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

"Soul Execution!"

Out of the 20 undead soldiers of the Axe of the Dead lair, one of them had finally triggered the kill skill.

The flame demon commander could still experience lore before its death, so it could not be unjustified death.

The death of the demon hero immediately caused great chaos among the remaining demons.

The chaotic nature immediately erupted without the suppression of the higher-level demons.

Just as Richard was about to take advantage of the situation and pursue the enemy.

'Pak!'

A crisp whipping sound rang out.

The D-rank demon hero who had just led the inferior demons to attack the troop of Twilight City on the steep slope now waved its flame whip to stop the chaotic demon troop.

"Kill them!!"

Richard heard the movement and turned his head abruptly to look in the direction of the demon hero.

His eyes were cold.

"He still dared to show his face?!"

"How brave!"

He glanced at the attribute panel of the soldier beside him. There were only three minutes left before the sand disappeared.

He had to subdue the demon hero at the last minute.

"Gray, the troop in front of the weakened demon hero will be the scorpion warriors. And bandaged mummies will turn around and tear apart the enemy's defense line! I want him dead!"

Richard gave the order. There was no need to flash the dark light on Gray's body multiple times.

[Pharaoh's Curse (B-rank) -- Able to cast curses on enemies within a 10 * 10-meter radius. Upon casting, the enemy will fall into a weakened state. All attributes will be reduced by 30%. Lasts for 5 minutes. Cooldown Time: 3 minutes. Consumes 50 mana points.]

A B-rank curse meant all attributes were reduced.

The strength of the inferior and the fallen demons in the front fell sharply.

The enemy was weak, while the Twilight troops were strong. The barbarous charge of the scorpion warriors and the bandaged mummies immediately tore holes.

Although the demon heroes behind kept roaring and commanding, they could only watch as the demon troops severed into pieces.

There were too many enemies.

Time passed. The Sand Transformation was about to end.

Richard opened his eyes.

"Tomahawk Slash!"

'Huhu!'

Twenty tomahawks whizzed out.

'Kacha!'

Countless shards exploded. The dense formation of the demons maximized this powerful skill to the greatest extent.

'Swoosh!'

A large area in front of Richard was cleared and instantly became a flat path.

The scorpion warriors charged forward fiercely and approached the demon commander at high speed.

However, to Richard's surprise, when the scorpion warriors broke through the 50-meter distance, the flame demon commander suddenly turned around and fled.

He did not react until the enemy's figure disappeared amidst the demons.

'Damn it! I thought you were so fierce that you still dared to take over the command…'

After the flame demon commander failed to take over the battle and lost the suppression of the heroes for the second time, the chaotic nature of the demons completely erupted.

Some turned around and ran. Some grabbed companions' corpses and began to gnaw on them. And others continued to attack the Twilight City troops.

Some of the inferior demons even went berserk and directly attacked their companions...

The demon troops that had just caused considerable pressure on Richard turned into a pile of loose sand in the blink of an eye.

The threat level of the troop without a hero to command dropped drastically.

"With me as the core to shrink the formation. The scorpion warriors will continue to be the spearhead and push forward! The undead soldiers will freely hunt."

Richard immediately gathered the troops without threat and swept the area with his sturdiest stance.

The battlefield turned into a meat grinder.

However, only the demons were crushed.

Whether the tyrannical inferior demons, the fallen demons that kept spewing abyss profanities, or the agile goat-horned monsters.

To face the advance of Twilight City troops without command was like a mantis swiftly crushed while trying to block a chariot.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The dense demons let the Twilight City troops kill to their heart's content. Even the cursed pharaoh had personally killed the souls of a few inferior demons.

Richard did not know how many demons he had killed in the end. All he knew was the front valley was already covered with corpses.

When his line of sight suddenly widened, he looked back and saw no traces of demons in the surroundings.

The last glow of Twilight City had long disappeared into the air, and the bright moon the size of a millstone shrouded the land.

The silver light added an endless atmosphere of terror to the blood-red land.

While Richard stood in front of the Demon Valley, one could hear his breath alone.

The surrounding mountains had lost traces of life because of the fire. And the valley had become quiet because of him.

A strong sense of accomplishment arose in his heart as he looked at the silver and blood-colored battlefield.

The demon corpses everywhere were medals of glory.

His development during this period proved to be the best.

Gray's control, the Soul Execution of the Axe of the Dead, the assault of the scorpion warriors, and the tenacity of the bandaged mummies... The combat strength of these troops was mightier than he had imagined.

The final victor of this battle belonged to him alone.

He could enjoy all the spoils of war alone.

Moreover, in such an intense battle, only one small team of mummies died.

After two big battles, six small teams of bandaged mummies were left, with five small teams.

Although the scorpion warriors and the undead soldiers of the Axe of the Dead looked disheveled. They were not severely damaged.

This allowed him to be filled with achievements.

Twilight City had finally developed gradually.

[Ding~ The troop you led has annihilated a large group of demons and obtained a victory in a medium-sized battle. You have earned 20,000 experience points.]

[Ding~ The Poisonous Scorpion Warrior, the Bandaged Mummy, and the Axe of the Dead. The three troop lairs have experienced several battles, and their levels have increased. Current Level: 7]

[Ding~ The Cursed Pharaoh has experienced a massive number of battles. Its level has increased. Current Level: 5.]

"Damn it! 20,000 experience points!"

Richard watched his leveling progress increase by a large margin and laughed loudly.

It was just clearing a dungeon.

How long had it been? He had already earned over 20,000 experience points!

He glanced at this level.

[Level 5 (42,620/50,000)]

He was only 7,000 to 8,000 experience points away from leveling up again.

"Lord Richard..."

At this moment, a weak voice interrupted his thoughts. Richard turned around and saw Barry with bandages wrapped around his wrist.

Barry looked at Richard with a complicated gaze of awe, anticipation, and fear.

"Can I, can I follow you into the Demon Valley? Lucy is still waiting for me!"

The poor girl…

She was the one who had contributed the blood that lured the demons.

Richard nodded. Since he had given his promise, he would surely do it. It was just his bottom line.

He turned his head to look at the quiet Demon Valley. Now, he could go and receive the final fruits of victory.

"Follow behind."

After Richard had said that, he turned around and led the troops, whose bodies were dyed red with blood, into the Demon Valley.

Compared to the daytime, the valley was now empty.

There were piles of rubble everywhere, and it was indeed messy.

In the area that the demons had dug, many deep holes were already in the side of the mountain.

"Is this the ancient tomb? Barry, where are the two troop lairs?"

Although Barry desperately wanted to go in to find his girl, he had no choice but to stop.

He stretched out his hand to indicate the center.

"Lord, you can see it when you enter the cave..."

Richard waved his hand and took a few prepared torches from the system space. He let a small team of bandaged mummies go to explore.

After he received the message that it was safe inside, he ordered Gray to lead the team into the cave. He stepped into the cave after he had confirmed there was no danger for the second time.

Richard's vision suddenly widened under the dim light of the torch after he passed through a narrow passage that was dozens of meters long.

The air in this ancient tomb was slightly damp and rotten.

White bones and corpses covered the ground, which seemed to be caused by the burial.

Many of the white bones had turned black and had even undergone large-scale weathering.

This tomb had gone through a long time.

In the center of the tomb, there was an empty altar. Behind the altar, a coffin was starkly rotten.

Traces left behind by the Demons'exploration could be seen in the surroundings.

And the most eye-catching ones were the two five-meter-tall statues behind the rotten coffin.

A pair of wings folded. And the front and back legs squatted on the rock. They had sharp claws and teeth, and their faces were exceedingly ugly.

"Lord Richard, this is the ancient tomb... We found the magic ball on the altar in front of the coffin. The two stone statues are the troop lairs… But Lucy said that the two troop lair needs to be re-activated to recruit soldiers. Those demons must be digging the mountain rocks to move these two statues out."

Richard felt a sense of anticipation while he looked at the imposing statues.

Opening the stats panel, he subconsciously held his breath the next second.
