Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start Chapter 71 - Birth of A-Rank Hero

Chapter 71: Chapter 70: Birth of A-Rank Hero

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Although Richard thought that a treasure that could recruit an A-rank hero would be very precious, he had not expected it to be so valuable.

The giant desert dragon he had seen in the one-way teleportation portal, whose attributes could be conspicuous, was only level 15.

Even the high and mighty G.o.d was only level 30.

A level 25 hero was the first-cla.s.s existence in the entire plane of the game “Shining Era.”

With mixed feelings, Richard allowed the Axe of the Dead to hold the mummy’s heart and gradually climbed up the mountain of bones.

He placed it into the sacrifice coffin.

Soon, the dim light seeped out of the coffin and seemed to have poured gasoline into the flames.

The light was bright.

The distorted light was like a devil from h.e.l.l was about to crawl out.

Richard fixed his gaze on this scene.

He could p.r.o.nouncedly feel that the coffin was about to give birth to a powerful aura…

The dim light became increasingly profound and began to spread out.

The distorted light enveloped the mountain of bones in a few breaths.

The coffin absorbed countless cold energy.

The bones began to darken, and countless cracks appeared.

When Richard saw this, he immediately ordered the Axe of the Dead to retreat below.

After a few breaths, the dark light began to spread through the entire underground s.p.a.ce along the mountain of bones.

The last of the energy swallowed the layers of white bones.

The white bones all over the ground turned into black bones.

This visual impact had greatly moved Richard.

“This underground s.p.a.ce was set up for this sacrifice coffin, right?”

He did not know who arranged all this, but it all belonged to him now.

Adamant antic.i.p.ation rose in his heart.

Richard waited for the birth of Twilight City’s second A-rank hero…

The dim light gradually faded after ten minutes or more.And the coffin on the mountain of bones became dim…

[Ding~ Sacrifice completed. You have obtained a new hero unit.]

When the system notification sounded, a white-bandaged arm suddenly extended out from the sacrifice coffin.

Then, a cursed pharaoh, who wore a crown on its head and had two colorful ribbons that floated beside its ears, slowly climbed out of the black coffin.

The soul fire in the cursed pharaoh’s empty eyes was burning.

And below the coffin, there were countless black skeletons.

This scene was similar to some religious murals where evil spirits were born.

It was indescribably terrifying.

The cursed pharaoh gradually walked down the mountain of bones. With every step, the bones under its feet would shatter.

This appearance was invigorating.

The cursed pharaoh slowly walked in front of Richard and knelt on the ground humbly.

“Lord Richard, Gray will listen to your orders.”

The voice seemed to have formed by the vibration of the air without any human emotions.

The corners of Richard’s mouth curled up. The joy in his heart at this moment was no less than the first time he discussed the true meaning of life with his girlfriend.

“No need for formalities.”

As he spoke, he could not hold back the emotions in his heart and immediately opened the other party’s attribute panel.

After Richard gazed at Gray’s attributes a few times, excitement filled his heart.

Was this a battle-type A-rank hero?!

Two A-rank skills, three B-rank skills…

Powerful!

Incomparably powerful!

The hero stacked its combat strength to an exaggerated degree coupled with its characteristics and fetters.

The corners of Richard’s mouth curled up.

Gray had not only inherited the cursed pharaoh’s skill. It had also upgraded it into an Area-of-Effect skill, which had an exaggerated increase in power.

Not to mention those two powerful A-rank skills, its attributes were truly insane.

[Curse Mage — using doubled power magic, directly releasing the skill that was on cooldown.]

If it kept releasing curse words to control the enemy…

Wouldn’t the enemy not be able to move and be controlled to death?

And the Soul Control skill was even more exaggerated. It could control the enemy to make a move…

Could it make the enemy slit its throat?

Or at the crucial moment of the battle, it could control the enemy to give up on defense and reveal its weakness…

It felt this skill would have a powerful effect against those powerful lords.

Moreover, Gray’s heroic characteristic—commanding the mummified troop would increase the casting effect of the army by 50%.

It was also so powerful that it was explosive.

In the future, Richard could starkly hand over the mummified troop to the other party’s commander.

He could even use Gray as the core to form a mummified troop suitable for him to command.

Heroes were essential helpers of a lord.

They had intelligence that was not inferior to or even greater than a lord’s. They could lead a troop to battle, build a territory, and do all the things a lord could do.

If a soldier was a saber, then the hero unit was the hand that held it.

Adele was in charge of the empowerment job. And her help to Twilight City could only be manifested by investing vast resources.

Gray, on the other hand, would be able to play an immense role immediately.

‘Kacha!’

A clear sound interrupted the excited Richard. He subconsciously turned his head to look.

At this time, countless cracks appeared on the sacrifice coffin. And it gradually collapsed.

‘Rumble!’

After the coffin shattered, the mountain of the bones also collapsed with a loud bang that splashed high dust.

Richard felt a bit of a pity. Twilight City could be abolished in one wave if this thing were permanent…

‘Crack!’

Before the dust settled, they heard a sound to a greater degree of a loud crack.

Richard was startled in his heart. He raised his head and looked at the dome of the underground s.p.a.ce.

He saw that there were cracks on it as well.

This scene made his scalp go numb.

He couldn’t care about anything else. He led all the troops and rushed into the tunnel with a wave of his hand.

He would be dead if the collapse swallowed him.

‘Rumble!’

While he was only a hundred meters away from the tunnel, it eventually collapsed.

Countless grains of sand smashed down with the rocks.

“Sand Transformation!”

Richard roared and immediately activated his most powerful life-saving skill.

Fortunately, the troop had refreshed the Sand Transformation skill when they leveled up during the last battle.

‘Rumble!’

No one was able to dodge when the huge rocks smashed down. And their bodies directly collapsed.

After the tunnel collapsed, the fine sand poured down from the top of their heads and filled the gaps between the rocks.

At this moment, the fine sand became a life-saving straw.

Like a fish swam the waters, Richard led the army through the yellow sand and moved toward the ground.

After a long time.

‘Puchi!’

The yellow sand on the surface began to bulge. An arm stretched out of the desert, supported on the sand, and forced the entire body out.

After Richard starkly left the desert, he took a few deep breaths. The air underground was extremely thin, almost suffocated him to death.

As expected, the Sand Transformation skill was most suitable for undead creatures.

At this time, the sky outside was completely dark. A bright moon as big as a millstone hung in the sky above his head. And a mercury-like cold light shrouded the entire desert.

It made the hot yellow sand during the day cool down.

“Huh!”

He let out a long breath, and the excitement in his heart calmed down a little.

He turned around and waited. Soon, the scorpion warriors, undead soldiers, and Gray climbed out.

After Richard checked the troop inventory, he confirmed no casualties.

He laughed out loud.

It was a real narrow escape from death.

If not for the Sand Transformation, he would have died here today.

And the rewards from this adventure were enough to make anyone envious.

He obtained an A-rank hero…

A-rank!!

Hahaha!!!
