54 Troop Class Evolution ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m
‘This familiar black fog… could it be?’
Su Wan prepared to walk out of the castle. She realized that the troops had suddenly changed.
The Golden Behemoth’s fur was black. It looked like a mix between black and gold. Black and gold energy aura intertwined around its body.
‘Black Gold Behemoth?!’ Su Wan felt excited.
!!
Her trump card had finally appeared. Black Gold Behemoth was her fatal and final weapon. Its appearance along with the three-headed Cerberus was her most important weapon.
“Roar!”
The muscles of the Black Gold Behemoths swelled. They looked up to the sky and let out a deafening roar that resounded through the surrounding land.
“Power!”
“Thank you for the gift of darkness!”
The Black Gold Behemoths shouted one after another, thanking someone Su Wan didn’t know. The situation confused her.
‘Could it be that they are unrelated to Xu Yuan?’ she wondered. ‘If Xu Yuan made them, shouldn’t they be thanking him?’ f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Su Wan thought that her guess might have been wrong. If Xu Yuan was involved in transforming her troops, they would have thanked him.
Su Wan looked at the Skeleton Knights. They had undergone a similar change. The Skeleton Knights, which were originally made of bones, now had a dark-blue Soul Fire in their skulls. Soul Fire also illuminated the skulls of the horses they rode on.
Black flames surrounded the Skeleton Horses and Skeleton Knights. Under Su Wan’s shocked gaze, the black flames gathered and formed a set of pitch-black armor on the Skeleton Knights’ bodies.
‘Death Knight?!’ Su Wan was stunned.
She had not expected the Skeleton Knights to advance to a Death Knight.
This scene was even more shocking than the Golden Behemoth’s evolution to the Black Gold Behemoth! That was because there were only a few Golden behemoths. So, their transformation didn’t look that shocking. But numerous Skeleton Knights transforming into Death Knights were a sight to behold!
It wasn’t just the Skeleton Knights and the Golden Behemoths that had changed. All the troops in the territory had changed.
The Dark Goblin evolved into a Black Magic Goblin with a black wizard hat on its head and a black magic staff in its hand. Its combat power seemed to have increased a lot.
The Hellhounds had evolved into Two-Headed Hellhounds, looking even more ferocious and terrifying!
“Thank you for the gift of darkness!”
whether it was the goblins or the hellhounds, they all yelled, expressing their gratitude to the unknown benefactor.
‘What is the gift of darkness and who is doing it?’ Su Wan wondered. But she had no time to dwell on that thought. She hurried to the frontlines.
The beast tide was already charging towards her. The crowd had numerous creatures, wild animals and magical beasts.
It was troublesome because magical beasts were present. Otherwise, it would have been fairly easy to handle the wild animals and other creatures.
The Two-Headed Hellhound spewed out black flames, burning a large area. Those flames shocked Su Wan. They didn’t burn everything they came in contact with. For example, the plants did not catch fire, instead they withered and died.
One of the magical beasts was touched by the black flames. The black flames seemed to have found an opportunity and started burning recklessly. After a short while, the magical beast was encased in black flames entirely.
The magical beast fell to the ground, writhing and howling in pain. But there were no burn marks on its body.
As Su Wan watched, the magical beast struggled one final time and no longer made a sound.
“His soul is burned!” Su Wan finally figured it out. The Two-Headed Hellhound’s black flames burned the soul instead of the body! “If that’s the case, we should be able to defend easily!”
Other than the Two-Headed Hellhounds, other troops also had their own unique tricks up their sleeves.
For a moment, Su Wan was stunned. She thought defending against the beast tide wasn’t this simple! Su Wan didn’t know that there was nothing “simple” about all this. It was because of Xu Yuan’s dark energy that the troops had become powerful.
Xu Yuan gained experience as he slept and felt very refreshed. The troops were already very powerful when they were upgraded to just one more level. It would be a piece of cake to eliminate the beast tide.
Xu Yuan was sure of the outcome. He didn’t know about other Lords, but Su Wan’s troops would easily defend against the beast tide. Although he was sure, the troops facing the beast tide were still falling.
“It’s a good thing I am prepared,” muttered Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan had already calculated the probability of such an incident. As the dead soldiers fell to the ground, the black fog encased them. The fallen soldiers were revived, and they rejoined the fight.
This was because of the Lord of Darkness ability that Xu Yuan possessed.
With the range of Su Wan’s territory, Xu Yuan could encase the dark-type troops in his dark energy and revive them immediately. The soldiers who were resurrected rushed to the frontlines to defend against the beast tide.
Including the resurrection, the experience points he gained increased by tenfold. Xu Yuan sighed as he observed the situation outside even in his sleep.
At present, Su Wan’s troops, under the continuous resurrection of the Lord of Darkness, firmly resisted the beast tide outside the territory!
The beast tide didn’t last for long. The wild animals and magical beasts were already fleeing.
[Congratulations Lord Su Wan for defending against the beast tide attack. Army Type: Hellish Cerberus, unlocked!]
A prompt appeared in Su Wan’s mind. She was so excited that she even forgot to breathe.
‘Hellish Cerberus?!’ Su Wan had seen their power with her own eyes.
When she had fought Chen Ye during the qualifying round to select the contestant for the tournament, he had sacrificed all his troops and gathered all the strength in the SS-class hero, Blood Dominator. Su Wan had felt so desperate to survive.
However, when she thought she was going to be wiped out, the Hellhounds had fused into the Three-Headed Hellhound and fought with the Blood Dominator.
Since then, Su Wan had been very interested and curious about Cerberus. If Cerberus as a troop type was unlocked, then she could create as many Cerberuses as she wanted as long as she had the resources.
As she thought about it, she glanced at the resources needed to create a Cerberus. She instantly regretted even thinking about it.
