Chapter 238: Waiting for a chance

'Clang'

'Aargh'

'Damn you, bug.'

Even though senior commander Zaid was injured by the blade of the bug warrior, he tried his best to fight the bug warrior and ended up in the stalemate.

If not for the injury in his abdomen, he would have killed the bug warrior within 15-20 attacks.

"Human, you fought well for the entire time."

The master realm bug warrior distanced himself from Zaid as he continued saying, "Just like your strength which was decreased by the injury, my strength is suppressed even more by this world; however, I am bored of our fight. So, I will finish this battle….."

'Puchi'

'Kacha'

Before he could finish his words, a giant blade hacked him into two from his waist.

'Splash'

Soon, green blood splashed everywhere.

"Commander Zaid, are you okay?"

The green liquid splashed on Zad's face too. While he was cleaning it, he heard a familiar voice and saw a single-handed young man extending his hand to support him.

Beside him, there was a giant black coloured blade.

"Phew"

Zaid didn't give his hand to Henrick; instead, he heaved a sigh of relief as he fell to the ground.

He was too tired to talk, and since Henrick killed his enemy, Zaid didn't feel any pressure as he decided to rest.

"Take this pill."

Henrick saw the wound in his abdomen, which seemed like it healed; however, in reality, it didn't heal as the blood slowly gushed out of him continuously.

So, Henrick gave a rank 4 healing pill which he got from his master before entering the treasure land.

As soon as Zaid swallowed that pill, the injury on his abdomen started healing at an incredible speed.

'He only needs rest now.'

Henrick didn't disturb Zaid and looked at the distant bug warriors who the humans were killing, and at the same time, in the skill, Master Valen's cultivation started increasing at an incredible speed.

'He is going to break through into the grandmaster realm.'

Henrick muttered with a slight smile on his face because he had already expected it from the start.

Master Valen only needed a little pressure, and the two bug warriors in front of him gave that push required for him to enter the grandmaster.

"I need to kill at least one more master realm bug warrior."

However, Henrick thought of killing one of the two bug warriors because there was a good reward for killing a master realm which he got to know earlier.

'Ding,

Killed a master realm bug warrior.

'Ding,

Gained +10 bloodline points.

'Ding,

Gained 100 crude souls along with 100 reputation points.

Note:- 100 Reputation points are for the first kill only.

He checked the system notifications when he killed the earlier master realm bug warrior, and his eyes were glued to the +10 bloodline points.

'Since master realm bug warriors could give bloodline points, why don't I kill them?'

Henrick rushed towards the two master realm bug warriors who were in the sky with that thought in his mind.

They were trying their best to disturb Master Valen from entering the grandmaster realm.

Once Master Valen enters the grandmaster realm, it is over for them. 

As for Henrick, they saw him through the corner of their eyes and felt a little bit anxious.

Even though Henrick was not powerful, the blade in his hand was not normal.

Moreover, if Master Valen is not there, they could have easily killed him.

However, if any one of them shifts their attention towards Henrick, then Master Valen will break into the grandmaster, and their king will kill him for not invading a single world in this world.

'Let's merge.'

Finally, they decided to use a forbidden skill to kill Master Valen and destroy his city.

"For the king."

"For the king."

Before Henrick could reach them, they merged right before his eyes and became a six-meter bug warrior with two heads, six hands, and two legs.

'Let's kill that young human who killed many of our bug soldiers.'

'Swoosh'

Four transparent wings appeared behind them as they decided to kill Henrick first.

'Slash'

'Swoosh'

Henrick's eyes were entirely on the merged bug warrior who now had the strength of a grandmaster. So, when the bug warrior flew towards him, he hurriedly flew straight into the air because it was the least expected move.

Moreover, he could not stand there and swing the giant demon blade in his hand because Henrick didn't have enough confidence to kill the bug warrior with his blade as they were too fast.

Nevertheless, even when he flew straight into the sky, one of the bug warriors' hands scratched him.

'Damn it...they were too fast. If I were even a second late to dodge, then I would have lost my left hand too.'

Henrick looked at the bug warrior who landed on the ground where he stood a few seconds earlier and cursed the bug warrior for his speed.

"Henrick, you can't fight it."

Master Valen appeared in front of Henrick as though he didn't want Henrick to fight the merged bug warrior.

"But, Master Valen….."

'Just find the right time and sneak an attack on them.'

Before Henrick could finish his sentence, Master Valen transmitted his voice to Henrick.

'But, can you fight it?'

Henrick hurriedly sent his voice to Master Valen because Master Valen was yet to enter into the grandmaster realm. Moreover, the bug warrior has incredible speed. So, it will be difficult for Master Valen to fight the bug warrior.

'So, do you think you can fight it?'

Master Valen asked Henrick with a scoff and didn't wait for Henrick's reply before fighting the bug warrior.

'Damn it.'

Henrick clenched his fists as he cursed.

He thought he was powerful enough after reaching the energy transformation realm; however, he was still weak and cursed himself for being weak.

'Even if I am weak, I can still help Master Valen.'

Henrick thought for some time to get an idea to help Master Valen.

'How can that young man fly before reaching the master realm?'

As for the merged bug warrior, he was shocked when he saw Henrick dodge his attack.

Generally, a cultivator can only fly when they reach the master realm; however, seeing that Henrick could fly when he was in the energy transformation realm, the merged bug warrior was shocked.

But Master Valen didn't give them enough time to think about it before jumping onto them.

Soon, they started fighting with powerful attacks making the surroundings shake with their attacks.

'I can use my rank 4 burning spear, but his reaction speed is so fast that before my spear could reach him, he would dodge. So, I need to wait for the time when he is not in a position to dodge my attack.' 

Henrick flew far away from the battle and carefully waited for a chance to sneak an attack on the bug warrior.

As for the low-level bug warriors, they were entirely killed by the human soldiers, and on Master Valen's orders, they retreated into the city and watched the battle from the city wall.

'Even though the bug warrior's attack power is just a little high compared to Master Valen, his reaction speed along with body movement is very fast.'

After watching the fight between the bug warrior and Master Valen, Henrick shook his head because his earlier guesses were correct.

No matter how many attacks Master Valen was using, the bug warrior kept on dodging the attacks as though they were nothing.

'From this distance, it is almost impossible to hit the bug warrior with my spear.'

Henrick felt that he couldn't be of any use from his current position; however, he would get caught up in the fight between the bug warrior and Master Valen if he moved too close.

"Human, do you know why we didn't merge until now?"

Suddenly, the bug warrior, who was silent until now, dodged Master Valen's another attack and asked him.

Since a hard shell covered the bug warrior's face, no one can see the expression on the face of the merged bug warrior; however, Henrick and others who could hear his words felt the anger in their words.

"Why?"

Master Valen tried to receive his internal energy during this short talk and asked him for a reason.

"Because, after today, we will not exist….aarghh."

When he finished his words, the bug warrior became very angry as he shouted to the sky before rushing towards Master Valen.

"Since I am going to die, I will kill you and all your subordinates. Also, I will destroy the entire city with my own hands."

The bug warrior became completely insane as he punched Master Valen as though he wanted to kill Master Valen with his own hands and wanted to torture him to death.

'If I kill you with my powerful skill, then you will die in just a second. I want you to feel the pain.'

While punching Master Valen, the bug warrior spoke continuously without giving rest to his mouth.

'Swoosh'

'Kacha'

Master Valen endured the punches as he silently summoned a golden shield; however, it only blocked a single punch before it was destroyed into pieces.

However, Master Valen used this chance to distance himself from the bug warrior.

'Meteor rain'

All of a sudden, Master Valen used his powerful attack, which was a long-range attack.

As soon as he shouted the skill name, many sharp stones fell from the sky, covering an area of around a one-kilometer radius.

'What?'

Henrick was shocked by the powerful attack used by Master Valen and became excited.
