Chapter 1178: Cap 1176: Army Of Bugs Part 7
I was tired, this time the fight wasn't long, but my energy expenditure is higher than ever, the enemies are strong and fight with extraordinary coordination.
"Haaa... haaaa... haaaaa... haaaa..." (I)
"Master, you need to rest." (Nix)
"Not yet, they should appear soon." (I)
"Who should show up?" (Nix)
"Natasha told me, they like to hunt the leaders to take their lives with their own claws, they are also very proud..." (I)
So far, every Insect Empress I've encountered has come out to fight only when the insect army has proved unable to go against me, after talking with Natasha I've begun to understand the reason for that, her pride.
I look around seeing that the insects are making a space around us without any of them attacking, I keep paying attention and I notice their Auras focused not on me but in a specific direction.
"They arrived." (I)
There were 30 of them this time, each one of them an Insect Empress, their physical characteristics ranging from a woman whose lower body belongs to a Centipede to a woman who instead of skin has a carapace covering her entire body including her face.
There are many this time, their Auras no weaker than mine, in fact, their Auras were breaking loose from the surrounding army.
The tangle of Aura flow that connected all the insects with these Insect Empresses is being cut, but instead of the insect army falling into Chaos like the previous times, they retreat becoming defensive while maintaining the Aura flow, maybe there is more of these hidden Insect Empresses.
"(Alice!!!!)" (I)
"< Blood Ruler Incarnation >" (I/Alice)
I wasn't going to stand by and wait for the enemies to make all the preparations, I used my connection to this Territory to extend my will directly with Alice giving the signal.
Soon my power and Authority throughout the Territory vibrates as the constellations created by the blessings of the Gods shine brightly in the sky.
All blood Vampires melt into liquid when pulled to the same place creating a colossal image of me in Human form with my body fully covered in red scale armor holding two red ladders.
Without expecting anything, this giant version of me was more than 10 kilometers tall while attacking with a force that made space vibrate, but that didn't happen as I thought, the crystal that was previously inside the illusion and absorbed the power of Dragon's attacks before, that same crystal had at some point appeared among the Insect Empresses.
This damn crystal was gigantic and emanated an energy that even made my body tremble, the 30 Insect Empresses defended my colossal version's attacks with an energy ray attack coming from this crystal as they created an almost solid stream of Aura connecting all of them just like the crystal.
"This is no good, the Territory won't take it." (I)
"Navar!!! Zadiris!!!" (I)
I wouldn't be able to face these things even using my colossal version, I needed to call the two greatest forces on our side to join the battle.
-----------------
Pov Klaus:
I was following the enemy still carrying the mutilated Insect Empress, it seems like nothing in the corridor we are passing through strange corridors as it forms in front of us.
We went to a room where there was another Empress, this one had a weakened body with hunger stamped on her face and almost empty eyes, otherwise, her body seemed to be completely intact, but that didn't change the fact that her Aura was very strange as if her will was breaking.
"Don't get close, bugs don't control their instincts, we just direct them where we want."
"With her hunger, she will attack you instantly as her hunger has weakened her rational mind leaving only instinct."
"Deal with her yourself." (I)
I wait a few minutes, while he uses a crystal to touch the bars trapping this Insect Empress, when that happens the restraints turn to liquid metal falling to the ground.
The one accompanying me ripped off one of the arms and placed it in front of the Empress who opened her jaws from which a very long tongue slowly came out to wrap itself around the arm before pulling it out.
The first few bites were weak and powerless, but within seconds it became an easy task for her to crush that arm and swallow it, her eyes got a brighter glow as she looked at the Bug that helped her before looking at me.
For an instant, I felt her murderous intent directed at me and I saw in her eyes that she saw me as food, but the servant insect places himself between the two of us half kneeling to stop her.
"Empress, I ask you to resist her hunger a little longer, the one behind me is a precious ally that helps us to rescue you and fulfill Empress Marlack's plans."
"..." (Bug Empress)
She places her hands on the wall and stands up, she looks at me with diminished murderous intent and then moves closer to the wall, but specifically close to one of the veins near the wall where this creature's luminous blood circulates illuminating part of this place. <novelsnext> I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>
She bites into the vein and spends a few seconds looking at herself in the blood of this colossal creature before stopping, the wound she made closing as her jaw lets go of the creature, so her demeanor becomes more graceful and I feel the hunger in her Aura diminish a lot when you turn to me.
"Servant of Marlack, you did well to save me, but I have not forgotten that my situation is due to the fact that I believed in the Empress you serve." (Bug Empress)
"If I may say so..."
"I allow you to speak, but not in that foreign language." (Bug Empress)
"."
"."
"." (Bug Empress)
I don't know what he said, the way they talked wasn't even words, it was weird sounds and strange tongue clicks that don't sound like any of the languages I know.
For some reason, this Insect Empress' attention on me only became more intense before she raised her hand to interrupt the words of the Insect whose arm was growing a new one.
"You are not a Priest, your presence seems different, but your connection with some God is undeniable." (Bug Empress)
"Why do you have one of my sisters on your back? Why do you choose to make an alliance with deserters from our race?" (Bug Empress)
"I heard a prayer for help and with the approval of my Lords I came to seek the one who reached out to the glory of my Lord Zenos." (I)
"I'm also here because I believe we have a common enemy, the situation of your race doesn't matter to me personally, but my lord may think differently." (I)
"All this talk is a waste of time, we should be gone by now, the tremors of battle are not stopping." (I)
"Empress, with all due respect, my Empress asked to let everyone know that the time for thinking is over."
"Very well, let's move on." (Bug Empress)
For me, all this was a waste of time, but I knew that Insect Servo was being as fast as possible, the Insect Empress came right behind me while Insect Servant was following a new path that opened up right in front of him.
In time we reached a room where several larger insects were waiting, these were not humanoid in appearance, they were a mixture of birds and spiders, this time the Servant Insect spoke in the same strange language as before, so the Empress stretched out her hand making threads of Aura come out of your body and attach themselves to the body of Insect monsters.
It was then that I felt a fluctuation in space as they all disappeared.
After that we went through other rooms looking for more insect monsters of various types, what I noticed in all of them was that their bodies didn't have the same abominable presence as the monsters fighting outside.
After passing dozens of boys in a row, we arrived at a place that only had one person, and by person, I literally mean one person, a Human who was clearly in a pitiful state full of scars.
"Who is he?" (I)
"Someone who can help if we can get his mind back." (Bug Empress)
"He is someone allied with my Empress and the last to be picked up."
"Now are you going to take us to the exit?" (I)
"Yes, when we leave I hope you can help us avoid fighting your people."
ndsvl m "As long as you don't attack and show hostility towards them, I can promise you will be listened to." (I)
My lord does not attack without reason, not to mention that these insects can know more about the Apostles of Truth, they can be good sources of information which is exactly what we are looking for now.
"Come on, lead the way." (I)
When we finally left, we were at the back of the large creature, I also saw the Insect Empresses together in the distance, but what surprised me was a door that opened right in front of us, from inside came an Insect just like the one that led me here, then the two touch each other becoming one.
"< Close Door >"
The Bug Servant places his hand on the door and says something before the door dissolves into a liquid that passes through the Bug Servant's arms before being absorbed.
"I assume it's a spatial ability and the others you spoke of are in there, correct?" (I) .
"Yes, now I ask that we leave now..."
Suddenly two intense Auras collide making my vision spin by the impact on my Aura.
