Just the twenty elemental arrow towers and thirty elemental peashooters were enough to hold the Esper back.
Not to mention that Pierce now had a griffin that had evolved to level 4.
He patted the griffin’s head, hinting it to make a detour.
Griffin understood Pierce’s intention.
It flew high into the air, and avoided the sight of the Esper.
Right now, the Esper’s vision was being disrupted by the exploding fire arrows and water arrows.
Therefore, it did not see the griffin circling around from the sky.
But even if it saw, what could it do?
Pierce had already set the arrow towers’ target to the two feelers on its head.
And now the griffin was going behind it.
Everything was under Pierce’s control.
At this moment, the griffin in the sky followed Pierce’s instructions and activated its skill.
[Waterspout!]
A small whirlpool came from the sky and attacked the Esper.
More and more water elements condensed in the air from the waterspout. In the end, it brought about a storm.
The Esper also realized that something was wrong.
It quickly retreated.
But!
How could it be that easy to escape!?
The completed waterspout was already behind it.
As the rain fell, the Esper was sucked in.
“Die!!”
A strange, shrill voice that was almost human came from the waterspout.
Immediately after, one after the other blade energy sliced through the swirling water walls and shot in all directions.
The tall trees were cut into two, and the hard ground was also cut open.
Even the city walls were covered with scars.
Pierce stood on the wall, not dodging.
With the golden hint, there was no need for him to dodge them one by one.
As the griffin was too young, it could not sustain this skill for too long.
Finally, the waterspout dissipated.
A figure covered in wounds fell to the ground.
The recovery ability of a level 5 creature was very astonishing. In just a blink of an eye, the wounds on its body began to wriggle and recover.
However—
The wounds on its back had not healed.
Blood flowed down its back and onto the ground.
When the waterspout dissipated, Pierce saw a huge blood mist in the rain.
“Roar… roar…”
It spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
The wounds on its back made it ache. Its red compound eyes narrowed.
Creak! Creak!
There was a soft sound.
Pierce controlled a fire elemental arrow tower and aimed at the Esper’s back.
The other arrow towers were the same. Except that they were targeting the feelers.
Whoosh—
BANG!
Fire elemental arrows had the characteristic of explosion.
Sound of bones shattering soon followed.
Dea… dead??
That was it?
The audience was stunned.
Everyone was in a daze.
A beast that looked so powerful was killed just like that?
Is this a joke!?
The other countries had yet to finish their battle.
All the players, except Pierce, were still fighting against the monsters.
At this moment, the participants heard a notification from the Tower Defense world.
Many people were stunned.
[Hell mode has been successfully defended.]
The third round’s Tower Defense Ranking is:
First place: Country M’s Pierce!
Tower Defense Index: 100+, Level S
What!
This kid again!?
Additionally, it was still an S ranking!
Please don’t be ridiculous.
That b*stard must have cheated!
I beg you to quickly ban him!
“F*ck!”
One participant was so angry that he threw his weapon to the ground while there were still several zombies beside him.
Why? Why?…
And on Planet Blue.
The leaders of Country M were instructing and gathering manpower as they waited for new resources to appear.
They were sure. Pierce was definitely a Chosen One.
First place, three times in a row.
At this moment, Country M was making preparations, ignoring the envious people.
The leaders from the other countries also sent their congratulations.
It seemed like they were all trying their best to curry favor with Country M.
What a joke. If there were another hundred times more resources, Country M would definitely be the strongest country in the world.
They could not be blamed for bootlicking.
All the countries had paid a heavy price for resisting this time’s invasion.
Many countries had already lost their cities, and blood flowed like rivers.
There was no such thing as ‘easy’ in the Tower Defense world.
Perhaps it was indeed easier for Pierce.
They’d replayed Pierce’s broadcasts, and understood some things.
The first thing was that the higher the level of a creature, the higher its intelligence. For example, the roar of the Esper today.
The second thing was that Pierce definitely had a secret that no one knew about. It was these secrets that doubled the Tower Defense Survival index.
In the past Tower Defenses, the highest defense was a thousand level three dark zombies.
But now, the level three dark zombies had become the first batch of mobs.
Even the ridiculous level 5 had appeared.
The leaders of these countries had to come even if they didn’t want to. It was mainly about whether Pierce could publicize the secret in his hands.
However, the Country M leaders smiled awkwardly in front of such a simple request..
“As you know, Pierce was the one who discovered this secret, and we have no authority over it.”
“Also, even if we can control him, we can’t contact him. You guys should know about Pierce. He basically doesn’t read the comments.”
“Our leaders have no way to even express our sincere regards to him.”
The other leaders silently sighed.
They no longer had hope for their participants to bring any good resources to the country.
All they asked was for them to guard the city walls safely.
That was enough.
At the same time.
The leader of Country G walked over with a smile and shook hands with the leader of Country M.
“From now on, Country M and Country G will be allies for generations!”
The moment that was said, the leaders of the surrounding countries could not help but tear up.
“We are begging you. Let Pierce tell us the secret about the Tower Defense. We’re willing to be friends with Country M for generations. We can sign an agreement!”
“…”
In the Tower Defense world.
Pierce, who was cleaning up the battlefield, suddenly received a message.
[Hell Difficulty. Reward: Superpower Awakening in Country M!]
Superpower awakening in Country M???
Before Pierce could react, the global media who were staring at the broadcast erupted!
