Chapter 432
Chapter 432 Evil Bugs Exterminated
The six elite carcass beetles were an undefeatable existence within the woods!
Their shells were hard and difficult to pierce. Their jaws could mince anything in their way. The waves of vampires wouldn’t have been enough to fill their appetites if it weren’t for their slow speed and lack of ranged attacks.
Acteon didn’t need to worry about his safety with the beetles guarding him. He could recklessly rain his fury upon his enemies. Acteon alone solely caused most of the chaos and destruction in the woods.
However, the vampires were slowly figuring out a strategy to deal with these troublesome and slow beetles after such a long and drawn-out fight. The plan was to draw them out of the formation and isolate them!
Large flocks of bats scattered around Acteon. They threw their bodies at him repeatedly to continually goad Acteon into striking them. The more powerful vampires then assaulted the formation and crashed against the carcass beetles’ defensive line.
If they managed to bait any beetle away from the defensive line, a vampire lying in wait would immediately draw the beetle towards the perimeter. Of course, plenty of vampires died in this process.
This gigantic claw transformed into a mass of creeping scorpions in midair. They fell onto the blood knight’s body like a hive of bees and swiftly engulfed the knight. What came next was the terrifying sound of crunching and biting, as well as mad shouts of pain from the blood knight!
Pu.
The bowstring’s snapping sound rang out in midair. A crimson rain shrouded a large area and swallowed the swarm of bugs.
The needle-like rain pierced through the struggling knight, pinning the hundreds of scorpions on his body to the ground along with him.
When the rain of crimson light had all fallen to the ground, the blood knight and scorpions had all been reduced to pools of blood.
Acteon’s pained screech came from within the swarm of vampires!
Mary paid the price of a single blood knight, while Acteon had paid the cost of a hundred scorpions.
This price was nothing to Mary, who had already steeled her resolve. However, this was literally as painful as severing an arm for Acteon, who sorely lacked reinforcements.
Even though Acteon tried his best to transform his body and grow a new claw, his mass inevitably shrunk in the process.
This scene was like a war horn blown in the heat of battle. It instantly caused the vampires to go berserk!
Soros, Windsor, and Delin were the three Second Grade blood knights that were left. They were like three incomparably sharp daggers as they melded into the crowd of vampires and continuously assaulted Acteon.
Their runic blades infused with dense crimson energies always cut a deep wound on Acteon’s body. A shroud of blood energy would then linger on the injury, preventing Acteon from healing it.
Acteon was like a wolf with its back against a wall as it fought in the encirclement. A pale green and savage light gleamed in his eyes as he furiously attempted to strike these blood knights that had wounded him.
“Mary…come out and fight me. You come out…”
Acteon continued to taunt and shout as he waved his large claws in combat. More and more wounds appeared on his body.
Finally, Acteon’s body crumbled after yet another violent blow from Soros!
Boom.
The remaining magical energies in Acteon’s body exploded into a massive cloud of smoke. Hundreds of black insects shot in every direction from the ensuing shockwave, flying so fast it was almost as if they were bullets.
Even though there were plenty of vampires surrounding Acteon, they couldn’t intercept all of these bugs.
However, as the vampires were flying around in an attempt to intercept every one of them, Mary’s slender body suddenly appeared at the border. She extended her beautiful hand and caught an ordinary-looking insect with her bare hands.
She put her hands together, and crimson energy started to together. The power turned into a strange rune and entered the insect.
Tssss.
The strange insect screeched in pain before finally turning into a black beetle. Acteon’s hideous bug face appeared on the shell and shouted at Mary.
However, Acteon finally felt fear when he sensed the terrifying blood energies gathering in Mary’s palm.
“Let me go. Lady Mary, as long as you let me go, I will be willing to submit to you and obey your orders forever.”
For the first time, sorrow, fear, and despair appeared on Acteon’s face. He desperately started fawning.
“Hmph! I do not need an ugly subordinate like you.” An expression of disdain appeared on Mary’s pretty face. She clasped her hands together, and powerful crimson energy devoured the last of Acteon’s consciousness as he howled in agony.
