Everyone's playing as a roguelike, starting with an extra Mythical Relic.

The beast tide surged onto the city walls for the third time. The city's oil reserves had been exhausted, and the spirit points of several fire-type professions had also been depleted.

As the beast tide was about to surge up from the middle of the city wall, everyone prepared for close-quarters combat.

Just then, a figure leaped down from the middle of the city wall!

The nearby soldiers had no time to be surprised; they simply assumed that some new recruit couldn't handle the pressure and wanted to defend the city in such a foolish way.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, a crisp snap of fingers rang out!

In that instant, the sound seemed to drown out the roars of the beasts below the city gate.

Several soldiers looking down at the city walls were utterly astonished by what they saw!

In the center of the mountain of beasts piled up at the foot of the city gate, a spherical vacuum zone with a radius of three meters appeared out of thin air!

In the hollow center is the young man who snapped his fingers.

This was a true vacuum; blood, sound, and air were all instantly annihilated and evaporated by a tyrannical force.

Immediately afterwards, air from three meters away from the youth began to rush into this vacuum zone!

The resulting airflow carried the beasts below the city gate, flying uncontrollably towards the youth.

Below the city gate, the mountain of beasts that had been piled up began to loosen and collapse.

This greatly reduced the pressure on the defending side.

The young man buried under the horde of beasts was none other than Chu Yang.

That snap of the fingers earlier was the activation method for [Shield Blast+].

The Shield Blast Technique+ does not actually annihilate the air.

The reason it was so terrifying was because Chu Yang's [Shield Blast Technique+] dealt extremely high damage!

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

That was the terrifying power generated by an instantaneous damage of over 100,000!

Under the pressure of the beasts, Chu Yang felt a little suffocated but otherwise fine.

The level 5 shield guard has 35 points of physical resistance, and the attacks of these beasts are not very powerful, so they can only deal single-digit damage when they hit his shield.

However, being squeezed by the horde of beasts, he couldn't use his basic attacks effectively.

He didn't choose to use a movement skill to escape the horde of beasts; instead, he simply held his shield in front of his head for a brief defensive stance.

The beasts behind him attacked again, some surrounding and tearing at Chu Yang, while others stepped on him to continue their charge towards the city.

Chu Yang, however, remained motionless in a defensive stance.

He was waiting, waiting for the cooldown of [Shield Blast+].

Before he jumped off the city wall, he had already replaced the [Swiftness Spell] rune with [Shield Blast+], so he could cast [Shield Blast+] again in just 16 seconds.

The middle section of the city gate tower is the area where the beasts are most concentrated and also the most dangerous.

That's why he chose this place.

Sixteen seconds later, the snap occurred again.

This time, even more soldiers witnessed the horrific scene from before.

For Awakened Ones, area-of-effect damage spells are not uncommon.

However, they had never seen a spell that could annihilate a space with a radius of three meters in an instant, at least not from a low-level awakened being.

Just by looking at it, they could feel how terrifying the power of this spell was!

Just two [Shield Blast+] spells greatly alleviated the beast tide crisis in the middle of the city wall.

With the pressure suddenly reduced, the freed-up forces were redeployed to other areas under the command of the city general.

Seeing the dwindling number of wild beasts, the soldiers on the city wall showed expressions of excitement.

Because they knew they had stopped the beast tide!

Only then did the few people pushing open the gate realize that the person standing below the city gate was actually one of them, the same person who had pushed open the gate.

[Holy crap! I thought some powerful NPC had come to help me in the battle!]

[Both are people who push open the door, how did this person manage to do it?!]

[This is only gate number 6, how can this person be so strong!]

【…】

Besides the person who pushed open the door, the general on the city wall was also looking at Chu Yang with burning eyes.

He summoned the officer in charge of the Awakened Ones and asked, "Was that Awakened One below the city wall sent by the Nine Great Academies?"

The officer being questioned shook his head and said, "No, he doesn't seem to have the academy's token. He's probably a rogue cultivator or a disciple of a noble family."

The general, who was about to ask something else, suddenly exclaimed, "Why hasn't this kid gone back to the city yet! The orc army is coming from the rear!"

Below the city gate, Chu Yang jumped out of a pit two or three meters deep, then stood motionless with his shield.

This pit was also caused by [Shield Blast+].

When Chu Yang first unleashed [Shield Blast+], he was in mid-air. At that time, everything within a three-meter radius of him was annihilated except for him.

When he cast [Shield Blast+] for the second time, he was standing on the ground, so part of the ground beneath his feet disappeared as well.

After casting [Shield Blast Technique+] twice, Chu Yang discovered that the damage range of this skill could actually be controlled.

When he released it for the second time, he subconsciously reduced the damage range under his feet, so the pit under his feet was not as deep as three meters.

Chu Yang felt that once he mastered the [Shield Blast Technique], he might be able to control it precisely.

In this way, he wouldn't have to worry about accidentally injuring friendly forces in the future.

The best way to master a skill is, of course, through real-world practice.

He looked at the orc army that was within a kilometer ahead and prepared to engage in battle!

As an aside, after changing the runes for a skill, there is a cooldown period for triggering the rune effects.

Therefore, the rune positions are generally not changed at the start of a battle.

Soon the orc army and the defending soldiers began exchanging arrows.

Chu Yang alone was not enough to make the orc army fire a barrage of arrows at him; the occasional stray arrows that flew by were easily blocked by Chu Yang.

Chu Yang did not choose to charge into the enemy formation alone. Although his shield value was over 13, it was still not enough against the thousands of orcs surrounding him.

His choice was to stand with his back against the city wall, relying on the human soldiers behind him to fight the orcs.

When these orcs attack the city, they can't all be focused on Chu Yang, so Chu Yang won't be under much pressure.

The attack by just a few dozen orcs posed no real danger to him.

He also carefully controlled the release of [Shield Blast+], and when he discovered elite orcs in the orc army, he immediately used a teleportation skill to get close and snap his fingers.

Before his [Shield Blast+], all things are equal.

As soon as he snaps his fingers, a vacuum will form within a three-meter radius around him.

All life except Chu Yang will disappear.

The only exception is the treasure chests dropped by elite monsters.

Almost every 16 seconds, a group of orcs would disappear from the battlefield.

The beast tide had already failed to achieve good results, and now with Chu Yang, a humanoid monster, present below the city walls, the general of this orc army had clearly realized that they could not conquer this town.

Orc generals are even more powerful than elite orcs.

Each orc general possesses the ability to command hordes of beasts, making them the core force in conquering other races.

The commander of this orc army was an orc general with a snow-white wolf head and a slender figure.

The white wolf he rode was more than three times the size of the beast tamer's white wolf pet.

He immediately issued the order to withdraw his troops, but he did not turn back immediately. Instead, he stretched out his left hand and conjured a dark blue longbow.

He began to draw his bow and nock an arrow, his eyes locked onto Chu Yang!

"Buzz!"

The bowstring left his finger, and a streak of icy arrow energy condensed in the air, flying rapidly toward Chu Yang.

Wherever the icy arrow passed, the ground frosted and the air solidified. By the time Chu Yang sensed the chill, he had already been struck by the arrow.

A massive ice arrow struck his body, instantly reducing his shield value by over 900.

At the same time, a chilling aura spread through his body, freezing him on the battlefield!

Chu Yang's body was unable to move, but he could still see the White Wolf General holding a deep blue longbow hundreds of meters away.

[You think you can just leave after you've finished? No way!]
