Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 512 - 467: The Great Battle (5)

The cries of battle spread across the entire area from the battlefield.

Endless points of blue light floated toward the white mist in the sky.

A thick layer of dust had already covered the ground.

Enormous colorful stars inexplicably appeared in the sky and crashed down on the soldiers piled together below.

All the soldiers hit burst like piñatas filled with streamers, shattering apart.

The chunks and blood residue from their bodies transformed into festive streamers, spraying out and becoming part of the dust on the ground.

After casting this skill, Lilu Lu had no choice but to retreat to the city wall.

"Lilu Lu is exhausted." Lilu Lu murmured to herself, then took out a Mana Potion and drank it down.

Feeling the depleted magic power in her body rapidly recovering, Lilu Lu took a few shallow breaths and prepared to rise and continue the assault on the enemy troops below the city wall.

Lilu Lu was responsible for the fortress’s rear wall, tasked with attacking enemy troops on this side, where the long-range forces were much fewer compared to other sides, but there were many big, robust fools. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

And all the soldiers Lilu Lu led were Mages.

Various fireballs, ice arrows, and arcane missiles flew downward.

Although these Mages were intermediate units, their offensive methods were very limited.

It was just the same few skills over and over, lacking novelty or distinction.

However, mingled among these attacks were some extremely fast colorful stars, which dragged rainbow trails and quickly struck one enemy after another.

Each hit could take down an enemy soldier.

When looking closely at these Mages’ outfits, they differed from the typical Mages dressed around them.

Ordinary Mages wore long robes in red and white, with pieces of light armor covering the important areas of their upper bodies.

But these Mages’ magic robes had color schemes shifted to pink and white, with some gorgeous patterns embroidered on them.

Their magic staffs had shifted from being wooden or steel to resembling giant, vividly-colored candy canes.

Holding what seemed like giant lollipops in their hands.

This attire needed no further explanation—it was clearly the result of complete fairy tale elemental immersion by Lilu Lu.

They had entirely transformed into Fairy Tale Mages.

For those Mages who had not been fully transformed, their red robes started to fade, and patterns appeared on the clothes.

If you didn’t look carefully, you wouldn’t notice anything different on the surface.

It was exactly because of the addition of these Mages in pink and white robes that defending the rear was somewhat easier than in other directions.

So far, not a single soldier had climbed the rear walls, while some soldiers had already mounted the walls in other directions, to various extents.

But the situation here was not optimistic either.

Even while resting, Lilu Lu constantly observed the entire situation.

In a few minutes, enemy troops might climb the walls.

Luckily, her Mage unit was stationed at the rear, with countless close combat soldiers guarding their safety up front.

Even if they climbed up, it wouldn’t pose too much of a threat to their safety, but once soldiers began to climb up, safety would be at risk.

Moreover, these ordinary soldiers could not be relied upon too heavily.

No other way, it must be done, Lilu Lu thought.

Then, a gigantic rainbow-colored Teleportation Gate opened beside her.

An eagle with a silver energy presence flew out.

He was clad in a white flight suit and wore an aviation cap on his head.

He flew directly to the front of Lilu Lu, his wings saluting in a way no ordinary eagle could.

"Air Force Captain reporting to the Queen!"

Lilu Lu nodded, and a Candy Crown appeared on her head at an unknown time.

"Lead your unit to attack all enemies wearing blue and white armor."

"Yes!"

The eagle cried out an eagle screech and soared into the sky, and various birds flew out from the Teleportation Gate behind him.

These birds came in various sizes and breeds, including many magic beast types and some captured on Sky Islands at the World Restaurant.

Without exception, they all wore white flight suits and had aviation caps on their heads.

They hovered above the enemy troops, their claws gathering candy-like objects and dropping them down.

The soldiers besieging the city felt something hit their heads suddenly, just in time to catch it with their hands.

Candy?

The soldier looked at the beautifully wrapped candy in his hand, suddenly becoming puzzled.

"Bang!"

A huge explosion sounded, and the explosion effect turned out to be colorful smoke, with colorful confetti bursting out from the sides.

When the smoke cleared, the soldier was already lying on the ground, both hands severed and missing.

Although it didn’t kill him instantly, he’d lost the ability to fight. If the candy bomb had exploded on his head or other critical points, it would have been a certain death blow.

And in the sky, the birds continued to gather similar candies in their claws, dropping them down repeatedly.

Some were extremely sensitive and exploded the moment they were touched.

The sensitivity of these Candy Bombs varied depending on each bird’s level of control.

If Kane were here, he would be able to tell that these Candy Bombs were actually designed by him for Lilu Lu.

A long time ago, Lilu Lu had asked him for help designing a bomb, one that should look pretty on the outside.

Moreover, the bomb had to be purely energy-based, meaning it could be created through magic, like a skill.

Thus, Kane had crafted such a Candy Bomb for her.

The sensitivity is extremely high, and it usually explodes upon impact, composed purely of mana, with the explosive power increasing as more magic power is input.

Furthermore, its internal structure is extremely simple, making it very easy to master.

I didn’t expect this skill to actually be prepared for these bird-like aerial forces.

With the help of this group of bombing chickens, the momentum of the siege was slowed down again.

The most pressured of the four walls is the left side.

Because none of Kane’s team is responsible for defending there, instead, it is entirely handed over to the Lantern Knight Order and several generals.

Longbei and Meizike’s troops are also conducting coordinated defense here.

But after all, they don’t have the high combat power like Kane and his team, so their defense is relatively strenuous.

Even though this direction was bombarded by Kane right after the battle began.

However, due to the infrequent use of magic shields in this direction, they are at least able to hold the defense without it turning into a one-sided situation.

Bonona, leading a large group of long-range shooters behind her, launched a volley of arrows.

The long-range shooters led by Bonona had their attacks enhanced. Even ordinary shooters had arrows imbued with blue wind elemental magic.

Moreover, with Bonona’s precise timing of every assault, each barrage of arrows became the enemy’s most painful moment.

Bonona slightly crouched and then jumped, her figure leaping to a height of seven or eight meters.

From her bow, an energy arrow formed out of thin air, tightly entwined with wind elements.

"Whiz!"

This arrow was incredibly fast.

In a flash, it pierced the mage-general in the back who was continuously manipulating magic against them.

The mage’s magic shield was directly penetrated by the arrow, which then continued to retain its power, piercing his body and going through several soldiers behind, before finally being exhausted.

A huge hole appeared on the mage’s body, and he staggered and fell to the ground, turning into ashes.

Hmm, how could this strike be so powerful?

Bonona was a bit puzzled, as she didn’t think this arrow could cause such exaggerated damage.

She seemed to realize something, looking at the green guild seal on her shoulder.

A Deadly Strike was triggered.

The current phase of the Deadly Strike was upgraded to Level 2 just a few days ago by Kane.

Every attack now has a 20% chance to deal 160% damage.

This upgrade cost Kane 3 Silver Magic Stones.

And the enhancement of the three attributes requires a Golden Magic Stone each.

It seems the enhancement of these three attributes won’t be improved for a long time.

At this time, more soldiers attempted to climb the city wall using the siege ladder.

However, as soon as they reached the wall, they were knocked down by a wooden limb.

That wooden limb belonged to a giant tree-man about six or seven meters tall.

The roots at its feet were entrenched on the wall, and any enemy attempting to climb into its guarded area would be mercilessly knocked down by its wooden body.

There are four such tree-men along the entire segment of the wall.

Their summoners were two Minotaurs with brown fur on the wall, their bodies entwined with vines. Several small flowers bloomed on the vines, adorning their bodies beautifully.

In their hands, they held a flower-laden vine wooden staff.

These two were Ironhoof’s younger brothers, two Druids.

While summoning tree-men to guard the walls, they also kept using healing magic on some soldiers.

On the wall, besides the tree-men, there were also three fire elements throwing fireballs down.

And a giant wooden totem provided enhancement effects to all friendly forces nearby.

Their summoner was that white-furred Minotaur, who was Ironhoof’s sister.

She was a Minotaur Shaman Priest.

These three siblings all belonged to Riluru’s generals, also responsible for defending this wall.

However, even so, soldiers still managed to climb onto the wall continuously, after all, they didn’t have high combat power.

The fire element tree-men can only provide limited defense and cannot deal decisive blows.

By now, a constant stream of soldiers scaled the walls. Apart from the Lantern Knight Order and a few high-level troops, the rest had little means of counterattack and even holding them back became a luxury.

Ordinary soldiers were falling in droves.

"Holy Light! Descend!"

A light fell on the wall, revitalizing exhausted soldiers and instantly healing minor injuries.

The caster of this holy light was Finaris, riding Cotton Candy, passing overhead just then.

This holy light magic significantly relieved the pressure on the wall, allowing them to kill the soldiers who managed to climb up.

"Boom!"

A loud noise came from below.

The less capable long-range attacking Lantern Knight Order members had been waiting below for some time.

They engaged in melee with the enemy troops charging through the breach in the wall.

Following this loud noise, the number of soldiers climbing the wall significantly decreased.

Bonona immediately shouted, "Crossbowmen, turn around and attack the soldiers coming in from the rear."

The left wall had no gate, but the heavy wall had a massive breach punched through by siege engines.

The enemy troops were madly pouring into the fortress through this breach.

Like a chain reaction, other gates or walls were also breached one by one.

Despite a day of defense, the fortress eventually fell.
