As Shi Feng's words fell over Silver Wing Town, a massive world phantom descended from the sky above the settlement. Not only did it drastically reduce the might of every Sacred Sculpture monster, but their base stats also plummeted visibly. The deathly silent battlefield was instantly swept by a wave of shock and turmoil.
"Strong! Way too strong! Is this what Zero Wing is like?"
"Five Sacred Sculpture Devourers attacking together couldn't break the magic barrier before—not even a single crack appeared. Now that everything's been weakened across the board, those Sacred Sculpture monsters probably can't do a thing against the magic barrier anytime soon."
The terror and overwhelming power of the Sacred Sculpture army had already driven everyone to the brink of despair. Yet who could have imagined that Zero Wing had been hiding such a formidable defensive magic formation? Even the peak strike of five Sacred Sculpture Devourers hadn't budged it in the slightest.
As long as the defensive magic formation held, the Sacred Sculpture army wouldn't be able to touch a single player. And if they could hold out until the formation finished recharging, Silver Wing Town would establish a perfect attrition cycle—one the Sacred Sculpture army would have no choice but to abandon the siege over.
"What incredible defense! That has to rival the defensive magic formation of a mid-tier city, doesn't it?"
At that moment, not only the onlookers, but even Huan Yu and Bu Mie Zhan Xin stared at the utterly unscathed magic barrier, unable to conceal the astonishment in their eyes.
The ambient mana had already been thinned considerably by the Soul-Extinction Hex of Six Layers, which should have weakened the town's defensive formation significantly. Yet it had still withstood the combined strike of five Sacred Sculpture Devourers without yielding. A small town's defensive magic formation accomplishing something like this was simply unheard of.
Now that the world projection was deployed, the Sacred Sculpture Devourers shattering the magic barrier was nothing but a pipe dream.
"Arrogant!" Qian Yan's brow furrowed slightly as he regarded the composed Shi Feng. "All you did was block a single combined strike from the Sacred Sculpture Devourers. The defensive formation's energy is finite—under the Sacred Sculpture army's assault, let's see how long you can keep up this bravado!"
In the Divine Realm, magic formations required an energy supply to operate. Even if each individual attack didn't reach the formation's tolerance limit, every strike still consumed energy.
With the Sacred Sculpture army's numbers and strength, they could breach the defensive formations of even a capital city's NPC settlement. Even weakened by a magic domain, it was far more than what a small guild town's defensive formation could withstand.
Before Qian Yan had even finished speaking, the five Sacred Sculpture Devourers launched another coordinated assault on the magic barrier. At the same time, the Sacred Sculpture army beyond also began their barrage. Over ten thousand Sacred Sculpture Destroyers surrounding Silver Wing Town opened fire on the barrier overhead with a relentless bombardment.
Boom, boom, boom...
Explosions echoed endlessly through the sky above Silver Wing Town, as though heaven and earth themselves were shaking.
"We can't keep this up! We have to find a way to stop the Sacred Sculpture army's offensive, or the defensive formation's energy won't last long." Bu Mie Zhan Xin watched the flickering barrier overhead and spoke with urgency.
The weakened Sacred Sculpture army might not match the raw destructive power the five Sacred Sculpture Devourers had shown earlier, but they more than made up for it in sheer numbers. In terms of pure energy drain on the formation, they far surpassed even the five Devourers at their peak.
"I have a summoning magic formation on my end that can call forth two Legendary monsters. Combined with the siege weapons, we should be able to stall the offensive at the main gate," Huan Yu offered proactively.
"We can also summon two. With four Legendary monsters, we should be able to completely neutralize the pressure at the main gate. That would free up more Tier 3 experts to reinforce the other positions. As long as we can keep those five Sacred Sculpture Devourers occupied, we should be able to barely hold Silver Wing Town." Bu Mie Zhan Xin pondered for a moment before speaking.
Against the weakened Sacred Sculpture Devourers, Tier 3 players might not stand a chance, but blocking High Great Lord-level Sacred Sculpture Destroyers was well within their reach. At the very least, an ordinary Tier 3 expert could hold their own without being completely helpless.
Just as Bu Mie Zhan Xin and Huan Yu reached a consensus, a crisp, melodious voice reached both their ears.
"No need to waste your Tier 4 summoning scrolls. Leave the rest to us."
At the sound of that voice, Bu Mie Zhan Xin and Huan Yu couldn't help but turn toward its source, their eyes full of surprise and puzzlement.
