Richard felt his surroundings turned blurry because the pocket dimension still collapsed.
The imaginary figure that the kobold god had condensed wantonly exuded divine might.
The space became sluggish, and the energy solidified.
The phantom had a pair of scarlet eyes. He was like a giant beast that could swallow the sky in a dark and chaotic environment. It was breathtaking.
The shadow, which had shrunk to more than 30 meters, now floated on the island.
The beast looked down.
The kobold god’s hatred for Richard was so deep that even the waters of three rivers and five lakes couldn’t wash it away!
Previously, Richard attacked the kobold god with the remains of the ancient gods. It caused him to lose his power and divinity. Now, Richard smashed his statue into pieces the other camp’s gods–after he stopped him from leaving.
“Damn, blasphemer!”
“Lowly bastard!”
Richard looked down at the lonely and helpless figure.
A strong sense of revenge welled up in his heart.
“Lowly, filthy human, do you feel fear now?”
“Blasphemer, beg for mercy in your despair! My fury will burn everything you have into ashes!”
Richard looked at the shadow while it constantly distorted with an indifferent gaze.
The beast’s divine surge might press him down, but he didn’t feel much.
He had once bathed in the blood of the holy dragon in the first instance dungeon and had exceptional skill.
[Dragon’s Strength (Special) — The dragon’s blood has cleansed your body and has become extremely strong. Defense increased by 300%, and strength increased by 500%. Immune to poison, plague, instant death skills, and aura-type pressure.]
In addition to the Growth Skill, Yellow Sand Halo, the effect of the divine might on him was reduced to the minimum.
“So what if the other party was a god?”
A mere phantom wanted him to bow his head?
“Are you done?”
Richard slowly took out the ancient god statue.
A dark light suddenly burst out with a thought and instantly protected him.
It forcefully blocked the terrifying divine might.
The statue’s aura gradually became more active when it sensed the distorted shadow.
It was like a hunter who had smelled the stench of his prey.
That nonchalant tone caused the dog-headed god to stop in his tracks, and the words of the gods exploded like rolling thunder.
“Lowly human lord, you will regret your actions for life!!”
“Do you think you can still borrow the power of the ancient gods?”
His bright-as-sun scarlet eyes suddenly dimmed after he finished speaking.
Its breaths in between released endless dark energy.
It wiped the last bit of light in the space away.
Even space froze after the darkness enveloped the world.
Endless darkness froze the ghostly light the ancient god statue emitted and could not spread any further.
“The Elanubi gemstone is a remnant of the past. I’ve prepared it, especially for you, lowly blasphemer!”
Richard’s eyes narrowed.
This kobold god had probably planned how to get rid of Twilight City all this time…
However, just as he was about to release the extraordinary hunter and start the second plan…
A subtle expression suddenly appeared on his face.
At this moment, he quietly sensed it.
As the pocket dimension had already collapsed, it gathered all the energy that previously existed near the floating island.
What was more coincidental was that after the dog-headed god controlled the mysterious ancient gemstone, he transformed all the energy around him into dark energy.
“The darkness…”
He felt that the darkness flowed around him as he muttered this word.
The corners of his mouth curled up into a mocking arc.
With a thought.
It activated The King of Darkness’ crown on his head and the King of Darkness’ cape on his back. It quickly erupted endless energy.
After two breaths.
The dog-headed god’s distorted shadow suddenly realized that everything around him was beyond his control.
It was like a fish in his hand broke free from its restraints and fell back into the water because of its slippery mucus…
Fear rose to the kobold god’s heart.
“Blasphemer! What have you done?”
The King of Darkness cape’s additional skill–Darkness Descends.
[Darkness Descends]
[With the user as the center, a 500-meter radius will be plunged into absolute darkness. It will compress the enemy’s vision and perception to a 10-meter radius. The user can control the power of darkness and teleport without limit.]
[Collect two legendary pieces of equipment to activate skill–When in a dark environment, the user can control the darkness within a 300-meter radius around the user and materialize.]
The collapse of the instance dungeon caused the space to shrink rapidly. It simultaneously plunged everything into darkness.
The kobold god used the two mysterious primeval gemstones to condense the darkness … With all these factors added together, the skills attached to this legendary equipment were instantly enhanced by ten to a hundred times.
On the isolated island, the primary and secondary positions had changed.
He could feel the power around him that was many times more terrifying than a magma eruption.
Richard’s eyes glinted with surprise.
The horror of legendary equipment had exceeded his expectations …
He looked at the virtual shadow of the kobold god isolated by the darkness while he collected his thoughts, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a cold arc.
“Now, have you decided to die like this?”
The ancient god statue in his hand again released a radiant dark light as soon as he finished speaking, and the ancient aura surged again.
At the same time, an illusory shadow elf condensed out of thin air.
Divine soul.
Renee, dig out this dog’s eyeballs…
This top-notch battle force that was not afraid of death instantly disappeared when she heard the order.
Due to the collapse of the rules, the main body of the kobold god could no longer put in more divine power while being so far away from the primary plane.
The energy that had just suppressed the ancient god statue quickly became a cage that imprisoned the other party after he controlled the thick darkness.
One could turn the darkness into a substance by controlling it.
An invisible force currently imprisoned the almost 100-meter-tall god’s apparition.
The kobold god struggled madly, but he could not shake the darkness that he condensed.
Renee suddenly appeared a hundred meters away from the shadow.
She reached out and took down the exquisite longsword carved with complicated patterns from her back.
Full draw.
An arrow emitted a deadly aura condensed out of thin air.
[Death Hunt]
[Low-level Divine Spell]
[Picks a target within 500 meters and uses the power of the soul to form an arrow of death. It will hit the target’s soul. Every cast consumes 20 points of divine power.]
‘Whoosh!’
The arrow streaked across the sky and pierced the god’s shadow imprisoned in the darkness.
‘Roar!’
The soul-tearing pain caused the shadow to cry out a deafening roar…
The dog-headed god could no longer endure the injury.
The 100-meter-tall shadow suddenly shrank to 70 meters, and its body exploded with endless energy.
A storm of destructive energy swept out in all directions.
‘Crack!’
Renee wanted to use Spatial Movement to get past the energy, but the attack was like a tide she could not cross.
The moment she appeared from space, her body shattered, and she died instantly.
Richard tried to control the dark energy around her but to no avail.
It was the explosion of divine power, the power of rules.
‘Whoosh!’
The terrifying energy crushed everything in its path and washed over Richard.
The next moment.
The King of Darkness cape on his back emitted a faint light.
The terrifying attack that caused Renee’s immediate death was like a gentle breeze that brushed past his face and did cause him any damage.
[Absolute defense, able to form a shield of darkness that can block any skill attack.]
[Cooldown Time: 30 minutes.]
The skill of the legendary cape blocked the terrifying damage.
The divine specter temporarily broke through the darkness and regained its senses. The kobold god suddenly realized that Richard’s presence hadn’t died.
He was instantly furious!
His divine power surged again.
Renee returned to life from the ancient god statue with a wave of Richard’s hand.
It has fully drawn the longsword in her hand again.
[Death Hunt]
‘Puchi!’
The shadow became faint.
Renee didn’t hesitate to use a drop of divinity to recover her divine power to the maximum.
She drew the bow continuously.
Renee would keep the remaining three points of divinity to weekly gains for the seed of the world tree to cope with the battle.
Now, she used up the three points of divinity in less than ten seconds.
In addition to her original 40 points of divine power, she had 120 points, and the god’s phantom had suffered six Death Hunts.
In addition to the big move she had released that time, the other party’s aura had changed from insufferably arrogant to erratic.
It seemed like it would collapse at any moment.
The cage of darkness had completely compressed god’s shadow in place.
He could no longer break free.
The dog-headed god had not expected such vast change will occur even though he had thought he had prepared well.
Richard’s manipulation of the darkness was even more challenging to accept.
Last time, the other party had used a damaged mechanical puppet to fight with him. This time, the other party could use his strength to restrict him. The speed of this blasphemer’s growth gave rise to an exceptionally soul-devouring killing intent in him.
Richard looked at the shadow that had weakened to a certain extent and tightly held the ancient god statue.
Richard suddenly had a crazy idea when the enemy could not break free… He wondered if he could imprison its apparition.
“Wasn’t he a god? Perhaps, there was nothing crazier than using a god as a research subject in this world.”
“Even if the other party’s apparition only had a wisp of soul.”
“However, was it not enough?”
The Crimson Moon, whose location was unknown, could make the gods fear.
“Why didn’t he give him his gift?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to let them research the God of kobolds?”
“Moreover, what kind of benefits could he get in exchange for the soul of a god?”
After this thought rose, it spread like wild grass.
There was a space within the ancient god statue. Previously, it could make the souls of gods fall into a deep sleep and transform.
The ancient god statue became extremely strong after it absorbed the energy of the land of the broken land.
There was no need to worry about being broken free. Furthermore, the ancient god statues fed on gods, and they were the natural nemesis of the other party.
But now, the biggest problem was to get the other party’s shadow into the ancient god statue.
First, weaken, then absorb!
His eyes narrowed.
He directly controlled the solidified darkness and sent the ancient god statue above the god’s shadow.
As it approached the shadow, the light of the ancient god statue instantly exploded, like a hungry shark that smelled the scent of blood.
The dim light directly eroded the divine power of the shadow.
Richard could sense the ancient god statue grew mightier while the shadow of the god in the dark prison weakened.
“Damned bastard!!”
The dog-headed god cried out a wolf’s roar when the situation from before reappeared.
His aura instantly rose by a hundred times.
The pair of dark eyes suddenly lit up, and the scarlet light reappeared after it forcefully broke free from the prison.
“શાપ,મૃત્યુઅનેઅંધકાર!”
An indescribable terrifying incantation sounded.
Scarlet energy bloomed in his eyes.
He charged straight at Richard.
Richard could only feel a terrible sense of danger.
Death murmured in his ears.
His figure instantly disappeared.
He can move in the darkness without limit.
However, not only did the terrifying aura of death not disappear, it became even more intense.
A sure-hit skill.
Richard didn’t move.
Renee suddenly appeared when scarlet red light hit his stone.
‘Puchi!’
It shattered Richard’s body once more. He could not stop his opponent in the slightest.
The blood-colored light entered his body.
It seeped into his soul and blood.
[Ding~ The divine spell-blood curse of death has affected you. It will gradually reduce your body and soul to fresh blood and annihilate your soul.]
[Ding~ Sand Regeneration has taken effect. It will revive you in 10 minutes…]
Richard felt his body and soul vanish.
Then, his consciousness entered a dark space.
He gradually recovered his senses after some time.
When he opened his eyes again and felt the power surging in his body, He was sparingly frightened when he opened his eyes.
What a terrifying divine spell. It was a power that constantly eroded the body. The absolute defense which could block a skill attack would be useless without the Sand Regeneration skill.
Fortunately, he had many trump cards.
He immediately focused his senses.
The god’s shadow that had used another big move was less than 10 meters tall.
The ghostly light that the ancient god statue emitted enveloped him.
Now, even the dark prison was useless.
The recently resurrected Renee wandered around the area in case of any accidents.
Richard’s face relaxed. He stared at the god’s shadow when Renee sensed his recovery.
“Lowly human lord… You’re not dead yet?”
The divine specter was on the verge of going crazy when he sensed Richard’s resurrection.
‘Why did this blasphemer have so many magical treasures?’
The death blood curse was a divine spell that wouldn’t disappear until it completely devoured the soul.
Richard ignored the god’s shock.
He regained control of the ancient god statue.
He accelerated the devouring process.
He sensed he had completely died.
The god’s shadow kept cursing.
Richard turned a blind eye to it. The curses of the weak were nothing more than a mockery of his incompetence.
The shadow went extremely weak when the ancient god statue had devoured a certain amount of its divine power.
The statue glowed brightly and starkly enveloped the shadow.
After a short while.
In the central area of the ancient god statue.
Darkness and thick fog formed a shadow and lay quietly on the ground.
The two red gemstones on it slowly floated.
Richard succeeded in his bold and crazy idea of imprisoning the god.
He was excited to sense the power of the shadow.
Of course, what caught his attention the most was that this illusory figure had a wisp of the dog-headed god’s soul.
He had imprisoned the soul of a god!
Although it was only a pitiful amount, this was still a god!
Furthermore, two mysterious ancient gems were equally powerful as the ancient god statue.
He waved his hand.
The gemstones in the other party’s eyes fell off and disappeared into the ancient god statue.
Richard clutched the two egg-sized red gemstones in his hands. He felt the power within.
Smiles engulfed his eyes.
The dog-headed god was indeed a child who scattered wealth.
He would bring him good things.
The last time, it was divinity and divine power. This time, Richard even sent his soul in addition to divine power. Moreover, two gems could compete with the ancient god statue.
It is the second time Richard rubbed the biting puppy into the ground.
The pressure the battle brought to Richard even though the battle was not long and seemed simple.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as startling.
It could not resurrect Renee and Richard if not for the top-tier skills attached to the glorious treasure.
It would be difficult without the ancient god statue if the kobold god restricted the battle area.
However, there is no “If” in this world.
His trump cards obtained from life and death have finally functioned in their roles.
This wave is not a loss.
