Manga World: Bringing Steam Technology to the World of Sanctuary

Chapter 87: Shocking Tower



"CATCH THEM, BRING THEM TO ME!!!" 

 

*rumble* 

 

*nhanhanhanhanhanha* 

 

*truks* *truks* *truks* 

 

More and more creatures came out of collapsed houses and places shrouded in the darkness of night. 

 

This time the final boss was approaching, so there were no more creatures to hold back. 

 

Unlike before, now the creatures came from all over the city of Tristan and not only from the main road. 

 

The wasps weren't going to help with a wide line of attack. 

 

But Christel was already prepared for this. 

 

"Roxene, Shikha, you guys go for Shocking's tower. Fenrir, large area attack, crowd control!" 

 

Christel ordered the two youngest girls in both groups, and yelled at Fenrir who was ravaging a group of skeletons with his bear claws and miss. 

 

"Girl, if I leave the bear form, don't open who can resist the attack of that approaching big one!" 

 

The Druid in the form of a bear replied with a strong and thick voice, it is strange that words come from the snout of an animal, but everyone present has seen him speak even in the form of a crow, so they are not very surprised. 

 

"With that type of Creature you don't fight head-on. It can only be distracted, for now it's better to clean up all the creatures or we'll be flooded!" 

 

As Fenrir gave up his bear form, he left his location and ran back to the ranged attack area. 

 

Then, with his nature magic, Fenrir began to conjure gales and tornadoes. 

 

The winds and whirlwinds of air began to keep the enemies at a distance, slowing their advance. 

 

But the strong airflow also caused the arcing Rogues to miss their shots. Less than one. 

 

"Moreina, you keep up your attack on Griswold. Alysha, take care of the little fish that escape the net, and stay behind this line of arrows..." 

 

When Christel said the latter, she shot several real wooden arrows forming an arc on the ground. 

 

"Sister Christel, we have the car with the Shocking tower!" 

 

Roxene and Shikha arrived at Christel's side with the bull's cart pulled. Then they untied the bull and took it back to the other cart. 

 

"Jaina, please use your ice arrows to create a slippery path, so that the wagon can advance to that point... 

 

Christel said to Jaina and then turned around to touch certain levers and buttons. 

 

The Impact Tower, or as Christel calls it, Shocking. It is an area attack tower, very useful for clearing hordes of undead in the world of They Are Billions. 

 

Attack enemies near the tower with a large pulse of electrical energy. The impact tower is practically an ordinary Tesla tower, but with something that the Tesla tower does not have, a battery. Or more precisely, a large capacitor. 

 

In the world of They Are Billions, in its technological tree, a piece of electronics made of crystalline materials and special metal alloys has been created. 

 

A large sphere at the top of the tower stores a large amount of energy in an electromagnetic field. 

 

It has its own Tesla engine, but it can also receive power from other nearby Tesla towers, thus reducing the charging time on each attack. 

 

It is actually very useful in clearing large amounts of enemies, but, as the 360-degree discriminated attack is wide, the damage is greatly reduced, so it can only annihilate weak enemies, and stronger enemies require two or more on-hit attacks. 

 

Although she won't do anything to Griswold, Christel knows that being surrounded by enemies can cause an accident to arise and the ship capsizes in the gutter. 

 

After so many years, with the passage of hell that Diablo left open, this city must be completely occupied by beings from hell. So Christel brought this prototype toy. 

 

Moreina has been seeing all this, after seeing the Wasps brought by Christel, seeing this large tower, like 3 Wasps, one on top of the other high. 

 

She wanted to come over and ask, but by keeping Griswold's advance, she kept her busy. 

 

Next to Griswold were also other beings that were more powerful than the previous enemies, if this were a game, Christel would see their names with golden letters, which are creatures -Unique- 

 

But with Moreina's attacks and the twins' shots using the Wasps, the poor unique creatures also fall. 

 

"GHHUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAA!!" 

 

The increasingly enraged Griswold is approaching step by step, neither Moreina's arrows, and Fenrir's gale, nor the wasps' projectiles, can have it in its entirety. 

 

"Don't waste any more bullets on that big, fat guy. Fenrir, Shira, come back!!" 

 

Griswold and the creatures, such as skeletons with swords and shields, Fallen, zombies, and hellish goats were already halfway there. 

 

At this point, everyone was feeling exhausted, and it was almost midnight. Darkness surrounded the entire area. 

 

"GRRRR" 

 

"GRWWWWW" 

 

"UUHHHG" 

 

Various sounds came from the surroundings in the darkness. Hints that other enemies were approaching, perhaps called by Griswold, perhaps by the noise of combat. 

 

But Christel knew that if more enemies came, the situation would get out of control. 

 

Closing his eyes, he expanded his spiritual perception to the limit. In the distance, he saw that they were running. 

 

Spiny rodents, Wendigo beasts, wolves, and other creatures. All with bloody eyes rushing to a banquet. 

 

Because of the distance, they will be there in less than ten minutes. 

 

Christel looked at the analog meters on the impact tower and saw that it was ready to work. 

 

With the help of telekinesis, Christel pushed the wagon down the ice path created by Jaina's arrows. 

 

"Okay, it's time for the demons to see the strength of human technology and the power of electricity!" 

 

Everyone, hearing Christel's voice and watching the wagon run down the ice road. They decided to step back a bit from the front line, after seeing the power of the Wasp weapon, they don't want to be near that new thing. 

 

Looking at the wheels that move like skates, and help the cart slide all over the ice course at a rapid speed. They kept their eyes on the golden tower and the crystal sphere at the top. 

 

They could see how, from time to time, arcs of electricity appeared around the crystal sphere, a sign that it contained powerful energy inside. 

 

And just like a capacitor, when given a signal, it will release all its energy to fulfill its purpose. 

 

The wagon with the impact tower came to the front of the creatures crushing some and pushing others. 

 

But with the number of enemies, the wagon's strength weakened and in the end it stopped a few meters from Griswold. 

 

Griswold, who was no longer under attack from Moreina and the twins, quickened his pace and prepared to strike the wagon and whatever it carried. 

 

But the impact tower had other plans. 

 

"Everyone! Close your eyes" 

 

Even with the noise, Christel's voice was clearly heard in everyone's mind, so they instantly closed their eyes. 

 

And even with their eyes closed, they could see a glow that lasted for an instant, along with a muffling sound, and the characteristic sound of electricity. 

 

But the one who took the full hit was Griswold and his leading creatures around him, along with hundreds of infernal creatures. All within a radius of 300 meters, it was converted to coal by electric power after the light explosion. 

 

When everyone opened their eyes, they were shocked to see the area of damage. All but Griswold were annihilated within a radius of more than 500 meters, reaching and overcoming the curved line that Christel had marked earlier with wooden arrows. 

 

Even now, arcs of electricity could be seen advancing into the earth, and bodies of the creatures failing and goats writhing. 

 

"GUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!" 

 

Griswold, very angry, punched the wagon, knocking it over. As a test product, in reality, the impact tower was semi-destroyed. The glass sphere was broken and the structure was fragmented into parts. 

 

The impact of the instantaneous discharge of the energy stored in the glass sphere exceeded the resistance of the materials. Christel will need to pick it up and bring it back for study. 

 

But Shocking's tower aside, Christel surveyed the entire field. He knows that, in the world of They Are Billions, the Shocking Towers have a 10-kilometer attack area to the front, leaving humanity's last city to be protected by more than 20 of these towers. 

 

But with this small tower, the attack eliminated ninety percent of the enemies, only leaving those farthest from the tower and Griswold himself. 

 

The girls can now face these few enemies, and those who come running in the dark. 

 

But Griswold, it's the hard draw that needs to be dealt with. 

 

"... Girl... It's good that you thought you would capture me and not eliminate me, I thank heaven and hell for just using some stones that make you dizzy and take away your vision..." 

 

"hahaha~ Sister Moreina, you have to accept that I need to use dozens of those stones... But this big, fat guy, he doesn't seem to be affected by the electric shock, he's going to be hard to deal with." 

 

"I can be a bear again..." 

 

"No, Fenrir, your defense as a bear is good, but you saw that guy's fist, it's a blunt impact that pierces the superior defense and annihilates the inside..." 

 

"Little Christel is right. Fenrir, his punches are very special." 

 

Shinra said, as an assassin, you don't notice her unless she speaks or lets herself be seen on her own initiative, she is now behind Christel, but, although she doesn't show it on her face, she is also amazed by the effect of that electric attack, no matter how good you are at hiding, such an indiscriminate attack can take her out and eliminate her in an instant. 

 

As an assassin, she also knows about how to dodge defense so that her attacks are effective against the enemy, although her abilities have to do with piercing, she knows very well that crushing is one of the effective attacks against beings with high defense. 

 

No matter how much you train and grow your muscles, the internal organs cannot be trained! 

 

"We can only use skills that cushion blows" 

 

Christel let go of her bow, and conjured two bone swords. He has been using these swords since he learned the spell of summoning creature teeth or bones. Although he doesn't know what creature it is, the swords are strong and sharp, so he hasn't changed the summoning so far. 

 

"OH NO!, Christel I won't let you fight head-on against such a being..." 

 

Shira quickly shook his head and grabbed Christel's shoulders from behind. 

 

"Christel..." 

 

"Girl, that's dangerous..." 

 

"..." 

 

"Okay, wait, let me go, I didn't say I would fight head-on. But since no one here specializes in tanking, only Shira and I can fight with agility. The only effective arrows are Moreina's, but, even so, that guy repels them all with his fists and arms. 

 

So only those who use ice can slow down their movements. Fenrir can also fight in wolf form or use nature spells and ravens. 

 

Besides, there are still other creatures that come from the darkness, some are going to have to fight Griswold..." 

 

Then, without waiting for an answer, since she knows that they will still refuse, Christel disappeared from Shira's hands, lowering her body into the ground with the help of her mud golem, Christel ran towards Griswold 

 

*Sound of bones* 

 

*Sound of drafts* 

 

Around Christel, some bones appeared, surrounding him like a ring. Also air currents swirled in circles, and a transparent shield appeared as a bubble. 

 

Christel cast protection spells from the different classes, Mana Shield, Cyclone Armor, Frost Armor, Bone Armor. 

 

So, before arriving in Griswold, Christel cast Solar Creeper, the most powerful in the vine talent tree. 

 

Enveloping not only Griswold, but also growing on the corpses that were lying all over the ground. 

 

Solar Creeper help Christel maintain her mana by absorbing it from all non-elemental creatures. With so many shields, the mana consumption is great. 

 

"Hia!" 

 

Then Christel jumped at an angle, dodged Griswold's fist attack and with her bone-cut swords at her side. 

 

Christel's first melee combat has just begun.
