Chapter 814 Riot
what's the situation?
Luo Jun frowned and was about to go forward to check when a loud noise was heard. A huge sand worm suddenly emerged from the fortress, overturning buildings and carrying away a large number of soldiers and mercenaries!

"That's... a monster from the fiftieth floor?" Luo Jun exclaimed in surprise, "How did it get out?"

It wasn't just sandworms; a whooshing sound arose as swarms of desert locusts flew out from the center of the fortress. Then, the fortress walls began to crumble, and beetles larger than tanks crashed through the walls and burst forth. Following closely behind were giant scorpions longer than buses, brandishing their massive pincers and venomous stingers, relentlessly slaughtering any soldiers and merchants they encountered…

Admittedly, most buildings in the game world possess indestructible characteristics, but that is only a part of the original worldview... Simply put, only the buildings planned by the creator of this world are protected by the rules.

However, this fortress was built by people to defend against the monsters that emerged from the Tower of Babel. As a human creation, it is not indestructible!
Otherwise, if a thin wall could completely block the Tower of Babel, why bother with a complicated strategy guide?
Luo Jun frowned, rushed forward, killed a monster, and checked the loot. Yes, it was indeed a monster from the fiftieth floor!

I had indeed heard that if a certain floor is not conquered for a long time, the monsters above it will start to multiply wildly and occupy the lower floors until they break out of the Tower of Babel.

But now it's only about ten days until the fiftieth floor opens. He and the Ice Queen went to the fortieth floor yesterday and there was nothing unusual. How come there's a problem after only one day?
At this moment, Luo Jun noticed that magical light was emanating from another direction. Turning his head, he saw a large number of mercenaries fighting against the suddenly appearing monster in an organized manner.

Their formation was neat and orderly, their movements were measured, and the person in charge of command was very capable. They killed several monsters with a single spell, clearly indicating that they were not an ordinary mercenary group.

"That's the official conquest force!" At that moment, a voice reminded Luo Jun. He turned around and saw that the Ice Queen had arrived with the "cerebral thrombosis commando team".

"What's going on?" Luo Jun was still confused.

"Yesterday afternoon, the Emperor ordered the conquest army to launch another attack on the fiftieth floor," the Ice Queen said. "The conquest army could only forcibly organize an attack on the leader's room, but ultimately failed. However, this failure activated a hidden mechanism on the fiftieth floor."

“Each time we fail to conquer the boss’s room, the rampage time on that floor will be shortened! Three failed attempts caused the fiftieth floor to erupt immediately, and the monsters inside went from the fiftieth floor to the first floor overnight!” The Ice Queen said, “We just received this news and were notified to come and provide support.”

"Is that so?" Luo Jun frowned, then looked up at the towering Tower of Babel.

"Ice Queen, bring everyone with me!" As soon as he finished speaking, a giant golden beetle pounced on him. Luo Jun raised his hand and unleashed a bolt of lightning, which struck the beetle squarely on the head. The powerful current made the monster tremble all over. At the same time, another bolt of lightning shot out from the monster's body and hit a giant scorpion a dozen meters behind it!
Chain Lightning, an expert-level storm spell, has its power and number of bounces affected by the storm spell's level. An ordinary mage would typically bounce it three or four times, but Luo Jun's lightning struck over a dozen monsters in a row, instantly killing each one – its power was truly terrifying!
With him leading the way, the group arrived at the foot of the Tower of Babel, entered the gate, and found that the grassland on the first floor was also filled with various desert monsters. The town built by humans had completely fallen and turned into ruins.

Upon seeing someone enter, the monsters roared and pounced.

The members of the "Cerebral Thrombosis Commando Team" were all highly skilled. Facing the charging monster, they unleashed their attacks and skills, instantly killing it. At this moment, a buzzing sound came from the sky, and swarms of desert locusts, comparable in size to small helicopters, flew in, covering the sky and even bringing a terrifying sandstorm.

The Ice Queen snorted coldly, raised her hand, and an irresistible chill spread out, instantly covering the entire layer. Even the locusts in the sky were frozen into ice sculptures, which crashed to the ground and shattered into pieces. The sandstorm also stopped.

After defeating the monsters on this level, the group immediately set off for the Goblin King's tombstone. As they passed through the frozen ruins of the town, Luo Jun noticed a shield lying next to a collapsed wall.

The shield was painted with a giant dragon in a unique style. It looked somewhat familiar; it was the shield of the mercenary squad leader who had led him and Murong Wei to the Tower of Babel on their first visit.

Luo Jun merely frowned slightly, sighed inwardly, and didn't linger his gaze for long.

Fortunately, despite the riot on the fiftieth floor, the Tower of Babel's teleportation mechanism still worked. Luo Jun channeled his magic power, and everyone was instantly teleported to the forty-ninth floor.

The fiftieth floor was still swarming with monsters, while the forty-ninth floor had the most severe monster accumulation. Upon arriving at this floor, Mu Ning warned, "There are at least several thousand monsters entrenched on this floor, almost all of them from the fiftieth floor. The native monsters of the forty-ninth floor have basically been wiped out..."

"Monsters can fight amongst themselves?" Luo Jun frowned.

"The monsters at different levels don't seem to be allies," Shi Lei remarked, turning to see a giant beetle taking flight in the distance. "An unfamiliar monster type... Mu Ning, use your Eye of Insight to see if many new monsters have appeared on this level? They look formidable; their attributes are probably very high!"

"The Eye of Insight?" Mu Ning glanced at Luo Jun and swallowed hard. "I dare not use it."

"Huh?" the others asked, puzzled. "What's wrong?"

“If you use it, you probably won’t be able to see anything…” Mu Ning shook her head.

"It doesn't matter." Luo Jun chuckled. "Never mind the attributes. Everyone, stand behind me and protect yourselves!"

As he spoke, he walked forward.

Their arrival also attracted the attention of the monsters. Having killed all the native creatures and having nothing left to eat, the desert monsters rushed towards Luo Jun and his group.

Looking at the surging, frenzied monsters, Luo Jun smiled slightly, chanted a spell, and a huge magic circle appeared in the sky. Then, one after another, meteorites burning with flames and wrapped in storm lightning fell from the sky!

A meteorite fell from the sky. It was the first three-element fusion magic that Luo Jun had ever obtained. Based on his current magic level, the power of this meteorite was close to 10,000 points!

Ten thousand points doesn't seem like much, at least not enough to instantly kill monsters on the 50th floor that often have tens of thousands of health points.

But don't forget that every meteorite explodes upon landing, and the rampaging elements cause widespread damage!
One meteorite deals 10,000 damage. If you are hit by two meteorites, you will suffer 20,000 damage. If there are ten meteorites, the damage will be increased to 100,000!

This move also has another feature: as long as you have enough mana, you can summon meteors without limit!

When the first few meteorites appeared, no one noticed anything, but soon they realized something was wrong.

With each meteorite that appeared, a small ripple would appear on the enormous magic circle, like raindrops falling into a pond. At first, it was just a few scattered raindrops, then the raindrops became denser, turning into a light drizzle. Soon, the drizzle turned into a heavy rain, and the heavy rain became increasingly rapid, turning into a torrential downpour!

Just like a pond bubbling from being drenched by a torrential rain, the magic circle that almost covered the entire sky was now obscured by dense, layered ripples, and the patterns of the magic circle could no longer be seen!

Each of these meteorites that fell to the ground could cause widespread damage. Under such carpet bombing, the monsters that kept charging forward would be hit by several or even a dozen meteorites, and their health bars would evaporate instantly!
Even if some of them were particularly tough and could withstand the first round of attacks, the magic circle in the sky did not disappear and continued to rain down meteors. As they advanced through this meteor shower, the further they went, the more damage they suffered. In the end, no monster could survive!
"How many meteorites are there...?" Mulan Shi stared wide-eyed in disbelief. She had read the description of this magic book and knew that it would require a massive amount of magic to summon a large number of meteorites... But now, the meteor shower in the sky could not be simply described as "a large number"!

"How much magic does he actually have?" Mulanshi looked at Luo Jun, played by Ashlia, beside her and found him looking completely matter-of-fact.

"Aren't you surprised?" Mulan asked doubtfully.

"Oh..." Ashlia reacted and immediately feigned surprise: "Yeah, that's terrifying power... and mana, just how much magic does he have?"

Mulan Shi looked at Luo Jun again, this time using her Eye of Insight, and found that his mana bar had indeed decreased, but only by less than one-tenth...

Moreover, this small section is slowly recovering at a rate visible to the naked eye.

As for the numerous monsters on the scene, they had already been completely vaporized under such terrifying firepower, turning into materials and corpses scattered all over the ground...

"Phew..." Luo Jun let out a long breath. He looked at his mana and saw that it was clearly depleted.

"A one-time blue deduction has a pretty noticeable effect... but it was also a bit too reckless... more than 90% of the meteorites were actually wasted. I should have been more restrained."

After clearing out the monsters, Luo Jun turned around and looked at the others, only to find that they all had expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

"Just...what was that?"

"Oh, a fusion spell." Luo Jun's tone was casual. "Just learned it, just trying it out. Let's go, to the fiftieth floor!"

The group traversed the forty-nine floors, constantly battling monsters surging down from above, until finally they spotted the lord's tombstone in the distance.

"Almost there!" Duan Feilan was overjoyed and rushed forward first, but just then, the tombstone flashed and a huge figure suddenly appeared!

"This is..." Duan Feilan gasped the moment he saw the figure!
A colossal body as tall as a seven-story building, a head the size of an elephant, and a massive spiked club in its hand…

Isn't this the guard in the lord's room? And it's the second one, the one with over three million HP and extremely high physical defense!

"It's that guy again!" Duan Feilan, who had been running incredibly fast, immediately turned back...

"The Imperial Guards have come out too!" Shi Lei shouted. "This means that it won't be long before the lord begins his descent!"

"Should we wait for the lord to come down as well?" Mulan Shi suggested loudly. "The desert environment of the fiftieth floor should be its home ground. If it's on this floor, the lord's strength should be weakened. Moreover, this floor is more humid, which will allow the Ice Queen to better utilize her abilities!"

Others agreed and suggested retreating and waiting, but Luo Jun resolutely walked forward.

"No need, follow me and keep going!" With that, Luo Jun raised his right hand towards the giant monster in the distance.

"The official strategy team has already figured it out!" Jennifer, with her red hair, reminded us, "The weakness of this monster is that you need to heat it up with fire magic first, and then use water magic, or preferably ice magic, to create an extreme temperature difference, which will weaken its defense and allow you to kill it with physical attacks! Otherwise, its physical armor is extremely high, and it also has other damage reduction effects, so ordinary attacks are almost ineffective."

"Understood," Luo Jun replied, but his raised right hand did not condense into flames, nor did it reveal any elemental energy...

"What are you planning to do...?" Before anyone could understand Luo Jun's intentions, he had already made his move!
His figure vanished in a flash, and at the same time, the elephant-headed monster's head exploded! Everyone clearly saw that Ye, who had flown up, punched the elephant-headed monster in the forehead!

"They actually went straight for A?" Everyone was shocked, but the next moment, their eyes widened even more.

The long health bar on the elephant-headed monster's head was instantly emptied, and its massive body crashed to the ground...

Looking at Ye again, after landing, he calmly picked up the monster's corpse, then picked up a thick spiked club, turned to them, and asked, "Which of you knows how to use this?"

"Uh..." Everyone looked at each other, and finally Shi Lei stepped forward: "Can I have it...?"

"Take it!" Luo Jun tossed the spiked club over, and Shi Lei caught it. It was a top-grade golden legendary weapon, far superior to his previous hammer in every aspect.

At this moment, Luo Jun had already arrived at the Lord's Tombstone on the forty-ninth floor.

“I’m going up now. If nothing unexpected happens, no more monsters will come down.” Luo Jun turned around and looked at them, casually killing another large beetle that appeared from beside the tombstone.

Are you waiting for me here, or are you coming with me?
