“This is too soulful!”
“Just an elite monster, daring to backstab a transmigrator like me? One move, instant kill!”
“Burn, burn, burn!”
After the Insect Swarm Overlord was slain, to prevent its revival, the Slaying Demon Sword was enchanted with flames, spewing fire mercilessly, burning the entire overlord’s carcass from the inside out until it was completely incinerated.
They absolutely could not allow a monster to “rise from the dead.”
Moreover, the Insect Tribe had the trait of consuming their own kind to strengthen themselves. The overlord’s corpse was practically a super tonic for other insects.
To prevent the birth of a new overlord, it had to be burned to ashes.
—
Not reducing the “Contact Girl Demon” to ashes was Samimi’s biggest regret.
That one moment of negligence had left her with a huge hidden danger.
But now—
She had retrieved her own soul.
She only hoped the other party would come again.
“I could kill you once, I can kill you a second time!”
“Don’t you dare not come!”
—
After the overlord’s death, the remaining Abyss Insects immediately entered an “Out of Control State.”
They no longer organized attacks, becoming a scattered mess.
Compared to attacking enemies, they were more inclined to gnaw on the corpses on the ground.
The pressure on the Glorious Light Decapitation Squad drastically decreased.
After the insect swarm lost its core, its combat power plummeted, almost becoming “trash-tier.”
The subsequent battle turned into a one-sided harvest.
The insects were as dull as wooden stakes, offering no resistance.
—
But even so, clearing the insect swarm from the entire area still took from dawn until noon.
Their arms grew numb from slashing.
After the battle ended, the group did not linger.
They quickly cleared the insect corpses that could be burned, turning the site into a sea of fire.
Insect Tribe corpses could not be left behind.
Afterwards, the entire team swiftly withdrew.
—
They found a hidden spot, set up camouflage tents, and quickly recovered their stamina.
After multiple high-intensity battles, the coordination of the Glorious Light Decapitation Squad had become extremely smooth.
“Why are you acting just like that woman?” Blue Ghost, looking full of energy, was the first to come over and tease Samimi.
“Have you also started cultivating the Quan Yan?” She laughed.
“I’ll cultivate your head!” Samimi rolled her eyes. “I was earlier than her!”
That one sentence made everyone laugh, instantly lightening the atmosphere inside the tent.
—
The days that followed—
Were a hellish cycle.
They were originally a “Decapitation Squad,” but in reality, they became a “Slaughter Squad.”
The insect swarms were simply endless.
Every day upon waking, it was battle.
—
This kind of life would have broken an ordinary person long ago.
But they were not ordinary people.
The members of the team either had extremely strong willpower or a mentality as steady as an old dog.
Especially Niubao—
Sanity value maxed out, completely unfazed by a war of attrition.
The only one who showed psychological fluctuations was actually Samimi.
But she had retrieved her “soul” and no longer wavered.
—
The more arduous the battle, the more it forges true camaraderie.
Now, the Glorious Light Decapitation Squad had grown into an invincible force.
The synergy between them didn’t even require words.
Just like a top-tier FPS team—
If all five players are top-tier gods with guns, guaranteed to win every gunfight, the coordination naturally becomes flawless.
—
They advanced all the way.
They had slain dozens of Insect Swarm Overlords.
Even the Insect Tribe had never seen such a terrifying squad—
And there were nine of them.
Although Steve had no combat power, her value was equally immense.
She covertly collected Insect Tribe remains, conducted research, and recorded all intelligence.
Even if the squad was wiped out—
This data could become crucial evidence for the Human Race’s counterattack.
—
The insect swarms could not stop their footsteps.
Samimi could clearly feel—
They were closing in on their target.
—
But she didn’t dare relax.
Because that “Contact Girl Demon” had never reappeared.
Not even other Demon Humans had been seen, vanishing without a trace.
But she knew—
The other party had been watching her from the shadows all along.
That intuition of being stalked by a yandere had never disappeared.
The other party was just waiting for a better assassination opportunity.
—
At the same time—
The Abyss was also brewing a greater conspiracy.
Because—
They were getting too close to the Core Region.
If no action was taken, the Abyss’s defensive line would be completely torn open.
—
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
A new day began with the Worm Tide’s charge.
As soon as dawn broke, everyone picked up their weapons and engaged.
—
But today was different.
The insect swarm was abnormally frenzied.
Right from the start, dozens of overlords charged, accompanied by countless ground insects and low-altitude flying insects.
A true full-scale assault!
—
However—
In just the first clash.
Several overlords were sliced to pieces by the area attacks of The Hero of the Gale and Bemore.
The tactic of insect sea warfare was meaningless against them.
—
Samimi didn’t even need to take action.
She only needed to stand at the rear, responsible for command and protecting Steve.
“It looks like another great victory,” Steve said, pushing up her glasses, her face full of confidence.
“Mhm,” Samimi replied absently.
But her eyelids were twitching wildly.
—
Something’s wrong.
—
The next moment—
Her unease became reality.
The tree canopy above began to writhe violently.
Countless leaves fell in showers.
A colossal entity was moving at high speed above them.
It wasn’t joining the fight—
Instead, it directly bypassed them, charging into the distance!
Samimi froze for a second.
Then her face changed drastically.
“Damn it—!”
“Its target is the Adventurer Army!”
