Chapter 425

Richard’s mind cleared up after he went through the plans for the future development of Twilight City.

His goal became clear.

“In the following period, I still have to turn the gains from this instance dungeon into actual strength.”

The current Twilight City could be unparalleled among the players.

!!
However, in the entire “Shining Era”, it was still far from it.

This world had gods who controlled the power of rules, forces that had existed for hundreds of thousands of years, and countless powerful races…

To face a group of natives with an unknown amount of resources…

The Twilight City was still too weak.

Richard could only respond with the greatest caution.

However, no matter how powerful the enemies they would face in the future were, he always believed that Twilight City would one day no longer need to be at the mercy of any other forces.

Even if the other party was a god!

Richard slowly lifted his head to look at the sky.

The scene of the god of kobolds that descended that night seemed to have reappeared in his vision.

The corners of his mouth curled up into an arrogant and unbridled arc.

“God… Ha…”

Richard returned to the mansion after some silence.

He took the flame source that Fire Elemental Lord Klose gave him in the front yard without rest.

He pondered at the pure golden flame with admiration.

Although it was a flame, the aura it emitted did not make people feel hot. On the contrary, it made people feel relaxed and happy. It was like a mother hugged them.

It was filled with warmth.

A glorious treasure that can strengthen 100 units every day gave their skills fire elemental damage.

It was worth more than 200,000 fire elemental cores…

Richard felt it in his hand, and after a moment, he felt sparingly regretful.

This treasure could only reinforce troops and did not affect heroes.

He waved his hand to call for the stone statues of the dead after he pondered.

There was a limit as to how much one can reinforce the source flame. Only troops at the glorious level or above could withstand the baptism.

It was a pity that most of the troops in Twilight City were still rare levels.

Richard would have to wait for a while if he wanted to reinforce them.

A few minutes later, the 39 stone statues of the dead occupied a vast area in the front yard… Adele studied the one missing in the blacksmith’s shop.

Richard looked at the burly, strong, and fierce troops and was quite satisfied.

The stone statues of the dead had reached a perfect level in his opinion after he combined the two troop types into one.

He stretched out his right hand and spread the flame source in the air.

The flame source released a pure golden flame in the next second, like ink that dripped into clear water. In the blink of an eye, it enveloped all the stone statues of the dead.

A special power began to flow into the bodies of the stone statues of the dead.

Their aura gradually rose…

The first thing that changed was the chain wrapped around the wrist of the stone statue of the dead.

Blood-hued lines appeared on it.

They spread to the battle tomahawks in their hands like a spider web not long after the lines appeared.

When lines covered the battle tomahawks, a scorching aura began to spread out.

But just as Richard thought something big was about to happen, the presence returned to its calm state.

The blood-hued lines from earlier gradually lost their glow and turned into faint lines.

However, this was not a failure. It was the restraint of energy.

When he looked at the battle tomahawk again, he realized that the cold glint on it had turned into a violent fire elemental energy.

One would feel a burning pain in the eyes if one stared at it for a long time.

[Ding~ The flame source has baptized the stone statues of the dead. It has enhanced the Mad Battle Tomahawk Slaughter to Raging Flames of the Wild Tomahawk.]

[Raging Flames of the Wild Tomahawk (B-rank) — A soldier can throw to attack enemies within 80 meters which causes tons of magic damage to the enemy. At the same time, the target will explode after hitting it which causes high-temperature damage to enemies within 10 meters. One can pull the chain on the arm to attack continuously. Has precise control over the battle tomahawk.]

“Raging Flames of the Wild Tomahawk?”

Richard was pleasantly surprised.

This skill is so powerful…

The original violent Tomahawk Smash didn’t have the characteristic of high-temperature damage that can destroy the surrounding 10 meters after it hit the target.

This characteristic allowed the initially ordinary attack skill after reinforcement to immediately have a strategic attack power.

It would explode every time it hit an enemy.

“Wasn’t this a replica of battle Gunter’s Corpse Explosion?”

Although its coverage and power were inferior, this thing had no consumption.

It was as if every attack had the explosion of the Corpse Explosion technique.

Just a thought about that scene made him excited.

More importantly, reinforcing such a domineering skill was optional, and one could carry on for a long time.

There was only one word–worth it!

The fire elemental lord was indeed a treasure. He had to continue to build a closer relationship with the lord in the future.

It would be a waste of their feelings if he didn’t get more good things from him.

He loved to make friends with wealthy lords…

Richard summoned the 70 glorious level undead soldiers of the Axe of the Dead after he reinforced the 39 stone statues of the dead.

The undead soldiers of the Axe of the Dead gained the ability to make the enemy explode when they hit, similar to the stone statue of the deaf after reinforcement.

Richard looked at the battle tomahawk axe covered in dark red patterns and was particularly excited after they completed the transformation.

He couldn’t wait to bring the stone statue of the dead and start looking for a stronghold for the wilderness troops.

Richard couldn’t enjoy his meal if he didn’t test its power with such a soul-riveting skill.

That feeling was like a child who got a wooden sword and had to go to the field to fight wild grass and vegetables to test its sharpness…

Richard rode on Alves ten minutes later and glanced at the desert.

His target was below… A group of 50 desert lizards with an average level of 8.

Their potential is rare, their body is 7 – 9 meters long, and they look strong.

“So strong, it must be very durable, right?”

He waved his hand with anticipation.

A small team immediately swooped down from the stone statue of the dead that hovered in the air beside him.

They swung their battle tomahawks when they were 80 meters away from the ground.

‘Hualala!’

The sound of chains that rubbed against each other resounded through the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the battle tomahawk first thrown out had already struck the desert lizard on the ground.

The majestic monster only heard the sound like one tore the air apart, and before it could react, it felt a sharp pain from its back to its abdomen.

‘Puchi!’

Blood spurted more than ten meters high.

Richard’s senses were at full blast, and he could see everything.

The moment the battle tomahawk penetrated the giant lizard, The dark red patterns on the giant lizard quickly brightened.

A scorching energy burst out from the other party’s body.

It was like a furnace used to refine steel had exploded.

‘Bang!’

A terrifyingly high temperature swept out in all directions.

The few desert lizards closely packed together did not have time to react, and airwaves quickly enveloped them.

The moment the high temperature surged, the formidable and thick skin scorched and quickly roasted the weak organs such as the eyes and nose.

The stench of burnt flesh and hair spread in all directions.

The high temperature roasted more than five giant iguanas.

‘Roar!’

The rest of the giant iguanas finally realized that something was wrong. They raised their heads and roared fiercely. It was like they wanted to tear apart the enemy in the sky.

However, they met even more battle tomahawks.

The stone statue of the dead entirely crushed these creatures that could not fly.

Every time it attacked, as long as it caused damage to the enemy, the battle tomahawk would release a terrifyingly high temperature and can create tons of damage to the surroundings.

Richard had expected the skill to be mighty. But it was still far beyond his expectations.

The ten dead stone statues had only launched one and a half rounds of attacks. And they cleared the five teams of desert lizards on the ground.

Only charred corpses remained.

Richard was pleased to see this.

Although the subject of the test was not potent, their strength after the reinforcement was already very obvious.

In the future, if they encounter a massive battle like a monster siege, this skill will play a crucial role.

Not only that. It could increase the battle power of the troops when Adele’s research on using spirit gems to improve the characteristics is successful.

The integration of military arms, technological research, the upgrade of spirit gems, the reinforcement of flame source… She will use a series of methods.

Even if the level and potential of the opponent’s troops were the same as that of the Twilight City’s, their battle power would be several level lower.
