Chapter 888: Two Throws to Break the Tower!
Even the Detection Eye itself probably never expected it would be directly destroyed by a human from ten thousand meters above.
In order to expand the scanning range of the Detection Eye—
All Detection Eyes floated outside the tower, not within its defensive barrier.
Because the inner defenses blocked information.
If the Detection Eye were inside, its detection range would be reduced by 50%.
As long as its sensory tendrils were still connected to the tower's magic intelligence center, it could still transmit intel if something went wrong.
Furthermore—
The Detection Eye also came with its own high-level magical barrier.
Even an all-out attack from a level 190 powerhouse could be withstood.
However—
Even with such powerful defenses, it was instantly killed.
That only meant one thing—
The attacker's power far surpassed an ordinary level 190 fighter.
But so what?
It didn't even realize it had died.
Those who witnessed the Detection Eye pop like a balloon could only gape in shock.
The Detection Eye never expected to be one-shotted.
But neither did David, Jana, Moldes, and the rest.
In this moment—
David, Jana, and the others had to accept the truth:
In their duel with Ling Zhan, he hadn't used even a fraction of his real strength.
If he had used that throw from the start, they'd have died without understanding how.
Insane!
Absolutely insane!
"And the funny thing is…"
"Jonathan is still running his mouth in denial!"
"If he'd seen this, even he would be forced to shut up!"
David muttered to himself.
In truth—
His teammates were all thinking the same.
But they were scattered in separate squads, so they could only sigh privately.
No wonder this non-specialist dares lead the Demon-Slaying Legion on such a difficult mission alone!
His strength was already at world-class level!
At just over level 160, Ling Zhan stood at the top of lower realm power!
With the eye destroyed—
The tower's defenders quickly reacted.
At the same time—
David, Jana, Alchi, and Elbert raised their hands, leading their 500-member squads charging toward the nearby camps!
The most feared Detection Eye was gone.
The Demon Tribe had lost their vision.
By the time David's group reached within 100 meters, the enemy finally reacted!
Back at the tower—
The sudden death of the Detection Eye disrupted the intelligence center.
The maintenance fiends didn't hesitate, rushing in to fix the system.
Wooo wooo!!
Finally—
The signal horn was blown.
Its cry spread across the region, alerting the nearby camps.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"All units, prepare for battle!"
A level 170 Demon Emperor roared in his tongue.
His four crimson eyes stared in terror at the obliterated Detection Eye, realizing the enemy was terrifying!
He was no match!
And ten thousand meters above—
Ling Zhan calmly reached out.
The invisible Mage Hand placed the second Sea God Trident into his grasp.
Mage Hand formed a magic hand from mana, used for grabbing objects.
It was a beginner spell for mages—
A utility skill, really.
Those floating tomes and items around mages? Not telekinesis.
Just Mage Hand.
Countless invisible hands held their tools for them.
In the past—
This skill was jokingly called the "Shopping God Skill."
Because it meant you didn't have to carry bags.
Though to be fair—
Storage rings worked just as well.
But for holding books or phones in bed, Mage Hand was handy.
Now—
The second trident appeared in Ling Zhan's hand.
"Go!!"
Moldes, Ye Qingling, and the others snapped out of their shock, diving toward the tower!
Swoosh!!
As they dropped—
A second Sea God Trident, radiating a hundred meters of brilliant light, blasted ahead of them!
"What the..."
What shocked them most—
The second throw was even stronger!
And—
The first trident had lodged ten inches deep into the barrier after destroying the eye.
The second landed precisely at the same spot!
Like drilling into steel—
One strike wouldn't penetrate.
But repeated strikes at the same spot—
Would eventually break through.
Ling Zhan's double throws followed the same logic.
Plus, both attacks had the "Blast" skill for extra siege damage.
So, unsurprisingly—
In less than a second—
BOOM!!
A deafening crack and shatter!
Under the Demon Emperor's terrified gaze—
The tower's barrier shattered!
And—
The trident's final target locked onto the level 170 Demon Emperor!
"No..."
He froze in terror, then turned to flee!
