Chapter 718: Raging Karazhan
Yun's face showed a look of astonishment. He had never expected the system to suddenly issue such a warning. "Let's go!" Yun grabbed Aegwynn's hand without hesitation and hurried downstairs.
Aegwynn was startled by Yun's actions. She asked in confusion, "Teacher, what happened?"
Yun didn't bother to explain, but simply replied: "There is time and space turbulence." Then he continued to pull Aegwynn back quickly two floors until they felt safer.
Aegwynn was very unfamiliar with the term "time-space turbulence". She asked curiously, "Time-space turbulence? What is that? Is there any danger?"
Yun shook his head. He himself was not very clear about what space-time turbulence was, but since the system had issued a warning, it must be dangerous. "I don't know the specific situation, but it's better to stay away from it." Yun decided to treat this warning with caution. After all, if it was not a major threat to him, the system would generally not prompt him.
After hearing what Yun said, Aegwynn was somewhat puzzled, but she did not take it to heart. She raised her head and stared upward. Except for the slight noise they made when they went downstairs, everything seemed unusually calm.
"Ah? It seems that there is nothing wrong with it?" Aegwynn pointed upwards and asked suspiciously. She scanned the ceiling, trying to find any possible abnormal signs, but found nothing.
Yun stood aside, feeling more and more uneasy. He stared upwards, as if he could see the danger hidden behind the thin ceiling. Although he could not accurately describe this feeling in words, his intuition told him that something bad must be waiting for them above.
"I can't explain it clearly, it's just a hunch." Yun frowned, feeling more and more depressed. There was a hint of anxiety in his voice, which made Aegwynn nervous.
The two stood there quietly, waiting for any movement from above. Time passed by, but apart from the occasional sound of footsteps, nothing else unusual happened. Aegwynn began to feel something was strange. She turned her head and looked at Yun, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Yun was also a little embarrassed at this time. After all, he had just said it so seriously, but nothing happened. He couldn't help but start to wonder if there was something wrong with his intuition, or if the system was too sensitive and made a big deal out of nothing.
"Awooo!" Along with the deafening roar of the monster, Yun and Aegwynn were startled and looked at each other at the same time.
Yun acted decisively and shouted to Aegwynn, "Quick, wake up everyone! There might be a situation here, I'll go hold it first!" As he spoke, he quickly drew out his weapon, held it tightly, stared at the stairs above with a sharp gaze, and was ready for battle.
However, what surprised Yun was that Aegwynn just glanced at him quickly, then turned around and ran downstairs without hesitation, as if something terrible was chasing him.
"Huh?" Yun couldn't help but wonder, and when he looked closely, he found that the one rushing down was actually a dog-headed man. This dog-headed man was short and had a hideous face. He held a crude wooden stick in his hand and let out a low roar from time to time.
"Isn't this a monster from Ragefire Chasm? How did it get here?" Yun thought to himself. Moreover, it seemed that this kobold didn't pose much of a threat. Yun couldn't help but wonder if he was too cautious in asking Aegwynn to wake everyone up.
"No, absolutely not!" Yun suddenly came to his senses and warned himself in his heart, "The system will never make mistakes. Since the system can issue a warning, it means that something has happened that can pose a threat to me. Calling everyone up is the right choice!"
Thinking of this, Yun no longer hesitated. He suddenly leaped forward, and the weapon in his hand drew a cold light in the air, and chopped straight at the dog-headed man. The dog-headed man obviously did not expect Yun's attack to be so swift. It didn't even have time to raise the wooden stick in its hand to defend itself, and was knocked to the ground by Yun's attack.
Yun easily killed the dog-headed man, and before he could catch his breath, he suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps behind him. He looked back and saw three more dog-headed men rushing towards him like hungry tigers.
"Hmm?" Yun couldn't help but frown, feeling worried. The three dog heads were still so vulnerable, and they fell down again with just one move.
However, before Yun had time to catch his breath, there was another noise from upstairs. He looked closely and saw four more dog-headed men rushing down from upstairs, rushing towards him aggressively. Yun became more and more uneasy, and he realized that the situation might be more serious than he thought.
At this moment, Aegwynn rushed back like a gust of wind. Her speed was so fast that it was astonishing. It turned out that she simply woke Elan up, explained the situation here to him, and then rushed back without stopping.
When Aegwynn arrived at the scene, she was immediately stunned by the scene. The ground was littered with the corpses of kobolds, and this floor had been dyed scarlet. She widened her eyes and asked in astonishment, "Teacher, what is going on?"
Yun replied solemnly, "I don't know either. These dog-headed men seem to be pouring down from the upper floors continuously. We have to find a way to get rid of them quickly, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Aegwynn nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on the staircase upstairs as if attracted by a magnet. There seemed to be countless kobolds hiding there, which made people alert.
Yun was keenly aware of Aegwynn's attention. He quickly pointed his finger at the stairs and gave Aegwynn a warning look, indicating that he should be careful.
Aegwynn looked in the direction the cloud was pointing, and after just one glance, his eyes suddenly widened as if they were struck by lightning.
It turned out that there were many corpses lying in a mess near the staircase, and what was even more surprising was that a steady stream of dog-headed people were pouring down from the upper floors. As the staircase was relatively narrow, these dog-headed people squeezed each other, forming a chaotic scene.
Aegwynn secretly estimated in her heart, if all these ogres rushed down, the number would be staggering!
At this moment, Aegwynn cast his magic without hesitation - Fireball. A blazing fireball rushed straight towards the place where the kobolds were most concentrated like a meteor.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the fireball exploded in the crowd of dog-headed people, instantly causing a small-scale explosion. Flames and heat waves raged everywhere, engulfing the surrounding dog-headed people.
Aegwynn looked at the scene in front of him and felt a little relieved. He turned to Yun and said, "Teacher, these kobolds are not that strong. Why are you still so worried?"
However, Yun's face was still shrouded in worry, and he murmured to himself: "I hope I'm just worrying too much..."
"Boom!" With a loud noise, the stairs leading to the upper floor suddenly collapsed. Not only did the stairs themselves suffer serious damage, but even some of the bricks and stones next to the stairs were broken, forming a huge hole in an instant. This sudden change caught people off guard, and a large number of dog-headed people fell directly from the upper floor without any preparation. At the same time, a small number of humans could be seen falling with them.
"Huh?" Aegwynn couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise. However, at this moment, Yun did not hesitate to release the fireball spell. "Boom!" There was another loud noise, and the blazing flames exploded in the air, forming a huge fireball, which smashed directly towards the kobolds and humans below.
"Teacher, you..." Aegwynn was obviously very puzzled by Yun's behavior. He widened his eyes and looked at Yun with confusion, not understanding why Yun suddenly used fireball at this time.
Yun's face was as gloomy as water, and he explained in a cold tone: "There are too many of them. Karazhan will soon be overwhelmed by so many corpses. We must eliminate them as much as possible." There was a sense of determination and decisiveness in his voice.
After hearing Yun's words, Aegwynn finally woke up from her dream and realized the seriousness of the problem. She looked around and saw countless kobolds and humans pouring down from the upper floors like raindrops. In just a moment, this floor was almost covered with these corpses. Faced with such a horrific scene, Aegwynn suddenly felt panic, his heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Huh? What's going on?" Elan looked at the large number of monsters that suddenly appeared in front of him with suspicion, and was secretly surprised.
"I don't know what happened, but these monsters suddenly appeared in front of us as if they emerged from the ground." Aegwynn frowned and answered solemnly.
"Boom!" Elan cast the fireball spell without hesitation. A huge flame gushed out in an instant and hit the monsters directly.
"You hold on here for a while, I'll go downstairs to make some arrangements, and then we'll go into the lower level together." Elan said to Aegwynn quickly, and it was obvious that he already had a plan to deal with the current situation.
"Ah?" Aegwynn was obviously a little unprepared. He didn't expect Elan to make such an arrangement suddenly. But when he saw that Yun had no reaction, he understood that Elan must have his reasons for doing so, so he said no more and continued to release fireballs towards the places where the monsters were densely packed to block their advance.
"Teacher, that is..." Aegwynn suddenly cried out in surprise, his eyes fixed on a monster he had just killed. At the moment of death, the monster emitted a ball of golden light, which was exactly the same as the light he had seen when the equipment appeared before.
"Yeah, I saw it." There was a hint of surprise in Yun's voice, "You continue to attack, I'll go up and take a look." After that, Yun's figure flashed, and he rushed towards the golden light like a ghost.
Although Yun had a rough guess about the identities of these monsters, thinking that they were most likely the monsters in the dungeon, he never expected that these monsters could actually drop equipment! This amazing discovery was like a flash of lightning that broke through the night sky, instantly igniting Yun's deep curiosity about this dungeon. He was so anxious that he wanted to rush forward immediately to find out what the equipment dropped by these monsters looked like.
However, reality dealt Yun a heavy blow. Although these monsters were not very powerful, their numbers were staggering, and they gathered in a narrow place like Karazanta. Yun had just taken a few steps forward when he was blocked by the piles of monster corpses on the ground, making it almost impossible to move forward.
Just when Yun was surrounded by the monster corpses and was extremely anxious, Elan rushed over. He said to Yun with a serious face: "Mr. Yun, the defense line below has been arranged properly, and the equipment issue can be put aside for the time being. You should go downstairs first, I'm afraid this floor can't hold up any longer."
Elan's eyes were also attracted by the golden light, and he was naturally curious about the dropped equipment. However, when he saw the dense group of monsters and the shaky floor that seemed to collapse at any time, reason finally overcame desire. He made a prompt decision and decided to let Yun and Aegwynn go downstairs first to avoid danger to ensure their safety.
Yun took a quick glance and understood in his heart that there was really no better way to deal with it at the moment. He could only follow Elan's steps and run downstairs quickly.
As soon as I arrived downstairs, the scene in front of me was jaw-dropping - I saw many soldiers standing ready for battle as if facing a powerful enemy. The soldiers in the front row held shields, as indestructible as a solid wall of iron, while the back row was densely packed with mages. They had solemn expressions and stared intently at the stairs, as if endless demons were about to pour out from there.
Fortunately, the Karazhan Tower is extremely sturdy. Except for the staircase which is made of wood, most of the rest is made of hard stones. Therefore, people do not need to worry too much about the bearing capacity of the floor.
However, just as Yun and Aegwynn hurried down the stairs, a small group of kobolds and a large number of humans came like a tide and followed closely behind.
"Fight!" Malfurion roared, like a sudden thunder.
In an instant, the ranged professionals in the back row launched an attack without hesitation. Countless burning fireballs rushed out like meteors and hit the monsters that swarmed down.
Faced with such a large-scale battle, everyone obviously had a plan to deal with it. Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, although a large number of monsters attacked them, they did not cause them too much trouble.
However, the good times did not last long. As the stairs collapsed under the weight, more and more monsters fell like raindrops, and the battle situation instantly became chaotic.
Yun couldn't figure out the situation and could only watch from behind. The current situation in Karazhan had far exceeded his expectations, and for things like this, Yun could only try to find out the situation as best he could.
This time they held out longer, but there were still a large number of corpses piling up, and everyone had to retreat to the lower floors.
