Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord Chapter 52 The Unprecedented Beast Tide

52 The Unprecedented Beast Tide
For every 10 levels, Xu Yuan received a Skill Enhancement Point. This time, Xu Yuan was considering which skill to enhance.
As Xu Yuan hesitated, Su Wan called out to him to help her in the tournament. He knew which skill he needed to enhance.
He heard Su Wan’s voice. “Xu Yuan. Bad news. There seems to be a large beast tide in the Overlord Plane. It will affect us as well.”
Su Wan had received the news about an unprecedented beast tide that was about to swarm toward them. All the Lords needed to be prepared.
“What?” Xu Yuan raised his head and looked at Su Wan. He thought she was making a fuss for nothing.
However, Su Wan looked troubled. “I just received the news. The Boss, Dark Dragon King, has appeared in an area which is to the North of our territory!”
The Dark Dragon King might have scared the other magical beasts, hence the beast tide towards their territory.
The Dark Dragon King was a Level 90 Boss. Its equal opponent would be a Legendary Lord. Legendary Lords were too rare on the Blue Planet!
“Dark Dragon King?” said Xu Yuan. The other opponent also being a dragon like himself gave him some ideas. “Hmm…”
Su Wan looked at him and shook her head. “Xu Yuan, this is not the time to be impressed. The Dark Dragon King is something that we can’t deal with. Not at our current state anyway. We should thank the heavens if we survive this beast tide.”
“You can use your auxiliary ability to strengthen the Golden Behemoth, right?” asked Su Wan. She was now certain that the Black Gold behemoth had something to do with Xu Yuan. If he agreed, the beast tide would be easier to deal with.
Meanwhile, Xu Yuan weighed the pros and cons. The beast tide would mean a lot of experience accumulation if he managed to fight them. He could upgrade to Level 59 in a very short time.
Xu Yuan was struggling to figure out which skill to enhance. With the unprecedented beast tide, he suddenly had an idea. He strengthened Night Shift to Level 3.
[Night Shift LVL 3: As a Dark Demon Dragon, energy of the night can be converted to power. During the night, experience will be automatically gained at all times. The amount of experience gained will increase according to the current skill level.]
[Level 3 effect: all experience gained during sleep X10]
Xu Yuan smiled. The beast tide was incoming, with a huge number of experience points.
Now that the Night Shift was upgraded to Level 3, he only needed to eliminate the beast tide. ‘I have to go back to my previous habit of sleeping,’ thought Xu Yuan. Only then would his experience points be increased by tenfold.
That meant that he couldn’t fight the beast tide himself. He needed the Golden Behemoth to kill every beast while he slept. Only then would he be able to multiply his experience points by ten.
Su Wan didn’t know what Xu Yuan was planning but when she saw him smile in a sinister way, she felt a chill down her spine. She thought that Fraud Xu was planning to scam people again!
“Xu Yuan! This beast tide is no joke. Don’t you dare trick me this time!”
Su Wan told him not to scam her again and he promised he wouldn’t.
She wanted to fortify her territory to prepare for the incoming beast tide. She wanted to build city walls and guard towers.
Just as Su Wan was halfway through building the city walls, she found out that she didn’t have enough resources.
‘But we just killed the Man-Eating Ant Emperor! We received a lot of resources from that. How did it run out suddenly?!’ Su Wan thought anxiously.
She realized that her territory was now shrouded in black mist, blocking the clear sky. A small castle appeared in front of her. ‘That’s… a Level 2 Hall, the Dark Castle! Did Fraud Xu upgrade it without my permission again?’
“Xu Yuan!” Su Wan wasn’t angry this time. She approached Xu Yuan calmly. “Do you have any other motive for doing this? You can discuss it with me, you know? I won’t refuse if you just tell me why you do what you do.”
From the previous incidents, Su Wan had learnt that whatever Xu Yuan did, he always had a good reason behind. Therefore, she believed that Xu Yuan, most likely, had a plan and wasn’t just squandering resources for fun.
Su Wan’s guess was close enough.
Xu Yuan had a good reason for upgrading the Territory Hall to a Dark Castle. He couldn’t fight the beast himself, so he needed Skeleton Knights, Dark Goblins, Hellhounds, and Golden behemoths to do it for him. The troops had never fought against such enemies before but if Xu Yuan did it himself, the experience points wouldn’t increase tenfold.
Therefore, he had an idea. When he studied his abilities, he found that Demonic Dragon’s Blessing had a link with Level 2 Dark Castle.
If Xu Yuan remained in the dark Castle and activated the Demonic Dragon’s Blessing, he would be able to cover the entire territory and raise the ranks of all the troops by one level. The effect would last until every last dark energy ran out.
The advantage of this was that the magic would last for a long time as long as Xu Yuan’s dark energy wasn’t exhausted.
The ordinary Demonic Dragon’s Blessing usually only lasted for ten or twenty minutes . But this method could allow more time.
However, one drawback in this method was that Xu Yuan couldn’t leave the territory. If he did, the effectiveness of the ability would be lost.
This method was only suitable for defense. This was the reason Xu Yuan had upgraded the Territory Hall to the Dark Castle.
It didn’t matter if there were city walls or not, if the enemy entered the territory, the troops would be ready to defend. The Demonic Dragon’s Blessing and the Dark Castle would increase the ranks of the troops by one level.
With the increase in attributes with the Demonic Dragon’s Blessing and Lord of Darkness abilities, all Dark-Type creatures could consume dark energy to revive quickly. They would definitely be able to defend the territory!
Xu Yuan didn’t tell Su Wan anything. He thought that if she knew about his abilities, she would ask him to enhance whichever ability she wanted. That would be troublesome.
So, he didn’t say anything. He just looked at her innocently. That seemed to work every time.
Su Wan and Xu Yuan didn’t have time to prepare for long. They heard a tremor in the distance. The beast tide was coming!
