Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

"Hey, the enemy's in!"

“Ah…I know.” Raul’s face was pale. “But that’s not my responsibility. My duty is to hold off the army’s attack!”

……

Central Park.

The first to break through the ice barrier was Chardo, clad in heavy black armor. He dragged the black blade in his hand, anticipating the opponent he was about to crush.

He had no idea how many surprises Charles had prepared for him, and he pondered how much of his strength he should hold back and how much he should go easy on Orario so that Orario wouldn't lose too badly.

however……

Upon entering the ice wall, a cold wind swept by, and there was no one around.

Did I get stood up?

The moment this idea was born, an uncontrollable rage surged within Chardo.

No, do you really think I wouldn't dare to tear down the Tower of Babel?

however……

"Hehehe, hahahaha, I knew it! That coward Finn actually tried to play the empty city ploy with me? You think just because you fell for it once, we'll do the same thing again?"

After Valetta rushed into the ice wall, she saw the same scene and let out a piercing laugh.

"Minions, take up your weapons and tear down this Tower of Babel! Orario, today marks the end of an era! Finn—I will make you pay for your arrogance! Hahahahahaha."

Valeta regained her confidence. This time, she considered things one step ahead of Finn and anticipated his predictions. The immense sense of accomplishment washed away the disappointment of her repeated setbacks.

Chardo was equally annoyed, feeling as if he had been invited to a lavish meal, only to be met with Finn's response: "Come on, northwest wind, have a good drink."

Dry……

The black blade slammed heavily onto the ground, sending dirt and ice shards flying, leaving a huge crater of rocky thorns five meters away.

From the swirling dirt, Chardo unexpectedly spotted several strange oil paper packages. Some of the scattered packages contained steel balls covered in black powder and liquid seeping out.

His pupils contracted...

Immediately afterwards, a ball of fire fell from the sky, hundreds of meters above the horizon.

With dark panda eyes, Asifi let out a dazed roar, her voice trembling with tears:

"Pretty, isn't she! Finn! I haven't slept for 77 hours, and you still make me do this kind of work! Destroy it all! Destroy it all, hahahahaha... cities and the Tower of Babel, give them all to me..."

Before she could finish her tearful story...

boom----------------

A white light enveloped Chardo's vision, and a terrifying shockwave spread from his feet and all around him...

Like dominoes, in a brief moment, the entire Central Park surrounding the Tower of Babel was engulfed in flames and roars.

The glass around the Tower of Babel shattered, the walls collapsed and shook, and a giant mushroom cloud, over 300 meters high and 1,000 meters in diameter, bloomed.

Chapter 208 The Death Singer - Anya!

Rumble.

The terrifying tremors and shockwaves made even the adventurers stationed on the outer perimeter feel their legs go weak, causing them to shrink into the brick walls and lie down on the ground.

The ice wall, originally intended simply for concealing and setting traps, was completely shattered by this impact. Countless shattered ice crystals vaporized under the high temperature, while a few stubborn fragments turned into "ammunition" and pierced into the surrounding buildings and people.

The charging Dark Faction soldiers were also pushed back by the scattered impact and fell to the ground.

Some were pierced by ice shards, others were knocked down by rubble, and they stared in astonishment at Central Park, which was completely bathed in firelight and black smoke.

"what is that?"

"Ultra-wide area magic? Orario has such talent?"

"No, no, it's the Fire Stone! Orario stole our trump card! Shameless Orario!"

A moment later, the secret faction soldiers quickly realized what was going on.

Damn it, Finn actually used their own methods against them! The key is, he did it even more aggressively than they did!

More importantly...

"Lady Valetta, why did you go deliver again?! Aa ...

……

In the air, carried by the rising impact and air currents, Asphie stumbled and flew around wildly. She finally managed to fan the [Hermes Boots], but due to exhaustion and drowsiness, her mental fatigue vanished the moment the [Explosive Powder] was ignited.

She blinked in surprise.

No, what did I just do?

No one told her that the power would be so great, that even hundreds of meters in the sky, she couldn't avoid this terrible impact.

"Ah, if I accidentally blow myself up because of insomnia, it will definitely be Finn's fault!" Asif complained loudly, her voice trembling with tears.

It can only be said that the gunpowder, after being magically transformed and fully refined, and aided by the highly effective combustion-enhancing substance, the nearly 5-ton equivalent of explosives buried in Central Park, produced remarkable results.

Even though the deployment was not concentrated but dispersed around the entire Central Park due to consideration of the enemy's attack route, the damage caused was not as exaggerated as the affected area, but the tactical objective was still achieved.

The rising hot air currents caused rain to fall from the already gloomy sky.

Guild Master Royman, who had been hiding inside the guild headquarters building, crawled out from under the collapsed bricks and tiles, staring in astonishment at the scene before him.

"Finn! What have you done! What have you done?! You actually dared to plant mines around the Tower of Babel! Did you want to blow up the Tower of Babel?!" Royman wailed over the subsequent repair costs.

The black smoke, dampened by the rain, slowly dissipated.

Beneath the ruins of the central square, hundreds of elite soldiers of the Dark Faction, whose remains were nowhere to be seen, were reduced to a pool of charred blood and minced flesh.

Inside the collapsed building a kilometer away, Valetta was bleeding from her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. Her limbs were twisted and charred. Relying on her last will to survive, she ignored the pain and crawled away into the distance, grabbing the soil with one hand.

Compared to her miserable condition, the imposing figure in black armor in the center of the park still stood tall.

But it's clear to the naked eye that it has lost its initial vigor and spirit.

His helmet was blown off, his armor was riddled with holes and cracks, and white smoke rose from his body, with embers still burning. Chardo's狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) mouth was stained with blood, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"You son of a bitch..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Chardo exhaled black mist, followed by a violent cough, spitting out particles and smoke mixed with blood.

Chardo withstood the intense heat and the impact, but the true power of gunpowder was vastly different from the magic of this world.

The key to the damage lies in the vibrations to the internal organs and the booming sound.

Even more...

The flames ignited most of the air in the area, creating a momentary vacuum. The thin oxygen and the breathing difficulties caused by the smoke were also part of the destructive force.

This absolute survival dilemma is also a very troublesome weakening for a level 8. Chardo must exert force to control his internal organs, force out the particles blocking his lungs, and rely on the gradually returning thin oxygen to slowly recover his condition.

He shook his slightly white eyes vigorously, and the tinnitus gradually subsided.

His high level of abnormal resistance gave him the confidence to continue standing here.

but……

"Cough, cough, cough—"

The city's broadcasting equipment, which was shrouded inside the Tower of Babel, began to play at that moment.

"Meow meow meow, can you hear meow?"

The unusual sound, as it spread through city radio broadcasts, was gradually picked up throughout the city.

In the distance, at other clan settlements, signal lights were flashing rapidly in the direction of the Tower of Babel, and a signal flare rose from the other side of the city.

"Very good, meow. Since you can hear me, then the cat will begin! Hehe~~ Anya-kuyo!"

[A gray sky, vanished homes...]

Yuanqi's voice, broadcast over the radio, reached the ears of the entire city. At that moment, everyone was staring in the direction of the Tower of Babel, completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem.

Lost kitten

As the magic light descended, Anya took a deep breath, and then…

"Meowa ...

A piercing, eerie sound wave shattered the speakers, and the jarring, distorted sound, accompanied by rhythmic vibrations, enveloped the entire city.

A red curse, weakening their abilities, covers adventurers, residents, Dark Faction soldiers, and believers.

The Dark Faction soldiers and followers, who were already in high demand and mostly at the early lv1 level, found it extremely difficult to even hold their own weapons due to the interference of the strange sonic waves.

In a state of weakness, all beings become equal, and the effects of grace seem to disappear.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Adi shone with starlight.

"Comrades! The time to strike back has come! Arrest them!"

The ability boost effect of the skill [Justice Continues] on all members of the Familia offset some of Anya's ability reduction.

The Ganesha Familia, armed with weapons and demonic swords, launched a counterattack against the Dark Clan!

……

Central Park.

Chardo, whose abilities were also weakened, frowned slightly. His extremely high resistance to abnormalities did not cause his ability values ​​to drop too much, but having just reached level 8 and not yet experienced much training and adaptation, he did feel that his strength had indeed fallen to a lower level.

The successive attacks made him more vigilant, and he no longer underestimated his opponents in the city. He held the black-clad knife and stared at his surroundings.

really……

At the end of a street in the northwest corner of the city, a silver chariot swept away the scattered yellow dust and closed the distance by a kilometer in just over ten seconds.

The near-sonic speed creates a sonic boom and pushes aside the air blast.

"[Granize Fromm]!"

Covered in black light armor, Allen roared, and with the enhancement of chariot magic, his silver spear emitted a dazzling starlight, leaving a meteor trail in the city streets.

Before the air on the battlefield could circulate and the smoke could dissipate, Allen, gun and all, crashed into Chardo's black block sword.

"Go to hell!!"
