Chapter 308
308 – [Theatrical Version] The Man in the Sarcophagus
Egypt!
One of the oldest countries on Earth, with thousands of years of history!
And here and now!
The evil that was sealed so long ago by a nameless pharaoh and his warriors is about to awaken!
***
“Finally! I finally found it!”
In pitch black darkness without a single ray of light.
The old man smiled with joy as he watched the workers continuing their excavation work, relying on the dim light of the lamp.
That’s because the old man found the ‘sarcophagus’, the object he had been searching for for half his life, in a secret temple hidden in the deepest part of the Valley of the Kings.
‘Last time I was interrupted by something I didn’t mention, but this time it’s different.’
As if he were the reincarnation of his predecessor, Mahes, the Japanese high school student who instantly defeated the foreign bodyguard he had hired rescued his family who had been taken hostage and then leisurely escaped from the tomb of the nameless pharaoh. ＞
Thanks to this, he was unable to fulfill his ancestors’ wishes and nearly died in a sandstorm, but fortunately he was still alive.
This is probably because we have the blessings of our ancestors.
“Ah… This is from the legend… “
He swept the surface of the sarcophagus with eyes filled with emotion.
Then the pile of dirt disappeared, revealing the text hidden underneath, written in hieroglyphs used in ancient Egypt.
“Absolute evil is sealed in this coffin. If a later person discovers this coffin, immediately bury it in the ground and forget the whole story. If we don’t, the world will come to an end.”
“Haha, did you think I would be this scared?”
The old man muttered that and took out the papyrus paper that had been carefully kept in the family for generations.
It was originally called the Book of the Dead, but what was unique about this item was that it was a rubbing of what was said to be the original copy of all the Book of the Dead.
Therefore, it contained the battle between the warriors of the sun and the clan of darkness that took place thousands of years ago and the method of resurrecting the god they served.
After calming down his excitement, he gathered the workers working around him around the sarcophagus.
Then the workers gathered in front of him with puzzled expressions.
A few people who noticed something suspicious had already run away, but they probably didn’t get far.
This is because the entrance to this secret temple is guarded by mercenaries he hired.
After confirming that all about 30 workers had gathered, he gestured to the mercenaries standing behind him.
Then, the mercenaries began showering bullets on the workers who were defenseless with their backs exposed in front of them.
“@!#%#!”
“@^#$!*!”
Workers running here and there, saying something in Egypt.
However, there was no place to escape to in this secret temple located 500 meters below ground.
The only exit was the narrow passage they entered, but it was already heavily guarded by mercenaries.
As all the workers fell down bleeding, he gave orders to the mercenaries.
“Collect the bodies and pile them on the altar in front of the sarcophagus.”
Then the mercenaries began piling the corpses of the workers on the round plate-shaped altar under the sarcophagus, and the number reached as many as 26.
As the blood flowing from the corpse began to wet the altar, the symbol of a large snake engraved on the plate gradually began to reveal itself.
Anyone who is familiar with Egyptian mythology would probably have said this when they saw the snake in the plate.
‘Apophis’
The only opponent of the sun god Ra.
A snake that is reborn every day.
Because of these characteristics, snakes were considered a symbol of resurrection and healing in ancient Egypt.
And here and now, Apophis was the most important symbol in the resurrection ritual that the old man was trying to perform.
He opened the Book of the Dead in front of an altar piled with corpses and began reading the hieroglyphs in ancient Egyptian.
『Osiris, the great and great god of the underworld! I offer here the blood and flesh of 42 judges, so please take my master out of the abyss of Duat!』
Then, the red blood that had accumulated in the altar vessel began to slowly gush upward.
From noble mtl dot come
It looks like a large poisonous snake.
Seeing this amazing sight, one of the mercenaries standing behind the old man opened his mouth involuntarily.
And that became the last scene in this world he remembered.
Kwasik!
When the mercenaries saw their colleague’s body falling to the ground, his head his being swallowed by a snake made of blood, they were frightened and started shooting.
“You b*stard! You betrayed me!”
When the angry mercenaries started shooting at the old man standing in front of the altar, the old man huffed and hid behind cover.
Meanwhile, the snakes made of blood began chewing and devouring the sacrifices standing in front of them one by one, and finally, after the last person had become a blood sacrifice, silence fell inside the secret temple.
“Heh, heh! Haha!”
The old man who survived to the very end laughed as if he had lost his mind as he saw the tragedy unfolding before his eyes.
“You arrogant mercenaries! They tried to extort more money and they looked bad!”
He staggered to his feet, kicked the headless body of the mercenary leader, and began reading the Book of the Dead again.
『Resurrect! Guardian god of the desert, strangers, and sandstorms! Resurrect! God of darkness and war, the sea and typhoons!』
The altar vessel begins to gradually fill up by absorbing the blood of the mercenaries.
Eventually, when the bowl was filled with blood, an abnormal phenomenon occurred.
Damn it!
There was a crack in the surface of the tightly closed sarcophagus.
The old man watched the scene and shouted his last spell with eyes filled with madness.
『Devore the false sun in the sky, and bring chaos and destruction to the world!』
At that very moment,
Yes!
The lid of the tightly closed sarcophagus broke, and something inside jumped up.
Its identity her she was a mummy.
A shabby mummy whose body had lost all moisture and was dried out and twisted.
The grave goods that must have been buried together with him disappeared into dust over time, but the dog-head-shaped helmet that was placed on his head and he was still intact.
Eventually, Mira, who had closed her eyes, suddenly opened them.
“…”
Mira, who looked around her in silence, noticed a shabby old man bowing in front of her and asked in a solemn voice.
[How much time has passed since I died?]
Then the old man answered, bowing his head as much as possible, like a servant standing in front of a king.
“Thousands of years have already passed since my master’s final battle with the Sun Warriors!”
[I see.]
Mira muttered and looked down at the mountain of her corpse raised in front of her.
Then, at that moment, something surprising happened.
The blood in her vessel began to wriggle and rise into the sky, and then be sucked into Mira’s body her her her her.
“Oh…!”
The old man looked at the sight with awe, but Mira paid no attention and was only focused on absorbing her blood.
Eventually, the mummy’s body began to change after she absorbed all of the blood that had accumulated in her dish.
As if rewinding time, her parched skin began to come to life, and her black hair began to grow one by one from her her bare skull her her her.
Eventually, when all the changes were over, Mira had turned into a man with a strong physique.
[Whoa… ]
The naked man quietly took a breath.
[I don’t know if this is the first air I’ve breathed in this world.]
The man who came down to the ground mumbling like that asked the gaunt-looking old man bowing before him.
[Are you a descendant of my clan?]
Then the old man put his head on the ground and said.
“That’s right! Master! Since you were caught up in the tricks of the wicked Sun Warriors and were sealed in the list, our clan has been persecuted in the dark corners of history for a very long time!”
[Yes, you had a lot of trouble.]
The man said so and held out his right hand.
“Yes!”
Then the old man held the man’s hand with an expression of great emotion, and when the old man stood up, the man spoke in a calm tone.
[From now on, leave everything to me.]
Phew!
“… Huh?”
The old man, who was looking at the man with joyful eyes while picturing a hopeful future ahead, focused on the man’s left hand as if he had witnessed something unbelievable.
It was clearly his heart that was beating vigorously in his hand
He felt that his mind could not keep up with the sudden situation, so he naturally stretched out his hand towards his heart.
“Lord, master, turn…” ” “
[I’m sorry, but I can’t do that.]
But the man was adamant.
He spoke while chewing the heart he was holding in his left hand with a calm expression.
[A world thousands of years have passed since I was alive… It’s interesting, but you can’t learn new knowledge from beginning to end.]
Shake it off!
As the old man who lost his heart collapsed helplessly, the man who ate the rest of his heart looked down at the altar where there was no one else but him and spoke in an excited voice.
“Great gods of Abydos! Great Ra in the sky! I have returned!”
Then he spread his arms and shouted.
“This battle god Set! He crawled up from the bottom of Amut to take revenge on the sun warriors who killed me!”
***
Absolute evil that has transcended thousands of years and has been resurrected in modern times.
Full body, set.
Coincidentally, the wheel of fate was already turning when the descendants of the warrior of the sun who killed him thousands of years ago were flying back to Egypt.
