996 Chapter 557: Boss Qingqiu! [2/2]
The battle progressed. The defense line on the city wall shook.
‘Roar!’
The king of the imperial troops retreated from a line of defense the old banshee tore.
The invisible ropes controlled five swords in the air. These frantically attacked, but the old banshee was immune to most damage. So long as one protected the head.
One could often cause injuries with their agile bodies and superb battle skills.
The king of the imperial troops suffered casualties.
Richard’s eyes turned cold when he saw this, and the power of yellow sand surged from his body.
It instantly covered hundreds of meters of space. The sand on the ground flew up quickly toward the battle platform.
It directly enveloped the troop and condensed.
In a moment, all the soldiers wore yellow sand-made armor.
That was a reinforced Beyond A-rank skill, Condensing Sand into Armor.
Richard took the medal out from his pocket and wore it. It was a 5-stars treasure, the Death Elegy Medal. It could increase the attributes of all undead by 50%.
That reactivated the title.
[King of Gladiator — The enemy troop has exceeded 3,000. Your attributes are increased by 50%, and the troops are increased by 40%. The morale of the troops is high.]
“What was a hero?”
He could change the situation on the battlefield with his strength.
That was the definition of heroes in the “Shining Era.”
And Richard was one of the best.
He could activate the two passive skills that increase his attributes and condense the yellow sand armor.
The shaky defense line immediately regained its stability.
The saber and shield of the old banshee could easily cut through boulders. The demoness slashed at the yellow sand armor like a long stick that had stirred in thick syrup and had evaporated most of its water.
Stagnation, blockage.
That had reduced the power to the freezing point.
The marks on the yellow sand armor would disappear after a few breaths. It would return to its perfect state after the slash.
It could at least withstand more than ten attacks from the old banshee, although its luster was a little dimmer.
The troubled Twilight City troops immediately erupted with power that trembled the old banshee after they obtained the yellow sand armor that could protect themselves.
That was wild and brutal.
Each step they took on the city walls would cost them ten to a hundred corpses.
The scene became increasingly tragic.
The two players behind them were terrified.
The white-haired, pale-faced old player’s eyes widened, and his breathing quickened.
“Who, who is that? How could he be so powerful?”
He expected that player to face a wave of turmoil and could not hold on after the eruption of the old banshee.
Unexpectedly, the charging troop regained the strength to slaughter the enemy after a few adjustments.
He couldn’t see the player because of the chaos on the battlefield. He couldn’t bring a hero into the battlefield. In other words, these were the skills of the player.
He pondered. He could not help but feel his scalp go numb.
The middle-aged player seemed to have thought of something at this moment. His expression changed repeatedly. In the end, he said with a hint of relief and surprise.
“Butler Maca, don’t you find those troops familiar? Other than that person, who else in the desert camp could have a mummy troop of this level?”
“That person?”
The white-haired, pale-faced old player seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly widened.
He divulged excitement. He was excited! It was like one had resurrected him. Countless emotions surged in his heart.
He calmed down and spoke in a low and solemn tone, even with a hint of pilgrimage.
“Qingqiu…
“No one, yes, in the entire “Shining Era,” among the players from the desert camp could possess such power!
“Qingqiu slayed a level 19, Glorious 3-stars. He even made the elder old banshee explode like a dog.
“None of the top guilds could do this other than Qingqiu!”
The big guilds could always gather a troop that could win, but that would require troops to pile up!
On the battlefield before them, Qingqiu used the same or even fewer numbers to kill the level 19 female demons.
The gap between them was so vast!
The middle-aged player had mixed feelings.
He didn’t have much hope at first. He didn’t expect to meet such a big shot in a situation where he could die.
He had also watched the live stream of the previous plane exploration. He marked the destruction of the Blazing Flame Guild and the shock of killing a god with a single sword in his heart.
In the last battle at Lion City, the enemy did not send any troops to fight, so he could not make a judgment for a while.
But now, any deductions weren’t necessary.
There were many experts, but he had only met an existence as powerful as Qingqiu.
The scarlet flame eye at the top of the obelisk saw the enemy block its attack again.
That was a genuine riot.
‘Hong!’
The flames exploded dozens of meters high.
His long and narrow eyes widened again.
Flames covered half of the sky.
It looked like an ancient flame creature had opened its eyes from afar.
The scarlet mist in the air began to thicken.
The eyes of the remaining venomous snake on the head of the old banshee were crimson.
That horrified the two players. The status of the old banshee’s attribute panel had changed again.
[Curse of the Great Old Ones (Sould Burn) — All Attributes increase by 600%. It could instantly heal all injuries. Immune to pain. An enemy could not smash your head. You will not die. You will carry the power of the stones of the ancient ones in your attack. It can destroy everything.]
Their hearts beat wildly, and indescribable fear filled their eyes.
“Damn, this obelisk would kill!!!
“He was cheating. He couldn’t afford to play this game. He was cheating!!”
They fixed their eyes on the battlefield. They wouldn’t survive in this strange obelisk if their only support fell.
“Hold on, Boss Qingqiu!”
There had never been a moment when he wanted a player to live so badly.
Richard was not surprised by the riot at the obelisk, and his expression did not change much.
A dangerous light flashed in his eyes when he saw the firm defense line collapse again.
He resounded a solemn order throughout the battlefield.
“Evil dragon wings, activate Evil Dragon Body!!
“Stone statues of the dead, activate the Colossus of the Dead!
“King of the imperial troops, activate the Forbidden Sandstorm!”
The body of the evil dragon wings at the front collided fiercely. Their bodies soared from five meters to eight meters.
‘Hong!’
High temperatures ignited their bodies and distorted the air.
Triangular swords in their hands turned red. One could even see how one burned the flesh and blood on it to a crisp.
The stone statues of the dead at the back expanded to a giant similar to the dragon wings.
A greenish-gray color covered their bodies. Their defense was as firm as a mountain, and it was difficult for swords to hurt them.
The kings of the imperial troop’s aura suddenly soared. Their attributes increased by 300%. At the same time, the five swords controlled by the invisible rope emitted bursts of sword light that almost caused the surrounding space to distort.
The strongest trump cards of the three troops erupted simultaneously. That tore the surging old banshee before them apart.
The dragon wings and the eight-meter-tall body of the stone statues of the dead worked like heavy siege equipment every time they waved their weapons.
The old banshee couldn’t resist this soul-tormenting force even though her body had grown to four meters.
This level 19 soldier type was not known for its strength.
They were nimble, could move around and fight, and could petrify their enemies. That was their trump card.
However, it was a coincidence these were futile before the Twilight City troops.
The size of the troops increased. That narrowed the battle platform.
Richard looked up at the scarlet flame eye at the top of the obelisk. His expression appeared odd.
“Kill our way out!”
