Chapter 476: Refine (3)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
In the Abyss Realm.
In the blurry green mist, there were humongous white bone ships that were slowly flying in the air.
Around the bone ships, there were some small black bats, white banshees, and bone dragons. They looked like ants that were flying out of the ship, charging to the green forest on the ground.
The vibrant forest was endless. There were monsters with spikes all over their bodies fighting the army from the bone ships.
The monsters that looked like giant wolves had black fur and two mouths that were full of sharp teeth. Those strange creatures charged to the bone dragons, bats, skeletons, and zombies like crazy. They could easily tear the undead creatures apart with their mounts.
There were also green monsters that looked like flower buds. They were more than ten meters tall and were releasing green light missiles toward the bone ships.
There were countless light missiles in the air and the surface of the bone ships started melting after the missiles landed on it.
There was also a huge black-red spider on the ground; the spider's head was formed by dozens of human heads. The heads were shouting, laughing, sneering, and crying.
The spider's head looked like a beehive filled with the human heads.
The spider's body was more than 30 meters tall and more than 100 meters long. It was surrounded by a green glow; the skeletons or zombies who were under the glow all turned into piles of black liquid.
"How dare you! Insects, you shall pay for your insolence! You'll never conquer the Abyss Realm!" the spider was shouting. One of the human heads was speaking in the ancient language and the other human heads were speaking other languages.
By the edge of the largest bone ship.
Bone had bone spikes on his back and his body was surrounded by green flames. He was looking at the battlefield quietly.
The battlefield was covered by explosions made by the energy particles. The green light missiles from the flowers and the undead creatures were hitting each other and they looked like two rivers.
A man with golden skin was standing beside Bone, wearing a white cape with a golden helmet on his head.
"The defense power of the Abyss Realm is weaker than I expected…" Bone sounded disappointed.
"Where are the legendary Abyss Lord and the Demon Lord?"
"This is the first level of the abyss. I think the strong beings are at other levels." The man with a cape shrugged.
"I don't visit this realm often and I want to meet the strong beings…" Bone was still disappointed.
"Wait, someone sent me a message." Raising his hand, he quickly created a white skull.
*WOO*
Green flames appeared on the skull.
"This is Phoenix, I'll just leave you a message. Bone, ask Vapor and his people to close all the dimension vortexes and leave the realm. Just leave a channel for the souls to pass. I think the World Tree is in the Abyss Realm." Angele's voice came from the skull.
"Huh?" Bone exchanged eye contact with the man. "What do you think?"
The man shrugged again. "Well, Eye Devil said that Phoenix released some strange things into the realm and she asked us to be careful."
"Strange things?" Bone absorbed the skull and replied, "It doesn't matter. My army is still entering this realm and three of my seven captains are here. I don't think there's anything that we can't handle."
"Same here. The bronze legion is here." The man nodded. "We can just eliminate the World Tree if necessary."
"That vortex probably led him to the Tree Realm." Bone looked at the spider that was slaughtering his army.
With a flick of his finger, part of the finger detached and flew to the spider like an arrow.
The finger part expanded and turned into a long bone snake. The snake made some high-pitched noise and jumped at the spider.
The snake was several hundred meters long and its body cast a giant shadow over the battlefield.
*BOOM*
The two giant creatures hit each other and started fighting. Every time they attacked each other, intense energy waves would be released into the air.
The noise from the fight echoed in the air.
Suddenly, Bone heard noise coming from the forest on the far side. There were black clouds moving toward them.
Bone stood up and looked at the black clouds.
"What's that?"
"I don't know, they look like insects to me." The man with a cape narrowed his eyes and responded, "I guess that's the strange thing Eye Devil talked about, but those insects look weak."
"Ask Captain Mayten to deal with the insects. I think those insects will perish right away in the flames… Wait, what the hell!" Bone noticed that the black clouds were expanding at a fast rate before he finished the sentence. The whole forest was devoured by the insects within minutes.
They regretted that they did not listen to Angele's words.
"They are definitely not the insects I know! How is that even possible?!" Bone was surprised and just stared at the insects.
The man with a cape finally understood the situation and shouted, "Retreat! Ask everyone to retreat!"
The insects were moving toward them from the land and the sky. There were probably billions of insects; also, the insects would devour everything blocking their path. Creatures and plants all turned into the food of the insects.
"Retreat! Retreat! Now!" Bone started shouting like crazy as well. "Leave the low-rank skeleton soldiers here! Make sure all the captains are safe!"
The low-rank skeleton soldiers were not intelligent and Bone could create as many of them as he wanted. However, the captains were important.
"Father… Father…" The black insects formed human faces and started talking in a voice that sounded like a child. "You… smell like my father… I'll consume you…" The human faces kept muttering.
"Consume them…"
"For father…"
Bone and the man with a cape exchanged eye contact.
"Let me handle this." Bone stepped forward.
He created a flaming skull on palm and cracked it.
"West!" he shouted at another bone ship.
"No worries. Let me take of them!" A handsome man with a slim body flew out of the bone ship. He was wearing a white swordsman suit and there was a serious expression on his face.
The man charged toward the insects and his body suddenly expanded like a balloon.
Countless blisters appeared on his skin, face, and head. The blisters were getting larger and larger.
Seconds later, the man turned into a humongous monster with blisters that varied in size all over his body. The blisters almost looked like a bunch of grapes.
The creatures from the abyss and the Nightmare Realm all started retreating. They were moving to the safe area at full speed.
They all knew that they would not stand a chance against the insects.
The blisters on the monster were reaching their limit as their length increased to more than one thousand meters.
*PA*
One of the blisters exploded and released a lot of sticky yellow liquid, splashing on the clouds formed by the black insects.
*PA PA PA*
The blisters exploded one by one and the sticky liquid all dropped toward the insects.
The insects melted in the yellow sticky liquid and fell to the ground.
A naked man appeared behind the blister monster. It was the man that was in a white swordsman suit.
"Damn, I hate my ugly ability, but I had to do it." The man white swordsman suit appeared on his naked body again, he turned around and flew back to the bone ship.
The army quickly entered the vortex in the sky. Bone, the man with a cape, and the largest bone ship were protecting the escaping route.
"Damn! Phoenix, what have you done…" Bone watched the creatures of the abyss and the white skeleton soldiers who were left behind being devoured by the insects. Some of the skeleton soldiers even had strengthened bones.
The flower bud that was releasing green missiles had slow speed and it was killed by the insects within seconds. Its large dead body exploded and turned into more insects.
"Those insects… are familiar… They're releasing energy wave similar to the ancient reproduction flowers…" the man with a cape spoke in a deep tone. "Where did Phoenix find this thing? The reproduction flowers became extinct millions of years ago. It's nearly impossible to recover the bloodline."
"Reproduction flowers? Seriously?" Bone's expression changed.
"Reproduction flowers devoured numerous realms until they were trapped in a random ream. They killed each other because of hunger and finally went extinct."
"Yeah, the bloodline is definitely from the reproduction flowers, but it was mixed with other random bloodlines… Phoenix probably found a bloodline of an ancient creature that inherited part of the reproduction flower's bloodline. I think he already knew the consequences before releasing the insects." The man with a cape nodded.
He stopped for a second and continued, "The insects created by the reproduction flowers are weak, but there are so many of them and you have to eliminate all of them. They can easily reproduce as long as they have food to eat. Also, those insects have high magic resistance and have to be killed by physical attacks. We can retreat for now and they'll die if they have nothing else to eat."
Minutes later, the bone ships and the army all flew into the large vortex.
"Retreat, everyone. Listen to my order. Seal the dimension vortex, but keep the soul tunnel. Also, notify Vapor and ask him to retreat as well!" Bone gave the order. The insects were temporarily stopped by the blisters but there were not many blisters left.
The bone snake in the air shrank and turned into a small part of a finger. The finger part returned to Bone quickly.
