Chapter 203
“Boom!”
As night fell, a loud bang was heard in the sky, and an ominous crimson lightning appeared over the quiet city.
This red lightning is actually a void rift, and players who have witnessed the upgrade of city-level territories are no strangers to it.
The first void crack was squeezed open, and a giant hand made purely of fire stretched out from it, tearing open the crack and revealing its figure.
"Fire Elemental Lord!"
The players in the distance immediately recognized the identity of the first monster descending from the Void Rift. This was the ultimate boss that would appear in the Chaos School dungeon during Void Capture. And now, during the White Night City upgrade, a monster of this level had just begun to appear...
So, as some speculated, is White Night City now above level nine? And the last upgrade was actually a double-level increase?!
The terrifying rating of White Night City and the prosperity of the territory have always been speculated by StarCraft players, but there is no clear evidence, and they are somewhat unwilling to admit it, so it has always remained a speculation.
After all, even though other player territories had experienced rapid development during this period, their highest level was only level eight. White Night City had always been ahead of all other player territories. Whether it was one or two levels ahead was unclear until it actually reached that level...
But at this moment, this scene seems to be able to explain the problem.
“Boom…Boom…”
The first crack was just the beginning. Thunder followed one after another, and lightning of different colors struck, forming a series of void cracks in the sky above White Night City.
Accompanied by a powerful aura and pressure, it was as if a BOSS expo was held above White Night City. All kinds of powerful monsters that the nearby players had seen and had not seen emerged from the cracks.
Even the Fire Elemental Lord, who required fifty elite soldiers to defeat in the Void Capture, became an ordinary character in this context.
Even though they were at a distance, the players who were watching this scene from afar felt a shudder in their hearts. For the first time, they were extremely curious but did not dare to get closer, for fear that if they got any closer, they would accidentally enter the attack range of these BOSSes.
The third job change also brought real mental power growth to StarCraft players. Because of the activities in the Ten Thousand Worlds, the first batch of players who cultivated the game have already reaped the fruits. Many psychics who were originally C-level have broken through to B-level along with the game level.
It can be said that the overall mental strength level of StarCraft players has been greatly improved, and it is only a matter of time before B-level players are everywhere.
However, the higher the level, the greater the cost of death in the game. Although death in the game is not true death, it will still result in loss of experience and cause a drop in rank. Therefore, players now cherish their lives more than in the past at the beginning of the game.
This powerful aura could be felt not only by nearby players, but also by ordinary beasts near White Night City. The crazy attacks of ordinary beasts that would appear during territory upgrades in the past did not occur this time. The pressure of the powerful BOSS had overwhelmed the attraction of the Tree of Creation.
Giant elementals, chimeras, kodo beasts, stitched behemoths... Each of these bosses is huge in size. One can imagine what kind of terrible damage they will cause if they actually land in White Night City.
——How will White Night City respond to such a terrifying army of BOSS?
Looking at the White Night City which had not yet dispatched any military units, the players had the same doubt in their hearts. They began to wonder whether Bai Ye would transform the undead to fight again like last time. However, they had been active in the White Night City, had seen the Elf Queen, heard of the Purgatory Demon, but had not seen the figure of the First Lord for a long time.
“Roar…Ah!”
Then in the next moment, all the players suddenly heard continuous and one-after-another screams coming from the mouths of the BOSSes that were emerging from the void rifts.
"what happens?"
The screams were so miserable, and not just from one or two people, but from all the BOSSes that were about to descend.
They clearly didn’t see any attack launched by White Night City... Wait, then the players discovered the clue!
In the sky, the bosses that were coming out of the void rifts, whose bodies that were just moving outwards suddenly stopped, it was as if the invasion was paused by someone, and it was forced.
Because in the next moment, the players saw the parts of the bosses' bodies that emerged from the space cracks falling uncontrollably. Before they could completely exit the space cracks, they were cut off by the suddenly closed cracks.
Just like a normally opened passage door, when these BOSSes were halfway through, it was suddenly ruthlessly closed by someone!
The force that closes this space is so sharp, almost like the rules of space, that it ignores normal magic and physical defenses and cuts the bodies of these bosses equally.
The players who had made countless guesses before never expected that the defense of White Night City would be like this.
You don't even fight, you just use the 'door' to trap the siege boss!
Who did it and how?
When the players were stunned and bewildered, amidst a burst of horrifying screams and rage, the bosses fell from the sky with their living limbs still attached. When it looked like they were about to land in the White Night City, something unexpected happened again.
"What is that?!"
Huge bright red tentacles stretched out from a space channel inside the White Night City, wrapping up all the limbs and pulling them back.
There seemed to be some kind of suction on the tentacles, and not even the blood was spilled on the ground of White Night City. Instead, it was dragged into a space channel where all the tentacles were located without any waste, and disappeared completely.
When the players first saw it, they thought the red tentacle was some powerful siege monster. After seeing its movements, they realized that this huge creature obviously belonged to the White Night City.
But what was this creature that looked like some giant mollusk? Was it also summoned from the divine realm? How could it be so huge!
Kraken has always been in the image of a little girl in Void Capture, and is mainly responsible for restricting Walsh and clearing the battlefield. When players encounter the White Night City team, they cannot withstand the attacks of the Infernal Devil, and have not yet reached the stage of knowing Kraken, so naturally they have no impression of her.
"hiss……"
Seeing the tentacles of the Kraken at this time, the players present couldn't help but gasp. The monster that appeared with the void rift was already the top in the myriad worlds. This strength obviously crushed them. The creature they had never heard of was most likely from the realm of the gods.
The Elf Queen, the Infernal Demon... Bai Ye speculated that she had at least three summoning slots from the divine realm, so what else did she summon from the divine realm?!
"Boom..."
“Ouch!”
Lightning of three different colors continued to cover the sky above White Night City. Compared with the more than ten bosses that suddenly appeared at the beginning, the number was much slower, but the aura and power were even stronger.
However, the power of the defenders of White Night City seemed to have no limit. Any boss that emerged from the void rift could not escape the fate of being "cracked" midway.
Originally, many powerful BOSSes had characteristics similar to those of the Snake Demon Lord, and could fight as separate individuals even with broken parts of their bodies. However, there were a bunch of tentacles waiting in the White Night City, like the smartest and most efficient garbage cleaners, responsible for cleaning the battlefield.
That’s right, Ottophis was indeed the main force defending the city this time, but as the two big eaters under Ye Bai’s command, the Space Dragon didn’t like to eat everything, but the Sea God liked to eat everything... so she took the initiative to offer to share the work.
Therefore, those bodies that could have fought back lost their chance when they were swept away. It can be said that they were both killed and buried.
The nearby players were all amazed by this efficiency and wanted to shout to those BOSSes, "Don't let this be a trap!"
This continued until the second half of the night, with the frequency of the cracks appearing becoming slower and slower, and the level of the BOSS becoming stronger and stronger.
Finally, with a three-colored lightning bolt, the most powerful BOSS in this battle appeared.
It was a giant insect with a translucent body and hundreds of segments. Its scales and flesh glowed with a faint blue light, as if they existed outside this space.
"It's... I know it!"
A third-level player who happened to have encountered a related task recognized that this was the legendary monster [Space Worm] that existed in all the NPCs in the world. It was said that it fed on space cracks. It had a huge body but was agile in movement and was immune to many magic and physical attacks.
Like other BOSSes, after the space worm poked its head out of the crack, the space crack closed again, as if it wanted to cut off its body.
However, this powerful monster, whose name suggests its abilities, is finally no longer as powerless as the previous BOSS.
The body of the space worm suddenly became transparent, and the entire existence flashed for a moment. Then, the body that seemed to be a hundred meters long directly transferred through space, successfully avoided the attack of the space crack, and descended into this world.
Suddenly, all the players who were paying attention to the battlefield became excited: Is this BOSS finally different?
However, unlike the players' expectation of a big battle, the space worm that had just landed here suddenly felt something was wrong. It let out a silent hiss, and its body suddenly curled up, tensing to the extreme.
The next moment, under the gazes of the crowd with inexplicable expectations, the silhouette of the space worm actually began to fade.
The players who saw this scene were almost unable to react: "Ah? Is it trying to... escape?"
No way! They had never seen a siege boss run away when upgrading a territory!
However, no matter how incredible it was to the players, it all really happened. The top BOSS in the universe who appeared last was intelligent enough. Even under the attraction of the ninth-level Creation Tree's blossoming, he restrained his madness and prepared to escape directly.
All I can say is that all the madness stems from the threat not being big enough.
Seeing the space worm's action, the red tentacles in the space channel in White Night City have already moved flexibly, ready to block the space worm.
However, this time there was no time for Kraken to stop him.
Because the next moment, the players saw a shadow they had never seen before rising in the residential area of White Night City...
The space worm is over a hundred meters long, and even when curled up it is still very impressive, like a small fortress.
But compared to the giant dragon shadow rising from the city, it really looks like an ordinary worm.
In the extreme silence, the behemoth that has stood at the top of the food chain in the divine world since ancient times raised its body from the White Night City, and even temporarily blocked the gradually solidifying void corridor in the sky from sight. With its wings extended, there was almost an illusion that it could cover up the current White Night City.
Even though it was the first time they saw it, all the players who saw this scene immediately recognized it without a doubt. This was the ancient dragon that the NPCs in the divine world had mentioned.
Everything happened in silence. Despite its terrifying size, the ancient dragon moved without any sign of bulk. It did not affect any of the buildings in White Night City. It appeared very lightly, opened its huge mouth, and swallowed the suddenly immobilized space worm like delicious food.
At this moment, all the players were silent and had forgotten to think. Only the red tentacle shook at the eaten space worm, and then slowly retracted as if with regret.
As the Space Dragon swallowed the last siege boss, the first rays of morning light appeared in the sky.
After resolving everything, the giant dragon that covered the sky and the sun ignored everyone and everything, and began to move just as quietly as it had appeared. It gently retracted its wings and fell down, as if it would continue to hide in the White Night City.
But in the next moment, the dragon suddenly seemed to sense something, and the figure that was about to land back raised up again.
The ancient dragon raised its proud head towards the sky, and then caught a human figure falling from the void without any error.
Everything is just right.
"Hey, I was thinking of sneaking back early to give you guys a surprise, but I didn't expect you to surprise me first..."
The server-wide announcement sounded at this time:
[Congratulations to Baiye City for becoming the first territory to be upgraded to a main city! ]
[Obtained exclusive territory title: Eternal City. ]
