Richard was stunned when he saw the rank of the troop lair. He subconsciously looked at it a few more times.

After he made sure he was not mistaken, a strong sense of joy surged in his heart.

Enthusiasm brightened his face.

A rare-level troop lair and there were even two of them!!!

Blood money, blood money!!

After Richard took a few deep breaths to suppress the excitement in his heart, he immediately checked the remaining attributes of the troop lair.

[Dark Gargoyle’s Lair (Sealed)]

[Level: Rare 3-stars]

[Recruit Type: Dark Gargoyle (Rare 3-stars)]

[Recruit Quantity: 20]

[Weekly Output: 10]

[Recruit Requirement: 4,000 gold coins, 4,000 units of wood, 4,000 units of stone, and 10 units of gemstones]

[Description: A unique construct created by ancient magic so powerful. It is a dark creature. It possesses decent strength. It used to be a glorious-level troop, but under the erosion of time, its power has deteriorated to a rare level.

‘Hiss!’

‘Weekly production of up to 10?

‘And now, each lair can recruit 20?!’

Two lairs can recruit four squads in total.

It was a rare-level troop. How much effort did Richard spend to train the Axe of the Dead?

He squinted his eyes after he read the description.

‘A construct made with ancient magic? Was it similar to the dwarves’ mechanical troop?

‘But, this thing was actually at the glorious level?

‘Unfortunately, if the power didn’t decline, this wave would take off directly.’

Richard finally calmed down from his excitement after a long time.

‘However, this thing needs to be unsealed before recruitment… But, how do I unseal this thing?’

As he muttered to himself, he opened the Black Gold System.

[Dark Gargoyle’s Lair (Rare 3-stars) — Using ten rare construct-type troop lair cores can upgrade it to Glorious 3-stars.]

[Note 1: Currently sealed, unable to be upgraded.]

[Note 2: Can be watered with a large amount of blood to unseal.]

‘Can be watered with a large amount of blood… unseal.’

Pleasant surprises instantly filled Richard’s heart… Had He even known a way to break the seal?

The Black Gold System’s eternal god…

However, this seal was also very unique. A construct, sealed with blood… Its master must be fiercely evil.

He turned around and thought. “I just experienced a bloody battle. Aren’t those demon corpses the best materials for unsealing?”

He was in a good mood.

These demons were seriously generous. And they sent a few waves of warmth.

He had the troops search the ancient tomb carefully.

AfterRichard made sure there were no other gains, he left the ancient tomb and continued to walk towards the Demon Valley depths.

He encountered a few squads of fallen and goat-horned demons on the way. The demon hero had pronouncedly stayed behind to guard the base camp.

However, Richard had even defeated the main force. These squads could only be considered a sacrifice.

They arrived at the deepest part of the Demon Valley after quickly annihilating the demon squads.

The demon base camp was in a cave, but the space inside was more spacious than the ancient tomb.

Richard entered after Gray ensured the camp’s safety.

The torch’s light fluctuation made the spacious underground seem slightly dim.

His heart trembled after he pronouncedly saw the scene in front of him.

Human corpses covered the floor. These corpses were pale-faced as if stripped of all their blood.

One could see sharp weapons had pierced their vital parts if one had looked carefully.

A vast pool of blood was in the center of the countless corpses.

The faint light of the torch made the scarlet liquid extremely terrifying and creepy.

Mysterious and twisted pitch-black runes were imprinted in the pool of blood, faintly discernible that added to the cold and gloomy aura.

“Lucy!!

“Lucy, I’m here to save you. Where are you??

“Lucy!!”

In the underground space filled with corpses, only Barry’s voice echoed.

He held a torch and looked down at the pale-faced corpses on the ground with reluctance and extreme fear.

Like he was afraid that in the next moment, that long-yearned face would appear.

Richard couldn’t help but shake his head when he saw this scene.

This stupid girl, how could she still have a chance of survival?

However, the blood pool made him fall into deep thought.

‘What was the demon’s purpose in creating this blood pool that took so much trouble?

‘For the troop lairs in the ancient tomb?

‘No, Barry said that the demons attacked other human villages, so he and his little lover came out to scout for news.’

‘At that time, the demons had not yet discovered the ancient tomb.

‘In other words, the blood pool was in the front, and the ancient tomb was in the back.

‘Moreover, if it was for the troop lairs to unseal, why not build the blood pool directly in the ancient tomb?

‘Although the demons were chaotic, they were not stupid. The cunning of high-level demons was no less than that of a devil.

‘The blood pool must have had another purpose.’

After Richard thought for a while and the mummy confirmed the safe route, he walked over the corpses gradually to the side of the blood pool.

The calm blood pool looked like a deep pool. It was unperturbed that made one’s heart feel cold.

No one knew what was inside.

Richard opened his status panel, but he didn’t see any notifications.

He frowned and looked at a bandaged mummy.

“You go into the pool of blood and see what’s underneath.”

The bandaged mummy immediately took action after it received the order.

Dead creatures didn’t have the concept of fear. If it were a human, its legs would probably shiver.

‘Splash!’

After the bandaged mummy entered the blood pool, its body quickly sank and disappeared in a few blinks of an eye.

The air sank again.

At this time, Barry held up his torch and walked to the side of the blood pool, startled. Despair clouded his eyes.

“No… nothing…”

His eyes had become lifeless at this moment.

Richard ignored him and stared at the blood pool. It was the demon’s substantial backup plan, nothing couldn’t happen…

The scene was still calm three, five, or ten minutes later.

Richard was unwilling to give up just when he was about to order the second mummy to go down.

‘Gurgle! Gurgle!’

Suddenly, sizeable bubbles appeared in the blood pool.

The sudden sound was like muffled thunder in the silent cave.

Richard immediately raised his vigilance to the maximum.

“Retreat!”

The troop retreated more than 20 meters in unison and left only a few torches. The half-hearted Barry squatted on the ground.

‘Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!’

The bubbles of progressive increase in size ascended.

Then, under Richard’s gaze.

‘Splash!’

The sound of water suddenly rang out, and a corpse suddenly floated into the blood pool.

The horrible scene made one’s scalp tingle.

But in the next second, the horror movie immediately turned into a love tragedy.

Barry latently raised his head. When he saw the corpse that floated in the pool of blood, he cried out in great anguish.

“Lucy!!”

His entire body seemed to have been struck by lightning as he collapsed onto the ground.

His eyes were red. His mouth constantly quivered but did not make a single sound.

His eyes fixed on the corpse. At this moment, he seemed to have lost his soul and become a figurehead.

Richard was stunned. He didn’t expect such an ending.

He glanced at Barry and didn’t say anything.

Richard stepped forward and looked at the corpse carefully under the watch and protection of the bandaged mummy. He noticed the corpse’s chest still pulsed.

‘It’s not dead yet??

He instinctively opened the attribute panel.

[Human]

[Status: Transformation failed.]

‘Transformation… failed?’

Richard’s pupils tightened. He instantly opened the Black Gold System.

More detailed information appeared as expected.

[Blood Pool — Using blood to strengthen the person who entered it transforms him into a mighty hero.]

[Using blood to strengthen oneself came from a high-level demon. It would collect blood into the blood pool.]

[After the fortification is completed, the sacrifice would be eternally loyal to them. It was a rare sacrifice in the abyss.]

[The higher the blood power the blood pool swallowed, the higher the potential of the hero unit after successful transformation.]

[Note: The fortification has been interrupted. The current replacement for the strengthened object is — the bandaged mummy. You can throw corpses and blood into the blood pool to increase its potential. Current incubation time: 1 day.]

After Richard read the description, his expression became extremely eager.

‘Blood pool? Fortified hero?’

‘No wonder the demon wanted to build a blood pool…’

However, Richard accidentally sent the bandaged mummy down to search which interrupted the process.

Now, his bandaged mummy had become a sacrificial object and was about to transform into a hero…

‘Hahahaha!’

‘Does this work too??!’
