Chapter 1057 A Meal? No, Two!
The Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn managed to calm down as it did not see the human, but it raged the next second!
This human was too arrogant!
It could sense that the human possessed a threat to him, but it mused that it shouldn’t be life-threatening. It was able to escape from even Eighth Stage Experts after unleashing the deadly poison within, so it did not think much of this human who just seemed to be at the Seventh Stage.
It was unable to gauge the strength of this area shrouded with darkness but misunderstood that it should be at the Peak-Level of Seventh Stage because of the human.
But now that it felt scared towards a puny existence, it became offended!
However, looking at the ghastly green lamp in the distance, its eyes became hazy before becoming filled with desire and greed! It was as if it saw a naked woman in front of it after a long time! A voracious temptation took over its instincts, and even its Will was influenced.
It was none other than the Ivy Leaf Poison Lamp! The Peak-Level Earth Grade Poison Essence!
The Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn knew what it saw in front of it would provide the nutrition required for it to grow! It liked absorbing the blood of humans and magical beasts alike, but the ghastly lamp in front of it seemed appetizing than any dishes it had before that any thoughts of that human that remained were instead replaced!The initial posting of this chapter occurred via noovelllbbin
In the blinding darkness, it easily forgot about the previous matter and slowly moved towards it. However, the Ivy Leaf Poison Lamp instantly retreated as it quivered.
The Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn’s eyes flashed. It was obvious that the Ivy Leaf Poison Lamp had already discovered it and was on the lookout.
It slowly retreated and disappeared from Ivy Leaf Poison Lamp’s line of sight. However, realizing that it would also lose sight of it if it were to continue to retreat, it stopped. It hovered around the range where it felt that the Ivy Leaf Poison Lamp would not be able to perceive it and moved in the darkness, trying to circle around it.
The Ivy Leaf Poison Lamp also stopped retreating. It looked around but was unable to catch sight of anything in the pitch-black environment. It floated but decided against moving upwards and instead descended towards the surface. It touched the ground and felt that it was like dirt. It did not know that it was in an open plain as it was summoned the moment darkness had already engulfed the area.
Perceiving that it was trapped and constricted, it could only rely on its instincts to struggle, but the powerful Poison Essence was like a parasite that stuck to it, rendering its counterattacks useless no matter how hard it tried!
Both of them were out of energy in their long time imprisonment, but considering the gap between their grades, it easily became prey to the Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn.
Its body twitched, the light from inside the ghastly lamp started to fade. Its energy was being sucked out, and even it’s nascent Will was currently being eroded by the predator. It knew that it met its end but was reluctant to give up.
It struggled till the very end, trying to attack and smoke it away in various ways but it was overwhelmed and engulfed, absorbed by the Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn, becoming its source of nutrition.
In the end, not even a trace of it was left in the outside world.
*Burp!~*
The Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn let out a sound that was similar to burping and satisfactorily brought out its eroded tongue and licked its rotting lips. It had just taken in the Ivy Leaf Poison Lamp in its entirety into its body, slowly digesting it.
However, it felt great!
Its expended energy and the weak state that it was in before slowly started to improve! In fact, its energy that was hovering at five percent got instantly restored to thirty percent and was still rapidly increasing as seconds passed.
It could feel itself rejuvenating with renewed vigor, making it become nostalgic over its glorious times as its rotten face constantly dissolved and restored back!
Nevertheless, it didn’t slack as it knew the human was present somewhere in this dark, perhaps watching it with complete attention. It looked around but was unable to see the human. So, it tried to move in one direction, thinking that it would eventually reach the exit.
But this time again, its orbs widened into two saucers as it laid its eyes on a lone yet clueless purple beetle that fluttered its dark wings in the utter darkness.
Another Poison Essence!?
The next moment, its two wide yet sly eyes narrowed into two tiny slits as its lips turned into a smirk.
This little beetle would become its nutrition just like the previous one!
