Chapter 480 The Poor Billis
It was a completely one-sided slaughter.
In terms of pure numbers, the Aba Beemen and the ogres were two of the largest tribes in this area. Their power also allowed them to crush the other magical creature tribes. Even great beings like wyverns couldn’t easily break into their territories.
Unfortunately for them, these two unchallenged magical creature tribes had now run into the overwhelming, crushing might of the Bloody Queen.
Yes, it was indeed a crushing!
The three blood knights that stood in a triangle formation were undefeated on the battlefield of carnage. The runic longswords in their hands could strike near and far. Every time their powerful blood-attribute sword techniques erupted, a corresponding number of ogres would suddenly collapse to the ground.
One could see that the main enemies of the blood knights were these muscular and towering ogres. That was why they threw most of their powerful sword techniques into the areas where the ogres were most concentrated. However, their attacks were remarkably measured; all the ogres were injured, but not dead. Even though the ogres’ wounds were grievous and severe, they wouldn’t threaten their lives yet.
The Aba Beemen, on the other hand, didn’t have such luck.
However, the hostility that Adept Mary displayed wasn’t what concerned Billis the most. What truly worried him was the mutated Queen Bug that had assimilated with him. It was as if the Queen Bug feared Adept Mary from the depths of her soul.
Through the assimilated soul origin, the fear and nervousness that the Queen Bug felt had been etched into Billis’ natural reactions as well. That was what caused him to appear too anxious and frantic near this female adept.
Even though he had never seen this powerful and beautiful female adept in his life, and even though they both belonged to the same faction, his soul origin was continually warning him; a single mistake, and he would very likely be killed on the spot.
Billis was reluctant to reveal his ‘true face’ to anyone after he had completely transformed into a bug. Billis would treat any magical creature or human as an enemy if they expressed disdain when they saw his face. He would think of the cruelest ways to kill the opponent.
Yet, at this moment, under Mary’s chilling killing intent, Billis had no choice but to take off his black robe and expose his black and shiny bug body beneath the sunlight.
One had to acknowledge that Billis was far more committed and far deeper down the path of Bug Transformation compared to Acteon.
Most of the time, Acteon had only treated his bug transformation as an auxiliary means to help him grow stronger. He had still wished to preserve a trace of humanity in the depths of his heart. Billis, on the other hand, had entirely given up on his human identity. He only weighed things in terms of pure power. That was why one could see absolutely no signs of a human on his exposed body.
This… this was just a strange bug that stood straight and who knew how to speak like people!
Mary was delighted with Billis’ obedience.
She had been hoping for Greem to increase the strength of his subordinates when she handed him the Queen Bug. Now that things were going perfectly, Mary had nothing to complain about.
Her killing intent from earlier was mostly just an instinctual reaction to difficult memories from her soul. Now that Mary had managed to adjust herself, the memories were no longer able to affect her emotions.
“Two red bugs escaped from the battlefield. I need to know their current position.” Mary commanded coldly.
“They fled there!” Billis quickly point towards a direction with his finger, “They have already escaped towards the bee’s nest, along with the remaining Aba Beemen. If you would like to, Billis can help show the way!”
Even Billis became unusually obedient and friendly under the pressure of death. He was trying to use every opportunity he had to get on equal terms with Adept Mary.
“Call out all your entire army of bugs!” Mary instructed, “Watch over the ogres here. I’ll come back to deal with the prisoners once I have cleared out that bee’s nest. Do it diligently, and you can get six of the corpses after the whole thing.”
“Understood! Billis will try his best to complete Lady Mary’s orders!” Billis’ body of bugs trembled slightly.
This Adept Mary had a pretty clear grasp of his power. Billis only needed six more ogres to gather enough life energy to raise himself to pseudo-adept. When that happened, he would no longer be as weak as he was now.
Vanlier leaned close to Mary and whispered after they had left the battlefield, “My Lady, are you that unconcerned about that bug man? What shall we do if he takes all the blood treats and takes off?”
Mary continued flying forward without even looking back. She tossed out a sentence coldly.
“Isn’t that even better?! He had best not give me a reason to kill him. Otherwise…”
Several red silhouettes quickly flew into the distance before she could finish speaking.
