294 Chapter 253: Void Sandworm
While his opponent was still in a daze, Richard’s energy began to surge like lava.
The light on his body suddenly flickered.
The sand and gravel on the ground violently swept up.
But at this moment.
In the sky, an indescribable aura suddenly appeared.
It was ancient and weathered. It was like it had crossed the long river of time.
The two corpses of the kobold god in front of him suddenly swelled up the moment the aura appeared.
“No! Damn the rules!”
The two corpses only had time to let out a scream, and then, like balloons that had been inflated to the limit, they exploded with a bang.
Broken limbs flew everywhere.
Richard’s sense of danger vanished without a trace.
After that, the ancient aura disappeared like the wind.
“The rules? The rules of the main plane? No gods are allowed to descend?”
He heaved a sigh of relief when he thought of the rule set by the god of creation in the “Shining Era”.
The terrifying pressure was not something that outsiders could imagine when one faced a living god.
At his current level, he was still far from being a transcendent, let alone a god.
Fortunately, this guy had exploded.
After he came back to his senses, his expression became serious.
The seal of the Krina tribe was more important to the god of kobolds than he had imagined.
A god had personally appeared on the main plane. What kind of great risk was this?
It seemed like the Krina tribe had a secret that he did not know about.
Richard looked up at the sky and let out a long breath.
“We have to be prepared when we go back this time. Don’t worry about Twilight City before the instance dungeon even opens.”
He didn’t stay any longer after he didn’t sense anything unusual in the surroundings.
He commanded Alves to continue on his way to Twilight City.
He also encountered several teams of kobolds on the way, but he was not in the mood to care about these little lackeys.
The skeleton blood dragon beside them sent them back to the embrace of death.
“The Lord is back!!”
With a shout, the residents in the territory immediately looked up.
In his sight, the skeleton blood dragon, which emitted a blood-colored light, flew across the sky and landed on the small square in front of the Lord’s mansion.
As soon as Richard got down from Alves, he noticed that the atmosphere in the territory was a lot heavier than usual.
The surrounding troops were obviously on alert, and a murderous aura filled the air.
Even the residents did not have many smiles on their faces.
He immediately waved his hand and ordered the soldiers around to summon Karu and the other heroes who were stationed there.
Not long after, old gray-haired Karu and a few other mummy heroes rushed into the Lord’s mansion.
He saw Richard command the troop to cut down the plants on the dragon’s back, which were emitting strong magical waves.
He immediately stepped forward, bowed, and said in a deep voice.
“Lord Richard, the kobolds attacked us since this morning. The agricultural area was almost set on fire by a group of creatures who sneaked in. Fortunately, we discovered it in time and didn’t let them succeed.”
As he spoke, his expression became more and more serious.
“My Lord, this must be the revenge of the Kobold God.”
Richard said to himself.
“That’s right. It is indeed revenge. I met him on the way.”
These words immediately caused the atmosphere to freeze.
Carl stammered.
“Yo-you met the Kobold God?!!” His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Richard nodded.
“Before I killed the two kobolds who went to scout, the other party recognized me. Following that, a wisp of the Kobold God’s will sensed my existence and descended upon the main plane. However, the two corpses were directly erased by the power of the rules of the main plane.”
As he spoke, his tone sank.
“You guys have to be mentally prepared. After the believers of Kobold God gather, perhaps we won’t just have to fight against their army.”
There was also the possibility of facing an extremely powerful opponent!
Since the other party could descend the first time, it was not impossible to descend a second time if they were prepared.
Richard could tell from the way the Kobold God descended what kind of person he was.
Why would a normal god pay special attention to an existence that had not even reached level 10?
Even if it was a higher-level being, those gods would probably not even care about it. After all, a god was still a god.
They controlled the most powerful force in this world. However, the other party didn’t play by the rules. He appeared directly and even parted harsh words to him.
Considering his two divine titles, greed and plunder, he was certainly a powerful god.
This Kobold God was really fierce.
When Xina heard this, her eyes were filled with guilt.
“I’m sorry, Lord. I didn’t expect that false god to be so despicable…”
Richard shook his head.
Who would have thought that such a being created the seal?
“You’re a member of Twilight City. No matter what happens, we’ll stand together. So what if I have to face the gods? The main plane has its own rules. Even if the other party is a god, he has to obey the rules. Besides, this is the desert. The desert is not their territory.”
Every god had its own set of believers. Except for populated races like humans, most of the believers of other gods lived in relatively concentrated places.
Some were gathered in an underground world called the dark dungeon. There were also many kobolds in the main plane, but they were quite scattered.
It was unlikely that they would be able to gather a huge army to attack Twilight City in the desert. After all, the desert was a forbidden land of death to the living beings outside.
To Twilight City, the desert was the strongest defense. The harsh environment was enough to limit the vast majority of life.
However, even if only a small portion of the kobolds in the desert were gathered, it would still be a huge challenge for Twilight City.
Xina was touched and bowed again with her hands on her chest. She relayed, “Sir, I’ll immediately ask for help from my clansmen.”
Richard’s eyes lit up as he said, “Will they come?”
Xina’s gaze was serious. “The Twilight City made a sacrifice for the sake of breaking the seal for our people. We have no reason to refuse.”
Richard nodded slowly.
“The Twilight City will remember this friendship.”
It was a good thing to have reinforcements, but what piqued his interest was whether he could recruit more soldiers from Xina’s clansmen. He didn’t ask for much—just 30 to 50 heroes like Xina would be enough!
In the future, wouldn’t it be great for Twilight City to form an army made up of beyond-Rank-A heroes?
Xina didn’t hesitate. She turned around and left after bowing.
Richard pondered for a moment, then turned to Karu.
“Karu, mobilize all the available manpower in Twilight City to build a defense tower. I have obtained a large number of resources from the underground world. It’s enough to solve most of our current problems. I will build the city wall later.”
Forty million units of resources. What an outrageous number!
“Gray, you lead the army and be on guard at all times to prevent any surprise attacks from the enemy.”
He continued, “You, bring the skeletal blood dragon and the gargoyles out for a patrol and eliminate the scouts of the enemy. If there’s a large army of kobolds, immediately return and report.”
“Understood, Lord!”
Richard waited for the others to leave, then took a moment to compose himself before looking at the backyard. With some anticipation, he walked forward.
The sandworm he brought back from the dungeon had hatched.
He had always had high hopes for those terrifying life forms that could reach a hundred meters in length when they reached adulthood.
Richard looked around the backyard. On the ground covered with a large amount of yellow sand, 11 sandworms that had just hatched were half-hidden.
Gray skin could be seen faintly. These newly-born sandworms were about 7 to 8 meters long and as thick as a bucket.
Although it was still a larva, he could sense the majestic power contained in it.
After Richard’s arrival, the sandworm smelled his scent.
Suddenly, they crawled out of the yellow sand one by one, opened their horrifying mouths that were full of sharp teeth, and rolled toward him in a rather flattering way—revealing their gray stomachs.
Richard felt a chill run down his spine. These bug larvae acting cute was a little scary. This thing could probably eat ten little kids in one bite.
He opened the attribute panel.
[Sandworm]
[Level: 10]
[Potential: Unknown]
[Status: Larva Stage]
[Description: A life form with outstanding potential. They can even prey on dragons when they reach adulthood.]
It was a level 10 newborn!
Richard nodded in satisfaction. They would all be at least level 15 when they reached adulthood.
The sandworms he had encountered in the dungeon were all level 19.
One could see their potential.
Richard glanced around and was immediately attracted by the only sandworm that was different from his companions.
The young sandworm’s gray skin was engraved with fist-sized dark golden runes. It looked like a work of art—full of a special aura.
Sensing it carefully, one could find that there was a dim and empty energy surging around the young sandworm.
It was as if there was a volcano that was about to erupt in its body.
It was filled with an indescribable overwhelming energy.
None of the young sandworms dared to get close to it.
[Void Sandworm]
[Level: 14]
[Potential: Unknown]
[Status: Larva]
[Description: A void being with a special bloodline. It has unlimited potential.]
A level 14 newborn!
After reading it twice, his eyes immediately lit up. The smile on his face instantly intensified.
Void being!
Awesome!
The larva that had just hatched immediately became the highest-level existence in the city.
Perhaps it was the reason why it was valued so much.
Wasn’t this thing more powerful than a giant dragon?
A newborn void sandworm was already level 14. How much higher would it be when it matured?
A level 20 transcendent? A level 25 legendary? Or level 30 god?
