Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 1139: Chapter 556: Request for Reinforcements (Part 2)

What exactly are those Horror Demons doing? Can they actually be beaten back by humans?

The leader-level Terror Demons were speechless for a while, feeling that their ‘companions’ were rather useless.

Meanwhile, those Horror Demons deep within the Disaster Fog quickly made a decision.

The Insect Master cannot be harmed.

The Horror Demons still need the Insect Master’s swarm legion. If a Horror Demon like the Insect Master were to die, the Disaster Fog would probably fail to create a second-generation Insect Master.

Therefore, very quickly, each of the leader-level Horror Demons received promises from the depths of the Disaster Fog.

Some were offered resources, others information, and some were given what they needed in exchange.

In exchange, the leaders would take action. Of course, the Beastmen were excluded. The Beastmen were expected to overturn the Ninth Champion along with the swarm.

But most of the leaders were a bit hesitant.

After all, the Ninth Champion is quite formidable. Even a monster like Corpse Mountain went over but got killed without any response.

Those Horror Demons who didn’t think they were better than Corpse Mountain didn’t dare to show up. And heading towards the swarm… what if they got eaten as dessert?

But some Horror Demons thought that the Ninth Champion had probably exhausted their strength by now and were just unwilling to give up this rare opportunity, intending to attempt a beheading strike.

After a brief consideration, a leader got up, ready to go support the swarm.

Even if they couldn’t ultimately protect the Insect Master, the Ninth Champion’s power should be weakened to the extreme. Surely, they couldn’t kill the Insect Master and still be in full condition? This would be the perfect opportunity to kill the Ninth Champion!

Meanwhile, some powerful leaders were held back by certain matters, unable to break free to provide support.

After all, among the humans, it wasn’t just Li Ye Lai who was fighting.

A once-luxurious manor was now filled with horrific scenes.

Numerous broken human skins and intestines were hanging from the branches, blood dripping down, staining the grass and stone slabs.

And beneath the trees, a multitude of grotesque terror demons were greedily devouring flesh, occasionally plucking a kidney from the branches and swallowing it.

But their eyes were greedily fixed on the deeper hall of the manor, where the flesh was fresher.

Unfortunately, that was blood food prepared for the generals.

The freshest food, however, was located deepest inside, reserved for the Great King.

Now, that bear-headed, human-bodied Horror Demon in the depths was grabbing a man in a black trench coat.

The man’s chest had been pierced through, his blood almost drained, but he was not dead yet, his body still trembling slightly.

The bear-headed Horror Demon grabbed his arm and lifted him to face it.

In the next moment, the man, on the brink of death, suddenly roared, and the Soul Well exploded, a fireball the size of a basin appeared out of nowhere and exploded directly in the face of the bear-headed Horror Demon.

However, the thick Spiritual Barrier blocked everything, the gap between them was simply too great.

“Still got some fight in you, planning to avenge your wife and offspring, huh?” The bear-headed Horror Demon let out a terrifying laugh. “Don’t be afraid, you’ll soon reunite with them. Hopefully, you’re tastier than your wife was—”

The man stared intently at the bear-headed Horror Demon, tears of blood streaming from his eyes but stopped breathing.

The bear-headed man tossed the man into his mouth and began to chew voraciously.

“Not as tender as your wife,” it muttered, licking the blood in its mouth, as it stood: “Boys, let’s find out what that Champion’s flesh tastes like.”

It planned to respond to the call for help and have a taste.

It wasn’t too sure about the Champion’s strength, but the taste of powerful beings should be quite good.

However, at the moment it stood up, someone outside the manor spoke calmly.

“You’ve devoured so many people, have you considered that you might be eaten yourself?”

The bear-headed Horror Demon looked outside, and those demons that were in the courtyard had disappeared. Only a blood-covered human stood in their midst, wearing a bright red cloak. A dense Blood Evil Energy swept forth.

“Hahaha,” the bear-headed Horror Demon laughed. “Looks like we don’t need to go to the swarm to feast on the Champion.”

Its body size increased, ten meters, twenty meters, finally transforming into a thirty-meter-tall giant.

That figure said nothing, just opened his mouth…

Elsewhere, over a hundred kilometers away, the entire area had turned into a wasteland from the battle.

Torrential air currents twisted, expanded, sliced, and compressed, turning this area into a Forbidden Zone for life.

Whether human or Horror Demon, anyone approaching would be crushed.

Meanwhile, the fear that penetrated deep into the soul made the entire battlefield unapproachable.

With the intensifying battle between the two, their auras were gradually rising.

Looking at the face identical to hers, the girl in the black dress smiled: “Finally stopped resisting? Hahaha, come, let us decide the victor!”

The girl opposite said nothing, her three thousand strands of hair danced wildly, as if some unspeakable fear was gathering.

Only she could deal with such Horror Demons, and now… she was about to take the final step.

Their talents were too terrifying; even in battle, without time to recover Spiritual Energy, their talents propelled them to the peak!

At that moment, the power of fear spread wildly through the Void Realm. Whether human or Horror Demon, all beings with Spiritual Energy units felt a wave of fear.

Double the fear, even causing the wandering creatures in the Void Realm to flee.

Even the Disaster Fog itself began to churn.

She was the embodied fear of the Disaster Fog, and they seemed to be fear itself…

…

The nearby swarm was somewhat affected, originally chaotic due to losing the Commander Bug, it became increasingly agitated.

Meanwhile, Zhu Ye and Dawn each frowned, looking towards the surface. Although far away, they sensed the two waves of soul-deep fear.

“It’s her… it seems we’ve arrived at the Second Heaven through the space rift,” Little Mad King quietly reminded.

Li Ye Lai silently nodded, his hands not stopping, continuing to break through the swarm’s defenses.

Although he couldn’t feel that fear, he could identify the source of the fluctuation.

That was the Doll’s fluctuation, the Doll had ascended to an Overlord at this moment…

The image of the girl’s reluctant, longing gaze appeared in Li Ye Lai’s mind, making his heart ache.

He knew well the dangers of the Doll’s ascension to Overlord.

That consciousness, that evil corpse… would become even more powerful after ascending to Overlord.

‘Wait for me, I’ll be there soon!’

Pushing down the pain and worry in his heart, Li Ye Lai took a deep breath.

As he approached a junction, he took out the Forbidden Object·Möbius Ring!

…

Elsewhere, the Insect Master controlled the swarm through the Commander Bug to set up more defenses and commanded the swarm to send the Rakshasa King’s anchor points to the front lines.

She needed time, just as the terrifying Horror Demons arrived to buy time for her to create the Insect Swarm War God.

That would give her enough room for error.

Of course, just in case, she also needed to create a backup flesh body, but that would still take time.

Hold off the Champion, you must hold off the Champion.

The Insect Master’s nearly flawless face suddenly displayed an expression of joy.

Her call for help was answered, multiple powerful Horror Demons were passing through the fear rift.

With so many strong entities, the Champion will never reach her!

The Insect Master breathed a sigh of relief, now she had spare time to craft the War God and a backup body.

However, in that moment.

The Insect Master felt a sudden spatial distortion around her, the familiar underground network becoming strange and chaotic.

It was as if all areas and passages were scrambled and randomly pieced together to form a bizarre space.

Was this… the effect of a Taboo Item?

The Insect Master felt perplexed, controlling the swarm to determine her position and the location of the enemy and allies.

Having the swarm, even with spatial chaos, she could quickly pinpoint locations.

Yet.

The next moment, the Insect Master let out a sharp explosion.

As there was no need for the swarm to locate, the violent killing intent was already upon her.

From a nearby corner, several figures suddenly flashed out.

Among them, a figure waved his arm, and a gigantic Flying Dragon roared forth!

“Cute Star Sky Collision!”
