Why is my territory in a 2D anime art style?

Fortunately, Sui An's vision of connecting with Jian Xing was not obscured by the gray fog, and he could still lock onto the source stone light spots inside his body.

As soon as the 30 seconds were up, he locked onto the newly appeared rock golems and fired another sword at the densest spot. This sword strike was once again remarkably effective, directly disrupting the subsequent wave of rock golems.

Only a small number of the leading rock golems were mixed in with the Shadow Lizard's group.

After completing this sword strike, Sui An swiftly collected all the source stones on the ground and quickly returned to the core of his territory, where there were a total of 18 level 3 source stones, which he threw into the core.

But what he was most concerned about at that moment was how many times he could unleash such a terrifying attack!

Using the bird's-eye view provided by the Sword Star, the three level-four professionals did not rush out at this moment. After sensing that such attacks could be released continuously, they automatically chose to defend.

The time came again. He focused on the core energy, and at this moment, his territory's core energy still had 39%.

For his third strike, Sui An did not target the rear half of the rock golem because their numbers from the source realm were no longer dense enough. Instead, he struck the part of the mixed shadow lizard and the rock golem.

The Flame Sword itself doesn't have a large attack range; it's more like an offensive weapon. However, the Firebird Impact, which spans over ten meters, has an absurdly large range, completely halting the surging Shadow Lizard army.

At this point, the Shadow Lizard's group was also broken up, and the pressure in front of the wall was greatly reduced!

Three level-four ability users stood on the wall to help clear the area, and the ability shield was not under much pressure in the short term.

Sui An also confirmed how much energy his attack had consumed: 10%!

That's equivalent to 24 level 1 Originium, or 6 level 3 Originium!

After the elemental statue is upgraded to level 2, charging for 10 seconds consumes only 1.25% of the energy of a level 2 territory core.

This sword strike consumes a full eight times the energy of a charged attack!

It's not hard to understand why this could produce such a terrifying effect.

Although it deals extremely high damage, this thing has a fatal weakness: it leaves no corpse behind.

The exact amount of Originium is currently unknown, but the vast majority of corpses will definitely not survive.

It truly lives up to its purple name; if it can't earn 24 Originium per hit, it'll be operating at a loss!

I glanced at my Originium inventory and did a quick calculation; I still had about 300 left.

Sui An was somewhat worried that if he didn't use it sparingly, he would go bankrupt in a short time.

Back on the roof, the pressure on the wall was immense.

Stones, each the size of a football, were constantly being thrown at him. If it weren't for the three level-four ability users intercepting them, his shield would have been drained of energy at this point, even if it didn't explode.

Seeing Sui An return to the watchtower, Wang Zhen took a moment to ask, "How was the consumption? Is the energy sufficient?"

Upon hearing this, even Erhu and Zhao Feng looked over, since no one believed that a level-two territory could withstand such a terrifying attack indefinitely.

Sui An set up his crossbow and fired at the distant beast troop while explaining.

"One sword strike costs 24 Originium, but it can still be used more than ten times!"

"I'm just worried that if the rift drags on for too long, you might as well take some source stones to prop it up when the source beasts surround the city walls."

Seeing that Sui An still had confidence, the three of them immediately calmed down. Although it seemed like a long time had passed, in fact, it had only been a minute or two since the rift opened.

Wang Zhen casually smashed a source energy stone that had been thrown at him; the stone turned into starlight and dissipated on the wall.

"The opening of a rift can take anywhere from ten minutes to half an hour or even longer, so it definitely requires a large reserve of Originium!"

Erhu thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Then I'll go down first. I'm fast, and I'm very good at taking source stones!"

Wang Zhen did not stop them. Seeing this, Sui An became worried and shouted from the watchtower behind.

"Be careful, the inventory is actually still sufficient. We're just waiting for the monsters to gather more efficiently, don't risk it all!"

Sui rested for a while and did not immediately fire the Flame Sword again because the previous attacks had cut off and scattered the team, resulting in the outer team being somewhat scattered.

At this point, the pressure isn't too great, and it would be a waste to draw a sword.

"Got it!" Erhu ran into the wooden house, grabbed two large bags, and hurriedly ran out. After thinking for a moment, he quickly gave a few more instructions.

"I'm going to check out those areas you've already attacked. Keep an eye on them, and make sure I don't hit them."

"Don't go into areas with a high concentration of monsters!"

"good!"

The gray fog on the outside was growing thicker and thicker, and it was already encroaching on the wall, eroding the shield with a hissing sound.

Sui An looked at the large windmill to the side, quickly manipulated the base stone to adjust the direction and start the windmill.

Sure enough, even the gray fog caused by the source energy was pushed away from the middle by the huge wind pressure, and the windmill sucked in the gray fog on both sides and pushed it away. The effect was very good.

The large amount of gray fog was blown away by the windmills. Although the visibility in the distance was not improved, the area near the wall became much thinner, which greatly reduced the pressure on the protective shield.

Sui An was somewhat satisfied with the windmill.

"Brother Zhen, this stuff works great, but there's not enough. Could you order two more for me next time?"

"Okay, I'll bring it to you in a few days!"

Seeing the large number of red dots gathering on his northwest side, Sui An summoned Sword Star again. Eight fire birds flew in the gray mist, their surging flames clearing away a large chunk of the gray mist.

"This thing can ignite ash fog??"

Zhao Feng's eyes lit up as she stood on the wall. As a fire-type combat professional, she knew perfectly well that her source energy flames couldn't achieve this effect.

"Xiao An, does your building's fire have any special effects?"

"Special effects?"

Sui An was slightly taken aback, then suddenly remembered the description on the blueprint: "Yes, it's called Sin Flame. It can ignite the source energy inside the target's body. The duration is unclear, but it should stop burning once the source energy is cut off."

"No wonder!"

Zhao Feng sighed. Even if the gray fog was blown away by the windmill, it was just moved to another place. Usually, it would just wait for the dark energy contained within to dissipate slowly, or for it to be diluted by a larger space.

"This gray fog was constructed from source energy. The fire effect of your building can ignite source energy, so it burned away the gray fog!"

"I see, that's a pleasant surprise."

Hearing Zhao Feng's explanation, Sui An felt an unexpected sense of joy. Just moments before, he had been lamenting that almost no source beasts could benefit from the effects of the Sin Flame, because they were all burned to death by the flame itself.

"It might be more than that!" Wang Zhen pointed his black spear to the due north direction and shouted.

"Didn't you notice? Those three level 4 rock golems we saw at the beginning, although they didn't die on the spot after you hit them, haven't shown up since."

"Based on what you said, I guess the source energy in my body has been depleted. As an elemental being, while depleting source energy won't kill you instantly, you're practically no different from a pile of rocks now!"

Zhao Feng, standing nearby, agreed: "That's right, I almost forgot. The rocks thrown by a level 4 rock golem aren't this big!"

"Next time you attack, aim at the rock golems behind you, to prevent another level 4 breakthrough creature from coming. The pressure from that is immense!"

"good!"

Sui An immediately understood that having a seasoned combat professional by his side provided a much better understanding of the characteristics of these source beasts than simply looking at the encyclopedia.
