I Can Program My Body? - Chapter 238

238: Dark Beast Tide 238: Dark Beast Tide Paying off 1.3 trillion from the 1.7 trillion they gathered over the past week, a massive change began to sweep the shelter.

First, the wall emerged from the ground as the materials they mined began to disappear one after another.

Next came the defensive fort, towering over the walls.

Possessing the power of elements, it began to clear away the dark beast that got close to its range.

Watching these two protective structures rise from the ground, the group of seeded talent couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Soon, after the wall and defensive forts, the residences and processing facilities began to appear.

From a grand hall in the center for their meetings, over three hundred residences, and huge factories that could autonomously process materials, everything quickly took shape.

“This is awesome!” “This is the first time I’ve seen such fast construction.” “Haha, this is nothing.

Once we unlock grander and more special structures, it’ll be even better.” “The Void Administrator was truly omnipotent.” While chattering, they began to explore the grand hall, residences, and various processing facilities.

Seeing that they held complete supporting equipment and furniture, they felt even happier.

“The merits we spent were really worth it.” “That’s right.

Although it’s not as exquisite as reality, it’s still a place to marvel at.” Seeing through the runic programs of the buildings, Nash was even more amazed.

Instead of being separate entities, each building seemed integrated into one.

Like a large aggregate of trees, they might differ in appearance, but inside, they were all connected.

Passing through the wall and the defensive fort, their sense of safety grew stronger.

“This wall seems to have a unique power,” one of them couldn’t help but notice.

“Of course, this was built by the Void Administrator.

How could it be simple?” Looking closely, Nash quickly understood what the veterans were talking about.

The wall wasn’t just a physical entity but a defensive marvel.

Although it might seem like just a wall, from the air to the ground, an invisible aura quietly spread, drawing every dark beast to it.

This meant that whether it was a flying or underground dark beast, once they entered the wall’s range, they would unconsciously head toward it, ignoring all logic.

Of course, a lord-level dark beast was a different matter.

Although it was the same dark beast without intelligence, it had a higher priority and couldn’t be affected by the hypnotic-like power of the wall.

Going around the wall, they began to look through each defensive fort.

“It’s only a tier 1 defensive fort.

What a pity.” A tier 1 defensive fort could only kill tier 1 dark beasts.

Being in a five-star danger zone, it was almost as good as useless.

“The defensive fort isn’t meant to kill but to hold back.

Don’t think it’s useless just because it’s weak,” one of the veterans reminded.

Although the defensive forts didn’t have much power, their binding effect was still strong.

Blessed by various elemental powers, even tier 4 and 5 dark beasts would have to slow down under their might.

“Huh?

The barrier is falling!” Suddenly, while they were chattering, the shelter’s barrier began to dissipate.

The reason they were shocked was that there should still have been a few hours before it would fade.

Removing the barrier ahead of time could only mean one thing: a dark beast tide was battering the place, causing it to overdraw in advance.

“Not good, it’s a dark beast tide!” Seeing hordes of dark beasts, they felt a chill in their hearts.

“It seems we’ve been too smooth sailing that luck has turned against us.” “No, it must be the commotion caused by the generation of these structures.” The shelter’s barrier only muffled the sound coming from inside and didn’t completely erase it.

Coupled with the massive aura surging from these buildings, it wasn’t surprising that the surrounding dark beasts began to riot.

“Get into position.

Chat in the Communication Port if you have difficulty defending,” Nash quickly ordered while issuing another mission.

[Mission: Defend the Starfire Shelter from the dark beast tide.] Along with the mission were the coordinates for each seeded talent to defend.

Nash hadn’t made the shelter too big at the start.

The wall spanned only a 10-kilometer radius.

With over three hundred seeded talents, it wouldn’t be difficult to defend the place.

— Defending the southeast wall, Nash watched the tide of dark beasts rushing toward them.

“Fortunately, it seems there’s no real danger…” Nash sighed.

After scanning the charging dark beasts, he didn’t spot any lord-level ones.

The strongest dark beast he saw had a combat power of just over 500 million.

Brandishing his tier 4 runic weapon and donning his armor, he leaped to the ground.

Soon, drawn by his life aura, the dark beasts began charging toward him.

Activating the [Combat Module System], Nash went on a killing spree.

One after another, with each swipe of his weapon, a dark beast fell, turning into merits.

While slaying every dark beast in sight, a smile crept onto his face as Nash forgot the dangerous situation.

“Here comes a monster…” [Shadowfiend: Tier 5 Mutated Combat Power: 590 million] Growing serious, Nash faced the enemy at full power.

Activating the [Overlimit Module System] to cope with the enemy, his strength quickly tripled.

Slash~ Transforming his tier 4 runic weapon into a giant sword, he left a huge dent in the enemy’s neck.

“Pretty tough…” Barely causing a spark, Nash increased the intensity of his power.

Dodging left and right while killing weaker dark beasts coming from all directions, his adrenaline surged.

“NOW!” Finally spotting an opening, his strength exploded 60 times, boosting his power to 654 million.

Slashing from top to bottom, the Shadowfiend split in two.

[Shadowfiend killed: +550 million merits] Not pausing for a second, Nash began targeting all the high-power dark beasts.

[Death Knight killed: +130 million merits] [Ice Wraith killed: +150 million merits] [Infernal Knight killed: +100 million merits] [Demonic Behemoth killed: +90 million merits] One after another, focusing on those with combat power in the tens of millions, Nash went on a killing spree.
