The situation isn’t looking great.
Rhode held his sword and knitted his brows at this scene. The pitch-black and silver flames interwove to form a defense barrier around him. However, this was far from enough because they began feeling tremendous pressure after the centipede split into thousands of smaller centipedes. Each of the meter-long creatures was built with four metallic limbs and their both ends had creepy, sharp mouth parts. Although everyone’s attacks could effectively eliminate them, the creatures would instantly regenerate and increase in numbers.
“This is getting tough.”
Rhode mumbled under his breath. At this moment, Celestina scoffed and brandished her pitch-black chain sword, slicing into half one of the creatures that pounced on her. Then, the dark flames surged on the wounds and the creature squirmed on the ground. But shortly after, two metallic limbs grew from its severed wounds and it stood up once again.
It was like a splitting cell. One turned into two and two turned into four. It was completely endless.
Nothing good would come out of this if this continued. As a player, Rhode instinctively realized this danger. He knew that the original BOSS in this area had the powerful ability to regenerate and it was apparent that this centipede had also inherited this ability. Although Celestina’s and Celia’s flames could deal a certain amount of damage to them, the damage wasn’t lethal enough. Besides… Rhode lifted his head and looked at the young lady who was swinging her sword like the Grim Reaper.
“Ahahahahah!”
All Shira did was let out crazy laughter, mercilessly slashing the ground to bring down the enemies, slowing their rate of regeneration. She was just immersed in the thrill of slaughtering like a drug addict. She greedily soaked in the enjoyment and didn’t care about the consequences of her actions.
———!
The creatures surrounding her spotted the chance to launch their attacks. They sprung off the ground and bit into her arms with their razor-sharp mouth parts—spinning and ripping into her tender flesh. As soon as she came to a halt, two other creatures crawled up her legs and dug into her flesh. Then, her skin bulged as blood spurted with sharp, long needles piercing out from within.
If she were a human, perhaps she would be crying and praying now. But it was a pity that she was also a creature and was one at a level above them.
“Hahaha… Hahaha…!”
Shira slashed her blade on the part of her legs that was infested by the bugs. The bugs flew out of her flesh and at the same time, she blasted a powerful whirlwind that shredded them into bits. Not only that, but she also lowered her head, bit, and tugged the creature that punctured her arm.
The dismantled creature spiraled in the air and vanished into nothingness from the red whirlwind.
“Ahahahahaah! How painful, but it isn’t enough. Not enough! Give me more! More pain!”
She howled with laughter and released the steel chains on her body in all directions. In an instant, the wild, red whirlwind enveloped everything and not a single being was spared.
Boom!
Marlene raised the staff—countless streaks of lightning descended from above and struck the metallic creatures, stopping their movements instantly. On the other hand, Anne lifted her shield and her emerald green eyes emanated a shimmering radiance, and strong winds rose from the ground and eradicated the threat before her.
