556 Chapter 391: Lord of the Abyss-King of Decay [1/2]
‘Whoosh!’
Hundreds of Skeleton blood dragons with wingspans over 20 meters flapped their broken wings and flew away from Twilight City.
The six squadrons of the stone statues of the dead followed closely behind. They disappeared into the air in the blink of an eye.
The residents below mind when they saw this scene.
They firmly believed that the almighty ruler would emerge victorious no matter what happened next.
That was the confidence they had built up over the past half a year.
No one could break it.
Richard did not bring any heroes with him this time because of the change in the situation. The heroes had their mission.
Gray and Gunter were left behind to guard the city.
His current power could already bridge many gaps with the increase in his battle strength.
He flew at full speed in the direction of the collapsed ruins.
Richard mobilized the power of the sand to speed up the troop.
It allowed the overall speed to exceed 400 kilometers per hour…
It whistled through the sky.
The stone statue of the dead was born at level 9 and had a brilliant potential of 3-stars. However, its battle ability was much stronger than the Crown 1-star skeleton blood dragon, born at level 10.
Richard even had the confidence to rely on this troop to defeat most players without personally entering the battlefield.
As he flew, he communicated with the players from Hyena to implement the changes in the collapsed ruins.
He had to admit that these players were indeed quite capable. With their connections, they could accurately give him real-time information about the collapsed ruins.
As time passed, the situation of the collapsed ruins became worse.
Increasing demons surged out of the cave, and the number of players gathered rose exponentially…
On the morning of October 19th, Richard finally arrived within 100 kilometers of his destination.
Richard grew excited when he saw the mark on the system map and increasingly went closer.
The news from last night had not stopped. It has connected the ruins to the bottomless abyss, and several demons appeared inside… The players even forcefully retreated to the outer area.
The sound of a system notification suddenly rang in his ears.
[Ding~ You have triggered a regional quest: The 333rd level of the bottomless abyss has opened up a passage to the desert of death. Several demons have appeared in the central plane. They seriously threatened the safety of Solan City. The glorious Grand Duke of Frostwolf has quickly sent troops to eliminate the demons.]
[Lords, you are free to receive missions.]
[During the mission period, the experience gained from killing demons will increase by five times.]
[You will earn contribution points from Solan City for every abyssal demon you slay. You can exchange these contribution points for high-level treasures.]
[Solan City will reward the lord who seals the abyssal passage.]
[Time Limit for this Regional Mission: 3 days.]
“Regional mission?”
Richard’s eyes lit up.
That was the first time he had encountered such a mission.
It looked interesting.
“But three days only? Could that Grand Duke of Frostworf in Solan City, the glorious ascetic, make a change in three days?
He had never seen a glorious powerhouse in action before. He wondered if he could witness it this time.
He immediately sped up.
At this moment, the private message rang again.
[Hyena: Boss Qingqiu, we triggered a regional mission. Did you receive it?]
[Qingqiu: Yes, I got it. I’ll be there in 20 minutes.]
Hyena was very excited. He could finally rely on a soul-strapping lord again.
[Hyena: Alright, we’ll wait for you!]
******
“Quick, retreat!!
” F*ck! There are so many enraged abyssal demons. We can’t hold them off anymore…
“Be careful of the Balrog. These demons have already reached level 14…”
In the ruins of a collapsed building.
Several players led their troops and fought against the demons that surged out of the central area.
From the sky, it looked like a black tide surged out, and a low roar that sounded like a beast on the verge of death vastly resounded.
It carried a terrifying and sinking language.
The abyssal aura was like a giant hand that grabbed necks. The enemies couldn’t breathe.
There were too many demons…
Countless low-level inferior and fallen demons, and high-level furious and flame demons were scattered everywhere.
In the outer region, the players led the troop like a reef. They forcefully blocked the tide of demons.
The priests of the sect camp incessantly cast light magic and caused massive damage to the enemy.
The human archers, the gunners of the Fortress City, the beastmen’s flying axe warriors …There were all kinds of races, and the situation became dizzying.
However, there were too many demons.
The troop players gradually retreated, although they were also very tenacious.
Moreover, the players were here to hunt and earn contribution points experience, so they would not go against the demons.
Hence, they retreated while they fought. They did intend to fight with the demons head-on.
Richard saw the battle scene from thousands of meters away.
It was rare for dozens of races to fight against the abyssal demon troop.
However, he was not interested in interfering at the moment.
Richard followed the coordinates that Hyena and the others gave and flew in another direction. He sensed Hyena and the others hid in a collapsed building a few minutes later.
Hyena, Brother Knight, Big Boss, and Third Brother excitedly came out of cover when they saw Richard land.
“Boss Qing Qiu…”
Richard nodded.
“Do you know the reason for the sudden appearance of the abyssal demons?”
“No, it’s just that two days ago, a player suddenly sent a message saying several demons had appeared here, and their experience points were extremely high.
“At first, the number was still within a controllable range, but later on, it gradually went out of control until it triggered the regional mission.”
Richard frowned.
