Chapter 122 - 0122: Crisis (Added 1100, Please request for Monthly Pass!)
I don’t know how much time has passed.
The lightning storm and meteor fire rain has finally dissipated.
In the outer perimeter of the Inner Circle of Green Tree Castle, the white fog has completely disappeared, revealing many damaged inner-circle buildings, with blood seeping out from underneath the brick and stone, which belongs to the affected ordinary people and unlucky professionals.
Only the buildings near the White Tower still stand, but the surface is fractured with many cracks.
Even the White Tower itself has lost much of its brilliance.
In the high sky.
Moron stands proudly with Black KOS, looking at the senior figures inside the White Tower’s Inner Circle: “Contraction defense? Smart!”
Irin looks at the damaged outer perimeter, a touch of heaviness appearing on his face: “Today…you will not succeed!”
The White Tower’s defense contraction, coupled with several [Great Arcanists] , is enough to resist a Fifth-order Legend, akin to a fortress.
Furthermore, he himself, a fifth level [Candle Mage], is capable of restraining [Phantom Demon] Black KOS, also posing no issue.
These two fifth-order legends have sacrificed the souls and flesh of many people and received monstrous gifts from the demons. Just one breakthrough has made them powerhouses of the same level!
Even so, if the delay lasts too long, by the time the Federation’s reinforcements arrive, it will spell trouble.
The power of a global nation, as long as it is willing to pay the price, can definitely eradicate a fifth-order legend or even a sixth-order legend level professional!
“Will not?”
Black Kos chuckled: “The outer perimeter of the Mystic Lock has been completely abandoned, and your Tower Spirit and Arcane must guard here, so…”
Snap!
He snaps his fingers, and the crisp sound travels far and wide.
As if responding to a signal, a large number of figures in black robes appeared on the outer perimeter of the Inner Circle.
“Death… is the final destination!”
They praise death and collectively set off a puff of green smoke.
– Plague Skill!
Underneath the shroud of green smoke, the surviving ordinary people and professionals on the outer perimeter choke and fall down within seconds, with eyes bloodshot.
Some even sprout fist-sized black tumors on their bodies, which explode violently, the corrosive liquid falling to the ground, blooming into large amounts of smoke and sound.
Creak! Creak!
A large number of skeletal warriors pull themselves out of the dirt, swaying their bone-only heads, their hollow eyes staring in the direction of the White Tower.
“Black Death Society’s Black Dead Followers?!”
In the high sky, Sleydon and others are shocked: “Ancient Snake Society and Black Death Society have joined forces?”
The most famous trait of the Evil God is unpredictability.
The groups that believe in them, it’s normal for them to kill each other.
Sometimes the damage they cause is even greater than the siege of the Seven Gods.
Such a union is clearly abnormal!
But at this moment, they don’t have time to think too much.
A great battle in the sky is about to begin.
On the ground, many members of the Black Death Society and Ancient Snake Society are slowly capturing the Inner Circle, their target clearly the White Tower!
The Tower Spirit’s defense is steadily dwindling, and it’s about to be pushed into a corner!
White Tower, Fourth Floor.
Outside, shockwaves were incessant.
Su Lu ignores it all and focuses on the bookshelf in front of him.
“In such a terrifying battle, I’m just a small fish… It’s safer to hide in the White Tower…Plus, two legend-level powerhouses, and Beryl who I sensed earlier, indicates that at least two evil organizations involved in this attack?”
That being said, Green Tree Castle is really eye-catching.
The [Arcane] heritage, countless research results, and mysterious knowledge make it the perfect target within the Federation.
Before, there were three legendary professionals sitting in town, and with the protection of the White Tower’s Mystic Lock, it was near flawless.
But now, the defense had obvious cracks!
“Looking at it this way, from the outset of the attack on Nia City, it could have been a trap! A chain scheme?”
Su Lu looked grave: “But… Beryl may have come for me!”
I exposed my location last time, thinking that the inner circle was safe, and did not move.
But he forgot something, the cultists were madmen, how could they have any restraint?
“I hope the chief and deputy chief can return soon.”
Glancing around, Su Lu found that there were indeed a few smart individuals amongst them. At this moment, they were all on the fourth floor, each awkwardly meeting others’ gaze and forcing stiff smiles.
Underneath the White Tower, a frantic and exasperated voice read out.
The White Tower’s Tower Spirit, the defense, was obstructed by the numerous Black Dead Followers attacking the White Tower. With most of the “Arcane” power used to defend against the two legendary professionals in the sky, vulnerabilities were created.
At this point, things were critical, calling for the enlistment of professionals.
Luckily, most members of the White Tower’s inner circle had professional levels, they were not weak.
However, having scientists on the battlefield was a true testament to the danger of the situation.
Reaching out a hand, Su Lu touched the wooden frame, discovering with regret that the White Tower’s power was still undeniably strong and the layer of defense had not been withdrawn yet.
“What are you doing here?”
Right then, a professor in a white coat hurried down from the floor above: “Don’t just stand there, follow me to the defenses!”
“Yes, sir!”
A couple of voices responded, and another voice spoke: “Su Lu! What a coincidence!”
“Oh, it’s you, Orchi!”
Su Lu smiled, realizing Orchi was also on the fourth floor.
“What are you still doing?! Follow me!”
The professor who had spoken previously seemed to have quite the influence. A terrifying energy field surrounded him, summoning the few remaining research staff in the White Tower out to organize a defense on the first floor.
“Arcane Barrier!”
“Eyes of Arcane!”
With his command, a layer of arcane radiance bloomed.
Layers of light screens emerged, reflecting the scene outside the White Tower.
White Skeleton warriors, figures cloaked in black, and even peculiarly shaped creatures were particularly fearless, having broken through several lines of defense and reaching the surroundings of the White Tower.
Many survivors had already taken refuge in the White Tower, crowding the first-floor communal area.
“If you…don’t want to die, listen to me immediately and prepare for defense!”
Seeing this scene, the leading [Arcanist] jumped onto a table and bellowed:
“The spellcasters get ready, frontline warriors step forward!”
Ambushing these research personnel out to fight was already a difficult feat. What he hoped was just, inside the White Tower, to organize a defense, resisting bit by bit, minimizing the loss.
Looking at the scene of flying flesh and blood on the light screen, and the battle of the professionals, Su Lu took a step forward and sighed.
His promotion to [Soldier] within the inner circle could not be hidden. After Orchi’s complicated gaze, Su Lu felt it was better for him to step forward. At least this way, he could retain some control.
“Good! I don’t ask much of you, cooperate with me, guard the Tower Gate! Just hold on for half an hour… no, at most twenty minutes, and the Federation’s reinforcements will definitely arrive!”
The lead [Arcanist] quickly spoke.
‘The enemy has almost breached the White Tower… even though the Green Tree Council and the Tower Spirit’s power is restrained, is the inner circle this weak?’
A trace of suspicion appeared on Su Lu’s face.
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
At that moment, a tremendous tremor suddenly came from outside!
