I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse-Chapter 1327 The Second Layer Of Defence

There were four more layers, adding up to five total layers of defences protecting the golden quests region from getting unsealed.

The first layer was led by the Silence race. As I learnt from Silverling, she repeated the same words and told me a little more.

This race was immune to physical damage, and also incapable of causing physical damage to anyone or anything.

As for how such race used to fight, I was surprised by her explanation. This race depended entirely on energy, either to live, to attack, and even to take lethal hits.

The fire auras coming out from explosions could harm them as Silverlining said, but it wasn't just the sole type of attacks that could kill them.

Any energy could. And for a moment I thought about what my shield's new offensive skill could do to them. If what she said was true, then my shockwave attack skill was enough to bring these Silences big trouble.

As for how they caused damage to anyone or anything, she said they targeted the flow of energy inside their foes or targets.

Even dead objects got their own flow of energy. Messing with this and huge damage would happen.

They played on a cellular level, interrupting the energy flow in a way that couldn't be easily detected, or countered against.

The only thing that could stop their attacks would be by using a shield that was formed entirely out of energy.

Any physical shield would fail to stop their attacks. So gears, defensive shields, and even shields that used ores as part of them were ineffective and pretty much useless.

And this made me think about my pillar's shield, my chariot's shield, and my sacrificial defensive shield.

All of these were based entirely on energy. That meant if I went solo against these Silences, then I'd end up crushing them without suffering anything.

Even when realising this, I knew doing such a thing would be quite impossible. After all, such a race was coming from ten different worlds, and not just one or two.

She said that these worlds were considered the main bases for the entrapment grand array that the Holy Ones prepared for the dangerously marked races.

So if I tried to go solo against them, I'd miserably fail. And when I thought about jumping around between these worlds, I recalled that I planned to send two generals and their armies to two different worlds and this wouldn't work anymore.

If I wanted to take such grand entrapment down, I had to target all the ten worlds at the same time. Or else the forces at other eight worlds would move out to reinforce the two attacked worlds.

From what I learnt from her, there was a dense net of portals between the ten worlds. And even if we invaded these two worlds successfully, it was impossible to tell where these portals were to stop them.

That meant if I wanted to follow through this plan I'd need the help of eight more generals. Thinking about this made me recall the jumper.

"Did that son of b*tch knew about the presence of ten worlds before and was aware of all this?" I couldn't help but see through that god's scheme.

That bastard knew about all this and was sure I'd be forced to use more generals if I wanted to see this plan through. So he didn't need to comply with my threats, simply sat back and watched me with a grin on his face.

Damn that bastard!

Sending the jumper there was out of the question. Besides, taking eight more generals would prove to be threatening at other levels.

According to the demonesse's words, the other four layers of defences were also on these worlds.

That meant by sending forces there, they wouldn't just contend against the Silence race, but against the five layers combined.

The Holy Ones prepared these five layers in a stepwise manner. But she also stressed that if things went wrong and the worlds were this close from getting overwhelmed, they'd start a full out war, using the other four layers at the same time with the Silence race. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

The Silence race seemed to deal with enemies in an energy based way, but the second layer of defence was totally the opposite.

From her words, I could see lots of similarities between the zombies and the second race that took the role as the second layer of defence. 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶

This race was a swarm of flying locust-like races, using the human wave tactic in crushing their enemies.

If Silence couldn't deal direct physical damage to anything or anyone, such locusts like race could. They were ferocious, and were so bloody and brutal.

Not only that! If they attacked any living creature, be it a race or monster, or even zombies, they could lay out their eggs into the bodies of their foes.

These eggs would grow on consuming the bodies of the wounded or killed targets, ending up consuming everything and releasing more of such races out of these eggs.

So they were acting slightly similar to the zombies. And that made me wonder if the system higher ups were aware of the presence of such a race from the beginning, and if they used the zombies in the fifth quest to train us on fighting this race.

According to the demonesse, if any living creature got infected by these eggs, then there was no other option but to kill or incinerate the dead bodies using deadly waves of energy.

If this race could deal tremendous physical damage to their foes, their weakness was mainly in the energy aspect.

One race excelled at using energy based attacks, while the other had its deadly spot at the energy aspect... Both seemed quite complimenting each other but in other ways they both shared the same point of weakness.

And that was why the third layer of defence focused on dealing with energy based attacks!

The third layer wasn't a race, but some sort of technology buried deeply into these ten worlds.
