Chapter 762 Deader than Dead

As the enhanced purgatory flames burned through the corrupted curse power, the highly detailed Wolf Head devoured the bits and pieces of the Undead Pharaoh's Curse that wasn't corrupted. There wasn't much neutral curse power, but it was enough to empower the Wolf Curse.

The Cursed Seals, active and inactive, shuddered violently as the curse power surged through the Wolf Curse. It swallowed the Undead Pharaoh's power, weakening him considerably.

In the meantime, the World Serpent continued paying attention to the Staff of Epos. The World Serpent continued draining the Ancient Artifact, ensuring that the Undead Pharaoh couldn't access it properly.

As more and more curse power entered the World Serpent, a third Serpent Seal began shimmering. Michael felt a sudden surge of power spread through him, but that didn't help him feel more alive. He still felt like his body was on the verge of tearing apart. It was a terrifying feeling and much worse than most of the things he'd gone through since his War Rune manifested.

Even Archangel's Grace was not enough to help him at this point. It was barely enough to keep him alive, with the serpent armor fixating his body parts where they belonged.

Michael swallowed hard, but his expression changed dramatically. He grasped the Aethyr Spear tightly and let his emotions lead him once more. The Undead Pharaoh had to be eliminated right now!

The Wicked Spear Arts' purple hue washed over Michael. Mots sparkling purple and golden shot in all directions, only for a suctioning force to pull them to the tip of the Aethyr Spear's blade.

His power surged, and he kicked the ground when he felt that the time was ripe. He lunged forward and shot through the golden Wolf Head, which split up into two large heads to make space for him. The Undead Pharaoh pinpointed Michael and released its Curse in a straight line at him. An eerie beam of greenish-dark power shot toward Michael, who lifted the Aethyr Spear in response.

He was barely fast enough to move and pierce the eerie cursed beam with the Aethyr Spear. The beam and blade tip collided, and the impact force pushed Michael to slow down. The corrupted curse power threatened to flood Michael as the Aethyr Spear managed to split the beam thanks to the WIcked Spear Arts' tremendous power.

An uncontrollable sensation of greed, the desire to kill, and fulfillment filled Michael to the brim; they joined Michael's chaos of feelings and enhanced the Wicked Spear Arts. But that was not all. Michael chose to add enhanced purgatory flames to coat the Aethyr Spear while also shrouding the blade's tip with Qi and several Enhancement Layers.

Michael's energy was sucked dry near-instantly, but he wasn't worried in the slightest. His spear burst through the eerie cursed beam, splitting in several parts while burning the corruption left within the curse power. The Undead Pharaoh didn't expect Michael's attack to grow this powerful. He also didn't expect to lose control of the Staff of Epos and that his curse power would be weakened to such an extent.

He underestimated Michael's Curses...as well as the youth's power.

Michael burst through the curse beam and appeared before the Undead Pharaoh, his eyes glowing vibrant golden. The last thing the Undead Pharaoh could see was a reflection of his bony skull and the azure flames flickering brightly where his eyes were supposed to be.

He gritted his teeth and pushed the Aethyr Spear deeper into the Undead Pharaoh's core. Their combined effort and the sudden increase in their attacks' intensity were enough. Their tactic worked.

The cracks spreading through the Undead Pharaoh's core spread further and dug deeper. It took one last push to shatter the Undead Core with a thunderous bang.

The Undead Pharaoh was about to be eliminated, but it wasn't done resisting yet. Bony spikes manifested all around Michael. They rotated around their axis with horrifying velocity and shot toward Michael with tiny explosions as the Undead Pharaoh's bony body collapsed.

The bony spikes pierced into Michael from everywhere, catching him by surprise. He hoped the serpent armor would be strong enough to block the bony spikes.

He didn't want to die.

[Consider this a thank you for the additional curse power. This was a tasty feat!] The World Serpent hissed quietly.

Suddenly, the serpent armor grew more resilient as the World Serpent used more of its power to reinforce it. The bony spikes that had managed to pierce the serpent armor before, their tips digging deep into Michael's body, were suddenly stopped.

A burst of greenish curse power erupted from the serpent armor, crushing the bony spikes.

They were ground to powder before they landed on the ground.

A moment later, Michael finally got the confirmation that the Undead Pharaoh was dead.

A gigantic energy influx flooded Michael.

It was stronger than any energy influx he'd ever received.

Unfortunately, Michael was not in a good condition. The energy influx smashed into him, nearly killing him on the spot.
