Chapter 1315 The Bug Tribe (Part 6): The Grand Centipedeus

......

As Tinker was starting to panic due to what he was seeing, Adept Hands suddenly put her hand on his shoulder and said. "Don't worry. It is nothing but an apparition. Aside from looking at us and what is going on here, he can do anything."

Tinker frowned as he turned to the alchemist beside him. "That? An apparition? But how come the aura that it has is so dreadful that it can suffocate anyone just by staring at it?"

"It is because it is a higher entity than us. Looking at it can kill us due to its authority," she added before pointing her chin at the growing tree at the altar. "Fortunately, we are being protected by the Tree of Life here."

Hearing that, Tinker was finally able to heave a sigh of relief. He thought that they were going to fight such a powerful monster that they could not hope to defeat.

Then he suddenly asked when he realized something. "How are you able to know about that information? Did the young master tell you about it?"

Adept Hands shook her head. "That's not it. I immediately contacted the young miss when I saw that demonic face in the sky. Then the 'Bookkeeper' contacted me and told me to show that face through a shared vision."

"That is when she told me that it is nothing but an apparition of a higher entity," she added as she gazed at the sky once again.

"The 'Librarian' of the firm? If it is her, then it is reliable information," commented Tinker as he became reassured.

He then paused for a moment as he became confused before asking. "But why is that thing gazing at us? Or more specifically – why is it gazing at this kingdom?"

Adept Hands shrugged her shoulders as she also did not know the answer. "I don't know. But the Bookkeeper says that it must be a dreadful premonition that is supposed to warn us about what is about to come."

"Don't tell me it is a new update? Is it a big one? But we just have such a major update recently, how can there be another one?" muttered Tinker in a low voice.

Adept Hands shrugged her shoulders for another time. "How can I know? I am also quite confused."

She then paused before adding. "But I think the young master knows a thing or two. After all, he is the one leading the operation right now. Whatever he is doing on his side, I guess it is related to that thing in the sky."

...

On another part of the Sacred Light Kingdom.

A couple of moments before the purification light swept through this place, Shin's three Elemental Spirit Companions simultaneously opened their eyes.

They all sensed the incoming purification at the same time and quickly sprung into action.

They positioned themselves on three corners of the magic array that Solus had drawn on the ground while preparing themselves to activate it.You'll discover the inception of this content at n0v@lbin★

Shin, Diablo, and Leonard were asked to stand at the center of the altar that Astaroth had built earlier for this situation. When they saw what the three elementals were doing, they instantly realized what was going on.

"It is coming, kiddo. Prepare yourself and activate the token."

Shin held the dimensional token in his hands and activated it as Hanzo instructed him.

The dimensional token floated from his palm and spun rapidly while releasing a purple light that illuminated the whole cave along with crimson and black runes engraved on the wall.

A few moments later, outside the mountain where they were located, the purifying light suddenly swept through the place before continuing to head forward.

But the evil formation that Paimon and the Pandemonium Descendants left behind immediately activated at that time.

Swoosh!

A powerful suction force was suddenly formed from the pit at the peak of the mountain and started to suck all the purification light greedily along with the dense life energy that it contained.

Shriek!

The Dragon Centipede that was coiling around the energy core tightened its clutches and clumped its sharp claws and legs on the core with more strength.

It also seemed to be excited about what was about to come. It could feel that it was about to evolve into a higher entity as it absorbed the life energy.

But before it could rejoice further, Solus immediately made her move. She closed her eyes and channeled her Eternal Flames into the formation that she had drawn earlier.

Swoosh!

The rune sequence drawn on the ground shone brightly before spreading in every direction. The runes that she had drawn earlier started to shine one after another along with the ones on the wall.

The runes shone in golden light and overshadowed the crimson and black runes that were underneath them.

Taking that as a signal, Hanzo took out his weapon stabbed it onto the ground, and channeled his Void Powers into it. His unique mana spread in every direction, following the patterns of the magic array.

It was the same for Astaroth as he took out his greatsword and stabbed it into the ground while channeling his earth and mental elemental mana. Earth rampant also appeared one after another in certain spots of the magic array, seemingly guiding the spreading mana that was coming from the previous two elementals.

Diablo and Leonard watched everything unfold from the top of the altar and could not help but be amazed. The former was already feeling this way as he watched how Shin's elemental spirit companions worked earlier, but this was on another level. The latter, on the other hand, somewhat expected this to happen. He knew that Shin's elemental spirits were different from his, but what he was seeing still gave him an idea of how he would utilize them in the future.

Not long after, the dimensional token floating in the air suddenly absorbed the life energy that the formation had snatched from the one that the Dragon Centipede was taking.

The expression of the two immediately turned grave as they saw the set of skills that the monster had.

They both knew that this was not going to be an easy battle, especially when they only had three people on their side.

While they were lost in thought, a set of notifications from the system suddenly interrupted them.
