Chapter 314: The Radiant Decapitation Squad (Part 2)

“This is the commission you posted at the market, Miss Shalum. Someone delivered it to our guild. I’ve already paid for it,” Divine Blade Huck said.

“Thank you,” Samimi nodded in gratitude.

“Don’t worry. You must come back alive,” Divine Blade Huck said seriously.

“I will bring your sister back alive with me,” Samimi responded, then turned and left.

“Miss Shalum, would you like six S-Rank Adventurers to accompany your operation?” Divine Blade Huck asked again.

“No need,” Samimi waved her hand. “It’s more important for the S-Rank Adventurers to stay with the army to protect everyone. Besides, with Cresia and the Twin Demons working together, they already possess S-Rank combat power.”

Having said that, she walked away without looking back.

—

As for why they weren’t bringing the S-Rank Adventurers?

Because bringing them would only raise the “Dynamic Difficulty,” not make the mission any easier.

In this world, what truly matters isn’t numbers—

It’s “Fate Weight.”

What they needed were people who could break through limitations.

For example—

Those bearing the title of “Hero.”

The Hero is an existence born to defeat the Mage King.

Causality determines the outcome—

The Mage King can only be defeated by the Hero.

—

Samimi and Niubao returned to the team.

The team was no longer the ordinary Radiant Squad now, but—

[The New Glorious Light Decapitation Squad].

Which meant—

The thirty-thousand-strong army built up over an entire volume was ultimately just background scenery.

It couldn’t be helped.

From the very beginning, this plan wasn’t suited for this Otherworld.

Here—

Human wave tactics aren’t popular.

Army sizes are generally small, typically organized in squads, companies, and regiments.

Too many people can easily lead to chaos, even allowing incompetent people to slip through the cracks.

What can truly exert combat power is an elite squad.

—

Late at night.

All the adventurers had rested.

The nine members of the Glorious Light Decapitation Squad quietly set out.

This was a top-secret mission.

Apart from the guild’s upper echelons, no one knew they had left the team early.

Facing a mission with a ninety-nine percent chance of death—

The Twin Demons and Cresia didn’t hesitate at all.

They didn’t even voice a single opinion.

They just—

Acted directly.

The Twin Demons were eager for battle.

As for Cresia, it was for The Hero of the Gale.

She couldn’t just stand by and watch her successor go to her death.

As for that Pharmacist Steve-Ni—

She was actually the most surprising one.

Completely lacking in combat ability, yet she still followed along.

—

The nine of them ventured deep into the Sea of Ten Thousand Forests.

This time—

They had completely lost any sense of security.

Enemies could appear at any moment from all sides.

Demon Humans, Magic Beasts, even ordinary wild beasts.

And what was worse—

Samimi’s “Transmigrator Advantage” had failed.

Because this place—

Wasn’t written about in the original work at all.

The original plot ended at the “Ruined Royal City.”

After the Hero Party defeated the Mage King and entered the Sea of Ten Thousand Forests—

The novel was abandoned.

Everything was unknown.

So now—

She had to explore everything on her own.

—

The Mass Production of Demons had already appeared.

Although each individual was weaker, once their numbers reached a certain scale—

It would be a disaster for the Human Race.

Even if they were just cannon fodder—

They were still elite assassins.

Far stronger than ordinary humans.

—

“Everyone, stay alert,” Samimi warned. “Demon Humans are good at ambushes. Try to stay away from complex root terrain.”

However—

For the next few days.

Nothing happened.

No Demon Humans.

No Magic Beasts.

Not even any wild beasts.

The entire forest—

Was eerily quiet.

The team’s progress was extremely slow.

Every step was taken with extreme caution.

The front—was handled by the Twin Demons and Niubao for scouting.

They both had abilities similar to an “Intuitive Radar.”

The rear—was anchored by Cresia.

Although her eyesight wasn’t good, she could perceive Battle Aura, which was another kind of radar.

The middle—Samimi and the others.

She could also perceive through Art Perception.

The entire team—

Had five “radars.”

Therefore, even at night, they could rest safely.

—

The seventh day.

A change finally occurred.

Early morning.

Red Ghost returned from patrol and whispered:

“Quiet.”

Everyone instantly hid behind tree roots.

Motionless.

Blue Ghost and Red Ghost peeked out with half their heads.

In the distance—

A bizarre figure was squirming.

Blue Ghost waved her hand.

Samimi went over to look—

Her expression instantly froze.

It was an—

Insect person.

Dark green carapace.

Cricket head, mantis claws, cockroach wings.

A monster pieced together.

It almost blended in with the forest.

“Pastoralist, this doesn’t look like the Demon Humans you described,” Red Ghost said.

“Insect…” Samimi took a deep breath. “We’re done for.”

“Is it that serious?” Blue Ghost frowned.

Samimi didn’t answer.

Because she knew—

What this was.

[Abyss Insect].

A creature that exists solely to devour.

—The Insect Tribe.

The problem was—

This thing shouldn’t be appearing now.

It belonged to the mid-to-late stages.

It was a main force unit of the Abyss army.

Not the vanguard.

Which meant—

The plot had completely collapsed.

What was worse—

The appearance of the Abyss Insect meant—

The second of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Abyss had also appeared.

Because they were the minions of a certain Heavenly King.

And that existence—

Was the cruelest core of the Abyss.

Without it, the Abyss simply couldn’t contend with the Human Race.

“This is no longer an ordinary war…” Samimi felt a chill in her heart.

It was practically like—

An interstellar insectoid war.

“What on earth are you talking about?” Blue Ghost couldn’t help but ask.

“Not Demon Humans, another kind of Magic Beast,” Samimi calmed down. “The Church has records.”

A universal excuse.

The Church.

“It doesn’t look very strong either?” Red Ghost said dismissively.

They were just about to make a move.

But Samimi stopped them.

“Wait.”

She signaled to Bemore.

Bemore understood, quietly raising her staff.

Aiming.

“Boom!”

A Dragon Bomb accurately hit its mark.

That Abyss Insect instantly exploded.

Shattered.

“So weak,” Bemore frowned. “Much worse than a Demon Human.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But Samimi didn’t.

She continued to hold everyone back.

“Don’t move.”

From the distance—

Came the sound of heavy footsteps.

Thud… thud…

Soon.

Dense swarms of Abyss Insects crawled out from the tree trunks.

Over a hundred of them.

They instantly devoured their companion’s corpse clean.

Not even a scrap remained.

Everyone collectively pulled their heads back.

They could only rely on their “radar” perception.

The scene—

Was extremely disgusting.

Even if their individual strength wasn’t high—

Their numbers were simply too great.

And that kind of devouring scene—

Made one’s scalp tingle.

“…”

The entire Glorious Light Decapitation Squad fell silent.

They were strong.

But—

They were also beautiful young women.

This kind of thing—

Was completely their natural enemy.
