Chapter 264 Tower?

"A tower?"

"How could there be a tower here?"

Everyone in Stone Forest Town stared in disbelief at the obelisk that had suddenly appeared.

The enormous tower was several hundred meters tall. Even Tier 4 Legendary monsters seemed like children before it, completely dominating what was once the Zero Wing Guild Residence.

The moment the obelisk appeared, fear and coldness seized the hearts of all the players in Stone Forest Town.

The sky had become overcast at some point, and in the blink of an eye, elemental rain began to fall, causing the entire town to become shrouded in mist.

"This is... elemental manifestation!"

The magic-based players, familiar with magic elements, immediately recognized the true nature of the mist within the town, and they were all incredibly excited.

Their minds were clearer than ever before, as if struck by a flash of inspiration. Their thoughts were uncommonly clear, as if they were looking down on a two-dimensional world from a three-dimensional one.

With such a high concentration of magic power, the speed of improvement would undoubtedly increase by leaps and bounds if they fought, PKed, and trained here.

As the fog grew thicker, Abandoned Wave, Myriad Worlds As One, Lonely Burial, and the others felt no excitement. Above Stone Forest Town, a quintuple magic array had appeared, engulfing the entire town.

The mere appearance of the quintuple magic array caused a shudder in the soul with the magic power it condensed.

"Not good, this is a trap!" Lonely Burial couldn't help but recall the scene when Zero Wing obtained Stone Forest Town.

Although it had been a long time and the players of the Star-Moon Kingdom didn't pay much attention to it, the major guilds had initially thought it was just a triggered event, allowing Zero Wing Guild to pick up a bargain for nothing.

However, now that he thought of the Star River Alliance's defeat back then, Lonely Burial felt a chill run down his spine.

If that monster were to appear again, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"A trap?" Abandoned Wave wasn't sure at first, but seeing Lonely Burial's somewhat pale face, he became even more certain of his guess. He then looked at Lonely Burial and asked, "Can you tell me what's going on?"

He couldn't bring himself to give up Stone Forest Town, which was almost in his grasp.

He had invested too much to secure Stone Forest Town; there was no turning back.

Since there was no turning back, he had to figure out what kind of trap it was so he could prepare for it.

Myriad Worlds As One on the side was also curious as to what could have frightened the president of Heavenly Burial Guild to such an extent.

"There's no time, it'll be too late if we don't leave now." Lonely Burial casually replied, immediately shouting in the guild's regional channel, "Everyone, evacuate Stone Forest Town immediately!"

But before Lonely Burial could finish giving his orders, a translucent purple barrier formed around Stone Forest Town. The moment it appeared, the monsters fighting outside the town seemed to have seen something terrifying, ignoring the Bandaged Man's commands and turning to flee.

However, the monsters inside the barrier weren't so lucky. Even a Level 66 High Lord desperately attacked the barrier, but it didn't budge an inch.

"It's over, we can't get out!"

Seeing the attacked magic barrier, all the players in the town were instantly filled with terror, their previous joy gone.

Moreover, all the spectating players outside Stone Forest Town could no longer see what was happening inside. From the outside, the entire town seemed to be covered by a large罩子.

"What exactly did Zero Wing do?" Yuan Tiexin stared at the enveloped Stone Forest Town, a sense of shock he couldn't describe in words rising within him.

As a high-ranking member of Heaven's Secret Pavilion, he had learned a lot about God's Domain in his spare time.

He knew the terror of the quintuple magic array!

Even in the Imperial Palace, such a thing was probably nowhere to be seen. It usually only appeared in places of divine迹. Faced with a quintuple magic array, even a Tier 5 peak NPC would have to detour and wouldn't dare to provoke it casually, let alone the current players. Killing them would be as easy as a thought.

Suddenly, Yuan Tiexin felt that the somewhat clear Zero Wing Guild had become blurred again.

...

After the magic barrier completely enveloped Stone Forest Town, batches of elite players and experts poured out from the Zero Wing Residence, their numbers exceeding everyone's imagination.

Before long, their numbers exceeded ten thousand, and it was clear that this wasn't the limit, as they continued to climb.

Ten thousand... twenty thousand... thirty thousand...

To everyone's astonishment, the number of Zero Wing members coming out of the residence reached as high as fifty thousand, and they were all at least guild elites.

"Damn Zero Wing, it really is a trap!" Lonely Burial felt an unspeakable rage as he watched Zero Wing's army of fifty thousand elites emerge.

In terms of numbers, the combined forces of Blackwater, Heavenly Burial, and Pantheon were still superior to Zero Wing, but the gap wasn't as large as before, barely exceeding Zero Wing's forces by a factor of two.

However, these Zero Wing elites had all been enhanced by the magic tower, and their basic attributes were far stronger than their elite members. In a head-on fight, they wouldn't gain any advantage at all.

"Hahaha, look at how scared the Blackwater people are! Before, when we had twenty thousand people fighting against their two hundred thousand monsters and over ten thousand elites, we were badly beaten. Now we have over fifty thousand, while they have less than a hundred thousand. Let's see how arrogant they can be now!"

"How dare they bully us, saying that Zero Wing has no one! We'll keep them守尸 till dawn." (keeping their corpses)

"守尸 is useless. They'll just revive in Seem Town when they die. The best way is to have a healer revive them and then kill them again, preferably爆 all the equipment on their bodies!"

The Zero Wing members who came out of the residence were all fired up, their fighting spirit high as they looked at the Blackwater and Heavenly Burial members.

"Guild Leader, all the elite members who can come have arrived. Give the order!" Blackie looked at the army of fifty thousand elites, a sense of pride surging within him. It was hard to imagine that just a few months ago, Zero Wing was just an insignificant little guild, and now it could compete for the throne of the Star-Moon Kingdom's number one guild. This made Blackie somewhat excited as he said, "Guild Leader, just say the word, and I'll lead the guild's brothers to wipe them out right now!"

"Alright, it's time to let them know how powerful our Zero Wing is." Shi Feng nodded, then loudly commanded, "All troops, listen to my orders! Let no one escape!"

Immediately, the members of Zero Wing Guild charged towards the armies of Blackwater and Heavenly Burial without another word.

The obelisk was the place where the Awakener was sealed. The sealed crystal ball inside it not only had sealing effects but also other abilities, but they were quite troublesome to use.

Just activating the quintuple magic array required eighteen magic crystals. Fortunately, Shi Feng had the alchemic holy object Philosopher's Stone. Moreover, the cooldown time was too long, lasting a full month, while the duration was ten hours.

During this time, Stone Forest Town could only be entered but not exited. Unless the time was up or it was terminated, no player could break through the magic barrier. The white mist within the town would bless friendly players who controlled the town, not only making their minds more calm but also greatly improving the completion of their skills. On the other hand, the five senses of those from opposing forces would gradually decline, especially the visibility.

And if players' vision was too short, they would easily be ambushed and fall into a passive position.

As soon as the battle began, the members of Blackwater Guild and Heavenly Burial Guild were attacked by various ranged players. When they tried to counterattack, they couldn't find anyone and could only passively take the hits.

With just the first wave of attacks, Blackwater and Heavenly Burial Guild lost over a thousand elites.

Faced with Zero Wing's elite members, even the expert players of Blackwater and Heavenly Burial found it much more difficult to deal with them individually, let alone the guild elites.

No one expected that the battle situation would be completely one-sided.

In less than fifteen minutes, the members of Blackwater and Heavenly Burial Guild had died by the tens of thousands, while Zero Wing had only lost a few hundred people. And the lives of these few hundred people were exchanged for the lives of the experts from the two major guilds...

Abandoned Wave looked at the constantly dying Blackwater members and took a deep look at Shi Feng, who was commanding the battle. Reluctantly, he said in the guild's regional channel, "We... retreat!"

They had been defeated!

It could be said to be a crushing defeat. He never expected that the plan he had put so much effort into would end up like this.
