The Era of Tower Defense: I Have Super Enhancement

Chapter 31: Tower of Lightning

Hearing the sound, Emma sat up from her bed.

Through the carved glass window in the Lord’s Hall, she could see the flickering flames outside.

“Enemy!”

Emma grabbed her bow and short sword, rushed out of the door, and climbed up the stairs to the Arrow Tower.

At this time, the lighthouse in the camp was shining. Two hundred meters away from the camp, a large group of slime-like things was crawling towards the camp.

These slime-like things were transparent. Through the transparent skin, one could see some messy things inside.

At first, Emma thought it was the internal organs of the slime.

However, when she got closer, she found that the things inside were human organs. Intestines, liver, hands, feet, and even a lump of slime wrapped around half of the head.

“Urgh–”

It was the first time Emma had seen such a disgusting scene. She lay on the city wall and vomited.

Looking at the transparent mucus-like things slowly approaching from afar, Thomas’ expression did not look too good.

He had learned about this creature when he was in the main city.

This creature was called a Slime.

Unlike the Slime that could only exist in the game novice village before he transmigrated, the Slime here was an authentic level 2 dark creature.

They were a level higher than the Skeleton Soldiers, Dark Worms, and Rat-Men.

They were on the same level as the Skeleton Knights and Rat-Man Priest.

Although these Slimes looked like soft water balloons that could be broken with a single kick, they were still able to survive.

However, if you really looked at them that way, you would pay a heavy price.

Although these Slimes looked like they could only wiggle on the ground, and their movements were very slow, once an enemy attacked, they would turn their bodies into balls and roll very fast.

Moreover, because the Slimes did not have a fixed body. This resulted in it being able to have a very large mouth.

Thomas had once heard of a case from his mentor. A Knight was careless and half of his body was bitten off by a Slime.

That’s right, half of his body was bitten off together with the plate armor.

It was clear how powerful the Slimes were.

These Slimes would eat anything be it animals, plants, or even metal. They would eat whatever they saw.

This was not the most troublesome part.

Because the Slimes did not have a fixed body shape, this also resulted in them not having any vital parts.

Normal physical attacks were almost ineffective against them.

At most, it would consume the energy they stored.

If they wanted to destroy the Slimes, they had to use high-intensity spells to completely turn them into ashes.

Even if there was only a bit left, they would slowly regenerate.

Seeing these creatures approaching, Arya, who had never seen them before, drew her bow and shot an arrow at them.

An arrow accurately hit a Slime two hundred meters away.

However, the Slime continued to crawl toward the camp as if nothing had happened. Even the arrow that was shot at them was gradually digested.

“What’s going on?” Arya frowned and continued to draw her bow and arrow.

Thomas stopped her.

“It’s useless. These guys are called Slimes. Normal physical attacks are useless against them. Unless you have learned fire arrows or freezing arrows, your attacks are useless against them.”

Thomas shook his head.

“But, how do we deal with them?” Arya did not know what to do.

She had not finished her training and was still a level 1 Archer. Even when she reached level 3 and became a Forest Ranger, the spells she mastered were Runic Jump and Flash. They were all support spells and did not have any offensive types.

This feeling of powerlessness made her unusually anxious.

“It’s okay. If you can’t deal with them, then let those who can. You guys rest first and leave your strength to wait for the next batch of enemies.”

Thomas jumped below the city wall and placed three magic cores in the middle of the city wall.

“Build a Magic Tower!”

The magic array flickered and a white magic tower slowly emerged from the magic array.

[Level 1 building Magic Tower discovered. Super Enhancement System triggered. Increasing…]

[Level 1 Magic Tower increased to Level 3 Magic Tower: Tower of Lightning.]

[Tower of Lightning: One of the branches of a Level 3 Magic Tower. It can release lightning to attack enemies. Attack range: 200 meters.]

On top of a snow-white Magic Tower, a blue magic ball floated in the air.

On the surface of the magic ball, electric arcs were flashing from time to time, releasing blue electric light.

It was obvious that the power was extraordinary.

Before the Magic Tower was upgraded to level 3, it could only use Magic Missiles without attributes to attack the enemy. After it was upgraded to level 3, the Architect could change the Magic Tower into a Magic Tower with a single attribute according to his preferences.

For example, a fire-type Magic Tower could shoot fireballs.

And an ice-type Magic Tower could shoot frozen icicles.

A Magic Tower with the earth attribute could release powerful rock missiles.

And Thomas’ Tower of Lightning was a lightning-type magic tower, which could release powerful Thunderbolts.

It was one of the most powerful branches of the Magic Towers.

Moreover, the Tower of Lightning was the same as the Tower of Fire. Both of them could deal damage to Slimes.

Among them, the Tower of Lightning was even more effective against Slimes.

Seeing that it was the Tower of Lightning that had leveled up, Thomas was extremely excited.

He raised the scepter in his hand and said, “Magic Towers, attack!”

Boom!

Crack!

The Tower of Fire and the Tower of Lightning let out furious roars.

The Tower of Fire shot out Fireballs at the Slimes.

When the Slimes saw the Fireballs coming, its body immediately turned into a ball and rolled quickly to avoid the incoming fireballs.

The Fireballs smashed onto the ground, sending up clouds of smoke and dust.

Of course, not all the Slimes were so lucky.

A Slime was accidentally hit by the incoming fireballs.

Boom!

The crimson fireball exploded on the Slime’s body instantly, and then the thick flames enveloped the Slime.

The entire Slime turned into a burning fireball.

The Slime rolled on the ground desperately, trying to extinguish the flames on its body.

However, how could the magic flames of the Tower of Fire be so easily extinguished?

The Slime was like firewood, burning bit by bit, and finally turned into ashes.

On the other hand, the Tower of Lightning was more efficient.

Crack–

A bolt of lightning emerged from the ball of lightning and shot toward a Slime not far away.

The speed of the lightning was much faster than the fireball.

The Slime did not even have the chance to turn into a sphere before it was directly hit by the blue lightning. The Slime was instantly vaporized into ashes by the powerful electric current, and a magic core fell to the ground.
