Chapter 536: Island of Devil’s Maw (41-2)
Translator: Lonelytree
Feng Bujue ignored the enemy’s taunt and continued to survey the environment around the Leaf of Terror. After confirming the geography in relation to the Boss’ location, he exchanged a look with his teammates and said, “Okay... follow the plan and start moving.” Atobe, Ambitionist, Pegasus answered and then moved away from Brother Jue, each going a separate way.
“Ha... what are you guys trying to do? Do you really wish to fight me?” The condescension in the Silkworm Mother’s tone was clear. “And I thought you people would be much smarter than that...”
The Silkworm Mother was attacked on both ends by punches and light arrows. Atobe’s giant fan lashed out powerful gales to attack her from the back. But the Silkworm Mother continued casually like the attacks were nothing more than scratches. “For example... you guys could have separated into teams, one team to stop me while the other go to rescue your partner and then you all can run off together...”
“You did you know... that is not exactly what we are planning?” At that moment, Brother Jue’s voice came from above her. In that short few seconds, Brother Jue used Geppo to get close to the top of the few enormous crystalline pillars.
“Hmph... not bad.” The Silkworm Mother scoffed and then her body shook. Instantly all the threads revealed themselves again. Above the verdant Leaf of Terror, it was powdery white ocean. At the same time, the few large cocoons that dangled in the air started to shake... other than the human-shaped cocoon that contained Uncle Worthless, the other six strange cocoon exploded from within at that moment. Six giant and creatures of strange origin leaped down from the sky to block Feng Bujue from moving forward.
“Looks like she has prepared the stage...” Brother Jue looked at the large monsters that approached and said, “But... who said I am not?”
A flash of murderous intent crossed the pair of calm eyes. A blinding light brought forth a warrior spirt in purple and gold. Feng Bujue charged head on and activated Summoning—Bason. Instantly a large and powerful warrior spirit appeared behind him.
“Bason!” Brother Jue shouted.
“Yes!” Bason replied. Feng Bujue took out the military shovel from his inventory and crossed it before his chest like it was a broadsword. He aimed it at the air around him and unleashed the skill Chūka Zanmai. Bason’s mind was connected to Brother Jue. Golden light gathered in his arms and a real Crescent Blade materialized. Instantly, layers of blade overlapped over each other on the backdrop of a golden glow.
The six strange creatures that dropped from the sky were sliced into pieces. They were defenceless against the powerful attack and Brother Jue made quick work of them.
“Oh? There is someone so powerful among you...” The Silkworm Mother said darkly but the latter half of her sentence turned into a maddening roar. “Very good... I cannot wait to taste your ‘terror after mental breakdown’ anymore!” The roar was followed by a powerful and harsh shriek. “TSk—” This was technically the first time she had unleashed a direct and actual attack on the players. The ‘trills’ from the previous time they met was just a greeting, this one was the real deal.
“Damn you, worthless piece of shit...” Silkworm Mother was enraged. She lifted herself up high and then slammed down, intending to squeeze Atobe into meat paste.
“Qie... you’re not as fast as I thought.” Atobe skipped several steps back and narrowly avoided the body slam, he did not forget to leave a sarcastic comment.
“Ah—” The Silkworm Mother was truly incensed now. She wiggled her large body and charged suddenly forward; her round mouth gaped open to reveal a row of sharp teeth, she seemed to intend to swallow Atobe whole.
Huff huff huff—
Three strong and intense light arcs came from behind her and landed on the Silkworm Mother’s back.
“Do you think I’m dead?” Brother Jue’s voice began again. Naturally he was not dead but he was seriously injured. However, after he escaped from the encircling of the dead creatures, the first thing he did was to focus his attack on the boss. Unfortunately, Silkworm Mother practically shrugged off his three shot of Rankyaku and did not even slow down at all.
Thankfully...
“Aiz... it is because all of you people like to act on your own accord that we have to change the plan constantly...” Ambitionist raised his arm upwards with a silver cross in his hand. He used the skill “Seal of Soul Imprisonment”.
