Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start Novel - Chapter 952
952 Chapter 537: The Secret of the Obelisk [2/3]
“Let’s go.”
He finished speaking and flipped over. He sat on the back of the dragon’s back with crimson energy.
The skeleton blood dragon carried several players.
The Beyond A-rank hero with a wingspan of more than 40 meters flew into the sky under the respectful gazes of the Lion City soldiers.
The troops behind him immediately followed.
The fanatical gazes of the Lion City’s guards sent them off.
The flying experience in Ell was different from the desert. It was only a little over February, and the cold brought by winter was still far from dissipating.
Frost Grass was everywhere.
It was as if the translucent gauze reflected the light of the sky. The ground sparkled. It looked like it had a different charm.
That was according to the map.
The obelisk was in the center of Ell, near its capital.
The external threats in this area disappeared after Richard eliminated Raging Blood Duke.
Unfortunately, it would take at least a month or two for Tundel to integrate the Ell Plane. Otherwise, he would waste his time if he used the Ell Plane’s power to participate in this attack.
The troop flew agilely. The soldiers had swept across a large area of land, mountains, rivers, plains, and hills.
But Richard’s good mood soon disappeared.
He could sense empty and very few people when the troop flew past some towns.
One could see the black and red bloodstains everywhere on the streets. That replaced the scene. Most had dried up, like patches pasted on the ground and walls.
The faint smell of blood in the air could tell the tragic story of this time.
The Raging Blood Duke’s massacre of the Ell Plane’s residents was more tragic than he had imagined.
Richard’s face grew colder after a few towns.
The population was too small.
One could describe it as one in a hundred!
He took out a military map and deliberately flew around some towns to confirm the situation in other directions.
He saw nine out of ten rooms.
It was more determined than what Tundel had said before. The Raging Blood Duke had killed millions of people.
Some of the large towns were empty and miserable. That gave off the strange feeling of a lost world.
Richard’s killing intent almost froze space.
The Ell Plane had fallen into his hands, and these residents had become his subjects.
Twilight City must not suffer a massive loss.
He turned his head and looked in a few directions he hadn’t explored before he took a deep breath.
“We’ve suffered a great loss this time. I hope the bastard Raging Blood Duke can leave behind more seeds of fire in other directions. Otherwise, that enormously would reduce the benefits of occupying Ell Plane.”
Richard let Alves fly away from the empty town below and stopped observing.
He could get more accurate and detailed information when he regained control of Ell.
It was better to take down the obelisk first.
Richard was no longer in the mood to care about anything else and focused on his journey with this sudden turn of events.
That was February 7th, 12:00 pm. The players flew in front of them and sent a message. They had arrived.
Richard returned to his senses from his thoughts. He saw that he had coincided with the mark on the map and waved his hand to stop the troop from advancing.
He looked ahead.
He observed for a moment. He immediately felt the space before him was a little strange.
Perhaps it was because of the heaven’s tear and the fading of the spatial power. The location where the obelisk was became more conspicuous.
It was as if the shallow water revealed the fish.
The naked eye could see that the light was a bit distorted. It was like a layer of gauze covered it. It became blurry.
“Lord, this space is dangerous…”
Loreinna’s silver eyes stared ahead.
“This is a spatial collapse point. Some powerful or evil existences often hide here due to the chaotic laws in this area.”
That piqued Richard’s interest. He glanced at the vampire archduchess.
“Why do you say that?”
Loreinna said softly, “It’s easy to set up all sorts of magic arrays to hide oneself in a region with chaotic laws. My castle is also at the point of spatial collapse. It was just that the collapse point of the Mortal Plane was not obvious.”
Richard nodded thoughtfully.
‘Spatial collapse point?’
That was also a direction. Richard could look for the obelisk in this direction.
At this moment, the few players led the way that had arrived at his side on the skeleton blood dragon’s back.
The guild leader, a rather burly warrior player, said excitedly.
“Lord Richard, the obelisk is here!”
He pointed in another direction as he spoke.
“This area is the obelisk. But we can’t enter from here. We have to enter from the side!”
The man pointed out, and Richard looked in the direction and frowned.
Spatial fluctuations in an area were quite intense. But it was a small dog hole if one compared it.
Even a skeletal blood dragon that had spread its wings couldn’t fly in.
Richard frowned and said nothing.
The warrior player looked at the surrounding troop and seemed to understand something as he said awkwardly, “Lord Richard, there’s no other way. We can only go in from here if we want to enter. Otherwise…”
Richard waved his hand and stopped him before he could finish. He pointed to the strange area before him and said calmly.
“Loreinna, remove the spatial barrier before us and shatter the turtle shell…”
“Let me enter from the side. Is that possible?”
The warrior player immediately swallowed the words in his throat. He looked at his companion and saw the complicated look in each other’s eyes.
