I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1068 - Chapter 1068 Chapter 1070 Layers of Wheels_1

Chapter 1068: Chapter 1070: Layers of Wheels_1 Chapter 1068: Chapter 1070: Layers of Wheels_1 This time, fifty Flame Panthers appeared, less than ten meters away from Song Jian.

“Thinking I excel at long-range attacks, so this time you send agile monsters against me?” Song Jian watched the bodies of the Flame Panthers solidify quickly and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The Tower of Slaughter had already determined that Song Jian possessed group attack spells with massive long-range killing power because monsters that were a hundred meters away could be instantly annihilated. Therefore, this round not only increased the number of monsters but also changed their type and attributes according to the first round. By number alone, the difficulty seemed only to have increased by 60%, but in reality, the difficulty had more than doubled. If he were truly a mage with super long-range forbidden curses, this round might have led directly to his elimination.

Elimination meant death, becoming one of the monsters in Scorching Gorge, which was known to all adventurers who entered the Tower of Slaughter.

“Let me see how powerful this Moon Essence Wheel is. If it’s too weak, then it might as well be devoured by the Thousand Swords Art,” Song Jian thought to himself, not retreating but advancing. Instead, he charged toward the Flame Panthers.

With a stature close to two meters, the Flame Panthers had slender bodies. Beneath their smooth black-purple skin lay immense strength. Their limbs surged with a dark red flame, which was not real flame, but formed from some kind of dark energy, giving the appearance of a burning fire.

The attribute of the Flame Panthers was not fire but dark. Their innate ability was short-range sudden advance, akin to teleportation, and being a natural skill, they could use it repeatedly.

In fact, this skill involved the Flame Panthers briefly entering the Dark Matter plane, then breaking back through it, with stronger panthers able to stay in the Dark Matter plane longer and “teleport” longer distances. The group of Flame Panthers in front of Song Jian was at the pinnacle of their strength; each of their teleports could cover a distance of five meters, meaning they only needed to teleport twice to cover the distance to Song Jian, which they could do in less than a second.

As Song Jian charged forward, the Moon Essence Wheel, which had been lazily revolving around him, suddenly accelerated, leaving a residual image on Song Jian’s retina, and flew toward a newly formed Flame Panther.

Song Jian was startled as he found, with his strength, he couldn’t clearly see the Moon Essence Wheel’s attack trajectory, which was truly an exaggeration. Even when launching the Thousand Swords Art, with hundreds of Spirit Swords attacking at once, Song Jian could still clearly see each Spirit Sword’s attack trajectory and even predict their exact strike location.

But now, in an instant, the Moon Essence Wheel had already flown in front of a Flame Panther, and “swoosh, swoosh, swoosh” it cut through the panther’s body rapidly, as if controlled by someone. Damage numbers of seven to eight thousand floated up from the head of the Flame Panther, and in just two seconds, the panther with over fifty thousand Vitality Points was laid flat on the ground.

Looking at the Flame Panther, whose body was covered with cuts and whose eyes, wide open in death, were filled with confusion and helplessness, Song Jian was filled with shock.

The power of the Moon Essence Wheel was much weaker than the Thousand Swords Art, but its attacks were extremely ferocious, like an assassin wielding a weapon, charging into a crowd, indiscriminately reaping the lives around him.

Almost instantly after killing a Flame Panther, the Moon Essence Wheel flew toward the nearest one. Spinning in the air, it emitted a series of sharp whistles, piercing directly through the bodies of one Flame Panther after another, then fiercely burying itself into another Panther’s body.

The skin of the Flame Panthers had an evasive bonus, but under the Moon Essence Wheel’s attacks, there seemed to be no sign of any evasion.

Hum~

A soft sound rang out, as the original singular Moon Essence Wheel violently shook in the midst of attacking, and numerous translucent phantoms burst forth, flying towards the surrounding Flame Panthers.

Layers upon layers of wheel shadows!

Another round of attack triggered the special effect of the Moon Essence Wheel, as forty-nine phantoms of the Moon Essence Wheel flew towards the remaining Fire Flame Panthers.

Song Jian didn’t need to do anything but stand there, while a large group of Fire Flame Panthers, seven or eight meters away from him, were swiftly reaped of their lives by the Moon Essence Wheel.

This was not a battle at all, but a bloody slaughter!

A few seconds later, all of the Fire Flame Panthers were killed. The one closest to Song Jian lay at his feet; it was the smartest among the pack of panthers, knowing that if it killed Song Jian, the Moon Essence Wheel would disappear. After making two rapid charges, the panther appeared in front of Song Jian but didn’t expect the Moon Essence Wheel to seemingly sense the threat to Song Jian’s life and pounced on the panther like a shadow, with all the wheel phantoms converging on it at that moment.

In less than a second, the panther’s body was pierced by forty-nine wheel phantoms, while the main body of the Moon Essence Wheel sliced in from the back of its head and flew out from between its eyes, reaping the panther’s last bit of Vitality Points.

As the Fire Flame Panther leaped into the air, baring its fangs and claws at Song Jian’s throat, it was still a ferocious monster. A second later, it turned into a corpse that fell heavily to the ground, slid forward for a distance, and then stopped at Song Jian’s feet.

A drop of warm purplish-black blood splattered on Song Jian’s face. The power of the Moon Essence Wheel surpassed Song Jian’s imagination; it was not only an autonomous attacking ability but also one with exceptionally good defense capabilities.

It was simply the nemesis of those stealth assassins. As long as they dared to approach within ten meters of Song Jian, they would receive the Moon Essence Wheel’s most ruthless attack.

From then on, Song Jian would never have to fear being ambushed by assassins again.

“If this ability were learned by a Mage class, it could probably rival Legendary Level abilities…” Song Jian’s lips curled into a smile.

In less than ten seconds, all of the Fire Flame Panthers had turned into corpses, scattered haphazardly across the grassland, with purplish-black blood slowly pooling into a large area. But soon, all of the Fire Flame Panthers dissipated into puffs of black smoke, and all traces of them disappeared without a trace.

And those phantoms of the Moon Essence Wheel, after the ten seconds passed, also slowly dispersed and vanished into the air. The Moon Essence Wheel itself returned to that lazy state, slowly rotating while flying up and down around Song Jian.

After a slaughter, the glow on the surface of the Moon Essence Wheel became more subdued. The previously half-silver, half-gold glow began to fade slowly, turning into a metallic color like white iron, with small, fish-scale-like patterns on the surface.

[Slaughter Leaderboard, second challenge passage rankings, first place, Song Jian, passage time: 9.7 seconds]

“Passing through the Tower of Slaughter doesn’t seem as difficult as others have said, it feels quite easy!” Song Jian looked at the words appearing in the air in front of him, his face breaking out into a happy smile.
