National Tower Defense Survival: Start Awakening Fusion System

13: The final trump card! Become a hero and fight in person!“Do you wish to enable Elite Challenge?”

A line of blood-red warning, like a searing brand, deeply seared into Lin Feng’s vision.

“Elite Challenge mode risk increased! Failure to challenge will result in the immediate destruction of the fortress and the death of the Lord! Please choose carefully!”

This was no longer a gentle beginner’s tutorial.

This was a death notice.

One wrong step, and it would be an abyss of no return.

Lin Feng’s gaze, however, calmly moved away from the blood-red warning, like a still, cold pond.

His thoughts landed on his own panel.

“Gold: 4200”

“heavy oil: 700”

“Defense Tower Slots: 5 (Vacant)”

He still had five vacant tower slots, holding a massive sum of money that would drive any survivor insane.

But this was not capital for complacency.

Instead, it was his only bargaining chip to face death head-on.

More importantly…

Lin Feng’s thoughts, like a sharp sword, pierced into the ancient Hero Altar!

“Hero: Barbarian King (Level 3)”

“Required to upgrade to Level 4: heavy oil x300”

“Required to upgrade to Level 5: heavy oil x400”

Seven hundred points of heavy oil.

Not too much, not too little, just enough to push the Hero to that qualitative Level 5, where he unlocks a skill!

Give up?

Choosing stability here would be equivalent to burying the leading advantage he had risked his life for, and then waiting to be slowly devoured by this bloody world.

What he wanted to do was to walk this path to an unreachable end!

Gamble!

If he still lost like this, it could only prove that he was not strong enough!

Lin Feng’s eyes, in an instant, became sharp as knives, as if to pierce through the dim yellow sky!

“Activate, Elite Challenge.”

“Warning! Elite Challenge has been activated, good luck to you!”

“Elite monster attributes have received a massive boost, please prepare!”

Before the cold notification sound completely faded, Lin Feng’s thoughts already struck the Hero Altar like thunder!

“Upgrade!”

“Consumed heavy oil x300, Barbarian King’s level increased to 4!”

“Consumed heavy oil x400, Barbarian King’s level increased to 5!”

Boom!

Above the altar, the Barbarian phantom holding a giant axe, his body once again swelled, his muscles bulging like indestructible granite!

In his hollow eyes, two blazing blood-red flames suddenly ignited, as if he were a demon god returned from hell!

A brand new skill icon, shimmering with brilliant golden light, suddenly lit up like a star below his attribute panel!

“Hero: Barbarian King”

“Level”: 5

“Attack”: 100

“Health”: 1000

“Skill”: “Rage” (Active) — The Hero lets out an earth-shattering war cry, immediately restoring 30% of his maximum health, and summoning 10 Barbarian warriors (Health 50, Attack 10) to fight for you! At the same time, the Hero himself enters a Rage state, increasing his attack power and attack speed by 50% for 10 seconds! (Cooldown: 5 minutes)

Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat at the terrifying effect of this skill.

This was a divine skill born for turning the tide in desperate situations!

He did not hesitate in the slightest; his thoughts moved again.

“Transform into Hero.”

Buzz—

The entire world, in Lin Feng’s perception, instantly collapsed and reorganized!

No longer the God’s-eye view, looking down on everything from above.

His consciousness was forcefully dragged by an irresistible power into that body filled with explosive strength!

He could clearly feel the wild power contained within every muscle fiber!

He could feel the cold metallic texture of the heavy giant axe in his hand, as if it were an extension of his arm!

He could even hear the wild heart beating like a war drum in his chest, each beat making his blood surge and roar through his veins!

An unparalleled sense of power filled every corner of his body!

And at this moment.

The mist outside the fortress surged violently, and the first wave of Elite monsters arrived!

“Elite Goblin x500!”

“Attributes: Health 50, Armor 10, Attack 15”

Five hundred Elite monsters, their bodies a size larger than before, with tough, dark green skin, roared out of the mist like a surging dark green flood!

Lin Feng, now the Barbarian King, didn’t even bother to look at them.

He merely slowly raised the giant axe in his hand, pointing it towards the surging green tide.

A silent command.

Behind him, the ferocious Twin-Rail Magic Catapult seemed to sense its master’s fighting spirit, letting out a low roar!

Boom!

Two stone projectiles the size of millstones tore through the air, whistling out and accurately smashing into the densest part of the Goblins.

“-5!”

“-5!”

“-5!”

A series of insignificant damage numbers floated up sparsely.

The high 10 points of armor, like a layer of tough cowhide, almost completely negated the physical damage of the Trebuchet!

The stone projectiles hitting them only caused them to be slightly knocked back; their charge showed no substantial hindrance!

Lin Feng’s eyes showed no change.

As expected.

“Build two Trebuchet.”

“Consumed Gold x400.”

“Synthesize!”

With a thought, the two Trebuchet that had just risen from the ground instantly transformed into streaks of light, forcibly merging under Lin Feng’s will, turning into a cruder, more violent Giant Stone Catapult, standing side by side with the first one!

“Giant Stone Catapult”

“Quality: Green”

“Attack: 20”

“Special Effect: “Crushing Pressure” (Passive) — Enemies hit will suffer a brief stun effect.”

Two magic stone projectiles once again whistled out.

Following closely behind was an even larger, more imposing giant stone, smashing down with the momentum of crushing everything!

Rumble!

This attack was mighty!

The giant stone hit a wider area, and the shockwave sent large numbers of Goblins flying, with stun symbols appearing above their heads!

-10!

-10!

-10!

The damage was still negligible!

But the control effect caused a slight disruption in that fearless green tide!

Yet, this still could not stop them!

They charged too fast, and there were too many of them!

In the blink of an eye, their ferocious faces had already reached less than a hundred meters from the city wall!

In Lin Feng’s pupils, the clear reflection of the insane green tide that was about to engulf everything.

He slowly raised his left hand, aiming at the sky filled with Goblins.

His thoughts sank into the Spell Factory, which was already poised and ready.

“Release.”

“Volley of Arrows!”
