Book 5: Chapter 63: Offense

Scarlet

But none of you need to worry about that for now, as the Voided Overlord wont be able to break into the universe for another several years at the least, King Oberon declares, breaking the tension that had filled the stadium a little bit. And our resident Warden will be taking care of it when it does arrive, wont she?

I cant help but feel quite a few gazes focused on me at that offhanded statement. Not to mention a slightly vindictive look on the Fae Kings face.

Rude.

Not my fault these competitions werent designed with the Red Plague in mind.

Well, putting that aside for now, I feel I should hopefully be able to reach the cap of Class V within the next several years.

Probably.

Depends on if I win this competition and get the ability to teleport across the universe.

Anyways, I turn my attention back to the tower down below as I see other competitors finally sending void creature at the tower. And its at that point that I realize that we were given a hundred more points to spend on this.

Unlike with the defense setup phase though, this time it specifically mentions that all points that arent spent will be removed after each tower defense.

So we dont get to just horde points from not attacking towers.

I focus on the tower itself. Instead of my tower, this one is a lot narrower with a large portion going outside of the tower and climbing up the sides of it. Meanwhile the interior parts of the tower dont actually last for very long before going outside.nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.

Oh, and the makeshift walls too. There were some of those offered along with the traps, but I didnt really use them much.

Not very many good spots to place them in my tower unlike this one.

I watch for a few more seconds before going ahead and spending my points on several Class 0 void creatures, a few Class I void creatures, two Class II void creatures, and a Class III void creature all in a single batch. Then I simply sit by and watch them all move forwards with intrigue.

The best way from what Ive seen to beat a defense in a tower defense game is for clumped together monsters, or void creatures in this case, with a mixture of strong and weak ones. Generally to have the weak ones take the hits and attention away from the strong ones as they all pass by the stronger towers. Then the strong ones will be set to move on through the tower after having passed by the difficult parts.

Assuming they dont have their defenses spread out, of course. But this tower has most of its defenses on the interior floors, with only some traps and a single layer of defense at the end of the towers exterior area.

And it helps in this case that the Class III broodmothers give birth to a bunch of weaker void creatures to buff up that little wall around them.

Although I cant help but notice that the babies are far weaker than the purchased Class 0 void creatures. Which proves that they are, in fact, babies.

Not a hard thing to figure out if you try.

That babies would be weaker than adults.

After my little force gets taken down along the way, I go ahead and send another, slightly altered force of void creatures now that Ive gotten a bit more of an understanding of the monsters themselves. And slowly but surely, along with the assistance of all the other competitors, the void creatures make it through the tower all the way to the core before shattering it.

Then a large number flashes above the tower stating that a little less than four minutes had gone by before they lost, following which another tower appears with a different surroundings.

And the process starts all over again.

This is fun.
