Chapter 738 Fortress Porky
"W-What was that?!!" asked a dwarf in confusion.
"T-That's…" replied another dwarf.
The same situation happens to all the dwarves in the area. They clearly felt strong energy passing through in a split second but couldn't catch a glimpse. However, one thing is sure this fast attack has an extensive range until it leaves their perception.
In other words, this fast attack keeps going without end. The most surprising thing is that most people here are at least fifth-grade strong combatants. Their perception could reach at least dozens of kilometers wide though it is not precise.
Still, it means the monster attack could reach more than a hundred kilometers or more, making them fear it. In fact, the last monster attack [Dark Phenomenon] passed to the outer wall of Undermine Council, which should be at least a thousand kilometers from here.
Furthermore, this attack happens instantaneously and fast without anyone reacting. This completely breaks the norm, where someone needs to gather energy before releasing this attack.
In the meantime, both Nabe and Lotord get a better vision of the attack and have cold sweat all over their body. Using his sword artifact, the monster cut through everything in a split second. The horrifying thing for them is that Warchief Might also receives this terrifying attack.
Now, the two seventh grade couldn't even find a single trace of this mighty lion beastman. They know how absurd Warchief Might's body endurance and physical strength are.
In some way, it could be called an invincible physical body. Yet, the Warcheif receives this attack without being able to fight back.
"This will be harder than I thought." said Nabe with a more grim expression.
Meanwhile, Angus and the others are having another difficulty. The Storm Armor from Silvia may protect them from the incoming thunderstorm. However, waves of minions are still coming from the gate, targeting them.
The minions come flying from below and the distorted portal itself towards them. Fortunately, the dwarf is good at defensive battle and attack. They suddenly brought dozens of small magic cannons and installed them on top of Giant Porky.
Besides magic cannons, there are many other varieties of artillery weapons, such as ballista, flamethrower, magic guns, or advanced weapons like rune cannons.
Furthermore, this weapon is installed on Porky's back and every part of their body, such as his feet and side body. The Giant Porky turns into a real flying fortress. With all this artillery, the dwarf starts to shoot down all the incoming minions without a problem.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNow, they now experience the true advantage that Angus and the others had before. As long as they shoot the incoming enemies before they land on Porky's body, they can avoid direct confrontation and move forwards without obstruction.
'No wonder it was very hard to catch them before.' thought all the dwarves.
Suddenly, everyone notices the spike rain is getting denser and thicker than before.
"Master, I am sorry. I couldn't fend off all the thick spikes." warned Silvia.
"Don't worry about it." said Angus before nodding at Jayna.
Knowing Silvia's insidious nature, Angus never entirely relied on her in the first place. It is already good this high elf could help them this far. Facing the enormous and thick spikes, Jayna takes out a crimson bird statue in her hand.
Then, she threw it outside casually. *Crack* *BOOM* *PPIIIIIKK* The crimson bird turns into a giant firebird and breaks all the incoming thick spikes. This giant firebird is the one that Jayna created before.
It is a waste to dispel the firebirds, especially after they absorb a lot of dense fire elementals from the previous [Solar Flare]. Since the firebird is her creation, she can change its form, such as a ball-size statue.
As a result, the firebird becomes a crimson statue that is easy to store and carry. The firebird flies in the surrounding Porky, fighting against the incoming lightning and spike rain.
Her flying speed is also top-notch as an aerial elemental creature made by a phoenix. It could easily catch up with the giant Porky.
The fiery crimson firebird illuminates the dark sky polluted by space distortion and spike rain. This attracts not only the minions but also all the surrounding dwarves.
"Isn't that the giant pig we should have caught before?!!" asked one of the nearby dwarves below.
"Yes.. Wait, isn't that our kind?" asked another dwarf as he caught the dwarves on top of the giant Porky.
The same reaction also occurs in all the dwarf groups nearby. More dwarves also join the mobile fortress Porky and improve its defensive artillery. Be it enchanting Porky's Armor or adding more defensive weapons, the dwarf works without even saying a single word.
This sudden development is not surprising to Angus since he knows the dwarf race is like simple men gathering together when they are having fun. When they find something exciting and a brilliant idea, they will give them a hundred percent to do it.
With their expertise in crafting, Porky's giant armor slowly improved. This scene is also witnessed by Anna, who is munching her snack while occasionally blinking her eyes.
"Anna, what's wrong?" asked Angus.
Angus knows Anna's habit of blinking continuously when thinking or trying to understand something.
"Porky is getting stronger?" asked Anna back in confusion.
"Isn't it great? Or you don't want it?" asked Angus.
"Huh?? But Porky will become a lazy bum later." replied Anna.
"Lazy bum?" asked Angus.
"Yeah. Anna is getting stronger and becoming lazier. Mira also likes that. The lazy Porky will become lazier now. What if Porky becomes too lazy and stops living? Anna will be sad." grumbled Anna.
"Err… I think you are just overthinking it. Besides, it is just temporary. We could always take these off later." said Angus.
"Really?!!" asked Anna.
"Yes, Anna. This armor stuff is just temporary." said Jayna from the side.
"Yay!! Porky, isn't it great? Porky will no longer become lazier. Wait… Wasn't Porky already a lazy pig before? Welp… No matter. Sleeping time!!" said Anna before taking out her fluffy ball.
After saying that, Anna immediately sleeps on top of Porky's head without worrying about all the chaos in the surrounding. Seeing this, Angus and Jayna could only shake their heads.
Although Anna is quite sensible lately, it doesn't mean she is cured of being a muddlehead. She is still very random. One moment she wants something. The other moment she wants another thing.
In the end, Angus and Jayna could only give her a blanket, not wake her up. There is still some time before they reach the colossal monster place. Hence, it is okay for Anna to sleep now. Besides, they could still handle the current situation without a problem.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs the Porky moves forwards, the spike rain becomes denser in shape and frequency. Moreover, the lightning also continuously hit the Porky giant body. Silvia needs all her concentration just to maintain the protective Storm Armor.
However, this is nothing to the joint effort of the dwarves. The thicker spike will be shooted down before being shattered by Firebird. As for the thunderstorm, Silvia is solely focused on handling it. The only slight problem is the monster's minions.
The minions not only come with a variety of different elements but also various sizes. Some are one meter tall, while others are up to tens of meters tall.
tall. This not only surprises the dwarf but also Angus and Jayna.
They know the portal this minion comes from is smaller than these "Wait… That's… How could it come out from the portal?!!" shouted one of the dwarves in surprise.
Not far from them, a monster minion is at least a hundred meters tall. This not only surprises the dwarf but also Angus and Jayna.
They know the portal this minion comes from is smaller than these monster minions. Yet, it still has a humongous body.
If not for the lack of dreadful aura, they may have considered this giant minion the colossal monster in the distance. Suddenly, the giant monster grabs the surrounding black lightning bolt and is ready to shoot Porky.
"Incoming!!" warned one of the dwarves' captains.
Angus and Jayna no longer stay passive and move. Using his fast mind and [Analyze], Angus creates a large magic circle in front of him towards the giant minion [4th Circle - Inferno]. A massive wave of fire erupted from the magic circle and started roasting the giant minion.
However, this attack only makes the giant minions step back while still gathering black lightning in his hand. *Snap* Without wasting any moment, Angus snapped his hand to create a strong explosion using the fire elemental [Firecast - Explosion]. *BOOOOM*
The giant minion blasted away and started to shatter into pieces of rock. At this moment, Angus notices some rocks are more significant than others and formed into smaller minions.
'They could be grouped together like this?!! We really need to stop that portal.' thought Angus warily.
*GROOOARR* *GROOOARR* As they move forwards, they find more large-size minions formed from smaller-size minions. These large minions may be slower than the smaller ones, but their attack is broader and more destructive.
This makes Giant Porky harder to move forward. Sometimes, it even needs to make a far detour to avoid being a group of large-size minions. Angus and the others could handle a few, but a group of them would only make them get surrounded.
By then, some smaller minions will land on giant Porky and they will slowly lose their air maneuverability. They should avoid this group of minions.
