Chapter 42: Chapter 41: Soul Execution

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When Richard returned to the front, his eyes were filled with delight.

The Axe of the Dead was a vicious troop that struck his heart.

However, the only problem was that the enemy had three and a half small troops and 35 people.

The tomahawk still dealt magic damage when thrown. The enemies restrained the mummy and the scorpion warrior’s Sand Transformation.

Moreover, the opponents were undead and were immune to curses. It made the Curse of the Pharaoh lose its effect.

Now, only Crowd Control was left to use...

This disadvantageous situation forced Richard to think seriously.

“I can’t let the undead soldier throw the tomahawk. Otherwise, the mummies and the scorpion warriors won’t be able to hold on. I can’t let the opponent’s Soul Execution trigger either. The 30% chance is too terrifying and starkly unbearable.”

Richard pondered, “If we launch an attack directly, we’ll have to pay a heavy price even if we win. There’s no need to sacrifice ourselves in vain. Close combat and killing them one by one are the ideal methods… Perhaps, we can lure the tiger away from the mountains and surround them for reinforcements. We can cultivate the path in the open and sneak in the dark. I just don’t know if we could easily lure these troops away...”

After thinking for a moment, Richard gradually arrived at a clear idea. As he planned carefully, he began to give orders.

“Everyone, listen up! Retreat 500 meters over there...”

After detailed instructions, the mummies, cursed pharaohs, and scorpion warriors immediately moved. Richard also withdrew from the battle range.

He watched everything from afar and commanded remotely.

A small team of mummy guards was by his side.

As the ruler of Twilight City, his safety was always the most important thing.

If his troops lost, they would be gone, but he could still spend resources to recruit more. If anything happened to him, the leader, the troop would truly be gone.

This kind of battle was too close. Wouldn’t he directly fly into the sky if a tomahawk hit him?

******

A few minutes later.

The undead soldier numbly paced back and forth. It suddenly noticed that scorpion-faced life forms had appeared on the opposite hill.

When the undead soldier saw them, it seemed stunned for a moment before a mocking expression appeared on its face.

It turned around, and the scorpion’s curved tail slowly straightened.

The stinger on its tail hooked towards the undead soldier...

For unknown reasons, the undead soldier immediately felt like something had exploded when it saw the scorpion warrior’s action.

It felt insulted like never before.

“Damned lowly life forms!!”

They spat out a series of curses.

They abruptly turned their heads to look at their companions as they burned with anger. They then instantly reached a tacit understanding.

A whole team of tomahawks charged over.

They would let their opponents experience what pain was like!

At this moment, not only did the life forms provoke them not to leave, they even launched counterattacks at them!

This action almost caused the undead soldiers to explode while they ignited with anger.

While the undead soldiers tightly held their tomahawks with both hands, they did not have the slightest intention of throwing them out. They wanted to slaughter that damnable, lowly life forms with their own hands!

Yellow sand filled the sky as the two sides ran. After more than ten breaths, they collided.

The scorpion warrior let out a furious roar. It swung and clanged its sharp iron pincers and blocked the tomahawk.

Sparks flashed under the sunlight.

The scorpion warrior did not move, but the undead soldier stepped back and sank into the sand before it could withstand the rebounding force.

In terms of strength, the scorpion warrior subdued the undead soldier.

They were both Elite 3-star. So, the Tomahawk Slash of the undead soldiers was unparalleled. However, in close combat, the scorpion warrior was even more powerful!

However, there were too many enemies.

Moreover, the undead soldiers did not care about one-on-one battles and fairness.

When the other undead soldiers saw that the poison scorpion warrior was being held back, they immediately rushed forward as they wanted to use the sharp tomahawk in their hands to slash it to death.

Although the poison scorpion warrior fought with all his might, he was still struck by the tomahawk.

However, what surprised the undead soldier was that the tomahawk actually pierced through the opponent’s body.

Meanwhile, the scorpion warrior was like sand, directly merging into the underground desert...

Although they wanted to stop the scorpion warrior, it was all futile.

The undead soldier could only deal magic damage using the powerful Tomahawk Slash.

Their simple slash did not have any magic damage, so they just watched the scorpion warrior slip away.

They could feel that the enemy was still alive!!!

The Soul Execution suddenly burst into flames.

A faint blue light suddenly lit up in the two black eye sockets. It was extremely terrifying.

The undead soldier trembled and was enraged after being teased.?He followed the direction where the scorpion warrior had appeared.

They wanted to let those lowly life forms taste the wrath of the undead!

After climbing up the hill and splitting apart a few cacti to vent their anger, they suddenly realized that two scorpion warriors were a hundred meters away.

One can tell they were of the same clan at a glance!

The undead soldier, which had nowhere to vent anger, immediately charged at the scorpion warrior!

However, this time, the scorpion warrior did not launch a counterattack but directly fled backward.

The enraged undead soldier could not care less, and its speed also increased...

After chasing for a few hundred meters, they stepped into the sandy ground covered with bushes on both sides.

Their footsteps couldn’t help but stop because they felt that something hugged their legs underground.

They abruptly lowered their heads and saw the white bandaged mummies crawled up from the sandy ground.

The enemies grabbed their legs tightly and crawled up gradually.

‘Roar!’

The undead soldier let out a furious roar!

It swung its tomahawk fiercely and hacked down.

‘Crack!’

The troop could hear the sound of the sharp tomahawk cutting into the sand. Their arms even directly pierced through the enemy’s body.

The mummy that had activated the Sand Transformation did not receive any damage at all. After getting up, it directly entangled with the undead soldier.

The sharp claws in its hands attacked crazily and left deep scratches on the undead soldier’s armor. It could even pierce through the armor and attack the body of the undead soldier.

Unfortunately, the undead soldier was no longer a living creature. Although the attacks of the mummies were fierce, they could not cause fatal damage.

However, the mummies had already exerted their most significant task. They repressed the movement of the undead soldier and prevented them from throwing the tomahawk.

The next moment, when the bandaged mummy launched its attack.

‘Shasha!’

The sound of footsteps also came from the bushes on the side.

The scorpion warrior’s tall figure dashed out at a breakneck speed.

The two sides were extremely close to each other. Under the high-speed run, they arrived within a few breaths.

At this moment, the undead soldiers knew they had been ambushed.

Seeing the situation was not right, they struggled fiercely and forcefully pulled out the sharp axes in their hands from under the mummy’s restraint.

They were ready to throw.

Once they moved at a distance, they would likely trigger Soul Execution up to 30%!

At this critical moment, an indescribable mysterious voice sounded.

‘Boom!’

The undead soldier felt as if a siege hammer bombarded its soul. The sound instantly threw its thoughts into chaos as its body stiffened.

[Curse Words (E-rank) — Forcefully causes the enemy’s mind to fall into a state of chaos that stagnates movements. The duration depends on the enemy’s strength.]

[Cooldown Time: 3 minutes. Consumes 20 mana points.]

The cursed pharaoh prevented the most decisive attack of the undead soldier.

However, just as Richard watched from afar, he felt that the situation had stabilized. The situation suddenly changed.

Two undead soldiers forcefully broke free from the pharaoh’s control. The muscles in its right hand instantly tensed up.

The tomahawks appeared in their hands.

At this moment, the targeted poisonous scorpion warrior happened to be between 20 to 30 meters away.

Everything happened too quickly. The scorpion warrior did not have time to dodge and was struck.

Indescribable and terrifying energy tore through its soul.

It let out an extremely painful roar. Its two-meter tall body fell to the ground with a loud bang, which sent sand and dust everywhere.

[Instant Death Skill — Soul Execution]

The scorpion warrior did not even have the slightest chance to resist. It died immediately.

It was extremely terrifying.

Fortunately, another targeted scorpion warrior swung its iron pincers and forcefully knocked the undead soldier away.

Only then did it survive.

The other undead soldiers also broke free from the control in a breath’s time.

However, this short control time won the other scorpion warriors a chance to get close.

The scorpion warrior rushed to the front of the undead soldier, and the bent iron hook in front of the pincers hit the opponent’s head.

The curved ox horn armor directly caved in.

The body was like a spring stretched to the extreme and suddenly burst out with infinite strength.

With another pull, a massive head flew up.

The soul fire collapsed in the air.

The first undead soldier fell to the ground with a bang.
