Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start Novel - Chapter 958
958 Chapter 539: Setting Up, Hunting Transcendents [2/2]
Soul-Devouring Storm (Beyond A-rank) — It can summon soul-devouring crows to form a Death Storm. It can deal vast damage to the enemy’s soul. The soul-devouring crows can continue to exist and grow stronger after they devour the enemy’s soul.
That was the most nerve-racking skill of this level 19 boss!
The death of the first dracon marked the change in the situation.
The 3,000 soul-devouring crows stirred up a Death Storm.
They slaughtered more than half of the fierce level 19 dracon soldiers.
All of this happened in the span of a few breaths.
The transcendent dragon descendant who had just stepped out of the obelisk’s stone door had an elf-like arrogant expression on its face that instantly disappeared. Its gaze became gloomy.
The transcendent dragon focused on the main character who created this storm. Its tone sounded cold.
“Worm, how dare you pry into the sacred land I protect with such a trivial cantrip!”
That was advanced language–Dragon Language.
The transcendent dragon finished speaking.
Everyone’s hearts palpitated wildly. It was like an ancient beast had opened its eyes.
The pressure that permeated the world made the air as sticky as mercury.
A faint red energy with a hint of flame surged from the transcendent dragon.
It was like an ink had dripped into the water. The crimson energy covered the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
The soul-devouring crows that devoured the soul of the dracon fell into the water. They could not leave their spot no matter how they flapped their wings.
The transcendent dragon raised its head. It appeared ferocious under the light red energy.
There was a hint of disdain in its eyes.
It extended its right hand.
The sharp claws rubbed against each other and snapped its fingers.
‘Kacha!’
The crazed soul-devouring crows shattered like glass.
They turned into pure energy.
This scene made the hearts of the players behind them race.
They had thought that the Crow Storm could turn the tables.
They did not expect that transcendent dragon could quickly destroy the crows kill-move.
“Was this extraordinary power?”
The scene tightened the heart of the muscular warrior player. He was the leader of the players.
How would the level 19 hero deal with the transcendent dragon?
He clenched his fists subconsciously, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.
The tension was several times stronger than that of Kratos and Richard.
Kratos felt the disdain of the transcendent dragon. Its tiny eyes narrowed into a line.
The killing intent gathered around the dark soul eater caused ripples into the space.
Kratos did not hold back. Energy surged out of its body and condensed into a phantom outside the surface of its body.
Its appearance was the same. The aura it emitted made people immediately sense the origin of the phantom. Soul!
The players were shocked when they saw this. They did not understand why Kratos would suddenly let its soul appear on its body.
They wondered, and the soul of this level 19 boss was like firewood poured with gasoline.
‘Hong!’
Ignition ensued.
The dark gray soul burned with a dark blue flame.
One could even see the black smoke from the flame tail.
Did the hero burn its soul?!
The players widened their eyes in disbelief.
“Burning one’s soul, didn’t that mean death?!”
The soul was the most paramount thing in the body. It would be the most severe injury upon damage.
“Now, it initiated to ignite its soul. Why?!”
“Why did the dark soul eater have to do this?”
The muscular warrior player suddenly turned his head to look to his side and could not help but ask.
“Lord Richard, should we stop your hero? It’s not worth it…”
Richard spoke calmly without turning his head.
“I never take back my orders. Wait until the war is over. Kratos will come back to me with that transcendent’s head.”
The lord’s words suppressed the muscular warrior player’s thoughts. His expression was rather strange.
He released a long sigh and did not want to delve into it anymore. It was so tiring!
The difference between the two sides was vast.
He had participated in this battle. He had no idea about the thoughts of the lord he looked up to.
He could no longer understand the implications of them with his limited vision.
He sighed. He decided not to speak anymore.
The outsiders were excited, and so were the people on the battlefield.
Kratos’ soul started to burn. The aura of this level 19 boss increased dramatically.
The surrounding space distorted in just a few breaths. The pressure it emitted was no less than that of the transcendent dragon descendant before it.
[Boss’s characteristic–]
It was Kratos’ trump card, the boss’ trump card.
The players understood. There was no turning back once the fire burned the soul.
However, one could trade this fatal skill for power, endless power!
Its rock-like rock bulged high. The gray blood vessels on it wriggled like tiny snakes.
Power blurred the surrounding space. The outsiders could not even see its appearance.
Kratos felt the power in its body. It was like a magma that erupted. It clenched its battle axe tightly.
It looked straight at the transcendent dragon descendant before it.
“Mixed blood bastard… Let your soul become my ladder to a higher level!”
The translucent dragon finished speaking. It stepped forward.
‘Bang!’
The ground exploded, and a spiderweb-like crack spread for dozens of meters.
An oval-shaped wave of air rose in the surroundings and directly produced a violent sonic boom.
It was difficult for the naked eye to see what happened.
The sound reverberated in the next second.
‘Bang!’
That exploded the place where the transcendent dragon descendant stood. And a terrifying wave of air swept in all directions. Dust covered the sky.
‘Bang!’
A series of explosions rang out in the sky.
The location mentioned by the transcendent dragon in front of the obelisk became the center of the storm.
Overlapping waves of airwaves exploded.
That caused the planar power to deplete. The power of the transcendent dragon could already tear through the void.
The space where the two stood collided and collapsed. Everything around became undetectable.
One could only see from the outside the terrifying shockwave that exploded. That shattered the earth and wailed the sky.
The soul of Kratos continued to burn. It violently fought against the transcendent dragon!
The air restrictions around the obelisk restricted movements.
The transcendent dragon could not take to the air and could only fight Kratos on the ground.
That allowed Kratos to maximize its melee skills.
These restrictions blocked the player’s vision. That made them anxious. But they no longer asked Richard. They could only discuss the battle in hushed tones.
Richard didn’t pay any attention to them. He narrowed his eyes as he sensed the intense clash on the battlefield.
In the next second, a gentle voice sounded in the mind of the voluptuous level 23 vampire archduchess, Loreinna.
“Loreinna, sneak into the void and assist Kratos. Remember, do not kill that transcendent dragon even if Kratos dies in battle.
“Use your aura to create the illusion that you’ll attack at any moment… The transcendent dragon could detect it inadvertently. It could not reveal it on its own accord.
“Then, block or interfere with the enemy’s perception to create an advantage for Kratos.”
Kratos had to kill a transcendent and fight against the gods, contributing more than 70% for the dark soul eater to advance!
The transcendent dragon descendants couldn’t resist if Loreinna were to make a move with the tyrannical battle strength of this top-notch soldier.
However, it would reduce Kratos’ contribution.
A transcendent who wouldn’t move couldn’t help Kratos directly. But it would have a fatal impact on the battle.
No one could ignore or dare a hunter who could kill them and hide in the darkness.
The words that Kratos had used to fight alone were a psychological attack. It would make the transcendent dragon even more afraid after Loreinna revealed its aura.
There was a high chance that the other party would think Kratos was using her as bait to create an opportunity for the supernatural in the dark.
And what Loreinna wanted was for the transcendent dragon to think that she had used Kratos as bait.
Loreinna disappeared from Richard’s side. The transcendent dragon was in the middle of a fierce battle. Suddenly, it sensed a subtle aura.
It was very faint. It was incredibly unnoticeable if it weren’t for its extraordinary perception.
That subtle aura made the transcendent dragon feel an indescribable sense of danger.
A great enemy had hidden itself well and spied on the transcendent dragon!
The other party’s strength could cause fatal danger to it!!
Shock and anger filled its eyes.
“Was this damned worm before me just bait?!”
The transcendent felt an enormous fear in its heart. It could not help but withdraw some of the power in its hand. It prepared to defend against the enemy that might launch a sneak attack.
