Upon seeing the two words ‘Country M’, the citizens in Country M panicked.
“Don’t. What is Boss Pierce thinking?”
“No, do you really think you’re all that just by raising a few plants?”
“It’s over, it’s over. The monster this time looks to be at least a level five creature. When I think of this monster coming to our country!”
“Stop, don’t say no more. I’m starting to shiver.”
“Boss Pierce, it’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just that your action is beyond the norm!”
“Boss Pierce, charge bravely! They don’t believe you, but I believe you!”
“Believe my ass!”
……
Although the participants were very confident in their defensive measures, they could not challenge harder mode as they had no way to fight against multiple aberrations.
After all, unlike Pierce and Country G, they did not possess elemental power.
Even Blossoms Country was no exception.
They also chose Normal Mode.
After the last country finished selecting the difficulty level, the invasion officially began.
The participants from various countries were all prepared.
Stone spears, arrow towers, everything was ready.
The only thing missing now was the attacking monsters. This time, they would definitely annihilate the monsters.
On Pierce’s side.
He had just woken up and was still in a daze when he heard the notification of the start of the third invasion.
Just as he was about to choose the hard difficulty, he suddenly saw the golden text floating beside him.
[In this battle, there are more than a thousand monsters. With a few aberrations, your situation is very restrained.]
[If you choose hell difficulty, you will obtain something unexpected after winning!]
Pierce had always believed in the golden words, and this time was no exception.
Without much thought, he followed the advice of the notification and chose the hell difficulty.
Among all the participating countries, only Country G and Country M did not choose normal difficulty.
The leader of Country G, Zenus, was also stunned when he saw Pierce choose the Hell Difficulty.
In his opinion, Pierce’s most likely choice was hard difficulty.
From the looks of it, this ally’s hidden strength was very deep.
Just as everyone entered a state of high alert, the monsters began to appear one after another.
In countries that chose normal modes, a thousand dark zombies and an aberration swarmed out of the forest
The players controlled the arrow towers and were attacking crazily.
Then, those who could engage in melee combat formed a defensive line outside the city gate to defend.
Everything was in order.
Under the attacks of the ordinary arrow towers, the dark zombies dragged their broken bodies forward tenaciously.
The aberration at the back was hiding behind the dark zombies, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
The decisive battle between the hunter and the prey was taking place on many equally intense battlefields.
In just a short period of time, the various countries proved their worth.
Catapults, fire arrow towers, pitfalls, and so on were all used brilliantly.
In this Tower Defense,
All of them had absolute confidence in themselves!
This did not include Pierce, of course.
Compared to the other intense battlefields, in front of the city walls of Country M, not a single zombie appeared, and the aberrations were nowhere to be seen.
Pierce stood on the city wall. The strong wind blew his shirt.
He looked into the distance as if he was thinking about something.
The forest in the distance was pitch-black, and everything had fallen into a deep sleep.
Silence.
Pierce’s situation confused many of the spectators.
“What’s going on? Other countries are basically fighting to the death, but you don’t have a single monster here?”
“Weren’t they talking about a level five monster? Where is it?!”
“The other countries have either gone crazy from the killing or being killed crazily, but you still have the leisure to drink tea.”
——————
Pierce put down the cup and stared at the forest illuminated by the lamps.
A short time later, a small cue appeared.
[There seems to be a terrifying creature hiding in the depths of the forest. Please do not act rashly—it is slowly approaching.]
Upon seeing this, Pierce quickly looked up and focused his gaze.
Creak!
It was the sound of a tree branch being broken.
It was a very soft voice.
However, on this quiet night, it was extremely stimulating.
Even the griffin turned to look at the source of the sound.
The two rows of elemental peashooters at the city gate were also ready.
In the game, the peashooters’ shooting range was a straight line.
But in the Tower Defense world, the peashooters could shoot anywhere in a range of 200 meters.
Their sights were aimed at the forest.
Just then—
A piercing sound came from the forest, and a half-moon-shaped white blade energy was flying toward Pierce.
The griffin screeched.
Pierce quickly hid behind the city wall.
The sharp blade energy left a deep mark on the stone wall.
Looking back at the forest, there was no more movement.
However, a lot of the dense trees were cut off by this blade energy, and one could faintly see the empty space behind them.
After this probing attack, Pierce grimaced.
This guy was definitely intelligent.
Slowly, the creaking sound got closer and closer.
A humanoid monster walked out of the forest under the moonlight.
It was a thin, milky-white monster.
It was about the same height as a human, but it had two feelers on its head. It had two apple-sized eyes which were the red compound eyes unique to insects.
It just stood there, staring at Pierce.
He instantly felt a sense of oppression and could not help but bend down.
Was this the ability of Esper?
How powerful.
Pierce forced himself up and looked at the monster as well.
In just a short while, the Tower Defense system gave him all the information about it.
[Esper]
[Level: 5]
[Growth Potential: Level 7+]
[Skill: Blade Energy, Spirit Suppression, Elemental Wave, Insight of All Things…]
It was as he had expected. Or rather, a part of it was as he had expected.
In this time’s Tower Defense Survival, the first level 5 creature appeared.
At the same time, the milky white humanoid creature appeared before the audience.
Everyone was in an uproar.
A level 5 creature!!
This type of creature that could only appear in books and theories appeared.
No one had ever seen such a creature before… Or rather, they only knew creatures of the level 3 and below.
