Start as a Spiritual Planter: I Have a Game Panel

A fierce grin spread across Selina\'s face. This was her moment. The statue could no longer sustain its blessings on the Half-Drow leader, and without that unnatural power, its five-star General quality returned back to two stars.

"That statue..." Selina whispered to herself, realization blooming. She also guessed that the statue must be related to some powerful Divine creature or an unknown Outer God.

The presence of an actual divine creature would have terrified her, even her real body wouldn\'t dare challenge it, but faced with merely a statue and a fading remnant of thought, she simply scoffed, "Without it, they\'re nothing."

"The shield won\'t hold much longer," she said, turning to her soldiers. Her voice rose with authority. "Get ready to move as soon as it drops."

The Bio-Mechanical soldiers, their faces cold and expressionless, nodded in unison, weapons at the ready.

Energy crackled through the twenty massive spell-augmented cannons mounted atop armored trucks, casting an ominous glow in the dim light.

These are the special Ice attribute energy cannons, each one of them is a peak Tier 3 weapon made with the combination of Spiritual Rune Technology and Advance Mechanical Technology, specially brought to counter the Half Drow Fire Mages, after their small setback last time.

As you know Fire attribute has an innate suppression on the Metal attribute of Bio Mechanical Soldiers. However, ice and water can dominate the fire attribute.

The Mechanical Soldiers behind loaded one spiritual stone after another into the cannons, and the ground around them vibrated with the sheer amount of spiritual power inside each cannon.

Selina\'s grin widened as she stared at the fading statue with a grin, the thrill of battle surging through her veins. "This time, the Half-Drows wouldn\'t escape. It\'s time, let\'s tear them apart."

"Alas, in the end, I could not escape this battle." Unfortunately, Ram stood at the back, his gaze fixated on the chaotic battlefield unfolding before him.

From where he was standing, he could see both sides: Selina\'s mechanical soldiers gearing up for a ruthless assault and the Half-Drows below, struggling to recover from the collapse.

For a moment, he had thought about sitting this one out, content to watch them tear each other apart.

After all, he had already done his part by blasting open the passage to the third layer. Watching the two factions annihilate each other would have been entertaining.

But the reality wasn\'t so kind. Under the threat of the Shadow Contract, they signed, together with the Mind Shadow Parasites that were injected inside their bodies, the professionals assembled here had no other choice but to join the fight.

Although he had already controlled the Mind Shadow Parasite inside his body, the contract symbol on his left hand, which appeared after he signed the Shadow Contract, still made him unable to defy the orders from the Mechanical soldiers who came to gather all the shattered Professionals.

He attempted to refuse the commands given by the soldiers, but as he did so, he felt pain spreading from the contract mark on his left hand to all over his body.

Left with no alternative but to join, he arrived here with Mai and the others.

Even though they had arrived, they remained behind; the contract prohibited them from refusing orders, yet the contract alone was insufficient to make them willingly become cannon fodder.

Yet, upon arrival, he was completely taken aback by the true background of the Mechanical Soldiers.

He looked at those huge spell-augmented cannons, followed by more than five hundred Bio Mechanical soldiers of different professions, like sword wielders, spearmen, gunners, Sword and Shield soldiers, and other small groups of special soldiers.

Each of them was enhanced by mechanical fire, making them comparable to or even stronger than Elite creatures.

The special ones appeared as powerful as creatures of rare quality, if not more so, especially with the support of advance bio-combat chips implanted in their brains.

In front of these organized soldiers, the tens of thousands of cavemen he had gathered before seemed like kindergarteners facing adults.

Ram glanced around at the group assembled behind him, except of Liam and Su Mu all the others were here including Yang Wei.

He knew why Liam wasn\'t affected—he had never signed the Shadow Contract, nor had he been injected with a parasite like the rest of them. But Su Mu? That was a surprise.

"I\'m pretty sure that she signed the contract," Ram pondered, he still remembered her standing behind him when he sighed the Shadow Contract, and his mind flashed to the Evil Spirit she carried within her.

"Maybe it shielded her from the parasite\'s influence. Whatever the reason, it didn\'t matter right now." Ram already left both Liam and Su Mu behind with Nyra and the remaining Half-Drows to protect the ritual altar—the very thing that held Korrin and the other cavemen tethered to their trial.

If that altar was destroyed before the trial was complete, there was no telling where they would be teleported, or what disastrous consequences might follow.

With a heavy sigh, Ram turned his attention back to the present. The pressure of battle was looming, and though he had hoped to avoid it, the Shadow Contract wouldn\'t let him stand by idly.

Just as all the rubble on top of the energy shield was cleared, Selina gave the order, her mechanical soldiers springing into action.

The ground trembled beneath their feet as all twenty cannons aligned, in unison, they fired—a devastating barrage of ice energy that shot toward the center of the pit like deadly comets.

Each cannon\'s blast held the destructive force of a Peak Tier 3 Ice Mage, and the combined attack tore through the air with a bone-chilling fury.

As the frozen energy collided with the worn-out energy shield protecting the Half-Drow forces, the shield cracked under the strain.

Frost spread across its surface, turning the once-vibrant magical barrier into a brittle, shimmering shell.

Ram watched from his position as the shield struggled to hold against the onslaught. For a brief moment, it managed to resist, but only for a few seconds.

Then, with a sharp, resonating crack, the stone statue at the center of the shield shattered. The shield flickered and then completely collapsed, leaving the Half-Drow exposed to the full force of the icy blasts.

The remaining energy from the cannons surged forward, like a tidal wave of destruction, aimed directly at the Half-Drows below.

"Get ready!" Mai warned Ram and others, sensing the growing tension in the pit. She could feel the shift in the Half-Drows\' energy as they prepared for impact.

With the energy shield gone, the Half-Drow Leader shouted ordering others in a language Ram couldn\'t fully understand. The surviving Half-Drow Mages were slightly worn out from earlier.

Raised their hands and a massive wave of fire spells burst into existence, the flames swirling and expanding, combining into a wall of heat that rushed to meet the incoming ice energy.
