Chapter 90 – Wasp Legion (1)
“…Uh?”
‘What? Did something happen?’
Jongsang quickly looked towards Miyamoto who would be at the nerve in the distance.
‘…Not there? Did he really die? Huk!’
‘It’s harder without the skills!’
But it was a system where all the core skills were owned and shared by Miyamoto.
‘Damnit… We might die when the situation is like this.’
Since the situation was so dangerous even Miyamoto could die.
But for a person who had been surviving for 20 years to disappear like this.
‘…Something’s amiss.’
The others didn’t know but Jongsang, who had been the longest with Miyamoto, knew about him a bit more.
Only such a dangerous situation didn’t exist and they were only on the same boat because he gave them strength but he was definitely not a good ally to have.
This was important.
Since it couldn’t be part of them so there was only 1 suspect.
Since it looked like he would die at this moment if they didn’t finish off the Ouroboros.
They just needed to burn one more nerve after this.
‘I’ll find out… After.’
Jonsang madly rushed towards the Ouroboros after finishing his thoughts.
Kududududu
Ooooong
He ran towards the head as soon as he paralyzed the movements of the Ouroboros.
But it had been a while since it had left.
Wasp Legion.
Unlike the other calamities who showed off a humongous body along with a inner defensive system, this thing had a Queen and hundreds of thousands of soldier wasps protecting it.
Since even the Ouroboros couldn’t climb up because it feared that swarm.
There weren’t any tricks that would work against the Wasp Legion’s Queen.
‘This time it’s really a face to face.’
He had to aim for the Queen while others were busy fighting off the Wasps and kill it off instantly.
The battle power of the Queen was the same as Akuma and maybe even beyond that.
‘At least this guy didn’t fall off.’
Though he had sent in the neurotoxin in order to prevent this from the start but he was scared that it would fall because the movements of it had been so vicious but thankfully such a thing didn’t happen.
‘Good.’
Baek Jongsang asked Hansoo immediately as soon as he barely caught his breath,.
Jongsang then looked into the army above in the sky.
As to what was hidden within the cloud.
The Wasps nibbled up the Branches and then brought it to the Queen.
The larvae created like this would be transferred to a nearby World Tree leaf nearby by a grown Wasp.
Of course the condensed area around the Queen and the larvae was a prohibited zone but there were always some people who were blinded by greed and ventured deep within.
These things didn’t eat the leaves because they liked it.
They were only so because they grew up from leaves but if they absorb a human’s traits then they would become a stronger Wasp.
‘…That’s even more dangerous.’
Since the Ouroboros was scary but that thing was even more so.
Since it was more befitting to call them a race if the calamities until now could be called single organisms.
Since they were the favorite snacks of the Ouroboros even though they were dangerous.
‘Wait…’
Then what would the Wasp Legion who hadn’t come down until now do?
‘It’s too quiet.’
“There’s no way those guys would act that rashly when they need to protect the Queen.”
There was no way the Wasp Legion would act rashly when they needed to protect the Queen in such a situation.
He didn’t know what tricks the clone had up his sleeves but he needed to do what he had to.
When Hansoo tried to quickly run down the World Tree in order to organize the situation below, Jongsang opened up and spoke the question that’s been stuck in his mouth after some pondering.
They were too busy because they were trying to keep themselves alive so they couldn’t pay attention to Miyamoto in the distance but Hansoo had the whole battlefield within his sight.
Hansoo shrugged his shoulders at those words.
“…”
“…”
Jongsang himself didn’t know all the functions of the Fragment of a Soul which he had received.
He might even send them a message with his life intact.
Since there was no reason for him to save Sofía if he was going to clean them all up.
Jonsang backed off after completing his thoughts.
‘…I need to talk to the other guys. Including the Six Pillars.’
Jongsang looked at Hansoo with a slight uncertainty and then followed behind him downwards.
Tekilon made a bitter expression as he saw the giant body of the Ouroboros which could be seen from between the branches.
That he would soon invade.
Since he hadn’t gained the power of the king yet.
Instead of sticking by the thing he couldn’t control, it was better to gain control of the thing that lived in the branches.
And that work wasn’t working out very well.
Tekilon looked at the giant hornet-shaped Queen in front of him.
Even more so than usual.
It was very frustrating to have his ankles caught up in such a place when he didn’t even know the status of his Race.
Tekilon thought of an event of the past while focusing on his work and sighing.
Skeletal Branches.
It wasn’t like this when the Elvenheims existed and the World Tree was normal.
The fruit of the World Tree which stimulated the growth hormone surprisingly shortened the 100 years of time it required an Elvenheim to reach adulthood to 5 years.
The population which always stayed low due to the extremely long growth period and the low fertility rate even with the Magical Engineering Technology exploded within the 100 years after the World Tree was created.
Then he needed to call his race to this side.
Since the basis of the strength of a race was their numbers in the end.
Since he had to revive it again.
At the same time he needed to kill the other races beneath.
Living together was impossible.
This is the reason why he had wiped off the Elvenheims.
And it was the same for the ones below.
‘Thinking about it. The thing I tried to completely suppress was greed.’
Which meant that he didn’t really need to completely control the Calamities.
And because of this Tekilon was not currently trying to suppress his greed of wanting to rule.
If the Ouroboros was an organism that focused on eating, this one was for breeding.
‘Good.’
Since the World Tree’s leaves were way too scarce to feed all these larvae.
‘Ouroboros. I need you to help me in a slightly different way now.’
And then got onto the Exterior which supplied the Nutritional Fluid and started to swim somewhere.
The harsh flow of the Nutritional fluid rushed towards the larvae but it was still the larvae of a Wasp Soldier.
But the larvae that were heading towards the Pillar immediately stuck onto the walls of the Exterior as a strange scent could be detected.
But it was now a dead predator.
The larvae dug out of the Exterior and then landed on the corpse of the giant snake coiled around the World Tree.
The Larvae were thrilled.
The larvae prepared to become a new existence as they ate up the meat that was filled with those genes and the nutrition.
