Chapter 8: The Magic Tower

“Hurry up and interrupt it!” Thomas naturally recognized the origin of the scroll and quickly spoke to the archer beside him.

“Alright!” The archer did not say another word. He turned around and shot an arrow.

Whoosh!

The arrow pierced through Skeleton Mage Hall’s arm in the blink of an eye.

Skeleton Mage Hall’s hand trembled, and the scroll fell to the ground. The runes on it dimmed, and the teleportation was interrupted.

“Welcome back, Lord Skeleton Mage Hall.” Thomas even smiled at Skeleton Mage Hall and cupped his chest, full of mockery.

“Bastard!”

Skeleton Mage Hall was furious. It wanted to pick up the scroll on the ground again, but O’Neill had already arrived.

O’Neill sent a flying kick at Skeleton Mage Hall’s body.

Skeleton Mage Hall was sent flying, rolling five to six meters before it stopped its momentum.

Before the dizzy Skeleton Mage Hall could get up, O’Neill rushed in front of Skeleton Mage Hall in one swift step. He kicked Skeleton Mage Hall’s back with his foot that was 47 yards long.

He directly stepped on Skeleton Mage Hall’s back.

“Despicable human! You dare to hurt me, the honorable…”

Before Skeleton Mage Hall could finish its words, the spear in O’Neill’s hand arrived.

Poof!

The sharp spear pierced through Skeleton Mage Hall’s skull, and the sharp tip of the spear came out from its mouth.

The soul fire in Skeleton Mage Hall’s eyes flickered twice before it suddenly extinguished, and its body instantly disintegrated into a pile of broken white bones.

A green magic core fell to the ground.

“Well done!” Thomas, who was standing on the Arrow Tower, waved his fist excitedly.

“Keep up the good work. Kill all those damn Skeleton Soldiers. Don’t let any of them escape. Archers, kill those who run far away first. Don’t let any of them escape.”

“Yes, Sir Thomas.”

After receiving Thomas’ order, O’Neill and the archers began to speed up the clearing of those Skeleton Soldiers.

Very soon, the few remaining Skeleton Soldiers were all killed by them. Even the Skeleton Knight who was nailed to the ground had its head pierced through by O’Neill.

“O’Neill, take your men and patrol the area. See if there are any remaining dark creatures around. If there are few of them, destroy them. Bring back the magic cores. If there are more, don’t act rashly. Bring back the information.”

“Yes, Sir Thomas.”

O’Neill took his men to patrol.

Thomas began to clean up the battlefield.

In the second attack, there were a total of 25 Skeleton Soldiers, two Skeleton Knights, and one Skeleton Mage.

However, only 11 level 1 magic cores and three level 2 magic cores dropped.

The drop rate barely reached 50%.

‘The drop rate is a little low. It seems that when we have enough supplies in the future, I will need to build a few buildings to increase the drop rate,’ Thomas thought as he fiddled with the magic cores.

However, what he needed to do now was to speed up the improvement of his camp.

Although he had killed Skeleton Mage Hall and all the Skeleton Soldiers that came with the team, who knew if Skeleton Mage Hall had left any men behind in the dark?

Moreover, this was a world with magic. Who knew if there were any strange spells that could predict the life and death of a particular person, or even know the murderer of the other party?

Therefore, Thomas had to be prepared to resist the other party’s revenge.

Even if no one knew that he was the real murderer of Skeleton Mage Hall, in order to resist the invasion of the surrounding dark creatures, a defense had to be set up.

What was worse was that a few days later, it would be the night of a full moon.

According to human observations, on the night of a full Blood Moon, the strength of the dark creatures would be greatly increased, and their personalities would become more irritable. A large number of dark creatures would rush out of the black fog and attack the human settlements.

If he could not build the defense of the camp before then, it would be difficult for him to defend against the dark creatures.

However, he still needed to consider how to build the camp. After all, he did not have many magic cores at the moment, so he had to use them sparingly.

Thomas first took out three magic cores and placed them on the ground, preparing to build a camp bonfire.

[Campfire: Level 1 camp building. After it is built, all the subsidiary structures of the camp will be slowly repaired, and the subsidiary members will also slowly recover their stamina.]

Thomas’ Arrow Tower had been damaged by Skeleton Mage Hall a lot. With the Campfire, the Arrow Tower could self-repair.

Although the speed was a little slow, it saved Thomas a lot of materials.

[Campfire discovered. Triggered Super Enhancement. Increasing…]

[Campfire increased to Great Lighthouse.]

[Great Lighthouse: Level 3 campsite construction. After completion, all the ancillary buildings of the campsite will be quickly repaired. The ancillary personnel will also recover their stamina quickly, and their recovery speed will be doubled. All dark creatures that enter the light range of the Great Lighthouse will be weakened. The specific rate of weakening will depend on the strength of the dark creatures.]

The simple Campfire that was originally built on the ground instantly turned into a huge lighthouse that was eight meters tall. The raging flames burned in the lighthouse.

The bright lighthouse lit up the surrounding 300 meters.

The damaged Arrow Tower was also being repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the damaged Arrow Tower was repaired. Thomas estimated that in another one or two minutes, the Arrow Tower would be completely repaired.

“This lighthouse is amazing.” Thomas’ eyes lit up.

With this Great Lighthouse, he was not afraid of the opponent fighting a war of attrition.

As long as the Great Lighthouse was here, no matter how many dark creatures there were, he could slowly kill them all.

Since there was a recovery lighthouse, then he could build a defensive structure. Or he could build a Magic Tower.

When he was in the city, he had seen the destructive power of a Magic Tower.

In terms of damage, the Magic Tower was undoubtedly the best.

However, although the Magic Tower was good, it needed the magic cores dropped by mages as the core to make it.

Thomas happened to have one in his hands.

“Three level 1 magic cores and one mage’s magic core to make a Magic Tower!”

Thomas placed the four magic cores in the position to be built.

The magic array shone, and a white cylindrical tower stood up from the magic array.

The tower was shaped like a cylinder, and above it was a green magic sphere floating in the air. That was the attack core of the Magic Tower.

On the wall of the Magic Tower, runes were engraved on the wall, and it looked very mysterious.

[Level 1 Magic Tower — Fireball Tower has been discovered. Super Enhancement triggered. Increasing…]

[Level 1 Magic Tower — Fireball Tower has been upgraded to Level 3 Magic Tower — Continuous Fireball Tower.]

[Continuous Fireball Tower: Level 3 Magic Tower. Fire five Fireballs consecutively at once, or fire one Super Fireball at once. It can cause magic damage to all dark creatures of Level 3 and below. When the Super Fireball hits the target, it will explode and cause splash damage to the surrounding dark creatures.]
