Chapter 415 -415-Killing the Insect King
The insect army had never dreamed that one day, they would face replicated versions of themselves!
And worse still, when they bit down on these damned copies, all they felt was something like sand and gravel—hard and gritty, completely unable to provide them with any energy!
In truth, the insect army Caelan had created with [Simulated Cell] was based on the bizarre insects before him, but modified and upgraded. They were essentially a 2.0 version.
Because of that, although the battle that followed could not be called completely one-sided, Caelan’s side still held a considerable advantage. The insect army he had summoned even began pushing back.
This scene utterly enraged the Insect King’s cocoon in the middle of the spiderwebs!
It twisted its body desperately while letting out high-frequency rustling sounds, as though issuing some kind of command.
The insects outside surged even more violently.
The problem was, they were all blocked by the giant worm.
For a moment, the insects outside could not get in, while there were not many left inside.
After only a few short breaths, aside from the giant worm, the entire cavern was almost completely covered with insect corpses.
When Avril saw this, she rubbed her chest and let out a deep sigh of relief.
No matter what, at least for now, it seemed they were safe.
"Good. I think it’s time for us to leave!"
After saying this, Caelan waved his hand forward.
In the blink of an eye, the insect army formed from [Simulated Cell] began expanding toward the exit like a storm sweeping away fallen leaves.
The worm that had been stuck at the entrance originally intended to use its sharp mouthparts to deal with these impostors.
However, this time, it experienced for the first time the pain of being ganged up on.
Usually, it was the insect army that surrounded and overwhelmed others. It had never expected that this time, it would be the one getting swarmed!
The worm opened its huge mouth in fury, devouring every insect that approached without restraint.
However, after it bit into those insects, they all turned into gravel-like matter, leaving a rough, gritty sensation in its mouth. It felt uncomfortable and even bitter.
The worm’s powerful gastric fluid could do absolutely nothing to them. It could not even digest them.
Meanwhile, the number of copied insects continued to increase endlessly.
In the end, that worm was actually stuffed to death alive!
When Avril saw this scene, she was completely stunned.
No, seriously, why did it feel like this human’s iteration speed was even faster than these bizarre creatures?
Was this some kind of joke?!
In midair, more than half of the Insect King’s head had already emerged from the cocoon.
Although it clearly had not yet reached the proper condition to break free, the appearance of Caelan and Avril, these two intruders, had already made it feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.
With a ripping sound, the cocoon tore apart.
The next instant, an Insect King that looked like a fusion of a mantis and a beetle appeared before Caelan and Avril.
It possessed brownish-black armor that reflected the residual light created by Caelan’s [Infinite Lightblade].
As for its arms, they had been replaced by two sharp long blades. Although they were not made of metal, they gave off a metallic sheen unique to steel.
Almost immediately, the Insect King charged toward Avril.
Avril did not even have time to activate her complete state before the Insect King’s blade slashed viciously toward one of her shoulders.
In that instant, half of Avril’s wing was actually severed by a single strike.
A large amount of blood instantly sprayed out, forming a pool of blood on the ground in the blink of an eye.
"Ahhh!"
Avril cried out in pain and instinctively tried to use a skill to dodge.
However, the Insect King was far faster than her!
Before Avril could even gather her energy, the Insect King’s blade was already inches away from her head!
At that moment, Avril felt the aura of death like never before.
She closed her eyes in despair and completely gave up resisting.
The crushing power displayed by the Insect King filled her heart with a deep sense of despair.
At this moment, she regretted it beyond words.
She should never have brought Caelan to the Beta Sector!
Damn human, you’ve gotten me killed!
Just as Avril sank into despair, a crisp sound suddenly entered her ears and pierced into her mind.
Crack!
Had something shattered?
It sounded like glass breaking.
But how could there be glass inside the cavern?
Avril opened her eyes in confusion, only to see a graceful back standing before her.
"I told you. I won’t let you die here."
Caelan’s tone was calm as he tossed out a bottle of recovery potion.
The potion drew an arc through the air before landing precisely in Avril’s hand.
"Heal your injury first. I’ll avenge you."
The next instant, Caelan moved!
In his rule state, Caelan’s mastery over spatial power had already reached an exquisite level.
His figure flashed, and he vanished from where he stood.
When he appeared again, he had already grasped the weak point at the back of the Insect King’s neck!
The Insect King instinctively wanted to dodge.
It was extremely fast and almost immediately tried to dig toward the bottom of the cavern to escape.
The power of rules surging from Caelan’s body made it feel a fear that came from the depths of its soul.
However, all of this was still too slow!
The longsword in Caelan’s hand instantly transformed into a streak of light, then pierced precisely into the Insect King’s neck.
The next instant, the Insect King’s body froze.
Then its remaining arm began slashing wildly in every direction.
However, its frenzy only lasted for barely half a minute.
Because its central nervous system had already been completely severed by Caelan’s longsword.
Avril was still badly shaken, but she nevertheless used the recovery potion to heal her wing.
Just then, she suddenly felt a strong arm gently wrap around her waist.
"Let’s go back."
...
Gamma City.
When Caelan brought Avril back to Gamma Academy, Wesker and the others surrounded them almost immediately.
Although Avril’s injury had already recovered, the weakness of her aura was an undeniable fact.
Wesker frowned and could not help asking, "What happened? Why is Avril injured?"
He had originally thought that this operation would be very simple.
It was only a trip to the Beta Sector, and Avril’s strength should have been more than enough for the task.
But he had never expected such consequences.
Caelan did not hide anything and roughly described what had happened.
A solemn expression immediately appeared on Wesker’s face.
He rubbed the space between his brows, his tone carrying a trace of difficulty.
"The Beta Sector, huh? What a troublesome mess."
"Forget it. Take Avril for treatment first!"
