“Mo Fan, how did you recover so quickly? You looked like you were on the brink of death just a moment ago!” Meos was shocked to see Mo Fan already in good shape.

The others were injured from the fighting, too. They had yet to fully recover, but Mo Fan was already vigorous and lively. They began to wonder if his blood was mixed with the blood of some demon creatures!

“By the way, did you loot the Dark Swordmaster’s remains while I was unconscious?” Mo Fan remembered abruptly.

Mo Fan was obviously not going to believe that a Ruler-level creature did not drop anything useful!

“Still thinking about money at a time like this! We weren’t that lucky. There’s nothing valuable apart from its corpse. Sayed did take its Soul Remnant,” Meos informed him.

“You...you took so many of my Soul Essences, so what if I took the Ruler-level Soul Remnant? Don’t...don’t force me!” Sayed exclaimed, pointing at Mo Fan, immediately on his guard.

“Are you sure it was a Soul Remnant, not a Soul Essence?” Mo Fan asked deliberately.

A Ruler-level Soul Remnant was somewhat valuable, but it was nowhere close to the value of a Soul Essence. If it was a Ruler-level Soul Essence, even a bunch of Super Mages would fight one another for it!

“Anyway... I’m not going to back away this time. I’ve already refined it, so you won’t be able to take it away from me!” Sayed said.

“Look at you. Forget it; if it’s just a Soul Remnant, you can take it to compensation for your loss,” Mo Fan smiled. He could not be bothered arguing with Sayed over a Soul Remnant.

A Ruler-level Soul Remnant was not as valuable as the Soul Essences he had taken from Sayed. Besides, he and Mu Bai had secretly claimed all the energy from the Huntsman Spiders in the Pyramid. It was the most valuable loot they had gotten from the adventure. The was no reason for Mo Fan to waste his time on trivial matters. After all, the Soul Remnant was not that useful to him!

Sayed let out a relieved sigh after hearing Mo Fan’s response. The Ruler-level Soul Remnant might not be important to Mo Fan, but it was very important to him!

His Death Saber Mummy was of the same species as the Dark Swordmaster. A Ruler-level Soul Remnant might not be sold at a high price in the market, but it was out of stock at all times, not to mention that the Soul Remnant was perfectly compatible with his Death Saber Mummy!

In Sayed’s opinion, the Ruler-level Soul Remnant was more useful than the Commander-level Soul Essences he had lost. Therefore, he boldly took the Ruler-level Soul Remnant while Mo Fan was unconscious. He was, however, very worried that the guy would fall out with him again when he woke up. To his relief, the savage was being reasonable for once!

“How about the Sword? Did anyone check it already?” Mo Fan asked, not giving up. How could the Dark Swordmaster not drop any valuable loot? It was a disgrace to the Ruler-level creatures!

“Who cares about the Sword? We are all Mages, do you think we can use a demon creature’s weapon?” Zhao Manyan replied.

Mo Fan went forward and inspected the Dark Swordmaster’s Sword with his Will. An icy power suddenly penetrated his Spiritual World, sending a great chill down his spine!

“Oh my, such a strong presence of darkness!” Mo Fan subconsciously took a few steps back.

He had just recovered from his injuries, and his mind was still in a weak state. He almost failed to defend himself from the dark energy!

“So? What did you find?” Heidi asked.

“The good stuff is in the Sword. None of you are Shadow Mages, so you didn’t realize it!” Mo Fan grinned. He was glad that he had been curious enough to inspect the Sword.

Mo Fan was quite interested in the Sword. The Dark Swordmaster had kept holding it high up in the air, as if it was declaring something every time it used a powerful move.

Dark Magic originated from the God of Darkness. Both a Darkness Creature or a Mage would have to sign a Dark Contract with it to obtain its power. Mo Fan had no clue what kind of contract existed between the Darkness Creatures and the God of Darkness, but as a Mage, he had to contribute his energy to the God of Darkness in exchange for the dark energy.

Therefore, Mo Fan could not help but think that the Darkness Creatures were communicating with the God of Darkness through some medium!

When Mo Fan inspected the Sword, he discovered that its Dark energy had not dissipated completely. It meant the Sword was the source of the Dark Swordmaster’s Dark energy!

“Since none of you can claim it, I will gladly take it!” Mo Fan touched the handle of the Dark Swordmaster’s Sword.

A viscous black substance surfaced on the sword. It flowed from the tip up to the hilt, before making its way to Mo Fan’s palm.

“Mo Fan, what are you doing? Don’t tell me you have decided to practice the art of the sword and become a magic swordsman!?” Zhao Manyan ventured.

“Magic swordsman my ass, do you think we are in a novel now? Do you think I can learn both magic and martial arts? The Sword contains the Darkness essence left by the Dark Swordmaster. You can just think of it as a Dark Substance. Since the Dark Swordmaster is dead, the ownerless Dark Substance will cling to any living creature with the Dark energy. It will either grow or dissipate on its own and become particles of Dark Magic in the air... I’m actually leading the Dark Substance that has nowhere to go in the right direction, don’t you agree?” Mo Fan explained.

“What bullshit are you talking about? You’re just absorbing the Dark energy. Doesn’t that mean your Dark Substance will become stronger from it?” Heidi said.

“HAHA, of course it’s going to help my Fiendish Night improve!” Mo Fan laughed.

“Why do you always end up with the good stuff?” Zhao Manyan sighed in resignation.

“I sacrificed my right arm for it. I’m not you who messes around whenever you visit a new city. Do you have any idea how important my right hand is to me? So you’re telling me I’m not worthy to claim the Dark Substance?” Mo Fan said righteously.

Mo Fan slowly guided the Dark Substance into his body so it could merge with his soul. Since the Fiendish Night had already merged with his soul, how could it possibly give up on the ownerless Dark Substance? It immediately devoured it all!

“I’m done with the calculations. If you rotate the pointer to here, it will point the deathlight at the Island of Oblivion!” Shreev declared.

“I’ll do it,” Mo Fan volunteered. He looked at the white pointer on the compass.

It was around a meter long. Mo Fan tried rotating it to the spot Shreev mentioned.

“Ugh!” Moving the pointer was harder than Mo Fan had expected. He was struggling to rotate it.

“What’s happening? I can’t rotate it,” Mo Fan said.

“Try harder,” Shreev said.

Mo Fan used a greater force this time, but the pointer still did not budge still. The others began to look gloomy.

“Seriously? We’ve tried so hard to get here, yet we can’t even move the pointer? Is there some kind of magic formation on it? It doesn’t look like there’s any magic on it. It doesn’t make any sense!” Zhao Manyan exclaimed.

“It’s not protected by magic. I already checked it. Strange, why can’t you rotate it? Mo Fan, try again with a greater force. Use your Space Magic too,” Shreev suggested.

Mo Fan nodded. He applied the Space Magic to his left hand to increase his might, and tried rotating the pointer again. It did make some noise, but it did not move in the direction he was trying to rotate it into!

Mo Fan’s forehead was covered in sweat.

He might only have a left hand, but it still did not explain why he had failed to move the pointer. There had to be some other secrets about the Underworld Compass...

“What should we do now? If we can’t move the pointer, we won’t be able to manipulate the deathlight, which means our initial plan to leave this place isn’t going to work,” Meos blurted out worriedly.

Meos began to panic, she was losing hope. To think that something like this would happen after they had come so far...

“I thought we were done here, but...” Mo Fan let out a sigh.

Everyone fell silent. No one spoke for a long time, all overwhelmed by despair.

“Say, did you try moving it in the other direction?” Heidi suddenly suggested.

“The other direction? You mean in the counter-clockwise direction?” Mo Fan said.

“Yeah.”

“If I can’t spin it in the clockwise direction, I doubt it’s going to move in the opposite...” Mo Fan rotated the pointer in the counter-clockwise direction while he was talking.

The pointer immediately moved as soon as he touched it, moving across two markings along the edge.

Mo Fan’s expression froze as soon as the pointer moved.

The eyes of the others widened too. They looked at the pointer before staring at Mo Fan.

“Are you seriously telling me you didn’t even try moving it in the opposite direction?” Mu Bai looked at Mo Fan like he was a retard.

“Ugh...” Mo Fan did not know how to explain himself. He quickly moved the pointer around half the circle to the spot Shreev had mentioned.

The Underworld Compass immediately glowed with a serene blue light when the pointer reached that specific spot.

The blue light rose into the darkness and bounced back as if it had hit a mirror. It then refracted to a higher spot before bouncing back again!

It kept going for some time, resulting in a brilliant pattern spread across the place. It looked similar to a magic spell, made up of Star Orbits, Star Patterns, Star Constellations, and Star Palaces!

“Did it work?” Heidi asked in disbelief, staring at the beautiful light.

“It seems like it...” Mo Fan murmured, also staring at the display.

“Mo Fan, your intelligence has successfully lowered the standards of the Great Pyramid of Giza. We might have been able to accomplish the mission way earlier if you weren’t leading the team. Ah, we are finally done here!” Zhao Manyan proclaimed.

Mo Fan ignored Zhao Manyan’s insult. He had something to declare himself!

“Khufu, be ready for your punishment from the heroic spirits of our country; you asked for it!”
