“Level 18 Boss?!!”
Richard could feel the aura emanating from the Fire Elemental Lord, and his breathing stopped.
The pressure from the Fire Elemental Lord was much stronger than the G.o.d’s ancient tree, which could breed poisonous wasps.
‘Crash!’
Just as the Fire Elemental Lord climbed out of the furnace, the sound of countless iron chains that sharply clashed audibly surrounded the battle area.
Countless energy chains that flashed azure light appeared above the Fire Elemental Lord. It forcefully trapped the Level-18 Boss that tried to climb out of the furnace.
‘Roar!’
The Fire Elemental Lord ejected forth a hysterical roar. Countless blue runes surged that released firework-like light.
No matter how hard it struggled, it could not break through the chains… In the end, it could only watch unwillingly as Starlight City troops entered the tunnel.
‘Whoosh!’
A fireball with a long flame tail smashed at the tunnel’s entrance.
The Fire Elemental Lord could not leave the seal, but the other free-moving fire elementals that appeared from the furnace launched the attack.
‘Bang!’
The flames exploded, and a scorching high temperature instantly surged up.
The narrow tunnel became a vent for the high temperature. The two gargoyles at the back suddenly spread their wings and forcibly blocked the flames.
The flames behind them still exploded. Dozens of fire elemental life forms were enough to carry out a continuous fireball bombardment.
The hundred-meter-long pa.s.sage quickly came to an end after running at high speed. Richard’s sight suddenly widened.
It was another hall a few times larger than the first one. Colorful murals carved on the sky dome made it magnificent and imposing.
However, Richard was not interested in these things at the moment. After he made sure no enemies were in the hall, he immediately gave the order.
“Avoid the front of the tunnel. Be careful of the fireb.a.l.l.s released by the fire elementals!
“The dark gargoyles will be the main force. Don’t let those fire elementals break in!
“The Axe of the Dead will be standing on the side. As soon as the enemies show their heads, attack immediately!
“Gray, Gunter, take the Cursed Pharaoh with the Axe of the Dead.”
Fortunately, this pa.s.sage was relatively narrow, so the fire elementals could not pa.s.s through. It made Twilight City troops to better deal with the elementals at the same time.
Luckily, the fearsome Fire Elemental Lord was imprisoned in the furnace. Or else, it would have to overturn the battle troops today.
The attributes of the Level 18 Boss were all unknown. This was not something Richard could deal with now.
“What was the origin of this ruin in the past? To be able to casually imprison a Level 18 Fire Elemental Lord as fuel… What a big deal.”
While Richard was deep in thought, a fireball suddenly flew out from the tunnel in front.
Four teams of dark gargoyles guarded the front tightly. One of them suddenly swung its fist and directly hit the fireball.
‘Bang!’
The flames erupted and enveloped the surrounding dark gargoyles.
However, after the flames subsided, the dark gargoyles’ bodies still reflected light and were not affected in the slightest.
They were overbearing and powerful.
Magic-immune units just didn’t make sense.
If it were not for fire elementals’ physical damage immunity, these dark gargoyles could decide the tide of the battle.
‘Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!’
Fireb.a.l.l.s incessantly flew out. After the explosions, the surrounding temperature rose rapidly.
Meanwhile, the light in the tunnel became increasingly hot. The figure of the fire elementals appeared in the gargoyles’ sight.
‘Whoosh!’
The undead soldiers of the Axe of the Dead troop immediately launched an attack after waiting for a long time.
The tomahawks in their hands flew out with the power to shatter the city wall.
‘Whoosh!’
The sound of the chains was the murmur of death.
One fire elemental failed to dodge when it sensed the undead soldier’s attack and impulsively exposed its head.
‘Boom!’
Elemental life forms were immune to physical damage, but the power condensed tomahawk dealt magic damage.
The tomahawk pierced through the fire elemental’s body. The body that exuded melting steel-like temperature trembled. It was like something severed the soul apart, and its breath instantly extinguished.
‘Crack!’
The body collapsed to the ground and shattered like gla.s.s.
The flames gradually extinguished, and pieces of pitch-black ore-like objects appeared.
Richard’s eyes were sharp. He saw a ray of light flash through the fire elemental’s body which was more dazzling than gemstones.
But before Richard could keenly observe, more flame elements surged over.
The Axe of the Dead guarded the cave’s entrance. The whistling sound of the tomahawk became the whisper of death.
The Twilight City troops immediately killed on the spot those fire elementals.
‘Kacha!’
Another fire elemental’s body shattered, and a unique fiery-red gemstone fell.
[Ding~ You have smashed sugar palm. You hit the ground and bounced up high.]
Richard’s eyes lit up as he opened his attribute panel.
[Fire Elemental Core]
[Level: 1-star]
[Characteristics: A magic item that can enchant items or equipment giving them fire damage.]
[Description: An item that can only be born from the fire element.]
“1-star treasure?
“Fire elemental core?
“Can someone enchant items and equipment?”
A strong sense of surprise surged into Richard’s heart.
‘Was killing monsters and dropping equipment the genuine way to open this ruin?’
When Richard made a discovery, the battle became more intense. The fire elementals almost broke through the defense line several times.
After Gray and Gunter joined the battle, the situation began to change.
Once the Axe of the Dead could not suppress the fire elementals, the two mummy heroes would act in time.
The situation gradually stabilized.
At this moment. ‘Kacha! Kacha!’
The sound of mechanical footsteps came from another tunnel.
Richard’s expression changed. He turned around abruptly.
“Magic puppet?!!
“Poison Scorpion Warrior, Bandaged Mummy, guard that tunnel!”
After he said that, he was still worried. He transferred two teams of dark gargoyles from the already stable fire elemental tunnel to go forward.
The troop had just formed.
The sound of mechanical footsteps approached quickly under the dim light of the magic lamp.
After a few breaths, several magic puppets appeared in his sight.
Richard’s eyes focused. He found this batch of magic puppets mixed with several four-armed magic puppets.
From the appearance of these magical creations that emitted faint-silver radiance were p.r.o.nouncedly more advanced.
He opened his stats panel and gazed.
[Level: 7]
[Potential: Rare 2-stars]
Other skills were almost the same as Rare 1-star magic puppets.
However, their skill level and various attributes had increased significantly.
Richard’s expression was solemn.
“Block the pa.s.sage, don’t let any magic puppets escape!”
As his voice fell, the four-armed magic puppet extended out sharp blades.
The silver-white rare-level four-armed magic puppet flicked out battle blades.
One did not need to experience it to know that one should never underestimate this magic puppet’s destructive power.
The enemy was fierce.
But Twilight City troops know no fear.
The Poisonous Scorpion Warrior directly charged forward.
Their iron pincers clashed head-on with the magic puppet’s sharp blades.
In an instant, sparks flew in all directions.
‘Clang! Clang!
The metal crash resounded in everyone’s ears.
The scorpion warrior only felt a vast force that could destroy the city wall surge over. It took three steps back before it could barely stop itself.
The potential of the magic puppet was a vast level higher than the scorpion warrior, and its strength was much mightier.
Its edge forcefully suppressed the fierce scorpion warriors.
It began to retreat step by step.
When Richard saw this, he decisively changed his strategy.
“Dark gargoyles, take over the battle! The rest of the soldiers that haven’t activated the Sand Transformation take turns to advance! The main task is to drag out!”
The Axe of the Dead was the primary force in killing the magic puppets, but they had to deal with the more difficult fire elementals.
As long as they could spare a hand, these magic puppets would be severed to pieces!
The battle continued.
The number of magic puppets in the pa.s.sage was almost endless, and an increasing number of fire elementals surged out from the smelting room.
This Resplendent Wizard Tower was once incomparably glorious. Even if yellow sand swallowed it for hundreds of thousands of years, it still had a startling power guard.
Richard commanded the battle on both sides with high intensity under the enemies’ backs.
He was both in pain and joy at this moment.
Every time he defeats a magic puppet, e would obtain a few units of rare resources—gemstones.
And every time he killed a fire elemental, he would obtain a 1-star treasure—the fire elemental core.
