Chapter 648: Chapter 268: Yellow Clothes, Tentacles_2
Invisible thoughts spread out, an alarm traveling to every corner of the nest, the monsters possessing a hive-mind similar to a swarm of insects. A chatroom with tens of thousands of accounts online exploded into chaos, the entire nest writhing into action at this moment.
From a commanding height, one could see countless black dots converging from all directions, the dense swarm of monsters surrounding the great hall.
Unlike the chaos outside, there were fewer monsters in the great hall. These guards possessed powerful telekinetic minds, making their psychic barriers extremely difficult to break through, causing significant trouble for Wayne, who was in a hurry to get on his way.
Seeing this, the despicable foreigner couldn’t be bothered to keep up his local disguise any longer. Wayne tore off his camouflage and leapt out from the monster’s shell.
His heat vision blazed a trail, at full power. Two red beams consecutively pierced through the barriers and the walls, leaving behind scorching red holes.
Dark and damp, the nest had limited Fire Elements. However, that couldn’t stop Wayne’s overwhelming Fire Elemental Affinity. The high-intensity heat vision was continuously output, quickly turning the obstructing guards into acquaintances.
The smell was terrible. Wayne stopped breathing and charged ahead.
Valkyrie was faster, dressed in knight armor, her form turning into a point of light and vanishing on the spot, reassembling at the end of the corridor.
Moving on foot was definitely not as quick as teleporting. Wayne had long coveted this move, but Valkyrie didn’t know how to teach it. She had forgotten it herself, relying solely on battle instinct to perform the maneuver.
Boom!
The Fire Elements rapidly expanded, causing a violent explosion in the narrow corridor.
Wherever Wayne passed, flames spread across the ground. The intense heat melted the black walls, and faces twisted in agony screamed miserably in the firelight, their shrill voices echoing to the heavens.
The nest convulsed and twitched in pain.
The walls cracked as the structure shuddered like an earthquake. Beams of light shone down from above, the black great hall opening up like a trumpet flower.
The ground beneath Wayne’s feet opened a twisting mouth. With one foot high and the other low, he was chased and blocked by the animated palace, struggling to keep up with the light ahead. His body slowly floated midair; below him, Magic Power burst forth, shooting him out like an arrow from a bowstring.
The sonic boom roared, smashing through walls and crushing monsters in his path, more aptly described as cannonfire.
All fourteen Resentful Spirits were related to the Phoenix. After signing them, Wayne gained the supernatural ability to fly. He could only hover for now, and to accelerate midair, he still needed to rely on the bursting Magic Power technique of the Silver Crucifix Stage.
Wayne continuously burst forth with Magic Power, breaking free from the writhing, contracting, and squeezing black palace.
Light poured down from above Golden City. The palace writhed, merging into the ground. On the vast square around it, innumerable monsters stretched far and wide, their piercing screams converging to shake Wayne’s thoughts repeatedly.
Wayne’s expression changed drastically; there were too many of them.
The psychic power of individual monsters was laughable, he could take out one with each punch, but the horrific number of over thirty thousand, able to stack and launch a collective psychic attack at once, was truly frightening.
Furthermore...
The nest was closing, resembling an oversized Venus flytrap.
In the middle of the square, where the center of the palace once stood, was now a pyramid-shaped altar throne with a slimmer figure in a Yellow Robe standing atop it.
The figure was skeletal, its body hidden under the tattered Yellow Robe, face obscured by a hood and a distorted pale mask, tentacles extending out from the robe, serving as arms and legs.
Man, Valkyrie, your dad’s really creepy!
Wayne’s eyes bulged in amazement; the figure across was too chilling. If not for his strong mentality, he nearly would’ve prostrated himself before his father-in-law.
To an absolute bystander, given these Yellow Clothes and the sprawl of tentacles, bowing twice wouldn’t be out of the question.
Boom!
The Priest leader lifted an arm, three tentacles unfolded, and an invisible massive force came crashing. Wayne’s body shook, nearly falling from midair as stars burst in his eyes.
A pure telekinetic assault, the absolute oppression of power.
Wayne inwardly gasped in alarm, fiery light points ignited around his body, coalescing into a tangible Fire Elemental Greatsword.
Firelight converged from all directions as the dry air prompted the monsters to cry out, instantly clearing a large space in the middle of the battlefield.
Valkyrie, clad in Knight Armor, stood on the ground, occasionally flashing and shifting to avoid tentacles reaching up from below.
She looked at the Priest leader in confusion, sensing the Sun Knight’s power on him, but it wasn’t as strong as before, weak enough to give her an unreal feeling. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Valkyrie conveyed her doubts through the team’s voice communication, and Wayne shared his understanding. Kusheen’s mind and body had both changed; it was understandable that he couldn’t make good use of the Knight’s power. Looking at the opponent’s stance, he might have even forgotten his own memories.
"Now’s not the time to hesitate. I’ll deal with him. You and Valkyrie move faster; take care of the other monsters. Be careful of their psychic power..."
Wayne was cut off mid-sentence as he charged forward and swung the Fire Elemental Greatsword, shattering layers of psychic barriers and descending above the altar throne.
Upon a closer look, the Priest leader, over four meters tall, was shrouded in tangible psychic power, an intense aura of oppression surrounding him.
Rustle!
A tentacle coiled towards Wayne, wrapping around his body.
"Ah, I’m caught!"
In an instant, dozens of tentacles swarmed him from all sides, pulling him rapidly into the Priest leader’s body.
The Yellow Robe billowed, and all was calm.
Valkyrie:=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞(ŐдŐ|||)
Not good, Wayne’s been eaten by her father!
Valkyrie had just swung her Greatsword, knocking down a swath of monsters when she saw this and her face turned deathly pale. As she was about to rush to rescue him, Wayne’s voice came through the team voice communication.
