This laser beam penetrated the horned dragon’s body.
Blood flowed on the ground, and the scent of blood quickly spread.
Roar!
The horned dragon roared in pain.
It was a Tier 8 creature, when had it last experienced such pain!
The horned dragon’s body began to tremble violently.
Although this attack was not fatal, it posed an enormous threat to one’s soul.
It could feel that its soul was constantly being burned.
This pain was far greater than the pain from the wounds on its fleshly body.
It could still recover from physical injuries.
However, if its soul was damaged, there would be almost no chance of recovery.
The laser beam finally dissipated.
And the horned dragon staggered to its feet.
It knew that it would likely die here today.
However, even if it had to die, it would make the enemy pay the price!
Although the idea was there…
Gale’s battle units would not give the horned dragon any chance to resist.
The Gold Dragon Elena reverted to her dragon body.
The golden scales emitted a holy aura under the sunlight.
Roar!
A resounding voice came from the Gold Dragon’s mouth.
A five-meter long sword was formed by the Golden Dragon alongside the roar, and hovered above the horned dragon.
As the Gold Dragon waved its front claws, the sword vibrated slightly before plunging straight down.
Rip!
This gigantic sword pierced through the body of the horned dragon and pinned it to the ground.
No matter how hard the horned dragon struggled, it was unable to escape from the giant sword.
Under the double damage to body and soul, the horned dragon quickly lost the right to struggle.
It could only fall to the ground weakly.
Even its roars seemed weak and powerless now.
However, as long as the target was not dead, the battle units would not stop attacking.
The smell of blood continued to stimulate the Night Demon Mark.
His eyes turned red.
And he kept muttering words that were hard to understand.
Furthermore, the speed of chanting became faster and faster.
At this moment, tiny blood threads were being extracted from the horned dragon’s body.
Mark saw this and flew directly above the horned dragon.
He closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the blood vessels lingering on his fingertips.
He loved the smell of blood.
Absorbing the blood of high levelled creatures would be of great help to his own tier.
The horned dragon’s body began to tremble anew as its blood was extracted.
The scales slid off its body.
Even the horn on its head had fallen off.
Before long, it lost the support given by its blood, crumbling into a clump of dirt, blending into the vast lands.
From the earth you are born, and to the earth you shall return.
The Tier 8 horned dragon had fallen!
“It died just like that?”
Mark muttered.
The battle units around him were not surprised when they saw this.
They already got used to it.
Every battle unit had a way to increase their strength.
Among them, Night Demon Mark’s was the most violent and bloody.
This was something that everyone was familiar with.
…
Inside the castle.
A blinding light enveloped Gale.
Soon, the light dissipated.
Gale’s strength increased again!
Crossing Tier 4 to reach Tier 5!
Not bad!
Gale was in a great mood.
Tier 5 strength, in the Endless Land, was already considered reasonable.
At least, he had already entered the ranks of the strong.
From now on, Gale was no longer the Castle Lord who had no ability to protect himself!
As his tier increased, a notification sounded.
[Killed Tier 8 Horned Dragon, +200 Energy, +10 Origin Edges +1 Origin Crystal, +1 Blueprint]
It was information about the horned dragon.
“Such a generous reward!”
Gale’s breathing quickened.
This time, the benefits of killing a Tier 8 horned dragon were too great.
Not only did he gain a lot of energy points, but even Origin Edges and Crystals which he needed to upgrade his barracks.
What excited Gale the most was the blueprint that he dreamed of getting!
Finally, it was completely realized today!
Although he didn’t know what kind of blueprint it was, for an item to be a blueprint, its quality would not be too shabby.
“Finally!”
Gale was very overjoyed at this moment. He managed to promote to Tier 5, get enough resources, and even a blueprint this time!
This blueprint was too difficult to come by.
This was something he obtained only after killing a Tier 8 monster.
Gale was not as lucky as Natalie.
“Nightmare Team, mission completed!”
The information about killing the horned dragon kept ringing in Gale’s mind.
Once the eighth rank horned dragon died, the dragon tribe that was nearby would no longer pose a threat to the Nightmare Squad!
In this battle, Nightmare Squad perfectly triumphed over the horned dragons.
Gale stared in the direction of the forest.
The fight with the monsters continued, but at this point, it was just a one-sided slaughter.
The scales of victory had already tilted towards his side.
At the same time, Gale was very curious.
What kind of blueprint would he get this time?
It would be a lie to say that he did not feel emotional.
This was the first blueprint Gale obtained!
Of course, all of this could only wait until the Nightmare Team brought back the blueprint before they knew what it was for.
…
Within the forest.
The Nightmare Team was still hunting the last few surviving horned dragons.
Their mission this time was to completely exterminate the horned dragons.
Against these potential threats, the Nightmare Team would not show mercy.
As for the remaining horned dragons, the highest ranked one was only Tier 5.
In the face of the Nightmare Team, they had no way of resisting at all.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it was a one-sided crushing.
Time flew by quickly.
Wherever the Nightmare Team passed, horned dragons would fall.
In the end, all the horned dragons were killed.
All the battle units had been promoted a tier higher!
The strongest member of the Nightmare Team was now at Tier 8!
That’s right, the Elven Empress Cicely had reached Tier 8.
The four Night Demon guards had even been promoted twice through this hunt!
This was a huge increase in strength.
If nothing went wrong, the battle unit who had just advanced to the Tier 7 might even have a chance to break through the shackles to Tier 8 today.
After all, there were too many horned dragons.
While the energy needed for each promotion was tremendous, there was still some time before night fell.
If one was able to kill a large number of monsters during this period of time, they would definitely be able to promote once more!
The Nightmare Team began to clean up the spoils of the day.
The corpses of the horned dragons scattered throughout the forest were piled up together.
Those monsters that were initially attracted over by the smell of blood immediately turned tail and fled after sensing the powerful energy fluctuations in the area.
Even the low levelled monsters had some intelligence.
A team that could wipe out the entire horned dragon tribe was not something they could provoke.
Naturally, the Nightmare Team could also sense these fleeing monsters.
However, they did not choose to pursue them.
The reason was simple. The Nightmare team was cleaning up the spoils of war and bringing them to Gale, thus they had no time to deal with the monsters.
Meanwhile, Gale remained standing on the observation deck, looking out to the forest.
He could feel that the battle units had gotten an all round upgrade in their strength this time.
This gave Gale more confidence to obtain the Unique Reward!
Tier 8 battle unit!
Gale believed that other than him, there was no other Castle Lord that had a battle unit at that tier.
