BXBX NOVEL Chapter 180 - (180) Funnel
Geth forced himself to stop thinking about what just happened and focused on the task at hand.
Things had to go perfectly, or they wouldn\'t make it to the Dungeon entrance in time to stop the horde.
He used his Strength to beat the Weary Wolf with his staff. It wasn\'t as effective as casting his Corruption Blast, but he wanted to make sure that Sindri scored the last hit.
\'If everything goes well, this will boost her a few Levels. She needs to get to 50 as quickly as possible before any Bosses arrive.\'
Geth couldn\'t be positive, but it was likely that only normal Direwolves would rush the entrance for some time.
The other Sub-Bosses would definitely push after realizing no progress was being made.
Of course, that was only if Geth and Sindri could manage to stopper them up at the entrance. He wasn\'t sure when the others would rouse from their current state.
:Weary Wolf, Lvl 65 (Sub-Boss); HP- 436/82,600:
"That\'s enough! Everyone back off and let Sindri finish it!"
Geth yelled loudly and directly sprinted toward the Dungeon. There wasn\'t much time.
\'Approximately 50 seconds.\'
The Dungeon wasn\'t far for him with his boosted speed. He reached it in less than three seconds regardless of being seventy yards away.
Even as he arrived, he could feel the ground rumbling beneath him. The rocks around the edge of the cave were shaking uncontrollably.
Geth did not doubt that Blaze\'s estimates were correct. It would take an ample amount of wolves to cause this.
\'I need to narrow this entrance without making it impossible for the wolves to get through...\'
The entrance was broader than the dying wolf in the field behind him. It would take a lot of Mana to decrease its size as much as needed.
At least five Direwolves could comfortably walk out at once. Seven could probably squeeze through.
He set to work, manipulating the earth to turn to liquid and forcing the sides of the cave to droop inward. His Mana began depleting rapidly, but he had more than enough to do the job.
Walking a few yards into the cave, he forced the walls to harden into a cone-like shape leading to the entrance. While he was working, Peter had sprinted over.
Peter wanted to ask what he could do to help. Unfortunately, he could only stand there dumbfounded as he watched Geth work.
Geth\'s hands danced through the air, a light blue aura constantly pulsating around them.
With every flick of his fingers, another section of the wall would crumble, only to create a perfect wall moments later.
Geth worked rapidly and without pause. He was only halfway done by the time he saw the first of the wolves.
A row of yellow and blue eyes glared at him from a distance. The quaking of the ground was so intense that an ordinary man would find it hard to stand.
Peter was about to call out but found that the man\'s rhythm hadn\'t changed at all. Squinting to get a better look, he discovered that Geth\'s expression was still perfectly calm.
Looking into the distance, he was able to see more and more wolves pouring out of the darkness. Each of them was the height of an average man or taller!
Peter\'s knees started to shake. He couldn\'t help but feel that this mission was suicidal!
"What did I get myself into..."
Geth glanced back at the young man and shook his head. He knew it was rough, but the guy would have to find his balls sooner or later.
While he was putting the finishing touches on the entrance, he felt a massive change in his mental sphere. When his thoughts merged with his other self\'s, he found that the Direwolf Pup\'s Level had leaped tremendously.
\'It\'s to be expected. He shared some of the experience from that Sub-Boss.\'
The Sub-Boss was Level 65, so naturally, even if it were less than 5% of the shared experience, it would be multiplied by 64.
It would be halved due to the effects of the creature being a Tame. Geth couldn\'t help but regret this fact.
Even so, the pup had directly reached Level 25 and was a third of the way to 26. It was even faster than when he power leveled his Skeletons!
Being a Tier 4 creature, it was naturally intelligent enough to Level itself. His other self had already handled the settings so that it could do so.
"Finished! Just in time, too."
Geth finished the cone-shaped entrance that he had been working on so diligently. At nearly the same time, the first wave of beasts had arrived.
As they funneled into the trap, the mob was forced to slow down as they began to slam into the creatures before them. The wolves became even slower as he had purposely formed many small cavities in the entryway.
With their momentum gone, the front-runners began moving with caution.
Geth smiled as he viewed his handi-work and cast a Corruption Blast into the crowd. Sindri arrived just when the first wolves were almost to the entrance.
She didn\'t hesitate to jump directly in front of them and cast her AOE aggro Skill. The wolves instantly focused on attacking her instead of forcing their way out of the tunnel.
"I\'m glad you could join the party!"
Geth shouted over the growling and howling of hundreds of angry Direwolves. Sindri bashed the front wolf with her shield and flashed a stunning smile toward him.
"Wouldn\'t miss it for the world!"
Geth cast Protection over her, giving her a glowing membrane that could absorb over 5000 damage. It was enough to last through the first few wolves.
They were pleased to find that the front-runners were a much lower Level than the patrols they faced. Most were only in their 30\'s.
Geth cast his sights as far as he could see and found that those further away ranged in the low to mid 40\'s. He couldn\'t help but chuckle.
"What a perfect situation!"
