Chapter 603: Self-Destruction
“Rumble, rumble…”
The enormous Quasi-Boss Golem on the small hill did not launch attacks on the players personally but instead used its earth energy to “throw” the remaining half of the normal golems.
From the point of view of the players, it looked like it was a sky where a bright moon hung, it was as if a few large black “moons” appeared after.
“Quick, Heavy Armored Warriors, block them! Earth Manipulators, ignore the front, place your attention on top… Water Manipulators, Fire Manipulators… split up in teams of two and attack!” Frontline Command commanded the players, despite the loudhailer, he was overwhelmed by the cries after being buried by the giant rocks.
That piece of hundred meter-long “fortification” had no meaning under these circ.u.mstances, as the rolling stones were flying directly from the sky.
Those giant rocks, which flew further than a meter with their weight measured in tons, had nothing that was capable to be able to intercept them in the sky.
Perhaps, the homing missiles in the machines were capable of doing so, but the machine’s controller did not have such quick reaction timing.
Most importantly, the four machines did not have a lot of homing missiles. Being an expensive consumable, it was impossible for them to use on these common, Elite Level creatures.
It was a pity that despite Frontline Command’s leaders.h.i.+p being reliable and stable, the people who were able to adapt were not many.
One after the other, the Golems were thrown by the Quasi-Boss onto the player’s base, leaving the original set-up formations destroyed and devastated. Due to the enormous power from these rolling stones, those who were hit directly needed to resp.a.w.n, and even if they were not hit directly, they would lose half of their lives just by the slightest hit.
Only after a few seconds, the battleground already had quite a number of the white lights of death.
This scene made Feng Luo inevitably think back to the enormous rocks thrown by the catapults from the city defenders during the Ancient Siege, or even the solid bullet from the Hongyi Cannon. More accurately put, it was not a solid bullet, but a shotgun bullet.
Although the defensive formation was dispersed, the players still had their techniques, relying on the control spells by the Manipulators and the “Immovable Mountain” by the Heavy Armored Warriors defending with their s.h.i.+elds. After paying a huge price, they were able to hold against these rolling enormous rocks, preventing them from continuously crus.h.i.+ng people.
However, being unable to crush people, this did not mean that it was unable to continue to kill people after these rolling stones were blocked by the players or the environment and losing their mobility.
What came after, was something all the players were not able to imagine.
“Kacha!”
A piece of Level 55 Elite rolling stone was completely stopped and suddenly had a crack on its st.u.r.dy rocky surface, similar to those rocks which were crushed after pa.s.sing through the heavy fire and ice. However, what was different was that within the cracks of these rocks, there was blurred yellow light revealing from within. Following that, there was an energy movement charging inside.
“No good, these rocky creatures are going to…” Before screams of the scouts of the team ended…
“Rumble, rumble, rumble!”
One after another, the enormous rolling stones landed into the bases of the players with ground-shaking impacts, as it followed its cracks and shattered into smaller pieces.
As for what was different from the previous impacted pieces, the shattered pieces from the automatic self-destruction had irregular sizes of shattered pieces, however, they were all st.u.r.dy pieces. Additionally, under the power of the fierce self-explosion, it launched those pieces towards the surrounding players with speed comparable to bullets.
“Platter, platter, platter…”
Pieces with sizes ranging from as small as a fist till as large as a human head impacted the players who were unable to hide in time.
In an instant, there were a few more white lights of death appearing on the battleground.
Even for those Heavy Armor Warriors wearing equipment which boosts their health points, if they were in the parameters of several small pieces of the self-destructing golems towards them, their health points will collapse in an instant as well.
In the first three bases, Storm City’s death count did not exceed 30. However, at the fourth base, in the period of a few minutes, the death count was nearing this number.
Most importantly, with the self-destruction and the constant rolling stones being thrown from the Quasi-Boss repeatedly, the player’s formation has been completely devastated to the point of regeneration, they could only work in their respective smaller teams as the formation.
“Pui… Pui…”
“What is this? They actually self-destruct?” Big Pineapple said with a dull face as he spat out the mud which came from a self-destructed golem nearby.
Even with his defense attribute, with his s.h.i.+eld blocking the self-destruction by this Level 60 Elite Level Golem, his life points still dropped by around 4000.
In this game with these explosive types of attacks, as it is a little rogue, its common power is still greater than the strongest moves by creatures with similar levels. Like the self-destructing beetle that should not be looked down on it having any other attacking moves apart from its self-destruction power, as it is able to destroy creatures of similar levels.
However, with Big Pineapple blocking at the front, their small team was not reduced at all from this explosion.
It was only when…
“Quick, hinder it! Everyone, be careful, focus on dodging!” Frontline Command’s originally calm voice suddenly became hurried, even the two commands that he gave were very contradicting.
Although many teams were relying on their fighter cla.s.s to block the separate self-destructions from the common golems, on the opposite hill the Quasi-Boss which was throwing his subordinates was starting to roll.
“What the f*ck!” Not only Frontline Commander, but all other players’ faces changed.
Forget about all these Common and Elite Level Golems self-destructing, self-destruction by the Level 60 Quasi-Boss that, in theory, would not be inferior compared to a real Boss’ area ultimate.
However, at this moment, you can tell the real personalities of the players partic.i.p.ating in this wastelands.
Although some were hurried, they were not panicking to the point that they were mindless. Even under the circ.u.mstances of having the threat of the Common Golem’s impact and self-destruction, many Manipulators did not regard the danger that they were in and still created the fortifications against the Quasi-Boss in the front.
“Rumble, rumble…”
The energy mud walls started to rise from beneath the hill, as there was fiery energy starting to ablaze.
Other than that, additional bullets and spells were cast towards the Quasi-Boss’ body.
“Whoosh, whoosh…”
“Bang, bang, bang…”
“-334, -346…”
“-12, -33, -104…”
The sky filled with spells caused the night sky to be colored with several colors. However, the damage done upon the hits, against the 6 million health points of the Quasi-Boss, did not have much meaning.
The Quasi-Boss’ physical defense and elemental resistance were definitely more disgusting than its’ subordinates. Before breaking his first layer which was lined up with super thick stones, there was no way to inflict any damage.
The only hope was the fortification raised at that hundred-meter area at the base of the hill.
Even if this Quasi-Boss was so strong in its defenses, its body was still made out of rocks, which meant that a series of heavy fire and ice would be able to weaken it a little, right?
