Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
That human was only level 6 or 7. His strength was so weak that everyone looked down on him.
However, they despise his existence,yet he just swaggered away.
It was as if a hand had slapped their big mouths.
For a moment, Richard drew the hatred between the demon and the angel.
Both sides were so angry that they began to attack the sand crazily.
The magic mace in the Mind Eater Demon’s hand burst out with storm-like magic energy and smashed into the ground.
‘Rumble!’
Countless yellow sand flew, and a hollow pit dozens of meters deep suddenly appeared.
The holy light battle sword in the angel’s hand was like a sun. Endless lights blossomed.
‘Crack!’
The ground shattered.
Sword energies pierced through the yellow sand that shattered even the rock and earth into sieves.
The breath of the templar dragoons could gather.
‘Boom!’
It was like gasoline poured on it, and it instantly exploded.
It drew a tongue of fire that was dozens of meters long.
The yellow sand melted into lava.
This quickly wiped out the sand that was hundreds of meters in diameter under the joint attack of both sides.
When this exposed the rocks on the ground before their eyes, there was still no trace of that human.
When the Mind Eater Demon saw this scene, the fury in its eyes could melt steel.
The angel with the sword of the holy light also had an aura like a raging sea, capable of devouring everything.
He ran away… Not only did he escape under their siege, he even took away the corpses of their companions.
Flames ignited their hearts.
“There’s something strange about that human. I can’t use tracking magic…”
The Mind Eater Demon’s magic spell was ineffective as it glared at the angel.
“It’s all because of this b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Otherwise, that bottle of holy dragon’s blood would only be our only war trophy!”
“I want that human dead!!!”
The two-winged angel with the holy light that radiated in its body turned to look at the templar dragoons behind.
“That human is already under the curse of the holy light. He can only live for ten minutes at most.
“After he dies, it will reveal the blood of the holy dragon without the cover of his blood.
“Lead a small team of troops to find that human and retrieve the blood of the holy dragon!”
As it spoke, it looked at the Mind Eater Demon that could gather magic again. Killing intent filled its eyes that emitted white light.
“Let me remove the evil here!”
A small team of templar dragoons immediately received the order and left.
The two-winged angel immediately brandished its long sword to stop the supreme demon lord that wanted to entangle.
The two sides that had just stopped fighting erupted into a battle that was several times more intense than before.
It vented the humiliation it had suffered from Richard on the other side.
“We would not rest until that human died!”
At this moment, Richard did not know that because of his actions, the number of casualties of the great demons and templar dragoons had increased several times.
Run, run away madly.
After the earth turned into sand, Richard’s perception covered every corner of the sandy land.
The five supreme demons and two giant dragon corpses made his heart almost jump out of his throat.
He steeled his heart.
He controlled the sandy land and dragged the corpses into the yellow sand.
At the same time, he quickly moved from the depths of the earth toward the lake.
The sandy ground covered a large area of the lake.
The lake’s surface couldn’t turn into sand, but the bottom of the lake could.
Fortunately, the sandy ground hindered the terrifying fighting strength of those few, which made him buy precious time.
Before this destroyed the sandy ground, Richard dragged the corpses into the lake.
This time, he didn’t walk to the bottom of the water.
Instead, he directly traveled through the earth.
There was a large amount of sand at the bottom of the lake. Even if he left the area of the sandy land, he still did not encounter any obstacles.
This gave him a lot of room to maneuver.
However, the only pity was that the body of the giant dragon was too big.
Its wingspan was 30 meters. Once it left the sandy land, its speed would become extremely slow. At this rate, he would not be able to go far.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and hid the two dragon bodies in the lake’s depths.
He quickly left with the five relatively small great demons.
At this time, Richard could no longer care about Gunter and the dark gargoyle who waited on the island in the lake.
Gunter had a soul phylactery in his hands. Even if the other party died, they could be resurrected.
As for the dark gargoyle, it did not matter if it died. It could still be resurrected with points. There was nothing to be sad about.
Richard walked through the gravel at the bottom of the lake for a full 20 minutes before he stopped.
It was not that he was safe, but there was a terrifying negative attribute on his status panel — the curse of the holy light. You have been corroded by the holy light, and you are about to die…
When he sank to the ground, the two-winged angel hit him with a terrifying attack.
That thing could not be dodged at all.
“This angel is also an old coin…”
Richard felt his body become weak. He gritted his teeth and used the last of his strength to hide the five supreme demon corpses in the deepest part of the sand.
Then, he felt endless darkness surge over.
His body, which had been in the sand for a long time, turned back into sand and shattered bit by bit…
‘So this is how death feels like.’.
That was Richard’s last thought.
The templar dragoons that flew in the sky suddenly sensed something and became excited.
“The power of the holy light has disappeared… The curse of the holy light had killed the human”
“The blood of the holy dragon is not far away! Keep on looking!”
‘Roar!’
The giant dragon flapped its wings and flew across the lake and the riverbank. It didn’t miss any corner or the gra.s.s…
If they had the power to shatter the earth, they would ultimately dig out the ground around them.
Who knew how long had pa.s.sed?
In his daze, Richard felt the endless darkness light up again.
Then, the sand that had collapsed at the bottom of the lake after his death seemed to have gained life repeatedly.
Sand Regeneration, a Beyond A-rank skill. After death, it would gather sand and revive within ten minutes.
The only flaw of this skill was perhaps its three-day cooldown.
When Richard’s pupils regained focus and control of his body, his surrounding senses reappeared.
He let out a long sigh of relief.
There was also some lingering fear in his eyes.
“A Level-18 Mind Eater Demon, dozens of great demons, and a two-winged angel leading dozens of templar dragoons…
“This A-rank mission is amusingly difficult.
“No wonder Ferguson is willing to raise the stakes so high.
“If it were anyone else, I’m afraid they wouldn’t even have bones left.”
He initially thought that escorting the other party into Templar City was the toughest part of the mission.
However, he did not expect the crystal bottle would lose its suppression once it left the corpse.
Its terrifying draconic aura would be immediately discovered by the other party.
How could he escape the pursuit of the enemy after obtaining the crystal bottle?… This was the toughest part of this mission.
The other party had a great demon that could move through s.p.a.ce, an angel with unparalleled battle strength, a Mind Eater Demon with proficient magic, and templar dragoons extremely familiar with the holy dragon blood in the crystal bottle.
Anyone could make this mission impossible, let alone the four sides combined.
And what was even more vicious was… The curse of the holy light, the death spell that the angel had personally cast.
Even if he escaped the pursuit of the four sides, the spell could still kill him.
It was a sure-death situation, and there was no escape.
“Fortunately, fortunately!!”
Richard let out a long sigh. Turning the earth into sand skill, controlling the yellow sand, and regenerating the sand, these Beyond A-rank skills allowed him to escape from this kind of weird encirclement.
He came back to his senses and thought for a moment,
Although this wave was exceedingly dangerous, and he had almost really lost, in the end, not only did he obtain the mission item. But he also conveniently scooped up five supreme demon corpses and two giant dragon bodies hidden at the bottom of the lake…
Even if Gunter and the dark gargoyles were sacrificed, he still earned back everything.
This wave of missions he risked his life for did not let him lose anything.
If Ferguson’s reward was added to the mix, the first wave of the adventure would have been very profitable.
