Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

562 Terror Of The Plains [Part 1]

"Everyone, rally to me!" Pietro shouted within the blizzard.

Right now, the Town's Guards, and Lux's allies were trying to protect everyone. However, since the monsters were randomly firing a barrage of attacks at the blizzard, it was very hard for them to protect everyone.

Because of this, Pietro decided to gather everyone into one spot, so that the defenders could effectively protect them. They had already suffered several losses and the cries of pain, sadness, and anger within the blizzard made his heart ache.

The remaining residents were now less than two thousand people, and more died with every passing minute.

All the residents gathered together after hearing their Mayor's shout. Families huddled with each other, while others prayed to the Gods to save them from the Monsters that were out to kill them all.

When all the remaining residents had merged together in one place, Asmodeus, Eiko, and their clones synchronized their Skeleton Make Skill to create a Skeleton Dome to protect the people from further harm.

For a brief moment, the people sighed in relief after they were enclosed by the protective dome made of bones. However, this relief disappeared when loud cracking sounds were heard as the Ants' Iron and Steel Bullets collided with their shelter.

The Mosquitoes also shot Wind Blades into the Blizzard, hitting the Skeleton Dome relentlessly. Little by little, parts of the dome shattered. But, these places were immediately repaired as Asmodeus, and Eiko, continued to channel their mana to the skeletal structure that was keeping everyone safe.

Outside the raging blizzard, Lux and his clones unleashed countless spinning blades that shredded everything they came in contact with.

His Skeleton Gang Bangers, and Rock Golems were dealing with the remaining Giant Ground Beetles, while his Skeleton Arcane Hunters and Skeleton Mages were helping their Master attack the Tetramorium Ants

Just as everyone was being pushed to their limits, all of them heard a loud buzzing sound coming from the South.

"You have got to be kidding me…," Lux almost cursed out loud after seeing the new threat that was approaching them from behind.

Hundreds of monsters that Lux was all too familiar with were approaching them at a rapid pace.

They were none other than Red-Eyed Terror Mantises, which was one of the low-ranked Alpha Bosses of the Figaro Garden of Leaf Village.

Standing out among them were dozens of Golden-Eyed Crimson Mantises that had given Lux a scare of his life back then.

But, these monsters were nothing compared to the lone, seven-meter tall, Red Mantis that reminded the Half-Elf of how the Red-Eyed Terror Mantis and the Golden-Eyed Crimson Mantis looked when they activated their Berserk Ability.

Lux immediately summoned his Soul Book to identify the new arrivals, and this time, he didn't hold back and cursed out loud.

"F*ck!" The Half-Elf knew then and there that their chances of clearing their mission was now next to impossible.

Just dealing with the current monsters around them already made things extremely difficult for them. Now that a new threat had arrived, he was very tempted to raise his middle finger to the world.

A World Boss Monster was on a different level compared to an Alpha and a Field Boss Monster.

These Monsters' strength was at the peak of their respective Rankings, and it would take at least several Low-Rankers to defeat a Deimos-Ranked World Boss.

Lux had the impression that the Ant Queen of the Tetramorium Ants, as well as the Queen of the Red Giant Hornets might be World Bosses as well. But, these monsters weren't really proficient in fighting.

Their main purpose was to give birth to workers and soldiers, whose role was to provide her with food and protect her from harm.

Although they were hard to kill, their fighting power wasn't that great. They couldn't be compared to the Crimson Berserker Mantis, who was an Apex Predator in the insect world.

With an ear-piercing screech, the Crimson Mantis announced its presence, making all the Monsters shift their attention to it.

Just as Lux was thinking about what to do next, something unexpected happened. The Mosquito Swarm and the Red Giant Hornets immediately retreated.

The Ants, on the other hand, didn't back away and shifted their attention to the approaching Mantises and unleashed a barrage of Iron and Steel Bullets in their direction.

The three Deimos-Ranked Adamantium Ants also stopped attacking the seriously injured Giant Termite, whose flames had grown significantly smaller and weaker after fighting against three Deimos-Ranked opponents at the same time.

Two of the Giant Termite's six legs, and its wings had been torn off from its body. Puddles of magma-like blood pooled under its body. Despite how seriously injured it was, its will to fight didn't decrease, in fact it burned even brighter.

However, its opponents' attention had turned elsewhere, allowing it to catch its breath.

Although the Deimos-Ranked Adamantium Ants managed to give the Giant Termite serious injuries, they weren't unscathed and their bodies were filled with burn marks, despite how hard, and strong their defenses were.

Two of the Adamantium Ants even had black blood flowing out of their body from the bite marks of the Giant Termite, who fought them tooth and nail, despite being outnumbered.

Although the Mosquito Swarm and the Red Giant Hornets had left, and the Ants seemed to be keen on fighting the Mantises, something was telling Lux that they weren't out of danger.

In fact, his gut instincts were telling him that they were in more danger compared to what they faced earlier.

Just as the Half-Elf was thinking of ordering Asmodeus to tell the Mayor, Pietro, that they should use this opportunity to escape, the Crimson Berserker Mantis uttered another screech and slashed its razor sharp claws in front of it, creating a Crimson Wind Blade that annihilated anything it hit.

The Adamantium Ants immediately attacked it with Steel Bullets, but the Giant Crimson Mantis easily avoided it due to its high agility and dexterity.

Its movement was so fast that it managed to close the gap between it, and the three Deimos-Ranked Ants within seconds, catching the three by surprise.

The Crimson Mantis flew past them before soaring towards the sky, flying towards the Red Giant Hornets who had decided to escape from the battlefield.

Suddenly, one of the Adamantium Ants, who were five-meters-tall, collapsed on the ground.

Two of its Adamantium-Coated legs were cut off from its body, spraying black blood in the surroundings.

Lux couldn't believe what he saw because even his full powered strike wouldn't be able to accomplish such a thing.

While the Half-Elf was still trying to understand what just happened, the Crimson Berserker Mantis had already caught up with the Red Giant Hornets and started to cut them all in half.

In just a span of a minute, all of the Red Giant Wasps were dead, including the people that they had carried away to bring back to their nest.

After dealing with the Hornets, the Giant Crimson Mantis made a U-Turn before unleashing dozens of Crimson Blades, which annihilated the Giant Ground Beetles, Skeleton Gang Bangers, as well as the Rock Golems that had been fighting against each other since the battle started.

While this was happening, the Red-Eyed Terror Mantises, and the Golden-Eyed Crimson Mantises, engaged the Mosquito swarm and started a one-sided massacre.

They were led by three Savage Hunter Mantises, which were Rank 5 Field Boss Monsters.

Since the Crimson Berserk Mantis' could bestow its Special Ability, Berserker Fervor, to its allies, all the Mantises' attack power was boosted by 300%. This allowed them to slice through the mosquito swarm like a hot knife cutting through butter, decimating them without mercy.

It was at that moment when Lux realized why his Sixth Sense was screaming for him to escape from the place as far as he could.

Clearly, the Mantises had no intention of letting anyone leave the battlefield. They were Apex Predators who killed for the sake of killing.

As long as they decided to attack, they would not stop until their targets were sliced in half by their razor sharp claws, which were now stained by the blood of the insects that they had killed.
