All-out Tower Defense: My Card-Drawing Talent is a Bit Strange

Because of the sheer number of monsters attacking the city, the Slime King seemed to be going all out, wanting to wipe out Yang Fei in one fell swoop. The Gaze was triggered instantly, and a large number of elite slimes surged out. At the same time, the next notification sounded immediately after the Gaze.

"Ding~, Respected Apprentice Lord, your bravery in defending the Sky Island against the Slime Clan's attack has escalated the Slime Clan's initial animosity towards you to a minor level, triggering a special event—The Slime King's Theft!"

"The next 5999 common slimes will be replaced with elite-quality bronze slimes, and 3333 common slimes will be replaced with elite-quality silver slimes. They will be stealing your territory's wealth, so please protect your assets!"

"Wow, that's more than half the number of elite slimes already, right? Hmm~ But I like the number of Ice Slimes, ten thousand of them, which completely exceeds my expectations. But they've come at the perfect time; I need them!"

Looking at the densely packed elite numbers on the blue gate, Yang Fei felt a chill run down his spine. But when he saw the number of Ice Slime, Yang Fei laughed—he really laughed. "This traitor is really something else."

The number of 10,000 already exceeds one-sixth of the total. To put it simply, for every 6 slimes you produce, one of them is an Ice Slime that is a traitor.

What a mess this is! Its actual impact is probably even more exaggerated than the previous waves.

Given the current monster-killing efficiency, Yang Fei couldn't even imagine the spectacular chain reaction caused by the succubus girl's incredible resilience. One self-destruction and she'd be dead! Then let's do it a few more times. We have enough traitors anyway! We're not afraid you won't die!

"Ding~, Your Excellency Apprentice Lord, your subordinate, the succubus servant, has performed exceptionally well in defending the Sky Island against the attack of the Ice Slime race. The Ice Lord of the Slime race, 'Ice,' has developed a strong hatred for you and considers you a great threat to their race, triggering a special event—the Annihilation of the Slime Lord!"

"Respected Lord Yang Fei, the Ice Slime Clan Lord 'Ice' will appear on your sky island and lead its people to attack it. As a lord-level monster, Ice is extremely dangerous. Please be prepared to defend!"

The familiar voice rang in Yang Fei's ears again, still related to the Exploding Ice Slime, but this time Yang Fei was unhappy.

"Holy crap! A boss monster really appeared!" Yang Fei originally thought the sound that rang out again was the Mimic invading, but he didn't expect it to trigger a new slime special event, which hit Yang Fei hard.

Do these slimes really like him that much? Not only are elite monsters being sent wave after wave, but now a boss monster has arrived. Yang Fei really doesn't want to accept all of this! A boss monster is not as simple as just having enhanced elite attributes.

As mentioned earlier, the Lord monster can be considered a boss among monsters. Apart from the rarely seen King monster, this thing represents a race and is not so easy to defeat.

When the Sky Island upgrade notification appeared before, Yang Fei thought it was an exaggeration. After all, he was just an apprentice lord who wasn't even a formal lord yet. The appearance of a large number of elites was already a low-probability event, and it was impossible for lord-level monsters to appear.

Moreover, I've only upgraded my Sky Island to gray quality, and I've just passed the second wave of extreme difficulty in the beginner's test. I'm still in the toddler area where level 0 beast monsters siege the city. There's really no need for the lord monster to come in person!

As the notification sound gradually ended, Yang Fei saw that the blue door stopped spawning monsters, and a transparent slime, slightly larger than a normal Ice Slime, emerged.

The blue door had just stopped decreasing the number of remaining monsters, and only resumed decreasing normally after it appeared in the War Corridor. The notification about the Slime Lord also disappeared from the blue door.

"Is that the Ice Slime Lord, which is slightly larger than a normal Ice Slime?" Yang Fei was somewhat skeptical and directly opened the monster panel.

"Ice Slime Lord (Ice): The new lord from the Slime World, who was bestowed the title of Slime Lord by the Slime King 'Withered'. He descended upon the Sky Island World at level 0 to destroy the apprentice lords he deemed a threat!"

Ice Slime Lord (Ice): Beast Level 0 (weakened), HP 1000, Attack 500, Defense 0, Magic Resistance 0. It contains powerful frost power, but due to its forced arrival in the tower defense world, its level and attributes have been forcibly weakened, making its status somewhat unstable.

Upon being killed, the frost power within the body will be released instantly, forming a frozen field with a radius of three meters centered on the user. Targets within the field will be frozen and will suffer damage equal to one-tenth of the (ice) attack power per second for one minute.

Possesses the following skills: Clan Chief's Majesty, Exploding Ice Glory, and Self-Destruction Rebirth.

Chieftain's Majesty: A universal lord skill for slime lords, allowing them to command any ordinary or elite slime to serve them. Even other types of slimes will submit to the lord.

Exploding Ice Glory: As a super strong member of the Exploding Ice Slime race, it has a unique understanding of self-destruction. When it is present, it can impart its own summary of self-destruction to all Exploding Ice Slimes, increasing their explosion range and explosion damage, and making it impossible for self-destruction to harm its own kind, including other types of slimes.

Explosive Rebirth: This is the ultimate understanding of the Ice Slime Lord 'Ice' regarding its own frost power. It can spontaneously explode in exchange for rebirth in its offspring or nearby Ice Slimes.

Because this ability involves rebirth and is not a capability possessed by beast-level monsters, 'Ice' can only be used once per battle, and the newly born slime lord will not inherit the 'Ice' attribute; it needs to grow from scratch.

Yang Fei was speechless when he saw the unassuming Ice Slime with such a long list of attributes. "It really is this thing! Is your lord's appearance really this casual? At least make a larger version!"

However, Yang Fei also figured it out. There was a reason why the lord looked like that. As a commander who appeared on the battlefield, a leader of a race, and especially with a passive skill that could increase the combat power of his people, it was natural for him to be as inconspicuous as possible.

Integrating into the community is where you can maximize your effectiveness. Otherwise, if you stand out too much, others will immediately notice you're different and target you relentlessly, which would be disastrous. In such situations, being inconspicuous might actually be the best approach.

But how to put it? Without the hint from the Heavenly Dao AI, Yang Fei might not have been able to find it in a short time. But the Heavenly Dao AI did give a hint, which showed that there was a loophole in your disguise.
