Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
With the terrain as support, plus the bandaged mummies, the scorpion warriors, the undead soldiers, and the cursed pharaohs, these were Richard’s powerful soldiers.
There was also the help of Gray, this A-rank hero.
The advantageous terrain of the hillside was simply a nightmare for the demons.
Every step forward cost a large number of casualties.
Fresh blood flowed down the hillside which left a dazzling trail on the rocks under the set of the sun.
The inferior demons would leave a footprint after they stepped on it, the color of which was brighter than the set of the sun.
Less than ten minutes had passed since the battle, and out of the five inferior demons’ squadrons, there were only less than one left…
Although the angry demon was unwilling, it noticed that the situation was not right, it still gave decisive order to retreat.
These undead soldiers were too strong…
It must take revenge, take revenge!!!
Richard saw the demon hero’s resentful gaze and frowned.
“Scorpion warriors, go in front! Bandaged mummies, protect the undead soldiers! Cursed pharaohs, attack!”
The constant combat strength of the troop gave him great confidence.
Both were highly domineering whether the bandaged mummy that had fortified its attacks or the undead soldiers that had advanced to a rare level.
This made Richard change his strategy.
This was a 1-star dungeon. The strength of a demon was not unlimited.
He wanted to see what the demon could use to resist the sharp edge of the troop in his hands!
He wanted to…devour them all!
After the demon hero escaped back to the Demon Valley, his angry roar immediately caused the valley to boil.
The inferior demon immediately put down the stone in its hand and quickly gathered outside the valley.
Low growls in the valley’s depths that sent chills down people’s spines could be heard.
Abyss blasphemy.
One by one, the fallen demons who held hammer balls in their hands walked out.
Their sheer number was astonishing.
And among the fallen demons, there were also new demons.
These new demons had goat heads, black goat hooves, and curved goat horns.
They wore gray leather armor and held sharp steel swords in their hands. Their eyes were blood red.
When Richard saw the new demons outside the valley, his eyes narrowed, and he opened his stats panel.

‘Sword Master?’
The corners of Richard’s mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of arrogance.
‘I want to see how sharp your sword is.’
“Attack!”
The Iron Triangle formation had already prompted a tacit understanding in the battle.
The scorpion warrior was in the front, followed by the undead soldiers, cursed pharaohs, Gray, and Richard followed by the bandaged mummies on the left and right wings.
The inferior demons in the front were the first to rush forward.
But what greeted them was the call of the grim reaper.
‘Whoosh! Whoosh!’
The undead soldiers threw twenty tomahawks with terrifying power.
The tomahawks chopped the inferior demons with curved backs like tofu.
Blood and broken limbs covered the ground.
This round of tomahawks had killed at least four squads of inferior demons even if the tomahawks got broken.
The rare-level damage of the Axe of the Dead’s undead soldiers was already extremely terrifying.
However, the number of demons was almost endless. The army of fallen demons mixed with inferior demons did not stop for half a second before surging forward again.
The scorpion warriors dashed forward ferociously. Every part of this soldier’s body was born for slaughter.
They hungered for slaughter, hungered for blood!
The two sides clashed in an instant.
The blood boiled, and the broken limbs shattered.
During the intense battle, the agile goat-horned demons with long swords in their hands circled from both wings.
They avoided the sharp edge of the scorpion warriors and intended to tear a hole in the flank.
Richard narrowed his eyes.
“Bandaged mummies entangle the goat-horned demons! Cursed pharaohs, cooperate and kill them!”
The bandaged mummies doused forward.
‘Shoo!’
The goat-horned demon’s sword stabbed out like lightning. Its extremely swift reflexes caused some bandaged mummies to miss timely counterattacks.
‘Puchi!’
The sword pierced through the mummy’s heart.
When they waved their sharp claws and wanted to counterattack, the goat-horned demon nimbly twisted its body to dodge.
Its full agility combat technique was almost at full capacity.
It continuously used its position to leave scars on the body of the bandaged mummy.
Its nimble posture made the mummy’s limbs stiffen, and used its agility to the extreme.
The bandaged mummy could only take a beating.
No matter how sharp their claws were, they could not touch the goat-horned demon’s body.
Fortunately, as undead creatures, they had enough flesh. As long as they protected the vital parts of their necks and heads, the stab wounds on other bodies would not be able to cause fatal damage to them.
As an increasing number of goat-horned demons gathered, only six teams of bandaged mummies were subdued…
They would have suffered heavy casualties if not for the physical damage of the Sand Transformation skill.
The scene gradually became anxious.
Richard’s eyes turned cold when he saw the goat-horned demons gathered increasingly closer.
“Tomahawk Slash!”
The iron chains rattled as the undead soldiers threw tomahawks at the area where the demons were densest.
‘Kacha!’
The crisp sound of glass that had fallen to the ground rang out once again.
The tomahawks slaughtered.
They continued to swipe.
No matter how agile the goat-horned demons were, they could not dodge this massive damage.
The undead troop took care of the 10-meter area.
The 20 tomahawks cleared out the surrounding area of dozens of meters.
In an instant, less than five teams were left among the goat-horned demons who rushed up to the siege.
These were crispy units with high-agility, high-attack, brittle-skinned soldiers…
This attack directly killed more than two squadrons of goat-horned demons. It was even more impressive than the first shot that massacred the inferior demon.
The remaining goat-horned demons ended up as corpses under the claws of the bandaged mummies, with the help of the cursed pharaohs…
The scene became very bloody.
But the goat-horned demons would not give up. Many inferior and fallen demons pounced on the opponents after a vast number of goat-horned demons decreased sharply.
They continued to attack the bandaged mummies.
The bandaged mummies which had turned into the sand at this time were invincibles.
These demons, which could only deal physical damage, could not truly deal effective damage.
They charged forward without restraint.
Wanton kill!
‘Crack! Crack! Crack!’
‘Crack! Crack! Crack!’
Demon troops could hear the sound of a twisted noose as the battle heated up.
Richard looked over.
A demon chariot appeared in his sight.
Unlike the demon hero chariot in the human village, a two-headed demon with a body of more than 2.5 meters pulled this chariot.
There were two teams.
On the war chariot, demonic styles controlled the two crossbows.
Two goat-horned demons controlled a crossbow.
A one-head taller demon than the demon hero stood on the war chariot.
The flame whip in its hand raged with fire.

‘A level 7 demon hero with C-rank potential?’
Richard’s pupils constricted.
It was the highest level hero unit he had encountered in such a long time.
The enemy also had a damage spell and fireball, where Sand Transformation is ineffective.
This flame demon cannot stay.
