Chapter 133 Fierce Battle With The Insectoids

Every second felt like they were sitting on fire as a bead of hot sweat dripped from their foreheads. The heart-piercing sound grew louder every second.

Those that were yet to see the Insectoid race were baffled and curious about them. But they held their curiosity in check as they fixed their gaze in a particular direction. Whatever comes in that direction would decide their future.

After what looked like forever, two long tendrils appeared at the corner of the tunnel. It twitched twice, swaying with the gentle wind. It retreated into the dark tunnel and appeared again.

Seeing the two bizarre tendrils, everyone held their breath as they waited patiently. Waiting for what was behind the tunnel.

A ghostly sound echoed slowly from the end of the tunnel as a monster appeared slowly from the end of the tunnel.

It had a snake head, a cat body with scales, two short legs, and a long brown tail.

Its onion-color head had a hue of yellow, single eye, laced with green and white stripes. Its cat's body was covered in shiny black scales while its short legs were the same as its head.

Opening its mouth, three-meter-long fangs shot out with the poisonous liquid. Its eyes rolled from one corner of its socket to another watching the group of people in front of it silently.

Mullen watched the strange-looking monster in trepidation as he swallowed the lumps in his throat. He looked at Howard's face and it was ashen.

Sergio glanced at his men as his heart raced. The look he saw almost frightened him over the strange monster that was right in front of him.

He opened his mouth to speak but the word stuck in his throat when a couple of screeches came from the tunnel.

Hundreds of Insectoids appeared as they have different animal parts. Some were reptile-like, while others were a combination of species of animals. Some were giant insects with a strong carapace.

On the wall, a series of monsters with eight tentacles, three eyes, and two tendrils on their head, crept forward slowly.

"Remember, this is not a fight to kill all the Insectoid race. But to delay them." Justin said slowly as his weapon came out of his arms.

"Your highness, I don't mean to question your -- authority. But how long are we going to delay them since our destination has been compromised? What are we doing?" Sergio whispered but everyone could hear his voice.

Everyone perked their ears as they waited quietly for his response. Justin waited for a couple of seconds as his eyes fixed on the continuous increase of Insectoid.

Now, the tunnel was crawling with dozens of different species of Insectoid, making different strange sounds. The Insectoid fixed their eyes on the humans in front without moving.

No one knew why they didn't attack. But with the look of things, something was not simple as it seems on the surface and that was what caught Justin's attention.

Those that were waiting for his response were getting impatient and couldn't help but wonder what was going on in Justin's head.

'These monsters are not like the usual beast we have been fighting. They seem to be coordinated by something.' Justin thought as he expanded his perception to the limit.

He knit his brow as he saw hundreds of Insectoids with his perception. Everywhere was crawling with them as they continued to pour into the tunnel.

'How could there be this many?' He thought in panic.

Seeing the continuous stream of Insectoid frightened him as he was lost on what to do. They couldn't climb to the surface and couldn't stay in the tunnel.

'With the Insectoid on our neck. Going to the next bunker location is out of the question.' His thoughts spiral from one problem to another but everything leads to a dead end.

Unknown to him, his expression changed on every bit of thought that proved futile. While Susan witnessed all the changes in his expression.

She opened her mouth but closed it slowly as she was lost on what to say in their current situation.

'ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ No(ve) l Bi n',

Screech!

A powerful scream shook everyone from their thoughts as the massive wave of Insectoids pounced on them.

Screech.

Howl

Hiss

The combination of different sound species of Insectoid makes the men's skulls scalped and their muscles tightened. They were less than fifty while the Insectoid were endless.

Can we survive this?

This thought appeared in the mind of everyone as they took a battle stance. Justin and Susan stood in front of the line while those in their Circle who had been suppressed to the First Circle were behind them. Lastly, the threaded people, which was the majority, took the last line.

When the Insectoid was only a couple of feet from them. Justin took a deep breath and said.

"Watch each other back and don't hesitate to call for help"

Whoosh!

His weapon disappeared from his presence, leaving a trail of golden line behind as appeared in front of the Insectoid race.

Boom!

Dozens of Insectoid were sent flying as they crashed into the tunnel, shaking the tunnel vehemently. Watching the death of their fallen comrade, the Insectoid screamed as they furiously rushed toward their target.

Swiss! Swiss!

Dozens of spikes came out from the Insectoid as they covered the group leaving no room for a maneuverer.

Justin didn't dilly dally, he controlled his weapon to create a forcefield in front of the group.

Bang! Bang!

The spike hit the sound barrier and bounced back. When men behind the barrier saw the numerous spikes from their enemies. They suck in cold breath.

Most of them didn't see the spike coming and couldn't but shiver when they thought about what would have happened if Justin didn't shield them.

"Lightning world" Susan's whip faced forward as a powerful bolt of lightning came out of her whip.

Bang!

The insecticide crawling on the tunnel ceiling was charred into smoke and sent flying. Justin removed the buried when he noticed the Insectoid was almost crawling all over them and attacked the most crowded part.

Boom!

A couple of Insectoids were killed but in the ocean of insectoids. Their death means nothing.

Justin and Susan work in perfect sync as they try to push the Insectoid back without using their core power.

Watching the devastating power from the two most powerful people in the camp. The men were shocked but a hint of hope appeared deep in their minds.

'',

In a couple of minutes, the pile of Insectoid dead bodies makes a small mountain as various fluids gush out of their bodies, forming a small stream, flowing toward Justin's group.

With both their long-range attacks, the Insectoid tried various ways to get closer to Justin and Susan but it was for nuts. Those with a long-range attack, attack Justin's group but are shielded by Justin.

Screech!

The three meters snake head and cat body Insectoid came forward from the back of the Insectoid and stared intently with its single on both Justin and Susan.

Suddenly, it made another cry. But this cry was different from the previous ones. Hearing the sound, Justin knit his brow and looked at the monster that made the sound.

"Merab, kill that monster." Justin's voice entered Merab's ear.

Merab didn't need to be told. She knew which monster needed to be killed. Her black bow appeared in her hand with a golden arrow.

She locked on to her target as she controlled her breath, waiting for the right moment. Suddenly, the tunnel shook followed by a massive sound.

"Take it out now," Justin said with a solemn tone.

'Stay put and let me kill you.' Merab cried in her heart as the target moved its head every second.

Both sides reach a delicate balance as they stop attacking each other. They stood as if waiting for something while Justin's group was waiting for Merab to take the shot.

A five-meter-tall monster appeared at the back of the Insectoid with three eyes. The new arrival had a bear body with an antler on its head. It looked at the snake-cat Insectoid for a moment before it turned to look at Justin's group.

Hiss!

A sound came from the snake-cat monster and the bear pushed the smaller Insectoid on its path away as it rushed toward its target.

Whoosh!

Meanwhile, Merab had been waiting for an opportunity to take down her target but the brief delay in her target action gave her the room to release her arrow.

The arrow appeared in front of the snake-cat monster like a phantom and pierced its brain.

Hiss!

Mew!

It made two heart-wrenching sounds as it was sent flying toward the incoming bear. Suddenly, a blue carapace appeared around the bear.

Bang!

The snake-cat bounced off its body like it was nothing and continued. From the back, more bears with antlers appeared and followed the leading bear antler.

Immediately, all the Insectoids rushed toward Justin's group as if they were steroids. The tunnel shook continuously with various attacks coming from the Insectoid.

However, Justin's sound barrier was unbreakable. While Susan serum her ruthless killing.

"Take down the bear with antler"

Whoosh!

The golden arrow appeared in front of the bear as it tried to pierce its forehead.
