Chapter 515: Chapter 515
Now it was time for Du You himself to take the lead., Xu You was riding Xiaozi, directly taking off, chasing after the Sand Sculpture Knights. He didn’t need any other spells. Just one Dark Flame Arrow Array, each time unleashing a mass of dark arrows.
The arrows seemed simple but contained an unimaginably terrifying power. The Sand Sculpture Knights could only dodge, unable to withstand it. Even the second-tier Sand Sculpture Knights who dared to resist had a hard time shielding themselves. Moreover, there were just too many arrows. If anyone were in the center of the attack, they should forget about avoiding it. Blocking one arrow would just result in additional ones headed their way.
The thing was, Du You was faster than his opponent. If there were too many Sand Sculpture Knights, Du You would just run. They couldn’t catch up to him. Furthermore, Du You could make use of a longer attack range than theirs, attacking the opponents while he ran.
If the Sandpeople ran, Du You would chase after them. They could not escape.
There was also an equally dangerous Thunder Doppelganger weaving in the air, especially killing those who slipped through the net.
Sometimes, when facing the Sandpeople’s attack, Du You would directly activate the Shield Spell. Their attacks were casually blocked by the shield. Du You didn’t undo the shield; he continued to use the Dark Flame Arrow Array behind the shield.
His own shield wouldn’t block his own attacks. So, the dark arrows could continue their assault.
The Sand Sculpture Knights, unable to catch up, unable to kill their adversary, and always getting killed, they felt simply helpless. If it weren’t for the rage spurring them on from their city’s annihilation, perhaps the Sand Sculpture Knights would have already fled.
But once they calmed down, they realized that everyone around them was pretty much dead. Of the Sand Sculpture Knights that initially numbered in the hundreds, now barely twenty were left. The area had suddenly fallen empty. Without it, they might not even have noticed.
There was only one second-tier Sand Sculpture Knight leading the group left now. "Not good, we need to leave quickly."
They finally realised that they were no match for the demon in the sky. What they did not understand was why, after such a long fight, the opponents Magic Power still hadn’t been exhausted. It was terrifying.
Looking at his status, Du You saw that only nearly 20% of his Magic Power remained. It was indeed a close call.
Looking at the ground, the two sisters had already started slaughtering the remaining soldiers in the city. But if this continued, soon there wouldn’t be enough Magic Power left. Du You opened his mouth and drank a bottle of Magic Power Elixir.
"Can’t wait any longer, directly perform the ultimate act." His Magic Power was hardly enough to exterminate the entire city, but his power could. Unleashing the Putrid Insect Mist, the terrifying Beetles once again caused a great commotion.
Once these Beetles are unleashed and started to spread, Du You wouldn’t need to consume his Magic Power any more. Until now, Du You hadn’t met any magic that could restrain this spell, so it was very effective indeed.
When a large number of Beetles began spreading, not a single Sandman hiding anywhere in the city could escape. This soon turned into a scene where Du You and the two sisters were spectating the situation outside the city.
The Beetles’ frenzy did not spare the Sandmen even when they were summoned by him and started to eat them too.
Unfortunately, the summoned Sandmen had no flesh and blood. Eating them was of no use. After some time, when the Beetles began to disperse in large numbers, Du You knew the city had been drained by him.
Hidden Mission: Destruction of the Sand People Border City completed.
"So there was a hidden mission. I wonder what’s in store this time." Du You opened the chest.
"It’s 2,000 Red Crystal Coins. Not to a bad reward this time around. What’s this, a diagram of a city wall?"
Rune City Wall Diagram (Second Tier): To upgrade the city wall to the Rune City Wall, one tier city wall and a second tier region is needed.
He didn’t expect it to actually be a second-tier city wall. Thinking about it, it seemed similar to the second-tier Rune City Wall he had destroyed. If surrounded by this type of city wall, it would not be easy to smash it all at once with his spells. It was certainly a great asset.
Storing away the diagram, Du You continued looking at the last item in the treasure chest.
Magic Float Enhancement Wand: Raises tier of one’s magic by one level, upper limit is at the third tier. (1/1, Deep Red)
Du You’s eyes widened. He didn’t expect to find a significant weapon this time. To raise magic by one tier is not about average levels; it’s about raising his second-tier magic to the third tier. Level 16 magic can be raised to Level 26.
Thinking about his most powerful destructive spell, the Destruction Flames, if it suddenly rose by ten levels, it would be disastrous. Previously, a city might be destroyed in an instant.
This truly was a weapon of massive destruction, which was too bad it wasn’t something to be used casually. He’d save it for when he faced a crucial moment. This one item alone would be worth the price of admission.
Having packed up his things, Du You brought out his city wall diagram and Rune City Wall diagram and placed them together. The two diagrams merged with each other, and in the end, a new diagram appeared, Rune City Wall Diagram (Second Tier, Permanent)
Du You checked and found out that his existing diagrams could be used to construct a first-tier regular city wall and a second-tier Rune City Wall. It wasn’t a complete cover, but a perfect integration.
That way, it didn’t feel like a loss. He still had heaps of orbs. Once they were opened, it was bound to cover a big share.
"Let’s go. We’ll gather our spoils." Du You packed everything, then along with the girls, he moved into the city gate. At this point, the Sand People City seemed deserted.
"Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs, you go around and tear down those unimportant buildings for me. For the important ones, dig into them. Death Scorpion, you go underground and look for things that haven’t been destroyed, especially various kinds of secret rooms. Xiaozi, you, along with the Ghost Pattern Crow, patrol in the sky and see if there are any good targets."
After delivering his instructions quickly, Du You, along with Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi walked directly towards the center of the city.
With such a huge city, he wouldn’t believe if there was nothing valuable left.
Casually strolling, reports from around the area started coming in. A lot of things had been excavated. These riches, while of no use to Du You himself, were useful for the development of his territory. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥
Even if it could not be used directly in his own territory, it could still expand his territorial influence and be used to buy what he needed. For example, the Mount Wolf was bought this way.
Du You walked inside while opening the orbs one after another, then counted them.
In his possession, the exclusive Red Crystal Coins had reached an impressive figure of fifteen thousand. If he did not want to increase some skills, Du You was now capable of upgrading himself to the 20th level, the highest tier.
Unfortunately, the Sandpeople, as before, left almost nothing for his uses. The few items that were occasionally found were not even as good as the ones he was already using. It was truly vexing.
