Reborn as God: The strongest system

Each one of the eyes allowed him to see in any direction in a 200-meter radius, the images were projected into his mind. He could also hear a bit, although there were distortions in the sound transmitted from time to time.

So, he was dumbfounded, when he saw so many warlocks coming after him, and he was about to bolt out of this place immediately.

But then he paid attention to their actions, and noticed several strange points, mainly, they did not seem hell-bent on chasing him down as much as they were exploring the dungeon.

In the back of his mind, he expected an exciting chase sequence or something along those lines.

So since he noticed that they decided to go down, he thought he might as well see what happens next. After all, that sarcophagus was extremely strange, along with this entire pyramid.

It felt extremely sophisticated.

The five warlocks were standing in front of the chained sarcophagus. Esdras, also noticed that the dark miasma released by the sarcophagus was much denser than it was back then.

Before doing anything The Warlocks engaged in a discussion ultimately, they concluded that the sarcophagus must have belonged to a very important monarch.

Some cultures in the past were known to bury their treasures with them. Indeed, mini ruins, help many magic, items, or mana stones.

The energy released by the sarcophagus was proof that it contains many magical items or a high-grade mana stone.

Although this was just a preliminary investigation, they decided to retrieve these important items right now, for obvious reasons.

Two of the warlocks cast several spells all at once, three meter long bone spears cut through the hundreds of chains that held the sarcophagus up and it fell down.

The impact of this huge structure is more than 10 meters long and heavier than even what its size implied. The ground creaked and groaned as if in pain, and the wind suddenly picked up out of nowhere.

The cloaks of The Warlocks were flat in the wind, the dark miasma was even greater up close.

With their goal almost completed, the Warlocks walked over to the sarcophagus, and one of them actually enlarged himself, he became 3 meters tall and very buff.

The robes and clothes he was wearing were not torn off unexpectedly despite his almost giant-like proportions.

Esdras also noticed that The Warlock's Physique stat rose from 1 to 4, this was much stronger than a regular vigor knight. Even his own start right now was 5.

These warlocks were unpredictable and possessed strange spells that challenged the common sense of the elemental mages.

The transformed warlock tried to open up the sarcophagus, but it was all in vain, no matter how he tried he could not move it an inch. For a long time, their attempts ended in failure.

Being fed up and impatient, The Warlocks resorted to using force instead of trying it the nice way.

Funnily enough, Esdras was enjoying the show. He wondered what the warlock's expressions would look like if they knew they were messing with a grade 4 being.

After a long spectacle, none of the spells managed to leave even a single dent in the sarcophagus.

At this point, The Warlocks were incredibly frustrated and impatient. How could the combined attacks be useless?

What they did not notice because of their proximity to the sarcophagus was the amount of dark miasma had doubled and then tripled.

Finally, all the dark miasma was collected back inside the sarcophagus. The eyes sketched on the Egyptian pharaoh-like effigy on top of the sarcophagus started glowing.

And then it opened its mouth and released a harrowing screech that immediately renter The Warlocks defenseless as they fell down, covering their ears.

The effigy opens its eyes, and they were completely black without any irises, and cried, deep crimson blood seeped out, at first a few drops, and then a stream.

The Warlocks down there were wailing and howling, scratching at their own faces, some of them even started speaking in unknown languages.

Finally, there was a drum-like noise after which everything went quiet.

The sarcophagus's opening drew all eyes to it, and from within a smoke-like figure rose.

It was like a shadow-given form. It had a blank face, except for two white dots for eyes, and a frowning cartoonish mouth. That face was like a childish, drawing without any distinct features.

Some of the warlocks that regained their wits at this moment attempted to attack.

"Silence."

The shadowy smoke-like figure spoke, the voice somehow made all the warlocks freeze in place their expressions were very ugly.

"Ants? Do mortals dare disturb my slumber? …You do not prostrate at my sight?" The voice was like there were tens of people talking at the same time.

The figure waved his hand and all of the warlocks exploded literally into pools of blood. Without having the chance to resist at all.

Then the figure inhaled sharply and the blood pools turned into blood fog that was absorbed directly into the shadow's wide-open mouth.

" disgusting, what is this foul taste?" The shadow remarked itself, "hmm… wait something isn't right…. what is this… a different world?"

Suddenly the shadow started laughing hysterically, and the dark power within it rushed into the outside, completely destroying and decimating the entirety of the gigantic hall.

"The musty smell… the sour odor of sweat… the tangy stench of blood… it's been a while!"

"Hahhahha! Hahahaha! At last!"

****

Esdras knew it was time to get the fuck out of there. He was shivering, he underestimated the power of rank 4, and he simply couldn't truly comprehend that power, even now all he knew was that he knew nothing.

The five warlocks were not weak, even Esdras could only die if he were to face them. He wouldn't be surprised that they lost, what shocked him was that they couldn't even resist.

Esdras rushed over to the exit vortex but before he could pass through it, a crack in space destroyed it.

From within that crack, a hand crossed over and held the space between the real world.

The hand was entire without skin. He could vividly see the flesh and veins of the hand.

"Eliminate…"
