《Versatile Mage》1387 Magic Formation, Realm of the Heavens

General Bin Wei breathed heavily. The teeth marks left on her lips were obvious. Fresh blood was flowing out of them!
"You will not cross this place, never will!" Bin Wei built a spiritual wall in her heart. She would endure every impact without frowning even the slightest, regardless of how strong they were!
The Wall was collapsing rapidly just a moment ago. It almost allowed some of the Underworld creatures to cross the line of defense, but that suddenly came to a stop when General Bin Wei's eyes glittered with determination. The Wall recovered swiftly under her fearless gaze.
The shield did not fall. The Twin-Bodied Demon Cows and the Underworld Executioners were crushed to pieces!
"Well...well done!" The Prophet's eyes regained their focus. He had thought they were doomed for an instant!
They had survived the most difficult time. It was time for them to conquer these Underworld creatures with the power of the Wall!
"Prophet, one of the fire pillars is gone..." General Bin Wei's aide-de-camp blurted out in astonishment.
"It's Jian'an Pass," the prophet lifted his gaze and looked in the direction where a fire pillar was gradually dying.
Even though the Northguard Fortress survived, Jian'an Pass had still fallen. It was something they did not expect. They had still underestimated the Underworld creatures!
"Ask the remaining six Geomancers to fill up the gaps immediately. We can't allow the wall to have any openings!" the Prophet ordered.
The only way to relay information was through the Magic Fire Beacons. The fall of Jian'an Pass had placed the other Magic Fire Beacons under greater pressure.
General Bin Wei had clarified that the total mass of the Great Wall would not change. Therefore, they would have to make up for the fallen Jian'an Pass with the other seven segments. They could not afford to modify the Wall's thickness, and they could barely modify the length depending on the enemy's movement, which meant they could only reduce its height!

The wall was around seventy meters tall on average, but in front of the Northguard Fortress it was around eighty meters. That was high enough to stop all Underworld creatures except those of the Ruler-level. Not many of the creatures had such ridiculous sizes.
However, the height of the wall immediately dropped to around sixty meters to fill the gaps of the fallen section. That immediately allowed some of the Underworld creatures to climb over their comrades' bodies and reach the top of the wall!
The Twin-Bodied Demon Cows did not smash through the wall. The rest of the undead army had arrived now. The creatures above three meters tall began to stack up in layers in the pool of blood, while the others started climbing the heaping mounds of flesh that their comrades had piled up into. After reaching a height of thirty meters, they also turned into stepping stones for the undead behind them...
Most Underworld creatures were not particularly huge. The process of them stacking up their bodies to form ladders for the rest to climb up the walls was not as quick as the humans had imagined. They were making their way to the top of the Great Wall, but their numbers were simply too overwhelming. It was only a matter of time until they stacked up into mountains of flesh over sixty meters high!
"My Heavens!" the aide-de-camp stood at the edge and glanced down the wall. His vision was filled up with squirming heads and incomplete bodies. The sight was so close that he almost fainted from trypophobic revulsion.
As a matter of fact, the terrifying scene was not just happening in front of the aide-de-camp. Almost every spot along the wall had a mound of flesh being stacked up. They were all mashed up together, the creatures were only revealing a hand or a head. Some were even crushed by their comrades. Their blood poured out from the hill of flesh. Their hands, arms, and legs were falling off the mounds like sand particles!

"They are climbing up the Wall. How are we supposed to stop them!?" The aide-de-camp began to panic.
The soldiers subconsciously backed away from the edge. The rotten smell of the detestable undead was within inches. Their movement and ghastly roars were a couple dozen meters away. They were already overwhelmed by the fear of being eaten alive, even though they had yet to come into contact with the Underworld creatures!
"Hold your ground, the ancient shield of our country has a magic formation built in it. It will not let the creatures reach the top of the Wall!" the Prophet said.
The line of defense would lose its purpose if the undead could just climb over it. Many Warrior-level creatures could easily jump to a height of fifty meters!
"Realm of the Heavens!"
General Bin Wei was obviously the one to activate the magic formation. When she directed her will into the Magic Fire Beacon, ancient Runes began to surface on the Great Wall. The Runes emitted a brown light as they fell off the walls like leaves.
The Leaf Runes slowly floated down. When they came into contact with the undead, they immediately pressed down upon the creatures. The undead began to fall as if a great weight was crashing upon them, and smashed heavily onto the ground. Their flesh and blood scattered across the place!
More Leaf Runes appeared and fell upon the undead ceaselessly. Even those that landed on the ground would mark the place with the same light that the walls were emitting, increasing the gravity on the spot!
The force applied to any creature trying to cross the wall. Their bodies were now several times heavier, as if they were tied with heavy chains...
The gravitational force grew stronger closer to the top of the walls. If they were on the ground, the gravity applied to the creatures was only normal. It would multiply ten times as soon as the undead climbed ten meters up the wall, and fifty times when they climbed twenty meters up...
When the ramps of flesh were over thirty meters high, the undead at the top of the mounds were under a hundred times the pressure, instantly crushing those beneath them to pulp!
Blood poured down from the hills of flesh once again. Thousands of the undead were blended into a disgusting pot of porridge, resulting in a sickening sight.
The hills of flesh that the undead tried so hard to stack up soon collapsed after the magic formation was activated. Even Warrior-level, Commander-level, or Ruler-level creatures could not escape from it!
The overwhelming weight suppressed the Underworld creatures and helped to stabilize the situation. It also gave the people on the Wall a chance to catch their breaths!

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)
