Bai scolded.
"Chen Xiao are you idiot, don't you know how much of a fool Zhao Manyan is?" Jiang ShaoXu scolded Chen Xiao.
"No need to scold him young miss. I think the effect of curse is gone." an old roughned up hunter said.
"Really?" Everyone closed their eyes.
"It's gone, we survived." Everyone cheered.
"Where is Mo Fan?" Heidi asked.
"Damn it, maybe he is gone after those scums." Zhao Manyan cursed.
"We should go as well." Jiang ShaoXu said.
All of us went to the frontlines after Mo Fan.
"Damn it... don't tell me he is already inside the HQ, if he happened to kill anyone in there whole army would be standing against him." Zhao Manyan said in frustration.
"Sir Chen Xiao, General Ethan has summoned you." a soldier came running and informed.
"Sir!" Everyone exclaimed.
"I will see you all later." Chen Xiao follow the soldier who take him to Ethan's office.
"Glad to see you, again. Your killing that Medusa have earned me quite a lot of merits. I also promised a reward to you. So, what kind of reward are you interested in- Defensive, Offensive, Cultivation, Spirit or something else?" Ethan asked.
"Do you know any craftsman who can upgrade my soul vessel?" Chen Xiao asked.
"I can introduce to one but if he will upgrade it or not depends on you. By the way, I heard from my men you have some connections to the group who claim to cause war between our undead kingdom and your undead kingdom. Is it possible?" Ethan asked in serious tone.
"Yes, it's true. Our undead kingdom forced your undead kingdom to run away. Khufu is also sleeping. So, if you enter the Pyramid of Giza now, you have the best chances of coming out of it alive." Chen Xiao explained.
"Is that so? but Khufu isn't the only danger in there. There are several monarch's in it and there is also restrictions." Ethan stated his point.
"That's indeed the case. So, when will you take me to that craftsman?" Chen Xiao asked.
Ring Ring~
"Sir!" a soldier came in.
"Take him to Mr. Halzaf." Ethan ordered.
"Yes Sir!" soldier shouted. Chen Xiao stood up and follow the soldier.
It turn out, the craftsmen are relentlessly working in the HQ.
"Mr. Halzaf is in workshop no. 7. Have a Good day Sir." soldier left.
I went to workshop no. 7 and knocked.
"Who is it?" an old man's voice came from inside.
"I'm here with the permission of General Ethan." Chen Xiao replied.
"Come in." old man allowed.
"Good Morning Mr. Halzaf." Chen Xiao greeted.
"What's so good about this morning? anyways what do you want to be crafted? by the order of General Ethan, the cost of crafting will be covered by the military but you will have to provide the materials." Halzaf said.
"I want this vessel of mine to be upgraded to higher level." Chen Xiao showed his soul vessel.
"A vessel to collect soul essences and remnants and fuse them as well. A rare artefact. Do you have more of this miraculous liquid?" Halzaf asked.
"No" Chen Xiao replied.
"Then you will have to find Pharoah Spring or I can just made it a Monarch Soul Container, it will be able to store Monarch Soul Essences but will not be able to fuse them." Halzaf offered.
"Here." Chen Xiao put the bottle of Pharoah Spring on table.
"Don't tell me you have been to a Pyramid?" Halzaf asked in shock.
"Nope" Chen Xiao replied.
"Then where did you find this treasure?" Halzaf asked.
"Just found, so how will it take you to upgrade my vessel?" Chen Xiao asked.
"Quite a few days." Halzaf replied.
AFTER FEW DAYS (11.7B, 8C, 1137S, 822W, PLS12'583'4938, 2SGLS, 2PS)
"I'm still amazed you actually have been inside a Pyramid." Halzaf said in admiration. Chen Xiao is too young when compared to many veterans who have been to Pyramid. Halzaf also wanted to go inside a Pyramid but couldn't.
"I have never been inside a Pyramid. So stop asking the same question." Chen Xiao finally snapped.
"Really? then where did you find the Pharoah Spring. Treasure like this are only found in the treasury or armoury of a Pyramid." Halzaf said.
"Treasury? armoury" Chen Xiao got interested in topic.
"You don't know? seems like you really haven't been inside a Pyramid. Treasury is the place where the priceless treasures of the pyramid are stored. But you will have to pass through the sleeping chamber of the Pharoah. And armoury is the place where the treasures a level lower than treasury treasures are stored. Like the Soul Grade Seeds, Galaxy Veins, Cultivation Tools, Pharoah Spring, Inferior Heavenly Veins and rarely a Medium Heavenly Vein. But armoury is protected by the second strongest being in the Pyramid, mostly a monster on the level same as an adult Medusa and Super Tier mages face restrictions. So, it is very hard to get anything out of armoury let alone treasury." Halzaf explained.
"How strong are these restrictions usually?" Chen Xiao asked.
"The restrictions made Super Tier Spells fell down to the level of Advance Tier. That's why Super Tier Summoning mages and Undead mages are usually allocated such missions." Halzaf said.
"Ok bye and thanks again for this masterpiece."
Chen Xiao thanked.
"You are always welcome if you bring such challenging tasks. It has refresh my mind." Halzaf said continue his work.
