Kingdom Building: Civilization Starts with Divinity-Chapter 110: Mimic Invasion(1)

As the last 30 seconds ticked, Alchemy whistled at the surroundings.

Walls and spikes made of crystal blocked any possible entry.

"You did all of this? How much Mana did this cost you?" Alchemy questioned.

"I wasn’t paying attention, but with the help of the holy water’s recovery, I managed to surround the entire colony."

"Fascinating. Great work, Sapphire."

"O-of Course!"

Sapphire’s magic crystals were of great interest to Alchemy. Normally, constructs created by magic vanish when mana is no longer being supplied to them, but Sapphire’s didn’t.

’As expected of a Heroic Seed++. Once she becomes a True Hero, I can only imagine the kind of strength she’ll get.’

Alas, there was no more time for Alchemy to ponder about her heroes’ growth as the timer reached its end.

|<The System will now undergo a major update!>|

|<Notice: A catastrophic Error has occurred!>|

As the newest system panel appeared, portals around Alchemy’s colony began to emerge. The ones on Alchemy and Sapphire’s side seemed shy, about three kilometers away.

|<Notice: All Prospects, arm yourselves! Otherworldly invaders have broken through the dimensional barrier and seek to destroy your civilizations! The System will do its best to mend these tears in the barrier and delay the invaders.>|

|<Notice: We wish you the best. Godspeed.>|

In the distance, small red creatures began to walk through the portals. They were about the size of a 5 to 6-year-old human child, with wings and tiny pitchforks.

"Imps? Demons?" Alchemy questioned as she narrowed in her vision.

|<Notice: Wave 1 has begun! Please eliminate 0/40 Type 1-1 Mimicry Disasters.>|

"Mimics." Alchemy corrected herself.

The specifics of the creature weren’t important. What was, however, was that it was wave-based.

’Well, I don’t have a dungeon to defend, and they’re not orcs, but I suppose the Action Tower Defense genre swap only makes sense.’

"Sapphire, conserve as much Mana as possible even if it means sacrificing health. As always, just run back and destroy a few flowers if things get dicey."

"Okay!"

As the two talked, the 0/40 increased to 6/40 as her units entered the fray rapidly.

Without another word, Alchemy dashed forward at her top speed. The blur that she became startled the imps as the trees failed to hide her advance any further.

By the time they realized what was happening, Alchemy had already slammed her fist into one, killing it instantly.

Right after, she slammed her foot into the ground, launching herself into the air and toward two more, cracking their skulls off the ground. All before the system could even give her any experience.

’It’s weird seeing such a low amount of experience. Oh well. System, turn off notifications.’

"10? You have the audacity to go against the system at level 10." She said this as the imps rushed her.

Out of the remaining seven, three flew straight at her while three more in the back began conjuring spheres made of flames.

Instead of a magic circle or it being a biological trait, it was more like their weapons were causing the oxygen in the air to combust and then controlling the flames that resulted.

To deal with the closest of the imps rushing at her, Alchemy kicked upward. Her foot collided with the imp’s chin with enough force to break its neck.

At the same time, she grabbed the neck of the second and began to squeeze until a POP! Was heard.

Silver filled her vision as miscolored blood splattered across her face, but that didn’t stop her from ramming her body into the third Imp before slamming it into a nearby tree with her free hand.

"I respect the stupidity, though."

Meanwhile, while Alchemy was bullying her imps, Sapphire came charging in and stopped the little bastards who were trying to shoot Alchemy, disrupting their Sorcery and knocking them to the ground.

Much like her master, she had minimal issues dispatching the Imps.

While the level difference between them wasn’t nearly as significant as it was between them and Alchemy, these Imps were jokes compared to the Mint Lions.

Even the wolves Alchemy saved her from felt stronger and more dangerous than these imps.

The first one she dispatched was from ramming it into a tree with her full force. With the element of surprise and her higher stats, it didn’t even have a chance to react.

The second tried his best to recover, but when Sapphire saw him trying to get up, she quickly trampled over him, and the third... Met a similar fate.

As the two groups were dealt with, the final imp looked... Terrified as Sapphire and Alchemy convened in on it.
