Chapter 294: Chapter294-Boss? What’s There to Be Afraid Of?

The golden beam moved at incredible speed. By the time everyone saw it, it was already too late.

"Oh no! At that speed, there’s no way those two can dodge!"

"I knew it. They made such a huge scene. There was no way this would end well."

"What a pity. Two young lives, gone just like that. Sigh..."

Just as the surrounding Awakeners thought Caelan and Alyssa were doomed, in the very next moment, a brilliant light suddenly flashed across the sky.

At the same time, it was as if some enormous creature was rolling and twisting inside the dark green smoke.

"Look over there!"

No one knew who shouted, but in the next instant, another golden beam of light flashed past like lightning tearing through the sky!

Only this time, the direction of the beam had been refracted in the complete opposite direction from before.

It felt as though the beam had struck a mirror and been reflected away.

The Awakeners present had not even had time to react before they saw a large number of stone blocks on a distant pyramid shatter, followed by a violent explosion!

Not only that, but the monsters inside that pyramid were instantly wiped out by the beam, with more than half of them destroyed in one strike!

In the span of just a few breaths, the battlefield that had originally been packed full of monsters had already become empty.

Many Awakeners who were in the middle of casting skills froze on the spot.

What the hell was going on?

Weren’t they told there were a ton of monsters inside the pyramid?

I prepared two hundred bottles of potions, and I only just drank one bottle. Is the battle already about to end?

At this moment, Alyssa followed beside Caelan, the expression on her face so shocked that she was completely speechless.

She knew that Caelan could summon the [Divine Mirror Dragonlord], but she had never imagined that the [Divine Mirror Dragonlord] could actually reflect enemy skills!

If she remembered correctly, this [Divine Mirror Dragonlord] could also release skills of its own.

No, wait. It was one thing for Caelan to be powerful. After all, he was the Chosen One.

But why were his summons also this ridiculously strong?

"Stop spacing out. Come down."

Caelan patted Alyssa on the back. Only then did Alyssa realize that they had already passed through layer upon layer of monster blockades and arrived at the entrance of the pyramid.

Alyssa gave a slightly embarrassed "Mm," then slid directly down from Caelan’s back.

Only now did she begin observing their surroundings.

At the entrance of the pyramid stood two enormous sphinx statues, looking extremely majestic.

According to the history Alyssa had learned before, these two sphinx statues were actually powerful sealers.

Their purpose was not to guard, but to suppress!

After a pharaoh died, undead would be born from them, and even an Emperor of Undead might appear. Thus, the meaning behind the sphinx statues’ existence was to suppress the undead inside the pyramid.

Caelan clearly knew this piece of history as well. However, when he saw the sphinx statues, he still fell briefly into a daze.

Sphinxes.

On the Earth in his memories, such things also existed.

But the difference was that their functions in these two worlds were completely different. It could even be said that they were entirely opposite.

Just then, Caelan keenly noticed that the remaining energy inside the sphinx statues was continuously leaking outward.

If nothing unexpected happened, these two sphinx statues would probably completely lose their energy after holding on for a few more months.

"Lord Caelan, look at this!"

Alyssa’s call immediately snapped Caelan back to his senses.

He turned and walked over to Alyssa’s side. At the same time, he noticed the reason she had called him.

Behind the enormous sphinx statues, there was actually a massive stone stele standing upright.

The edges of the stele had long since been severely weathered. Even its corners had been completely worn down.

Fortunately, the writing recorded on its surface still remained.

However, neither Caelan nor Alyssa recognized these words.

"So what exactly do these words mean?"

Alyssa furrowed her brows tightly and subconsciously looked toward Caelan.

At some point, she had grown accustomed to relying on him.

Caelan also did not recognize these words, but that did not affect his use of [Eye of Insight].

A moment later, however, a serious expression appeared on Caelan’s face.

"Alyssa, this should be a stone stele recording the bosses."

Caelan tried to make a judgment while slowly tracing his finger through the air across the stele.

"This is an introduction to [Pharaoh Edmund]. This one is [Lasha, the Gravebound Wraith]. And here is [York the Mummy]..."

Caelan listed more than a dozen names in one breath.

Most of these names were unfamiliar, but the famous name of [Pharaoh Edmund] was one that both Caelan and Alyssa knew very well.

After all, this pharaoh, who had accomplished great achievements in history, had once appeared in their history textbooks.

They simply had not expected that when they encountered him again, it would be in a scene like this.

Alyssa, standing at his side, was clearly feeling a little uneasy.

After all, she had not expected that the [Raise Undead] Instance would actually contain a pyramid, and that all these bosses would be gathered together inside it.

So she gently tugged at the corner of Caelan’s clothes and quietly tried to persuade him.

"Why don’t... we go back first? So many bosses are all inside the pyramid. Shouldn’t we..."

Before she could finish speaking, Caelan had already swung his sword fiercely, cutting the entire stele in half at the waist.

In the next moment, an intense earthquake surged rapidly upward from directly beneath the pyramid!

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

On the surface of the pyramid, large numbers of enormous stones fell while swaying violently from side to side.

The surrounding Awakeners were not much better off either. For most of them, even remaining on their feet had become an extremely difficult task.

The pyramid was located at the very center of the earthquake. After sensing this, Alyssa subconsciously wrapped both hands around Caelan’s arm.

"Lord Caelan, this... what exactly is going on?"

Faced with Alyssa’s somewhat urgent question, Caelan remained extremely calm.

He casually waved his hand and said,

"It’s nothing. I just casually undid a seal a moment ago. I didn’t expect it to cause such a huge commotion."

Casually undid a seal?

Alyssa froze slightly. Then, as if she had thought of something, her expression gradually turned horrified.

"Lord Caelan, the stone stele you just read... couldn’t have been a sealing stele, could it?"

Caelan looked at Alyssa in surprise, then nodded and said,

"That’s right. But how did you know? I only discovered that after I cut it."

At this moment, an extremely vivid expression appeared on Alyssa’s face.

"Lord Caelan, why don’t we retreat first?"
