Chapter 432: Merely to Draw Them Out

Hunter's Full-Time Record, Volume 1, Chapter 436: Merely to Draw Them Out. Boom—rumble~~~~~ Zzzzt~~~~~

The sound of thunder continued to reverberate endlessly in people's ears; beneath the city walls, every second saw the life of a magical beast stripped away amidst the roaring lightning, blood having converged into a river of gore, while the pungent stench of blood barbarously rushed into everyone's nostrils without consent, stimulating every nerve within.

However, the power of the lightning did not halt the subsequent magical beasts' charge; indeed, provoked by the scent of blood, these beasts grew even more frenzied, accelerating their rush toward the walls of Lya Weisi City.

"Magic Legion, attack indiscriminately," Luo Luo Sifu commanded once again.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~~ Zzzzt~~~~~ Clang clang clang~~~~~ Pfft pfft pfft~~~~~

Following Luo Luo Sifu's order, fluctuations of various elemental magics began to flash continuously, and spells of different colors constantly manifested within these magical undulations.

Lei Ting, fireballs, wind blades, wind spirals, hurricanes, meteors, earth spikes, ice shards~~~~~~~

Countless spells erupted wildly from hues of every color, howling as they crashed onto the ground.

After the lava cannons and lightning magic orbs, the destructive power of magic once again reaped the lives of magical beasts.

Hundreds of magical beasts were harvested anew under magic's annihilating force; after several waves of attacks, one-third of the beast horde had been slain.

"Damn it, I will kill you all!" Pi Pi Xisi had not expected Lya Weisi City's preparations to be so formidable; before even reaching the city walls, he had already lost one-third of his forces, and now he was utterly enraged.

Pi Pi Xisi produced a crystal stone exuding a repulsive aura; then, after a moment's hesitation, he crushed the stone, his face twisted with the pain of parting with something precious.

As Pi Pi Xisi crushed that crystal, thick black smoke gushed forth from within it like a volcanic eruption, this mist carrying the same deeply loathsome aura as the crystal had previously emitted.

Yet once these black mists dispersed, they enveloped all the remaining magical beasts beneath Lya Weisi City.

And when the remaining beasts were shrouded in this black fog, within the mist, waves of immensely frenzied yet utterly repulsive auras continuously erupted.

Subsequently, figures wreathed in black fog shot out from the dense mist at extreme speed, charging toward Lya Weisi City; in the blink of an eye, they had already reached the foot of its walls.

Boom—rumble~~~~~~ The frenzied magical beasts, as if having found an outlet for their rage, either madly rammed into the walls of Lya Weisi City or swung massive fists and palms, continuously pounding against them.

Meanwhile, in the sky above, countless flying magical beasts flapped their wings, constantly swooping down toward the airspace over Lya Weisi City.

In an instant, after three rounds of defensive assaults, the beast horde finally breached Lya Weisi City, and the city itself began to be engulfed by the flames of war.

"Activate the defensive formation!" Seeing that magical beasts had already broken into Lya Weisi City, Luo Luo Sifu immediately issued the command, then produced a token identical to the one Lei Ting Lya Weisi used to control the city's defensive array.

He then directly injected his spiritual energy into the token.

As Luo Luo Sifu poured his spiritual energy in, the token in his hand began to glow, and lines of formation light emerged; a small-scale array manifested upon the token.

Once the formation on the token took shape, lines of array light also began to illuminate atop the walls of Lya Weisi City; in an instant, a large-scale formation coalesced upon the ramparts, whereupon a massive energy shield appeared, covering all of Lya Weisi City and protecting it.

Boom—rumble~~~~

The sounds of impacts and bombardments merged into one continuous roar, yet this time the collisions differed greatly from before, for now most strikes landed upon Lya Weisi City's defensive formation, and predominantly from the flying magical beasts.

Since these flying beasts moved swiftly and their physical bodies were generally weaker than those of ground-based magical beasts, many, upon colliding with the defensive array, were knocked dizzy and disoriented, losing their ability to fly and plummeting straight down.

Some even crashed to their deaths directly against the defensive formation before falling.

"Still not making your move?" Seeing Lya Weisi City's defensive array rise and witnessing his beast minions suffering heavy losses within it, Pi Pi Xisi immediately shouted loudly toward the interior of the city.

Boom—rumble~~~~~~

Following Pi Pi Xisi's shout, violent explosions suddenly erupted within Lya Weisi City; individuals clad in mechanical armaments began attacking indiscriminately, targeting both the Lord's Manor and the four cardinal directions of the city.

More precisely, they attacked the four arrays positioned at the east, west, south, and north, along with the great array at the Lord's Manor.

These five arrays—east, west, south, north, and the Lord's Manor—were in fact the formation nodes of Lya Weisi City's defensive barrier; if these five nodes were breached, the city's defensive formation would collapse without further assault.

"Old thief Master Liancheng, as expected, it is you! You ingrate, you backstabbing cur! The City Lord treated you generously, yet you collude with outsiders to betray us!" At the eastern array of Lya Weisi City, Luo Luo Sifu's furious rebuke rang out.

But to Luo Luo Sifu's tirade, Master Liancheng's expression remained utterly unchanged; he snorted coldly and said, "Hmph~~~ Lei Ting Lya Weisi is nothing but a hypocrite. I came to Lya Weisi City brimming with passion, hoping to learn the secrets of its mechanical armament techniques, yet Lei Ting Lya Weisi treated me as mere labor, making me repair the city walls while falsely claiming it was to let me practice. Hehe~~~"

Speaking thus, Master Liancheng snorted again and continued, "Ten years—I slaved for him for a full ten years; is that not enough? Why, even now, has he never allowed me access to the core secrets of mechanical armaments? Hmph, he merely wished to use me as a laborer."

By the end of his words, Master Liancheng was clearly enraged to the extreme.

And rightly so; if anyone were treated as a laborer for ten years, they too would be furious.

Whoosh~~~~~ Boom~~~~~

Yet just as Master Liancheng was about to speak further, a figure suddenly plummeted from the starry sky above Lya Weisi City like a meteor from beyond the heavens, crashing heavily onto the city's defensive formation and sending countless ripples surging through it.

"Hmph~~~ A greedy, self-deluded cur, harboring treasonous thoughts, yet actually believing I exploited you as a laborer? Hehehe, the arrays for my mechanical armaments lie right upon the walls of this city; I gave you ten years, yet you failed to grasp even the slightest hint of them. To think you could obtain the secrets of mechanical armaments through rebellion despite your incompetence—truly laughable."

"Hmph~~~~ Did you truly believe you hid yourself well? Let me tell you: three years ago, the moment you made contact with that perennial runner-up dog, Pi Pi Xisi, I had already discovered it. The reason I did not act against you sooner was merely to draw them out."
