818 Chapter 497: Riot of the Wild Monsters, Rotten Aura

The blood rain that engulfed the entire world lasted for two hours.

The blood raindrops gradually dwindled. Richard looked around and saw a glaring array of blood that shrouded the entire desert.

...

It was like it had become a sea of blood in the abyss of hell.

That gradually eroded the world.

The 2,000 dark treants outside the city had the most remarkable changes. Countless lines of blood flowed from the cracks in their barks. The initially evil and dark appearance now had an additional layer of ancient god aura.

One couldn’t describe the aura of an ancient god with words. It was like a feeling that had mottled, weathered, and faded.

One would remember it for the rest of his life. And he would never forget it, even if he had only seen it once.

The god’s ancient tree sowed seeds that had obtained additional B-rank skill after the blood raindrops–Blood of the Ancient God. Activating the Blood of the Ancient God would increase one’s strength by 50% for 10 minutes.

This skill could be considered a high-grade skill even for the ferocious dark treants.

These skills were free. That was the most important thing. And the pure world traded nothing.

It did not consume any resources.

But one couldn’t tell yet as for the consequences.

Their levels rose from level 14 to 16 in just two hours. That made Richard’s imagination run wild.

He had crossed the gap between a high-level soldier and a top-tier soldier. His strength had soared by a large margin.

Those lifeforms could have been born with a strong ability to absorb energy like rainwater.

And these soldiers were truly terrifying existences. The level 7 abomination tree boss rose to level 18 in this encounter.

The skill it obtained, the Body of the Ancient God, rose from the initial E-rank to A-rank. It will reduce 75% of the damage it will receive from divine spells.

God-bestowed spell! A spell bestowed by a god or related to a cult.

That was simply a great killing weapon for the enemies.

Existence at the god’s ancient tree level could obtain such an enormous reinforcement in such a short time.

Richard couldn’t imagine how much of a disturbance this world-covering blood rain would cause.

The ancient gods of the past, the rulers of the world rules, announced their power to the world in a shocking way.

Windsor won the first move.

Next, it was up to the gods to counterattack and kill the enemy that terrified them.

That would be an unprecedented upheaval.

“Lord…The rain has stopped.”

Gray’s solemn voice came from beside him.

Richard took a deep breath and turned to look at the mummy hero.

He ordered decisively.

“Immediately send the troops out to investigate. I need to know all the changes in the surroundings!”

“As you wish, my Lord!”

Gray didn’t hesitate at all. It quickly obeyed. More than ten teams of stone statues of the dead flew out of the city not long after and spread out in all directions.

They could immediately sense the energy that drifted in the air as soon as they flew out of Twilight City.

That was especially true for the blood on the ground. That was tempting at all times.

However, that had not tempted Gray at all. It knew a principle. Everything comes with a price.

It was true that he could increase his strength in a short time. But what could be the price?

The Crimson Moon in the sky could bestow power to this world, but one could also take it back.

Who could resist when one would withdraw this power? At least, one couldn’t.

The gray-haired Karu walked over with hurried steps quickly after Gray left.

The old butler heavily panted before he could stand firm.

“Lord Richard! We received an urgent report from the underworld!”

Richard perked up.

“The underground world?”

He asked in a grave tone.

“What is it?”

Butler Karu said hurriedly, “News just came from the underground world. A blood-colored moon has risen in the underground world. The blood rain swept through them!

“The blood rain in the underground world lasted only half an hour.

“However, that had vastly reinforced those lives drenched in the blood rain. It had tremendously stimulated the wild beasts in the wilderness and started to riot.

“Some powerful monsters have already attacked the tribes and gathered places in the underground world.

“They had not spared the Bloodhoof City and Fortress City. They have entered their highest level of defense.”

Richard raised an eyebrow.

He did not expect the underground world to change before the rise of the first wave of the Crimson Moon in Twilight City.

Butler Karu took a few deep breaths before he finished.

“Bloodhoof City has also detected a remarkable spatial fluctuation several hundred meters away from them.

“A plane must have planned to merge with the underground world.

“That plane emitted an aura very similar to the superior races of the Dungeon Race…the undead eight-armed Nagas.

“Among the Dungeon Race, eight-armed Nagas were natural-born warriors and spellcasters. They are almost invincible on the battlefield because of their eight arms. Once that plane had become the Naga Tribe, the underground world would face a huge impact.

“Every Naga Tribe has at least a transcendent that oversees them. This tribe that seeks to conquer and rule is leeway-filled…”

Richard suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

‘Traces of other planes had appeared in the underground world?! And it was the famous Nagas in the “Shining Era?!”‘

That wouldn’t cause massive consequences with the strength of the underworld and Twilight City, although the first piece of news surprised him.

However, it would be different if a dimensional plane fused with it.

That could even directly change the ecological structure of the underground world.

The underground world Richard had spent a lot of effort to conquer would become a new battlefield if he couldn’t sternly stabilize.

That was something he absolutely could not tolerate.

He needed a stable base for production. The underground world occupied an irreplaceable position in the current system of Twilight City.

There shouldn’t be any mistakes, no matter what happens.

Richard forcefully restrained his thoughts, but he calmly ordered.

“Pass down my order. Tell Loreinna to lead the Vampire Tribe troop in the underground world to suppress the storm as quickly as possible. I don’t want to hear any unrest!”

“Tell Loreinna to investigate the situation in that space.”

“I need more detailed information!”

The vampire castle emitted an aura that could purify the blood of the vampires because it fused to an unknown evil plane.

Therefore, he hadn’t summoned Loreinna back to guard the place.

However, it was not that he did not have any preparations. The void sandworm’s passageway had connected to the castle since the other day, and the Vampire Tribe troop was also on standby.

These natural-born flying troops could return to Twilight City within a few minutes as long as he gave the order.

Butler Karu nodded solemnly.

“As you wish, my Lord!”

Richard waved at him when he was about to come down.

“We can’t give up on the vampire castle either. Leave a squadron of vampires to guard it. Tell them to leave at once if they encounter a mighty enemy. Don’t confront them. That castle is so close to the Ice Empire. We will need it in the future.”

“Yes, Lord!”

Master Karu hurriedly left after he ensured Richard still had nothing to say.

Richard watched the figure disappear and looked forward again.

He looked at the yellow sand under the night sky under the Crimson Moon.

The dark treants in front of the city wall were still in a unique state of excitement. They incessantly extended their dried branches.

The large patches of blood-dyed lumps had convexed the dried-up desert. It looked like a land of death after countless lives were lost.

The scene had just calmed down for a while.

‘Rumble!’

‘Kacha!’

A blinding bolt of lightning exploded at the end of Richard’s sight.

Then, a rumble of thunder sounded.

At this moment, it was as if the world had split apart.

On the city wall, all the soldiers raised their heads to look.

On the horizon, countless bolts of lightning exploded.

Wave after wave of light expelled the blood that covered the world.

It was as if someone endured the wrath of the god of thunder.

Silver dragons danced wildly, and lightning connected into a line.

The rumbling thunder was enough to make the ancient soldier’s heart tremble.

This unfathomable power-filled scene for ten minutes before the lightning gradually disappeared.

The world darkened again when the light no longer dispersed the bloody light in the sky.

However, everyone felt that it was different.

At that moment, an inexplicable aura came from where the lightning exploded.

One could see it from tens of kilometers away.

The rain stopped, and the troops immediately evacuated the last batch of residents to the holy land.

The lord of the dune happened to be in the crowd.

The lightning disappeared when he stepped out of the city gate.

He twitched his nose and took a few short breaths. His expression became extremely solemn.

That feeling!

The chubby little fellow who held his hand tightly and was initially sparingly afraid at the moment walked bravely before him.

At this moment, the little fellow turned around and looked at Maddie in confusion.

“Grandpa…What’s that smell? Why does it smell like a rotten rat?”

“Rotten!”

The Dune Lord followed the little fellow’s words and instantly caught the keyword.

He sensed that aura from the evil tree in Twilight City following the lightning and thunder in the sky.

The rotten, dilapidated, and disgusting stench filled the air.

‘That was? The rotten authority.’

The Dune Lord took a deep breath and subconsciously turned his head to look at the city wall enveloped in crimson light.

At this moment, the mummy troop, the alchemical cannons with exaggerated calibers, and the tall arrow tower behind them glowed with blood-red light. That gave off a strong visual impact.

However, Maddie ignored these troops. He stared gravely at somewhere instead.

It was the west side of Twilight City, the city wall area where the city ruler was.

The Dune Lord took a deep breath and retracted his gaze. He held the little fellow’s hand tightly and quickened his pace.

The little fellow seemed to have sensed the emotions of the Dune Lord and called out in confusion.

“Grandpa…What’s wrong?”

The Dune Lord looked down at the muddy and wet blood-colored yellow sand. His turbid eyes flashed with emotions that were difficult for outsiders to understand.

“The enemies of Twilight City…they’re here.”

A stern figure stood on the city wall.

Richard fixed his gaze on the area shrouded in lightning.

He was more familiar with that rotten authority than anyone else.

The ruler of the 333rd level of the bottomless abyss. The king of decay.

The god’s ancient tree grasped this power from this abyssal ruler.

The enemy was coming.

As for coincidence? No, there were not many coincidences in this world!

Is the god of conspiracy here? Spider Goddess Lolita wasn’t someone who would suffer losses. That made him feel even more pressured.

“Everyone, stay alert!”

The cold voice resounded throughout the entire city. The troops had been on high alert and gripped their weapons tightly. They would immediately unleash a fatal attack as soon as the enemy appeared.

Richard fixed his eyes on the area that consistently emitted a rotten smell.

He did not move for a long time.

It was not until 20 minutes later that a team of stone statues of the dead returned from afar that the tense atmosphere eased sparingly.

Gunter, the blood-colored bandages-wrapped mummy hero, reported after it stepped on the city wall.

“Lord, we have already checked the area with the strange movements. The surrounding space is very slim.

“The other plane is expected to merge with the desert of death within a week and create a relatively stable spatial passageway.

“And during this time, we can’t rule out the possibility of a troop descending upon the desert of death…”

“A week?”

Richard’s tensed heart relaxed sparingly.

Fortunately, the troop king of decay didn’t appear immediately. So there was still time to prepare.

“Tell Loreinna to calm down the storm in the underground world within three days, no, two days!

“I order her to return to Twilight City immediately after two days as long as threats no longer engulf Fortress and Bloodhoof City!

“Also, let the void sandworms continuously connect to the space where Xina and Fay are…Twilight City needs them now!”
