Chapter 408 (1/2)

408 – Astral Spatial Silkworms

In the meteorite belt around the celestial body, there were countless meteorites of all sizes.

All of a sudden, a meteorite split open, and a silkworm-like astral insect with a pair of transparent insect wings flew out. The insect had no eyes, ears, or nose, it just had sharp, beast-like teeth.

When the strange astral insect flew out, a spatial force enveloped it, and it disappear in an instant.

Suddenly, the s.p.a.ce in front of Azal twisted, and the strange astral insect flew out and pounced at Azal’s head in an instant.

The speed of the astral insect was fast to the extreme. Caught off guard, Azal just had time to issue a bellow. He surged with demonic qi, and the muscles of his head tensed up. Even a level-3 secret treasure may not be able to penetrate his head’s defenses.

The astral insect’s mouthpiece whirled wildly and stabbed at Azal’s head. In the blink of an eye it broke through Azal’s defenses and drilled into his skull.

Azal was bleeding from his facial orifices in an instant, and he issued a roar of fear and pain: “Help! Help me!!”

“Astral insect!” Pohana, Cell, Yang Feng, and Tycon were attracted by Azal’s previous howl. When they saw the astral insect pierce Azal’s head, their faces fell.

Without saying a word, Yang Feng blurred into motion, and quickly flew to the star magic vessel. Countless giant strength bees chased after him and flew into the beehive in his hand.

Pohana also rushed towards the star magic vessel without hesitation.

Cell hesitated for a moment, then clenched his teeth and performed Blink successively, and his figure flashed continuously, flying towards Azal.

Crack! Crack! The sound of meteorites shattering echoed, and silkworm-like astral insects flew out, and then disappeared.

The s.p.a.ce next to Cell twisted, and a large number of astral insects flew out, shooting towards him.

Cell’s countenance changed dramatically, then he roared, his muscles tensed up, and he suddenly erupted with quasi-demon monarch rank fluctuations of power. His claws shot out and swept towards the astral insects in a storm of after images.

Cell’s claws, who was a ghost demon expert, were extremely sharp. Even Starry Sky Warlock rank experts would have their flesh lacerated and bones broken when struck by them.

Even human Starry Sky Warlock rank experts wouldn’t be willing to fight at close quarters with a ghost demon expert like Cell. Otherwise, once Cell got close, there was a possibility of death.

Shrouded by the claw after images, the astral insects burst into pieces, and black mucus splashed towards Cell.

That black mucus contained a very strange force. As soon as it landed on the demonic qi protecting Cell, it put the demonic qi out, and then landed on him.

As soon as the black mucus landed on him, Cell raised his head and issued a shrill scream, and his face contorted from the unbearable pain. Black gas surged, and his movement slowed down greatly.

Taking advantage of the moment Cell’s movement slowed down, a large number of astral insects pa.s.sed through his defenses, pounced on him, and devoured him in big mouthfuls.

Within a dozen breaths of time, Cell was covered by a dense swarm of astral insects, giving off a hair-raising feeling to anyone who’d laid eyes on him.

“Retreat!” Yang Feng and Pohana have just flown into the star magic vessel, when the star magic vessel lit up with black light, and suddenly turned into a beam of black light fleeing towards the distance.

Chilling chewing sounds echoed inside the meteorite belt.

Yang Feng took a deep look at Tycon with a strange gleam in his eyes. If he had been a little slower, he would have been abandoned.

Pohana glanced at Tycon, and a peculiar glint flashed past her pretty eyes.

Tycon looked back, and his face changed dramatically. He shouted: “s.h.i.+t, the astral spatial silkworms have caught up!! You two, use spatial interference spells!”

Astral spatial silkworms were the fearsome astral insects that devoured Cell and Azal. They were born with the power to control s.p.a.ce, and adult astral spatial silkworms possessed junior demon commander rank strength. Moreover, they were social creatures. Once surrounded by them, then even Starry Sky Warlocks would find it hard to escape death.

Behind the star magic vessel, a dense spatial silkworm swarm appeared and disappeared as it crossed s.p.a.ce and chased after the three.

Her pretty face slightly pale, Pohana silently recited an incantation, pointed to the back, and cast the level-4 spell Spatial Interference.
