Year 31 of the Human Calendar - West wall of the Holy Land of Xue - On the wall
(Tang POV)
After hearing the alert sound from the Wind manipulators, I came to the west wall.
“This is weird...“ Tang
Usually, the gold rank spiritual creatures came alone, in a time frame of months.
“That is why I give the order of alert“ Hom
Ten of them are coming together in this direction.
“There is only one thing to do“
I leap off the walls as I pull my Bastard sword from its sheath at my waist.
“Sword Art - Blue Sword“
[1 MP CONSUMED]

After reaching my level cap, these creatures are not a threat.
“They aren't a threat, but...“ Tang
I go back to the top of the wall.
“As expected from the third king, You...“ Hom
“Hom, Activate the Red Alert “ Tang
The Red Alert, Every commander on the walls can't abandon their posts and every resident should keep their distance from the walls.
“This was only a reconnaissance team, I am sure about it“ Tang
The actions of those creatures were weird, as if they were under the control of someone.
“At your order, King!“ Hom
Only one person can be behind this...
......
...
One hour after the first wave, 120 more gold rank spiritual creatures and an equivalent number of cultivators came.
“It seems like they will divide their forces in three and attack the north, west and south again“ Hom
The same battle that twenty years ago is starting anew.
“It didn't work that time, and it wont work now“ Tang
Even without Shaolan and Usain, this land still has strong people. Yue and Qianshan will defend this place with me.
“There is no place for demons in this holy land“ Tang
I point my sword to the incoming wave.

“...“ Tang
Hom and I defeated the group on this side and, according to the Wind manipulators in charge of communications, the other walls were fine too.
I go back to the wall and sit on the ground.
“Something tells me that this isn't over yet“ Tang
All the cultivators of the three cities are not just those.
...
One Hour later the arrival of the second wave...
“Here they come!“ Hom
......
...
-After the third wave-
[GOLD RANK SPIRITUAL CREATURE DEFEATED, MIND EXPERIENCE OBTAINED]
This will be a fight of attrition, should I leave this wall and go forward...?
(...)
No, I wouldn't know where or what to look for. Every wave comes from different directions, so tracking their origin is impossible.
I need to protect this place until Shaolan and Usain find him.
-After the fourth wave-
[GOLD RANK SPIRITUAL CREATURE DEFEATED, MIND EXPERIENCE OBTAINED]
Every wave is separated by one hour, and every time 120 spiritual creatures came attacking with a random number of cultivators accompanying them.
Neither more nor less, 120 seems to be the limit per wave.
-After the fifth wave-
[GOLD RANK SPIRITUAL CREATURE DEFEATED, MIND EXPERIENCE OBTAINED]
Hikari started singing to recover the mana of the fighting forces.
(Hikari POV)
(Don't give up, everyone)
As I stand In front of the statue of the goddesses of life and peace, I start singing.

-After the sixth wave-

These creatures appear to be artificial.
There are three types of spiritual creatures that repeat themselves.
A yellow eagle of two meters, a red monkey of three meters and a black dog of three meters and half.
It must be some kind of ability of the last lord of this continent.
-After the seventh wave-
[GOLD RANK SPIRITUAL CREATURE DEFEATED, MIND EXPERIENCE OBTAINED]
Even if the guards aren't able to defeat the Gold ranks alone, they can together.
Every guard formed a team of four people to engage the creatures.
One with Caring Touch, one with close quarter combat skills, one with long range skills and one to reinforce some of those.
After this battle the kingdom will become stronger, but let's focus on the now.
-After the eighth wave-
[GOLD RANK SPIRITUAL CREATURE DEFEATED, MIND EXPERIENCE OBTAINED]
Even if we can recover our MP with the Song of Mana and the Ethers, our stamina is the trouble.
In only one hour we cant recover completely, and little by little we are getting tired.
We cant afford to take turns. The spiritual creatures aren't only attacking the gates, we need every guard on its position.
-After the ninth wave-
[GOLD RANK SPIRITUAL CREATURE DEFEATED, MIND EXPERIENCE OBTAINED]
Our tiredness begins to show, some of The spiritual creatures are starting to bypass the busy guards.
“Haah...haah“ Tang
But it is fine.
The guard and the commanders aren't the only strong people of the Holy Land of Xue.
Fighting isn't the only way of experience for humanity.
And now, they will discover it.
“Haah...“ Tang
As I sit on top of the wall to recover my stamina, I can only trust in the people inside these walls.
In the new kind of society of this continent.
I've been thinking about how the number of cultivators will progress and they should be wiped from existence within the next 2000 years for this novel once the immortals die from old age, on the basis of them not being forcefully wiped by the people with the system. In probably around 200 years max all normal people would have been implanted with a system, because they want to live a better life, which automatically makes all their descendants unable to become cultivators and the majority of bronze ranks would want to convert on the basis of having greater strength and being able to keep their emotions when they become stronger, so no cultivator descendants from them either. That leaves 2 silver ranks trying to make babies with each other, which is exceptionally difficult and the moment they hit gold babies are no longer a possibility, even if they manage to make babies they won't care for them as people so the babies will probably try to get the system as they become older. So in about 300 years I would say that people who can become cultivators would stop being born due to the cultivators having become gold rank at the least and the rest of them having the system. that just leaves letting the cultivators die out due to reaching their natural lifespans.
Or all the people with systems could just get wiped from existence by an immortal and the world just goes back to how it was originally.
Nice analysis.
Doubt that immortal would be capable of wiping out/killing all the system users.
Magic is made to counter cultivators therefore, if a mana imbued object like an arrow, were to land on a cultivator it would hurt a lot because of the clashing of energies.
And yes. Cultivators will probably be driven away to the brink of extinction. Who the heck told them to become emotionless creatures!? To me , this thing with the cultivators seems like a curse.
@Gledis I don't deny that cultivators deserve to be pushed to extinction. However, I doubt they could effectively harm an immortal. Unless the Mc can somehow become stronger, or there's a player who becomes stronger than the Mc.
Given that the Mc has to use tricks to properly fight jade rank cultivators. None of the other players are anywhere close to as strong as the Mc due to the Mc having 100 times as much mana. The other players can't contribute to a fight at that level how would they deal with an immortal? They can hide and not be found but that would stop them from making others players which means that the cultivators would continue to do what they currently do. There's no strength in numbers if the numbers can't deal damage to the person they're attacking.
Another way to put it is think about a video game with a level 100 boss. It doesn't matter how many level 50s you have, they'll probably all die before they can even attack the boss.
@andyjh That’s true. If only they could have broken the level cap it would have been great.
But well. At least they will sacrifice themselves for the greater good.
Seriously. I can’t believe they are fighting instead of making a peace treaty. Pride! The most f*cked up sin of humanity!
