Chapter 19: Ephemeral Beings of the Underworld, Land of the Dead
The dim light was like a brilliant firework, annihilating all the dark creatures that stood alongside the Undead Knight.
Seeing that the creature was killed by his own hand, Charles said with a grim expression, "Dispatch our elite biological weapons, the Blade Bugs. Those high-grade creatures must not break the rules."
Besides that Undead Knight, there were other high-tier level two tities lurking a, like cunning old shadows.
Catherine nodded and th signaled the nearby Blade Bugs to join the battle.
In truth, compared to the native species that hatched from eggs, Blade Bugs were more like consumables. Or rather, judging by their attributes, they were destined to be mere expdables.
The synthesis formula for these creatures was simply materials plus seasoning, leaving no room for any value appreciation. They were esstially super soldiers that could be copy-pasted as long as resources were available.
Their only real advantage was that equipping a Blade Bug with a Que's Blade gerally elevated its combat power by a tier.
In the next second, those powerful Blade Bugs, each with a unique appearance, surged into the war.
The scales of victory began to tip, and the battle resumed with rewed ferocity.
Gradually, the crimson mist dissipated, thinning until it vanished tirely.
As Charles observed the now-cleansed forest, his previously relaxed expression turned serious.
If the Crimson Tide had truly subsided, the Contint of Overlord should have acknowledged his efforts with some form of reward, rather than maintaining this unsettling silce.
Sure ough, another wave of dark creatures attacked, and this time the monsters were at tier three!
They had pure purple bodies, with terrifying ttacles twitching mindlessly, floating in the air like ghosts.
[Ephemeral Beings of the Underworld (Larvae)]
[Race: Ephemeral Beings of the Underworld]
[Combat Power: Low-tier, Level Three]
[Skills: Undead Screech, Ephmeral Tremor]
[Description: Ordinary ephemeral creatures connected to the Lands of the Underworld, typically found at the boundary betwe life and death]
Great, these things made Charles fully realize exactly where he was—
Near the Underworld, damn it!
No wonder there were so many dark creatures here. It turned out this place was connected to the Land of the Dead, and ev served as a boundary point!
The Land of the Dead was a place that Charles would have fled from in his previous life upon hearing its name. The weakest beings emerging from there were at least tier three, with no upper limit!
In that realm, the Ephemeral Beings of the Underworld were so weak that ev the most insignificant tity could bully them.
He let out a slow sigh and used the information network to command the remaining 300 elite Zerg to retreat gradually.
The currt battle had surpassed what mere soldiers could handle. Tier three creatures could wipe them out with a mere breath!
Those Zerg were invaluable treasures, each with the pottial to evolve into Zerg heroes. Their lives couldn't be squandered so carelessly.
Moreover, it was just fifty or so Ephemeral Beings of the Underworld. The three of them could handle that on their own!
And he was right. The final boss appeared before the Ephemeral Beings of the Underworld were fully eradicated...
A larger version of the Ephemeral Beings of the Underworld.
[Ephemeral Beings of the Underworld (Complete Form)]
[Race: Ephemeral Beings of the Underworld]
[Combat Power: High-tier, Level Three]
[Skills: Underworld Invasion, Ephemeral Tremor, Gate of Hell]
[Description: Fully matured but still the weakest combat unit in the Underworld.]
Seeing the high-tier, level three Ephemeral Beings of the Underworld, Medusa was about to step forward to clear it, but Charles stopped her, "This time, let your Master handle it. After all, I am the Master, am I not?"
Medusa paused, th solemnly replied, "You will always be my Master in this life. I will only ever be your sex slave. If that's the reason, let me handle it for you."
Charles gtly patted Medusa's head, his tone warm, "It's alright. Your Master is just feeling a bit idle. Though it is a high-tier, level three Ephemeral Beings of the Underworld, don't forget, I am a Zerg Overlord!"
"A mere leap in combat level is as trivial as drinking water or eating food!"
Hearing his immsely confidt voice, both Catherine and Medusa felt an overwhelming urge to submit to him immediately.
Perhaps it was only such a powerful Overlord, who dared to challge higher levels and remained vigilant ev in comfort, that could win the hearts of these two wom?
Having said that, Charles spread his expansive Overlord wings and swiftly flew towards the Ephemeral Beings of the Underworld.
As he faced the high-tier, level three tity, a smirk of disdain appeared on Charles's lips.
He had once be a tier-six Overlord. How could he be intimidated by a mere tier-three creature from the fringes of the Underworld?
"Overlord's Spear!"
A black spear materialized in his hand, and with a cold expression, he charged at the Ephemeral Beings of the Underworld.
The Ephemeral Beings of the Underworld, raged that a mere mid-tier level three dared to challge it.
Let out a piercing screech, unleashing an overwhelming wave of purple Underworld aura.
Ssing the threat of this aura, Charles casually twirled his spear, sding a gust of wind that returned the Underworld aura back to the Ephemeral Beings of the Underworld. This was the essce of magical attribute manipulation.
Unfortunately, being a creature of the Underworld, the Ephemeral Beings of the Underworld sustained minimal damage from its own aura. It only paused momtarily.
Th, like a malevolt specter, it unleashed countless ttacles, each covered in suckers capable of draining any creature dry upon contact.
As the ttacles surged towards him, Charles remained expressionless, swinging his spear once more.
Flames of darkness incinerated the ttacles completely.
The Ephemeral Beings of the Underworld continued to attack Charles reltlessly, but of its attempts ev grazed him.
Finally, growing impatit, it resorted to its ultimate move—
Gate of Hell!
