Chapter 269 - Versatile, Jack Of All Trades And The Versatile Battle Mage (VIII) (2/2)
”He is right, Lucia-sama. Even though it looks disadvantageous to us, it's not a bad thing and we even managed to survive until round 35 without upgrading. Now that we have additional firepower and our defense is much better than before, we have now a good chance to reach wave 60 with a higher rate,” Atlas said.
”Atlas is right. And besides, once we fight against the hordes once again, we will earn another bunch of Horde Coins once again. It's not a bad thing and we can just use the earned coins to upgrade towers as soon as we got the right amount to upgrade them.”
...
Since it is just 30 minutes before the first wave will arrive, we decided to rest for a bit and eat food before the next wave begins. It was a short rest and once the timer hits zero, the wave begins and we heard the goblins start to roar in the distance.
”Position everyone!”
We are quick at responding to our respective areas and before we can even arrive, we already saw a lot of dead bodies in the distance.
”Wha? Is this due to the Towers I installed?”
I opened the interface and check the Attack Tower's range and I was surprised since the previous range which was just the circular area around the tower, now extends towards the hill in the distance. It was a very wide range in level 8. So what if I upgrade it further to its max level? Will it get farther and stronger it can kill stronger enemies in one blow? I don't know, but it was worth trying once I get enough coins. Who knows, we might be able to reach the lair of the Foreign Being and use the towers to give additional damage to the bastard.
As for the enemies, I didn't have to do anything since before they could reach the usual area, they fell over and died. They can't even get the wall and die far from us which is kind of new.
The first wave ended without a hitch and the hobgoblin that was supposed to be the first challenge didn't even get to reach a few kilometers to the base. The Attack towers rained the green guy with arrows, killing him in the process.
...
Due to the unexpected outcome, the battles in the process were much easier compared to when we are fighting without a tower and wooden walls. Due to that, our progress was immediately effortless. We rarely have anything to do due to the tower doing all of the damage. Even if they get near, the Freeze Towers are slowing them down and before they can escape the Freeze Tower's debuff and assault, the Attack towers will immediately finish them all off.
It didn't take us too long to finish and get to wave 60 and finish it off. It was effortless.
...
”Alright, we have at least 7 hours to complete the final boss before wave 61 hits. Are you guys ready to hit the road and beat the slimy bastard as soon as we can?” I asked everyone.
”Yeah!”
”Then, we should prepare well. We only have one shot and if we lose in this one, we are obviously going to restart to the very beginning once more and we cannot do that since we will have to start over again and this time, minus the money. So we can't afford to do that unless you guys really want to keep staying here. Our only option here is to win, nothing more, nothing less. And remember, no one will die under my watch. If anyone of you guys ever dare to do the ”sacrifice for the sake of the people” move on me I will not bother to recognize it. Everyone should survive.
With the help of Leona, we didn't have to walk back all the way and just fly straight to the lair of the Foreign Being. It was convenient and we saved enough time.
”Is that the lair you guys are talking about, Master?” Goro then pointed out the broken cavern and a mass of wriggling abomination.
”Yuck...what the heck is that?” Lucia was disgusted by the sight of the Foreign Being. Even though we are far from the lair, we can already hear the wriggling noise the tentacles make, making Lucia cringe in disgust.
”Yep, now that I am seeing it personally, confirmed, this needed to be killed as soon as possible! As the Demon Princess, we have to destroy this ugly thing and erase it to the face of the planet!”
