Full-time Mage: Heavy Water Returns to the World

……

"At once……"

That's it?

Han Li asked curiously. She thought it would be a big show, but it only lasted half a minute. She thought at least some undead would come out and attack!

Tavi understood Han Li's meaning and explained, "We only removed the root cause of this undead riot; we didn't solve the problem at its root."

"Then how can we solve this completely?"

Upon hearing this, Tavi did not answer directly, but instead looked at the enormous pharaoh's coffin: "What do you think is inside?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the Pharaoh's coffin, and Zu Xiangtian said bluntly, "What else could it be but the Pharaoh's corpse?"

“There’s nothing there.” Tavi shook her head.

Everyone was startled.

"If we really have to say, it's not that there's nothing at all. The Pharaoh's Coffin itself can be considered a top-tier defensive magical artifact, providing almost complete resistance to conventional super-tier attacks."

"But its true function is to continuously breed curses and resentment. When it reaches a certain threshold of intensity, it will connect to the forbidden realm of discriminatory thoughts, open the gates of the underworld, and unleash a riot of the dead."

At this moment, Nan Yi spoke up.

"But wasn't it said before that there was no undead uprising in the early stages? Does that mean there was no Pharaoh's Coffin in the early stages?"

Nan Yi keenly grasped this point.

"The Pharaoh's coffin has always been here, but it has become the source of unrest among the dead since some unknown time. Perhaps it is also related to the underworld, but no one knows the reason or origin."

Everyone looked like they had learned something new, and then Tavi looked at the usually silent Seth and smiled.

"However, perhaps the truth will be revealed in the near future. Seth is one of the top three most talented people in their family's history, and he is the most likely person to solve the mystery of the Pharaoh."

Many people were surprised. They could see that Seth was no ordinary person. Regardless of his combat ability, his understanding of the Valley of the Kings and his solutions to various traps were truly admirable. They just didn't expect Seth to be so talented.

Many people decided to go back and inquire about the family in private.

Seth remained expressionless and silent.

"Is there anything else? If not, we'd like to leave," Mao Xianyi said.

Tavi shook her head.

"Everyone, prepare to evacuate."

……

at the same time.

The main battlefield of Emperor Valley.

The undead tide has come in countless waves; all that is known is that wounded soldiers are being sent back in batches, while new waves of mages and hunters are joining the battle.

However, while ordinary mages can be continuously replenished and replaced, there is no way that any high-ranking mage can step up to withstand the onslaught of commander-level undead.

Within the Valley of the Kings, where the corpses of the dead are piled high, a dazzling and thunderous lightning constellation stands tall in the sky. Even with the yellow sand covering the sky and the scorching sun shining so brightly that one cannot open their eyes, it is still difficult to conceal the brilliance of the lightning.

"Boom!"

"Silent Thunder Death Ray!"

"Thunder Arm!"

Soy shouted, his gaze sharp as he stared intently at the bone shield mummy commander, which stood dozens of meters tall. That jade-like, chilling bone shield had been stained with countless drops of blood and was the nightmare of many.

Even high-level mages were injured.

The next instant, the lightning arm swung out. In just a moment, the deep purple lightning arc that had gathered on the entire arm, carrying immense lightning pressure, shot towards the white jade bone shield!

"Oh!"

The deafening roar was deafening, and the immense force of the recoil sent the opponent staggering back several steps. Fine cracks appeared, then widened, until finally, it shattered with a crash.

But the Death Ray Arm did not stop there; it continued forward, striking the Bone Shield Mummy's chest directly and completely shattering its balance!
The giant fell to the ground, causing the earth to shake violently and stirring up a cloud of flying sand.

"Well done!" A colleague nearby breathed a sigh of relief.

But Soy did not relax.

His face was pale. He had exhausted a lot of magical energy and mental strength from the long battle. That high-level magic attack was almost his last all-out attack.

He didn't think he could take down the Bone Shield Mummy in one move. Compared to the three-headed commander-level undead they had already killed together, the Bone Shield Mummy was arguably the most troublesome opponent.

He couldn't help but think of the people from the Imperial Palace who had entered the Valley of the Kings, wondering how they were doing now, and whether they had reached the Pharaoh's tomb.

If the root cause of the unrest is not addressed, the undead will continue to crawl out of the earth endlessly.

Soy was panting heavily. The dust in front of him gradually dispersed, revealing the blurry figure of the giant shield mummy. Then, the earth trembled beneath his feet, and the giant shield mummy stood up again, casually brushing away the yellow sand.

The charred lightning marks were etched on the bone shield mummy's chest, slightly dented, but it was clear that the mummy was not seriously injured; instead, it had only fueled its rage.

Soy gave a bitter smile, his body surging with energy, and a wing of wind unfolded.

His lightning magic was exhausted, and now he only hoped to entangle the bone shield mummy a little longer to buy time for the others and for the National Guard.

However, it's unclear how long he can hold on.

Seven stars linked together in a star orbit. A lightning seal was thrown out by Soi, hitting the bone shield mummy without causing a ripple, but it revealed to the mummy who the lightning arm had belonged to.

The mummy's empty eye sockets instantly locked onto his location, and with a large step closer, the distance between them shrank by half in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Soi flapped its wings and dodged, and another lightning bolt exploded to the side.

It doesn't hurt or itch, but it's provocative enough.

"Roar!!!"

“My lord, Military Intelligence Bureau…” In the distance, the adjutant looked sadly at his superior.

Four of their high-ranking mages have been severely injured, and one has even been completely destroyed, devoured by the undead.

They all fought to the very end, exhausting all their magical energy to prolong the battle.

Now, it's Soi's turn.

As it turned out, the Bone Shield Mummy was far beyond the capabilities of ordinary high-level mages. In just a few breaths, Zoe was forced to surrender his shield magic tool.

Despite its massive, mountain-like size, the Bone Shield Mummy possesses a surprisingly fast burst of speed and even an astonishing combat awareness.

Whenever Soi pulls away slightly, it moves a little closer to the battlefield of the low-level mages, forcing Soi to come back. The other military commanders are helpless; they can't spare more energy to deal with the bone shield mummy, otherwise the battlefield will only become more chaotic.

Suddenly, all the spirits froze, their already empty eyes becoming even more lifeless, like rootless duckweed.

Soi was taken aback, then his face lit up with joy, and he was overjoyed.

"It's them! They succeeded!"

Not only Zoe, nor just the military, but even experienced hunters reacted and became extremely excited, their previously slow release speed increasing even further.

"It's done!!!"
