?Villain Ch 560. Stone Wall and Deadlift
“Okay, let’s get started!” Bella exclaimed with genuine excitement. Her words carried an infectious energy.
In a synchronized motion, the group ceased their onslaught of skills, creating a momentary lull in the chaotic clash against the undead soldiers. Bella, seizing the opportunity, harnessed the full extent of her prowess. She unleashed her Stone Wall skill at its maximum level. The stone floor beneath them quivered in response, a subtle tremor building into a resonant vibration. In an almost dance-like rhythm, the floor surged upward, stones rapidly ascending and interlocking to form a formidable stone wall that enclosed the corridor in front of them.
The transformation was swift and awe-inspiring, as if nature itself had responded to Bella’s command, creating an impenetrable barrier. The wall rose with a commanding presence, stretching from floor to ceiling, effectively sealing off their path. A newfound calm enveloped the once tumultuous corridor. The clash of weapons, the eerie wails and the bone-chilling grunts of undead soldiers were now muted.
“I think we need to cut the first base before we can do anything,” Bella admitted with a cringe, realizing that her Stone Wall was still tethered to the floor.
“Let me handle it,” Larissa declared from behind her. Larissa stepped forward, prompting the others to make way for her. The narrow pathway, a mere two meters wide, added an extra layer of challenge to their hunt.
Larissa activated her Blood Manipulation skill. Her blood transformed into tendrils, each resembling sharp-edged blades. The tendrils, like extensions of her own essence, danced in the air with a graceful lethality.
With precision, Larissa directed the blood tendrils toward the base of Bella’s Stone Wall. The thick stone, formidable and resistant, seemed a challenging opponent, but Larissa’s manipulation of her blood proved to be both elegant and powerful.
The tendrils, sharp as blades, moved with a fluidity that defied the constraints. They wrapped around the base, delicately probing its structure. The representation of Larissa’s blood transformed into a deadly ballet of crimson tendrils. The tendrils tightened their grip, their sharp edges exerting pressure on the stone. The sharp edges of the blood tendrils cut through the thick stone base, separating it from the rest of the wall.
As Larissa’s Blood Manipulation skill successfully severed the stone base from Bella’s wall, a subtle shift occurred in the landscape. The freed stone, once part of the formidable barrier, now began to inch back toward the group. The movement was gradual but unmistakable, a cue that the monsters on the other side were persistently attempting to breach the divide.
The realization of the looming threat prompted a collective effort among them to push the stone wall further. In the midst of this tension, Allen, recognizing the urgency of the situation, swiftly raised his hand forward and unleashed his Telekinesis Blast. The energy surged forward, a manifestation of his in-game abilities aimed at providing a forceful push to the stone barrier. However, a frown creased Allen’s forehead as he encountered an unexpected resistance, a weightiness that defied the usual ease of his telekinetic control.
The resistance, distinct and pronounced, reverberated through Allen’s consciousness. At that moment, the telekinetic exertion felt more akin to a physical feat, a sensation he likened to the strain of a deadlift. The realization startled him.
‘Heavy,’ Allen mused internally, his thoughts echoing the unexpected physicality of the telekinetic resistance. ๐๐ฆ๐ถ.๐ค๐ฐ๐
Despite the shock, Allen persisted, channeling his focus into the Telekinesis Blast. The stone barrier responded to the forceful push, gradually distancing itself from the pursuing monsters. It began to move forward. However, an unexpected resistance manifested, impeding the wall’s progress after merely a meter of advancement. This peculiar limitation struck the group as unusual, especially given Allen’s known capability to throw players much farther.
The realization dawned upon themโbeyond the stone wall lurked a density of monsters that defied the norms of their encounters. The creatures, pressing against the barrier with relentless determination, created a formidable blockade. The physics, usually accommodating a more dynamic interaction, now emphasized the sheer mass and tenacity of the undead horde.
The girls exchanged glances. The confined space of the narrow pathway coupled with the overwhelming density of monsters behind the stone wall created a scenario that demanded a strategic approach.
“Are you alright? Should we cancel the plan?” Zoe asked, genuine concern coloring her voice as her tentacles poised to approach the stone wall, ready to assist in the push.
“I’m fine. Just a little shocked,” Allen admitted, showing a momentary pause. Determination flickered in his eyes as he extended his other hand forward, preparing to channel his Telekinesis Blast once again. The unexpected resistance from earlier had left a lingering sense of surprise, but Allen was determined to overcome it.
‘Telekinesis Blast!’ The command echoed in his head as Allen harnessed his in-game skill. This time, he anticipated the weightiness that accompanied the telekinetic exertion. The heavy feeling returned, a resistance akin to a strenuous workout, but Allen was better prepared. Gritting his teeth, he focused on increasing his power, determined to push the stone wall and overcome the density of monsters beyond.
The stone wall yielded to the enhanced Telekinesis Blast, this time moving more significantly. Approximately five meters of progress unfolded, a notable improvement from the initial resistance. The movement, swift and assertive, caught the monsters behind off guard. A small but triumphant smile played on Allen’s face, the satisfaction of overcoming the unexpected obstacle evident in his expression.
“That’s better,” he muttered, his words carrying a mix of relief and accomplishment.
With determination in their steps, the group advanced toward the stone wall. Allen, at the forefront, prepared to unleash another Telekinesis Blast to propel the barrier forward.
Once they neared the wall, Allen’s concentration heightened. With a swift motion of his hand, he unleashed the Telekinesis Blast. The resistance, though still present, yielded more readily to Allen’s enhanced control.
He continued to push the stone wall. The monsters on the other side, unable to withstand the relentless force, succumbed one by one. The announcement of damage and EXP filled the interface, a testament to the efficacy of Allen’s Telekinesis Blast.
The loot, a bounty harvested from the defeated monsters, continued to flow toward the group. The rewards served as tangible markers of their progress.
“Ya know, I never thought your absurd idea would work this well,” Alice quipped with a surprised grin directed at Bella. The ease with which they navigated the challenges in the emperor’s tomb left a sense of astonishment. It felt almost too good to be true, especially considering the hurdles they had faced in previous encounters.
“I also didn’t think it would be this easy,” Bella admitted, reflecting genuine surprise. The strategic move, born from an impromptu idea, had proven unexpectedly effective. While the burden on Allen was acknowledged, the surplus of Mana Potion supplies ensured that his mana pool remained robust. As long as Allen’s magical reservoir stayed filled, the ongoing endeavor seemed almost effortless.
Allen turned toward the group with a mockingly raised eyebrow. “So, I’m the only one who works here?” he inquired, a hint of playful accusation in his tone. The others responded with grins, a shared understanding that their current strategy heavily relied on Allen’s Telekinesis Blast.
“Well, you’re the one with the telekinetic muscle, Allen,” Jane retorted, a mischievous glint in her eyes. “We’re just here to enjoy the show.”
Bella added with a grin, “Who knew pushing walls could be this lucrative?”
Zoe chimed in, “I’m just excited about what treasures the next floor might hold. Maybe some rare artifacts or enchanted gear?”
Larissa raised an eyebrow. “Let’s not forget the monsters. We should be prepared for tougher foes. The loot will be better, but the challenges might ramp up too.”
Vivian spoke, “Imagine finding a legendary item or a rare spell scroll. It could level up our whole party.”
“Or more coins,” Shea chimed.
Jane nodded in agreement. “We should also coordinate our skills better. There’s potential for even more efficient battles.”
“I just hope the next floor brings us more challenges that don’t involve playing tug-of-war with stone walls. And the space, I hope it will be a better space than this cramped chamber,” Allen remarked with a chuckle.
Alice added with a playful smirk, “I’m secretly hoping for a dragon. You know, a dragon emperor! It’s an Eastern tomb after all.”
Bella mused, “What if there’s a puzzle on the next floor? Something to tickle our brains a bit.”
Zoe, her enthusiasm evident, said, “I’d love a challenge that really tests our teamwork.”
Larissa warned, “Let’s not get too carried away. We know the next floor will bring tougher monsters. We should focus on being prepared for that.”
In less than five minutes, they stood before the last stele, its crystal pulsating with an ethereal glow. Allen swiftly launched a blast toward the crystal. The impact shattered the crystal into radiant fragments.
As the crystal disintegrated, a portal materialized before them. Without hesitation, they stepped into the portal.
