When the native army stops attacking their area and starts to detour whenever they see it, then Leo and his group will be safe!
All of this requires a massive number of corpses to achieve his goal. Only when countless native soldiers die beneath the fortress, their bodies piled up like mountains, and countless souls wail in agony, will all life feel the awe and fear!
The native army's attack continued; how many died at the front had no bearing on those behind. The stench of blood stimulated the nerves of every wild beast, making them even more frenzied and reckless.
The wizards were also putting up a fierce counterattack. The native army was too large, so they could only target the beasts and giants near the fortress to reduce the fortress's energy consumption.
The Polyhedral Fortress was always their strong defensive shield; as long as the fortress stood, they were safe.
Even so, the energy inside the fortress was being rapidly depleted. The three hundred wizards could not fully protect the fortress's defenses; at most, they could reduce the damage received by one-fifth, and the rest would still be heavily impacted.
The flickering magic array was activated at maximum power, defending against all attacks.
The fortress itself showed no damage, but the energy it consumed left Leo speechless.
If it weren't for the energy stored within the Godslaying Staff and the continuous energy replenishment from the fission of nuclear materials, the fortress would have been destroyed long ago.
However, the fortress's total energy can only be maintained at 50% to 60% now. The constantly fluctuating total energy is like a turbulent sea, rising and falling, and Leo's heart beats with its fluctuations.
The current fortress can be depleted of energy by withstanding a single concentrated attack of over ten thousand units.
"Prepare to make a move to reduce the pressure on the fortress," Leo said to Yaoyao.
The three hundred wizards had reached their limit and could no longer alleviate the pressure on the fortress. Only he and Yaoyao could relieve the pressure on the fortress.
"It's time to unleash my new trick and let these ignorant, lowly natives experience what fear truly is!"
Yaoyao, her eyes gleaming, raised her little paw, on which a black needle, longer than her body, slowly rotated.
Leo lightly touched the ground with his feet, and the shadows disappeared one after another.
Yaoyao waved her claws, and the black needles in her hand vanished one by one.
The price was that the magical power in Leo's body flowed out like a tap had been turned on, gushing out wildly.
Kaba and his three hundred wizards were putting up a fierce fight, but the terrifying number of the native army overwhelmed the fortress, and every moment the fortress was crawling with all sorts of strange and wonderful creatures.
They used their mouths to bite, their claws to scratch, their tails to whip, and various elemental attacks, desperately trying to tear the fortress apart inch by inch.
The World Will and the will of God have commanded them to destroy every invading evil enemy. Now the evil enemy lies below; their protective shell must be torn apart, and they must be killed in the most brutal way.
The wizards were like diligent cleaners, sweeping away the native creatures that climbed onto the fortress time and time again.
Before the native army could finish clearing out the enemy, even more native creatures climbed up, advancing wave after wave, even attacking their own comrades in an attempt to breach the fortress's defenses.
Kaba didn't know what methods Leo had used to keep the fortress's energy so abundant, but it couldn't possibly sustain the fortress's energy consumption for long.
Protecting the fortress is not just Leo's responsibility, it's everyone's responsibility. We can't put all our hopes on Leo.
Faced with such a powerful counterattack from the Giant World, the power of any individual wizard, unless they are Stigmata Wizard, is insignificant.
But just as they were busy clearing the native army from the fortress, they witnessed an incomprehensible scene!
One by one, the beasts and giants that were still desperately tearing at and attacking the fortress froze, and the sound of their bones being crushed could even be heard on the fierce battlefield.
Then blood flowed from one of their eyes, and their bodies remained motionless as they slammed to the ground amidst the aftershocks of the other attacks.
This was not an isolated incident involving a single beast; rather, it was a widespread phenomenon affecting both beasts and giants at the same time.
First, his body suddenly stiffened, then blood flowed from his single eye, and his body crashed into the wild beast beside him like a kite with a broken string.
Their breaths were fading, their souls were disappearing; this was not a simple injury, but death in an instant!
In just a few breaths, the area outside the fortress was piled high with corpses that had fallen from above. There wasn't a single wound on their bodies, except for a small amount of blood flowing from one of their single eyes.
In their perception, they could feel black needles, each about twenty centimeters long, piercing their eyes instantly, shattering their brains, and then shooting out again in an instant.
A simple, undetectable attack with almost no energy fluctuation easily claimed their lives.
The fortress was originally covered with more than 10,000 beasts and giants, but now they are being cleared away in the blink of an eye.
Their speed was almost as fast as that of three hundred wizards working together.
The wizards stared in shock at the scene. There were no energy fluctuations, no roars, no angry howls, and they couldn't even see why the beasts and giants had suddenly frozen in place.
Everything happened so strangely, so suddenly.
Not only were the three hundred wizards shocked, but even the beast army around them was shocked, because they did not know what kind of attack their comrades had suffered that had killed them instantly.
Lack of understanding often stems from a fear of the unknown!
When Kaba and his companions looked closely, they could see that the shadows beneath the feet of these beasts and giants would instantly distort before they were attacked by the black needles.
At the same time, their attacking movements would instantly freeze, as if their hands and feet were tied, and then they would be easily killed.
This situation is very similar to that of the level three lion we just saw; both have had their mobility restricted.
"It's Master Leo!"
The wizards' burning gazes were fixed on the secret chamber. This method was not their magic, but Leo's magic, which could control even a level three life form for a fleeting moment.
Their gazes first fell on Benji at the entrance to the secret chamber. At that moment, Benji was smugly wagging its three tails, as if it were treating the shocked expressions on their faces as dessert, and was carefully examining the differences on their faces.
Benji knew all too well what kind of attack these beast armies had suffered. This was Leo's Shadow Talent ability, which he himself had been the one to Leo about. Apart from Yaoyao, no one in this world understood Leo's talent better than himself.
"That's terrifying!"
Countless wizards exclaimed in unison that Leo, a First-Level Wizard, after the fortress was amplified to level two, first wiped out the entire native army within a five-kilometer radius, and then killed a level three creature with an attack intensity that could kill in an instant.
To be able to simultaneously wipe out such a large number of native troops while ensuring the fortress has sufficient energy is simply an anomaly among wizards, a freakish genius among wizards!
Leo's appearance directly elevated their self-image as wizards by a significant margin!
"I advise you to be less shocked and to focus on recovering your mana. Lord Leo's attack can only last for 30 seconds at most."
Seeing the three hundred wizards' shocked and out-of-control behavior, Benji spoke up to remind them.
Not all wizards are freaks. At least these three hundred wizards aren't particularly powerful. Even Lord Leo's slightest attack shocked them.
Benji wore a smile, his seemingly kind face concealing a deep contempt for these wizards. The wizards he once revered like tigers had one day turned out to be country bumpkins.
The damage inflicted by the three hundred wizards was less than that of Leo and Yaoyao combined; their strength was indeed far too weak!
"Smash these corpses into pieces and throw them far away to attract more native troops. Once there are enough, I will unleash another massive attack."
Leo's slightly hoarse voice came from the secret room. The wizards did not know Leo's intention, but they were completely impressed by what Leo Leo had done.
They no longer treated Leo as a Level One Lesser Wizard, but rather as a Level Three Great Wizard. They would carry out Leo's orders meticulously.
The corpses piled up below the fortress were smashed and thrown around, the thick stench of blood stimulating the taste buds of every wild beast.
Hungry as they were, they all followed the smell of blood and rushed over to join this lavish feast that required no effort whatsoever.
"Not enough, continue."
Leo looked at the number of beasts and giants around the fortress; they were far fewer than during the first atomic bomb explosion.
The instinctive fear that drives most of the indigenous army away from this place will cause them to unconsciously move away.
To create enough deterrence, Leo needed a large enough number of corpses to establish his reputation.
"That damned beast, daring to come here and eat all by itself."
A giant army wielding bronze weapons stormed in; this army of giants numbered over one hundred thousand.
There are two Level 3 Titans, each 30 meters tall; there are over 500 Level 2 Titans, each 8 meters tall; and the rest are all Level 1 Titans.
As soon as they appeared, they brandished their weapons and drove away the army of beasts that were devouring the corpses on the ground.
The ravenous army of giants will enjoy this feast all by themselves!
"One hundred thousand giants, that's enough, that's enough."
Yaoyao couldn't help but jump around on Leo's shoulder. If 100,000 giants died here, it would be enough to intimidate people for a while.
After all, the giants are the rulers of the Giant World. If 100,000 of them die at once, this place will become a forbidden zone for all native life, and none of them will dare to look around.
Leo had already withdrawn all his shadows, and the energy he had consumed was being rapidly replenished. Looking at the army of 100,000 hungry giants, he was starting to lose control.
An army of 100,000 giants is equivalent to an army of five times the size of a wild beast.
"Done."
Leo's consciousness flashed, and five small magic arrays outside the fortress were activated!
