With the surge of magic power, the scene gradually changed.
The corpse of the great demon began to melt. It turned into pale skeletons without flesh and blood. This scene was shocking.
Unlike the skeleton blood dragon, the skeleton of the great demon did not turn blood red. Instead, it became even paler.
It was like the already faded clothes had been rinsed. There was an unnatural sense of horror.
After the flesh and blood disappeared, the other side of the great demon gradually revealed itself.
The elbows, ankles, shoulders… Almost all the parts that could launch an attack revealed sinister barbs.
The cold light that flickered was enough to make Richard’s heart tremble.
The most eye-catching thing was the three sharp claws in its hand. They were countless times sharper than a razor.
Even dragon scales would not be able to block its sharpness.
Richard keenly observed. Gray’s dark blue energy suppressed Gunter’s blood-red energy, enveloping four of the five supreme demon corpses.
Gunter’s blood-colored energy had only been converted to one.
At the same time, the two A-rank heroes frantically infused magic energy into the corpses.
An additional feature added magic energy to increase the ability to convert soldiers’ strength after the corpse conversion skill had been upgraded to A-rank.
However, the bodies of the supreme demons contained abounding power, and their magic energy only served as a catalyst…
The transformation continued for a few minutes until it finally reached a certain threshold.
‘Boom!’
Soul flames suddenly ignited in the empty heads of the five supreme demons.
A new undead life was born at this moment.
[Ding~ Twilight City’s hero, Gray, has recruited a special troop from the dragon’s corpse: skeleton blood dragon. Due to the special nature of the troop, it has been solidified into the hero’s special ability. In the future, you can recruit other similar troop types from the demon’s corpse.]
[Ding~ Your hero Gunter has recruited a type of soldier from the supreme demon’s corpse — Glorious 1-star soldier, skeleton demon.”
As the system notification sounded, the five newborn skeleton demons slowly stood up.
Even without flesh and blood, just their ferocious skeletons and sharp barbs at their joints still gave people a strapping pressure.
Glorious-level soldiers.
Richard’s mood instantly soared!
Gunter solidified skeleton blood dragon soldier and Gray solidified skeleton demon soldier.
It was simply perfect.
The dragon and demon would both be on his kill list in the future.
After he took a deep breath, he opened the opponent’s attributes panel.
[Skeleton Demon]
[Level: 10]
[Potential: Glorious 1-star]
[Skills: Spatial Movement (A-rank) — Consumes soul power. Freely traversing through space. The further one traverses, the more soul power is consumed.]
[Piercing Claw (A-rank) — Adds space power to the claw, causing it to be able to break through armor and magic.]
[Race Talent: After the body is damaged, soul power can be consumed to quickly recover.]
[Space Affinity: Has an exceedingly strong accord to space power.]
[Description: An undead that was born on the corpse of a supreme demon. It has retained the supreme demon’s sturdiest skill.]
The skeleton demon’s attributes were unexpectedly simple. It only had two skills.
However, because of its crucial skill — Spatial Movement, it had retained its battle power. Therefore, its battle power was still immensely splendid.
That was especially so when combined with the opponent’s terrifying attack power that could forcefully break armor and shield.
The damage it could cause would surely not be weaker than the skeleton blood dragon.
Richard was in a zenith humor.
These were five level 10 glorious troops that were proficient in spatial power. Their battle strength was not inferior to the two A-rank heroes.
While Richard waved his hand, he summoned all the newly recruited troops.
The yellow sand light emitted from his body and enveloped everyone.
Following that, a system notification sounded.
[These troops had simultaneously obtained the Twilight City’s signature skill — Sand Transformation.]
Their strength had increased by a whole level.
And the skeleton demon, which possessed Spatial Movement and powerful attacks, coupled with Sand Transformation, this soldier could be described as incomparably tyrannical.
He looked forward to the performance of this soldier in the future. If its performance on the battlefield were as strong as he thought it would be.
In the future, he would invest additional resources into this soldier to expand it.
The same was true for the skeleton demon and skeleton blood dragon.
Actual battle was always the standard to test everything.
After Richard had done all this, he looked at the two mummy heroes.
His eyes revealed some exhiliration.
“Assemble the troop and hunt the god’s ancient tree!”
He already took in his bag the boss he had once could not touch!
The moment he saw the dark contract in the Scarlet Council treasure warehouse, he designed the god’s ancient tree destined to become his hunting target.
Twilight City also lacked air defense.
To bring the god’s ancient tree back could make up for this gap to a large extent.
To hunt this boss did not require a colossal troop.
The human sea tactic was simply useless against the god’s ancient tree. The enemy’s large body could crush the weak troops like ants.
Richard only planned to bring elites this time.
First, he had to choose the targets — two powerful A-rank heroes — Gunter and Gray.
Then, there were five Crown 1-star skeleton demons, and one skeleton blood dragon.
In addition, 12 teams of dark gargoyles had to follow.
There were also four teams of rare-level undead soldiers and eight team of sand condensation archers.
There were nearly 25 teams of troops.
The other troops were all left to guard the territory.
“Lord, how are we going to deal with that human-faced giant tree?”
When it saw the god’s ancient tree strike the earth, the sound it created was like an aftershock. Gray was a little solemn.
The impact that the boss had brought was enormously profound.
Richard gave the other party a deep look.
“I already have the plan to deal with this problem.”
As he spoke, he looked at the troop ordered to stay.
“The sand condensation archers will form a group of two, and the undead soldiers of the Axe of the Dead will form a group of one. They would each ride on the dark gargoyles.”
After Richard gave the order, the troop did not hesitate and immediately began to move.
Richard took the opportunity to speak.
“Gray, what is the most powerful part of the god’s ancient tree?”
The mummy hero thought for a moment before it answered.
“It has several poisonous wasps, and its close battle ability is extremely sturdy…”
Richard smiled and did not comment.
“What about its weakness?”
“Weakness?”
Gray fell into deep thought. After a long while, it looked at the troop gradually. It gradually rode on the back of the dark gargoyle, and suddenly thought of something.
“The troop you brought is all long-range attacks… The greatest weakness of the god’s ancient tree is that it doesn’t have long-range attacks?”
Richard nodded.
“You’re half right. Every life has its own weakness, and the god’s ancient tree is no exception.
“No matter how strong it is, it can’t escape this basic rule…
“What is the weakness of the tree?”
After Richard asked the question, he saw the troop had already gathered. He did not wait for Gray to answer. He stepped forward and began to size it up.
Although the dark gargoyle was not a type of troop suitable for riding.
However, the opponent’s back was immensely extensive. To temporarily act as mount wouldn’t be a problem.
While Richard looked at the undead soldiers of the Axe of the Dead and the sand condensation archers sat on the back of the dark gargoyle, he smiled faintly.
Didn’t Twilight City have a long-range air force?
What was the biggest weakness of the tree?…
“Tomorrow morning, we will gather in the same way as now.”
The following day was July 2, at 9 am.
The troop was ready to set off.
Because there was no ground troop to hold them back, they moved enormously fast.
The area of rubble that had been hit by the earthquake appeared in front of them in less than an hour.
There was not a single sign of life on the devastated land.
Meanwhile, the god’s ancient tree in the central area had already run away.
All that was left was a vast pit.
There were distinct footprints in the direction the other party had left until the traces in the desert gradually disappeared.
Gunter used his special senses to find the blood-colored mummy that had stayed behind to monitor the god’s ancient tree.
After a round of questions, it continued to chase in the northwest direction.
After that, it could see a blood-colored mummy half buried in the gravel as a road sign at intervals along the road.
These undead creatures carried out the original order completely.
1 o’clock, noon.
Richard looked at the colossal figure rooted in the ground in an oasis in front of him. And his face revealed some enthusiasm.
He had found his target.
‘Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!’
In this place, they could hear the sound of the poisonous wasps flapping their wings from a great distance.
Richard was not in a rush to make a move. So, he let the troops land on the sand and hide.
He flew up to a higher sky alone.
He looked at the oasis where the god’s ancient tree was from a distance, but what surprised him was that.
The area in front of him that should have been an oasis had now become a blood lake.
A large number of corpses floated on the water surface.
It looked like a blood pool in the abys. And it was indeed horrifying.
After he passed through the blood pool, he focused attention on his final target — the god’s ancient tree.
Other than a large number of poisonous wasps flying around it, the thing that attracted his attention the most at this moment was a golden fruit on the top of the dried tree fork emitting a unique and alluring aura.
Even hundreds of meters away, he could pronouncedly sense that it was extraordinary.
But the moment his heart moved, his heart thumped.
That thing was sublimely perilous.
Just as he was astonished, a group of desert gnolls suddenly appeared in his line of sight.
Those monsters rushed excitedly into the blood pool oasis. After they smelled the special aura in the air, their eyes turned red.
The gnolls directly rushed toward the god’d ancient tree.
Their expressions were like drug addicts that had seen powder. They almost gone crazy.
But the moment they entered the oasis…
‘Sizzle…’
Dozens of roots suddenly stretched out from the lake, splashed water and dragged them into the blood pond.
The crazy gnolls had no time to react at all. The whole process happened quickly.
‘Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!’
Bubbles appeared on the surface of the blood-colored lake.
Not long after, a few new corpses floated up.
Richard was quite surprised.
“This tree…is fishing?”
