Chapter 377: Mutated Insects, Surrender or Die

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Away from the blocking attack of the swarm’s self-destructions, Dick’s Sun-Devouring Flame and the magical attacks of Zoro and the others landed on the Demonic Devouring Insects’ nest!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Amidst the continuous deafening sounds, the fortress-like nest of the Demon Devouring Insects shook violently. Under the burning power of the Sun-Devouring Flame, it began to slowly melt!

However, just as Dick was about to control the flames to invade the nest and break it from the inside, an unprecedented powerful demonic aura of a magical beast suddenly erupted from the depths of the nest, knocking out the Sun-Devouring Flame that had burrowed into the nest!!

“Level 8, level 8!!”

“Impossible!” “Hmph…” “Ah!”

“Protect the soul!!” “Ah—”

Shrieks could be heard continuously, mixed with several miserable screams. The powerful demonic aura that had suddenly erupted had actually far surpassed the high-grade level-7 that everyone had sensed earlier and had advanced to the strength of level-8 in one go! Its strength was equivalent to that of a level-5 Divine Mage! The queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects had once again used a soul attack that far surpassed the strength of the previous attack. Caught off guard, several Magi with the lowest levels were seriously injured by the soul attack!

In the next moment, a loud roar was emitted from the nest of the Demonic Devouring Insects. Boom! The top of the Demonic Devouring Insects’ nest, which had already been more than half melted by the Sun-Devouring Flame, suddenly exploded, and a huge worm crawled out of the nest! The giant worm had the shape of an earthworm and the slimy feel of a slug. It looked very strange. Just a small section of the worm’s body that had crawled out of the nest was already nearly a kilometer long and three hundred meters thick. This giant worm was soft as if it had no bones, and it could shrink and transform at will!

Clearly, this huge worm was the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects of this nest! When the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects crawled out of the nest, there were still many Demonic Devouring Insects surrounding it. Under everyone’s shocked gaze, the swarm of Demonic Devouring Insects kept pouncing on the queen worm, and then… they fused into the surface of the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects?!

The surface of the queen worm’s body was in a half-melted and half-solidified special state. When the Demonic Devouring Insects pounced on the surface of its body, the surface of its body turned into a soft state like that of a tadpole and swallowed the Demonic Devouring Insects. As the swarm of Demonic Devouring Insects was absorbed by the queen worm, the demonic aura emitted by the queen worm became stronger and stronger!

At the same time, the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects seemed to have become thicker. It seemed that the strength of the queen worm had increased from high-grade level-7 to level-8, and it had something to do with the absorption of the swarm of insects. No wonder the Demonic Devouring Insects, which had been fearless and self-destructed crazily earlier, suddenly retreated to their nest.

“What?! Why… what kind of move is this?!”

“How can the queen worm of the Demon Devouring Insects have such a strange ability?!”

“…This is unheard of!”

“It’s the queen worm’s mutated talent!!”

Everyone was shocked. Under the unprecedentedly powerful soul attack of the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects, the group of Great Archmagi basically did not have the strength to use magical attacks. Only Zoro and Dick, who were of the Divine Mage realm, could withstand the soul attack and maintain the magical attacks.

Zoro also used the second transformation of the Skyfiend Three Transformations. He raised his hand and used a Stone-Shattering Palm to suppress the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects, which had wanted to rush out of the nest completely, in the nest. At the same time, the Sun-Devouring Flame also swept over, and the surging sea of golden flames surrounded the queen worm!

“Ji—”

The shrill cry of a giant insect, which had almost pierced one’s eardrums and shaken one’s soul, sounded again. The queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects was extremely afraid of the Sun-Devouring Flame. A powerful demonic aura continued to erupt, resisting the golden sea of flames. The light in Dick’s eyes flickered. He seized the opportunity and waved his hand to release another trump card of this trip… A huge golden shadow instantly appeared in front of him.

This huge golden shadow was a golden python with a head. Its golden and cold body emitted the powerful demonic aura of a high-grade level-7 magical beast. The nine-headed golden python was the level-7 puppet captured in the mystic realm cave of the Red Rose Sea ten years ago!! Dick, who had nurtured it for many years in the family’s treasure vault of the hexagonal building and had refined and restored it many times, had mastered the Puppet Technique. Now, he was relatively free to control this python puppet and unleash the power of a high-grade level-7!

“Hiss—” The nine heads of the golden python roared into the sky in unison. Like a killing machine, it pounced on the queen worm of the Demon Devouring Insects in the blink of an eye! The queen worm was extremely afraid of this level-7 magical beast puppet that had suddenly appeared. It hissed and exploded the powerful demonic aura in its body, which turned into countless almost solid demonic aura blades that stabbed at the golden python!

The strongest soul attack of the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects had naturally landed on the golden python. However, the golden python was not injured. As a killing machine puppet creation, the golden python did not have a soul! Countless demonic aura blades stabbed the golden python, emitting noisy and ear-piercing sounds of cutting metal, but they were useless!

As the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects hissed and attacked, the golden python opened its nine huge mouths and spat out nine beams of golden lasers, all of which struck the queen worm! A series of deafening roars sounded again, and the aftershocks of the explosion swept in all directions, tremors spread across 500 kilometers of underground space.

“What… what is that thing?!”

“It’s… a high-grade level-7 puppet?!”

“Ah? When did this appear…”

“This is good. We should be able to successfully kill the queen worm!”

The sudden appearance of the level-7 nine-headed golden python puppet shocked many Great Archmagi behind. They had not known where the golden python came from. After the golden python joined the battle of men against insects, the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects slowly fell into a disadvantage.

Although this queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects had already absorbed the swarm of Demonic Devouring Insects to increase its strength to level-8, Dick and Zoro had the strength of a level-3 Divine Mage when they used the second transformation of the Skyfiend Three Transformations. Coupled with the high-grade level-7 combat strength of the golden python and the Strange Sacred Flame, the Sun-Devouring Flame,it could be said that once the queen worm fell into a disadvantage, it would not be able to turn the situation around anymore! In fact, the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects would not even be able to escape! The reason why Dick had seized the opportunity to release the golden python was because he wanted the golden python to restrain the queen worm. Coupled with the combined attack of two Divine Magi, this queen worm would not be able to escape!

Under the combined attack of the two of them and the python, the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects held out for a moment. The energy aura in its body began to gradually weaken, and its strength level fell to the peak of level-7. It continued to struggle crazily. When he was controlling the Sun-Devouring Flame and the nine-headed golden python to gradually force the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects into a desperate situation, Dick was thinking quickly in his heart. A surprised expression flashed across his eyes. He had accidentally sensed that this queen worm seemed to be a little strange, which surprised him. Dick had an astonishing idea.

This queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects seemed to have a very high level of intelligence. It was different from ordinary magical beasts. Such a high level of intelligence was close to the standard of a spirit beast! Thinking of this, Dick proceeded to do it. He tried to send a soul message to the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects: “If you surrender, I’ll spare you!!”

“Ji—”

In the next moment, the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects suddenly let out a furious shrill insect cry. Demonic aura erupted, and it struggled crazily, its insect body surging crazily.

Seeing this scene, Dick was not angered. Instead, he smiled. He was not frightened by its reaction, be it strong or weak. He was only afraid that it might not react. Since it could understand human language, its intelligence must not be low, which meant that he could continue to communicate with it! Dick chuckled and did not hold back. As he attacked the queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects without showing mercy, he communicated with it, trying to take this mutated queen worm of the Demonic Devouring Insects for his own use.
