Chapter 89: Chapter 91: The Second Big Harvest, The Powerful Dark Gargoyle
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Richard opened the attribute panel of the Dark Gargoyle’s lair. And sure enough, there were changes.
The seal of the Dark Gargoyle’s lair had disappeared, and the last attribute made Richard feel even better.
[Note: At present, the gargoyles have consumed enough to recruit. Within three days, each dark gargoyle only needs to consume ten units of the gemstones to recruit.]
Was there such a good thing?
These benefits were probably prepared for Lich’s resurrection. Now, they were all cheaper for him.
With intense excitement, he chose to recruit.
[Ding~ Do you want to consume 400 units of gemstones to recruit gargoyles * 40?]
Richard confirmed everything after the notification sounded.
Only 350 of the 750 units of gemstones remained on the panel in an instant.
‘Crack!’
In the next second, the chest of the gargoyle statue in front of him suddenly split open.
A hideous head emerged within. Then, with both hands that supported the left and right sides and with great force, its body crawled slowly.
‘Whoosh!’
When the last tail appeared, it suddenly spread its closed wings.
An overbearing dark gargoyle appeared in front of Richard.
The dark gargoyle was a miniature version of the statue. Its muscles were like steel, filled with streamlined strips.
Its body stood upright and reached at least three meters tall.
Its four limbs had claws that were sharper than razors. Even a warrior’s shield would not be able to withstand their attacks.
Its wings were bent, and the front part of its body had sharp thorn-like blades. It made people understand that this was distinctly not a decoration.
Barbs grew on the elbows, knees, and shoulders. Every part of the body seemed to be born for slaughter.
The appearance of this legendary soldier was quite impressive.

[Description: A unique construct that has outstanding strength and defense.]
Richard was overjoyed after he looked at the attributes of the dark gargoyles a few times.
What a good guy!
This attribute was incredible! As expected of the once glorious rank of the troop!
Moreover, the dark gargoyles were ultimately immune to magic… Just this attribute alone was priceless.
With the Sand Transformation, ordinary physical damage was limited to the troop of Twilight City. Only mages could deal an immense amount of damage.
The appearance of the dark gargoyles made up for this shortcoming.
In the future, don’t let it see mages. Otherwise, it would let the enemy know what a mage killer was.
Moreover, the dark gargoyles as flying units, could bypass the front row and directly attack the back row.
This unit had strategic value.
Richard was satisfied.
He suddenly thought after a moment of observation… Since the gargoyles were immune to magic, could he still bestow the Sand transformation Skill on them???
“Logically, my Sand Transformation skill isn’t magic, but a bloodline ability – a Lord’s talent.”
The magic was acquired, but the talent was hidden in the bloodline.
The difference between the two was that cast magic consumed magic power.
And cast talent skills consumed the power in the bloodline.
Although outsiders couldn’t see the difference, the caster could still feel it.
Richard summoned the first two dark gargoyles over with slight uncertainty.
“Lord…”
With a bit of mechanical stiffness, the dark gargoyle’s voice muffled.
Richard nodded and stretched out his right hand.
A yellow sand-like light rose from his palm and spread out in a few blinks of an eye, it directly enveloped the two dark gargoyles.
The dark gargoyles’ immune to magic bodies did not reject the influx of this power.
A moment later.
[Ding~ Under your blessing, the dark gargoyles have grasped part of the power of the desert and obtained a new skill — Sand Transformation (C-rank).]
“Hahahahaha!! It truly worked!!!!”
Richard’s mood instantly exploded. The vast surprise made him burst out laughing.
“The talent of the Desert Lord was awesome!!!
“It was indeed unreasonable and did not even mention science!!
“The Dark Gargoyle was already very thick and was immune to magic damage. If it activated Sand Transformation, wouldn’t it be equivalent to directly activating invincibility?”
Richard felt that the troop in his hands developed in an extremely abnormal direction.
Strong to the heavens.
But it was good to be strong. He liked strong.
He smiled as he watched the birth of four small teams of dark gargoyles. The not-so-wide cave was tightly crowded.
Richard destroyed the Dark Gargoyle’s lair after he bestowed Sand Transformation to all the dark gargoyles.
He put the two miniature cores of the lair into the system space.
When he walked out of the ancient tomb and looked at the assembled troop in front of him, his expression was still a bit stunned.
He had gained a lot in the past few days.
The current troops in his hands had tremendously improved after some calculations.
Rare 3-stars Bandaged Mummy: 50
Rare 3-stars Poisonous Scorpion Warrior: 27
Rare 3-stars Cursed Pharaoh: 5
Rare 3-stars Axe of the Dead: 20
Rare 3-stars Dark Gargoyle: 40
The total number of soldiers added up to 142, one and a half squadrons.
Not only is the quality extremely high, but two A-rank heroes led the squadrons.
Gray, transformed from the Cursed Pharaoh unit, was proficient in curses and control. He could cast spells continuously and forcefully control the enemy.
Gunter Fresh Blood, transformed from bandaged mummy unit, was proficient in offensive magic. Every day, he could recruit three squadrons of bandaged mummies from the corpses.
This team configuration was enough to make any player envious in less than a month.
Richard looked at Gunter.
He was starkly interested in this guy’s ability to recruit mummies.
“Can the corpses around the blood pool be transformed into mummies?”
Gunter immediately replied.
“Lord, as long as it’s a corpse, it’s fine. However, the strength of the corpse itself isn’t strong enough. The mummies recruited are at most of the ordinary level…”
“It’s fine. Let’s give it a try first.”
Richard was vastly envious of the undead’s ability to use the corpses of their enemies to replenish their troops.
However, he never expected he would have a hero with the same ability now.
He would recruit those mummies and bestow them with Sand Transformation… They would still be of great use even if their levels weren’t high.
