Chapter 412
Chapter 412 The Dagger is Revealed
The lack of effective leadership during the early stages caused the beast assault to be chaotic and messy.
However, the arrival of the magical creature lords quickly brought organization to this unrestrained horde.
The wild geladas were thrown into the formation and assigned to dealing with the viscous lava. They broke off stalagmites from the ground and threw them into the lava pools to fill it up. They created a makeshift bridge of sorts, and the ravenous horde was finally able to rush into the hall.
This time, they immediately spread throughout the cavern, preventing the tower from once again sealing their path. The animals filled up the entire place like a terrifying tide.
A dozen magical creature lords slowly moved into the hall, escorted by their most trusted subordinates. They each took up an area in the caverns and started assessing the adept’s tower that stood before them.
This structure was a mysterious tower made of volcanic rock.
The tide of monsters surrounded the tower and squeezed out every single drop of ferocity and savagery they had within them. They crashed against the tower with their bodies and struck at its tough walls with all they had.
If this had been under normal circumstances, a dome-shaped defensive forcefield would have protected the tower. All invaders would first have had to break through this shield before they could touch the tower itself. However, this tower could not do so due to its lack of energy reserves. The best it could do was send all its elementium energy to all of the offensive arrays spread across the tower.
That was why this tower was utterly exposed and used the durability of the tower itself to resist the attacks of the horde!
Phew, phew, phew.
Several magma fireballs blasted and shattered the ground around the tower. The lava and fire devoured all life within a ten-meter radius of the impact.
Every wave of attack from the tower reaped the lives of over a hundred forest beats. However, the density of the beasts around the tower was only becoming greater after a dozen fireball barrages. If it weren’t for the broad areas of lava and fire clearing out some space in the caverns, there would not be a single place for anyone to stand!
Greem stood within his tower. His spirit consciousness connected deeply with the entirety of the tower.
He looked from high in the sky and saw tens of thousands of beasts attacking the tower all at once. They dealt significant injury to the tower’s structural integrity. Greem could sense cracks appearing on the outer layer of the stone wall. Alarms and sirens continuously went off in his mind.
Yet despite the danger and urgency of the situation, Greem remained as calm as ever!
His attention was not on these foot soldiers at all. He silently observed the magical creature lords. Only their actions concerned Greem.
The reason he had been so patient in waiting out and enduring the storm was so that he could bait these monsters onto the battlefield. It would be a shame if those guys weren’t at the frontlines when he finally revealed his trump card!
Outside the tower, the horde’s attack continued.
Countless beasts and magical creatures frantically dug away at the unyielding rock floor and the reinforced walls. They were trying to undermine the tower’s foundation. A dozen iron rhinoceros, berserk geladas, and razors boars had gotten into a formation in front of the doors of the adept’s tower. They wildly charged and threw themselves at the adamantium doors.
The dull hammering reverberated throughout the caverns. One could hear the savage and wild roars of the savage beasts every time they crashed against the doors.
Their morale and passion had infected the magical creature lords as well. The lords slowly moved forward and soon ventured within two hundred meters of the tower.
And this range was the best distance for Greem to trigger his trap! It was a distance he had already calculated beforehand!
Greem sensed the commotion outside the tower. He gritted his teeth and raised his right arm. A transparent magical crystal rested in his palm, flashing with strange lights.
Greem crushed the crystal!
