Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start Novel - Chapter 394
394 Chapter 312: Contract with the Dark Valkyrie [1/2]
When Richard heard the words of Karu, in his mind flashed the image of the glorious divine power he felt when he manipulated the sandman to pass through the spatial rift supported by the dark spar.
That suffocating feeling was even more incredible than when the kobold god had appeared in the sky above Twilight City.
One couldn’t simply describe it with words. At that moment, it froze its soul.
When Richard suddenly heard that the god’s ancient tree planted the tree in the dark plane, he was surprised.
!!
His gaze was solemn.
“How’s Treebeard’s condition? Did it find anything strange in the dark plane?”
Head Butler Karu could hear the seriousness in his voice. And his tone became even more profound.
“Lord, Treebeard is fine. It closed the spatial rift. But Treebeard is still stationed nearby and has not left.
Richard raised an eyebrow.
“Where is it? Take me there immediately.”
“Yes, Lord!”
Karu didn’t hesitate. He immediately ordered the soldiers who knew the location of the god’s ancient tree to lead the way.
Richard ordered the resurrected soldiers to disperse and guard the city walls. He then left Twilight City with Renee and Alves.
North, outside the land of quicksand.
On the pitch-black earth, a vast tree man rooted there.
From a distance, the dried branches looked like the arms of a dried-up corpse. The crown of the wasps flew all over the place and made a heart-wrenching buzzing sound.
It made people feel enormous pressure just by looking at it.
In addition to the thick dark clouds in the sky, horror shrouded filled everything there.
Alves flapped its broken dragon wings and approached quickly. Richard sat on its back and sensed nothing wrong with Treebeard. It put to rest his worries.
Alves landed on the ground. Richard flipped down and walked to the base of the god’s ancient tree’s tall trunk.
“Treebeard, what happened here? How did you get to that dark plane?”
The tree trunk revealed a twisted face.
“Lord…”
A low, muffled voice sounded.
“After I killed the void hunter that guarded the dark crystal, I sensed the dark energy I needed on the other side of the spatial rift…
“So I extended my roots inside.
“My soul transformed and obtained a new ability–Seed Sow after I devoured tons of energy.
“At that moment, a soul-crushing aura came from that plane and chopped off my roots.
“For safety reasons, I pushed away the dark crystal that supported the spatial rift. It disappeared without a trace after I lost its support, and the soul-crushing aura also disappeared.
“But after that, I suddenly felt the few chopped-off roots start to sprout.
“And I’m still connected to the seed even though I’m in a different plane.”
Treebeard’s story piqued Richard’s interest.
“A new ability? Seed Sow?”
Richard immediately opened the attribute panel of Treebeard.
At this point, the level 13 boss had already reached level 14.
And in addition to the initial skill, there was an additional skill.
[Seed Sow (A-rank) — Can sow 5,000 seeds and grow them into dark treants. Each dark treant is level 5 of the user’s level. After the limit, it can consume tons of energy to upgrade the treant’s level. For every 1,000 dark treants born, it can cultivate a treant hero. If the user dies, it can revive the hero among these treants.]
The attributes were still worthy.
In addition to the ability to breed venomous wasps, the god’s ancient tree was utterly on the path of one man against a troop.
Moreover, after it died, it could use these treants to resurrect. It made him even more overbearing.
“The dark plane did not reject your seeds?”
The god’s ancient tree shook its trunk.
The voice slowly rang out.
The roots have devoured the dark energy and are no different from the aura of a void hunter…
Richard understood.
He didn’t mind about it. He thought about what this could bring to Twilight City.
He could sense a lot of room for manipulation.
As his thoughts turned, he searched for the essence of the problem…
‘Which dark plane had something of value?
‘Or rather, was there something Twilight City needed in that plane?’
Richard’s eyes brightened as the answer appeared in his mind.
“Void licker.”
The infinite number of void lickers from the spatial rifts might be a massive disaster for others. But they were a unique and rare resource for Twilight City.
It was because the god’s ancient tree needed it.
Whether it was to increase its level or to breed venomous wasps, Treebeard needed corpses. With the additional treants, the god’s ancient tree’s demand hugely increased.
Moreover, the monsters that contained a massive amount of dark energy could also help in the transformation.
If it could open a spatial rift after it left this instance dungeon and continuously lure the void foragers out, it could escape.
Without a doubt, the god’s ancient tree had found a long-term and stable source of experience.
It was the quickest benefit to achieve. When Twilight City becomes undisputed in the future, there will be more things to do… For example, conquer a plane.
When Richard thought of this, his mood immediately became better.
To open a spatial rift might have been very difficult in the past.
However, he had the void sandworm.
It was a life praised by the President of the Scarlet Council and the ultimate boss who had wiped the plane with his bare hands in the previous dungeon.
As long as the void sandworm matured, this wouldn’t be a big problem.
