When the mummy leader fully healed, it didn''t attack right away.


    Instead, it looked right at me and asked, "Why? Why did you do this?"


    I was surprised by this since I thought that it should be clear why I did this, but then I saw Long Shui Ling wave her hand as if she was doing something.


    I realized that she hadn''t released the illusion until now since I hadn''t given the order to do so. She only just released it now because it didn''t feel like there was a point in keeping it up anymore.


    Once it was released, the mummy leader revealed a shocked look as it saw my transformation.


    "You, you, you were a human all along?" The mummy leader said in a shocked voice.


    I slowly gave a nod, as if I was stalling for time.


    The mummy leader didn''t notice at all as it just feltpletely shocked by this.


    After a moment of silence, it suddenly said, "But I could feel it, the energy of the lord. It''s stilling from you even now!"


    When my group heard this, they couldn''t help looking at me with a strange look.


    I just ignored this as I said, "That''s why it was so easy to fool you."

    The mummy leader revealed an angry look when it heard this, but it still didn''t attack.


    It almost seemed like it was stalling for time…


    I quickly realized what was happening and didn''t wait any longer to give my orders.


    Earlier, I had been stalling since I wanted to buy time for Tie Gang and the others to take down the pharaoh mummy while I kept this mummy leader busy.


    But when the mummy leader also tried to stall, I knew that this wouldn''t work.


    That was because I could see that the dark energy around the mummy was getting thicker.


    It was stalling to recover its powers.


    The more that it stalled, the stronger it would be.


    Compared to waiting for Tie Gang and the others toe to help, it was better if we just took down the mummy leader while it was still in a weakened state.


    So I decided that it was better to attack the mummy leader while we could.


    With a nod, there were ck mes that suddenly appeared in the air around the mummy leader.


    The mummy leader could feel the heat that came from the ck mes.


    Perhaps it wouldn''t need to be as worried if it was in a normal state, with the ck energy to protect it. But now that it was in this weakened state, it wouldn''t be able to block these ck mes if it were to take a hit head on.


    So the only thing that this mummy leader could do was…


    Instead of dodging backwards to avoid the mes, the mummy leader actually charged right at the ck mes in front of it.


    Kaito was caught off guard when he saw this, but he didn''t hesitate to bring the mes down on the mummy leader.


    The ck mes formed arge wall in front of the mummy leader and seemed like they would engulf the mummy leader. But before the ck mes could do that, the mummy leader suddenly raised the hand with the ck orb in front of it.


    That ck energy orb seemed to surge for a second before suddenly bingrger in the mummy leader''s hand.


    That ck energy orb was what met the mes.


    Instead of being burnt away by those ck mes as one would expect, the ck mes were actually pushed back by that ck energy orb.


    Then all of a sudden, there was arge gap that was formed in the ck me wall as the mummy leader roared, "Get out of my way!"


    The ck mes werepletely scattered and a path was created for the mummy leader right to us.


    The mummy leader didn''t hesitate to charge right at us after creating that gap in the ck me wall.


    As it charged at us, the mummy leader shouted, "You traitor! This is what you''ll get!"


    But even seeing the mummy leader charging at us, we didn''t panic.


    That was because there were more mes that appeared around us as ze stepped forward.


    This time, the mes weren''t ck mes, but normal orange mes.


    But these mes seemed even more intense than the ck mes.


    With a roar, ze swung his sword down at the mummy leader, causing the mes around him to fall down on the mummy leader.


    The mummy leader didn''t panic as it raised the same hand with the ck energy orb towards the mes that fell towards it. The ck energy orb surged once more as it gathered the dark energy around the mummy leader.


    This was how it had blown a hole in the ck me wall in the first ce.


    It had gathered all of its dark energy in a single point to push back the ck mes in front of it.


    It was doing the same thing now to push back ze''s mes.


    As it raised its hand, the mummy leader shouted, "You think that you can stop me with just this?"


    But ze didn''t take a single step back.


    That was because there were ck mes that also appeared in the center of his mes.


    Kaito was standing beside ze with a hand up, generating those ck mes that appeared.


    The two kinds of mes twisted together and formed a single wall of mes that fell down on the mummy leader.


    The two sides shed and there was a moment of equilibrium before the mummy leader was pushed back. However, at the same time, the me wall that had been gathered also scattered.


    It seemed like they had been even.


    The mummy leader narrowed its eyes to look at us before saying, "You think that you can stop me with just this?"


    I revealed a faint smile and shook my head before turning to look at Long Shui Ling beside me.


    She dropped the bottle that she had been holding and said, "I''m ready."


    I gave a nod before turning back to look at the mummy leader.
