Richard felt that he had lost 100 million.

After giving it some thought, he did not order the reinforcement of the scorpion warriors. Instead, he ordered his men to summon an undead soldier from the Axe of the Dead.

He motioned to Adele.

“Can you use the fire elemental core to strengthen the Axe of the Dead?”

The scorpion warriors were Rare 3-stars, while the undead soldiers of the Axe of the Dead were Rare 3-stars. There was a big difference in levels.

Directly reinforcing the Axe of the Dead was undoubtedly more rewarding.

The dungeon would open in three days, and their strength should increase as much as possible.

Adele shook her head after checking it wasn’t possible for the ferocious Axe of the Dead.

“I was able to reinforce the Poisonous Scorpion Warrior so quickly because I’ve studied them thoroughly these past few days.

“Everything about the Axe of the Dead is unfamiliar to me… I need time.”

Richard nodded, not surprised.

“On the 28th, Twilight City will participate in an unprecedented battle.

“I need to get an accurate reply before that event. If you don’t have enough time to develop it, reinforce the Poisonous Scorpion Warrior first.”

“As you wish.”

Adele didn’t back down. Instead, excitement filled her eyes.

Such a challenging mission directly aroused her fighting spirit.

‘Ga! Ga!’

A loud and strange sound suddenly came from outside just as Richard was about to continue his conversation with Adele…

It sounded like the voice of some kind of beast.

His heart skipped a beat. He suddenly turned his head and looked outside through the open window.

He saw an enormous shadow flying through the sky at high speed. He didn’t even have time to see what the flying figure was.

Immediately after, a sharp horn sounded throughout Twilight City.

‘Enemy attack!’

Xina, behind Richard, had a condensed look in her eyes. Murderous intent filled her being.

“Venom vultures!!”

“Lord Richard, venom vulture is a powerful hunter in the desert. It likes to attack human territory and kill humans…”

Richard frowned.

“It likes to attack human territory?

“How dare of them!”

He waved his hand and left 100 fire elemental cores behind. Then, he turned around and left the blacksmith’s shop.

He wanted to see how fierce these soldiers were!

The moment he stepped out of the blacksmith’s shop, an enormous shadow flashed across the sky.

He looked carefully and saw the true face of the venom vultures.

These terrifying monsters had a more than 12 meters wingspan and bare gray heads. They had disgusting blue pustules. Each of them contained lethal poison.

The vast beak on their mouths was like a butcher’s iron hook, And it could easily pierce through a warrior’s thick armor.

Their pair of sharp claws shone with a cold blue light that made one’s scalp tingle. Their power attack was startling and carried a paralyzing poison.

Even if an opponent did not die on the spot after being hit, the poison would still corrode the opponent.

Venom vulture, level 8, Rare 2-stars.

Within a few times, several venom vultures swarmed into the sky.

The number exceeded two squadrons. They almost covered the sun.

The dark gargoyles had already risen into the sky when the enemy appeared. They forcefully clashed with the enemy.

Gray and Gunter seized the opportunity and sat on two of the dark gargoyles to participate in this sudden battle.

However, it happened so suddenly that no one had expected it.

Even with the help of the two A-rank heroes, the battle was unusually intense.

The claws of the venom vultures and the eagle’s beak were terrifying sharp weapons. They would be heavily injured as long as they attack the enemies.

These vultures were exceedingly agile in the air. The difficulty of Gray and Gunter’s spellcasting increased significantly.

Moreover, they had to protect the residents on the ground, so their magic effects were greatly reduced.

However, although they were at a disadvantage, under the command of the two heroes, the dark gargoyles did not show any signs of weakness.

Although they were few, they forcefully withstood the enemy attacks, which was several times more than the number of the enemy. They did not let the sudden appearance of these wild monsters affect Twilight City too much.

The residents fled in all directions amidst the chaos. The screams and cries made the scene even more chaotic…

After the battle broke out, all the troops in Twilight City came to the streets to maintain law and order and prevent the enemy from breaking into the ground.

However, other than the long-range attacks of the Axe of the Dead, few of the Cursed Pharaoh’s magic spells could also be used. They attacked the poisonous flying vultures in the air.

The other troops could only watch helplessly.

This scene hurt Richard. There was still an enormous loophole in Twilight City’s defense.

The lack of long-range attacks could be fatal to the city’s defense.

At this moment, he was determined to arm the city to the teeth in the future!!

The battle power sizzles.

After Gray controlled a poisonous vulture, the sharp claws of the dark gargoyle directly pierced through its head. It flapped its wings a few times and then suddenly fell.

‘Kacha!’

It directly destroyed a residential house and sent dust everywhere.

To Richard’s surprise, he initially thought the poison vultures attacked Twilight City.

However, he didn’t expect that after they blocked several attacks, the terrifying wild monsters didn’t linger in the sky above Twilight City and directly fly towards the Russian olive forest in the north… It seemed that the attack just now was a false shot.

In his line of sight, he saw that the poison vultures seemed to swoop down from the sky. They wanted to break through the barrier of the dark gargoyles. He was shocked.

Naturally, the venom vultures were not interested in the Russian olive forest.

The real purpose of these wild monsters was…! Desert Crown Bee!!!!!

Not good!

Richard’s face was cold as he stretched out his right hand.

Endless yellow sand flashed.

In the next second, the sand outside Twilight City was like iron filings attracted by a magnet that floated and surged over.

‘Huff! Huff!’

The yellow sand instantly covered the residents’ vision creating a sandstorm out of thin air.

Amidst the yellow sand that filled the sky, Richard suddenly rose to 100 meters high after a few breaths.

He flew in the air.

He flew to the olive forest at an exceedingly fast speed.

At this time, the dark gargoyles were still desperately trying to stop the venom vultures from charging down.

The two mummy heroes had sensed each other’s true purpose and worked hard to build a defensive line…

However, the Desert Crown Bees seemed to have an exceedingly paralyzing potent temptation. These monsters would not retreat even if they fought to the death.

After they heard the buzzing sound of the bees, they became even more berserk…

When Richard, who came with the sandstorm, saw this scene, A cold light filled his eyes.

“Gray, Gunter, land!”

They heard a somewhat erratic voice. The two mummy heroes immediately commanded the dark gargoyles to fall into the Russian olive forest.

The yellow sand on Richard’s body shone brightly in the next second.

Countless grains of sand floated from the ground and covered the sky above the Russian olive forest in a few blinks of an eye.

From a kilometer away, one could see an oval-shaped sand ring that spanned hundreds of meters and rotated in the air.

The yellow sand pressed down on the city.

At this moment, the residents of Twilight City saw a shocking scene.

The yellow sand that covered the sky ignited like gasoline and instantly exploded.

‘Boom!’

Flames engulfed the sky, and the light reflected dozens of kilometers away.

At this moment, every grain of yellow sand seemed to have become combustible.

When the residents saw this scene, endless fear rose in their eyes. Those flames could envelop the Russian olive forest!!

But in the next second, despair turned into shock.

After that terrifying flame burst, it pressed at 10 meters above the Russian olive forest, and there was no fluctuation.

[Flame Sandstorm (Beyond A-rank) — Causes a sandstorm within a 300-meter radius, with a huge amount of fire magic damage. Consumes 50 magic energy points per second.]

The ground below was unharmed. The poisonous vulture in the air became the fuel trapped in the vast furnace.

The terrifying Flame Sandstorm swirled and burned with flames. The red flames caused damage and pain to the body.

The venom vultures wanted to fly out, but to their surprise, the Flame Sandstorm had become a massive vortex.

It was spinning at an unimaginable speed, and no matter how much they flapped their wings, they could not escape the fire vortex.

It was almost impossible for them to escape.

Except for the venom vultures in the outermost area who escaped when the flames lit up.

At least one and a half squadrons of venom vultures were smothered and killed above the Russian olive forest.

After a few breaths.

‘Huhuhu!’

One after another, the Flame Sandstorm killed the venom vultures and fell from the sky.

But when they tried to smash into the Russian olive forest, Flame Sandstorm blew the venom vultures away.

‘Bang!’

The stout body smashed into the yellow sand, creating huge holes in the sand.

The Twilight City troop, who waited on the ground, immediately went forward to control the enemies left alive.

However, when they came up to them… They found that none of them were alive.

A Beyond A-rank skill – Flame Sandstorm.

Horrible injury.

When the magic energy in Richard’s body was exhausted, the terrifying Flame Sandstorm vortex gradually dissipated.

This time, although his magic energy was overdrawn under his control, it did not have the negative effect of 50% of all attributes.

As Richard took advantage of his remaining strength, he waved his hand, and the sand in the air slowly fell beside the Russian olive forest. After a great battle, the olive trees were still verdant…

After he sighed, he looked down and saw corpses of highly toxic vultures had filled the ground.

After he felt relieved, he turned his head to look at the fleeing venomous vultures and waved his hand.

“Gray, bring the dark gargoyles and chase after the vultures!! I want to know where these venomous vultures originated! Find their lair!!”

This attack was too sudden and strange and gave him a bad feeling.
