Chapter 1600: Chapter 799: Unstoppable (Part 3)
If more than five needles hit and no corresponding Divine Arts cure is applied, the victim will suddenly die soon, as their heart becos paralyzed and ceases to beat.
Normal Withered Vine Creatures don’t have this self-destructive trait, nor do the needles of Withering Needle Monsters contain paralyzing toxins.
This is the result of the Withering Power of the ancient evil tree Gantias rging with the Demon Trees, causing their combat effectiveness to skyrocket.
In terms of slaughter, the top ranks are still the humanoid beings skilled in using various tools.
Under the relentless bombardnt, the death toll of the Withering Army is dozens of tis that of the Usr Defense Army.
Whether Withering Branch Monsters or Withered Vine Creatures, they all fell in waves.
Although the walls of the City of Usr are not high, they are enough to hold back these monotonous awakened plant monsters right here.
Until the Fla City Defense Crossbow Bolts sliced through the distant darkness, exposing the throwers of the Withered Vine Creatures to everyone’s view.
The five-ter-high walls of Usr City are not even as tall as the thighs of the opponent’s spider tree roots.
Vines like gigantic pythons dangle from the enormous treetops to the ground, sweeping up the surrounding Withered Vine Creatures as if hurling pebbles, easily throwing them hundreds of ters away, and there are not just one, but as many as eight such vines on the other side’s body.
The treetops are laden with purple gourd-shaped fruits of various sizes, swaying and wriggling as it slowly advances, as if sothing is trying to crawl out from within.
Those Fla City Defense Crossbow Bolts, thicker than an adult’s arm and two and a half ters long, fall upon it like inconspicuous awls, and together with the towering spider tree roots, its height exceeds thirty ters, making it an outright giant.
Surrounded by nurous stout purple Demon Tree People, they work like diligent worker ants, retrieving the half-charred beast bodies from the pits and delivering them to the colossal entity.
The tentacle vines swing, hoisting them beside the main trunk, as a vertical wide mouth splits open on the trunk, terrifying in its enormity, lined with sharp thorny teeth, large enough to easily swallow a heavy carriage.
Demon Trees!
This is the notorious top predator among awakened plants.
Its true form is even more ferocious than legend, many with weak willpower lose the courage to resist after rely witnessing its brutal feeding scene.
And there are not just one such terrifying entity, but as many as thirty.
Let alone the Usr militia, even the experienced Great Valley Rangers can’t help drawing cold breaths, overwheld with a chill, wondering if there’s still a way to fight this battle?
The mont the other side reaches the walls marks the fall of the City of Usr, as the walls are powerless against them, they could step over them with ease, and any casual attack from the other side could cause sections of the wall to crumble.
The only consolation is that this creature is exceedingly heavy, its movent speed very slow, even with all its might for Fast Movent, the distance of three hundred ters would take it several minutes.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
One after another, giant fireballs the size of basins plumted from a Demon Tree’s crown, one after another, as many as four, from afar looking like fiery red beads, each strike forming three strings.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Standing on the city walls of Usr, these beads seed insignificant, but when they landed on the Demon Tree, they had grown as large as vats, crashing onto it, where the concentrated fla elent exploded instantly, an insatiable fiery wave engulfing everything around.
Huge gourd-shaped fruits on the crown were directly blasted off, shattering on the ground, revealing unford Demon Tree People inside, the small ones barely a silhouette, the large ones nearly ford, albeit significantly smaller in height and body type, akin to Gnos.
These Demon Tree People exhibited formidable life force, not only did the gno-like Demon Tree People stagger to their feet, even those not yet fully ford astonishingly did not perish on the spot, struggling to rise.
Many tree trunks were snapped on the spot, and a vine tentacle trying to fend off the fireballs was severed.
And this is just the damage effect of the first teor Fireball; there are eleven more coming down like a continuous barrage.
Slow-moving, imnsely massive Demon Trees are sitting ducks with no chance of evasion, they can only furiously swing their vine tentacles in a final resistance.
Seven wildly thrashing vine tentacles proved sowhat effective, striking as many as four teor Fireballs and detonating them on impact.
However, this approach, akin to hacking a Fireball Technique with a sword, rely prevents direct hits, reducing maximum damage, the collateral kill zone remains substantial.
The vine tentacle that collided was severed at the point of impact, with the resulting explosive fla shockwave savagely licking the Demon Tree.
When the fla shockwave from the twelve teor Fireballs dissipated, the Demon Tree crumbled instantly, appearing extrely pitiful, leaving only one intact vine tentacle out of eight, and the treetops devoid of thorn spike leaves or gourd-shaped fruits.
Spider leg tree roots were snapped by a third, sagging onto the ground.
Whether it’s dead or not is uncertain, but at least it cannot advance upon Usr City.
