Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When they returned to the ancient tomb, Lucy pressed a stone in an inconspicuous position. Then, a secret door appeared.
The girl explained.
“The owner used the tomb outside this ancient tomb to confuse outsiders.”
Richard nodded. As usual, he let two teams of mummies go to investigate first.
After he made sure there was no danger, Gray led the team in. He was the last to enter.
!!
They arrived at the center of the tomb after a few dozen meters.
They found a corpse that wore a black mage robe lying on a pile of dazzling gemstones.
If he liked the treasure dragon here, he would surely go crazy.
And that corpse was just as Lucy said. It was lifelike and no different from a living person.
There was no doubt that the corpse was emitting an aura that made him feel immense pressure.
He could possess such an exaggerated power after being dead for so long. He must have been extraordinary.
He opened the stats panel.
[The Body of Lich Lord]
[Level: Special]
[Characteristics: A body used by liches to change lives.]
[Description: Powerful liches can refine all kinds of bodies and soul phylacteries. One can hide them in secret places for resurrection after death.]
‘Holy crap, Lich Lord?’
Richard was a little surprised.
This was a high-level undead, the limitless ruling class in the undead faction.
One had to have powerful strength if one wanted to become a lich. Otherwise, it could not make a soul phylactery.
Moreover, the word “Lord” hung behind it… It wasn’t a title seen everywhere.
As Richard’s thoughts moved, he seemed to have thought of something.
“That magic ball, could it be the Lich’s soul phylactery?”
His expression was a bit weird. Could those demons be considered to have stolen the Lich’s crystal?
Richard waved his hand, and the mummy carefully carried the Lich Lord’s body out of the tomb.
It was perfect for the bandaged mummy to increase its potential with its majestic amount of energy.
After the mummy moved the body away, Richard’s gaze focused on the pile of old gemstones.
He laughed out loud.
It was what clearing a dungeon would be!!
The greater the risk, the greater the rewards would be.
The moment he came, he destroyed the main strength of the dungeon – the demon faction. The rewards were off the charts.
Richard did not waste any time. He immediately collected all the resources on the ground.
The attribute panel suddenly changed after a moment.
[Gemstones: 750 units]
[Crystals, sulfur, and mercury were still 0.]
This earned him 750 units of rare resources, several times more than the gemstone mine he occupied.
Awesome.
Moreover, those sealed gargoyles just happened to need the gemstones to recruit.
This wave was simply heavenly.
Wait, the Lich Lord prepared gemstones inside to recruit gargoyles after it resurrected, right?
Richard pondered.
But he was in a better mood.
“No matter how many backup plans you’ve set up, now they’re mine…hahaha.”
Richard left enormously delighted after they searched the tomb a few times and ensured no other gains were left.
He began to make calculations in his heart when he walked out of the ancient tomb.
This was only the second day that he entered the dungeon.
He had just obtained two rare-level troop lairs in the seal. And these were already priceless.
Moreover, a hero unit was in the process of transformation. After his troops threw in so many corpses, their potential was precisely not low.
Now, he had obtained rare resources equivalent to a few mineral veins and also the Lich Lord’s body.
Even the level of the troop had also increased.
This bountiful harvest had starkly exceeded his expectations.
“Lord, what should we do with this Lich’s body?”
Richard glanced at the corpses that emitted boundless energy.
“Chop the corpse up and throw the pieces into the blood pool in batches.
“Want to resurrect? Dream on!
“Chop you into minced meat and see what you can use to resurrect.”
A few mummies immediately carried the Lich’s body down and dismembered it.
Richard was worried and ordered Gray to supervise.
A moment later, the system notification suddenly rang.
[Ding~ You have destroyed the body of the Lich Lord, leaving its soul phylactery nowhere to hide. It has melted by the blood pool and is completely dead.]
[You have completed the mission — Exterminate the undead. Dungeon progress increased by 30%. Current dungeon progress is 40%.]
[Ding~ You have completed the mission — Lover’s pain. Dungeon progress increased by 10%. You have rescued Lucy, destined to become a demon hero. Dungeon progress increased by 10%. Current dungeon progress is 60%.]
[Ding~ You took the attack initiative. You annihilated the demon that had not yet given birth to a mighty hero in the cradle. Exceeded the completion of the quest — Annihilate the demon. Dungeon progress increased by 30%. Current dungeon progress is 90%.]
[Ding~ Dungeon progress has exceeded 80%, you can leave any time.]
[Note: After the quest progress exceeds 80%, you can only stay in the dungeon for one day at most.]
When Richard heard the system notification, he looked weird.
“That was it?”
He hadn’t even had a good time, and his progress had already reached 90%.
So the just now dismembered Lich was one of the four factions in the Burning Village dungeon, the undead faction?
Such a big boss was so easy to kill?
He had fought a bloody battle to kill the demon, yet had to kill one to destroy the undead?
Which idiot designed this dungeon? Come. Let me show you what a fist the size of a sandbag is.
However, without the pressure of the mission, Richard also relaxed.
Now, there is no need to rush to do this or that.
Richard stroked his chin, and he looked at Barry. “There’s a strategic treasure in White Tower Town? What kind of treasure is it?”
He wondered if he could rob White Tower Town after he completed the mission.
There was no point in keeping all the good stuff in this 1,000-year-old dungeon. When the time fragments shattered, all of it would be gone.
Lucy shook her head.
“We’ve only heard about it. Only the church’s priest knows about White Tower Town.”
Richard nodded.
It seemed that it was necessary to visit White Tower Town.
The profits from this dungeon were so abundant that they could earn more profit.
Richard returned to the blood pool and opened the Black Gold System. He saw a different notification.
[Blood Pool — Current Fortification Target: Bandaged mummy. Due to the investment of a special corpse with majestic power, the transformation process has undergone a mutation. It can no longer increase its potential through fresh blood and corpses. The transformation process is irreversible. Current Incubation Time: 6 hours.]
‘Is it because of the Lich Lord?’
Richard’s eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that he had inadvertently done a good deed that had significant effects.
Not only had he eliminated the threat of the undead in one fell swoop, but he had also caused a mutation in the bandaged mummy’s sacrifice.
He feared the harvest this time would be exceptionally bountiful as he judged from the Black Gold System notification.
These starkly aroused the anticipation in his heart.
After Gray set up the troop to guard the surroundings, Richard patiently waited.
The blood pool that had been calm all along suddenly changed at ten in the evening.
‘Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!’
Countless bubbles emerged from it.
Then, the water surface began to drop rapidly, as if there was a giant beast that swallowed blood below.
But after the water level dropped to a limit, blood splattered.
A head wrapped in bandages slowly appeared from the pool of blood.
Then, the bandaged mummy crawled out of the pool of blood with blood dripping down.
After the mummy stood up, the bandages absorbed the blood on its body. And it was dry again.
Only then did Richard pronouncedly see the mummy’s appearance.
Blood-colored bandages wrapped its entire body, and the smell of blood permeated the air.
The parts of its face not wrapped in bandages grew flesh and blood, and he no longer looked like a skeleton.
His pair of blood-red eyes looked cold and heartless and could send people chills down the spine.
The exuded aura was powerful and savage, like a wild beast starved for more than ten days.
It gradually walked toward Richard, knelt on one knee, and bowed to him most humbly.
“My Lord, Gunter Fresh Blood, your humble servant offers you the highest respect. Thank you for giving me a new life.”
Richard nodded in satisfaction. The soldiers were eternally loyal to the lord who recruited them, even if the other party became a god.
This was the initial rule of the “Shining Era.”
Judging from the aura, Gunter, this newly promoted hero, was already extremely powerful.
He did not know what the attributes would be.
He opened the attributes panel with full expectations
