The Players and the Protagonist Want to Kill Me – Chapter 518

Chapter: Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)

Chapter 308 – City Wall Breached

Players could affect the Undead siege weapons.

But they could not stop the charge of the Skeletal Knight legion towards the city wall.

Especially the large figure at the front, riding a Skeletal Rhinoceros.

Magic spells would only splash off it like sparks, with no other effect.

Within two breaths, the Champion Level Skeletal Knight had arrived near the city gate. It raised its three-meter-long great axe, let out a roar, and smashed it fiercely onto the city wall.

“BOOM—”

A large hole was instantly blasted into the wall.

With a hole in the center, the load-bearing structure was compromised, and a large section of the wall above it became unstable, starting to collapse.

The players unfortunate enough to be on the wall were first thrown off balance by the axe and the charge of the Skeletal Rhinoceros, and then fell off the wall due to the ground collapsing.

The Skeletal Rhinoceros Knight seemed unable to fly.

But its destructive power completely compensated for its lack of flight.

Players falling from the wall were killed by nearby Skeletal Knights before they could even get up.

The Champion Skeletal Knight merely needed to focus on demolishing the wall.

However, the Undead offensive did not stop there.

A roar echoed from within the Undead tide, followed by the emergence of thousands of Abomination Undead, resembling stitched-together monsters.

They wielded rusty iron spears, each roughly two to three meters long.

“ROAR—”

Another roar, sharp and filled with menace.

These Abomination Undead had received their orders. They raised their iron spears, swung their thick arms, and hurled them forcefully towards the city walls of Karari City.

“WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH—”

Thousands of iron spears shot towards the city wall with a whistling sound. As they neared the ground, their piercing screeches made players’ eardrums throb.

“Holy crap! Dodge!”

Seeing the spears approaching, players scrambled for cover behind the wall. Those with nowhere to hide could only crouch down, pull out their shields, and resign themselves to fate.

At this moment, the front wall of Karari City was broken in two. The Skeletal Rhinoceros Knight continued to relentlessly destroy the wall within the ruins, like a bulldozer.

Players on the flanking walls looked at each other.

They could see panic and shock in each other’s eyes.

The iron spears possessed immense destructive power. Even after finding cover in advance, only those players who managed to hide inside the towers survived. Those who merely hid behind a random stone slab were mostly impaled by the spears.

Players who crouched on the ground with shields fared even worse. When hit by an iron spear, they were impaled along with their shields.

A hit to a vital area meant instant death. Those who were luckier were pinned in place, unable to move, and could only watch their HP bars dwindle as they waited for their demise.

After the first volley of iron spears.

Before the players could recover.

The second wave of iron spears followed closely.

“WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH—”

The dense hail of spear shadows forced players on the front wall to duck, with only those on the flanking walls in a slightly better position.

After three volleys, the Abomination Undead ran out of iron spears. They drew large choppers, about a meter long, from their backs and began to charge towards the city wall.

On the front wall of Karari City.

A gap had been blasted open in the center, wide enough for two carriages to pass side-by-side.

Both flanking walls were now bristling with iron spears, blood flowed freely, and severed limbs and broken arms lay scattered about, not yet having decomposed.

The scene was so gory that many novice players riding dragons in the sky could not help but turn pale and tremble.

However, despite this, the players had not given up the fight against the Undead. With the front wall breached, players on the flanking walls continued to launch offensives against the Undead pouring into Karari City.

Magic flared frequently within the city, and fierce shouts of battle merged into a single cacophony.

Occasionally, novice mage players would cry out as they plummeted from the sky, diving into the dense Undead horde with a “boom” and exploding.

The stark white magical core explosions resembled fleeting, brilliant fireworks in the dark tide.

Without the interference of the iron spears, players emerged from their respawn points to continue fighting the Undead. Without the protection of the city walls, the Undead tide and the player groups met within Karari City.

On one side were the undead, moving with a dark, necrotic aura, and on the other, players whose equipment glowed with a soft, enchanted light.

Viewed from above Karari City, a clear dividing line was drawn through the center of the city, separating the light and the dark.

In addition to this, there were faint lights representing players engaged in a desperate struggle on the secondary walls on both sides.

The situation seemed to have reached a stalemate again.

Players generally possessed greater strength than ordinary Undead and had more flexible attack methods.

The Holy Trinity composition (Warrior, Mage, Priest) allowed them to hold out longer against the Undead onslaught.

Not to mention the occasional Toxic Dragon dropping mage bombs to deplete the Undead’s strength.

However, even so, the players did not become complacent, for they knew that the Undead Skeletal Knights were still behind them.

“ROAR—”

A roar sounded from the rear of the Undead tide. The players’ expressions changed as they saw towering figures emerging from the writhing Undead mass in the distance.

These were the Skeletal Knights.

They had already finished off the players on the flanking walls.

The entire wall of Karari City was now completely under Undead control. Their next objective was to eradicate the players who obstructed the Undead tide’s advance.

The roar caused the surrounding Undead to make way to the left and right.

But no matter how they moved, it was just Undead crowding Undead. The entire Karari City was filled to the brim, leaving no room for any more movement.

The players, who had expected the Skeletal Knights to charge immediately, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

“Is… is this a modeling bug?”

“Good thing this Skeletal Knight can’t fly…”

“Hahaha, they’re so clumsy…”

As if hearing the players’ jests, the Undead Ghost Fire in the eye sockets of the leading Undead Knight on the Skeletal Rhinoceros flickered.

It raised its great axe and swept it left and right, clearing a path forward. The surrounding dense Undead were either shattered into pieces or sent flying into the sky.

The players gasped at the sight and quickly fell silent.

The Knight riding the Skeletal Rhinoceros advanced like a bulldozer, with the other Skeletal Knights following close behind. In no time, they reached the front of the Undead tide and engaged the players in close combat.

Its imposing stature, excessively long dual HP bars, and the three-meter-long, door-sized great axe all exuded an oppressive aura.

“Brothers, focus fire on this big guy!”

A forward player roared, pointing at a Skeletal Knight.

A Warrior player, mustering his courage, slid towards the Skeletal Rhinoceros Knight.

However, even after standing up, he could not reach the Knight’s calf.

With no other option, he swung his sword at the Skeletal Rhinoceros.

The Skeletal Rhinoceros’s defense was indeed formidable; its HP bar only flickered symbolically.

What responded to him next.

Was a sweeping great axe.
