Chapter 784 Otherworldly Guest
The once solemn Fire Throne now shook uncontrollably!
Large areas of damage had appeared on the surface of the tower. Some more impatient Alliance adepts were already commanding their voodoo beasts to charge into the tower and initiate ‘urban warfare’ against the Crimson adepts in the narrow corridors. Casualties on both sides were increasing exponentially.
The energy supply of the tower might not be sufficient, but the magical doors and traps that filled the interior of the tower were still active. The Crimson adepts undoubtedly had an immense advantage when fighting in an area like this.
They could quickly retreat or move away if the situation turned against them. The Alliance adepts would be at considerable risk of triggering traps if they pursued them while they escaped. That would cause the Alliance adepts to be surrounded and ambushed by enemies many times their number.
Every single place could become a battlefield between adepts as both parties moved throughout the tower.
There were many structures within the tower. Yet, how could they possibly endure being ravaged by a war between adepts? One by one, they burned in the fires of war before collapsing into ruin. As the Alliance adepts continued to surge into the tower, the ruined areas increased in number and the area where the Crimson adepts could move freely started to decrease.
A magical barrier?
Yurga and Haines were surprised. They once again focused and realized that the exhausted tower was once again ‘reviving’ with the introduction of a strange surge of energy.
“Dammit. Ignore the energy room; we have to destroy the central crystal here first.” Yurga roared furiously.
“Dammit, dammit, dammit…we’ve all been tricked. This tower actually has a second energy source. Hurry up; we must destroy the central crystal of the tower before its defense systems are activated.” Even Haines had been driven into a rage.
It was precisely because Fire Throne’s defensive system had been depowered that they even dared to break into the higher levels of the tower. If the defensive systems were to be activated at this moment, they, who had overextended into enemy territory…
Even the two of them felt their heads hurt when thinking of the might of an adept tower’s defensive system, let alone ordinary First or Second Grade adepts. They wouldn’t even have a chance to resist the system.
Just as the two of them started panicking, some sort of trouble occurred on the higher levels. The entire tower trembled.
The Alliance adepts who were gathered at the entrance to the fourth level let out horrifying screams and ran away like a herd of sheep being chased by a wolf.
“What’s the matter? Stand your ground, people!” Yurga roared out angrily as the leader of the adepts, but his words stopped in his mouth before he could complete his sentence.
He could very clearly see a swarm of magical machines flood out of the fourth level, each of them with magic energy cannons in their hands and chasing after the Alliance adepts.
And their number? Like a flood of metal: vast, endless, and uncountable.
