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

"boom!"

A phantom greatsword crashed into the front of the black-armored beast horde. Although the black-armored beasts possessed metallic properties and were covered in scales, making them extremely defensive, they were still incredibly vulnerable under the sword of fire.

In the next instant, the seven-meter-long sword of fire quietly dissipated, turning into countless flames. However, these flames first rapidly contracted, transforming into a giant fireball.

"Singing~"

A faint, melodious cry of a phoenix rose up, and a pair of enormous fiery wings quietly unfurled from the fireball. In a very short time, the fireball condensed into the shape of a fiery phoenix with a wingspan of five or six meters.

With a flap of its enormous wings, the Flame Phoenix suddenly accelerated toward the rift, flying far away in an instant.

The black-armored beasts, who were lying prone on the ground, were thrown into the air by the flames that flew close to the ground. Under the caress of the flames, the black scales on their bodies began to melt rapidly, turning into juice that seeped into their flesh.

Countless pitiful roars echoed among the beasts, but soon fell silent.

The fire phoenix flew more than 20 meters in the direction Sui An indicated before quietly dissipating.

Along the way, the bodies of those level 2 black-armored beasts were completely red, as if their scales had been set on fire. They struggled wildly on the ground, but soon gradually stopped moving and became lifeless.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

Erhu stood on the wall, a wisp of west wind blowing, and he seemed to smell a rich aroma of meat, his mouth watering involuntarily.

He turned to look at Fang Cheng on the watchtower, his eyes filled with resentment, and muttered, "It's all your fault. You made such a terrible dinner. Now I'm hungry just from the smell."

Sui An stared intently at the night sky, as if he hadn't heard those words.

Although the Fire Phoenix burned a large number of Black Armored Beasts to death, the remaining Black Armored Beasts continued to run wildly on all fours, charging towards Sui An's territory.

Looking into the distance, under the starlight shimmering in the rift, countless black-armored beasts emerged one after another from the rift, without a single speck of color in sight.

"We really stirred up a den of black-armored beasts, and the vast majority of them were even level 2."

"boom!"

The elemental statues in the courtyard moved without wind, and a ball of lightning flashed in the night sky, striking the one that was charging ahead.

The lightning bolt, which could kill a level 2 Shadow Lizard in one hit, surprisingly failed to establish its power this time. The black-armored beast was hit by the violent explosion, leaving only barely visible marks on its dark scales.

It shakily stood up from the ground, and although its body was unsteady, it still slowly charged towards Sui An's territory.

"Are these scales really that effective at absorbing shock?"

Even Erhu was somewhat surprised. Although he knew that this thing's scales, combined with its metallic energy, made it extremely defensive, he did not expect it to be so resistant to such an explosive effect.

Sui An frowned. The situation of this level 2 source beast was somewhat beyond his expectations. No wonder the Sword Star Fire Phoenix was not completely ignited during its attack, and was even able to let out a hiss for a while before dying.

If it's this resilient, then tonight's main force really can only be its own Sword Star Totem. Although it has a 30-second cooldown, two Sword Stars can clear out a large area at once, so it's not too late.

"boom!"

The black-armored beast, which had been hit once by the Thunder Demon Bullet, was blasted to the ground again by the explosion. Its body was crackling with electric arcs and it was twitching on the ground, but it was still trying to move its limbs and stand up.

But as it convulsed, the third Thunder Magic Bullet hit, and this time the black-armored beast finally collapsed and remained motionless. Subsequent Thunder Magic Bullets automatically switched targets.

It takes at least three attacks to kill one.

Sui An frowned even deeper: "This thing's defensive capabilities are a bit overpowered~"

With the bombardment of the three elemental statues, some black-armored beasts had already reached the base of their walls. As they extended their thick forelimbs, revealing sharp claws, they dug a ten-centimeter hole in Sui An's wall under the cover of source energy.

If left unchecked, given their special abilities, this wall will soon be breached.

Erhu looked at the sky in confusion, then at Sui An: "What are you doing? Aren't you going to attack?"

"Oh, let me check first to get a general idea of ​​the attack strength."

Sui An casually explained that his sword star was difficult to attack when it was close to the wall, so he summoned the witch illusion.

Erhu suddenly turned around and saw the two cartoon witch statues behind him. One of them suddenly lit up, and a blue witch illusion made of lines appeared in front of him.

He suddenly opened his mouth wide, because the magical illusion was giving him an incredibly charming wink.

"Holy crap, what is this thing?"

He could hardly believe what he was seeing. Thinking it was his imagination, he rubbed his eyes hard, only to find that the thing had passed through the wall and arrived on the outer battlefield.

The witch's illusion suddenly grew larger, reaching a height of 7 meters before stopping. Erhu stared blankly at the three-dimensional illusion, which was even taller than himself, and watched it leisurely fly away from the wall towards the outside.

"Roar~ Roar~ Roar~"

The black-armored beasts, who had been peacefully digging at the wall, suddenly stopped digging and roared. To Erhu's horror, they all rushed toward the illusion.

But these illusions were ultimately illusory. They rushed beneath the illusions, constantly trying to attack the lines, but in the end, they swung their claws at their own teammates.

For a moment, countless ear-piercing screams rang out from the outside, like metal being cut, making Sui An's scalp tingle. Fortunately, the occasional roar of the elemental stone statues masked these sounds.

Seeing the black-armored beasts gathering and surrounding the illusion completely, Sui An roughly estimated the number and then summoned Sword Star's initial mode to unleash a sword strike.

"boom!"

This was the first time the Flame Sword had been released so close to the territory. The eight firebirds scattered, and Sui An felt an even greater sense of awe.

After all, he usually fired towards the rear to avoid severely burning the corpses of the source beasts, but tonight, if he only relied on the elemental statues to clear out the black-armored beasts, he might not be able to kill half of them even after the illusion ended.

Countless black-armored beasts were scattered by the impact of the flames. Although the temperature was not as high as in the Fire Phoenix mode, it was still enough to melt the scales of the black-armored beasts.

"Little Anzi, don't you have to explain this to your older brother?"

Erhu stood on the wall and tried to draw his long sword several times, but he put it back each time. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at Sui An with a deep gaze. He even felt like he had just encountered a ghost.

"Huh?" Sui An suddenly paused, turned to look at Wang Hu beside him, and asked softly.

"Didn't I tell Erhu?"

"I don't think so?"

"I guess I forgot..."

"It's alright, there's still time to tell."
