"Zenos come out" Said the last clown that have a pink cape judging from her voice she sounds like a female and her figure is also the same as a female.
Just after she spoke a wriggling mass could be seen as it formed a clown with swirl pattern all over his body.
"Yes mistress?" Spoke the clown but his voice is extremely eerie as they left a sound of numerous insects wriggling about.
"Is it true that a person in this savage continent actually manage to control the illusive and mysterious rune beasts?" Asks the pink caped clown.
"Yes, I have seen it in mine and my darling's eyes as these beautiful creatures were actually following a half beast order" Answered the swirl pattern clown, From his voice a sense of jealousy could be felt.
The golden dragon pattern clown spoke "If what you said is true then this individual is extremely important to us."
"Go and capture him." His voice is calm but behind it was a sense of dignity as if one could not help but following his order.
"My lord I wish I could but these beautiful beings could easily devour my little darlings, what's more they are a higher species of insect even the insect queen that I am rearing trembles in fear upon them." Spoke the swirl pattern clown as behind his voice is a sense of fear.
The golden dragon pattern clown then looks at the silver clown besides him.
The silver clown knew what his companion wanted, nodding he spreads his palm towards the fortress as the entire space around the fortress seems to bend.
Immediately the Primordial Rune Scarabs started buzzing as they sensed the incoming threat as they quickly swarmed towards the source of the threat.
The golden dragon pattern clown waves his hand as three golden dragons appeared besides him. Their body looks a bit illusionary and judging from their bright emotionless eye they aren't living beings.
They let out a roar as they flew towards the incoming tide of Primordial Rune Scarabs.
But quickly every clown on the vicinity were shocked as they saw the Primordial Rune Scarabs started devouring the three giant golden dragons at an alarming rate.
The golden dragon pattern clown spoke "I think I finally realised what the runes in their back meant."
"The rune of devouring." The three clowns on the other hand gulp in fear as they also realised the very same thing seeing how these little critters act.
The golden dragon pattern clown then grunted as the shine on the three giant golden dragons become much more brighter as they sent the Primordial Rune Scarabs away with their attacks.
But no matter how much these three giant golden dragons attacked them they just kept on getting back up and continue on devouring them.
Their ravenous appetite quickly absorb the energy that these three golden dragons were made off.
Upon realising this the golden dragon pattern clown waves his hand dispersing the three golden dragons he then said "Attack that are based on elemental energies is useless against these rune beasts I'll have to deal with them personally."
With that he flew towards the swarm of Primordial Rune Scarabs as he lets out a roar that oddly sound like a dragon roar.
He then punched out as a large portion of Primordial Rune Scarabs were thrown back but they aren't harmed as their carapace is extremely strong capable of even taking an all out attack that came from someone the same level as Old man emerald.
Seeing that the bugs wouldn't be able to approach them anymore the silver clown then continue on what he was doing earlier.
Once again the space around the fortress starts to become distorted.
Then a hole appeared besides the silver clown as the pink and the swirl pattern clown jumps into it.
When the two of them arrived at the other side of the hole their expression become pale as they arrived inside the room of the clone Shadowslash's have switched with.
What was most the scariest thing inside the room is that there are actually Primordial Rune Scarabs inside.
The pink clown let's out a shout as powerful aura surged from her body as she slaps the Primordial Rune Scarabs away.
Not wanting to waste this opportunity the swirl pattern clown leaps towards Shadowslash's clone.
The clone was now being controlled by Hentai so of course it reacts a little bit slower compared when Shadowslash was the one controlling it.
But it still reacted albeit a bit too late. The commotion inside the room alarmed the beastmen guarding the fortress but because they are suffering some kind of motion sickness right now they aren't able to walk normally.
When the two clowns jumps back on the hole the Primordial Rune Scarabs tried to chase after them too bad for them the hole immediately closed after the two clowns entered.
The Primordial Rune Scarabs let's out a loud buzzing noises as they flew out of the room they disregard the distorted space around them as they flew towards their group.
The buzzing noises they produced caused the already violent swarm of Primordial Rune Scarabs to become much more violent as they starts to clash with the golden dragon pattern clown much more faster than before.
Before they were relishing from the high quality energy that the golden dragon pattern clown produced but now they became berserk as their devouring capability increased.
Sensing his Qi being consumed at a much rapid pace than before the golden dragon pattern clown knew it was time to leave.
Without hesitation he once again summoned his golden dragons but this time there are more than 10 golden dragons flying about.
The golden dragon pattern clown then flee as he nods at the silver clown as an another hole appeared besides them.
The two of them then jumps into the hole as the disturbance in the space around the fortress disappears.
On the other hand the Primordial Rune Scarabs have devoured four of the golden dragons but the rest disappears as the two clowns went inside the hole.
The entire fortress was in chaos as the soldiers inside started to panicked after realising that their lord have been kidnapped.
The ones that were really affected were those that swore to protect Shadowslash and yet a couple of moments later they failed to keep their promise.
Inside an extremely dark space four clowns were surrounding Shadowslash's clone.
The golden dragon pattern clown then grasp the head of the clown before crushing them into bits as the clown poofs out of oblivion.
A surge of aura burst out from the golden dragon pattern clown.
He then shouted "To think that we were fooled by an half beast hahaha"
The golden dragon pattern clown started laughing but the other three clowns knew that he was extremely pissed off right now.
He then stops laughing as he looks at the swirl pattern clown and asks "Is your Intel correct? why is the one we obtain just a mere clone!?"
"Your lordship! I swore in my life that what my darlings have seen were true not a word from me is false!" The swirl pattern clown quickly shouted.
"Stop it Amelgaol. This lowly peasant wouldn't dare to trick any of us." The swirl pattern clown quickly nodded.
The golden dragon pattern clown snorted as the swirl pattern clown was thrown out of the darkness.
A hole appeared on the forest besides the fortress and the swirl pattern clown was thrown out of the hole with a huge footprint on his chest.
Blood seeps out of his mouth, It seems that he spat out some blood after being kicked out of the silver clown dimension.
Wriggling mass of insects starts to come out of his body and starts to rapidly heal him.
The swirl pattern clown started cursing inwardly as he swore that he would capture Shadowslash by himself and obtain the ability to control the Primordial Rune Scarabs and nurture them to a level that everyone would fear him.
Just as he was cursing inwardly he spot upon a fox and couldn't help but shout "What the f*ck you looking at!"
The fox on the other hand seems to be scared away by his shout as it scurried deeper into the forest.
"Dumb fox" The swirl pattern clown then scatters his bugs and decided to guard the fortress if any suspicious action or individual would enter in it.
What he did not know is that the very same fox was also cursing on him.
Shadowslash who was running into the forest nearly had a heart attack when he encountered the clown fortunately for him, he wasn't discovered.
He also realized that the clone he left on the fortress was killed so he had to call another clone to monitor the battlefield while he will stay on his secret base.
But that earlier event really grabs his heart and shook violently he wasn't afraid of the swirl pattern clown but the other clowns that captured his clone easily.
