675 Chapter 439: Emily’s Dream, Unusual Changes in the Divine Kingdom
The sun hung high in the sky at noon.
Richard sat in the hall while he sipped tea.
He flipped through his attribute panel. He had checked more than ten times.
One could only describe his attributes as gorgeous after he reached level 15 and consumed the blood of the holy dragon.
Crown-level–Yellow Sand Lord, with six Beyond A-rank skills.
Yellow Sand Control, Sand Transformation, Flame Sandstorm, Sand Condensation (Into Armor), Sand Regeneration, and Sand Dragon Tornado.
The Sand Dragon Tornado was a new skill he obtained after he reached level 15.
[You can summon a Sand Dragon Tornado. It is 300 meters in diameter, level 25 storm, with Instant Death Skill: Tear. It will tear the body apart if its toughness wouldn’t resist the storm.]
The blood of the holy dragon reinforced these skills. Richard did not expect that.
That enormously increased the skill attributes.
The notification said that could strengthen a skill to the extreme. Now, all skills have been reinforced…”
Richard raised an eyebrow. Was it because of the yellow sand power in his body?
Unfortunately, there was only one drop of the blood of the holy dragon, and there was no second verification.
Richard shook his head. He didn’t want to be too entangled. It was enough to get benefits.
Three additional skills for the Desert Lord.
There was no need to say much about Sand Transformation. This skill had made enormous contributions to Twilight City’s conquests.
Sand Soldier Condensation was the skill of the Dune Lord. It was fierce and overbearing. It was fearless even when faced with the siege of the Fire Elemental Lord Klose and the god’s ancient tree.
The battle outcome would still be unknown if he hadn’t interfered with the other party’s control of the power of the yellow sand.
This was obtained by devouring the power of the yellow sand that the other party possessed.
However, what surprised Richard the most was the remarkable skill he had just obtained.
A 200% increase in all attributes was already considered tyrannical. Communication with the desert’s consciousness made him feel it could contain unlimited potential.
Could he ask for some secret information? For example, in the desert, where were divine artifacts buried? Where was the dragon’s treasure vault? Where were the ancient ruins?
There could be a lot of room for manipulation.
[Power of Yellow Sand: (Rare) 5,000 (Recovers 10 points per second)]
A power surged out like a tsunami.
The surrounding air instantly froze.
He could even feel the power of the entire desert.
The power of yellow sand finally became a part of the power that could be mobilized on the surface after advancing to the second stage.
This power was several levels higher than magic power.
He only had a few thousand mana points at level 14. His mana skyrocketed to 50,000 points after he reached level 15.
It was more than ten times faster.
The upper limit of magic power always limits a spellcaster.
But 50,000 mana was ten times less than 5,000 power of the yellow sand.
The power of yellow sand could replace the input of magic power.
The power of the yellow sand would upgrade that skill to the extreme once one used it to cast a skill.
All of his skills were desert skills.
The power of yellow sand was the power of the desert.
His heart was restless.
He took a few deep breaths to suppress his emotions.
Several special skills were left… Beyond A-rank Halo–Yellow Sand Halo, Dragon Power from bathing in Dragon Blood, self-learned Leading Technique, Fire Resistance and Double Casting from the Fire Elemental Lord, Stealth Power, and Danger Perception from the first dungeon.
Every skill has its unique characteristics.
They formed the current power of the gods together.
Richard sparingly narrowed his eyes and felt the energy that surged in his body like lava.
His mood was great.
He unknowingly grew into a big boss that was unimaginable when he entered the “Shining Era.”
The level 15 desert dragon had once regarded it as an invincible existence. Now, those soldiers were not even qualified to hurt him.
A sense of accomplishment shrouded his heart.
The next step was to reach the next level-transcendence.
The peak power of this world.
He looked at his level status bar.
Level 15 (230,000/5 million).
The experience points required to level up increased exponentially with the increase in levels.
There was still a long way to go before he could become transcendent.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.
At this level, it was time to prepare for the next move.
Complete the S-rank mission entrusted by Teacher Peim at the Red Dragon General Store and retrieve god’s heart.
To explore the place where the laws were broken and hunt the remnant souls of the gods entrenched in the collapsed divine kingdom;
Attack the dungeon that imprisoned the extraordinary existence, the Lord of Darkness;
To explore the ancient ruins with nine bronze doors, the Resplendent Wizard Tower…
Things had to be done step by step, and food had to be eaten bit by bit.
The most urgent thing at the moment was the S-rank mission which only had 20 days left.
His eyes flashed as he turned to look at the guard beside him.
“Bring Emily here.”
“Yes, Lord.”
The guard immediately turned around and left. A young centaur hurried over shortly after.
Emily was only half a head taller than an average person after she returned to her usual form. She had a carefree smile on her face when she arrived.
Just a glance at it could make one’s mood improve.
The adults liked to play with children because they were genuine and immature. They believed they could quickly make anyone let down their guard and take off their masks.
“Father!”
Emily jogged toward Richard’s side and smiled sweetly. She then took his arm and snuggled her head into his arms.
That appearance was vastly in contrast to one of the gods of war who held a long-handled giant axe and led the troop to charge at the enemy’s attack stone.
The enemies who had died under the long-handled giant axe would never have imagined that the fierce warrior would have such a posture.
Richard felt the young centaur’s reliance and relaxed.
He reached out and patted her little head.
Only in front of Emily could he reveal his true self and not have to carry too much.
He opened the attribute panel and glanced.
The boss had already reached level 14 and was only one step away from level 15.
The other party massively contributed to the battle to protect Twilight City and gained a lot of benefits from it.
“This time, come with me to complete a mission.”
Emily quickly lifted her head from Richard’s arms and stared at him in surprise.
“Father, are you serious?”
Richard laughed.
“Of course. Emily has grown up and can help me even more now.”
The god’s ancient tree had the most soul-tormenting presence and the fiercest battle power among the three bosses of Twilight City. One person was in the troop.
The dark valkyrie swung her longsword, and the one-blade gods were equally terrifying.
Only this young man had yet to show his invincible attitude as a boss.
But this battle had also allowed Richard to see his opponent’s growth, and it was time for him to stay by his side and nurture him.
Emily’s eyes curved into crescents. Joy engulfed her face.
“Father!”
She was like a child who had received the affirmation of her elders. Delight shrouded her eyes.
Richard sparingly smiled and teased the young centaur a little longer.
The excited Emily suddenly became sparingly shy after Richard instructed her to leave for Solan City on the 10th.
She looked at Richard hesitantly and said softly.
“Father, can you sleep with me tonight?”
Richard momentarily froze. The young centaur looked at him pitifully before he could respond and said, “I’ve been having nightmares recently. I’m a little scared…”
‘Do… Nightmare?’
Richard thought of how the enemy would charge into the enemy’s midst with a long-handled axe after she activated her battle stance. It was indescribably odd to slaughter the enemy until their blood flowed like a river.
Richard suddenly thought of something and narrowed his eyes just as he was about to comfort her.
“What did you dream about?”
Emily held Richard’s arm tightly and looked up with fear.
“In my dream, I met a scary demon. Someone locked this demon in a cage and incessantly tried to escape for revenge.
“I’ve been having the same dream every day recently…”
The more she spoke, the more her voice trembled.
“Moreover, that demon increasingly damaged the cage. I feel that in at most a month, the demon will tear the cage apart and eat me.”
“Father, I’m afraid…”
Her pitiful appearance could make one’s heart throb.
Richard’s expression sparingly changed.
The resurrected god of the land of the broken laws suddenly appeared in his mind.
The god had holed up in the incomplete divine kingdom while he searched for it, and the ancient god statue scared it away.
He had never had the time nor the confidence to explore it.
Emily guarded the land of the broken laws and lost her power and memories even though the land had collapsed.
However, she couldn’t have the same dream for no reason.
The remaining power of the land of the broken laws warned her.
He rubbed the other young centaur’s head with some heartache and said slowly, “When we return from Solan City, we will find out and extinguish the source of the nightmare.”
Emily stared at Richard’s warm gaze. That subsided half of the fear in the young centaur’s heart. Satisfaction and worship engulfed her face.
“Yes! Father is the best to me!”
Richard was in a good mood when he saw the innocent look in her eyes. No wonder he liked to play with children. This kind of emotionless worship was too comfortable.
Emily tilted her small head and rolled her eyes. She seemed to have thought of something and continued.
“Father, there seems to be something vital hidden in the devil’s cage. It keeps on calling me. It begged me to retrieve it… However, that demon is too fierce. I can’t bear it.”
‘Was there still something in that cage?’
Richard’s mind conceived thoughts.
The remnant divine power in the land of the broken laws was a high-level map.
They would naturally obtain rich benefits after they conquer it.
However, was this profit related to Emily? Or was it related to the land of the broken laws? Or was it some kind of divine artifact?
Richard asked more about the dream, but to his disappointment, that was all Emily.
However, the information mentioned by the other party had already piqued his interest.
He didn’t know if the revived god would give him more surprises. Moreover, if the Eternal Land wanted to expand, it would require massive planar power.
The source of this kind of planar power was either the transformation of the planar stone from the void or the devouring of other planes.
A broken divine kingdom was a high-grade prey.
