The Last King Of Darkness
Chapter 529 - 330: Change of Situation

Chapter 529: Chapter 330: Change of Situation

This was a thoroughly exhilarating victory; everyone was extremely happy.

Once they found a method to confront it, the Big King Ant didn’t seem particularly hard to deal with. Rod didn’t even use his "Pioneer of Destruction."

Cilly said with a laugh, "After we return this time, we can definitely become the best-performing newcomers in this battle, right?"

"Hmm... There should be quite a few Hall Badges, right? My Trident should be enough."

Lannis adjusted his glasses, pondering deeply, "Anna’s role seems to be much bigger than we thought... and Mephit’s continuous freeze, why is it so strong?"

Anna proudly strutted over, flaunting her javelin before everyone and continuously asked, "Am I strong? Was I useful?"

Mephit stood quietly to the side, remaining as taciturn as usual.

Cilly swept away the ashes, stuffed them into an urn, and smiled, "At a time like this, I really wish I could have a bowl of Soul Soup. The ashes of the Big King Ant are pretty delicious."

Lannis stated calmly, "According to research, the ashes of the Big King Ant are not suitable for making soup."

"Shut up, you big liar!"

Rod laughed, "Stop bickering. The key here is hunting the Big King Ant. It’s rare that we cooperate so well and have grasped its hunting tactics. Why not exterminate them sooner?"

"Yes! Exterminate the Big King Ants and find the Insect Queen. I want to see Lord Alan chop it into pieces with one sword strike!"

Lannis adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "If we follow this path, about forty thousand yards away, we should find the Big King Ant. Rod’s special technique is very effective; we can identify the most elusive Big King Ant and reduce the pressure for others."

This statement received everyone’s approval, and they immediately sprung into action.

The distance of forty thousand yards was on the fringe of the central area; Big King Ants often lurk underground. As long as it conserves its Spiritual Energy, normal reconnaissance methods are hardly effective. Thick physical materials are the best barrier to block Spiritual Vision.

However, the special method derived from the Light Platform could directly detect similar Spiritual Energy, and the Big King Ant, no matter how deeply buried, would be detected by Rod.

After finding a way to counter the Spiritual Power Shock, this team of five had a very clear restraint on the Big King Ants.

Cilly’s silver broadsword was good for both offense and defense, capable and resilient with significant Spiritual Energy.

Lannis’s wind blade was sharp and swift, dealing high damage to the Big King Ants.

Rod was even more so the main damage dealer.

Together with continuous paralysis and freezing from a distance, the Big King Ant was completely overpowered and ultimately defeated bitterly by Rod.

The team continued to search along the periphery of the central area, uncovering one Big King Ant after another, annihilating them one by one.

The more they fought, the smoother their movements became, and their killing efficiency increased. The once formidable monster was now powerless in their hands.

By the end of the day, they had hunted more than twenty Big King Ants.

When Lannis reported their achievements to his teacher Chucher, everyone was taken aback.

Chucher’s face, full of cheek meat, trembled, looking fierce, but it was actually an extremely joyous expression.

"Excellent! Lads, you have not let me down. You hunted the most of all the Hall Warriors today! With the number of Big King Ants decreasing, we should soon find that detestable Insect Queen!"

"Teacher, how is the situation in the region now? How much longer for the main army corps?"

Chucher snorted, seemingly dissatisfied.

"You’d better ask First Commander Herman about these issues. We’ve now split up, and all the High Rank Combatants have entered the central area to hunt the Big King Ants. Forget about the main army corps; they’re too slow, at least seven or eight days from arriving."

"I understand."

The Spiritual Energy communication was supposed to end there, but Chucher suddenly said in a low voice, "Lads, try to hunt as quickly as possible. I have a bad feeling about this."

Lannis was just about to ask further when Chucher had already cut off the Spiritual Energy communication.

The others looked at each other, all puzzled.

Though it was just a simple sentence, the Guardian’s intuition was not to be ignored.

A shadow inexplicably hung over everyone’s minds; the next day, they continued towards the central area to hunt the Big King Ants.

It started smoothly, but soon they encountered more and more ordinary King Ants.

While not particularly strong, the King Ants were indeed Lower Strong Rank, and they became difficult to handle in large numbers.

The team exhausted a great deal of effort to eliminate this group of King Ants, and had no time to catch their breath when they saw an urgent distress signal.

Other Hall Warriors here were in danger.

The group quickly rushed to the scene, and indeed found a large group of King Ants fiercely battling two individuals.

Cilly shouted, "It’s Frank from Mushroom City, Ryan from Green Grass Town! They can’t hold on, let’s go help them!"

Rod gave a signal, and Anna swiftly leaped into the center of the fight.

Lannis intuitively raised a wind wall around them, temporarily separating the creatures.

Anna quickly carried the two men and leaped back.

When the two landed, they were already unable to stand steadily, covered in wounds, and Cilly hurriedly took out a Recovery Potion and made them drink it.

Before anyone could speak, Ryan from Green Grass Town exclaimed urgently, "Careful! There’s a Big King Ant behind!"

Rod suddenly looked up and indeed saw a larger King Ant behind the swarm.

"Damn!"

Lannis’s heart jolted, and he immediately shouted, "Cilly, hold it off! Rod, let’s quickly eliminate these Big King Ants! Then go support Cilly."

Cilly stepped forward and with a swing of her sword, drew away the Big King Ant.

On the other side, at least twenty King Ants attacked them all at once. Lannis immediately used the Gale to slow their pace, while Rod popped a "Pioneer of Destruction," twisted flames burning on his body, with starlight twinkling at his fingertips. The Star Light Long Sword and Star Light Shield were almost instantly conjured.

With a flash of light in his hands, Rod donned the Flesh Armor, and dozens of Wood Puppets and Flesh Puppets appeared on the ground.

"I’m going in!"

With a loud shout, Rod charged into the swarm holding his long sword and large shield, slashing and killing wildly. Occasionally, a powerful Star Shuttle would arrive, blasting the head of a King Ant.

Anna was doing her best to assist Cilly.

Mephit used a large-scale frost to slow down the entire swarm.

The situation seemed to have stabilized.

However, soon after, Frank from Mushroom City and Ryan from Green Grass Town shouted in alarm together, "Another Big King Ant is coming!"

Lannis knew that if they didn’t eliminate the group of King Ants, it would be impossible to free up their hands to assist, and he immediately yelled, "Cilly, take it on first! Wait until we’ve killed the swarm of King Ants!"

Cilly angrily said, "One against two, really? You’ve got some nerve, Lannis!"

Lannis had no time for other words, focusing all his effort on activating his Spiritual Energy. The Gale, like a piercing blade, swept toward the swarm. However, since the King Ants are Strong Monsters, they weren’t so easy to kill and there were many of them.

Suddenly, Ryan from Green Grass Town let out another cry of alarm, "Another one is coming! It’s here!"

Lannis, unable to eliminate the swarm of King Ants at once, could only yell, "Cilly, go for it! Hold on for a while!"

Cilly wailed, "Three Big King Ants! Really, Lannis, if I die, it’s your fault."

With a bang, she intercepted the Insect Scythe of the third Big King Ant and got tangled up with all three Big King Ants.

Rod fought fiercely, swinging his sword as fast as light. The King Ants decreased at a visible rate, but he still felt it wasn’t enough.

Suddenly, after a cry of agony, Rod saw Cilly’s chest pierced by the Insect Scythe of a Big King Ant.

"Cilly!"

"Don’t mind her!" Lannis shouted, "Quickly kill the enemy!"

Rod was shocked and couldn’t understand Lannis’s attitude, but in the next instant, Cilly melted into a silver liquid.

The Insect Scythe passed through her chest but seemed to cause her no harm.

The next moment, all three Big King Ants screeched simultaneously. A triple dose of Spiritual Power Shock came at her, scattering the silver liquid into the air.

"Cilly!"

"Ignore her!"

Rod hesitated but then saw the liquid quickly reassemble from all directions, forming into a human shape, and transform back into Cilly.

"Hehe."

Cilly sneered.

"It seems I can’t beat you unless I use my ultimate technique."

A long, much larger silver blade than the one before extended from the palm of her hand, but in the same style as the previous one.

Rod finally understood: her big sword was indeed herself.

Is this person’s characteristic liquid metal then?

Cilly turned back and attacked the Big King Ant, no longer avoiding the Big King Ant’s attacks, with every strike being suicidal.

Her blade cleaved through the Big King Ant, making their armor shatter and their Spiritual Energy oscillate.

As the Big King Ant’s Insect Scythe hit her body, it just passed through the silver liquid.

Using this method, she barely managed to withstand the pressure from the three Big King Ants.

Rod finally understood where her big sword came from.

"Quick, kill them!" Lannis, uncharacteristically anxious, suddenly urged them on.

Rod turned and fought even more bravely, and Ryan and Frank from behind also joined the battlefield.

With everyone’s collaboration, the ant swarm was quickly annihilated, leaving only ashes and bone ash on the ground.

They immediately turned to attack the Big King Ants, and Cilly was finally relieved but didn’t rest and turned back into the battle.

After half a clock hour of intense fighting, all three Big King Ants were killed.

Before they had a chance to catch their breath, another distress flare lit up the sky.

Everyone, including Rod, sensed a crisis.

The situation seemed to have changed.
