On the second floor, the atmosphere was similar to that of a desert, with some buildings made of tall stones.
Erina and the group passed through the desert while looking at the surroundings.
The exhausted Lily was carried by Damien.
"This is so hot" fourteen-year-old Varlo began to complain.
They were all dripping with sweat because the weather was so hot it was like a desert.
"Hey mysterious man, please explain what we should be in this place?"
The man also appeared "Ah, sorry I was late, on this floor you just survive, then at the end there will be a leader that you have to defeat, easy right?!"
It disappeared.
"It's really good that people say it, even though it's really heavy here"
Damien's annoyed.
"Perhaps, he understands that this group contains strong people, so it seems easy" Leiva commented.
"Yes, Leiva has a point, maybe our level is above level to pass through this tower" Succubus added.
Then the sand below began to move - a motion like there would appear.
Thousands of scorpions began to creep out and approach Erina and the others.
The Succubus burned all the scorpions in an instant. "Come, what else came out!? i'll finish!"
Suddenly there was a slow clapping sound, all looking for the origin of the sound.
From the middle of the yellow sand, there appeared a person, someone with a look known to them.
"ALEXEI!!??"
"Hello everyone, long time no see ya" said Alexei who already looks different appearance.
He was dressed like an ancient Egyptian king or Pharaoh. With all the gold accessories.
"What happened to you? why are your clothes like that?" Erina is confused
"Ah, the matter of clothes should not be too concerned about my brother, now this is how you can get through the task that I will give"
"You're possessed!?" ask Succubus
"No demon lady, I only found myself in this place, now everything is clear"
Erina started crying "Alexei, I'm sorry, you must have been through some tough stuff, until you got like this, but is this really what you want?"
"Of course, I won't be lonely anymore, I have power in this place right now"
"Don't we, after this is all done, go out to eat and shop like a normal brother"
"We are never normal Erina, YOU, are never normal, so face this one in front of you"
Alexei disappeared, Erina fell down.
He felt very guilty for involving his distant brother in this matter.
"This power has taken a lot of casualties, I want to quickly end it"
"But this is not your fault, son, everyone who decided to come here has chosen their own path" Lily calmed Erina.
Soon, from all directions began to appear mummies, mummies were running fast.
But it looks like many mummies have fallen into a hole in the sand, quicksand.
"We have to walk straight in that direction! don't get caught mummified or fall into the quicksand" Damien exclaimed.
They begin to move slowly while avoiding the mummy, if there is sunken sand into it means it can suck.
Damien wiped the approaching mummy with his scythe. Succubus flies and helps to see the road conditions.
"Ahead walk a little to the right! there's a big hole in the middle" Succubus directs them.
"Back.toloong!" varlo's leg was captured by the mummy, Damien swiftly saving it.
But there was something strange with Varlo's legs held in mummy.
His feet were rotting rapidly.
"Gosh, I'm going to treat you, I hope this potion works" Lily tried to smash the potion into Varlo's leg, and the rot stopped, but she couldn't walk.
Succubus is forced to hold Varlo, Damien who takes care of the mummies below.
There was a small pyramid that was glowing at the end.
Alexei's voice sounded but did not see the form "Congratulations, the easiest first part has been passed, now the next one please be more careful"
Damien got a little upset, "A lot of your brother's behavior is yes"
"He must have been influenced by something, something that could change a person's heart and mind"
Then in front of them came a man with a bird's head and a long stick. He came in a chair lifted by four men.
"Come to Horus! the god of war, for those who try to fight, will run out like sand" Horus' voice echoed throughout the area.
Lily thought of something.
"You know something?" ask Damien to Lily
"It seems, in this tower there are many powerful astral. Gods and goddesses who are no longer successful in the upper world, here they can have a position as guardians of the tower. Can be free to rule and use his power"
"But it seems like they're tied up and can't go anywhere else?" ask Succubus
"It looks like it"
"Then Alexei also became attached to this place and could not go dong?" ask Erina
Lily and Succubus nodded.
Horus began to call out his army, the sand man. Then make a sandstorm behind him as a fortress.
"If you can get through this, you can face the king of the pyramids, who will open the way to the next floor" Horus said.
"How do you beat the sand man?"
"No need to fight, we just pass it, also the storm" Damien suggested
"How is it possible, that much!?" Erina wasn't sure.
Suddenly the mysterious man appeared in the middle - they "There's something I forgot to say, any of you who beat the leader on a certain floor, you'll get the same ability as him" It just disappeared like usual.
Erina, Succubus, Damien and the two boys stared at Lily.
"I don't know what abilities I have either" Lily felt intimidated.
"Let's think fast, what can a werewolf do?" Damien muttered to himself
"The sand men are getting closer, they're making barricades, we can't get through"
Damien stepped forward and grabbed the sand man with his scythe, but in vain, it had no effect because his body was made of sand.
"I'll protect these two boys upstairs, you think about it" Succubus held Leiva and Varlo and flew over.
"Ah, I know!" Damien got the idea while swinging his scythe to slow the sand man down.
"What!?" ask Lily.
"Werewolf is very agile, you should be able to run fast and jump high"
"Ah what is it?" Lily wasn't sure
"Try ma, use all your energy to run through this sand, but be careful"
Lily prepared herself then followed her directions.
'Wush..' He ran very fast through the sand man and his storm, he managed to arrive at the other side. And then quickly he came back again.
"Hey this is so easy, let's hurry one by one come with me"
Lily went back and forth to bring the other five through the sandstorm. They arrived safely, but he was very tired.
Horus appreciated their ability to get through the challenge,
"Okay, since you've succeeded, now you must face the king of the pyramids"
"Who is the king of the pyramids?"
Appearing Alexei from the top of the pyramid, he jumped from afar and directly landed in front of Erina and friends.
Alexei's gaze was sharp like a savage beast finding its prey.
"This time, kill or be killed" Horus said.
"What's!? I won't kill him" Erina exclaimed.
"Then you're the one who's gonna be killed. It's not what you know before, it's now part of the ancient Egyptian kingdom"
Erina and Alexei looked at each other.
