“The Great Icebound Spell…”
Pshh!
Alex was about to cast the spell. Yet, to his surprise, two red gusts started blowing violently. Like two wind blades, they attacked the bugs fiercely.
Alex was stunned. Taking a good look, it was two embroidery needles with a red thread tied to them. It was Claudia’s weapon!
He could tell that Claudia’s needles were quite powerful. Right on target, they hit the bugs’ mouths when they were wide open. Then, the two red threads lit up as bright as the sun, burning like fire. This kind of thread was more advanced than the silk thread that she’d used earlier.
Hisss…
The bugs hissed loudly in tremendous pain as they struggled on the ground.
Alex didn’t waste time, he cast a Ten-Point Forbidden Spell, the Great Icebound Spell. With the sound of something quickly being built up, the two golden bugs and the red bugs behind them were sealed in ice.
He looked towards Claudia, who was standing beside him. “Why are you here?”
Claudia looked indifferent. “I’m not used to hiding behind others! I owed you my life, so we’re even now.”
Alex was speechless. ‘Don’t I seem to be in a life-threatening situation?’
“Say that after you kill these bugs!”
“Aren’t they dead yet?” Claudia asked.
“You’re overthinking. These are the kings of insects. They are the most powerful of their kind. Even experts of Incarnate Deity try to avoid them.”
As he finished speaking, breaking sounds came from the two ice statues. The golden bugs were untouched. Furious, they crashed their way out of the ice, screaming loudly and waving their antennas. Behind them, the group of red bugs swarmed up.
Now, the human locusts were mad, never expecting the golden bugs to be halted.
“F*ck! I didn’t expect the wasteland’s barrier to be so powerful. Not only did it lessen our powers by half, but the bugs were even affected,” one of them said.
“If not for that, these lowly natives would’ve been long dead!”
“There’s no other way. We have to use the precious demonic blood!”
The other human locust then took out a bottle that contained the blood of some devil. It subsequently transformed the bugs ten times more powerful. This was the preparation they’d made when they crossed the barriers. However, Alex wouldn’t give them the chance to turn the tables.
Whoosh!
A shadow passed, and the Xavion Sword swept over swiftly like lightning.
