When the plot-skips players into the game world-Chapter 1238 - 525: Locust Plague and Gold

At noon, the sky gradually darkened.

A stench-ridden wind brought ominous foreboding.

It was not a sign of a storm—within the control range of the Mage Tower, even a real storm could be dispersed at will.

"——What on earth is that!"

Inside the Mage Tower, chaotic mages let out screams of fear.

They were the first ones to see what it truly was.

Rushing in with a sky-blocking force were the gathered swarms of flies!

But they were not ordinary flies; they were a peculiar insect-race that fell between flies and locusts.

They were black and yellow, possessed red compound eyes like flies, and had the slender bodies and folded hind legs of locusts, along with similar wings and mouthparts. Each was approximately twenty to thirty centimeters long, larger than two adult fists together.

As they flew by, fine, spore-like dust fell from the sky. This turned the sky a dingy yellow, as if a storm of yellow sand was surging.

The stench was akin to a blend of rotting flesh and fermented feces. Anyone stained by that "spore"-like dust emitted the same foul odor.

With the flies advancing, the increasingly intense stench of decay drew closer.

As they passed over human cities, people fell to the ground in severe vomiting and convulsions—after vomiting, they fell into unconsciousness with sudden high fever. Those who did not faint cried incessantly, their skin forming blister-like transparent bubbles, followed by weakness and incontinence.

In the center of the fly swarm was a bizarre entity.

He resembled a giant, roughly three-meter-tall humanoid fly—he had the body of a human but bore no gender traits. His head was a fly’s, gruesome and sharp with fly mouthparts. He had no hair, but instead two wings like that of a withered leaf butterfly, and from shoulder to wrist, had healthy and strong human arms, with root-like structures extending down from the wrists.

He had no fingers; the ten digits of his hands were ten mouthparts.

The Fly Demon gracefully waved the mouthparts of his arms like a conductor, and orchestral music resonated in the void. This was the sound of his transformed "flies" being played as instruments during their march.

And his legs—he had no legs, but a blur of root-like tentacles that dissolved into the sickly human male body resembling a shrimp. The human male’s eyes were hollow and void, limbs drooping, his pale, bloodless body bare.

His back opened two bloody ravines, and his curled spine was filled with fierce blood-red spikes connecting to the fly disguise’s lower half.

——It looked as if a cicada slough was halfway through, not yet fully emerged.

This was indeed the case.

Typically, a Fly Demon should not have a "human lower half" structure. Their lower halves should be multiple insect legs overlapping like those of the insect race. Additionally, they should have wings on their back, but the Fly Demon’s wings were pressed against his back and couldn’t unfold.

This strange "half-assed" posture of human and Upper-Level Demon fusion gave the mages unparalleled oppression.

Because when the mages realized they must prevent these insects from approaching the army, they manipulated the Mage Tower for a celestial assault.

Torrential rain and thunder fell in succession—the soaked bodies would hypothetically be more fearful of thunderstorms, and wet spores would reduce their infectiousness.

However, thunder that greatly counteracts demons became incredibly feeble, having no effect on the demonic flies!

Or rather, it did have an effect. Each bolt of thunder could incinerate at least dozens of demonic flies. But their reinforced bodies could block the thunder, preventing it from penetrating the entire swarm.

And other demonic flies could absorb mana scattered when thunder fell, rapidly generating new demonic flies!

When absorbing mana, their abdomens would start to protrude upward. Once it reached its limit, it would burst, releasing numerous thumb-sized demonic flies. These would absorb mana in the air and cruelly devour each other, quickly developing into adult bodies the size of two fists.

At this point, mages realized why their celestial spells were ineffective against the fly swarm——

Because they were constantly gnawing at the mana scattered in the air!

Mages originally relied on weak mana in the air to cast spells, while the fly swarm even gnawed away at the clouds!

They were like an eraser, wiping away all "clouds," leaving only the sky’s original azure-blue hue.

The fly swarm approached with the increasingly hysterical violin sound, they even began to actively crash into the dark cloud, madly absorbing mana at the cost of their lives!

This was why it didn’t directly approach the army through the portal.

Because the fly swarm it summoned still needed to absorb mana to gradually develop!

Without a doubt, even demons hatched directly from Demon Incarnates couldn’t possess such a level of power.

——That was a catastrophic level of force. Even without the Fallen Celestial Marshal, the mere existence of this Fly Demon was enough to annihilate nations!

That was precisely the power of the Sixth Power Level!!

Simultaneously, another demon stepped out from the enormous purple portal, appearing directly in the midst of the army!

"Hahahahaha!"
