Chapter 147: Bastet, the Sun-Kissed Pharaoh
<Bastet, the Sun-Kissed Pharaoh - Level 20>
Despite only being two levels higher than the Royal Guards, her presence was overwhelming. A true ruler. A living embodiment of the desert’s might.
Kaiden barely had time to process her sight before she moved.
With a graceful motion, she raised a single hand. A sun disk above her head pulsed with golden light, and a burning beam of solar energy lashed out at them, forcing the entire team to scatter before it could incinerate them where they stood. The stone floor melted in its path.
The pyramid shifted. The grand chamber warped, expanding into an endless golden desert. The only things that remained were Bastet, her radiant throne, and the scorching sun looming above. There was no escape.
"This is her domain..." Vaelira muttered.
The monster spoke.
"You dare slay my Royal Guard... and think you will walk free?" Her voice was both serene and deadly, like silk wrapped around a dagger. "By my right as Queen of the Desert, I, Bastet the Sun-Kissed Pharaoh, sentence you to death."
Vaelira reacted first. With a flick of her wand, she unleashed [Summon Grand Phantom Court].
A horde of spectral warriors materialized beside them, a mighty legion of knights, assassins, and warlocks formed from her immense mana expenditure.
Bastet countered immediately.
With a whisper in an ancient tongue, the spirits of long-dead warriors rose from the sands, forming her Ancestral Army. The two spectral forces clashed in a full-scale war.
