Chapter 778 - Bug Adept Advances
Chapter 778 Bug Adept Advances
Icewind, White Tower.
Though White Tower was in the Northern Lands and did not have accurate information on everything that was happening in the clan headquarters, gossip and rumors still quickly spread throughout the land.
Most of the clan adepts within the tower had been drawn back into Fire Throne where they were desperately fending off the invaders. However, judging from what news they received, the situation didn’t seem to be looking up.
That caused the members at White Tower to become anxious and concerned!
Fortunately, Majordomo Adept Meryl was still here. With the collective efforts of her and Icelady Snowlotus, they quickly managed to suppress the hint of chaos and uprising that was stirring amongst the others.
Billis’ appearance might not seem to have changed much from before his evolution, but if someone were to examine his insides, they would find that he had undergone a tremendous transformation.
Billis looked upon these magical mantis bodyguards of his seriously. When he extended his Spirit onto their soul brands, these Intermediate First-Grade mantises started to writhe and cry in pain, even as tremendous changes occurred to them.
Their bodies stretched out, their wings expanded, and their bones grew while their terrifying scythe-shaped arms became even sharper. They even glowed with a strange magical light.
Five magical mantises had successfully advanced into Voidreavers before Billis’ face.
It was a ferocious Beginner Second-Grade magical creature!
They might have kept their appearances as magical mantises, but they were far more formidable and ferocious.
Voidstep gave them the unique ability to enter the interspatial layer temporarily. This ability was remarkably suited for walking through obstacles or avoiding attacks. They could only maintain Voidstepping for three seconds with their current power, while the cooldown was eighteen seconds.
Moreover, they could also allow this ability to temporarily enhance their scythe limbs and imbue them with the ability to ignore all defenses.
However, sadly, their Physique after evolution was considered weak among Second Grade magical creatures. They were predators with weak defenses yet powerful attacks.
Upon completing their evolutions, the insects’ life-grades changed.
The five Voidreavers beat their mighty wings and crouched right before Billis, while the other magical mantises retreated further away out of fear. They silently crouched on the ground, not daring to compete with these Voidreavers for the position at the front.
Meanwhile, the massive swarm spread out even further away, turning into a squirming circle as they silently protected their swarm leader.
Billis looked upon these newly advanced Voidreavers with satisfaction on his face. For the first time, he felt the power of being a bug adept. Billis did not feel like a Second Grade adept would have the chance to escape or survive if they were surrounded by all five of these Beginner Second-Grade Voidreavers.
If one were to pick out any weakness of the Voidreaver, it would be their inability to use scrolls, potions, or magic wands like other human adepts. They fought purely with their powerful bodies. Otherwise, Billis would have absolute confidence in simultaneously fighting three or four Second Grade adepts and coming out victorious.
After all, adepts treasured their lives, while his insect generals were fearless!
…………
Adept Meryl immediately hurried over once Billis stepped out of his room.
Though Meryl couldn’t see any part of Billis’ body hidden under his black robes, she was certain that he had successfully advanced.
That was because the Beginner First-Grade Meryl felt an odd sense of fear and terror from the depths of her heart just from standing near him. If it wasn’t because Billis knew well enough to restrain his ferocious insect aura, Meryl might not even be able to stand straight before him.
The spiritual pressure from the grade suppression and Billis’ unique aura of cruelty blended together, elevating him from being a mere master of insects hated by all!
“Billis…Lord Billis,” Meryl bit her lips and tried her best to suppress the wild fear surging from the depths of her heart, “Congratulations…on becoming…a Second Grade adept!”
“Tsssss…”
Billis savored her fear with an expression of intoxication. He could no longer suppress the joy within him as he let out an unbridled shriek.
