Chapter 164: Disappear
Its speed was extrely fast, so fast that on the security cara, all that remained was a blurry streak of light trailing across the ice-covered ground.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
But that cha didn’t stop.
Morie stared intently at the screen, her fingers lightly tapping on the armrest of her chair. Her jade-green eyes didn’t blink even once.
On the screen, besides that cha, countless defense towers of other Survivors were also firing frantically.
Arrows as black as shadows pierced through the curtain of snow.
Even on so higher floors, several lightning-type defense towers began to discharge. Each blue-white bolt of lightning whipped down to the ground, striking the group of ice Goblins and causing them to let out ear-piercing shrieks.
But no matter how dense the firepower was, it was all being blocked at the outer line.
Each ti defense tower projectiles or energy rounds from the cha collided with those shields, they only created small cracks that were quickly frozen solid again by the surrounding cold air.
"It’s not just defense." Morie softly replied: "It’s discipline."
Morie still stared at the screen, continuing: "Those ice Golems aren’t just standing there blocking blows. They’re constantly adjusting their positions, taking turns absorbing damage, protecting the catapults and the rear line as well."
"That’s an army."
Outside, that cha seed to have also realized this.
As soon as that sword left its sheath, the blade ignited with a layer of dark red light, like tal heated to its extre limit.
The cha accelerated once more. Its heavy body charged forward with an extrely agile posture, then leaped high into the air.
BANG!!!
But almost at that very mont, three other ice Golems had already charged forward.
One swung an ice mace down from above.
The cha twisted its body in mid-air. The greatsword swept horizontally, knocking aside the incoming ice shield, then lowered its center of gravity, using its shoulder to et the third Golem’s charge head-on.
The ground cracked.
The cha slid over ten ters before barely managing to stand steady, its two legs plowing two deep black trenches into the ground.
"Mm." Morie nodded lightly: "But not enough."
They were being continuously loaded by small ice Goblins.
The cha had clearly seen them as well.
One slash.
Three slashes!
But each ti it advanced a few steps, more ice Golems would move in to fill the empty positions.
The cha could kill, could slash, could destroy, but it couldn’t break through.
And at this mont, those thirty ters were like an insurmountable chasm.
Elith clenched her fists: "It could still push a little longer."
As soon as she finished speaking, on the screen, the ice surface on both sides of the ice Golem formation suddenly burst apart.
Their bodies were twice the size of ordinary wolves, their entire bodies covered in a layer of fur white as cold steel. Their four clawed paws left long trails of frost on the ground as they stepped.
They spread out to both sides, then circled behind the cha with a terrifying speed.
Morie instead wore a faint smile: "No, it’s reasonable."
The cha raised its sword to et the blow.
An ear-piercing sound rang out. Sparks and ice fragnts scattered in all directions.
Crack!
The cha staggered.
"AGH!!! Help! Save that cha!"
"Shut up!" Elith frowned and shouted.
Outside, the cha had been dragged down onto one knee.
Ice maces.
Fists made of hardened ice.
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
Its left shoulder section caved in.
The remaining ice Wolves took advantage of that opportunity to bite and tear furiously. Pieces of tal were ripped out of its body by them like a pack of wild beasts tearing apart its prey.
Black oil and shattered components scattered all over the ice surface.
Even Morie’s eyes narrowed slightly.
In the mont of being pressed to the extre limit, the energy core in its chest suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
A ring of electric light exploded around its body, blasting the two nearest ice Wolves away.
BAM!!!
That cha used its still-intact right arm to swing the greatsword, slashing off half the head of an ice Wolf that had just lunged toward it, then turned tail and fled toward the apartnt complex.
The ice Wolves were different. They pursued very closely.
Another one sunk its fangs into the already cracked calf, ripping out a large chunk of tal.
But in the end, it still managed to escape.
Fire shells, explosive rounds, and magical arrows rained down, forcing the ice Wolves to retreat.
Elith let out a long breath: "Luckily, it’s still alive."
"The Ice Tribe’s formation is still intact."
The ice Goblins resud loading ammunition.
The ice Wolves spread out to both sides, silently crouching low like assassins awaiting orders.
"They’re even more frightening than that army of Skeletons from before." Elith said in a low voice.
"They know pain, they know how to calculate, they know how to learn from experience, and they also know how to use terrain, weather, and even psychology to kill their enemies."
BOOM!!!
Then a second.
The massive ice blocks, trailing ear-piercing howls of wind, streaked across the gloomy sky and then slamd toward the apartnt complex.
The exterior of the building was quickly covered by layer upon layer of white ice.
The cries on the general chat channel increased again.
She set the coffee cup down, tilted her head to look at the screen, then said to Elith: "Do you know what the most annoying thing about the Ice Tribe is?"
Morie frowned, but paid no attention to her, only continuing: "It’s that they are very patient."
"They’ll use the cold to weaken you first. When your limbs stiffen, when your building is frozen, when you start to lose patience or panic..."
Hearing this, Elith felt a sudden chill in her heart.
Morie looked toward the screen, the corners of her mouth slowly curling up.
"I’m waiting for the best mont."
The ice Goblins began to leave the catapults.
The ice Wolves on the two flanks also slowly lowered their bodies, their muscles taut as if about to burst.
Elith’s eyes widened: "They... are starting to move."
"Are you all fools?! Hurry up and shoot!"
The smile on her lips vanished.
"Alright..." She softly said.
Morie’s pale, slender fingers twitched slightly.
Its purple-black eyes locked onto the Ice Tribe’s formation in the distance.
Small bolts of electricity began to crawl along its body, from its scales, wings, all the way to the tips of its horns.
The immature cry from before disappeared.
Elith swallowed dryly.
Thunder Dragon opened its mouth.
Morie softly said: "Disappear."
A massive bolt of lightning shot out.
Wherever it passed, the ground exploded.
The air itself was scorched, forming distorted waves of heat.
The ice Wolves on the two flanks were struck by the electric current. Their entire bodies cracked open, then exploded into countless fragnts of ice and pale blue blood.
Their ice shields shattered like thin paper.
A wide area in front of the apartnt complex was leveled in the blink of an eye.
No more front line or rear line.
All that remained was the scorched black ground, rising wisps of steam, and countless pieces of ice lting into streams of cold water mixed with ash and dust.
The ice monsters were silent.
Even Sunako opened her mouth, unable to speak a single word.
A long while later, she finally managed to turn her head with difficulty to look at Morie.
She took a sip, then said in an extrely calm tone:
