345 Chapter 283: Gladiator King [2/2]
[Ding~ You have selected successfully. You can still bring three hero units.]
Richard decided without hesitation.
“God’s ancient tree, Xina, Alves.”
[Ding~ You cannot bring the god’s ancient tree since it is a boss unit. Please replace.]
Richard blinked.
It didn’t make sense he couldn’t bring a boss unit. So he could only prepare heroes?
However, no one responded to him, so he could only replace it.
“Gunter, Alves, Xina.”
Alves’s Beyond A-rank Dragon Breath, Gaunt’s Ball of Corruption and Corpse Explosion, and Xina’s single-target battle strength.
These three heroes all possessed supremely soul-strapping battle abilities. Although they could not compare to the god’s ancient tree, which could take on an entire troop by itself, they were by no means inferior.
[Ding~ You have confirmed your choice. Please wait patiently.]
Richard perked up.
Even though this event limited the number of troops.
However, in terms of quality, Twilight City still had an overwhelming advantage.
Thirty Crown 1-star heroes, 205 Glorious 3-stars heroes, 65 Rare 3-stars heroes, and one Beyond A-rank and two A-rank heroes.
This power was shocking to hear.
‘I wonder how one plays this death arena?
‘Don’t let those dumbass players down.’
While Richard thought of this, he turned his head and glanced at Xina as she held a broken longsword and stood calmly.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
These few heroes alone could defeat several large brigades.
Would those idiots love the joy of being beaten up by a Beyond A-rank hero?
Suddenly, he began to look forward to the opening of the death arena fighting ring.
After Richard made his choice, the other players also chose their most elite units.
They were all full of confidence.
If the players were brought into a large group or even more.
There would be an uneven scene.
However, with only three squadrons, the situation was different.
After a few months of development, those who could make it to the top one million on the ranking board more or less would have impressive troops.
The system would already eliminate the weak ones from the dungeon.
Limiting the number of players would reduce the advantage of the top players, which was the best thing for ordinary players.
As the countdown approached, the players began to discuss it.
[Damn it! After we entered the death arena fighting ring, enemies could still attack our territories… Doesn’t this mean that when we return, there’s a possibility we could lose our homes?]
[I’m sorry. I brought three squadrons of Rare 2-stars star mechanical puppets. Hahaha, that’s how it is! The champion is mine!]
[Holy see, to earn points, I just threw in most of the troops… Why did this bullsh*t death arena choose me? Do you know how expensive it is to use points to revive troops? I’ve even lost out this time. Damn it! It is too much nonsense!]
[Who knows the inside story of this event? Death arena, is it a battle where everyone is fighting and only one person is left?]
[Brothers, whoever meets Qingqiu or the freaks on the ranking board, remember to team up and eliminate them first! We might not stand a chance if we fight alone, but we can achieve outstanding results if we team up!]
[That’s right, let’s go all out. Everyone, kill Qingqiu first, then kill the ranking board!
[That makes sense. Let’s kill Qingqiu first, then kill the ranking board!]
[Kill Qingqiu first, then slaughter the ranking board!]
The exchange of curses against Qingqiu continued…
Not long after, the chosen players formed a common hatred for the enemy.
They were determined to spurn the players on the ranking board.
As the main villain, Qingqiu naturally received the most attention, and there was even an anti-Qingqiu alliance that encouraged the atmosphere.
The [Forum Chat] immediately became lively.
Richard chuckled at the idiotic fools that tattled around.
‘They didn’t even know the rules of the death arena. So what was the use of shouting their slogan now?
‘A motley crowd.’
When Richard recollected his thoughts, he waved his hand to call for gray-haired butler Karu and Gray.
He told them about his plan to bring his troops into the death arena fighting ring.
Finally, he warned.
“Gray, you’ll be in charge of the troops and guards when we leave. Karu, you’ll manage the residents and maintain production.
“We must guard the city strictly. There might be other lords that would attack Twilight City. We must not allow any siege to happen!
“Yes, Lord.”
The two immediately agreed.
After a brief explanation, Richard thought for a moment, then got up and went to the quicksand.
The god’s ancient tree still consumed the majestic energy it had just devoured.
One could not ignore the boss’s dark glow.
The transformation continued…
He opened its attribute panel and glanced.
[Status: Transformation progress 10%.]
Richard’s brow furrowed.
Previously, it was 5%. After it slaughtered several enemies, it only increased by 5%.
The difficulty of the upgrade exceeded his tone.
‘At this speed, how many enemies would the god’s ancient tree needs to devour to complete its transformation?’
Just the thought of it made his scalp tingle.
“We still have to get the Divine Blood of the Dark God. Otherwise, if we don’t spend enough time in this instance dungeon, the god’s ancient tree’s transformation will likely fail on the verge of success.”
In this instance dungeon was not on the central plane, so he didn’t know how long it would last.
The last instance dungeon was a month-long, but who could be sure that this time would not be 20 days or even shorter?
One couldn’t miss this once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity to transform.
Furthermore, the black-robed merchant had mentioned that using the Divine Blood of the Dark God would have a chance to activate the power of the abomination in the other party’s body.
The source of the god’s ancient tree’s power was the divine sins’ flesh and blood it devoured.
Abominations were terrifying existences that could kill gods.
Its value would be immeasurable if it could activate the power to kill gods.
No one could resist this temptation.
Richard shook his head and stopped thinking.
“Let’s not talk about anything else first. There is only one important thing at the moment… Before the next black-robed merchant comes, we will try to earn as many points as possible.”
“Lord…”
When the god’s ancient tree sensed Richard’s presence, it spoke in a low, muffled voice.
The giant twisted human-faced tree trunk was quite scary.
Richard nodded and repeated what happened in the arena. He looked around at the space and suddenly had an idea.
“Treebeard, if the enemies attack Twilight City, you must immediately go to the rescue.
“When there are no enemies, you can attack the nearby spatial gaps, hunt the void hunters, and obtain the dark energy of the transformation.
For the time being, no void lickers would appear in the spatial rift, so to guard here was a waste of time.
It was better to let this boss clear out the enemies and earn points for its lord.
The god’s ancient tree had the power to do so.
As the ceiling of the battle power of the Twilight City, this boss was equivalent to a troop.
“As you wish…”
“Yes!” The god’s ancient tree answered rather excitedly.
It had a deeper understanding of its transformation.
The feeling of its bloodline that improved was irresistible.
After a dull sound.
“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”
The venomous wasp that hid in the land of quicksand flapped its wings and flew out.
In an instant, it formed a soul-strapping black cloud in the air.
It then quickly flew to the top of the tree and stopped there.
From a distance, it was as if the god’s ancient tree had grown leaves.
With the protection of these 3,000 Rare 3-stars venomous wasps, this boss could starkly destroy the monster stronghold.
He was so overbearing.
Richard didn’t stay any longer and returned to Twilight City.
This boss’s intelligence was no worse than a human’s, so it was enough to give a general direction.
They quietly waited on the city wall until 00:00 am.
The system notification rang out as promised.
[Ding~ The system has opened the death arena fighting ring.]
[The top one million players on the ranking board will participate in the death battles.]
[Death gladiators are in group of 100.]
[The system will randomly send each group to a distinct area, where they will fight and kill each other.]
[Each group only has ten advancement slots. It will hold the test every hour. If fewer than ten people are left, you can advance to the next round.]
[The Lord who kills the most opponents in each group will get extra rewards. The top three will get five, three, and two points, respectively. The fourth to tenth will get one point.]
[You can exchange the points for rewards when you leave the death arena fighting ring.]
[Killing other overlords in the death arena fighting ring will also earn you ordinary points.]
[The soldiers and the lord who died in the arena will automatically revive when they leave the fighting ring.]
[The lord promoted to the next round will also revive all the dead troops.]
[In a distinct area of the arena, all kinds of powerful bosses will appear. Please be careful.]
[There are no rules in the death arena. The winner is king.]
[The final winner of the death arena will receive a generous reward and the remarkable title of the King of Gladiator.]
[Every death arena will turn on the live broadcast function. Lords not participating in the battle can watch the live broadcast, but lords who will cannot check the attributes of the gladiator or can not contact it.]
[Announcement completed. Death arena fighting ring, opening…]
