Chapter 151: A Demigod’s Evaluation

Inside the world of the book, the moment Klein appeared in a secluded place outside the city, he immediately took out the remaining dark-red soil from before. Picking up a withered branch, he used the dowsing rod method to search for Tutanthis II’s mummy.

He was worried that the mummy, called the embodiment of curses, might harm the residents here. Although the book world did not lack Sequence 5 quasi-powerhouses, and although Tutanthis II’s mummy had lost the stimulation from Azik’s copper whistle and was now in a muddled state with little ability to act, it had been a half-human, half-god Beyonder while alive. The curse evolved from its corpse after death was certainly not simple. Even Klein himself would not have dared approach too closely without the curse-resistant golden bead Miss Sharron had given him.

Of course, Klein had weighed matters before deciding to use Groselle’s Travels to steal Tutanthis II’s mummy. His previous experiences and others’ encounters had all proven one thing: when outsiders entered the book world, they did not directly appear before the local residents. They had to explore before they could meet, especially the first time!

Therefore, Klein believed that Tutanthis II’s mummy should have been moved to some uninhabited place. Given the state of that living corpse, there was a high chance it would circle nearby, finding it difficult to autonomously explore in different directions like humans, elves, or giants.

In other words, as long as too much time did not pass, no real loss should be caused. And from when Klein smeared the blood-containing mud over the travelogue’s cover, only two or three minutes had gone by.

Following the direction indicated by the dowsing rod, Klein flew toward a nearby mountain peak. Soon, he saw a valley.

At that moment, Tutanthis II’s mummy appeared!

It was wrapped all over in yellow-brown bandages, stained with dark-red liquid, and wore a mask with a golden base and colored patterns over its face.

From its throat came sounds unlike anything human. It charged over in long strides, while the surrounding air dimmed.

At the same time, several incomplete animal corpses throughout the valley overturned the soil that covered them and, moving with difficulty, approached Klein.

Klein, whose spirit body was reinforced by Azik’s copper whistle, immediately gave a soft heh.

“How enthusiastic…”

Unhurried, he tossed away the withered branch and picked up a clump of deep-black matter.

This was the Requiemer Beyonder characteristic he had previously released from the mutated Creeping Hunger. Pure points of light lay at its core, making the whole thing resemble a night curtain studded with stars.

Invisible waves spread out with some difficulty. The surroundings abruptly darkened, as though night had descended all at once.

A quiet, peaceful feeling arrived together with specks of starlight. The several incomplete animal corpses first grew dazed, then fell down and returned to slumber.

Tutanthis II’s mummy likewise slowed its pace. Its movements became slower and slower, but it never lay back down.

“As expected, using a Beyonder characteristic directly does not produce an especially good effect, and the negative influence is not low either…”

Klein could not help raising his left hand and covering his mouth as he yawned.

He immediately made Creeping Hunger turn pale and acquire a slight sinister green tint, directly using the living corpse ability to control the deceased opposite him.

The overlap of the two Beyonder effects finally made Tutanthis II’s mummy quiet down.

With two black gemstones embedded in its eye sockets, it slowly arrived beside Klein and silently stood there, as though it were the most professional valet.

“What a pity about the curse…”

Klein immediately drew a golden bead from inside his own spirit body. It had an obvious ancient Highland Kingdom style and was deeply engraved with many blue-green patterns.

It came…
