Chapter 47: War Machine
After hearing Betty’s words, Occam’s expression instantly became serious.
Thousands of human residents lived here. Although they were NPCs, they were all data in the game.
However, under the 100% simulation of Game of Gods, they all seemed real.
These people had their own names and thoughts.
They had interpersonal relationships and their own preferences.
In a way, they were living people. However, they lived in the game and not in the real world.
It would be impossible for Occam to stand by and watch so many innocent humans being killed by demonic creatures.
Although he was lazy, he had his own principles.
“Betty, hurry up!”
Occam growled.
Betty immediately sped up and dived straight toward Dragon Domain Town.
The gigantic body of the Red Dragon accelerated in an instant, leaving a long shadow in the air and landed not far from the entrance of the Dragon Domain Town.
Occam jumped off the dragon’s back and looked around cautiously.
This small town was the largest gathering place for humans in the Dragon Region. There were thousands of residents living here, so logically speaking, it should be extremely lively.
At this moment, the surroundings were completely silent.
“Have the demonic creatures invaded the town?”
Occam frowned, feeling vaguely uneasy.
After all, the scene before them was truly abnormal.
Betty also transformed into her human form and followed closely behind Occam.
The two of them carefully observed their surroundings and walked towards the Dragon Domain Town.
After advancing more than ten steps.
Bang!
Occam hit his head against a wall.
He felt a slight pain on his forehead, as if he had been electrocuted.
Fortunately, he had reduced the sensitivity of the nerves in the game to 1%. Otherwise, it would have been quite painful.
What was that?
Occam frowned and looked forward.
However, there was nothing in front of him. Where was the wall?
Then, he carefully moved forward and touched a transparent barrier that was blocking his path.
“Magic array!” Betty said in surprise.
“This is the magic array that Lady Shuang Yu set up in the human town. The magic array is still there, which means that the residents of the town are fine!”
Betty cast a spell and shot out a ball of dazzling light from her hand into the magic circle in front of her. Only then did the huge golden array slowly appear.
The round magic circle covered the entire town. There were some strange symbols and complicated patterns on it.
“Guardian Magic Array”
Details: A high-level magic array that can resist the attacks of demonic creatures. It is a magic spell that only dragons can use.
Integrity: 55%
Introduction: A magic array set up by Lady Shuang Yu in the Dragon Domain Town three years ago.
Note: Ancient magic of the Dragon Race!
Occam was relieved to see the message.
He was not too late.
Since the protective magic array left by Lady Shuang Yu was still there, it meant that the town had not been broken through and the residents inside were still safe.
But soon, a loud noise came from the other side of the town.
“Rumble!!!”
“Rumble!!!”
Accompanied by a loud sound, the land and the nearby mountain range began to shake as if there was an earthquake.
But Occam knew it was definitely not an earthquake.
On the other side of the town, a violent and intense Demonic Qi soared into the sky and filled the air, transforming into a diagram of a raging demon.
At the same time, the most intense reaction was the magic array in front of him.
At the same time that loud explosion was heard, the golden barrier started to tremble violently.
Ripples appeared on the surface of the magic array and spread out in all directions.
“Someone is attacking the magic array!” Betty said urgently.
Occam nodded solemnly. He could clearly see that the integrity of the protective shield was decreasing.
Integrity: 45%
Integrity: 40%
Integrity: 35%
…
With every loud sound, one could clearly see that the degree of completion of the magic array was continuously decreasing.
Occam knew that if that number dropped to zero, the residents of Dragon Domain Town would be in danger!
“Betty, let’s go to the other side of town.”
With that, Betty transformed back into the Red Dragon and Occam leaped onto her back.
“Rumble!” Loud explosions continued to ring out.
Each time, there was a huge commotion.
Occam had no doubt that without Lady Shuang Yu’s protective shield, the town would have been reduced to rubble.
Betty flew high into the sky and directly passed the town and arrived at the other side.
Just as they guessed, there was an entire demon army here. It was so dark that they could not see the end.
What was even more shocking was that there was a huge creature in this demon army that Occam had never seen before!
“What’s that?”
In the center of the demon army, a 30-meter-tall colossus stood erect, revealing a long circular pipe facing the direction of Dragon Domain Town. From the pipe, blazing demonic energy was continuously emitting.
It looked like a cannon.
This was the first time Occam had seen something like this in a game.
“I didn’t expect the demons to bring war machines,” Betty said in disbelief.
“War machines?” Occam repeated.
This was the first time he had heard of this term in the game but he could completely understand it.
Betty explained quickly to Occam.
Perhaps out of fear, Betty’s voice trembled.
“Legend has it that the war machines were made by the Demon Confucian Race, who were the best at making war machines. There are a total of 18 war machines and each war machine is purely for killing and destruction.”
“This war machine in front of me should only be a replica. The prototype should be the eleventh-ranked Magic Maneuver Cannon!”
“The Magic Motion Annihilation Cannon has a special attribute, that is… cannot be chosen!”
Betty glanced at Occam.
Occam knew what she meant, too.
Not being chosen meant that most non-directional attacks could not destroy this war machine.
The only thing that could cause damage to it was a targeted skill or AOE skill.
The two skills that Occam relied on most in battle, “Defensive Counterattack” and “Sacrifice”, among which “Sacrifice” was AOE damage.
On the other hand, “Defensive Counterattack” required a specific target to be effective.
Which means…
“Defensive Counterattack” was ineffective against this war machine!
