Chapter 365 - 366: Human Race Squad! Critical Situation!
Ghost Race Encampment.
Upon realizing that Veridia and Scarlett’s departure was their own choice, Aster Grant fell silent for a moment.
He understood that the reason behind it was more or less related to him.
His disappearance was the direct catalyst for their vanishing.
"I will bring Veridia and Scarlett back!"
Aster Grant indicated to Vera to release Shade, and then made a promise to both of them.
At this moment, Shade was still somewhat discontent.
But knowing he was no match for Aster Grant, he snorted coldly and turned away.
Aster Grant didn’t mind, since Shade’s true concern was still for his two granddaughters.
When Qing heard Aster Grant’s words, he nodded in satisfaction.
At least, Aster Grant wasn’t shirking responsibility and was willing to bring back his two daughters.
With the talent Aster Grant had displayed, in some time, he would reach the Totem Level.
By then.....
Even if his two daughters were in another world, perhaps Aster Grant could successfully bring them back.
"Then I’ll trouble you!"
Aster Grant shook his head.
Veridia and Scarlett were both his Beastbond, and this was what he ought to do.
After discussing once more with Qing about collaborating with the Human Race, Aster Grant planned to leave the Ghost Race encampment.
After all, with Veridia and Scarlett not present, staying here was meaningless.
However...
Just as he was about to leave the Ghost Race encampment, Qing suddenly appeared before him.
"Aster Grant, wait!"
Hearing Qing’s voice, Aster Grant turned around, puzzled.
Qing’s expression was solemn, and he quickly said:
"I just received news. Your Human Race seems to have sent a team into the mountain range where the Nine-Hells Centipede King used to reside."
"But things have changed. That area is now inexplicably shrouded once more in extremely dense demonic qi, forming a massive enclosed barrier."
"Now, those outside can’t enter, and those inside... probably can’t get out!"
Aster Grant’s brows tightened immediately:
"You mean, our people are trapped inside?"
Qing nodded affirmatively:
"I originally planned to send a few Monarch Level experts from our clan to investigate and respond."
"But according to reports, the demonic qi there is exceptionally strange, not only isolating inside from outside but also severely disrupting the Power of Space, making Void Travel impossible."
"To save people, you’re likely to have to fight your way through the only entrance, which is extremely risky."
Upon hearing this, Aster Grant made a decision almost without hesitation.
If he were there and encountered such a situation, he definitely couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
"Thank you for the warning!"
After a solemn thank you to Qing, he flashed away, turning into a streak of light, racing towards the Nine-Hells Centipede King mountain range.
...
Meanwhile.
In the depths of the Nine-Hells Centipede King mountain range, the situation was incredibly dire.
Bianca Shelby, Veronica Vero, and Celesia stood back to back.
They led the remaining Human Race teams, along with a few other surviving Xenos teams, forming a small defensive circle.
Fatigue was etched on every face.
The situation was ten thousand times worse than they had anticipated.
They initially thought that after the death of the Nine-Hells Centipede King, there might be Demon Clan presence...
But with their strength, they should have been able to handle it.
Who knew that upon delving deep into the heart of the mountain range, an oddity erupted!
The entire range seemed to come alive, the ground trembled, and dense, ink-like demonic qi emerged from the depths.
With alarming speed, it instantly shrouded the entire sky, forming an inverted bowl of demonic qi barrier, completely isolating the inside from the outside.
Even more terrifying was that the density of this demonic qi was outrageously high, almost solidifying.
But that was not the most lethal.
"Roar——!"
"Hiss——!"
The chilling howls of demon beasts echoed from all directions, one after another.
Nourished by such pure demonic qi, countless demon beasts of various forms were rapidly spawned and catalyzed!
From Transcendent Level demons to Monarch Level Demon Clan emanating terrifying auras...
They crawled out like tides from shadows, from underground, surrounding all living beings that dared to intrude!
Their eyes were blood-red, full of sheer destructive desire.
"Form the array! Defend!"
Bianca Shelby’s cold voice rang out, with an imperceptible tremble.
This crisis was the most terrifying she had ever encountered.
The most important thing was...
They were now utterly isolated.
This place was far too distant from the Human Race’s territory.
Zane Drake and others wouldn’t receive news of this place until perhaps days later.
Not to mention, gathering reinforcements of high-level experts from the Human Race...
Veronica Vero’s face was ashen.
The White Monarch and Nether Spirit Leopard shielded her, full Monarch Level auras unleashed.
Each assault would shred a number of demon beasts, but against this unending demon tide, it was merely a drop in the ocean.
She sensed clearly that even with both Beastbond partners fighting at full strength, in the face of this endless Demon Clan army, they seemed so powerless.
Cecelia commanded two Vampire Princes to weave through the demon tide, their blood-colored energy clearing patches of Low-level Demon Clan with each burst.
But such losses were trivial to the massive demon tide.
Her face grew increasingly pale, sustaining such high-intensity combat was enormously draining.
The defensive circle kept shrinking under the relentless onslaught, screams resounded continuously.
Originally all the various teams that entered together had been reduced to less than ten percent, the survivors back-to-back with the Human Race, making their final stand.
Desperation, like a cold venomous snake, coiled around everyone’s heart.
"Bianca, can you still use your teleportation talent?"
In the gap between repelling an attack, Veronica Vero leaned over and whispered urgently.
Bianca Shelby shook her head bitterly.
She had attempted this early when the barrier had formed.
But the space here had been completely sealed off, her talent had no response.
Apart from fighting to the death, there was no way out.
Just as her heart sank to the bottom, a vibration beyond ten times the previous intensity thundered up from the ground!
Deep within the mountain range, an overwhelming aura erupted that froze the soul.
Accompanied by a piercing, ear-splitting screech, every survivor was on the brink of collapse.
From the crumbling mountain in the distance, an incomparably massive shadow gradually rose.
It was covered in hideous tumors and bone spikes, but the power it exuded...
Had already reached the Totem Level.
Upon seeing this, Bianca Shelby, Veronica Vero, and Celesia exchanged glances, seeing the same emotion in each other’s eyes...
Today, they feared they would be buried here.
The forces they commanded, even when facing Monarch Level demons, were struggling.
And now...
A Totem Level presence had appeared.
The three had already anticipated the day’s dreadful outcome.
And at this moment.
The demon beast leader let out a roar.
All the low-tier demon beasts, as if receiving a command, launched their final assault!
The black tide, with an aura of total destruction, surged towards the teetering defensive circle!
...
