Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 246 Pharaoh's Source, Star Sea Celestial Vein!

Upon hearing the words "Dark Sword Master," Advisor Fenner's face instantly darkened!
Her eyes widened, and she stood up abruptly, saying:

"Are you sure? What's your source?"

Lu Ran raised an eyebrow and took out a contract: "This contract should prove that I am not lying."

Seeing that the other party was prepared, Fenner believed it completely.

With a monarch-level Dark Sword Master stationed at the pyramid under the projection of Nether Radiance, the level and difficulty of this battle will far exceed her expectations!
If we advance rashly, we risk losing the lives of many soldiers!

Finner felt that this piece of information alone was extremely valuable.

In that instant, she felt that Lu Ran's proposed resource plan wasn't so unacceptable after all.

“I’ll sign this contract!” Fenner said, narrowing his eyes.

"Great! The staff should try to prepare as many resources as possible!"

After Lu Ran finished speaking, he turned and left the Fenner camp.

Night falls, and the silhouette of the Habo Pyramid looms in the distance.

Countless Egyptian spirits crawled in the shadows under the dim light, relentlessly advancing towards the city of Pushini.

Unlike the Kyushu spirits, the Egyptian spirits can only move under the glow of the underworld, while the Kyushu spirits can only move at night.

Lu Ran directly summoned the Abyss of Fiends, and a large number of red and white skeletons crawled out, led by the Grand Monarch-level Red Skull Demon Lord!

He only needed to test his skills with a pyramid phantom, and didn't even need to summon a large army of undead!
Therefore, Lu Ran didn't take this matter to heart at all and directly ordered the Red Skull Demon Lord to lead the army to devour all the Egyptian undead in the Pyramid Shadow Zone!
Even a monarch-level Dark Sword Master is no match for a Grand Monarch-level Red Skull Demon Lord.

What's more, there is also an undead army of unknown numbers pouring out from the Abyss of Evil!
The war in the underworld: devouring the enemy, using war to fuel war!

Several hours later, dawn broke.

Someone in the Egyptian military camp outside Pushini reported this news!

"Advisor, advisor! The phantom of the Habo Pyramid has vanished, and all the spirits in that area are gone, completely gone!!"

Without a second thought, Fenner burst out of the tent!
She suddenly soared high into the air, her gaze fixed on the spot where the pyramid's illusory form had been.

Sure enough, the pyramid phantoms vanished without a trace, and the mummy figures also disappeared!

"How is this possible? How did he do that?! I didn't even sense the slightest hint of battle, this is impossible!"

Fenner snapped out of his daze and quickly dispatched his men to investigate.

At the same time, she was incredibly excited!
If Lu Ran truly possesses the ability to reliably dispel the pyramid's illusory form, then she could potentially establish a long-term partnership with him!
She provided the funding, and Lu Ran provided the labor.

After her meteoric rise to prominence, she naturally received Lu Ran's resources!
At this moment, Fenner was incredibly excited!
Half a day later.

Lu Ran played with the Pharaoh's Spring that the Red Skull Demon Lord had given him, raising an eyebrow slightly.

I never expected that just by destroying a pyramid phantom and devouring the Egyptian undead in that area, I would get a treasure?
In the original story, the Egyptian national team relied on this treasure to continuously summon undead, and only by using the undead sea tactic was they able to defeat the British team and enter the finals.

Suddenly, Lu Ran noticed Fenna rushing toward him and gave a sinister smile.

"Lu Ran, how did you do that? Do you have a legion of mages stationed outside Pushini?" Fenner asked, his eyes wide with disbelief and abandoning all decorum. "And the pyramid phantom disappeared without making a sound! It's unbelievable!"

To erase the pyramid phantom, it must require very powerful magic, right?
As a high-level mage, Fenner should have been able to detect the magical aura.

Lu Ran chuckled twice. He summoned Sha Yuan and pulled the illusory image of the Habo Pyramid into the Underworld battlefield, so that the outside world would not know what was going on.

Once everything had settled down, the Egyptian scouts discovered the anomaly of the pyramid phantoms: their mysterious and sudden disappearance!
Lu Ran poured Fenner a glass of water and smiled:
"Staff member, stay calm. All you need to know is that I am the one who can help you reach the pinnacle of power."

"This time, we resolved the illusion of the Habo Pyramid without firing a single shot. I suppose you can make a big deal out of this?"

Fenna's eyes flickered; she and Lu Ran were thinking the same thing!
She was a firsthand witness, and the rhetoric used to promote the story was that all it took was to erase the illusion of the Habo Pyramid at a minimal cost.

In that case, she will gain tremendous credit!

Compared to that, the resources Lu Ran demanded were not enough to seriously damage her!
"Advisor, before leaving Egypt, I hope to see the Star Sea Celestial Vein!" Lu Ran said quietly.

Fenner frowned, but then he thought of Lu Ran's mysterious nature and the army hidden behind him.
Fenner nodded and said, "Okay, give me three days. I will mobilize all resources to help you obtain the Star Sea Celestial Vein, but the magic stone mine cannot be raised so quickly."

Lu Ran was not surprised. He gave Fenna an address, which was Asuka City, and told her to secretly send a trusted confidant to deliver the goods there.

Fenner raised an eyebrow; she saw ambition in Lu Ran's behavior!
However, she, who also aspired to climb higher, was very satisfied with this.

The entire Kyushu National Government team was stunned.

The Egyptian army was also stunned.

Wasn't it agreed that they would be tasked with conquering the Pyramid Phantom and dealing with the Poison Gold Mummy?
How could it be that not only did the dead disappear overnight, but even the phantom of the pyramid vanished?

It wasn't until Fenner revealed that she and her confidants had secretly destroyed the pyramid illusion with minimal losses.
Everyone was utterly bewildered and deeply shocked!
After this battle, Staff Officer Finner's reputation soared.
Three days later, Lu Ran met with Fenner again.

In his palm appeared a dazzling gem the size of a goose egg, shimmering with a star-like brilliance—the Star Sea Celestial Vein!
The energy it contains far surpasses that of the galaxy's veins!

"You got promoted?" Lu Ran asked with a smile.

Fenner smiled and nodded, letting out a sigh of relief, but at the same time his brow furrowed slightly. He said, "The military has transferred me to the capital, Cairo, but I will also be facing an even more powerful pyramid."

Lu Ran understood the implied meaning and smiled:
"Looking forward to the next collaboration."

Fenna looked excited; she knew Lu Ran still had tricks up his sleeve!

He is simply an angel!

If I were younger
I wonder if Lu Ran likes a beautiful woman of her age?
Lu Ran, having understood Fenner's inner thoughts, felt a chill run down his spine.

I'm helping you, and you still want to take advantage of a young girl?
The National Team departs for Venice.

Lu Ran kept his promise and took Ye Xinxia with him to participate in the World University Competition.

As for who in the team will be eliminated, he has already made a decision!
One healing mage is enough for the team!
In other words, with the Nanrong family, which is backed by the Mu family, Nanrong Ni can get out of here!

"Go, bring Mu Tingying here. I'll give her a chance to pledge her allegiance," Lu Ran said coldly to Jiuyou Hou, who was floating over with Sha Yuan.
