Johnnie felt imnse pressure. After pulling out of the dark forest passage, an endless wave of monsters poured out from inside.
They were all powerful Stage 5 monsters — Dual Blade Reapers.
He had to split his attention, defending against both the Griffins and the massive army of monsters from the dark forest.
Luckily, the number of Griffins wasn’t too high, and he had already killed most of them.
But the remaining Griffins showed no sign of retreating. Instead, they launched a suicidal attack toward the city altar.
Johnnie glanced toward the dark forest direction, where an endless stream of Dual Blade Reapers was erging.
He hesitated for a mont, but then flew toward the city altar, fully controlling The Technique of Swordsmanship for Controlling Swords, and slaughtering the Griffins in a frenzy.
Flashes of cold light. Blood sprayed through the air. One by one, the Griffins fell from the sky, all of them one-hit kills.
The ground was littered with loot.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion rocked the northern gate.
The Dual Blade Reapers were already destroying the gate.
"Johnnie, need help?" Dylan noticed the situation and asked.
"No, I can handle it!" Johnnie refused imdiately. The other sides of the city were also under heavy pressure; there was no one to send.
He quickly cleared the remaining Griffins around him and rushed toward the northern wall to block the Dual Blade Reapers.
Woo!
The Intent of the Sword vibrated. Void Sword swung wildly. Seven Sword howled, surrounding him as it rapidly cleared the surrounding Dual Blade Reapers.
The threat to the wall was temporarily removed, but an endless stream of Dual Blade Reapers still ca from the dark forest.
They burst out of the dark forest passage and quickly spread out, covering the entire wall.
Johnnie felt even more pressure. His body weaved through the monster horde, leaving a trail of Dual Blade Reaper corpses behind him, trying to prevent these monsters from getting close to the wall.
...
On other sides of the city, countless Stage 3 Dragon monsters and Dark Giant Bears appeared. The soldiers were under extre pressure, and the second line of defense had already fallen. They had retreated to the third line.
Even so, the third line was in severe danger, with the risk of being broken at any mont.
At the city’s resurrection altar, newly revived soldiers quickly picked up the Stage 3 weapons and equipnt that had fallen to the ground and joined the battle imdiately.
"Dylan, we can’t hold the east wall!" Finn urgently asked Dylan for help.
The east wall was being defended by Solaris City guards and Yett Family mbers. They only had a few thousand soldiers, most of them at Stage 2, and they couldn’t withstand the stage 3 Beast Wave. The monsters were already approaching the wall.
"I’ll send reinforcents right away!" Dylan responded, but as he looked down at the brutal battlefield, he felt a bit lost.
Countless monsters were surging in. Soldiers were dying constantly.
Players at Stage 2 and above who died had to wait half an hour to revive. Even though new players were continuously being revived and arriving, they still couldn’t keep up with the massacre by the monster army.
"Hey Dylan, give the one thousand horsen from the southern wall. I’ll stop the Beast Wave on the eastern wall." Liam, full of battle spirit, said, and then jumped off the wall directly.
Such a battle scene made him feel extrely excited. It had been a long ti since he had experienced such a real fight. And in the ga, death wasn’t real death — he had no worries at all.
"Old general, I leave it to you!" Dylan changed his address, and imdiately ordered, "Evan, your group, go support the eastern wall. Rember, do your best to protect the old general’s safety!"
"Yes!" A tall, blood-stained man holding a spear, rushing forward, answered, and imdiately led his group of subordinates to follow Liam and support the eastern wall.
The situation here was even more severe than they had imagined.
Boom boom...
A large number of Dark Giant Bears had already reached the base of the wall, destroying it.
On the wall, archers and mages fired with all their might, but they could not deal effective damage to the Dark Giant Bears, who had high health and thick armor.
Liam looked at the battlefield for a mont, made a quick decision, and said, "Evan, summon your warhorses. Charge with and split the battlefield."
In the ga, knights could ta or buy mounts.
But it was expensive — even a low-grade warhorse cost 100 gold pieces. And if the horse died, it would disappear and couldn’t be revived.
Most knight players didn’t have mounts.
"Can’t do it, old general. You can’t take the risk. Just stay back and command." Evan’s face changed, and he imdiately blocked him.
Charging into the battlefield like this was basically suicide.
"Get out of the way!" Liam kicked him to the ground, summoned a warhorse, took out a thick, heavy sword, and coldly said, "Let’s go, charge!"
"Kill!" A series of roars, a killing atmosphere reaching the sky. This one thousand horsen were the elite of the Second Front. Under Liam’s command, they directly charged into the Beast Wave.
Swords whistled, horses neighed — the one thousand cavalry tore open a gap, pushing deep into the Beast Wave, temporarily stopping the monster attack.
But the soldiers’ strength was limited. Most of these cavalry were Stage 3, and they couldn’t stand up to the Stage 3 Beast Wave.
Thousands of soldiers were instantly swallowed by the Beast Wave, and casualties kept rising.
On the wall, Finn saw this and clenched his fists, imdiately ordering, "Quick, clear out the surrounding Dark Giant Bears and rebuild the defense!"
This was the chance that the cavalry had given them with their lives — they couldn’t let it be in vain.
Finn bit his lip, jumped off the wall, and Anathema Sword howled as he rushed toward the Dark Giant Bears.
The Yett Family mbers and the Solaris City soldiers fought back with all their might. They finally held back the attack from the Beast Wave at the base of the wall and rebuilt the defense.
Dylan sent another five thousand soldiers to support the eastern wall.
The crisis was temporarily over, but the casualties kept rising.
Especially the Solaris City guard — they were native lifeforms of the Universe Continent. Death here was real death.
Vivian watched the fallen soldiers with a sorrowful expression, but she didn’t retreat in the slightest.
"Kill..."
In the Beast Wave, the cries of battle gradually faded.
The one thousand cavalry was completely wiped out, giving the eastern wall a slim chance of survival.
Finn saw this and tightly gripped his sword, anger rising.
Even though death in the ga wasn’t real, this scene deeply affected him.
"All the Yett Family mbers, get to the front!" He coldly ordered, jumped off the wall, and charged toward the rapidly approaching Beast Wave.
The Yett Family mbers didn’t hesitate — they followed right behind.
Cecilia was among them.
"Cecilia, I’ll help you too." Holly imdiately summoned a warhorse, her body surrounded by flas, and joined the battle.
These girls were definitely among the top-tier players. They were Stage 3, and all of them wore equipnt of at least blue rare quality — enough to fight head-on against Stage 3 monsters.
The soldiers had suffered more than half their losses, but fortunately, the third wave of Beast Wave was nearing its end — no more monsters were appearing.
Dylan stood on the wall, directing the battle, silently praying that this was the last Beast Wave.
Now, the soldiers had retreated to the fourth line of defense. If there was a fourth wave, they wouldn’t be able to hold.
...
From the direction of the dark forest, Dual Blade Reapers kept pouring out endlessly.
Thankfully, Johnnie had blocked them inside the dark forest passage, and they couldn’t threaten the city wall.
[Killed a Stage 5, Level 7 Dual Blade Reaper. Gained 28 experience points.]
[Your level has increased to Stage 4, Level 3. Four basic attributes 20, Free attributes 20.]
...
The prompt ssages kept coming. Johnnie’s level had risen to Stage 4, Level 3, and his power had improved slightly.
He didn’t rush to allocate his attribute points. He just kept slaughtering the Dual Blade Reapers in a frenzy.
The damage and attack speed of the Great Transformation Sword Technique had stacked to over 500 tis. His damage had reached a terrifying 600,000. These Dual Blade Reapers couldn’t even survive a single hit.
However, the attack speed had a limit. He could attack no more than ten tis per second — probably limited by the long sword. If he were an archer, he could definitely break through that limit.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t an archer, and archers couldn’t stack the Great Transformation Sword Technique passive.
Roar, roar...
The screams kept coming. This place had turned into a hell of blood and fire. The river of blood ran deep, and the corpses of Dual Blade Reapers piled up like mountains. But they kept coming, fearless and relentless.
This was the terror of the Beast Wave.
If Johnnie wasn’t so strong now, and if the dark forest passage wasn’t blocking them, he wouldn’t have been able to hold off the Beast Wave attack.
[Ding. Slaughtered 100,000 lives. Seven Sword has been upgraded to Stage 3. Attributes improved.]
[Seven Sword: Artifact. Current Stage 3 (Bonded). Can grow; Physical Damage 150, Strength 100, Agility 50, Spirit 50, Attack Speed 10, Critical Hit 10, Life Steal 5%, Lethality 5, Flying Sword Speed 1, Penetration 1]
[Seven kill: Artifact Effect. Great Sword can transform into seven small flying swords.]
[Growth thod: Slaughter. Slay 1,000,000 lives to upgrade to Stage 4.]
The prompt ssages flashed. Johnnie’s Seven Sword had been upgraded to Stage 3, and its attributes had seen a massive boost.
The next upgrade required slaying 1,000,000 lives. That was definitely a cursed killing sword.
Fortunately, it had no level restrictions — any life could be killed.
"By the way, these Dual Blade Reapers are Stage 5 monsters. Void Sword can also be upgraded." he realized. The way to upgrade Void Sword was by killing 100,000 Stage 5 or higher Demonic Creatures.
Previously, to better block the Beast Wave, these Demonic Creatures had almost all been killed by The Technique of Swordsmanship for Controlling Swords.
Now that the Beast Wave was trapped in the dark forest passage, the pressure had lessened, and it was the perfect ti to slaughter these creatures and upgrade Void Sword.
Johnnie used Void Sword techniques and Cosmic Eclipse Blade, and slaughtered the incoming Dual Blade Reapers without rcy.
The Technique of Swordsmanship for Controlling Swords didn’t stop either. The Demonic Creatures in the distance were being slaughtered by the Technique, helping the Seven Sword grow while also increasing the mastery level of the Technique.
[The third wave of Beast Wave attack has ended. The fourth wave will begin in thirty minutes.]
At this mont, a prompt ssage ca in.
There was still a Beast Wave attack?
Johnnie frowned. The third wave of Beast Wave was already Stage 3 monsters, which had exceeded the level of most players.
The fourth wave would certainly be even more terrifying. With the current player strength, they definitely couldn’t hold.
And he could only block the Beast Wave coming from the dark forest — he couldn’t help the other walls.
"This is really a pain in the ass." Johnnie said while fighting, and sent a ssage to Dylan: "Clear the battlefield imdiately. Distribute all the loot from the northern wall and the dark forest passage to the players. Do your best to boost their strength. Make sure they can hold off the fourth wave of Beast Wave attack."
