Richard took a few deep breaths to suppress the excitement in his heart.

Just in case, he gestured for a bandaged mummy to come forward and check.

All the troops were prepared at this moment as the bandaged mummy slowly came forward.

Once the magic puppet woke up, it would launch its most potent attack in the next moment.

After a while, everything was safe.

Gunter then checked again. After the second confirmation, Richard walked closer.

These three teams of glorious-level troops…now belonged to him!

Injecting spiritual power would bind the puppets.

He went forward.

Richard looked at the five-meter-tall body in front of him and held two heavy, thicker than a door sword.

His emotion surged with the heavy sword warrior’s strong visual impact.

These magic puppets had made him suffer when they were enemies.

He was satisfied now that he owned them.

Without the hero commander, the heavy sword warriors were less than half. Sand Transformation that dealt physical damage to the sky conqueror had also blocked them for so long.

There was no need to say their battle wit and strength were so strong.

The moment Richard got close, he had even thought of how to create a strategy for the heavy sword warriors.

He stepped and saw a thumb-sized hollow on the heavy sword warrior’s forehead.

He signaled for the dark gargoyle beside him to kneel on the ground.

He stepped on the shoulder of this soldier and slowly rose. He stopped the gargoyle when it reached the same level as the magic puppet.

He stretched his right hand and pressed his thumb on the hollow of the heavy sword warrior’s forehead.

‘Crack!’

He felt a sharp needle pain in his thumb as if he had touched an organ, and blood oozed out.

In that instant, Richard felt his spirit stretch out and branded a symbol in the magic array that drove heavy sword warriors.

A stream of information flooded his mind at the same time.

To make the magic puppet more suitable, the ancient wizards spent a lot of effort on the process of creating a mighty characteristic.

Activating magic puppets for the first time could bestow a skill on the opponent.

The magic puppet would imprint the skill on its magic core.

Richard was overjoyed after he repeatedly confirmed the information.

Was there such a good thing?

A yellow sand-like light spread out from his hand and enveloped the heavy sword warrior.

The next moment, a familiar system notification sounded. The opponent had successfully obtained the Sand Transformation skill.

It made Richard enthusiastic.

These magic puppets created that the Resplendent Wizard Tower was too perverted, right?

After the heavy sword warrior activated the Sand Transformation, they would then launch a spiral attack..! This troop was going to defy the heavens!

While Richard was excited, the heavy sword warrior’s magic core quietly closed.

At this point, the heavy sword warriors starkly belonged to him. Even the original creator could not change the rules within.

In the future, the heavy sword warriors could only be destroyed and could not be captured or dismantled.

The magic circle inside would automatically be damaged if forcibly dismantled.

The ancient wizards who created the heavy sword warriors had considered all of this.

Richard retracted his mind and immediately felt he could control the opponent’s body.

He thought a move.

‘Kacha!’

The heavy sword warrior smoothly knelt on one knee. Two tailor-made heavy swords stabbed into the ground, and sparks flew everywhere.

This sudden movement caused the surrounding troops on guard to react. The sharp tomahawk in the Axe of the Dead’s hands almost fell.

Fortunately, Richard stopped it in time. Otherwise, the mummy troop would have severed this puppet apart…

He took a step forward and stepped on the shoulder of the heavy sword warrior from the shoulder of the dark gargoyle.

Then, he controlled the heavy sword warrior to come to the side of the second puppet.

Controlling the heavy sword warrior felt very easy. It was like commanding one’s arm. Without any command, with a thought, the other party would follow and make a move.

It was even smoother than commanding an ordinary soldier.

Richard sighed with emotion. The scene of those ancient wizards controlling these magic puppets to fight was probably excessively spectacular.

Richard took the three teams of heavy sword warriors into his pocket as his thoughts spun. At the same time, he gave them the most mighty divine skill in Twilight City — Sand Transformation.

The power in his hands increased dramatically because of the three squads of glorious-level troops.

Glorious-level troops…

This was the overlord-level existence at the current stage!

However, Richard could not be happy for a while. The heavy sword warriors suddenly slowed down and stopped moving.

At first, he was shocked and thought that something was wrong. However, after checking it once, he discovered deactivation for a long time. That is why there was no energy left…

He was confused about whether to laugh or cry.

Immediately, he ordered the troop to open the energy chamber that holds the gemstones pulled out from the heavy sword warrior’s chest. They took out the ones that had lost energy and turned them into ordinary stones.

He started changing gemstones.

Gray came to report after a busy moment.

“Lord, each heavy sword warrior requires 300 units of gemstones to be reactivated.

“A magic circle inside can absorb magic power. After starkly consumed, it can absorb the free magic energy in the air.

“There is no energy now because the magic puppet has not activated yet.”

“The gemstone as the core of energy has been in a state of being consumed for hundreds of thousands of years, that made it not usable”

Richard’s eyelids twitched.

‘Each gemstone requires 300 units?!!!’

‘I don’t know if I should say this…’

Richard glanced at the attribute panel.

[Gemstones: 11,500 units]

Other than the original 300 or so units, the rest of the gemstones were obtained from the ruins.

Were they considered capable in the game? They were stuck…

He thought he had made a fortune, but they were all bubbles.

Compared to the glorious-level troops, these gemstones were not significant.

Richard waved his hand, took out 9,000 units, and piled the ground into a small hill. It was so s.h.i.+ny that it was rather dazzling.

After the troops replaced the energy sources of all the magic puppets, the heavy sword warriors who had just lost power immediately returned to ordinary.

The white-gold l.u.s.ter on its body became more and more eye-catching.

The five-meter-tall giant body has a st.u.r.dy oppressive force.

Even the three-meter-tall dark gargoyle which stood beside the heavy sword warrior looked much smaller.

Richard was satisfied.

Just the heavy sword warriors from these three squads had earned him a lot of money exploring the ruins.

This was a glorious-level troop!

To upgrade from a rare-level troop lair to a glorious-level troop required a total of five million units of resources.

Moreover, the number of resources needed for recruitment was an astronomical figure.

But now, he had five million resources in his hands to create a fighting force.

He was exceedingly excited.

He ordered the troops to continue searching for other items left behind.

But obviously, the glorious-level troop of three squads was already exaggerated enough.

He didn’t obtain any more treasures.

Two hours later, Richard came back to the central crystal.

Richard looked at the crystal that emitted an azure light. His gaze became solemn.

Now, it was time to get down to business.

This azure magic crystal was the key to breaking the Fire Elemental Lord’s seal. It was also the key to obtaining several rewards and leaving the ruins.

He motioned the bandaged mummy to enter.

He tried to remove the central crystal.

However, to his surprise, although the bandaged mummy could penetrate the magic s.h.i.+eld, it was blocked when it was five meters away from the central crystal.

The blue magic energy that surged around the altar was like magnets that repelled each other. It had a powerful repelling force.

It was impossible to enter.

Richard frowned and stretched out his hand to change his troop.

The scorpion warrior went forward, but the result was the same. It couldn’t get close.

The undead soldier, the dark gargoyle, the heavy sword warrior, and the cursed pharaoh had all tried…

But still, it had no effects.

“Lord, this may require a powerful magic manipulation technique… The excessively dense magic power formed the repulsive force.

“For countless years, this central crystal has stored a lot of magic power.”

“The magic power is already so dense that it’s overflowing, and the unique design of the surroundings has prevented this majestic magic power from dispersing.

It has formed a unique area.”

They heard Gunter’s voice with a unique tone.

“If you want to get that central crystal, you face that magic power directly…”

Richard’s eyes narrowed.

“Gunter, are you confident?”

He didn’t want to send heroes to risk their lives. If a soldier died, so be it. He could recruit them with just some resources.

But where could he find an A-rank hero?

The mummy hero wrapped in blood-colored bandages nodded.

“Lord, I have the phylactery of the soul. I won’t make a mistake…”

Richard nodded.

After Gunter gained Lich’s power, it also inherited its most perverse aspect.

Resurrection.

“Be careful.”

Gunter should be the last to step into the magic s.h.i.+eld.

He gradually got closer to five meters, and that wave-like surging dark blue energy began to repel again.

But at the same time, Gunter took out the magic ball — his soul phylactery.

Richard frowned. ‘What was it doing?’

The next second, the soul phylactery that emitted dark gray light was like a black hole. It crazily swallowed the dark blue magic energy.

The energy was like a flood discharge from a high mountain reservoir. It crazily poured into the soul phylactery.

The energy poured too much and made Richard’s heart jump. He was afraid the other party’s soul phylactery would break.

The light that the dark magic ball emitted gradually deepened as the energy poured in. And its aura began to rise.

Five, ten minutes…

Two hours had pa.s.sed. The five-meter dark blue magic energy had shrunk to three, but it was still incomparably majestic.

At this time, the aura that the body of Gray emitted gradually increased with the soul phylactery.

The level had quietly risen to 7.

Whether it was a soldier or a hero, each upgrade would improve a lot of basic attributes, increase strength, health, defense, and so on.

The higher the potential, the more it would increase… Although there were no detailed data, the increase in strength was real.

Gunter’s aura gradually caused changes.

The central crystal that floated in the dark blue magic energy slowly moved towards him.

Richard stared at this scene, and his breathing slowed down.

Gunter noticed the change in the central crystal. To everyone’s surprise, he slowly let go of the dark magic ball in its hand.

The dark magic ball did not fall to the ground. Instead, it lost its gravity and floated into the air.

On one side was the central crystal that emitted blue light, and on the other was the dark soul phylactery.

The two treasures seemed to be attracted to each other in s.p.a.ce.

They slowly approached each other.

They gently collided under countless dark blue magic energy.

The sound of a gla.s.s cup colliding was heard.

Then, the two crystal b.a.l.l.s seemed to be stuck together and didn’t separate anymore…

Richard looked carefully. When Gunter’s phylactery came into contact with the central crystal, a wisp of gray energy spread out and entered the central crystal.

A thought that made his breathing quicken appeared in his mind.

Gunter wanted to refine this central crystal into a phylactery of the soul!!!

This soldier was going to defy the heavens!
