Chapter 603: 603
Chapter 603: Self-Destruction
“Rumble, rumble…”
The enormous Quasi-Boss Golem on the small hill did not launch attacks on the players personally but instead used its earth energy to “throw” the remaining half of the normal golems .
From the point of view of the players, it looked like it was a sky where a bright moon hung, it was as if a few large black “moons” appeared after .
“Quick, Heavy Armored Warriors, block them! Earth Manipulators, ignore the front, place your attention on top… Water Manipulators, Fire Manipulators… split up in teams of two and attack!” Frontline Command commanded the players, despite the loudhailer, he was overwhelmed by the cries after being buried by the giant rocks .
That piece of hundred meter-long “fortification” had no meaning under these circumstances, as the rolling stones were flying directly from the sky .
Those giant rocks, which flew further than a meter with their weight measured in tons, had nothing that was capable to be able to intercept them in the sky .
Perhaps, the homing missiles in the machines were capable of doing so, but the machine’s controller did not have such quick reaction timing .
Most importantly, the four machines did not have a lot of homing missiles . Being an expensive consumable, it was impossible for them to use on these common, Elite Level creatures .
It was a pity that despite Frontline Command’s leadership being reliable and stable, the people who were able to adapt were not many .
One after the other, the Golems were thrown by the Quasi-Boss onto the player’s base, leaving the original set-up formations destroyed and devastated . Due to the enormous power from these rolling stones, those who were hit directly needed to respawn, and even if they were not hit directly, they would lose half of their lives just by the slightest hit .

Only after a few seconds, the battleground already had quite a number of the white lights of death .
This scene made Feng Luo inevitably think back to the enormous rocks thrown by the catapults from the city defenders during the Ancient Siege, or even the solid bullet from the Hongyi Cannon . More accurately put, it was not a solid bullet, but a shotgun bullet .
Although the defensive formation was dispersed, the players still had their techniques, relying on the control spells by the Manipulators and the “Immovable Mountain” by the Heavy Armored Warriors defending with their shields . After paying a huge price, they were able to hold against these rolling enormous rocks, preventing them from continuously crushing people .
However, being unable to crush people, this did not mean that it was unable to continue to kill people after these rolling stones were blocked by the players or the environment and losing their mobility .
What came after, was something all the players were not able to imagine .
“Kacha!”
A piece of Level 55 Elite rolling stone was completely stopped and suddenly had a crack on its sturdy rocky surface, similar to those rocks which were crushed after passing through the heavy fire and ice . However, what was different was that within the cracks of these rocks, there was blurred yellow light revealing from within . Following that, there was an energy movement charging inside .
“No good, these rocky creatures are going to…” Before screams of the scouts of the team ended…
“Rumble, rumble, rumble!”
One after another, the enormous rolling stones landed into the bases of the players with ground-shaking impacts, as it followed its cracks and shattered into smaller pieces .
As for what was different from the previous impacted pieces, the shattered pieces from the automatic self-destruction had irregular sizes of shattered pieces, however, they were all sturdy pieces . Additionally, under the power of the fierce self-explosion, it launched those pieces towards the surrounding players with speed comparable to bullets .

“Platter, platter, platter…”
Pieces with sizes ranging from as small as a fist till as large as a human head impacted the players who were unable to hide in time .
In an instant, there were a few more white lights of death appearing on the battleground .
Even for those Heavy Armor Warriors wearing equipment which boosts their health points, if they were in the parameters of several small pieces of the self-destructing golems towards them, their health points will collapse in an instant as well .
In the first three bases, Storm City’s death count did not exceed 30 . However, at the fourth base, in the period of a few minutes, the death count was nearing this number .
Most importantly, with the self-destruction and the constant rolling stones being thrown from the Quasi-Boss repeatedly, the player’s formation has been completely devastated to the point of regeneration, they could only work in their respective smaller teams as the formation .
“Pui… Pui…”
“What is this? They actually self-destruct?” Big Pineapple said with a dull face as he spat out the mud which came from a self-destructed golem nearby .
Even with his defense attribute, with his shield blocking the self-destruction by this Level 60 Elite Level Golem, his life points still dropped by around 4000 .
In this game with these explosive types of attacks, as it is a little rogue, its common power is still greater than the strongest moves by creatures with similar levels . Like the self-destructing beetle that should not be looked down on it having any other attacking moves apart from its self-destruction power, as it is able to destroy creatures of similar levels .
However, with Big Pineapple blocking at the front, their small team was not reduced at all from this explosion .
It was only when…
“Quick, hinder it! Everyone, be careful, focus on dodging!” Frontline Command’s originally calm voice suddenly became hurried, even the two commands that he gave were very contradicting .
Although many teams were relying on their fighter class to block the separate self-destructions from the common golems, on the opposite hill the Quasi-Boss which was throwing his subordinates was starting to roll .
“What the f*ck!” Not only Frontline Commander, but all other players’ faces changed .
Forget about all these Common and Elite Level Golems self-destructing, self-destruction by the Level 60 Quasi-Boss that, in theory, would not be inferior compared to a real Boss’ area ultimate .
However, at this moment, you can tell the real personalities of the players participating in this wastelands .
Although some were hurried, they were not panicking to the point that they were mindless . Even under the circumstances of having the threat of the Common Golem’s impact and self-destruction, many Manipulators did not regard the danger that they were in and still created the fortifications against the Quasi-Boss in the front .
“Rumble, rumble…”
The energy mud walls started to rise from beneath the hill, as there was fiery energy starting to ablaze .
Other than that, additional bullets and spells were cast towards the Quasi-Boss’ body .
“Whoosh, whoosh…”
“Bang, bang, bang…”
“-334, -346…”
“-12, -33, -104…”
The sky filled with spells caused the night sky to be colored with several colors . However, the damage done upon the hits, against the 6 million health points of the Quasi-Boss, did not have much meaning .
The Quasi-Boss’ physical defense and elemental resistance were definitely more disgusting than its’ subordinates . Before breaking his first layer which was lined up with super thick stones, there was no way to inflict any damage .
The only hope was the fortification raised at that hundred-meter area at the base of the hill .
Even if this Quasi-Boss was so strong in its defenses, its body was still made out of rocks, which meant that a series of heavy fire and ice would be able to weaken it a little, right?

The rewritten version of the same ongoing story, recast into Past Tense and lightly edited. Inspired by the intrigue, drama, and destruction whispered to us by ancient history, this story is set in a world where magic is slowly dying, and decadent empires struggle against each other as well as against the barbarian hordes pushing ever westward. The story is told from the viewpoints of three people whose actions will change the fate of nations and empires alike: Amazonia. More than just a female gladiator but a champion of the arena, she will win her freedom at a price: to become a Reaver Knight not seen since the days of ancient Babylonia, with a mission to save the empire that enslaved her from destruction at the hands of a rival empire, the Sasnayams. Wysper. A Celtic priestess stolen away from her homeland by Muzen, high priest of the Sasnayam deity Yun-Kax, she possesses a mana node like a second heart inside her body which Muzen rips out each time he 'sacrifices' her to their god to appease the masses. Despite her strong will, everyone has a limit, and Muzen's actions have driven Wysper close to the edge of suicide. Greywolf. Son of the infamous Shadow-walker, Ghostdog, and the Celestial Asena, who was once revered as the Wolf-mother goddess, but now guards caravans for drinking money. His boring life will change when his impulsive act puts Wysper's life in danger, yet saving her risks his death, or enslavement at Muzen's hands. And all the while, the White Horde sits on the edge of empires, biding its time...

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
