Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The Twilight City troop, led by a few heroes, immediately set up a defensive line with the ancient god statue as the center after Richard’s orders.

At this moment, above Twilight City troop.

The crown-wearing half-murloc lord held a sturdy trident and jumped down from the sky with a desperate posture.

‘Hu!’

A violent air-piercing sound rang out as it pounced toward the ancient god statue.

However, unexpectedly, no broken limbs were on the field.

This mighty half-murloc lord suddenly stopped floating like a feather falling to the ground.

Then, it started to swim on the ground.

After these beings left the water, they could still float in the air.

This land of broken laws had once again reflected rules that went against common sense.

An extraordinary spatial power above the 12 crystals covered an area of tens of meters. It could not pass through from the sky, so they could only walk on the ground.

Several half-murlocs gathered together.

More than a thousand people appeared like dumplings falling from the sky.

They charged forward.

The bandaged mummies, scorpion warriors, and heavy sword warriors formed a defensive line at the front.

Undead soldiers, sand condensation archers, cursed pharaohs, and wild sand mages became the rear damage dealers.

Gray ordered calmly.

“Tomahawk Smash!”

“Let’s fire!”

“Curse language!”

“Yellow Sand Concealment!”

They used the trump cards of the various troops.

The frenzied half-murlocs immediately suffered the fiercest attack.

Floating in the air made them easier targets.

The battle immediately became intensely brutal.

Both the attacking and defending sides did not back down.

Richard was in a deadlock.

The centaur boss was like a soulless body. And it did not release any skills during the battle.

However, the power contained in the other party’s body was severely terrifying.

Even though the extraordinary hunter was five levels higher than the other party. It felt an indescribable pressure.

‘Clang!’

The long-handled giant axe in the hands of the centaur boss directly cut the rock at the bottom of the broken lake.

The gigantic rock exploded. It was like an explosive bombarded it.

The two half-murloc soldiers didn’t pay attention, and a rock hit them. The enemies shattered their bodies on the ground.

Richard took advantage of the moment when the man pulled out his knife. He closed in and swung his right arm. It stabbed the weapon into the man’s body.

‘Puchi!’

He pulled hard, and an exaggerated scar appeared.

But surprisingly, not only did the wound not bleed, but it also seemed to be a scar.

Instead, he returned to normal in two short breaths. It was like the injury he had just suffered was fake.

It had a terrifying self-healing ability.

Richard’s face grew increasingly solemn.

Every time the centaur boss swung its long-handled giant axe, it would bring Richard paralyzing pressure.

Once the weapon has slashed, the already broken armor would immediately crack even more.

On the other hand, although the damage it caused was considerable, the other party’s recovery ability was too bizarre. And it could recover in the blink of an eye.

This boss still had the body of a demigod… Richard’s expression was grave.

For some reason, the centaur had lost its soul and was as stiff as a puppet. It could not cast any skills.

However, there was still a power in his body that was beyond the reach of others.

It was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

As the battle became increasingly intense, the aura of the ancient god statue, which devoured the twelve giant crystals, soared to a certain level.

The dark light enveloped the remaining crystals.

The devouring speed suddenly increased.

And this scene provoked the crown-wearing half-murloc lord even more.

“Attack! Immediately smash that statue! Stop these damn bastards!”

A hysterical roar reverberated in the surroundings.

It could feel the laws around it becoming increasingly unstable… The fear in its heart almost drove it crazy.

The crown-wearing half-murloc lord immediately launched an even more paralyzing attack.

The line of defense in front of the ancient god statue was on the verge of collapse.

At the critical moment, a few heroes stood up.

Alves, while it hunted the half-murloc soldiers nearby, flapped its wings and charged forward with all the skeleton blood dragons.

Alves spat the dragon’s breath with strong corrosive power from its mouth.

The half-murloc lord who jumped from the lake immediately tasted the dragon’s breath.

Gray commanded the troop to fight while it ordered the other troops to attack.

Once the enemy’s formation is dense, they would immediately release the language of curses. It would forcibly control the situation and create an opportunity for the troops to attack.

Gunter, wrapped in blood-colored bandages, raised a ball of corrosion in its hand. This strapping hero was like a cannon. It cast spells in a frenzy.

They cleared out area after area.

The dead half-murlocs in front of them would also explode. It caused tremendous damage to their companions.

Although the half-murlocs were aggressive, under the leadership of a few powerful heroes, they were not as they seemed.

They were able to withstand wave after wave of attacks.

‘Woohoo! Woohoo! Woohoo!’

Suddenly, a deep horn sound came from the water.

Richard suddenly noticed that the centaur boss in front of him emitted a terrifying aura.

Countless blue runes appeared around its body.

The long-handled giant axe in its hand also bloomed with blue spots at this moment, and the sharp edge of the long-handled giant axe blade almost cut through the space.

The pressure it was under instantly rose to the extreme.

Richard’s eyes narrowed.

The yellow sand on his body surged.

In an instant, the centaur boss’s aura rose to its peak. And the ground under its feet suddenly sank.

He took advantage of the momentum and pressed forward.

The sharp blade was brandished.

The centaur boss raised its long-handled giant axe to block the attack.

‘Clang!’

In an instant, the two sides were in a deadlock.

Richard suppressed the centaur with all his might, and at the same time, he controlled the sand to sink the centaur into the quicksand that would prevent it from using its full power.

The centaur boss that had just exploded was immediately restricted.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and the key to the battle was the clash between the half-murloc and the Twilight City troop.

One side defended. The other side attacked!

However, with the four powerful A-rank heroes, the half-murlocs could not break through Twilight City’s resistance even if they had geographical and numerical advantages.

It melted more and more of the twelve crystals.

The half-murloc lord could no longer sit still.

With a wave of its hand, a dark blue magic staff appeared in its hand.

It jumped down from the lake and landed on the ground.

Then, it waved its hand.

Hundreds of fist-sized holes appeared on the transparent shield in the sky. And the lake water flowed down.

The moment the lake water fell, it formed sharp icicles that pierced the Twilight City troop at a terrifying speed.

‘Puchi!’

‘Crack!’

They could hear bone-cracking sounds.

The icicles hit and severely injured the troops.

Magic attack.

Even if Richard activated the Sand Transformation, he could not block it.

Fortunately, Sand Transformation had a powerful healing ability. So the troop could withstand it.

However, this large-scale spell put a lot of pressure on the troop, and the half-murlocs took the opportunity to advance quickly.

The defense line shook again.

Xina, who charged forward, saw this scene, and her eyes narrowed.

“Gray, Gunter, cooperate with me!”

The voice fell.

Its body instantly disappeared.

The next second.

The dozen mighty half-murlocs in front only saw a flash of afterimage.

It felt a sharp pain in its neck.

It lost consciousness in an instant.

There was only one thought in its mind before it died. So fast…

This strapping hero with master-level battle skills was like a sharp sword at this moment.

Wherever it passed, it could shatter even the mightiest and thickest shield.

When the half-murloc lord saw that Xina charged towards it, his face showed a cold smile.

It waved its hand.

‘Hu!’

The lake water in the sky suddenly fell.

A broad lake water shield formed around its body.

Then, voluminous water waves surged and enveloped Xina.

Countless icicles condensed in an instant and shot through the air like arrows.

At the same time, a pair of solid ice crystal shackles formed under her feet.

Double casting. An extraordinary characteristic.

But before the half-murloc lord could smile…

‘Clang!’

The sword shadow flashed, and the shackles on its feet burst.

The lady warrior with a cold gaze moved even faster and rushed into the icicle that contained a killing power.

It has brandished the long sword madly.

‘Kengqiang! Kengqiang!’

Heavy icicles in front of it were all cut apart in the blink of an eye. Not a single one was left behind.

The half-murloc lord felt a chill down its spine.

It didn’t have time to react.

“Kill!”

The other party shouted.

The voice came to it like a bolt of lightning.

A cold glint flashed.

‘Hu!’

It directly pierced through the lake water shield.

Xina wanted to break the shield directly, but the sword in her hand felt as if it had cut into mercury.

It became countless times heavier in an instant. It tremendously reduced the power of her attacks.

One could not break it.

When Xina sensed this, the battle-hardened veteran turned sideways.

It directly charged into the surrounding trident-wielding half-murloc lord.

It seemed like he had given up on the half-murloc lord.

Just as the half-murloc lord heaved a sigh of relief, it saw its companion’s corpse thrown frantically next to the shield.

When it saw this, its expression could not help changing.

They immediately continued to condense icicles to launch more concentrated attacks.

However, the female warrior’s combat skills were beyond the lord’s imagination.

No matter how penetrating his attacks were, the other would always have a way to counter them.

It watched helplessly as the other party slaughtered dozens of half-murlocs.

After the corpses had piled up into a small mountain.

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out.

“Explode!”

The corpse in front of the lake shield exploded with a boom. It was like it stuffed alchemy gunpowder into it.

‘Bang!’

The terrifying shockwave shattered the shield.

In the next second, the lady warrior with the longsword reflected in the eyes of the half-murloc lord.

It was shocking.

It waved its hand, and a water shield appeared on its body.

‘Boom!’

A terrifying impact hit its mind.

It was stunned on the spot.

Then, it felt a cold touch on its neck.

‘Puchi!’ After the head flew high into the air, it fell heavily to the ground.

A headless corpse appeared.

Only then did Xina’s figure appear behind it.

The fierce warrior did not hesitate at all. Her body flashed, and she continued to kill the surrounding half-murlocs.

However, the half-murloc lord that had its head cut off suddenly did something that left everyone dumbfounded.

The headless body on the ground suddenly stood up, picked up the head that fell on the ground, and swished its fish tail. It swam straight back to the lake in the sky.

When Xina turned around, she noticed something was wrong and saw the back of the other person running away with its head in its hands.

Astonishment shrouded her face.

“It didn’t die?”

After it returned to the lake, the half-murloc lord placed its head back on its neck.

Then, with a surge of energy, the scar completely recovered in a few breaths.

Other than its aura being a little weaker, it was starkly fine…

“Kill them! I’m going to destroy those bastards!”

The half-murloc lord roared in anger and shock.

However, this time, the level 12 hero would not leave the lake no matter what…

Richard still trapped the demigod centaur boss in the sand. It could not escape.

The half-murloc lord didn’t dare to leave the lake.

The remaining half-murloc soldiers were extremely ferocious. But they could not break through the defense line of Twilight City.

In this stalemate.

In the end, the ancient god statue increased the speed at which it devoured. It starkly finished the twelve crystals that contained vast spatial energy.

The system notification sounded at the same time.

[Ding~ The ancient god statue has devoured the seal of the land of broken laws. This area will completely collapse in an hour.]
