《A Future Destroyed - A Post-Modern Fantasy LitRPG》Chapter 16 - Challenge Start!

Advertisement

Over the next hour, Joriya helped empty out the various floors and wards of people and escorting them to the Emergency Ward Safe Zone. He smiled coldly as he looked at himself in the mirror. "So, I should probably do something with all my magic, since I did take the time to purchase them all... I think I'll rotate through them in the Waves... Hell, I bet I could probably clear the waves without even moving.

"Yo, Clarence, how about we make a bet on the Challenge? I bet you an Adamantite PPP Coin that I would be able to clear at least half of the twenty Waves without moving from a circle I'll mark out," Joriya chuckled.

"Bet accepted, Challenger," Clarence's voice came from the closest intercom relay. "Although I will place the circle where the reception desk initially was... Rennovations complete, please enter the Entrance Hall and then the Challenge Circle. The Waves will begin sixty seconds after you enter the circle. You will have five minutes to clear a Wave before the next Wave starts. If you clear a Wave before the five minutes, you will have either sixty seconds or the remaining time until the five minute counter, whichever comes first."

"That sounds fair... If anything, I could just fortify my circle and wait for an hour to have the entire twenty waves spawned, if I was secure in my ability to conjure fortifications. Of course, that's not something I'm prepared for at the moment... Anyways, let's get to it," Joriya spoke to himself.

He looked around the Entrance Hall, which was a large, open foyer, standing three floors high, with balconies along the left and right sides, and a large series of glass windows at the front. The back had two staircases and an elevator in addition to the balconies. In the center of the Hall was a large circle of ten meters in diameter where the reception desk had initially been. There was a series of statues of Gruugus the Fierce and the other four deities he had met in his Tutorial along the left side of the road. He chuckled as he saluted the god before crouching in the center of the circle, triggering the start of the first Wave in sixty seconds.

He focused on his earth magic, first using the spell Earth Wall to raise a circular barrier around the circle to chest height, then focused his magic on reinforcing it. After about fifteen seconds, the Earth Wall was almost as durable as if it were made from iron, with how much mana he poured into it. He then stopped and waited for his mana to refill.

"So, how about some Battle Music? I mean, you're the head of IT, and I'm sure you could easily patch a computer into the intercom system for broadcasting music, especially with Connection," Joriya chuckled.

A large monitor appeared on the back wall above the lobby's elevator and displayed the statement:

Wave 1

25 Zombies

As the zombies materialized, video game orchestral background music pumped into the foyer from the intercom speakers. He brought up his hands and aimed his fingers at the approaching zombies, channeling the first level fire spell, [Fire Bolt] at each of the zombies and waiting to see their reactions. A couple of the [Fire Bolt]s were obvious critical hits as they completely dusted the zombie they hit, whereas others hit limbs or connections and made them lose the limb at either elbow, shoulder, or knee. He quickly cleaned up the zombies with another round of [Fire Bolt] castings, before looking up at the display board as a Round Buzzer blared.

Wave 2

20 Zombies

15 Skeleton

This time, as they appeared, he focused on [Earth Spike], angling them and casting arranging for them to fall and strike their heads on ones he focused to be much more pointy. He frowned as he saw them all having been defeated that simply, causing the buzzer to blare again and the display to change.

Wave 3

20 Zombies

20 Skeletons

10 Goblins

There was a ding as the elevator opened up, revealing the goblins, a group of ten child-sized boys dressed in loincloths with trash-quality weapons. He cast [Wind Blade] at the zombies, condensing it tightly and aiming it at the throats, ending up popping their heads off. He then used [Gust] in a condensed ball on the skeletons, getting it right in front of their eyeholes before releasing it. He then used both to attack the goblins, using the [Gust] to hit ankles, knees, and elbows, and the [Wind Blade] at throats and key veins.

Well, that makes testing three elements... let's keep trying, Joriya chuckled.

Wave 4

20 Skeletons

20 Goblins

10 Hobgoblins

The elevator dinged as it opened, this time with twenty of the goblins and ten of the dwarf-sized hobgoblins. The hobs had leather armor and low-quality copper weapons, while the goblins were in rags with trash-quality again. The skeletons finally had weapons as well. He used Plant Magic to summon thorny vines, which he used to tear apart the skeletons and bind the goblins, choking them and tearing thorns across the entirety of their throats and wrists. So far, the hobs were the ones who got the closest to his little fort, about halfway from the elevator. Then again, using [Summon Vines] and [Plant Control] at the same time wasn't really a strong battle contender at the moment. The buzzar sounded again, and the display changed.

Wave 5

20 Goblins

20 Hobgoblins

10 Bugbears

The elevators opened up on the first and second floors, releasing the goblins and hobs on the ground floor with the bugbears on the second floor. The bugbears jumped down over the balcony, cracking the tiles and roared at him. He looked at them and smiled as he cast [Drain Life] at all of them, pumping in more and more mana to [Overcharge] the spell, which made them turn into a series of dessicated lumps of flesh, before blood red and violet energy flowed into himself, triggering a notification that his Lifespan had been increased by two points. The buzzar sounded.

Wave 6

20 Hobgoblins

20 Bugbears

10 Orcs

He sighed and shook his head slowly. He gathered mana and cast [Light Ray] and pumped extra mana to [Overcharge] it, blasting all of them and making the back wall bubble and melt for a bit before the ray burned out. Neat! Like frying ants with a magnifying glass! The wall quickly repaired itself, and the buzzar sounded.
