1949  Chapter 1949. The Western and Eastern Lords

The titanic-sized insects were giant centipedes with horns all over their bodies. Their hundred legs were each a sharp spear. They screeched as they came out. Following their screech were sound cannons fired from their mouths. Jet and the others had to retreat to avoid getting hit.

Ten giant centipedes emerged from Beelzebub’s back. These centipedes were level 90 mythical. They spread and engage Jet and the others.

After Beelzebub birthed the giant centipedes, he remained in a crouching position. His body was shivering. The shivering was getting stronger. He was not done yet.

Another loud screech was heard. A giant insect head with a single horn burst out from the devil’s back. It seemed to be struggling as it came out. After half its body was out, its exiting speed abruptly increased. It came out with a pop. Its body was almost as large as Beelzebub. It had two thin transparent wings, two clawed legs, and six long upper limbs that ended with scythe-like blades. It looked like a deformed and mutated mantis. This demon mantis was level 94 eternal grade.

Beelzebub was still crouching. Its back carapaces were still open. A terrible-looking and long insect leg came out of his back. Then another, and another. After eight such legs came out, the main body appeared next. It was a titanic spider with unusually long legs. When they saw the bottom belly of that spider, it was a huge eyeball. This eyeball spider was also level 94 eternal grade.

Beelzebub hunched ever lower. He started growling.

Another giant head popped out. This time, it looked like a common demon’s head, except it was huge. But as soon as its body was out, it was apparent it was no common demon. It had two unusually long arms that ended with gigantic pincers. Almost all of its body was covered by thick plates, like a crustacean. Its bottom half was a bulging tank-like abdomen with eight insect legs. It had a long tail that ended with a scorpion stinger. This crustacean demon was a level 95 eternal grade.

Beelzebub was panting after birthing these three eternal-grade demon insects. He turned to where Trinity was. Following his gaze, the three eternal-grade demon insects marched in that direction. Trinity needed to stay stationary to focus her control over the Field Prison rune diagram. If she was forced to move, she would lose control. Without her mana empowering the field prison, Beelzebub could easily break out.

Jet and the others tried to block the three demons, but the demon centipedes hindered their paths. Some iron mammoths rushed back to help with the centipedes, but they were not fast enough. The fastest among the three eternal-grade demon insects was the demon mantis. It was the first to reach Trinity, John, and Purple Mist.

Its six scythe-like blades burned with an ominous aura. It slashed at the three, but someone else came in between. The six giant blades clanged onto a tower shield and were unable to proceed.

The one who blocked the slashes was Giant Steve. He gained several passive abilities when he upgraded to Eternal Guardian. One of the abilities was the Protector Aura. Any ally within a five-meter radius of him received ten percent less damage. Another ability was Sentinel’s Share Damage no longer had a duration, range, or cooldown. He could mark one ally and continuously share damage with that ally for the duration of the battle. Additionally, he could teleport to this ally any time he wished, but he needed one minute in between each teleport.

This teleport was what he had used. He shared damage with Trinity Dawn earlier. She was the key to keeping Beelzebub pinned down, so he had to protect her.

He also activated Eternal Guardian’s level 70 skill before receiving the demon mantis’ slashes. The skill was called Living Fortress. It increased his defenses by 800% and his elemental resistances by 80 points. All damage received was halved. He was immune to status effects and movement restrictions. Hostile skills and spells that could pass through a target are blocked when they hit him. This skill lasted thirty minutes.

With this skill, he could block the power of the demon mantis who was much bigger than him.

Beelzebub didn’t stay idle after birthing the demon insects. He originally wanted to cast the Extinguishing Chaos Flash in Trinity’s direction, but now that Steve was there, he canceled that attempt. Steve had proven he was able to block that spell. It would be a waste to cast it. Instead, he cast Rock Pellets.

The rock rained from all directions. Purple Mist cast Sanctuary where they were standing. The spell recovered the HP they lost from getting battered by the rocks. She also summoned a Lesser Angel. The lesser angel, John, and she stood circling Trinity. They used their bodies as shields, so Trinity was hit by as few rocks as possible.

John was casting while doing that. He had been casting since the three demon insects appeared. He finally completed his spell.

A gigantic hand burst from the ground near where the eyeball spider was crawling on. This hand grabbed one of the spider’s legs. Following the appearance of the hand were several flame geysers. The eyeball demon was struck by these flame geysers, receiving fire damage.

The huge eyeball on the spider’s body gleamed. This gleam intensified into an optic blast that hit the ground near the protruding hand. The blast caused an explosion and the ground caved in.

The hand released the eyeball spider’s leg following the explosion. The spider resumed its advance but didn’t get far. Something huge burst out of the cave-in ground and wasted no time to give the eyeball spider an uppercut. The uppercut was aimed at the bottom of the spider’s belly where the eyeball was. A magic shield appeared in time before the fist connected.

The magic shield failed to completely block the uppercut. The force threw the eyeball spider into the air. The one who delivered the uppercut didn’t stop there. It jumped into the air, staying close to the spider. It was a titanic ape with crimson furs. The fists of this ape burst into flames. It then used Infinite Lightning Punches. Uncountable fiery fists punched into the eyeball spider. Each punch resulted in a fiery explosion.

This giant ape came from Monster Overlord’s level 80 spell, Summon Western Lord, The Mighty Ape. The ape was a level 97 eternal humanoid monster.

The ape ended his barrage of punches with one big swing. The resulting impact threw the demon spider away. The ape then performed two large jumps to the side, arriving before the crustacean demon.

The crustacean demon was about to attack Trinity. It was taken aback when the ape suddenly appeared before it. It used one of its oversized pincers to block a double-kick from the ape. The kick sent it staggering to the side. Before it recovered from the stagger, it felt its tail getting grabbed.

It was the mighty ape who grabbed the tail. The ape pulled. The ape was strong enough to swing the heavy crustacean demon in circles several times before throwing it at the demon mantis still fighting Giant Steve. The collision sent the two demons stumbling on the ground.

The mighty ape roared and did chest-beatings. This act was not just for show. It was a skill. After it finished beating its chest, it received a buff, and so did Steve and the others in the vicinity. It then ran toward the crustacean demon and the demon mantis.

On the way, the mighty ape used another skill. A big chunk of rock magically materialized in its hands. It threw this rock at the demon mantis about to fly up. The rock crashed into the demon mantis. The impact sent it falling back to the ground.

The ape then punched the crustacean demon, who returned in kind using its pincers.

While the two were exchanging blows, the eyeball spider returned. It didn’t go and help its comrades. It went directly to Trinity. Beelzebub’s command was to take out Trinity. It was intent on carrying out that command. It cast a spell while advancing. Phantasm darts flew toward Trinity. Giant Steve put himself in the path and blocked the phantasm darts.

When the eyeball spider was about to arrive, it was again intercepted. This time, by a blue beam that pierced out of the ground. The part of the eyeball spider hit by the beam was encased in ice. The beam dealt ice damage and had a strong knockback force. The eyeball spider stopped its charge and staggered backward as the ice beam continued to pour onto it.

 Another titanic creature burst from the ground where the ice beam came out from. This creature looked like a stegosaurus. But instead of dorsal plates, it had rows of sharp ice crystals on its back. Its scales were glistening green. Its long tail ended with a crystalized blade. Its two eyes flared with icy mists.
