Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start

"Fire Elemental Lord, the Arcana Hall is about to collapse. Should we leave this place first?"

Richard suppressed the emotions in his heart and said rationally.

If this boss could survive the collapse here, the Twilight City troop might not.

The Fire Elemental Lord's body surged with majestic energy.

It slowly shook its head.

"I've temporarily controlled the magic array nearby. Don't worry. I'll break through the space and send you back to the surface..."

The constant flames on its body formed a sea of fire and directly enveloped the entire furnace as soon the Fire Elemental Lord finished speaking.

The temperature rose to the extreme.

The surrounding fire elements that surged out also joined in followed. The terrifying flames caused severely distorted the surrounding light rays.

Everything became blurry.

Everyone only saw the flames burning.

However, the flames that seemed to be able to melt steel did not harm the Twilight City troop.

After the flames surged to a certain limit.

They surged out and enveloped Richard.

Richard felt the flames were no longer hot and turned into endless energy that entered his body.

It was as majestic as thousands of mountain waterfalls rushing over.

Every cell in his body crazily devoured the energy that surged into his body.

He felt his strength increase at an unimaginable speed.

At the same time, countless images appeared in his mind.

A mage with a blurry figure stood on the yellow sand, facing a troop of hundreds of thousands of demons. The mage waved a magic mace and instantly swept a startling sandstorm through the sky.

One person destroyed the countless soldiers ahead...

One person blocked a thousand soldiers!

Under a towering city, a mage's body was emitting a yellow light.

Countless yellow sand rolled up like a tsunami in the next moment that directly drowned the entire city.

A tall mountain made of yellow sand appeared on the spot in just a few breaths.

That big city was forcefully wiped away...

******

As those horrifying scenes changed, Richard began to understand how to control magic, yellow sand, and the desert power...

The seemingly boundless energy of the Fire Elemental Lord was too exaggerated. It triggered the power hidden deep in his body.

In the depths of his bloodline, the power of the desert dominator's innate ability gradually recovered and began to circulate crazily.

Richard's body directly turned into countless gravel.

This gravel seemed to have particularly distorted in the raging fire.

Richard, who crazily absorbed all kinds of energy and knowledge, suddenly heard a notification from the system.

[Ding ~ You are changing to a rare level -- Yellow Sand Wizard. Rank compatibility is over 98%. Talent triggered -- Desert Dominator.]

[Rare Level Yellow Sand Wizard is beginning to advance to a glorious level -- Yellow Sand Lord. Please maintain sufficient energy. Without energy, you will fail to advance.]

"Rank... Advanced?!!"

Richard looked at it a few times before he confirmed that it was not a mistake.

A strong sense of surprise instantly surged into his heart.

'Could this work?!'

'Praise the desert!'... He must have visited the goddess of luck in his dream the other night...

Richard could not suppress the excitement in his heart even after taking a few deep breaths. He simply closed his eyes in the end and began to devour the energy around him.

The Fire Elemental Lord had accumulated enormous energy over countless years.

The wizards had imprisoned it here to refine magic materials and make magic puppets.

It would consume its energy every day.

However, after the wizard tower collapsed, the energy gathered by the magic array was no longer used by anyone.

The Fire Elemental Lord could only use a small portion of its power while imprisoned.

Over the long years, the energy had accumulated in the furnace. The remaining was still exaggerated even when most had dissipated.

This was similar to the altar of the central crystal.

Majestic, surging.

Like the stars and the sea, it was endless.

At this moment, Richard's body absorbed energy at a deep-sea whirlpool speed. It got increasingly faster. The flames around him seemed to have encountered a hurricane as they madly fell in his direction.

The scorching energy strengthened every grain of sand in his body after Sand Transformation.

Gradually, those grains of sand became a little hot.

His rank advancement had some subtle changes because of the fire elemental energy.

He didn't know how much time had passed. It seemed like an instant, but it also seemed like half a century had passed.

Richard felt that his strength had increased by more than ten times.

Only then did his body gradually calm down after absorbing the energy...

The moment he opened his eyes, the system notification sounded.

[Ding~ You have activated the power in your bloodline depths during the rank advancement process. You have absorbed a massive amount of fire elemental energy. Rare-level Yellow Sand Wizard has advanced to glorious rank: Yellow Sand Lord. Additional characteristic: Fire resistance. All fire elemental damage received was reduced by 50%.]

Finally... Advanced!!

Richard's spirit instantly soared to the peak.

A powerful aura like a wild beast emitted from his body...

The power of thousand running rivers lurked in his body.

As long as he was willing, he could erupt with an incomparably terrifying power at any time.

At this moment, even someone as powerful as Xina and the two mummy heroes felt heavy pressure.

It was as if someone pressed a sharp blade against his throat, and a deadly aura lingered in his heart...

Richard did not notice this. After taking a few deep breaths, he slowly opened his stats panel.

Glorious level...

Five Beyond A-rank skills!

Richard's heart pounded rapidly.

The emotions in his heart reached their peak at this moment.

He stretched out his right hand, and the yellow sand-like light burned like flames.

He clenched his fist.

'Baah!'

The light dissipated.

He had become Twilight City's pinnacle of battle strength from this moment.

"Human, your talent has exceeded my expectations... The power you control now is enough to amaze mortals."

The Fire Elemental Lord observed Richard and said in a low and muffled voice.

"I initially planned to gift you three B-rank spells. But you obviously won't be able to use them now..."

After it pondered for a moment, the fire lord continued.

"With your talent, you will surely have a bright future... I have Beyond A-rank skill that suits you. Are you willing to exchange the three B-rank spells for it?"

Richard looked at the massive body of flame and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

He nodded decisively.

"Fire Elemental Lord, your sincerity is more dazzling than the sun. I believe in you."

Richard accepted the mission to rescue the lord's opponent and let it free. It was unquestionably the most rewarding mission to date.

This Fire Elemental Lord was his lucky star...

The Fire Elemental Lord, who was in a better mood than Richard, nodded happily.

The wave of the fire lord's hand surged endless fire energy into Richard's body again.

A certain special power began to awaken...

After a long time.

[Ding~ You have received a gift from the Fire Elemental Lord. You have comprehended a new skill -- Double Spellcasting.]

[Double spellcasting: Beyond A-rank. Can cast two spells at the same time.]

'It was this skill!? It is a remarkably robust skill only an extraordinary above level 20 spellcaster could master.'

A detailed description of this skill appeared in Richard's mind.

It was a skill recorded on the "Shining Era's" official website.

He took a deep look at the Fire Elemental Lord.

'Just how powerful is this lord? At level 18, it can master the skill only an extraordinary above level 20 can master.'

When Richard regained his senses and looked at the six Beyond A-rank skills on the attribute panel, his mind couldn't help but waver.

If he wasn't careful, it seemed he had become a boss...
