YM778.TV Chapter 434 - 434
In a cavern so deep underground that it was nearing the bottom of the sea, 12 beings of great size yet different make up \'sat\' in a circle around each other.
At the southernmost end was an Insect that looked like a giant slug. It was huge, ugly and constantly released brown pus that was so smelly it was able to kill most beings with one sniff.
[Rancido - Level 97 Toxic Bug
HP: 62,720/62,720 MP: 4,365/4,365 STA: 23,765/23,765]
To its right, was another bug that was also of a great size, but this one had a colorful carapace, large cute eyes and short stubby legs that moved about adorably.
[Ladyba - Level 89 Soul Bug
HP: 34,543/34,543 MP: 14,534/14,534 STA: 2,233/2,233]
The third bug also had an innocent looking appearance, quite similar to a large moth. It had large black orbs for eyes, two dark brown wings with dark spots and a body that was light purple.
[Mothlina - Level 87 Support Bug
HP: 23,908/23,908 MP: 44,103/44,103 STA: 3,562/2,562]
Next to the moth was a bug that was similar to a beetle, its horn long enough to overturn entire buildings if it so wished, and its blue carapace shining like metal plate armor.
[Heracron - Level 93 War Bug
HP: 54,976/54,976 MP: 6,887/6,887 STA: 20,500/20,500]
The fifth Insect in this circle was similar to a spider with its 8 metallic legs that were void of hair. Its torso was a sleek black color, just like its 8 eight eyes. Barely anyone who had looked into them had lived to tell the tale, as its mandibles as well as chelicerae were razor sharp.
[Spidersin - Level 92 Assassin Bug
HP: 23,332/23,332 MP: 10,420/10,420 STA: 9,744/9,744]
Next to the silent and stock still spider was a bug similar to an ant, but had a yellow carapace and to feels long enough to form a bridge across a chasm. Its black eyes gazed at all those around it with dissatisfaction.
[Anthony - Level 100 Worker Bug
HP: 56,008/56,008 MP: 23,200/23,200 STA: 45,800/45,800]
Back to Rancido, on his left was a bug that looked similar to a centipede. It had multitudes of legs, two pincers on its face and its beady red eyes gazed at the other bugs with hostility.
[Centicreed - Level 94 Burrower Bug
HP: 45,560/45,560 MP: 2,300/2,300 STA: 24,897/24,897]
Next to the centipede was a bug that was similar to a mosquito, with a proboscis that was long, shiny and menacing. Its blood sack was huge, but shriveled up at this time for obvious reasons.
[Bloodivore - Level 90 Blood Bug
HP: 17,180/17,180 MP: 12,360/12,360 STA: 5,800/5,800]
Beside Bloodivore was a bug that was shaped similar to a beetle, only it had long hind legs that could reach behind its body with ease.
[Sonicket - Level 91 Sound Bug
HP: 21,311/21,311 MP: 33,182/33,182 STA: 9,881/9,881]
The tenth Insect was a giant humanoid bee with two yellow eyes, a thorax with a stinger at her back and two antennae. The rest of her body was surprisingly similar to that of a human.
[Queenie - Level 99 Killer Bug
HP: 56,782/56,782 MP: 44,988/44,988 STA: 24,897/24,897]
And on the left of Queenie, was a bug similar to a worm with two beady black eyes on tis head and a huge maw with endless teeth within.
[Gluttworm - Level 98 Devourer Bug
HP: 87,340/87,340 MP: 3,456/3,456 STA: 45,877/45,877]
And finally, opposite Rancido, at the northernmost end of the room and where the seat of leadership likely stood, was a bug that was similar to a fly.
It was large and aged, with two whiskers besides it proboscis and compound eyes with many squares that were grey, indicating its partial blindness.
No matter which bug or their disposition, they showed respect and deference towards this giant fly.
[Beelzebub - Level ??? Lord Bug
HP: ??? MP: ??? STA: ???]
"I say, why are we still here? Is this really a matter that deserves all of us to meet? I have a huge backlog of projects to complete, with hundreds of new orders coming in every per minute. I simply do not have time for this!" Anthony protested as he smashed the ground with one of his feelers.
"Hmph, leave it to the little ant to only think about his little projects. I have the job of expanding our tunnels and networks, an important task that is never ending for me or my kind, yet do I complain? No!" Centicreed called out with a sneer.
Anthony was visibly furious, about to reply when the soothing voice of Ladyba sounded out, like a young girl below age 13 who had a cherry outlook.
"Brothers, please do not fight again. Let us discuss what we were summoned here for, okay?"
Both Antony and Centicreed glared at each other and harrumphed, looking away coldly. Heracron laughed with a buff, manly voice and spoke condescendingly.
"Now that the childish banter is over, let us discuss what is the topic for the day. A group of three humans suspected to be at the Grandmaster stage have been rampaging on the floors above us."
"My scouts report that they have not only bulldozed through the entire of the first 50% of the underground, but they have slaughtered every nearly Insect on their way. What is even more interesting is the fact that they had turned most of the underground into their territory by establishing some metallic contraptions reminiscent of those Gravitas machines." Spidersin added with a cold and emotionless voice.
Hearing this matter from the mouth of these two, the room became silent as the various Insect Lords contemplated the meaning of this.
After all, to hear that another intruder had come this far down during this so-called yearly culling of their species was quite unusual.
