Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge-Chapter 575 - 376: The Reluctant Retreat of the Insect Race Leader!_2

The ordinary insect swarm suffered massive casualties, placing all the pressure on the high-rank insects and the BOSSes.

With this clean sweep, the numerical advantage of the insect swarm was completely eradicated.

The undead army began their strangulation mode, but just at that moment, thirty-eight colossal creatures, each over ten meters in size, burst from the ground.

Almost instantaneously, the appearance of these giant bugs swept and crushed the surrounding undead creatures.

Thirty-eight circles, each about twenty meters across, appeared on the battlefield.

"Whoa, they’re really bringing it now, block them, don’t let them charge at the Lord’s Mansion!"

Thirty-eight Fourth-Order Epic Bosses, among them eight were Tier 4 Peak Level 100, and the rest ranged from Level 81 to 90.

This was a powerful force of the Insect Race, but it didn’t pose a threat to Zi Liyuan.

If he wanted to summon Epic Bosses, Zi Liyuan could easily call forth another dozen or so.

Just within the Necro Realm, he had forcibly taken in dozens of Epic Boss level spectres from the Wokou nation, all of which Lord Zi had subdued and made obedient.

Summoning them as minions posed no problem at all.

Moreover, even without Xiao Guang, the Orochi, and the three Hydra Monsters in the territory now, there was no shortage of legendary and epic creatures.

The Spider Queen and the Yuki-onna were surely Tier-4 Peak Legendary Bosses.

Three Golden Behemoths, three Frost Giants, the Ridgeback Tortoise, the Demon Spider, the Undead Jade Horse, Hongsha, Dailisi, Lao Tie, Kulong, and Edward were all Fourth-Order Peak Epic Bosses.

Just the battle power of the three Golden Behemoths alone, as supreme soldiers, could take on these Insect Epic Bosses in a 1v3 without fear.

Not to mention the two legendary bosses, the Spider Queen and the Yuki-onna.

Aside from the Ridgeback Tortoise still guarding the entrance of the Lord’s Mansion and Edward stationed inside to protect it, with Dailisi serving as Zi Liyuan’s mount in the sky, all the other legendary and epic bosses charged at the newly emerged Epic Insect Bosses.

The three Golden Behemoths roared like gorillas as they charged over, swatting an Epic Insect with a slap and sending it tumbling towards another Epic Insect.

Then they relentlessly pursued, brutally knocking over the Epic Insects, pinning them down and violently slapping them.

Their slaps were incredibly domineering, with sharp claws easily slicing through the Epic Insects’ hard carapaces, tearing open huge gashes.

Insect blood splattered everywhere, instantly staining the ground, and the "sizzling" corrosive sound began to damage the territory.

Even though the Insect blood had a strong corrosive effect, when it splashed on the Golden Behemoths, it only corroded a large patch of their golden fur; their muscles and skin, tough as diamonds, remained unaffected by the blood’s corrosion.

The three Golden Behemoths, one creature taking on two bugs, still had the upper hand.

The three Frost Giants, unwilling to show weakness, also flipped an insect into the air with their claws, then followed up to bash two insects together.

Unlike the Golden Behemoths, the Frost Giants’ skin couldn’t resist the Insect blood’s corrosion, but they promptly coated their bodies in a layer of frost.

When the Insect blood landed on the frost, even though it sizzled as it eroded, it couldn’t penetrate the frost’s protection.

Latter on, the Frost Giants tore open the carapaces of the Epic Insects, directly using frost power to freeze their wounds solid.

Not only did this prevent the Insect blood from spilling, but the power of the frost slowed down the insects’ movements.

The six Epic Giants pinned twelve Epic Insects to the ground, scrubbing them forcefully, the insects’ resistance negligible.

Meanwhile, the Spider Queen and the Yuki-onna were equally busy.

Having returned to her true form, the Spider Queen’s enormous body regarded the ten-plus-meter Epic Insects as nothing more than oversized toys.

With the dual blades in her hands and the spider legs on her back, she cut through the insects as easily as chopping vegetables.

The Epic Insects’ forelimbs, despite being equipped with huge scythe-like appendages, couldn’t defend against the Spider Queen’s slashes.

Often, a single strike would bisect an Insect scythe, and had they not dodged quickly enough, they might have been cleaved with huge gashes in their bodies.

The Spider Queen alone overwhelmed and battered eight Epic Insects.

The Yuki-onna, on the other hand, unfurled her frost domain and controlled the power of cold within it to freeze the Epic Insects.

Her potent frost power was ceaselessly freezing the insects’ bodies, enveloping them in layers of ice as if they were encased in glaciers.

Under the constant infusion of frost power, the insects frozen by the ice found it extremely difficult to extricate themselves.

Of course, within the icy domain of the Yuki-onna, it wasn’t just the epic insects that were frozen, but also the ordinary insects surrounding them.

Snowflakes began to fall throughout the Purple Abyss Territory, and soon everything on the ground was encased in a layer of frost.

Under the Yuki-onna’s control, these snowflakes and frost only froze the insects, while the undead creatures were not affected in any way.

This extensive AOE allowed the Yuki-onna to attack all the insects at once, restricting and weakening them.

The Spider Queen and Kulong were not to be outdone and picked two epic insects to attack as well.

The former, possessing a level equal to Zi Liyuan, was a summoned creature that came with his equipment.

The latter was an epic Spectral Dragon forcibly raised by Zi Liyuan using the [Heart of the Lord].

Both engaging in 1V2 battle, the spider and dragon fought ferociously, trading blow for blow.

A Tier-4 Peak Level 100 beating a Tier-4 Level 90 epic insect was a complete overpowering assault.

But it didn’t end there, Kulong even commanded a kind of Spectral Dragon Lord Boss to join in this group attack.

The small Hundred Dragon Squad unleashed six hundred replica Lord Bosses that swooped down from the sky in swarms, swarming the epic insects with a vicious onslaught.

All of them were Tier 4 Peak Level 100 Spectral Dragon replicas, uniform in their Lord Boss template. Even without the ability to use skills, their sheer physical prowess and attributes, along with their fearlessness, meant that twenty could crowd around a single Epic Boss insect, completely stalling it.

As for the actual Spectral Dragon Bosses, they floated in the air, not diving down but sweeping past close to the ground, unleashing a deadly breath of dragon fire.

A large group of insects was eroded by the breath of death, each one afflicted with an Aging Curse.

Not only was their strength being constantly weakened, but their very life essence was rapidly draining away.

Lao Tie, Lao Ma, and Hongsha, who had just prepared for battle, hadn’t even made their move when they found that all the epic insects were completely surrounded.

The Insect Race’s leader, hidden in the shadows, was genuinely taken aback at this moment.

This was not at all what it had expected!

Why were the subordinates of this undead lord so powerful?

Epic Boss against Epic Boss, why were they all dealing with two at a time, effortlessly, while pummeling the high-level insects it had painstakingly cultivated?

Is that even reasonable?

It’s not reasonable at all!

Especially when it saw the Undead Jade Horse, the Hongsha specter, the Hell Demon Puppet, and the Ridgeback Tortoise, which hadn’t even moved from their spots.

The insect leader was distracted.

Four Epic Bosses hadn’t joined the fight; if it decided to launch a sneak attack on the Lord’s Mansion, it would probably be held back as well, right?

That’s right, sending out the Epic Boss insects was merely to divert the defensive forces of the territory.

The real trump card was actually the insect leader itself.

As a former Tier-6 Peak Legendary Boss, even though its powers had been partially sealed by the Sea Boundary Seal, it remained a Tier-4 Peak Legendary Boss.

With its capabilities, it could breach the Lord’s Mansion with tens of millions of HP in mere seconds and completely demolish it.

But now, the insect leader hesitated again.

There were still four Tier-4 Peak Epic Bosses that hadn’t moved; they could hold off for a while if it tried to ambush the Lord’s Mansion.

If those fearless Spectral Dragon Lord Bosses were called to act as shields, it was very likely that it would be encircled and beaten by two Legendary Bosses and a host of Epic Bosses to the point where escape would be impossible!

In other words, the strategy of sneaking an attack on the Lord’s Mansion had failed!

"Retreat!"

Almost instantly, the insect leader issued this order.

The prospect of conquering the Purple Abyss Territory, of destroying the Lord’s Mansion, was no longer realistic.

What it needed to consider now was how to preserve more of its fighting forces!
