LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 732: Chapter 695 Infinite and Endless

With Dusa’s help, the first few mantis demons that crawled up from the deep pit hadn’t made it to the dissolving cave when they were shot down, but just as everyone had begun to breathe a sigh of relief, an even more serious situation emerged.

The mantis demons that were shot down were just the beginning; after the first few were taken out, more of them climbed up, and what’s more, along with another batch of mantis demons, there were also beetles that Rocky and his team had encountered before!

Compared to the mantis demons, which were over three meters tall, the beetles seemed much smaller. However, their smaller size made them even more agile.

This was troublesome because although the mantis demons seemed more frightening, they weren’t as big a threat due to their limited numbers and the very slow pace at which they climbed from the deep pit. They could only support their bodies with their large front limbs and move up bit by bit. So, as long as Dusa was there, it was almost impossible for the mantis demons to reach the top, and even if one or two slipped through, Rocky and his team were more than capable of handling them.

But the beetles’ arrival changed things.

First off, there were more beetles, and unlike the mantis demons, they seemed to be naturally capable of climbing cliffs. So when Rocky saw these beetles, it was like seeing a swarm of giant cockroaches approaching en masse. They were numerous and fast. Even for Rocky, who was used to seeing thousands of demons charging together, the sight of these beetles made his scalp tingle.

“Dusa, don’t worry about the beetles, aim for the big guys!”

“Got it!”

Noticing the overwhelming number of beetles, Rocky knew they couldn’t rely solely on Dusa to hold them off, so he decisively told her to just focus on the mantis demons, while he, Liliya, and He Nan would deal with the beetles.

This decision was undoubtedly correct, as although there were many beetles, their defensive power wasn’t as strong as the mantis demons’. Magic energy bullets might not kill them instantly, but they were enough to knock them off the walls.

So, after that, the three of them opened fire together, unleashing a series of magic energy bullets into the mass of beetles, blasting them off in swathes. To stop the beetles from getting close as quickly as possible, Rocky and Liliya soon employed magic energy beams and even magic energy cannons. Operating their armors, they fired relentlessly at the cliffs of the deep pit in a full barrage.

The White Demon Armor and the Red Flame Goddess Armor were among the most top-notch armors of the day, not only centered on runes but also equipped with numerous cutting-edge technologies. So as Rocky and Liliya fired with all their might, the walls of the deep pit were instantly bombarded, with the beetles blown away in swathes and even the massive mantis demons being blasted off the cliffs.

For Dusa, this scene was nothing new; she had witnessed the power of the White Demon and the Red Flame Goddess countless times. But for He Nan, a beastman who lived on land and had some understanding of the sky—even having heard of Rocky—it was unbelievable. After all, he had very limited knowledge and had never known that the current Void Magic Armor was this powerful.

However, even as Rocky, Liliya, and Dusa unleashed their powers simultaneously, the number of beetles was simply too great. More importantly, the speed at which these beetles climbed upward was also too fast, so that as soon as they had knocked down a large swath of beetles, even more would climb up the cliffs of the deep pit.

Under these circumstances, it was only a matter of minutes before some beetles approached the ground of the dissolving cave and immediately opened their mouths to spray green slime at Rocky and his team!

“Take off!”

The green slime sprayed by the beetles was something Rocky had experienced before. Its corrosiveness was extremely strong, easily turning a Beastman Warrior without armor into a pile of white bones. Although it might not necessarily corrode Armor, especially the White Demon Armor, which is forged from top materials, one must not forget the number of beetles crawling out of the pit at this moment.

At this very moment, the number of beetles emerging from the pit was beyond counting. Dozens that were close to the ground simultaneously sprayed their green slime. If all that slime fell on them, it was feared the White Demon Armor wouldn’t hold up. Therefore, Rocky had no choice but to stop blocking the beetles from getting close and immediately ordered everyone to take flight, and in an instant, all four of them were in the air.

Thankfully, the Dissolving Cave’s space was large enough, with ample room for them to fly, which allowed them to dodge the calamity.

However, in that brief moment when they took off, due to the interruption of gunfire, and as a large number of beetles had already approached the Dissolving Cave, just as Rocky and company had ascended, another several dozen to hundred beetles crawled out of the pit!

This was bad.

As the first beetle reached the floor of the Dissolving Cave, countless more beetles swarmed up the steep walls of the pit, like a dam burst, flooding the surface of the cave.

“Hiss! Hiss!”

A massive swarm of beetles reaching the surface immediately directed a piercing noise toward Rocky and the others in midair, and then, together, they opened their mouths to spray countless streams of green slime at them!

Such a scene startled everyone. Whether it was Rocky, Liliya, Dusa, or He Nan, everyone instinctively climbed higher.

Again, it was lucky the height of the Dissolving Cave was sufficient, otherwise this barrage would have been enough to bring Rocky and his team down!

“Attack!”

And facing such a multitude of beetles, escaping was basically impossible for Rocky and his team. Therefore, after dodging the beetles’ sprayed green slime, they began to counterattack immediately.

At that moment, Magic Energy Bullets, Magic Energy Arrows, Magic Energy Cannons, Magic Energy Beams—all kinds of attacks—were unleashed without mercy, smashing into the insides of the Dissolving Cave, and under such ferocious assaults, the beetles were unsurprisingly blown to pieces en masse.

Undoubtedly, while the beetles’ shells could withstand regular attacks, they stood no chance against Magic Energy Attacks, especially powerful ones like the Magic Energy Cannon or Magic Energy Beam. Just one shot from a Magic Energy Cannon was enough to kill several beetles. Yet even so, the more Rocky and the others attacked, the more furrowed their brows became.

Although their attacks killed many beetles, the rate of elimination was far slower than the rate at which new ones were appearing. As they targeted the beetles on the ground, an endless stream continued to pour out of the pit. What’s more, as Rocky and his team were unable to hold the pit, aside from the beetles, the Mantis Demons also began to climb out!
