Chapter 2618: The Skyscraper Fortress

No matter how many layers of magic barriers were covering the buildings, it still felt like the buildings would collapse at any second.

On one side of the river stood the modem city, but the other side was like Hell. Tens of thousands of Undead were crawling around it. Their greedy eyes were glowing like red stars in the sky.

Half of Dongfang Oriental Tower was covered with the ghastly dark-red-skinned creatures. They were using the tower like a pillar to build a black fortress.

It was obvious they were eying the city greedily. Their terrifying gazes had already paralyzed the city, let alone what would happen the moment they broke through the barrier.

‘Troops of Battlemages had gathered along the river. They stood along the river like a wall, but each of their faces were filled with fear.

Could they really stop so many Undead that were at least as strong as Warrior-level creatures? Even a Forbidden Mage would be devoured by the tide of Undead in no time!

“Stay calm, the sacred altar won’t be destroyed so easily!”

“The people on Dongfang Oriental Tower and other buildings will have taken out half of them by the time they crossed the river. Our job is to stop them from reaching the streets!”

The voices trying to motivate the Battlemages never ceased. When the war against the sea monsters first started, the Battlemages were fearlessly charging into the battle.

However, many people realized the motivating words were not going to make a difference. They were now familiar with how strong the sea monsters were. Otherwise, why would they only have five Headquarters Cities left along the coastline?

And now, even the Headquarters Cities were being threatened!

The silver curtains falling from the altar burned with a strong flame. Every time the silver liquid splashed out when the curtains were being attacked, it would burn the Undead that it touched to death.

‘Twenty thousand Undead had already been bumed into ashes. They could no longer revive, but twenty thousand was only a small portion of the army of Undead.

The Shoreline Alliance’s headquarters finally reached its limit and collapsed to the ground in a loud blast.

It was like an exploding ant nest. The creatures inside it began pouring out of the building and headed straight to the rest of the buildings.

Many Mages up on the altar were Casting spells continuously. Bright lights were falling from the altar like a storm, but they were like mere raindrops falling into a lake.

They could not even kill the Undead on the outermost layer!

“They are filling the gaps as soon as we break a hole in them. These things are trickier to kill than the sea monsters!”

“There must be a way to leave this place. We have to hurry!” Councilman Zhuang had completely lost his will to fight.

Could they possibly kill all of the Undead?

Of course not!

Most terrifyingly, more Undead was pouring in through the crack on the dam! They could not kill all of the Undead, even if they kept fighting for several days and nights.

“Councilman Zhuang, how can we run away? The city is across the river. Many people are going to die if we abandon our posts,” an elder of the Hunter Union protested.

“We should avoid unnecessary sacrifices. We are well aware of the situation.”

“But there’s no escape! Our only option is to take them out!”

Would other places be safe once the sea monsters took over the Headquarter City?

“Are we going to wait until those monsters climb up the altar and eat us all alive?” Zhuang Yue snarled back at them.

‘The Undead were stronger than anyone could imagine. The altar was soon like a stranded island surrounded by black water.

Many powerful Mages were trapped up on the altar. They were able to hold the Undead off temporarily with the special Magic Formation, but they could not possibly escape unless several Forbidden Mages showed up right now.

‘The Magic City did have a Forbidden Mage, but his priority was to protect the other side of the river!

Dongfang Oriental Tower and the other buildings there were the last line of defense for the Magic City. It was like a magic fortress made up of several buildings which combined into an ancient Magic Formation.

The fortress was still under construction, but the Undead were already attacking it.

The fearless Undead were the most effective vanguards for the sea monsters. It took them less than half a day to break the dam and swarm the magic fortress!

“How did the buildings fall so quickly?” Dean Xiao, Mo Fan, and the others had just returned from the island. They gasped when they saw the Undead had piled up like a huge living fortress.

“Can you find her?”

“Leave it to me.”

Professor Luo used his special power again. In his vision, different Undead were depicted in different colors. The weakest ones were gray, while the stronger ones were red.

Professor Luo soon discovered a bright crimson red figure among the Undead.

She was standing on an overhead walkway. The Undead had piled up over four meters high under the walkway.

‘The buildings nearby were hung with strong Undead bearing long sharp claws. They were mostly Commander-level and Ruler-level creatures. Their numbers were simply terrifying.

‘The woman’s face was as pale as a blank paper. There was not the slightest color of blood on it.

Her eyes were dark and hollow. Her red eye bags and black wrinkles further set off her devilish eyes.

“She’s over there. Are we going down?” Professor Luo asked worriedly.

‘The Headquarters of several had been were taken by the Undead. Human Mages were no longer standing on them. They were occupied by the Rulers of the sea monsters instead.

‘These Rulers were strong enough to destroy a city when they were alive. They had grown stronger under the influence of a mysterious power after they turned into Undead, as if their power was enhanced by a dark energy!

“Let’s go down,” Dean Xiao said.

“They are watching us. I’ll cast a spell to prevent the Undead from hurting us temporarily, but it won’t last for long,” Professor Luo could feel the Rulers of the sea monsters glaring at them.

“Sure!”

CREATORS’ THOUGHTS

‘Yeah, getting that triple strength boost from being sea monsters all that time, and the undead stuff on top… pretty damn strong, I’d say.
