Chapter 130: Akina's Followers

Beneath a head of slightly wavy long purple hair was a bewitchingly alluring face.

Even draped over her body, the loose black robe could not conceal her fiery, seductive figure.

Her face was fair and full, with a delicate chin beneath flame-red lips, vivid and luscious, exuding traces of temptation.

A high, straight nose bridge bore a pair of black-framed glasses, lending a touch of solemnity to the woman's bewitching aura.

This was a mature, beautiful woman with a hot figure, yet exuding hints of dignity.

"Sister Memila, I don't know why, but seeing them I somehow felt a faint sense of repulsion, as if someone were telling me to kill them quickly," Akina said in confusion.

"That's right, I have that feeling too, and it makes me very uncomfortable."

As her words fell.

Beneath Memila's black-framed glasses, a pair of green pupils suddenly narrowed, transforming into a pair of faintly glowing green snake eyes.

As her hot figure elongated, a pair of full, fair legs gradually transformed into a slender purple snake tail.

This was unmistakably a beautiful lamia! Swaying her slender, supple serpentine waist, the lamia produced a magic staff forged from black metal and began to slowly chant a convoluted, obscure incantation.

At this moment, the petite young girl who had finished evacuating the crowd also slowly came to Akina's side.

Sensing the tense atmosphere permeating the air, her petite, slender fingers instantly shot out streaks of sharp finger blades.

Her rear raised.

Her body crouched low.

Baring her fangs, a pair of cute little tiger teeth appeared all the more sharp.

Clearly, these followers gathered around Akina all seemed somewhat abnormal!

Just as everyone had finished preparing for battle, a dozen or so green insect monsters resembling mantises arrived before their eyes in the blink of an eye, accompanied by an increasingly loud buzzing.

Their speed was truly rare.

The first to appear was a massive insect monster over four meters in length, with six wings on its back, radiating an aura comparable to a Tier-1 creature.

When this giant insect monster saw the corpse of its fallen companion in the crater below, a glint of human-like hatred flashed through its green insect eyes.

As a sharp, piercing screech rang out.

The six wings on its back suddenly accelerated their beating, and carrying a ruthless momentum, it fiercely dove toward Akina and the others below.

Behind it was a swarm of green insect monsters with four wings on their backs, ranging from one to three meters in size; their sizes varied, and so did their strength.

Even the weakest among them possessed strength comparable to an intermediate magic apprentice.

The two largest among them had formidable power in no way inferior to a peak-level magic apprentice.

Facing the giant insect monster diving toward them at extreme speed, the first to act was not Akina, who had the greatest strength.

But the lamia Memila!

A mouthful of green gas was exhaled from Memila's tender red lips, spreading before her to form a thick green mist.

At the same time, she waved the magic staff in her hand, and amid flashes of light, a cyan hurricane appeared out of thin air.

The powerful wind whipped up dust filling the sky, making her black robe flap loudly.

Just as this swarm of giant mantis-like insect monsters dove down, Memila finally finished her chant: "Composite Magic: Mist Poison Wind Array."

This was the most powerful magic that the lamia Memila currently had at her command.

Although its energy level had not yet reached Tier-1 creature strength, its special attributes were sufficient to make up for the gap!

Because this was a rare hard-CC type area-of-attack magic.

The cyan hurricane wrapped in green mist instantly swept toward the insect swarm.

The moment it enveloped the swarm, streaks of sharp green wind blades, wind needles, and other pointed objects rapidly took shape, continuously inflicting a dual onslaught of poison and physical damage upon these bewildered insects.

Piercing screeches of agony from within the hurricane rang out one after another, and green blood rained down as if it were free.

In an instant, countless severed limbs and broken bodies fell from the sky. The swarm suffered heavy casualties, with nearly half dead or injured.

The powerful advantage of being a spellcaster was highlighted at this moment without a doubt.

At the same time, Brian, transformed into a minotaur, let out a mighty roar.

"War Stomp."

The mace in his hand, engraved with totem patterns, slammed violently into the ground.

"Boom—!!"

Shockwaves surged.

Invisible ripples, following the earth's frequent tremors, rapidly spread and enveloped those mantis insect monsters that had fallen to the ground and were trying to take flight.

And right at the instant Brian unleashed War Stomp and enveloped this swarm of insect monsters.

A petite figure, fast as lightning, had already arrived before the swarm.

Streaks of black afterimages flashed past, reaping their ugly lives at extreme speed.

But the insects that attempted to resist were horrified to discover that their bodies seemed beyond their control, suddenly becoming inexplicably stiff and sluggish.

At the same time, their ferocious triangular green heads experienced waves of dizziness.

They could only, in a daze, stare with insect eyes tinged with fear, watching that petite black afterimage ruthlessly reaping their lives, yet unable to mount any resistance in time.

The tacit cooperation of the several instantly disrupted the swarm's rhythm.

On the other side, Akina had already engaged three giant mantis monsters, including the insect monster leader.

Perhaps due to being overly confident in itself, the giant insect monster leader, in a moment of carelessness, had its skin pierced by a green wind needle.

As a result, when facing Akina's attacks, it was actually suppressed in speed by this ugly creature before it.

"Ugly female creatures, you have angered me." Through a peculiar mental fluctuation, a grating, obscure voice rang out in everyone's minds.

Those who heard this remark were not particularly surprised.

After all, for a Tier-1 creature, possessing the skill of mental communication was a very common thing, nothing worth noting.

Otherwise, how would the billions of races across the Astral Realm, with different species and different civilizations, achieve communication and exchange.

It appeared they were maintaining their balance, and even, thanks to the group's tacit coordination, beginning to faintly gain the upper hand.

But they never noticed that the moment the bug monster leader finished speaking, its expression revealed a trace of sinister cunning that was hard to discern.

Reaching the level of a Class One creature already proved that the bug monster leader possessed considerable intelligence.

The instant it realized something was wrong, the bug monster leader — seemingly ferocious and brainless, consumed by hatred — had already begun cunningly and silently calling for reinforcements through the special biological pheromones used between members of its species.

Ice Snow Kingdom.

In a lush green forest, a bloody slaughter was unfolding right here.

As dense buzzing of beating wings rose, giant green mantis bug monsters revealed themselves one after another throughout the forest.

As if transformed into reapers from hell, their enormous bug eyes filled with a thirst for killing and prey, they ceaselessly slaughtered and devoured every living creature that appeared within their line of sight.

"Roar~!!"

A thunderous roar echoed through the entire forest.

Along with the roar, a series of massive booms rang out, accompanied by the piercing shrieks of mantis bug monsters, continuously echoing from deep within the dense woods.

Clearly, these mantis bug monsters that had appeared from nowhere had finally encountered a tough opponent not to be trifled with in this forest.
