"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Facing this formidable thunder protection net, this group of demon guards had no qualms, brandishing their long spears to parry the incoming arrows and charged forward with roars of anger.

Seeing this, players were filled with admiration, "What a formidable and valiant troop!"

The NPC team created by the system was certainly extraordinary...

However.

After expending a tremendous effort and suffering dozens of casualties, the demon guards finally reached the front of the thunder protection net. But before they could launch an attack, the unexpected happened. The sky above became shrouded in dark clouds, and bolts of sky thunder struck down, hammering into the demon guards’ ranks and inflicting massive damage.

That wasn’t all; suddenly, rolling flames sprang up from the ground, enveloping the guard units in thick fire that made it as difficult for them to move as if they were in a swamp. Combined with the high-frequency shooting from the two skeleton archers, in no time at all, hundreds of demon guards were killed.

All of a sudden,

a majestic mountain reappeared, thundering down with lightning speed, crushing the unfortunate and pitiful demon guards beneath it, causing another burst of massive damage.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

The two skeleton archers showed no mercy, raining down arrows, finishing off the demon guards who, after enduring successive devastations, not one could hold out until the end, and all fell before the Thunder Protection Shield.

Ironically,

until the very end, none of these demon guards even managed to touch the protective shield before they were all wiped out.

"Hiss..."

Players gaped at this scene, suddenly feeling a chill down their spines and breaking out in goosebumps. Thank goodness they hadn’t stupidly rushed forward, or they would have become aggrieved spirits...

"How has this territory’s defense become so fierce? Even this demon guard troop couldn’t last for a moment, are you kidding me?"

"Could it be that the territory owner has been playing possum until now, only to reveal all their strength at this moment? If that’s the case, this person’s scheming is far too deep!" free𝑤ebnovel.com

"Whatever the case, these NPCs have done us a service, triggering all these Crowd Techniques. They won’t reappear for a short while."

"What are we waiting for then, charge!"

No time to waste, the players were instantly filled with fighting spirit, organizing themselves spontaneously to surge forward. Lacking the demon guards’ ability to knock away arrows, under the skeleton archers’ fierce onslaught, scores of players fell in no time.

"Brothers, once we cross this hurdle, there won’t be much threat left. Push forward, destroy this damned protective shield, and take out those annoying skeleton archers!"

"Cut the crap, I’ll believe that when I see it. Do you think those Guardian BOSSes are here for nothing? If it weren’t for demons joining our side, I wouldn’t risk it!"

"Stop arguing, we’ve come this far, let’s break through the protection shield first!"

With their numbers alone, these thousands of players far outnumbered the demon guards, leading to the skeleton archers’ attacks being too dispersed. Under the players’ numerical advantage, they quickly reached the edge of the Thunder Protection Shield.

"Attack! Tear this flimsy barrier apart!"

No one knew who shouted that order, but all the players launched their attacks, unleashing their stimulated moves at the protective net all at once.

"Everyone get out of the way!"

A voice suddenly exploded in midair, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, scaring everyone to the point their hearts skipped a beat. They instinctively stopped their attacks and turned to look behind them. Just one glance was enough to send a shiver down their spines, and in a panic, they scrambled to flee to one side.

They saw a powerful demon swooping in from the sky, his body shrouded in a layer of black light, tearing through the resisting air like a cannonball and striking the Thunder Protection Shield with a ferocious impact force.

Facing such a terrifying offensive, players felt their hearts palpitate and instinctively took cover far away, fearing they might get caught in the crossfire. At the same time, they began to feel sympathy for the owner of this territory, who had the misfortune of provoking such a formidable demon. They could only wait for the inevitable bad luck!

The players’ breathing grew rapid as they could easily imagine the scene that would follow. Under such an intense assault, the Thunder Protection Shield would surely shatter on the spot, and even the two Skeleton Archers wouldn’t be a match for the demon, likely to be easily slaughtered. This was the grand entrance befitting a demon boss!

However.

Everyone present had underestimated the Thunder Protection Shield. After all, at the core of the Guardian Thunder Tower was one of the ancient ten great beads, the Heavenly Thunder Bead! With the Heavenly Thunder Bead’s enhancement, the Thunder Protection Shield’s defensive power was not just slightly stronger; this essentially meant that the demon’s plan was doomed to fail.

"Boom!!!"

A huge explosion resounded as the demon’s fierce onslaught hit the Thunder Protection Shield. But not only did the shield not shatter, it actually fired back a thick bolt of lightning, rebounding the attack and sending the demon flying.

In a miserable state, the demon tumbled through the air for two and a half rotations before he managed to dispel the rebounding force, almost spraining his waist.

"Hiss..."

"It actually rebounded more than 2000 damage. This Thunder Protection Shield’s damage reflection is almost 50%, right?"

"That’s pretty vicious. If a high-attack, low-health boss came along, it might just get taken down by this protection shield!"

As the players expressed their awe, the two Skeleton Archers didn’t pause; they took advantage of the lull to claim the lives of a dozen people. However, this loss was barely noticeable in the face of the thousands present.

"Pat."

Thwarted in the initial bout, the demon landed on the ground with a darkened face, not uttering a word. He strode over to the Thunder Protection Shield and without any hesitation, slammed his fist into it. The bone-piercing electric current from the rebound covered his fist. With a deep frown, the demon continued to pound the shield, and within a few seconds, the Thunder Protection Shield could no longer withstand the barrage and shattered on the spot.

"Damn it!"

Seeing the two Skeleton Archers daring to attack him, the demon cursed out loud, his black wings flapping violently as he charged at incredible speed towards the archers. Under his brutal assault, piles of scattered bone remains soon lay at the gateway.

"Undead Skeletons, come out to me!"

With no more barriers in his way, the demon stepped boldly into the village, shouting angrily. The sound rolled out, dust rose, and even the window lattices rattled ominously.

Taking advantage of the situation, the players also rushed into Skeleton Village, yet they refrained from making any rash moves. They all knew the village housed several guardian bosses, and once the powerful demon cleared all the obstacles, the time would come for the territory to change hands!
