149 Chapter 137: Five Great Demon Corpses Obtained [2/3]
"Lord, there's a small island ahead..."
"If you still plan to return to that lake to retrieve Sir Ferguson's items, I suggest leaving the troops here.
"After such a long time, perhaps, the battle between the templar dragoons and the great demons has ended..."
Richard nodded.
If it were not for the time limit, he would have waited a day or two before going.
The risk now was too considerable. The great demons and the templar dragoons were not easy to be trifled...
Unfortunately, he only had six hours.
"Call Gray back. We'll leave the troop here."
As Richard spoke, his body flashed with light that increased the speed of the sand platform.
After Twilight City troops traveled less than a kilometer, they saw the small island Gunter had mentioned.
The fog around the small island, which had been much thinner on the river surface, was exceptionally dense.
It was the appropriate place to hide.
Richard had hidden the entire troop under the small island. For safety reasons, he had left four teams of dark gargoyles here while letting Gray stay behind to guard.
The troops had to be commanded by a hero. Otherwise, they could not make an accurate judgment in a critical situation.
Moreover, Richard did not have much confidence in this adventure.
He and Gunter could resurrect. After dying for a few minutes, they would become a hero again. Gray would not be able to do it.
An A-rank hero had died. Who knew how many points it would take to resurrect?...
After Richard had arranged everything.
Richard did not hesitate and led Gunter's two teams of dark gargoyles into the water again when he fully restored his magic energy.
Without the pressure from his troops, Richard was at full speed.
The amount of magic energy he used to drag his soldiers was negligible.
Seven to eight minutes later, they returned to the small island they had just left.
At this time, the sounds of battle on the horizon had yet to stop...
Richard ordered Gunter to wait here for the time being while he rode on a gargoyle and slowly left the thick fog. His vision reflected the battlefield once again.
While he was away, the battle between the great demons and the templar dragoons had not stopped and reached a state of madness.
The number of both sides had decreased. No matter how high-level the military was, the stalemate couldn't continue.
He even saw a giant dragon corpse smashed into the dilapidated buildings of the village.
Unfortunately, the distance was too far...
Richard knew the battle was about to end.
The moment this thought arose.
'Whoosh!'
The world suddenly changed color.
In the next second, a shocking scene appeared on the field.
The demon chariot that the Level-18 Mind Eater Demon was riding on ultimately flew straight into the air.
The three-story tall demon chariot turned into a floating fortress.
A vast magic shield enveloped the surroundings, and its strength could withstand dragon breath.
The demon mage above had become the main point of attack.
The heavy siege weapons were also fully deployed.
The scene revealed before their eyes a ferocious war machine that floated in the air.
This scene was extremely eye-catching.
"No wonder the demons always pull the chariot when they appear... I used to think that it was just for show. This thing is an aircraft carrier."
On the demonic throne of heads and gemstones, the Level-18 Mind Eater Demon stood. The black mace in its hand glowed endless dark light.
"No, no, no, no, no."
Under the great roar of the profanity of the abyss.
'Boom! Boom!'
The sky is full of thunderbolts.
The silver dragon danced wildly, and lightning pierced the magic shield and struck the mace raised by the Mind Eater Demon.
The demon chariot galloped amidst the lightning like it was a divine creation.
At the same time, the demon mage on top of the demon chariot frantically channeled magic power into the Mind Eater Demon's body.
The bright lightning reflected the Mind Eater Demon's ferocious face.
It seemed to have transformed into the god of lightning at this moment. And the power in its hands was enough to tear apart the sky and the earth.
The templar dragoons felt a colossal threat at this moment, and they fled frantically.
However, the great demon who had been dodging all this time appeared brazenly at this moment, ignoring its own life and death to stop the templar dragoons who wanted to escape.
This sudden scene made Richard feel an unprecedented opportunity.
He did not have time to explain to Gunter and directly flipped over from the dark gargoyle's body and fell into the water.
'Splash!'
The lake water soaked his body, and countless grains of sand surged up from below.
In an instant, a heavy sand armor condensed on his body.
Pushed by the grains of sand, his body quickly rushed forward in the water. In a few breaths, he was close to the shore.
When he left the water, Richard's body had already turned into countless grains of sand...
He turned his head and looked around. The first thing he saw was the withered tree that Ferguson had mentioned. Fortunately, this thing had avoided the destruction of the dragon breath.
A broken path appeared in front of him from behind.
His body flew up.
'Rumble!'
A vast light flashed in the sky. Terrifying energy burst out and tore half of the sky apart.
Because of the angle, he could no longer see the shocking scene of a Level-18 Mind Eater Demon driving a war chariot against the templar dragoons.
He had no time to care about anything else and quickly sneaked into the village.
The aftermath of the battle just now had almost wiped out all the demons in the village.
After he entered, he did not encounter any enemies blocking his way.
While he held the ruby given by Ferguson, that unique aura guided him to hide behind the ruins of the collapsed houses.
He quickly flew to the secret place of the village -- the dungeon.
The entrance to the dungeon was already more than half broken, and it seemed like it could collapse at any time.
The flames caused by the dragon breath were still burning outside, and the smoke was enormously pervasive.
Richard felt the heat from the ruby and immediately entered the dungeon in a flash.
The almost abandoned building had a long period of uninhabited coldness.
