Chapter 128: Bug War

“Squeak!” An ear-piercing shriek rang out.

The Abyssal Queen Worm, which had sensed that something was wrong, instantly locked onto Heath’s exact location.

Knowing that it had been tricked, it hurriedly summoned the swarm of insect guards outside. At the same time, it controlled its spiritual power to quickly retract the swarm of insects at the frontline.

At the same time, it wriggled its long body like a snake and stood up straight. Its mouth, which was like a chrysanthemum, contracted and expanded, and streams of acid immediately sprayed towards Heath.

Heath held his sword with both hands and rushed towards the Abyssal Queen Worm at high speed. At the same time, he relied on his superior agility to dodge left and right to avoid the acid that flew towards him.

Large amounts of the acid landed on the floor, and a series of ‘puchi puchi puchi’ sounds could be heard. White smoke actually rose up from the floor that had been strengthened by magic, burning holes one after another.

The distance of 100 meters was only a blink of an eye. Heath instantly moved in front of the Abyssal Queen Worm, brandishing his sword and slashing. The huge body of the Abyssal Queen Worm was destined to be unable to dodge.

However, just as the sword was about to reach it, a rhombus-shaped ripple suddenly appeared in the air, and an invisible barrier actually appeared in front of the Abyssal Queen Worm.

It was clearly the defensive force field of the Abyssal Queen Worm!

Clang! The sound of metal clashing rang out.

The blade and the invisible barrier collided, and sparks flew as the two collided.

The next moment, the long tentacles in the mouth of the Abyssal Queen Worm stabbed towards Heath.

The seemingly soft tentacles actually contained extremely powerful energy, and even the armor could be easily pierced through. Once hit by it, even Heath’s physique would not be able to escape.

He hurriedly dodged to the side while brandishing his sword to block the tentacles.

And just as he dodged, the Abyssal Queen Worm’s mouthpart once again opened wide and let out an ear-piercing screech. “Squeak!”

The Abyssal Queen Worm was most adept at spiritual impact.

This intense sound even set off an invisible ripple in the air. Some of the glass products around the hall actually shattered completely.

Under such a strong spiritual impact, if it was any other intermediate or advanced-level Apprentice, they would have been instantly stupefied. Even Jon, Marcel, and the others had been defeated by this move of the Abyssal Queen Worm.

However, since Heath dared to come, he naturally had a countermeasure.

After a few months of continuous extraction, his Half-Life Soul had already begun to take shape, reaching two meters square like a shield.

When the Abyssal Queen Worm’s spiritual attack arrived, the shield immediately displayed its outstanding function, blocking the attack of the Abyssal Queen Worm without missing a single bit.

The failure of the ultimate move clearly caused the Abyssal Queen Worm to panic for a moment. Heath took the opportunity to quickly raise his cross sword and once again cut into its defensive force field.

Clang! Clang! Clang! The sound of metal interweaving rang continuously.

Sparks mixed with the light waves from the field flickered continuously.

At present, Heath did not have any good ideas to deal with the defensive forcefield. He could only rely on brute force attacks.

The defensive force field of the Abyssal Queen Worm could be understood as a layer of armor on its body. It was formed from the accumulated energy of the force field that it had naturally secreted over the years.

The energy of this protective layer was limited. As long as its energy was exhausted, the forcefield would naturally be broken through.

The Abyssal Queen Worm’s large body began to twist violently. Its mouth that was constantly opening and closing as well as the cells that were constantly contracting indicated its panic and fear at this moment.

It hurriedly spat acid at Heath over and over again. At the same time, it continuously extended its tentacles and attacked Heath.

However, the result was the same.

Although its attacks were powerful, they were too simple. Heath, who knew it like the back of his hand, had already thought of countermeasures.

Keeping a distance between the corrosive acid to dodge, dodge the steel-whip-like tentacles, and the Mimicry Shield to protect him. As for the remaining spiritual attacks, they were completely ineffective against him under the protection of the Half-Life Soul. The summoned guards were also easily defeated by Heath because there were too few of them.

The battle was in a stalemate.

After the heavy attacks failed, the Abyssal Queen Worm could only desperately give orders to summon its army of insects.

And this also became the key to deciding the outcome.

No matter how powerful Heath was, he was still alone. Once the swarm of insects arrived in time like a tide, he would definitely drown in the sea of insects.

But at the same time, if he broke through the defensive forcefield of the Abyssal Queen Worm and destroyed it, then the swarm of insects that had lost their leader would also be destroyed.

Outside the Forest Guard Tower, a thunderous rumble continued. The army of demonized insects had long been ignored. They stepped on the corpses of their companions and knocked away the trees blocking their way. They rushed back desperately, and the entire forest was set off a swarm of insects.

Inside the Shadow Tower, the two Wizards stared intently at the scene on the crystal ball. The nervousness in their eyes was obvious.

Inside the Forest Guard Tower.

Clang! Clang! Clang! The sound of metal clashing echoed continuously, and large sparks shot into the sky one after another.

Heath slashed out sword after sword towards the defensive forcefield of the Abyssal Queen Worm.

At this moment, he had already entered a state of selflessness.

He did not care about where the army of insects outside was. He did not care about whether he would resist or turn around and flee after the insects charged in. He did not even care about victory or defeat.

At this moment, there was only one thought in his heart —

‘I can win!’

Finally, under his selfless and desperate attack, the protective field of the Abyssal Queen Worm was already at the end of its strength. The arc of light on it became dimmer and dimmer, like a grapefruit that had its thick peel peeled off, gradually revealing the nuts underneath…

But at this moment, suddenly…

Crack!

A slight crack suddenly sounded, and the cross-shaped sword in Heath’s hand was actually broken in the middle.

This treasured sword that had followed him from the Forgotten Land and fought with him for many years, the Black Dragon, was actually unable to bear the burden at this time.

Heath felt that it was simply unbelievable, and he could not control his emotions and cursed, “F*ck!”

Rumble!

At the same time, a loud rumble was heard. One could clearly feel the ground shaking. It was as if the army of insects had rushed over.

Heath’s eyes were red!

Should he give up?

Of course not!

Without a second of hesitation, Heath decisively grabbed the broken sword with his right hand and clenched his left hand into a fist. He used both his fist and sword to continue attacking the defensive forcefield.

For a moment, there were continuous banging sounds. Heath’s fist collided with the steel-like defensive forcefield, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere. After a few punches, his fist was already bleeding and even slightly deformed.

However, at this moment, the symbol on the back of his hand suddenly lit up.

The powerful recovery spell, Regeneration, was cast at the first moment. Under the effect of the powerful regeneration cells, Heath’s flesh-torn fist instantly recovered to its original state.

In the Shadow Tower, Witch Cassandra, who saw this scene, opened her mouth and asked, “Where did this kid learn all this nonsense?”

The battle continued.

Heath punched at the defensive forcefield. Under the reaction force, his fist became flesh-torn, blood was dripping, and even his bones were shattered. However, he quickly recovered to his original state under the healing of the regeneration energy.

However, the regenerative energy could heal Heath’s injuries, but it could not take away the pain that he felt when he was injured. Every tear was a great pain.

However, faced with this unbearable pain, Heath did not even frown as if he had never felt it. He only attacked the defensive forcefield again and again.

Boom! There was a loud sound.

The door behind them suddenly exploded. The vanguard of the swarm of insects finally rushed into the tower.

Two three-meter-tall Giant Mantises rushed in front of Heath at the first moment. They raised their scythe-like forelimbs that were shining with a bright cold light and slashed down at Heath’s back.

Clang! The sound of metal interweaving rang out.

Silver liquid metal immediately formed a tight defense behind Heath.

Heath did not even look at it, continuing to attack with his hands.

At the same time, the mantises at the back were also under the control of the Abyssal Queen Worm, ignoring their own injuries and crazily attacking Heath.

Hualala!

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

On the other side, more and more insects rushed into the tower. The Giant Bloodthirsty Mosquitoes, Giant Fly Bees, and Modo Worms formed a group, and under the control of the Abyssal Queen Worm, all of them rushed towards Heath, launching a fierce attack on him.

No matter how outstanding the Mimicry Shield was, it was impossible for it to withstand the attack of so many demonized insects. In just a short while, the liquid metal on the shield became thinner and thinner.

Seeing that the Mimicry Shield was about to be damaged, at this moment…

Crack! A subtle sound was heard.

The defensive forcefield of the Abyssal Queen Worm finally reached the end ahead of time, and a crack appeared on the surface of the forcefield.

Heath hurriedly raised his hands and inserted them into the crack. Then, he grabbed both sides of the crack and used all his strength to tear it open.

His face flushed red and blue veins popped out. All the muscles in his body bulged at this moment.

But at this moment.

Boom! A loud sound was heard.

The Mimicry Shield that had been protecting Heath all this time could no longer hold on. After a loud boom, it directly exploded.

The swarm of insects that had lost all resistance swarmed towards Heath, drowning him in an instant.

Shadow Tower.

The two Wizards held their breaths.

Wizard Edith asked, “Is it over?”

“Or did it fail?”

Just as he finished speaking…

Crackle! A crisp sound rang out.

On the crystal ball, the mountain of insects that had been completely submerged by the swarm suddenly lit up with an electric arc, like a beam of light in the dark night.

Following that.

Crackle!!! A loud explosion rang out.

It was like a bolt of lightning exploding within the swarm, as countless purple thunderbolts shot out, exploding within the hall.

Tens of thousands of bugs were also blasted apart by the storm.

When the swarm was blasted apart, the scene of the insect army covering the scene below was revealed.

Heath, who was covered in injuries, stood high above the head of the Abyssal Queen Worm. A black broken sword was placed at the center of the Abyssal Queen Worm’s head.

Countless purple lightning surged out from the broken sword, creating a lightning storm in the hall.

Heath stood proudly in the lightning storm, facing the Abyssal Queen Worm, facing victory, facing the Wizards, facing his fate.

He thrust the broken sword into it!
