Chapter 92: Chapter92-World Tree in Crisis, the Human Army Comes to Reinforce

At that moment, in Zone 5.

The players who were grinding monsters and leveling up were all stunned.

"What’s going on? Why did a ruin suddenly appear?"

"So the ruin in our zone is the World Tree?"

"Wait, why did the Treant King die ahead of time?

Could John have killed it?"

"No need to think about it. It must be John. He’s always one step ahead of all of us.

The most urgent thing now is to hurry over and support him. After all, John may be the only one there right now.

We absolutely can’t let John face that many dwarves and giants all by himself!"

After realizing that John might be in danger, no one dared to delay. They immediately rushed toward the location of the World Tree.

However, the World Tree ruin was located in the barren lands.

There were basically no monsters or dungeons nearby.

For a time, these players simply could not get there in time.

However, perhaps because this mission involved the safety of all human main cities, before the players could arrive, the various main cities had actually joined forces and activated their teleportation arrays, sending the first wave of human troops to the vicinity of the World Tree ruin.

And the one leading this army was none other than the assassin class instructor John had previously met in Eaglecrest City—

Philia!

A flash of white light appeared. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

An army of more than ten thousand human NPCs appeared at the entrance of the World Tree ruin.

Philia wore a long robe, the fierce wind whipping her disheveled hair.

Holding a dagger in her hand, she said coldly, "We absolutely cannot allow the giants and dwarves to succeed. Everyone, heed my command. Advance immediately! Stop them at all costs!"

"Yes!"

Over ten thousand NPCs followed her into the World Tree ruin at the same time!

...

Meanwhile.

Inside the ruin.

John had already split off 999 clones.

He and his clones guarded the wooden staircase with all their might, continuously blocking the dwarf warriors and giant warriors who were trying to break through.

Severed limbs lay everywhere. Blood flowed like rivers. The air was filled with a thick stench of blood.

Squelch!

John casually swung his blade and cleaved the dwarf in front of him into two.

[You have killed Dwarf Warrior Lv.50. EXP +2,000,000, gold coins +50,000, Fame +50,000!]

[You have plundered the A-rank talent: Moon-Chasing Slash!]

As he kept attacking, he observed the endless army of dwarves and giants surging down from the middle-layer space.

With just a casual glance, he could see that the giant and dwarf army behind them seemed endless.

And beyond that crack was a middle-layer space filled with white light.

Vaguely, even more dwarf and giant warriors could be seen wearing armor and rushing over frantically.

At this moment, the enormous wooden pillar that John and his clones were standing on was the foundation supporting the World Tree.

These dwarves and giants wanted to reach the bottom and chop down this foundation.

Once they succeeded, the World Tree would drag down the entire land of Zone 5 with it.

All human main cities would be reduced to ruins.

At that time, it would be a doomsday catastrophe.

Even John’s own Overlord City would probably be affected.

That was why his current position was extremely critical.

If even the slightest gap appeared and a single giant or dwarf managed to rush down, it could very likely cause the entire World Tree to collapse.

Moreover, no one knew how many dwarves and giants had reproduced in the middle-layer space.

Even though John and his clones kept killing them, and the accumulated corpses were almost piled into mountains, they continued to surge forward endlessly.

The dwarves and giants showed no fear whatsoever.

Their eyes were bloodshot, and their speed was terrifying.

Like a dense swarm of locusts, they charged downward with reckless abandon.

Fortunately, John had summoned enough clones.

Otherwise, there was no way he could have stopped an army of this scale.

Boom!

Just then, the crack in the middle-layer space widened even further.

John’s main body instinctively looked over, and his pupils suddenly constricted.

On the edge of the crack, several enormous fingers were gripping the sides tightly.

It was as if they were tearing open the sky itself.

Little by little, they forced the crack wider, causing rumbling explosions to echo out.

"That is... the Giant King!"

As the crack widened, an incomparably ferocious gray-white face emerged.

It was a giant wearing a massive crown and a long robe.

The veins across his body bulged like mountain ranges, and his muscles swelled like the dome of the heavens.

Even from several kilometers away, John could still feel the violent sense of strength radiating from him.

As the Giant King’s entire body gradually emerged, his information panel finally appeared.

[Giant King] Lv.70

[HP]: 20,000,000 / 20,000,000

[Skills]: Wrath of the Titan, Earth Tremor, Seismic Wave...

John was observing the Giant King.

The Giant King also noticed him.

"Get down!"

The Giant King let out a roar that sounded like rolling thunder.

John immediately felt a sharp pain in his eardrums.

The Giant King stomped one foot downward.

However, he was not stepping toward John. Instead, he was preparing to jump directly toward the open ground beside the World Tree’s foundation.

When John saw this, he immediately realized what was happening.

His expression changed. "Not good. With a body that huge, even if I send all my clones to intercept him, I may not be able to stop him.

Unless... I kill him before that happens!"

However, this was not even the worst part.

After the Giant King widened the crack, another figure appeared at its edge.

That figure carried an enormous axe on his back.

The axe made his already short body seem even smaller.

When John saw that figure, his gaze changed.

The information of the short figure also appeared.

[Dwarf King] Lv.70

[HP]: 15,000,000 / 15,000,000

[Skills]: God-Felling Axe Strike, Earth Split, Mountain Collapse...

...

Another BOSS had appeared!

This Dwarf King was clearly much more agile than the Giant King.

The moment he appeared, he immediately jumped down along the crack.

He completely ignored John and charged straight toward the lower area.

Judging by the sharpness of the enormous axe on his back, it probably would not take him long to chop through the entire foundation of the World Tree.

"Damn it. I have to split off some clones to stop them!"

Watching the two BOSSes move one after another toward the World Tree’s foundation, John frowned deeply. He had no choice but to split off some clones to block them.

However.

Once he did that, he would no longer be able to maintain a tight defensive line here.

By then, some dwarf warriors or giant warriors would still slip through the gaps and rush downward.

It was a complete dilemma!

As for his pets and true spirits, without personally controlling them, John did not dare to release them at all.

The Giant King and Dwarf King’s stats were far too powerful.

Even his pets might not be able to withstand the combined assault of these two BOSSes.

"Am I really going to suffer my first Waterloo here?"

For the first time, John felt pressure.

But just then—

A clear, sharp shout suddenly rang out.

"Warrior, go kill those two foreign monsters.

Leave this place to us."

John abruptly turned around.

Only to see the assassin class instructor Philia leading a large number of human warriors up the ladder!
