Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
He placed the god’s ancient tree into his bag just as he was about to end this long battle of attrition.
‘Shua!’
The earth trembled, and dozens of enormous roots violently pulled out of the sand.
Dust flew all over the sky.
The 30-meter-tall god’s ancient tree suddenly rose to 40 meters high.
The roots beneath it were like legs that supported the weight of the tree trunk as they began to move outward…
The god’s ancient tree…was running away?
Although he knew that the god’s ancient tree could move, to see a tree running away still made him feel a little out of place.
Richard took a deep breath. He immediately gave the order.
“Continue to attack. The sand condensation archers and the undead soldiers will suppress it. We must not give this human-faced giant tree a chance to catch its breath!”
Due to the death of the poisonous wasps, the god’s ancient tree no longer had any means to deal with them. They constantly beat it up.
However, the more it was like this, the more tempted it was.
It could withstand over ten hours of hysteria bombardment from him and over a hundred troops.
How many lives of the same level could do this?…
“Twilight City is your final destination.”
The god’s ancient tree needed a large-scale troop to unleash its true power.
Richard’s eyes were burning.
To plant this tree in Twilight City was ultimately a matter of great significance.
A yellow sand-like light flashed, and its body floated in the air as it immediately followed.
The god’s ancient tree sensed Richard’s aura approached. Its twisted human face stared fixedly at the human it hated so much.
Like a long gray snake,the twisted human-faced giant tree lashed out at Richard with several grains of sand.
‘Whoosh!’
They could hear a strong sound of torn-apart air. This attack could probably shatter the city wall!
Richard dodged lightly and avoided the terrifying attack.
Then, he stretched out his hand. Endless sandstorms enveloped the god’s ancient tree again.
‘Boom!’
Flames rose.
Scorching sandstorms enveloped this boss once again.
The god’s ancient tree did not know how many times it had suffered such damage.
It could still withstand it at the beginning. But the enemy’s attacks were too concentrated and violent.
That also destroyed the land that stored energy. It has unduly exhausted.
‘Rumble!’
Amidst the flames that filled the sky and the endless sandstorm.
The enormous figure slowly collapsed.
‘Bang!’
It crashed into the sand with a muffled sound.
This left an exaggerated mark on the sand.
A large amount of yellow sand splashed.
Everything became blurry under the cover of the flames.
This attack had finally become the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
The muscles in Richard’s body trembled uncontrollably at this moment. His chest heaved up and down rapidly.
But he did not stop. The sandstorm slowly subsided after his magic energy has exhausted.
Under the illumination of the cold moon this time.
The god’s ancient tree’s huge body collapsed in the desert.
Its entire body was charred black, and holes and arrow holes of various sizes filled its bark.
No one could imagine how many times a squadron of sand condensation archers and four squadrons of undead soldiers attacked this boss in the past ten hours.
Water droplets pierced through rocks.
It would still crack under long-lasting and concentrated attacks no matter how tough the defense was.
The life force scorching as the sun as before had also turned into torches that swayed in the wind at this moment.
Although it was still far from being extinguished, it did not lose its previous strength.
After the other party collapsed, Richard did not stop there. He continued to let the troop continue to attack.
He was like the most experienced savage. He would not let his guard down until the very last moment.
The sound of the sand condensation archers’ arrows and the undead soldiers hitting the god’s ancient tree spread far and wide in the silent desert…
These attacks were not fatal, but they squeezed the final strength of the god’s ancient tree.
This process lasted for half an hour.
‘Roar!’
The god’s ancient tree on its last breath suddenly let out a mournful roar. Its collapsed figure suddenly stood up, its huge trunk and terrifying roots waving wildly.
Even a hundred-meter-tall boulder would probably shatter under the impact of such terrifying power.
A terrifying voice that rushed straight into the mind came along with the attack of the tree roots.
It was a sublimely indescribable evil language. It seemed to echo in the blood sea of hell for eternity.
Richard felt his head swell and his eyelids twitched wildly even though he was hundreds of meters away.
[Whisper of the Soul (A-rank) — Within a diameter of 100 meters from the tree trunk, the cursed ancient tree can affect the enemy’s mind, causing the enemy’s will to collapse.]
It starkly enveloped the surrounding troop.
The soul fire seemed to have encountered a storm. It swayed and could be extinguished at any time. Fortunately, the soul was the strongest among the undead.
When the enemy erupted, the troop activated their sturdiest life-saving skill under the orders of the two heroes this time.
‘Peng!’
The giant tree roots hit dozens of dark gargoyles in the next second. And their bodies directly exploded.
Sand flew all over the sky.
Fortunately, the enemy used tree roots and did not have the instant death characteristic of the tree branches, so the troop retreated.
When Richard saw the enemy had stirred up the earth into chaos, like a sandstorm, he did not attack again.
It lasted for three minutes.
The god’s ancient tree let out a mournful roar, and its body collapsed for the second time.
Richard finally waved his hand to stop the attacking army this time.
He floated and approached alone.
In his perception, the enemy’s life turned from a torch to a candle that was about to burn out.
Weak and small.
It floated above the enemy.
Yellow sand covered his body.
The next second.
An indescribable pressure surged over.
It was like the collapse of a hundred thousand feet high mountains. It pressed down on the ancient tree in the most overbearing way.
The god’s ancient tree’s face faced the sky. In its perception, the figure that made it extremely angry appeared.
However, it was too weak. It no longer had the strength to stand up.
And the other party approached gradually. The powerful aura it carried was like a sandstorm that destroyed everything in the desert.
It felt an indescribable fear.
Despair and unwillingness surged in its heart.
The fear of death for life seeped out from the depths of its soul.
It couldn’t resist.
“Surrender or die?”
Richard’s voice was cold. He used his spiritual power to convey the meaning of his words to the god’s ancient tree.
“I am the ruler of the desert, the master of the yellow sand.”
“Surrender. You will receive my nurturing and receive endless flesh and corpses. In the future, you will become an eternal tree of darkness that would stand on endless planes.
“Death. You will wither and break. As time passes, you will gradually decay and turn into sand. Time will erase all traces of your existence…
“Surrender or die?”
Richard increased the amount of magic energy at another interrogation and poured it into the Yellow Sand Halo.
The more magic energy he poured in, the more powerful the Yellow Sand Halo would be.
He wanted to crush the final will of this boss.
“Surrender, or die!”
The aura of the giant dragon began to spread at the same time out from his body.
He starkly mobilized the power in his body.
The pressure on his body was now fully unleashed.
“Surrender, or die!”
Every time he repeated it, it was a massive impact on the god’s ancient tree on the verge of collapse.
Death approached.
It smelled the scent of despair.
It felt the gaze of death…
No, no!!
It couldn’t die just like that!!
Its initial memories appeared in its mind at this moment… When it was still a sapling, it had unintentionally grown next to a corpse with tremendous power.
It had gradually grown into such a powerful existence because it had devoured the flesh and blood of that corpse.
It did not want to die. It could not die…
It wanted to live, live…
“Submit, or die!!”
A thunderous roar caused its will to completely collapse.
“Submit…”
The unique ancient tree’s language was very weak.
When Richard heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up.
At this moment, his heart was extremely comfortable.
He had finally made this boss kneel and sing ‘conquer’.
Take out 4-stars treasure from the system space — dark contract, prepare to contract each other’s time.
The god’s evil ancient tree’s second sentence made Richard stunned.
“I will…give my soul…”
“Give up your soul?”
[Ding~ The god’s ancient tree (level 11 boss unit) is willing to offer its soul and submit to you. Do you accept the power of the other party’s soul? Note: Everything is under your control after the other party has offered its soul. You can use the soul power of the other party to control its life, death, and actions.]
Richard’s expression became extensively riveting at this moment.
He lowered his head and looked at the dark contract in his hand.
“This thing…cannot be used??”
