My Space-Time System

Chapter 354: Die already!

“What is that thing and how had it been undetected this whole time?” Blake asked.

Having seen the point where the undulating movements had begun and how long the beasts were. It was clear that the beasts had been there for some time now.

[After analyzing the info you have so far gotten from the beast section of the library. I have come to a conclusion that these should be King rank Killer earthworms.] The system reported its analysis.

King rank Killer earthworms were tier 2 magical beasts that awakened the earth element. They had an average body length of 50-70 meters that was covered by a darkish-purple armor that possessed retractable 2-meter-long spikes.

Although they didn’t have eyes, they possessed insane sensory abilities that made them aware of how deep they were in the ground and gave them a 360-degree vision of every part of their body.

They had crazy healing ability and if one was able to cut through its body. The Killer earthworm possessed the ability to regenerate a decapitated limb in a matter of seconds.

(AN: It is a Myth that when an earthworm is cut in half, it becomes 2 new worms. The head of the worm would regenerate the lost part, but the other half doesn’t possess any vital organs so it will end up dying. So don’t go cutting up poor earthworms ??

.....

[As for how they went undetected I have no clue.] The system said.

They had no idea that the newly formed forest wasn’t just any normal forest nor only a resting place for the beast army.

The forest was created by the tier 2 elder Treant alongside other treants and was enchanted with a concealment spell that was strong enough to hide thousands of beasts from the senses of the tracking devices of the human army.

This would have been easily spotted by either Colonel Darius or the peak demigods, but the new swarm of beasts had arrived at the area only after they were engaged in a battle with the tier 2 elder treant and tier 1 Hippodon respectively.

The sudden undulated movement of the killer earthworms marked the beginning of the full-scale attack on the humans as twice the number of beasts they had been battling so far swarmed out of the forest.

The magic cannons quickly changed their target to the killer earthworms and began unleashing everything they had as they tried to stop them from getting to the city barrier.

BOOM! BOOM!

Continuous explosions rang out as more than 20 meteor bursts from the magic cannons were aimed at each killer earthworm, but the attacks didn’t seem effective in stopping their charge.

“Oh Boy!” The heart rate of everyone on the wall had doubled as they watched the killer earthworms inching closer to the wall.

“The barrier is as good as gone.” Luciano stated as he saw the ground under which the killer earthworms were swimming, soak most of the damages dealt by the magic cannons.

Just like Luciano had predicted, the killer earthworms had made it to the city barrier and had begun to act.

Their densely spiked heads lunged at the city barrier, as they manipulated the earth element to rotate their bodies underground at extreme speeds, turning them into living drills.

3 of them were aimed at the lower parts of the barrier while the other 2 attacked the upper part of the barrier.Their initial contact with the orange barrier violently shook the ground as they began drilling through the barrier.

‘I can feel the vibrations from here.’ Ripples were appearing on the city barrier as more energy was being supplied to the areas being attacked by the killer worms.

The mana cannons changed their targets to the heads of the king rank beasts, but they were already prepared for this.

Parts of the ground below began breaking apart as they gathered to the head of the killer worms to form an extra layer of protection.

CRACK!

Visible cracks began appearing in the areas being drilled, causing the hearts of those watching to tighten with the appearance of a new crack.

CRASH!

A few seconds later, 5 different parts of the city barrier simultaneously gave in to the destructive power of the killer earthworms due to the damage being greater than the mana being supplied.

They didn’t stop there, the humans watched as the 2 at the top of the barrier began drilling at other parts of the barrier, while the other 3 continued moving forward.

“Get out of the way!” The humans screamed as the 3 killer earthworms were earth-swimming towards the wall’s barrier at terrifying speeds.

“Help!”

The screams of those unable to make it out of the way in time were heard as multiple spikes of the killer worm punctured through their body before being dragged along with them.

“Shit!”

Blake along with every student on the wall looked away to not see their gruesome deaths, but when their eyes had returned to the battlefield the 3 killer earthworms were already lunging at the wall.

BOOM!

“What the hell do we do now?!” Brian couldn’t help but ask as they regained their balance from the quakes caused by the collision with the wall’s barrier.

“Fire at it!” The leader of the ash corps team to their right screamed.

“Let me take over.” Blake said to Luciano who handed over the control to the elemental battle array.

He had no clue if their attacks would deal any damage to the killer earthworm considering the level difference, but one thing for sure was that penetrative spells were better in such situations.

Every living and magical thing in and on the wall fired their strongest spells at the 3 king rank beasts to make sure that they didn’t breach the wall’s barrier.

“Fucking die already!” The humans screamed as they were literally giving out everything they had.
