Mummy Evolution

The trio soon left the bath refreshed, completely awake.

It felt good. Almost as if they had been reborn.

Sett knew that feeling. It was a feeling that ordinary people could rarely experience—the feeling of a safe bath after a life and death situation. It always made one appreciate all the things that life had to offer, and that was exactly what he and the two girls felt at the moment.

Life. was beautiful.

"I want something to eat," Zainah said, stretching her back slightly as they walked through the streets. "Something delicious, hot, and—either spicy or sweet."

"I want something crunchy," Zarah said, a hand under her chin. "Something like chicken fry, but also not. Something like chips, but also not."

Sett, on the other hand, ignored the two girls and looked at his own palm as he walked. His overall strength had changed dramatically—the him when he just entered the Tomb and the him now were two different people entirely.

He himself had become a Tomb Walker, gaining an inhumane Tier 2 physique. And he had also gained new abilities that put him at a completely different potential peak than his previous life.

Sett's golden eyes gained a layer of depth as he lost himself inside his head.

He had gained another Limitless Magic: Tomb Slaves. That was much more important than his more powerful physique.

Now, he could enslave anyone he kills and turn them into his own loyal slaves.

They weren't that intelligent, only capable of listening to his orders, but they were a great force. They still had their battle instincts and abilities!

Sett put a finger on his nose, deep in thought.

The Tomb Slaves would be almost useless in the real world—as they cannot leave Tombs—but they would be an incredible asset inside Tombs. In fact, the more powerful the people he kills, the more powerful his own army would become.

The thought alone made Sett's heartbeat quicken.

Even I myself don't really understand how strong my army is at the moment, he realized. I need to properly understand my limits.

The girls pulled him to some sort of food stall and asked him what he wanted to eat. He replied absentmindedly to them, and made the system screen pop up in front of him.

Thankfully for him, the screen had cleanly put together a list of his Tomb Slave army, making it much easier to understand his own strength.

_

[Tomb Slave Registry]

[Total Number of Slaves: 50/50]

[Tier 3 Slaves: 2]

(Ana, Shining Silver)

[Tier 2 Slaves: 17]

(Lord Burrhen, Desert Rhino, Horny Hyena, Shining Gold, Sand Lion, Shining White, Sand Tiger, Shining Black, [9x] Kemet Soldiers)

[Tier 1 Slaves: 23]

(Desert Alligator, Spring Snake, Ostrich, Mummy… [13x] Kemet Soldiers)

[Tier 0 Slaves: 8]

([8x] Kemet Soldiers)

—

Sett stared at the screen for a while longer.

He had integrated all the Kemeten Soldiers he met—ranging from Tier 0 to Tier 2—into his Tomb Slave army to fill in the gaps. That had made his army reach the full capacity in quantity: 50.

Then, he also had the beasts he slaughtered while he was roaming outside in the storms. That made it a rather unique army with a unique type of soldier to solve most situations.

Pondering on it, Ana was obviously his strongest Tomb Slave.

With Lord Burrhen right behind her. Burrhen might seem weaker than Ana due to her overwhelming strength, but Burrhen had more Axiom Abilities!

Wyrm Fists. Wyrm Scales. Wyrm Flame.

Worm and Snake Transformation.

Wyrm Wings.

Those were all great advantages, especially the defense of Wyrm Scales and offense of Wyrm Flame!

Worm and Snake Transformation also allowed Burrhen to change his physical size. He could become as big as a building or as small as a worm, that would also be a big advantage in a battle if Lord Burrhen could use it strategically.

As he thought about Lord Burrhen, though, Sett frowned a bit.

If he had been able to transform Lord Burrhen into a Tomb Raider, things would have become very interesting—after all, Lord Burrhen had a physicality enhancing Axiom, if he were to be a Tomb Raider on top of it, he would become a deadly human force.

But after feeding Lord Burrhen a Tier 1 Tomb Heart, Sett now understood that Lord Burrhen did not have the talent for it. He could neither become a Tomb Raider, nor a Crypt Walker. His body just discarded the Tomb Hearts he ate through defecation.

He was the same as Zainah.

"Ah, food arrived," Zarah exclaimed.

Somebody placed a bowl of fried lamb with soup infront of him, steaming hot.

He stirred it with his wooden spoon, not eating.

If I can give Burrhen more territory, he can become a Tier 3 Axiom Holder. That should make him much, much stronger than Ana. He surmised. The guy still has more potential, but I have to think about that.

There were rules to handing out Territories when Sett was a Pharaoh, and the same went for his army now as well. If he lends some territory to one person, that meant he cannot give that same Territory to others.

There was a whole way this refining of Territory worked, and thinking about that made Sett realize the work he still had left. But just as he was about to think deeper on that—

Someone made him gently open his mouth and fed him a spoonful of lamb soup.

He looked and found an annoyed Zainah. "What are you staring blankly for? Here, it tastes good."

Sett smiled, then smirked. "Since you fed me a spoon, might as well feed me the rest."

She rolled her eyes. "No way, if you want to eat. Eat on your own."

He clicked his tongue. Then looked at Zarah.

He opened his mouth, hoping this cute little sister of his would feed him.

Zarah jibbed, "You've got two hands, right?" She slurped her own food up, licking her lips. "Those things seemed to be working well in the bath, so it should work now as well. Eat on your own. Humph!"

Zainah almost fell on the floor.
