488 Magic bugs Part 2 (1/2)

”What do we do?” The demon named Luola, who wielded a short spear. He stared at a corpse as he asked this question, feeling disgusted. A demon would only be interested in flesh when they got hungry, just like humans. If one was not hungry, who would be willing to cook human meat?

”Let the magic bugs surround this place. The more time elapses, the more magic bugs there be in the battle. Let's go and visit Sir Nailisi's master.” Cuisi was too lazy to break down the door. The structures in this temple were too sturdy, it was too difficult to break down the doors. The people inside could not hold out for long though. Once they could not stand it any longer and rushed out, there might be more than one-hundred-thousand magic bugs already.

One-hundred-thousand magic bugs were akin to one-thousand elite human troops. As long as there were a few skilled magic bugs amongst this crowd, their offensive power would grow exponentially.

In the demonic plane, there was a huge population and a variety of magic bugs. Many magic bugs were the favorite food of the devils and imps. Nailisi had summoned the warring-type magic bugs however. The weak imps and spirits would usually control such warring-type magic bugs to protect themselves.

At Cuisi's grade, the extra help a magic bug could give him was almost non-existent.

”Hmm? Sir has given the order, to ask us to… ha ha, we have already done it!” Cuisi became jubilant. Nailisi had ordered them to take action as soon as possible, to kill all the soldiers in the temple. Even though the last hall still contained thousands of soldiers, the magic bugs had blocked its entrance. Since the soldiers did not dare emerge, the problem was almost resolved already.

”Let's go, we will lead ten-thousand magic bugs to remove the last trouble.” Cuisi did not want any delays. The feeling in this temple was making him feel uneasy, it would be better for him to leave this place with Sir Nailisi. Long ago, the Goddess of Myers was extremely powerful. Even if only a tiny bit of majesty was left behind, it could also cause the creatures who were almost devils, such as Cuisi, to be very sensitive.

A menial task like commanding the magic bugs would of course lie on the shoulders of the other three relatively weaker demons. Cuisi walked at the front alone, not used to being in a woman's body.

”I have to implore Sir Nailisi to terminate the Ultimate Shapeshifting Skill as soon as possible. I will get used to this form if too much time goes by, and that will be the most troublesome issue. There are perverts in the demonic dimension too, if…”

Cuisi did not dare think further, he was just very afraid that Nailisi would turn out to be a male demon. If that was the case, he would wind up in a terrible state.

The bugs which could be summoned by Nailisi were pretty inferior. After a long time, the three demons amassed a group of ten-thousand magic bugs. Many magic bugs had eaten their fill and were now laying their eggs. Also, some of them had lost their teeth in an attempt to bite off the magic armor. Even though the magic bugs were creatures which had strong vitality, their teeth would only grow back after a few days' time.

The slaughtered magic bugs became the best food for the other magic bugs. The uninjured magic bugs were led by the four demons as they made a beeline for the central hall.

The low grade magic bugs were ill-disciplined, but Cuisi was not willing to be involved. After much effort, the three demons then brought these ten-thousand magic bugs under control. Very soon, they had arrived at the plaza outside the central hall.

Four mages were the first to discover the magic bugs. Even though they were grade-4 mages, they obviously had more combat experience. Immediately, some mages released magic scrolls, casting the Firewall Spell in order to obstruct the progress of the magic bugs.

These two-hundred soldiers were the best elites serving Bifano. The moment the magic bugs were spotted, they did not get flustered. Instead, they wielded their handheld crossbows to shoot the flying magic bugs.

In Titan, a mage rarely used magic scrolls in battle, because a scroll was too expensive. The materials for making a scroll were also difficult to obtain. This was in contrast to Sregl Island. The mages on Sregl Island did not use magic scrolls because they were disadvantageous in helping the mages experience the details of a battle. All the scrolls were created to help increase their control over the elements.

Be that as it may, the mages on Sregl Island had a large quantity of scrolls at their disposal, they were not impoverished.

A handheld crossbow was a cheap attack-type weapon, its special feature was a high firing speed. Its flaws were having a low offensive power and accuracy. Its range also made it seem unsuitable to be labeled a ”crossbow”.

Almost all the crossbows had a range of more than two-hundred meters. Only a handheld crossbow had a lethal range of a dozen meters, just like the weakest bow. A well-trained archer would enable the handheld crossbow to enjoy the same firing speed as a bow, yet it would consume less stamina.

Two-hundred soldiers fired their handheld crossbows, shooting more than half of the flying magic bugs out of the air. Even though these affected magic bugs did not die, they had lost their offensive abilities for the time being. That being said, the arrows which got shot into the bodies of the magic bugs were corroded by their bodily fluid, so they could not be reused even if they were taken out.

Hundreds of magic bugs managed to make their way above the two-hundred soldiers, before lunging downwards. The soldiers drew their short swords and slashed at them calmly. The mages were also blessing the soldiers with magic, so the magic bugs could not swallow the soldiers' armor and their bodies.

Most of the magic bugs which flew through the barrage of arrows possessed a tough shell. Whenever the steel blades descended on the shells, sparks would be created. A huge portion of these two-hundred soldiers were swordmasters, they possessed a great deal of strength. As a result, the bugs still fell to the ground even though their shells were not broken. They rolled across the ground, feeling giddy from the impact.

In a solo battle, each soldier could slaughter these magic bugs effortlessly. The magic bugs also had their fair share of flaws, and their flaws were pronounced. Their wings and eyes were areas which got damaged easily.

The tremendously strong demon called Aiwa noticed that the magic bugs who went around the firewall had gotten into a stalemate with the soldiers, and he got impatient. He bent down and picked up a magic bug the size of a dining table, and then tossed it over the firewall powerfully.
