Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord - Chapter 177

177 Who Used The Building Upgrade Stones?

The tournament venue was in chaos. The Light-Types heroes and the nine-headed Hydra joined forces to attack Su Wan’s alliance.

Su Wan, on the other hand, had her own enemy to deal with. That was Lord Aiur. Su Wan had activated the Desperate Battle at the insistence of Xu Yuan, and now she had no choice.

Once the Desperate Battle was activated, it could not be retracted. The winner would get all the resources of the loser.

Xu Yuan had disappeared. But Su Wan still had to live with the mess he had left behind.

!!
Su Wan wondered whether she should just choose the strongest troops she had, the Dark Dragon Knights! She had Lord Aiur’s multiple-headed Hydra Warriors to deal with, after all.

The multi-headed Hydra Warriors had similar attributes to the Elemental Hydra and were difficult to kill. They were a little different from the Elemental Hydra. They could not similarly regenerate their heads.

They had fewer lives. The commander of the Hydra Warriors had eight heads, therefore, eight lives. The other warriors had two or three heads. However, there were a hundred of them.

“If I lose now, it will be terrible,” muttered Su Wan. She couldn’t lose. If she lost now, she wouldn’t be able to revive Xu Yuan if she needed to.

Su Wan calmed herself. She thought about it carefully. She was uncertain whether Xu Yuan was dead or alive at this point.

Su Wan did not forget that Xu Yuan was her Initial Hero. As long as the Territory Core was intact, Xu Yuan could be revived.

Su Wan had a lot of resources now. If she lost here, it would be the ultimate end to everything. She had to save the resources.

If she lost, all their resources would be lost. There would be no hope.

Su Wan decided to send the strongest Dark Dragon Knights.

‘I wonder if the Dimensional Portal can be opened now…’

Su Wan was anxious. When she was fighting before, she couldn’t open the Dimensional Portal. The space seemed to be sealed by some mysterious power.

If the space was still sealed, it would be terrible!

Su Wan’s consciousness entered her own territory. The dwarves looked up at the sky. “Overlord of Death, you have illuminated this land once again!”

Su Wan couldn’t take it anymore. Her territory was full of the undead, so she was granted the title of Overlord of Death by default.

In the past, there were only the Skeleton Soldiers, Dark Goblins, and Golden Behemoths. They did not need to give her a name because they were very few. Ever since the dwarves had come under her command, they sensed Su Wan’s appearance every time.

They always greeted her as the “Overlord of Death”, as though they were greeting their god.

Su Wan noticed that her territory was a little… different.

“What’s going on?” she asked. She saw black mist everywhere.

“We don’t actually know.” The leader of the dwarves shook his head.

Another dwarf spoke up. “My Lord, it’s the upgrade stones.”

Su Wan had thrown the gems into her territory and asked the dwarves to reforge them. According to the dwarves, some of the gems had floated up into the air and upgraded some of the buildings on their own.

As a result, the entire territory looked sinister.

“The building upgrade stone has acted on its own?”

Su Wan’s first thought was that it must be Xu Yuan’s doing. Perhaps he had done something to the stones. The dwarves must be hiding the information because they did not dare speak against Xu Yuan. Maybe the dwarves were lying to her.

“When did this happen?” asked Su Wan.

“Just now, My Lord.”

Su Wan was certain that this had happened after Xu Yuan’s disappearance.

‘Perhaps it’s not Xu Yuan who did this, after all,’ thought Su Wan. She frowned.

Suddenly, she realized something. “Something’s wrong!” she exclaimed. “Other than Xu Yuan and I, no one else has the authority to use the upgrade stones.”

Su Wan was anxious. ‘Did Xu Yuan die and was trying to resurrect here?’

Su Wan looked around. “Xu Yuan, are you here?” she shouted. “Please tell me if you are. Come out!”

She had never before used the Territory Core to revive her Initial hero or herself. But it was clearly written in the textbooks that the Territory Core could revive heroes, troops, and Lords.

However, it was also true that the revival wasn’t perfect. The Lords, heroes, or troops revived via the Territory Core would be too weak in the beginning.

Su Wan suspected that Xu Yuan had managed to revive himself but was too weak to do anything else. Based on his nature, he would most likely look for a place to hide till he recovered.

She shouted out for him but got no response. ‘I don’t think he’s here…’

“The resources of the territory have not decreased!” Su Wan checked the panel. The resources were as they were before. If Xu Yuan had used it to resurrect himself, the resources would have decreased!

The number of resources hadn’t changed. Xu Yuan hadn’t used it yet, which meant that Xu Yuan was, thankfully, alive. However, the bad news was that he was still trapped in an unknown space without an opening for escape!
