YM778.TV Chapter 769 - The Tower
"Bang!"
The moment the pregnant monster appeared in the world, it caused a terrifying explosive bang.
She wasn\'t satisfied with what Arthur did, and she didn\'t hesitate in unleashing all her frustration on all the enemies around.
And frankly things here weren\'t fair. This monster was on a whole new level for those folks. They didn\'t stand a chance, and even those freakishly strong elites faced a hard time escaping with their lives intact.
\'She is angry,\' Gege returned to him, \'but she will comply.\'
Arthur sneered, "That\'s good."
He turned his eyes around, "let her finish those weaklings and catch up to me fast."
He didn\'t stand there anymore. Doaf and Amera already led everyone else to the front, moving with their top speed towards the front.
Every mile they crossed now was made thanks to Arthur\'s plan. The moment that monster appeared in the world they were all shocked.
This was the first time for them to see this monster. They didn\'t know how Arthur got his hands over such a terrifying monster, yet they were pleased it was on their side.
And when Arthur started to run after them they realized they didn\'t need to worry about the large number of enemies behind. They just kept running, and only after half an hour new enemies started to show up coming from the front.
But their numbers were much fewer than them. Plus most of them were weak. They didn\'t pose any threat to Doaf and Amera. The two just left the mechas and the forces led by the werewolf to crush them while they kept running away without fighting.
As Arthur told them before, their role from now on was to only lead and not fight. Arthur\'s words came true, especially when they didn\'t have any strong forces to bother them.
No matter how many lycans came to stop them, they were all killed swiftly by the combined forces of the mechas and the werewolf mages.
Things started to look much easier and simpler to them. They just had to run while the explosions coming from the back kept rising with time.
That monster Arthur released was running amok among their enemies. For them that was great news and in time they saw no one following them behind except for Arthur.
As for Arthur, he just maintained his speed to make sure the monster was still in his sight. He wasn\'t worried about it getting lost, but he was just taking his precaution.
He knew his enemy was treacherous, a cunning one that had many tricks he didn\'t know about. So his presence this near to the monster was just an insurance.
He didn\'t want his biggest weapon to be nurfed by his enemies without noticing it.
After running like this for three hours, Gege finally returned with good news.
\'The tree finally can see the main force working on that artifact,\' she said.
"And?" Arthur demanded for more.
\'It\'s not that good or bad,\' Gege hesitated for a moment before adding, \'they are using a strange artifact that looked like a tower. It\'s twenty stories high and looks intimidating.\'
"Hmm… A tower you say?" Arthur didn\'t know how towers worked in this world, but in his past life he knew many things about towers.
They were artifacts crafted mainly for the purpose of training. They had levels and they allowed cultivators to enter them and train.
Each tower in his past life was time based, enjoyed the privilege of manipulating time inside. Very rare towers were used to fight, and those were mainly small in size, looking like scepters or thick rods.
"Describe what they are doing there for me," he said in an attempt to know more about what was lying ahead.
\'They send people inside,\' Gege said, \'and there are many surrounding the tower doing some sort of ceremony. The sky above flashes with golden lightning from time to time. Other than this there is nothing worthy to mention.\'
Arthur didn\'t get anything useful from her words except for that ceremony. "So they are trying to activate its offensive power… but those entering it… That looks suspicious," he couldn\'t link the dots together yet.
For the training towers it was normal for mages to enter and train, and for the offensive one it was normal to do some sort of ceremony to activate it.
However having both at the same time seemed unrealistic at this point. "Something is missing," he couldn\'t help but mutter.
\'Is there any drawings over the surface of the tower?\' suddenly the golden dragon asked. His question alerted Arthur to one fact he missed. If there was anyone here knowing anything about this tower then it would be the golden dragon without doubt.
"Do you know anything about it?" Arthur hurriedly asked, "what is it used for? Why are they sending people in?"
\'I can\'t tell without seeing it,\' the golden dragon said, \'but I have a clue or two about the reason for making people enter there and also about the use of that tower.\'
"And?" Arthur was feeling quite impatient right now.
\'They are used as sacrifice at best,\' the golden dragon said, \'I believe it\'s a magical energy accumulating artifact, one who uses the power inside each mage sent inside to gather an immense form of energy.\'
"Damn!" Arthur\'s eyes got wide open, "so they are trying to gather enough power to crush that shield with… That makes a lot of sense now."
\'But this is just my speculation,\' the golden dragon added, \'we need to wait until I see it or Gege gives me more intel about it.\'
\'I\'ll see if there are any drawings there,\' Gege said.
\'Ding! Is it an original artifact?\' the system suddenly asked.
\'Well, you can say anything unusual in our world is an original artifact,\' the golden dragon confirmed, \'including that tower of course.\'
\'Ding! That means spiritual energy can work against it, right?\'
Arthur\'s eyes shone brightly when he heard that. "Is it true?" he hurriedly asked.
