Chapter 317
317 – [Theatrical Version] Mission Start
“Thank you. I will use it well and return it to you.”
From noble mtl dot come
After I solved the problem at hand by borrowing Aisha’s smartphone, we waited for the start of the operation at the gravedigger clan’s safe house.
According to what Aisha informed me, the operation start time is 3 PM.
It is said that Set and his men’s power becomes stronger as the sun sets, so everything had to be finished by at least 7 PM.
“…”
Inside a house filled with strange silence.
While we each went about our business and did our personal maintenance, we didn’t even speak a word.
I was uncomfortable with that dead silence, so I took the initiative and spoke up first.
“It feels like people are going to die.”
Then Salman, who was polishing his crescent-shaped sword, opened his mouth.
“This operation is a dangerous mission in which it would not be surprising if anyone died during it.”
Abdul, who was sitting next to him, also added his words
“I wrote a will just in case. If I die, the village people will take care of my family.”
Wrong.
These people are the eyes of someone who has already prepared to die.
Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing, but they seemed to think that the chances of them coming back alive were very slim.
When I quietly closed my mouth as I had nothing to say, Mahes, who was listening to the story next to me, shook his head and opened his mouth.
[Do you really think that it is okay to sacrifice your life for the greater good?]
Then Salman shook his head.
“No, that’s not true, but when you think about it realistically… “
[You idiots!!]
At Mahes’ thunderous shout, Salman’s face, which had been expressionless the whole time, became agitated for the first time.
Anyway, Mahes gave a long speech with his hands on his hips.
[You should think about surviving tenaciously and enjoying life in heaven, but do you think about dying before you even dare to fight?! Those guys are not qualified to fight under me in the first place!]
Salman and Abdul hurriedly knelt down at Mahes’ displeased command.
“I’m sorry! Pharaoh! Please allow me to participate in the temple!”
“If I go home like this, I won’t have the honor of seeing my family!”
Despite the two people’s desperation, Mahes seemed to have no intention of letting go of his anger.
As the situation unfolded, Aisha, who was coordinating schedules with the Illuminati shamans in real time, knelt down next to them and bowed her head.
“I’m sorry, Pharaoh. They probably didn’t say those words with the intention of dying. It was probably just a metaphor for their determination before the battle. There are creatures in this world who treat their lives like stubble. Where could it be?”
[Hmm.]
Mahes’ expression softened a little due to Aisha’s desperate persuasion of hers, but it seemed like the final blow was still lacking.
At that moment, Ryuji, who was quietly watching the situation, spoke up.
“Stop it, Mahes. If you’re really that worried, you can end this fight quickly.”
[What? I said that because I was worried… No, I understand. Ryuji, I will do as you say.]
Mahes appeared to agree and told the three people kneeling on her floor to get up, and she finished by warning them not to do that again.
When Mahes went outside through the ceiling to get some fresh air, Aisha stood up and bowed her head to Ryuji.
“Thank you for your help, benefactor.”
“No, no, we are going to fight together from now on, so I just didn’t want the atmosphere to get sour over something like this.”
“I just explained this to Pharaoh, but they are not going into this fight to die. They just want to prove their resolve in front of Pharaoh.”
As I was listening to the two people talking, I spoke with a puzzled expression.
“I’m sorry. I said something pointless.”
“No, it’s better. This makes them both realize that if they die in this battle, they won’t be able to go to the underworld comfortably. The Pharaoh will definitely bother them a lot.”
I naturally laughed as I naturally saw Mahes with his arms crossed trying to make fun of the two dead people.
“It certainly seems like it.”
There were many twists and turns, but it was when I breathed a sigh of relief that the atmosphere was much softer than the first time.
Kwa Bang!!
Suddenly, an explosion was heard in the quiet city, and it may have been a signal, but explosions began to occur one after another throughout Cairo.
As I froze at the shocking sight outside the window, Mahes hurriedly came down through the roof and asked Aisha.
[What’s going on? I don’t think it’s time for the operation yet.]
Then, Aisha glanced at the brightly lit laptop screen and said with a wry smile.
“It looks like the start time of the operation has been brought forward a bit due to the energetic shamans.”
As she said, the clock on the laptop screen showed exactly 2:30.

[Areas near Cairo]
“Hey! Who on earth started first?!”
“I don’t know either!”
Although there were still 30 minutes left until the promised 3 o’clock, while the shamans were shaken by the sudden start of the attack on Cairo, the warriors of the sun with different status systems began to rush towards Cairo.
“Advance!”
“Help Pharaoh drive out Set!”
What did the shamans look like in confusion? In the meantime, we were running together along with the Warriors of the Sun, and before we knew it, everyone was running towards Cairo.
Of course, many of them thought, ‘Is this okay?’, But they couldn’t stop the gears that had already started turning with their own personal power.
‘I don’t know, it will work out somehow.’
In the end, when the thoughts came to a conclusion like this, there was no way to stop their rampage.
Same time,
[Inside Cairo]
A white man with blond hair was holding the shoulder of a woman with brown skin and red hair and urging her.
“Are you crazy?! There are still 30 minutes left until the operation begins!”
“Fuck! Then you just want to watch people die?!”
“That’s not what I’m talking about! Even if it means killing me, there’s a quieter way…!”
“It’s already too late anyway! The damn mummies will have already figured out where we are!”
Just as the woman said, Set’s soldiers could be seen walking in line with each other from a distance, and the ordinary citizens who saw this were distraught and ran away.
“Ugh! I can’t help it!”
As the man quickly gave up and created a whirlpool with both hands, the woman grinned and created flames with both hands just like the man.
“That’s how I behave as my husband.”
“Shut up! I’m not doing this because I like it!”
As the two men began to go on a rampage, destroying the army of mummies at random, the fight inside Cairo intensified in earnest.
***
As huge explosions occurred throughout the city of Cairo, Set, who was sitting on the throne at the top of the pyramid and looking down at the ground, spoke.
“Sebek.”
“Yes.”
When the man with the tattooed face sticking out from the shadow of the throne answered that, Set said with a sour expression.
“It appears that there has been a disturbance on the ground. You must go and understand the situation yourself and eliminate the subversive elements.”
“Ha!”
When Sebek bowed his head and answered with a short cheer before disappearing, Set rhythmically tapped the handle of the throne with his index finger and called out another name.
“Mark.”
“Yes.”
As another man emerged from the shadow of the throne and prostrated himself, Set raised his hand and pointed beyond the horizon.
“The sun warriors are coming here. You go and deal with them.”
“As you wish.”
As the man who answered that disappeared into the shadows again, Set slowly stood up.
Thanks to his power, which covered the sky with the sand wind, the dark Cairo city, even in broad daylight, was the best place to operate for him and his subordinates, who were resurrected from the underworld by the power of Apep.
‘But I have no intention of being satisfied here.’
Set, who was an ordinary human in his lifetime, knows the abundance that the sun provides.
And in order to enjoy that abundance again, he had to overcome sunlight, which is the grace of La, despite being a being of the list.
‘I need you for that. ■■S.’
A being who is both his nemesis and symmetry
By eating his soul, which was filled with the energy of the sun, Set was finally able to overcome sunlight and become a complete living being.
He saw a ‘spirit shining like the sun’running straight towards him in the distance, and a sneer appeared on his lips, and for a moment he could not believe his eyes.
‘Hmm?’
That’s because the light, which was thought to be one, suddenly split into two.
‘Hmm?’
***
[Hitch!]
“Hitch!”
Ryuji asked in bewilderment when he saw me and Mahes sneezing at the same time.
“Can even ghosts catch colds these days?”
“I don’t know either.”
It was truly a mystery.
