Richard stared at the obelisk and thought about the possible turbulence in the future.
‘Ta! Ta! Ta!’
A series of dull footsteps resounded through the sky.
The sound startled Richard awake. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.
Innumerable ferocious figures appeared from the open stone door at the bottom of the obelisk.
These creatures were over four meters tall and had ferocious dragon heads. Long wisps of mist came out of their noses as they walked.
Palm-sized gray scales protected their bodies. Their muscles bulged as if air filled them. It was like the scales were about to explode.
They wielded an outrageously heavy warhammer. A single swing could easily shatter a tough human’s shield.
“Dracons!!”
The muscular warrior player next to Richard cried out subconsciously. He could not conceal the fear in his eyes as he looked at the soldiers who had left a shadow in their hearts.
He said hurriedly, “Lord Richard, dracons are descendants of dragons. They are savagely powerful and have high immunity to magic!”
“These soldiers have all reached level 19, and their potential is as high as Glorious 3-stars!! Moreover, Its strength would increase enormously if the opponent fought with it around the obelisk.”
“And the one leading this troop is a transcendent dragon descendant…”
He turned his head excitedly. When he saw the calm figure, his body froze and swallowed the rest of his words.
His expression became a little strange.
“F*ck, I’m also an idiot! Why am I so anxious in front of this big shot?!”
The other party had even slaughtered a god. Why would he care about a transcendent?
The level 19 demon soldiers of nearly ten troops had all turned ashes. Why would he care about the level 19 half-dragons of these troops?
He pondered and turned to look at his companions beside him. He realized they all looked at him with a strange gaze.
That instantly depressed the muscular warrior player. Wasn’t it just a moment of excitement?
Who would have thought they could cling onto such a golden thigh in just a few days?
He was still not used to it.
The muscular warrior player calmed down. He braced himself and looked at Richard.
“Boss, I know your power is enough to sweep through everything, but that transcendent isn’t simple. You must be careful when dealing with him…”
Richard glanced at the muscular warrior player and smiled.
“I know what to do.”
As he spoke, his gaze became sharper.
“Is there any other information?”
The muscular warrior player thought for a moment and shook his head. They had only made a rough contact with the obelisk last time and haven’t done deep into it.
That was all he knew.
Richard seemed to have thought of something and looked at him with interest.
“According to what you said before, at least three extraordinary troop lairs were in this obelisk?”
“How do you know this information?”
The muscular warrior player gestured to the female player beside him with a subtle look in his eyes.
“Lord Richard, Tingting’s profession is a diviner, and she has a certain chance of seeing the future…”
He quickly added.
“Of course, this is nonsense. We wouldn’t be doing so badly if we could see through the future.”
“The main ability is roughly seeing fragments of the future related to oneself.”
“And it’s completely uncontrollable.”
“That ability happened to work on the obelisk. Tingting saw three troop lairs with majestic auras. They were similar to the extraordinary soldiers we sensed in the NPC city.”
Richard couldn’t help but glance at the female player.
‘A prophecy warlock! Sounds indeed powerful.’
However, he found it a little funny when he looked at the messy equipment on her body, and she was only level 11 or 12.
The level wasn’t weak, but the person was too weak.
Even knowing a corner of the future would be futile. Strength was still necessary.
One would be powerless to change anything.
Richard retracted his thoughts and looked at the obelisk again.
The dracons had already condensed into a formation. Richard turned to look at the ferocious figure beside him.
“Kratos, go and test the strength of those half-dragons.”
That transcendent had yet to appear, although it had broken through the distorted space outside.
Kratos did not have the chance to complete the level 19 promotion quest these few times, which made it sparingly angry. This time, Richard brought the dark soul eater and let him lead the charge.
He did not believe there was no suitable transcendent to hunt in this world!
“I will obey your orders, Lord!”
The dark soul eater responded in a muffled voice.
It finished speaking. The level 19 boss immediately commanded the skeletal blood dragon to fly toward the obelisk.
Its aura wasn’t inferior, although there was only one soldier.
The skeletal blood dragon approached within a thousand meters as it flapped its wings.
However, at this moment, something must have bound the dragon. Its body plummeted.
‘Whoosh!’
The skeleton blood dragon wildly flapped its wings and struggled desperately.
However, no matter how it flapped its dragon wings, it could not maintain its stability.
Its vast body fell and smashed into the ground while it flew at high speed.
‘Swoosh’
It drew a long scratch. Grass and ice flew everywhere.
Kratos was behind it and tensed its muscles when the skeleton blood dragon fell. It exerted strength in its legs and jumped up.
‘Bang!’
Its vast body slammed into the ground. That caused the space to tremble violently. Its feet had already sunk into the soil, had one keen to notice.
“Forbidden flight?”
Richard frowned at the sight but did not interrupt.
He continued to watch the boss’s movements.
Kratos’s expression was a little ugly when he landed. His lord looked from behind. It had lost a lot of face from the beginning. The dark soul eater could not bear it.
Its tiny eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
“Creak!’
It clenched its battle axe. It stared at the agitated dracon troop before the obelisk.
Its six-meter-tall body was undoubtedly a giant to ordinary people. Intensified strength filled its rock-like body. Its every move made people tremble.
‘Roar!’
The dark soul eater released a deep growl.
In the next moment, a dark light surged out of its body.
Thirty-two figures condensed beside it. These figures were more ferocious than the dark soul eaters.
They were the Dark Servants.
Kratos transformed them from Tower Race’s heroic spirit.
Each was as strong as a giant. They were more than eight meters tall. That made Kratos appear shorter.
Kratos raised the battle axe. Its eyes turned fierce.
“For Lord Richard!”
“I am the vanguard!”
The roar resounded through the sky. In the next second, this ferocious beast was like one had stretched it like a spring to the limit and then exploded violently.
Its figure left behind several afterimages as it charged toward the obelisk at a terrifying speed.
The 32 Dark Servants automatically formed triangularly and charged behind Kratos.
‘Bang!’
‘Bang!’
‘Bang!’
Kratos stepped, and each hit the ground like a heavy hammer. Dull sounds echoed.
A thousand level 19 dracon single-handedly guarded the obelisk.
Its aura was not at a disadvantage.
The dark soul eater charged at them, and the players widened their eyes and felt a surge of emotions.
They still felt their hearts waver when they saw this top-tier hero’s stance even though they had witnessed it murder the level 19 Mountain Duke.
That must be a genuine hero unit. It was a subordinate that players should recruit!
In comparison, the heroes who submitted to him were simply trash. They were even worse than trash than Richard’s subordinate.
They were both excited and ashamed.
Kratos subconsciously looked at the figure shrouded in yellow sand beside it.
The other party could always make the dark soul eater feel how big the gap between people was, although they were players.
Fortunately, they were not enemies!
Kratos had covered a distance of a thousand meters in just a few moments.
A row of deep footprints remained behind the dark soul eater.
This level 19 boss’s aura had peaked after such a long acceleration.
The world trembled with each of the steps it took.
The two sides clashed intensely under the watchful eyes of everyone.
“Kill them!”
Kratos roared with a ferocious face and crashed into the troop of half-dragons like a heavy truck.
A dracon at the front was fearless. The transcendent master bestowed it with great strength. And no enemy could break through his line of defense!
It tightly gripped the warhammer in its hand. The dracon waved it fiercely and wanted to fight head-on with the enemy.
‘Bang!’
‘Clang!’
The sound of a metal clash exploded.
The dracon felt as if an ancient beast hit the half-dragon soldier. The hard warhammer in its hand broke immediately. Then, its vision blurred, and it felt a sharp pain in the chest.
The dracon tried to fly high up in the sky. The world spun. It saw in a trance large pieces of broken limbs that flew in the sky.
It sent the arm that held the warhammer flying dozens of meters.
That was? Its body?
The dracon lost consciousness the moment this thought arose.
Kratos destroyed the first level 19 dracon. The dark soul eater entered berserk mode.
The dark soul eater swung the battle axe again.
Its rock-like body worked with the power to shake mountains. The characteristic of standing on the ground to continuously recover its strength made it fearless of any siege.
It was like a fiery red sword cut through condensed grease with the 32 Dark Servants behind.
The fire boiled.
The battle axe shattered all the obstacles.
They wantonly harvested the souls of the half-dragons.
The players who nervously watched this scene could not help but feel their mouths go dry and their hearts beat wildly.
Kratos’ domineering behavior was more in line with the understanding of the strong in most people’s hearts. Compared to Richard’s feature of killing the Greed Lord with ease.
Charge through a troop formation. It was like entering a deserted place!
No one could stop that ferocious beast!
In the eyes of level 19 half-dragons, these Glorious 3-stars soldiers were terrifying and almost invincible troops.
At this moment, Kratos could not stop the half-dragons.
It still could not imagine the first collision would be like this.
This hero of the other party was about to break through the half-dragon troops!
Its scalp went numb.
“That was a level 19 Glorious 3-stars soldier!!”
“F*ck, this hero is as sick as its master!!”
Its gaze subconsciously turned to the dazzling figure beside it.
The enemy didn’t used their troops in the battle to defend Lion City for various reasons.
What level of destructive power would he unleash?! If boss Richard were to go all out?
For a moment, the players’ hearts were in turmoil.
Kratos led 32 Dark Servants and charged straight into the center of the dracon troops.
Only blood and broken limbs remained wherever they passed. They smashed at least three squadrons of soldiers into pieces.
The scene was crazy.
At this moment, the level 19 dracons finally reacted.
Kratos’ charge slowed down. The dark soul eater surrounded them layer by layer. It used the human wave tactic to cover them.
The momentum of a thousand army avoidance’s charge was the greatest weapon against a troop formation.
A trap in a positional battle would enormously reduce their lethality.
However, Kratos’ feet at this moment stepped on the ground. The dark soul eater was even more ferocious, not only that the dracon could not suppress it.
It swung the battle axe in its hand. It was heavy enough to crush a warhorse, like a giant siege weapon that attacked a city wall. The axe could either smash or send the dracons flying no matter how they resist.
The dracons had always been known for their tyrannical strength. They experienced the battle crush for the first time.
Two or three squadrons could surround and kill a hero, although the difference between a soldier and a hero was distinct, at the same level.
Moreover, the higher the potential, the easier it would be to deal with heroes.
However, this situation would change as the hero’s potential increased.
Two or three squadrons of troops could no longer deal with hero units with B-rank of the same level.
Reaching an A-rank would be a step further. That required double the number to deal with it.
The hero unit would undoubtedly become a tyrant once they reached Beyond A-rank. Even a large troop might not be enough for them to kill under the same level!
Not to mention, Kratos was a boss mode that was even stronger than a hero mode, and his potential had also reached Beyond A-rank.
One could no longer infer a monster of this level with common sense.
Bosses were units that required five or ten times the strength of a hero to kill.
At this moment, these dracons fought the level 19 dark soul eater head-on.
Furthermore, it was under the situation where there was no heroic unit command.
So Richard was not surprised by the near-crushing situation.
However, a few players did not know the secret. They only saw Kratos smash the level 19 dracons they could treat as mini-bosses.
This scene made them so envious that their eyes turned red.
“Wasn’t this champion too fierce? Why don’t we have any?”
“And Lord Richard was willing to let him take the risk?”
The losses would be unbearable if that transcendent suddenly launched a sneak attack and killed the other party.
They wouldn’t use it like if this one gave them. They would even treat the other party as their ancestor. They would not let the dark soul attack unless for critical moments!
Unfortunately, the heavens were unfair!
This hero was not theirs!
They watched in grief and envy as Richard waved his hand lightly.
He said casually, “Kratos, don’t waste time. Charge into the obelisk and force that transcendent out.”
“Force? Force the transcendent out? A level 19 hero?”
The players heard this order, and they felt their hearts bled.
Kratos was such a good hero. How could he use him like this?
Wasn’t it too much to treat the dark soul eater a vanguard?!
“Lord Richard, if you don’t want this hero, you can give it to us. We wouldn’t mind!!”
The warrior player looked especially angry.
It felt like someone else played his goddess. He could only watch bitterly from the side. He was afraid that his goddess would be played hard by someone else. He even wanted to ask the other party to be gentler.
Kratos received the order and did not hesitate at all. He led Dark Servants and charged forward.
They forced their way into the obelisk against the draconic troops.
The scene was so exaggerated that the players felt like they had eaten lemons.
The dark soul eater could even scout the way with a hero who could fight against a thousand alone, and it didn’t even care about its life or death!!
As for them? They didn’t even have the right to worship the other party!!
That was unfair!
The players’ breathing sounded chaotic. An infinite roaring anger resounded in the sky.
The majestic and terrifying aura suppressed the world, and thousands of rivers flowed down.
‘Bang!’
Kratos, who had just charged into the obelisk, flew out of the stone door at the bottom of the obelisk-like ball hit by a baseball bat.
The dark soul eater knocked all the dracons over.
Kratos flew for more than ten meters, and the boss fiercely swung the weapon in its hand.
‘Bang!’
It smashed the battle axe into the ground. The vast inertia caused the axe to leave a several-meter-long mark.
It was only at this moment that the other party’s flying momentum stopped.
“Thud!’
It landed on the ground. Its strong legs involuntarily bent slightly.
The level 19 boss straightened up. It stared at the open stone door of the obelisk.
‘Creak!’
It tightened the grip on the battle axe, and its muscles bulged. It condensed its aura to the extreme. It stretched its body like a longbow, like a lion about to attack.
‘Ta Ta!’
‘Ta Ta!’
A series of footsteps resounded across the earth.
The surrounding space seemed to freeze as it trembled with its footsteps.
The surging aura was like a mountain reservoir that collapsed. The waves rushed down 90,000 feet.
The fearless dracons knelt on one knee and lowered their heads to the stone door when the footsteps sounded.
They welcome the arrival of their ruler.
Richard narrowed his eyes at this sight.
All under his gaze.
A more than five-meter-tall dracon walked out of the stone door of the obelisk.
This half-dragon had a fiery red dragon head and miniature dragon wings on its back.
It held no weapon, but the sharp claws that reflected the metallic luster were enough to explain everything.
The dracon stood at the stone door, and the surrounding space began to distort. It was like one pressed a plastic sheet against a heavy stone. One could not bear the weight.
Everyone’s breathing became rapid, and their hearts beat unnaturally faster.
Transcendents, the transcendental dragon wings protected the obelisk!!
The muscular player’s legs couldn’t help but go weak when the warrior player thought of the previous encounter. He would have been wet at the first moment if it weren’t for the golden legs beside him.
He turned his head subconsciously. He was about to say something when he heard the calm voice of the heroic figure beside him.
“Kratos, I’ll leave this extraordinary dragon descendant to you.”
“No one else in this war will partake, and I am no exception.”
“It is your prey.”
The muscular warrior player’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“I… I heard it correctly, right?”
“Lord Richard isn’t going to make a move? Instead, he wanted this level 19 hero to deal with the transcendent dracon alone?!”
His heart was instantly in a mess.
“Lord, although I know you have a lot of heroes, you can’t cherish them!!”
“That was a top-notch hero who couldn’t fight against a thousand alone!!”
He could tell that the other party was extraordinary, although he could not see any attributes other than his level, as long as he was not blind.
“Now, you want such a hero to fight a transcendent alone?”
“Do you have any humanity left?”
The muscular warrior player was furious.
“Kratos, I feel sorry for you… Lord Richard, you’re so cruel!”
