Free Web NovelChapter 144: Chapter 103: Fighting on Two Fronts, Resisting a Siege by 20 Bosses and Defending Against an Endless, Surging Monster Tide
To prevent Qing City from being submerged by the monster tide, Sun Yu still made the call, even though he had seen on the livestream that his bro, Shen Fei, was at a critical moment.
He couldn’t hold on!
He absolutely couldn’t hold on!!
Sun Yu could barely fend off a single wave with his 512 Defense Towers. With monsters spawning nonstop, he couldn’t hold out...
"Bro!!"
"The Heaven-Reaching Tower is spawning monsters!!"
"And they’re hundreds, even thousands of times stronger!"
"They’re infinitely stronger than in the game!!"
"And the bottom five floors are all spawning at once!"
The moment the call connected, Sun Yu roared into the phone.
"What?!"
200 kilometers away, having just one-shot another Knight boss, Shen Fei was shocked to hear that the Heaven-Reaching Tower was spawning monsters.
The Heaven-Reaching Tower!?
He remembered trying to attack the semi-corporeal Heaven-Reaching Tower with his Star-Slaying Tower, but since it was impossible to hit, he had quickly rejoined the main force for the city siege.
Shen Fei had never expected that the one and only Heaven-Reaching Tower inherited from the game would actually start spawning monsters. Moreover, the monsters were many times stronger than in the game, and five monster tides were erupting at the same time.
"Bro!! I can’t hold on!!!"
"I really can’t hold on!!!"
While Shen Fei was still processing the situation, Sun Yu had already started screaming desperately. Because he hadn’t reported it immediately, the monster tide had accelerated, and the defensive line Sun Yu had established was already in shambles.
"Hang on!!!"
More than half of the bosses outside the city walls remained, but Shen Fei had to leave. Qing City’s safety was just as important as the ongoing battle for the Neutral City!
Before leaving, he had told all the members of the Tourism Management Office that he would protect Qing City, so they could focus on capturing the Neutral City without worry. He couldn’t let anything happen to Qing City. If it did, he didn’t know how he would ever explain himself!
SWOOSH!
He pulled over Wang Dapang, who happened to be standing nearby, and gave him loud instructions, then quickly explained the situation to Li Yunlong. He set his Defense Towers to attack automatically and locked the targets of his three Poison Thorn Towers onto the bosses. Then, without another word, he waved his hand and stepped into the Teleportation Gate Tower he had just summoned.
He was surrounded by eight hundred comrades, many of whom had support-type Defense Towers that increased range. At his command, the range of his Teleportation Gate Tower was boosted to 2,000 kilometers in the blink of an eye. With such a range, returning to Qing City via the Teleportation Gate Tower was no problem at all.
WHOOSH!
His vision blurred. When Shen Fei stepped out of the Teleportation Gate, he was standing next to Sun Yu.
"Bro!!!"
Seeing his bro appear, Sun Yu cried out excitedly.
"Holy crap!!"
After deploying a Detection Tower, Shen Fei was stunned by the sight a few kilometers away. The monster tide was a dense, seething mass, piled hundreds of meters high like a human pyramid.
He knew Yu couldn’t hold out, but he had no idea it was this bad.
SWOOSH!
With a gasp, Shen Fei immediately deployed a Wall Tower.
Instantly, a rectangular defensive wall, over three meters high and one meter thick, appeared, forming a one-kilometer perimeter around the Heaven-Reaching Tower. The wall quickly encircled the area, momentarily halting the surging monsters.
Of course, this was only a brief delay. A three-meter-high wall could easily be scaled.
"Star-Slaying Tower!!"
The moment the surging monsters were temporarily blocked, Shen Fei summoned his Star-Slaying Tower and fired it at the stationary Heaven-Reaching Tower.
He had originally wanted to leave the Heaven-Reaching Tower standing, hoping it might form a Secret Realm once his abilities continued to be inherited and version 4.4 arrived. He had never expected that this place would start spawning monsters. Right here in his hometown of Qing City, the Heaven-Reaching Tower was spewing them out.
The siege 200 kilometers away was at a critical juncture. No matter how regretful he felt, Shen Fei had no choice but to destroy the Heaven-Reaching Tower.
I can’t keep it! This monster tide is happening at the worst possible time!
WHOOSH!
The silent Destructive Light appeared once more.
WHOOSH!
The endless horde of monsters surrounding the Heaven-Reaching Tower—a dense swarm hundreds of meters thick and spanning a radius of nearly one kilometer—vanished in an instant, wiped out in a single move.
"What the—!!"
The super-strike from the Tenth Tier Defense Tower had annihilated the surging monster tide, but Shen Fei, the one who launched the attack, felt no joy.
He saw that although the Star-Slaying Tower’s powerful attack had cleared the monsters, the dark, towering Heaven-Reaching Tower, standing tall like the Leifeng Pagoda, was completely unharmed. This was true for both the already solidified portions—the bottom five floors, which were over a hundred meters in diameter and five to six meters high—and the dozens of semi-corporeal floors above them.
All of it was completely undamaged!
The Star-Slaying Tower, which could deal 200,000 damage to a Neutral City’s Shield in a single shot, was, just like before, completely ineffective against the Heaven-Reaching Tower!
"Fuck!"
As Shen Fei stared in astonishment, he saw even more monsters pouring out of the Heaven-Reaching Tower. He had cleared the monster tide blocking the entrance, but that had only opened the floodgates for more monsters to pour out. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Countless monsters swarmed out shoulder to shoulder, even faster than before.
There were more of them this time. ƒreewebɳovel.com
They were bigger!
And stronger!
ZZZRAK!
Looking at the dense monster tide, Shen Fei didn’t use his Star-Slaying Tower this time. Instead, he deployed his other Tenth Tier Defense Tower—the Lightning Chain Tower.
A single attack from the Star-Slaying Tower could clear everything, but its cooldown was too long. For a dense, overlapping monster tide like this, the Lightning Chain Tower was far more suitable.
CRACKLE!
CRACKLE!
CRACKLE!
As if Thor himself had descended, countless bolts of Lightning Chain appeared. Each one was over a hundred meters long, as thick as an arm, and branched out in numerous directions.
The surging monster tide was being rapidly cleared away...
It really is the monsters from the first five floors of the Heaven-Reaching Tower!
Watching the types of monsters pouring out, Shen Fei recognized their origin.
In the game, he could one-shot the first five floors of the Heaven-Reaching Tower. But now that the monsters were hundreds or even thousands of times stronger, he couldn’t one-shot them anymore.
He was pinned down here.
