Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Richard didn’t expect a group of half-murlocs would ambush his troops in this land of broken laws.
Some half-murlocs lived in the desert… No one would believe such an outrageous thing.
He looked at the ferocious monster above his head and opened the attribute panel.
[Desert Half-Murloc, Level 9, Rare 2-stars.]
[Desert Half-Murloc Lord, Hero Unit, Level 12, Potential B-rank]
He felt a little more at ease.
The Black Gold System’s rating of the danger level of 2-stars was reasonable.
However, what puzzled him was that the desert half-murloc lord was only level 12. How did he enslave the level 14 twin-headed ogre lord?
The crown-wearing half-murloc lord roared and looked at Richard, who ignored him.
It couldn’t suppress the killing intent in its heart and waved its hand.
“Kill them!”
The ancient murloc language came from the bottom of the water. It carried a distinguished dullness.
In that instant.
The bow-wielding half-murloc’s ugly face revealed a creepy smile as it surged in the blue water.
What a fantabulous command.
Death… It had arrived.
It quietly released the bowstring in its hand, which the half-murloc lord stretched to the limit.
Black arrows with a faint blue glow streaked across the water.
‘Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!’
Thousands of arrows shot out from the lake water above them. It created a spectacular scene.
The transparent shield that separated the lake water seemed to have one function, and the arrows could penetrate it freely.
The Twilight City’s troop was within the enemy’s attack range.
The area with the most concentrated volume of energy was the bandaged mummies and scorpion warriors in front of them.
No matter how hard they tried to block the arrows with their sharp claws, they fell from the sky and pierced through their bodies within a few breaths.
The mummy in the center turned into a porcupine.
If they had not activated Sand Transformation in time, the enemy could have annihilated the two troops instantly.
“Counterattack!!”
The prepared sand condensation archers immediately released their bowstrings.
The arrows in their hands charged at an extraordinary speed.
Rapid shooting, D-rank. Within 10 seconds, they fired 30 arrows in a row. Cooldown Time: 5 minutes.
The 25 teams immediately formed a rain of arrows.
The arrow pierced through the river in the sky.
The resistance in the water was colossal than in the air. And it could even reduce the lethality of bullets in the water to the freezing point.
However, the arrows of the sand condensation archers formed from their strength and were not ordinary arrows.
They did not lose strength due to the resistance in the water. They continued to stab into the half-murloc formation at a supreme speed.
‘Puchi!’
Fresh blood flowed from the half-murloc’s wound like red ink had dripped into clear water. It instantly dyed the surroundings red.
When the crown-wearing murloc lord saw this, its killing intent surged.
“I want them dead!”
An angry roar reverberated through the entire area.
More and more murlocs gathered and glared at the troop of mummies.
They pulled the bow and arrow in their hands.
Although Twilight City tried its best to fight back, the difference in numbers was evident.
Only the sand condensation archers could attack the enemies.
The undead soldiers’ 40-meter range couldn’t even touch the enemy.
Alves, the dragon hero, burned with blood power. An endless stream of arrows enraged the murloc lord.
They flew close to the lake in the sky.
Its throat suddenly emitted a blood-colored light.
Alves released the Beyond A-rank dragon’s breath.
‘Shua!’
The lake water in front of them vaporized, but in the blink of an eye, more lake water rolled back at them and did not cause any harm to those half-murlocs.
The dragon breath was strapping, but the lake water was a natural barrier.
The half-murlocs had the absolute home-field advantage before one could break the barrier.
Alves could only stay outside the lake while it was furious.
Richard was the main target.
The arrow whistled through the air. It almost blocked Richard’s vision.
But he didn’t move an inch.
The sand on the ground floated. It fomed seven or eight layers of sand above the head.
Even if those sharp arrows could pierce through thick shields, they couldn’t break through these seven or eight layers of shields about 10 to 20 centimeters thick…
He turned and looked around.
Other than the sand condensation archers, the other troops could not do anything to the half-murlocs that lived in the water.
Richard’s eyes grew cold.
“If you want to treat me as prey, you must have the skill!”
The sand on the ground rose and shrouded all the Twilight City’s troops with a wave of his hand.
They formed a set of armor on their bodies.
Beyond A-rank energy, sand condensation archers.
Then, he turned to look at the hollow crystal ball that the twelve giant blue crystals protected.
Richard could not check the enemy’s attributes.
He made up his mind and quickly approached the half-murloc lord while he withstood the attacks from above.
When the half-murloc lord sensed Richard’s movements, it immediately fell into a frenzy.
The frequency at which it pulled the bow and arrow increased.
Wave after wave of arrows pierced through the lake water and shot out.
However, the thick shield the sand had formed was like a city wall. No arrow could penetrate it.
And even if the enemy broke the shield, Richard could still control the sand to reform.
He used his Beyond A-rank skill to the maximum.
As Richard got closer to the mysterious hollow crystal that the twelve thick shield crystals surrounded, he could feel the power and horror of the space.
It was like he stood at the about-to-erupt volcano mouth. Even his heart trembled.
The more it was so, the more his gaze burned.
Just as he was about to control the sand and take out the mysterious crystal by force …
Suddenly, he felt a warm feeling in his chest.
With a thought, he took out the ancient god statue that was one-third the size of his palm.
He could feel that the ancient god statue gave off a special aura. That feeling was… Desire.
It was like a person who had been hungry for a long time and finally smelled the fragrance of food.
His eyes lit up.
It was a little probing.
He slowly brought the ancient god statue closer to the giant crystal.
Then, a shocking scene appeared.
The ancient god statue emitted a special light that enveloped the surroundings.
After the dim light covered the statue, it destroyed the 12 crystals that contained terrifying energy.
They melted like ice.
Drops of liquid that contained vast spatial power flowed out.
The liquid floated, and all of it fused into the ancient god statue.
The statue was like a sponge while it absorbed water. It devoured everything.
Richard could feel it.
After the statue swallowed the liquid, a part of it became its power. The still-sleeping divine soul absorbed the other parts.
The auras of the two rose rapidly.
Although he wasn’t sure about the value of these treasures, he couldn’t tell their specific attributes.
However, from the energy it contained, it was already priceless.
Not to mention, he had even activated the ancient god statue.
This treasure had once belonged to the evil god.
The last time it was triggered was when he encountered a night elf with divinity.
Richard’s approach failed to move the half-murloc lord to the hollow crystal ball. The half-murloc lord suddenly became horrified when it saw what happened.
“How is this possible? A god left behind that item. Even a demigod couldn’t shake it. How could the enemy devour it?”
It was also because of this unshakeable power used as bait.
“But what was going on now? What did that human do? What was that statue?”
An indescribable fear welled up in its heart. It pointed at Richard and let out a crazy roar.
“Kill him!”
“I want him dead!”
When the half-murlocs heard the order, they immediately charged toward Twilight City’s direction.
The arrows fell like a storm.
‘Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
It tore apart the sand shield above him at a supreme speed.
Richard didn’t panic at all when he saw this.
Hiding in the lake in the sky and attacking was the advantage of the half-murlocs.
But at the same time, it was also their weakness.
As long as Richard’s troops could withstand the arrows of these half-murlocs, it would broadly reduce their threat level.
To the others, it was simply impossible to withstand the salvo of thousands of soldiers.
But he was different.
The yellow sand on the ground was his power.
After the half-murloc lord realized that even the arrows could not stop that damn human, it was defeat.
The eyes of the crown-wearing half-murloc lord turned bloodshot as it quickly took a conch from its waist.
‘Woohoo!’ Woohoo! Woohoo!’
The low voice resounded through the sky and traveled far away.
After a while.
In the lake above their heads, the half-murlocs that madly attacked suddenly showed fear in their eyes and quickly moved away.
Then, an enormous shadow slowly fell on top of their heads.
Richard’s head shot up.
He saw a pair of cold, emotionless eyes staring at him through the lake.
At this moment, he only felt an indescribable sense of danger.
