Chapter 173 Insect Demon



3/4

In addition, Eris also took out, as if showing off military supplies...

no, ingredients, like a magic trick, things like a bloody big eyeball from an Eye Demon that was over a thousand years old, stinking rotten seaweed from the deep sea, fish roe sauce that had been aged for who knows how many days until it was bubbling like pus, squirming purple-black octopus tentacles densely covered in suckers...

From the reluctant look in Eris's eyes, it could be seen that this series of dark ingredients were definitely the Decay Demon's treasures, delicacies that even Eris herself couldn't bear to eat.

Now steeling her heart, she wanted to take them all out to nourish the Demon King.

Seeing this, Reji... hurried to stop her!

After a good round of consolation, he finally got Eris to give up the idea of emptying her own reserves to make seafood soup to nourish him.

As for Shermen's...

That's another story.

In any case, Reji immediately explained to the apostles that actually, this bit of holy light had no effect on him and they didn't need to worry so much.

In fact...

It couldn't be said to have no effect, but rather, Reji himself didn't feel the slightest pain.

The reason was also very simple.

Holy light was indeed poison to evil-aligned races.

But the problem was...

He wasn't a demon.

He was human.

Not only did Reji not feel any stinging or burning, he actually felt warm and comfortable all over, as if every meridian was being nourished by the holy light.

After reassuring the apostles, Reji first tested the effects of Oath of Enmity.

The first was the oath breaking issue that Reji was most worried about, and also the biggest reason he gave up the Oath Sword weapon in the game.

When he brought the holy sword to the few remaining imperial hunters from the Seventh Prince's troops, these imperial hunters had long been scared out of their wits.

The answer was given to Reji from the corpses of those few hunters he had just killed.

It could be seen that the flesh of these dead hunters began to squirm, and then, strange insects crawled out from their flesh.

They were insect eggs!

These few insects seemed to be different from other parasites. After the death of their host, they did not hurry to find the next host, but instead seemed to be liberated.

They did not have sharp limbs or strange bodies, but rather looked very simple, like enlarged maggot tadpoles.

After crawling out, these tadpole insects stood upright on the corpses and seemed to glance in Reji's direction.

Immediately after, they opened their mouths wide, pointing their heads towards the sky, as if shouting and emitting a unique sound wave that Reji and other normal creatures couldn't hear at all.

Issuing this sound wave command seemed to drain all the life force of these tadpole insects. Their fleshy shell-like bodies immediately shriveled, drying up into insect skins in just a few seconds.

But correspondingly...

"Ugh ahhhh..."

"What's happening to my body..."

"There's something in my brain... no... wait..."

"*Ahhhhhhhhhhhh*"

It could be seen that these imperial elites that Olba brought into the dungeon, these soldiers, under the sound waves of those few special insects just now, suddenly began to convulse all over, their faces showing painful expressions, as if something was about to come out from inside their bodies.

And that was indeed the case.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the next blink of an eye, the still wailing imperial soldiers' bodies exploded into blood mist, as if all the blood vessels in their bodies had ruptured.

Their bodies began to rapidly mutate and transform. Some turned into rotting corpse insect people similar to the Decay Demon, with decaying skin and tumorous lumps growing wildly.

Some turned into giant insects like the Great Demon, with hands turning into claws, insect wings growing from their backs. Some had hands turning into mantis-like blades, obviously imitating the Sword Demon. Some grew compound insect eyes, a combination of the Wicked Demon and insects.

Although their appearances varied, without exception, half of a parasite's body crawled out from their scalp. The entire person was completely eaten up by the insect, their brain taken over, becoming...
