Chapter 76

Time did not give Su Yu much room for deep thought.

The Void Beast moved,

its dragon-claw-like massive paw slamming down toward Su Yu's territory.

If that strike landed solidly,

the buildings and the Lord's Crystal in Su Yu's territory would be utterly wiped out.

Su Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, gazing at the massive palm pressing down very slowly,

entering the range of the Arrow Defense Towers.

Suddenly,

180 Arrow Defense Towers, 25 Ice Arrow Defense Towers, and 25 Cannon Launchers opened fire in unison!

The air vibrated; the sound waves made the transplanted trees in the territory rustle.

A farmer opened his eyes in confusion, rolled over, and continued sleeping.

"Boom—Boom—Boom—Boom—!"

Though they were merely individual arrows striking the pressing-down massive claw,

they produced a sound as if cannonballs were bombarding it!

Instantly, the pressing-down massive claw was driven back.

Along with this, the entire form of the Void Beast retreated upward by several hundred meters.

It was only because its 20,000-meter-long body,

made this retreat nearly imperceptible, like a massive body shrinking slightly.

But Su Yu noticed it.

"So it's just a show-off after all."

He couldn't help but chuckle, a slight smile curling his lips.

The Void Beast, driven back by more than two hundred defense towers,

was strangely enraged.

How could such tiny Arrow Defense Towers possess such power?

It poured all its strength into its dragon-shaped massive claw,

and this time, the speed of the downward press increased slightly.

However,

"Boom—Boom—Boom—Boom—!"

The defense towers' firepower was deafening.

Su Yu's territory, with its 250 buildings,

under the blessing of the Mythical Grade talent, saw its attributes boosted by a full 14.5 times!

Although their level was only 5, compared to defense towers over level 30, they were in no way inferior.

The doubling of attack power, the manifestation of strength, could be described as exponential growth!

Not to mention the sheer number reached 230,

a level 20 Void Beast, even of Mythical Grade,

would find it difficult to force its way down against such a multitude of attacks.

Reluctantly, it withdrew its massive claw and let out a roar.

"Roar—!"

All the defense towers that had just attacked it simultaneously lost 200 hit points!

This single strike was enough to instantly kill a large group of level 15 Arrow Defense Towers!

However, the Arrow Defense Towers in Su Yu's territory, under the blessing of the Mythical Grade talent, had hit points as high as 725!

So, the Void Beast, seeing not a single defense tower fall, widened its eyes.

Anger appeared in its pair of purple eyes.

Its body began to shrink at an extremely rapid speed.

Its bear-like physique became slender.

Its body armor scales became sharp.

In the blink of an eye, that huge Void Beast shrank to 3 meters tall.

For some reason, looking at the shrunken Void Beast,

high in the sky, where it was barely visible, almost becoming a tiny black dot,

Su Yu, inexplicably, felt pressure.

Pressure from its aura.

This was the Void Beast's true form.

They were accustomed to enlarging their bodies to display their power.

Greatness and smallness usually symbolize strength.

Mass, tonnage, and so on, are all inseparable from volume.

The vastness of the celestial stars and the smallness of sand grains at one's fingertips,

are like the difference between clouds and mud.

Small life forms, contemplating those vast existences, will always lament their own insignificance, even feeling fear.

Therefore, the Void Beast race uses the illusion of vastness against enemies.

Unless an enemy's strength is sufficient to pose a threat to them,

Only then do they reveal their true forms.

At this moment, the Void Beast sensed a threat from Su Yu's territory.

This is the true form of the Calamity.

"Life-Chasing Soul-Stealing Arrow"!!

The instant it revealed its true form, Sylph released the arrow she had been charging for so long.

Whoosh—!

A streak of light tore through the sky, soaring straight toward the clouds; just as it seemed about to strike the Void Beast,

its dragon-shaped claw gently pressed downward.

The green arrow halted three inches from its palm.

Sylph's pupils contracted slightly, yet her entire body was suddenly blasted backward.

As elven blood sprinkled through the air, Su Yu clenched his fists.

"Be careful! It has the ability to reflect damage!!" Su Yu shouted.

Earlier, when all the defense towers lost 200 health points, he had formed this guess.

Now that Sylph was injured, he made his judgment on the spot.

This is the true Calamity, not a mere illusory shadow.
