Chapter 11: Level Four Monster—Aberration!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A rain of arrows tore through the night sky.

The skeleton undead were hit by the arrows and turned into bones on the ground.

Under the onslaught of the eight towers, the number of monsters decreased.

The last water elemental arrow was released.

The surroundings fell silent. Everything fell into silence.

Pierce’s gaze was heavy as he looked deep into the woods.

The forest stretched as far as the eye could see, and the boundaries could not be seen with the vision given by the moonlight.

Pierce had no idea how large the aberration was, nor did he know when it would charge out of the ambush.

“Can’t do anything else. There is no way I can set up any more traps.”

“It is all up to fate now.”

Pierce then turned to look at the griffin.

To be precise, this griffin was his last line of defense.

Five hundred skeletons scattered on the ground were reduced to a pile of white powder under the rules of the Tower Defense, and were scattered by the wind.

Pierce felt sick. A gentle breeze blew against his cheek, but it chilled him.

Being targeted by a level four creature like this would make anyone feel uncomfortable.

In front of the city, some torches flickered with weak light, allowing him to see the situation within a hundred meters.

But after 100 meters, it was as if the entire world had fallen into darkness, as if there was a barrier.

He opened the chat while waiting.

[Country X: Vienna]: No, there are no monsters here!

[Country G: Zenus]: Yes, brother, are you mistaken?

[Blossoms Country: Miyamura Kun]: What’s wrong? What terrifying creature? It’s just… What the F*ck!!!

[Country L: Sikr]: What happened to your Blossoms Country??

[Country X: Vienna]: It’s just some skeleton soldiers. Is it that hard to fight?

[Country X: Vienna]: ??? What kind of monster is this?

…

Following the cries of the Blossoms Country’s participants, the participants from the various countries fell silent.

Pierce understood what had happened.

Level 4 aberration! It had begun to take action.

Roar!

Suddenly, a loud roar broke the silence of the forest. The silent night fell into chaos again.

“It’s here!”

Pierce focused on the forest.

Dust flew in the forest as countless trees fell to the ground, creating a loud boom.

In the dark night, a huge figure was moving.

‘I see you.’

Pierce adjusted the arrow towers to the center of the wall.

The griffin flying beside him also let loose a faint cry.

The water elemental arrow towers and fire elemental arrow towers, which had originally stopped working, were now frantically attacking.

The monster was extremely fast.

Countless elemental arrows were fired, but only a few landed on its body.

The flames turned into steam and dispersed in the air.

A while later.

Following a low roar, the monster’s shout came from afar.

Bang bang bang!

Heavy footsteps sounded in the distance. It was a humanoid creature.

The tall body was covered in rotting flesh. To Pierce’s amazement, the creature had four arms and two heads.

Green blood was flowing out of the wounds caused by the fire and water elemental arrows.

At this moment, a notification from the Tower Defense system appeared.

[Aberration]

[Level: 4]

[Remarks: When you meet them, don’t think of running away, because they are much more quick than you. Oh right, don’t let them near you!]

This aberration’s massive body was filled with all sorts of strange patterns, and its face was ugly.

The sight was quite chilling.

Whoosh!

The elemental arrows, which had been prepared beforehand, pierced through the air.

They charged straight towards the monster’s face.

“Grr… Human… Die!!”

The monster held onto an arrow that was charging towards it, but the other seven arrows all landed on its body.

Pierce was shocked again.

Did this monster speak just now?

It has intelligence!?

Pierce looked at the aberration in the distance with a solemn expression.

A level 4 creature. This was a creature that only existed in imaginations. He did not expect that it would actually appear before him now.

Furthermore, it was quite intelligent.

Did that mean that level 9 creatures had inhuman intelligence?

Pierce shook his head to clear the miscellaneous thoughts.

These were not things he should be thinking about. His main goal now was to get rid of this monster.

The fire elemental arrows were crushed by the aberration, turning into sparks that filled the sky.

Pierce couldn’t help but take a step back.

The griffin suddenly flew out and attacked.

Its small body and fierce claws left deep scratches on the aberration’s body.

Green blood spurted onto the empty ground.

At this moment, the aberration was dodging the arrows flying at it, while also avoiding the griffin that was coming to harass it.

The aberration was extremely fast, completely incompatible with its massive body.

Finally, thanks to the griffin’s harassment, the sharp arrows pierced its body without any resistance. Green, sticky blood spurted in the air.

The damage from the arrow towers was very high, but the aberration’s vitality was even more tenacious.

The people in the broadcast room were all dumbfounded.

“F*ck, a new monster I’ve never seen before!”

“This is already at the level of a level 4 monster, right? So many arrow towers can’t kill him!”

“Stop talking, stop talking. The Country F next door has already fallen because of this thing. A hundred people were unable to stop this thing’s attack.”

“Country F, then their capital must be filled with such monsters!”

“It’s a good thing we’re far away from their country. This is really scary…”

“Country G is also using fire arrows! Country M and Country G have been friends for generations!”

“Let’s not talk about this for now. Speaking of which, is our army ready?”

“It looks like Pierce won’t be able to hold on much longer!”

A rain of arrows had just arrived when the next rain of arrows was released, forming an indestructible protective net near the city.

The aberration which was now deeper in the range of the arrow towers was now filled with countless arrows.

Puchi…

The griffin relied on its agile body to successfully pierce one of the aberration’s eyes.

It kept on roaring, but in the end, it looked like a candle in the wind to Pierce.

Its life was coming to an end.

The aberration charged forward fearlessly, but what greeted it was a sky full of elemental arrows that were so fast that they left afterimages…
