Chapter 293 -293-The Pyramid, Boss Battle

The interior of the [Raise Undead] Instance was themed around black and cold colors.

The blood moon hanging in the sky emitted only a faint, dim halo of light.

As for the environment inside the [Raise Undead] Instance, the Awakeners who had entered it had long since grown used to it.

Yet what none of them expected was that at a certain moment, a blazing, dazzling red sun would suddenly rise from the ground, illuminating the entire [Raise Undead] as brightly as day!

"My god, what’s going on? Does the sun rise inside an Instance too?"

"Does the sun in your house stay on the horizon the whole time? It’s obvious some big shot is farming a boss!"

"Farming a boss? No way, right? You’re telling me a sun that huge is an Awakener’s skill? Impossible. Absolutely impossible!"

"Wait, did none of you notice that the place where the sun appeared is wrong?"

No one knew who said that, but in the next instant, many Awakeners turned their gazes directly toward the place where the little sun had erupted.

"If I remember correctly, that side doesn’t seem to be part of the Instance’s area, does it?"

"That’s right. I once tried heading in that direction before, because from a distance, you can see a ruined chapel there. But for some reason, every time I got close, I would be inexplicably moved somewhere else."

"So... could that be an undeveloped hidden area?"

"My god, did some big shot really find a hidden area? Looks like today, we might be witnessing history!"

...

On the second floor of the Ruined Chapel.

Caelan held Alyssa in one arm, protecting her behind him.

"The battles after this are already meaningless. So from now on, you don’t need to make a move."

After saying that, he snapped his fingers with one hand.

In the next moment, the [Archbishop Wraith] on the other side, along with those pitiful [Choir Wraiths], received true purification in an instant.

"Let’s keep moving!"

Caelan casually withdrew his longsword, while Alyssa beside him was still immersed in intense shock.

Originally, she had thought that the skill she released with the help of [Living Armor] was already powerful enough. But after witnessing Caelan use [Infinite Lightblade], she finally realized that her understanding of power was still far too shallow.

"All right. I’ll listen to you!"

...

Caelan and Alyssa completely explored the second floor of the Ruined Chapel.

After killing the [Archbishop Wraith], there were basically no powerful small monsters left on the entire second floor.

However, in the bishop’s living quarters on the second floor, Caelan discovered a strange teleportation array.

"Want to go in and take a look?"

Caelan smiled as he looked at Alyssa beside him.

A hint of hesitation appeared on Alyssa’s face. She was somewhat worried about Caelan’s safety, but it seemed... there was no need to worry at all.

Seeing that Alyssa was still struggling with the decision, Caelan simply stopped asking. He directly pulled Alyssa into the center of the Teleportation Array.

In the next moment, blue light flickered, and black and white rapidly shifted before their eyes.

When the environment before Caelan and Alyssa stabilized again, they were surprised to discover that they had arrived in front of an enormous pyramid.

Only this time, Caelan and Alyssa were not the only ones standing before the pyramid. Even more Awakeners had gathered here, continuously launching attacks against the pyramid.

In the sky, countless beams of skill light bombarded the surface of the pyramid again and again, making the scene look exceptionally dazzling.

Caelan calmly swept his gaze over the area. He soon noticed that the Awakeners here were all from various powerful legions. He even saw traces of the Ironclad Legion.

The one leading them seemed to be some uncle, but Caelan had only met him once before.

"Hurry up and think of a way to break through the pyramid! We’re already very close to obtaining the next stage of rewards!"

"Pick up the pace! Stonebrawn Legion is already ahead of us. Are you really willing to hand over this year’s top spot to them? Don’t forget, apart from the rewards given by the legion, the first-place team will also receive extra Instance rewards!"

"Brothers, put in more effort! Bring out everything you’ve got!"

...

Caelan was slightly stunned. He hadn’t expected that even farming an Instance would be this competitive.

All three great legions were present. Basically, all the top-tier human legions had sent elites here.

There were five pyramids in total, and right now, all of them had fallen into a state of being besieged.

Even so, these pyramids were not passively defending themselves. Instead, large numbers of undead were continuously pouring out from the various entrances and exits of the pyramids.

Mummies, undead spirits, dried corpses, wrathful souls...

At this moment, aside from certain special Eastern undead creatures, almost every commonly known type of undead appeared before their eyes!

Caelan narrowed his eyes and quickly continued forward with Alyssa.

Naturally, as they hurried along, they also attracted the attention of many undead.

However, these undead did not even get a chance to attack before their bodies were torn into pieces by countless sword beams.

Alyssa obediently leaned against Caelan’s back, but her eyes flickered with intense curiosity.

"You clearly haven’t drawn your longsword, so why can you still release sword beams?"

At the same time, Caelan and Alyssa’s high-profile actions instantly drew the attention of a large number of Awakeners.

They had originally been attacking the pyramid with all their strength, but when they looked up, they saw two figures fly straight into the interior of the pyramid.

"What are they trying to do? Do they have a death wish?"

"The pyramid hasn’t been cleared or purified yet. Even the powerful leaders wouldn’t dare rush inside recklessly, right?"

At this moment, the most dangerous place on the entire battlefield was undoubtedly the interior of the pyramid.

Because no one knew exactly how many undead were stored inside!

Inside the pyramid.

The pharaoh, who had just awakened, had already noticed Caelan and Alyssa.

It had been asleep for thousands of years, and its senses had become extremely dull. But even so, it could still feel the terrifying fluctuations of power coming from Caelan’s body.

"A powerful enemy... has invaded!"

In the next moment, the entire pyramid seemed to come alive!

The massive stone blocks on its surface split open from the middle in an instant.

Immediately afterward, large amounts of green smoke continuously poured out from those cracks.

The smoke carried an intense corrosive property. For a time, the human Awakeners did not dare approach at all!

The enormous pyramid was now completely shrouded in dark green smoke.

Just as the Awakeners were utterly confused and had no idea what the pyramid was trying to do...

In the next instant, a golden ray of light shot out, neither too high nor too low, aiming straight at Caelan and Alyssa’s position!
