Bang!

The arrow bounced off when it collided with a strong carapace, sending a powerful shortwave to the surroundings.

Howl!

Seeing this, the bear growled in annoyance as it increased its speed, crushing everything on its path.

Justin rushed forward to meet the incoming bear while his voice trailed behind.historical

"Be careful of the spikes and try to avoid being swarmed by them."

Bang!

Justin rings the bear and it tumbles back. The bear carapace had a massive dent on the head. It shook its head trying to regain its bearing. However, Justin didn't give it a chance to recover when another powerful attack hit its body.

Crash!

The bear crashed into the incoming bears and its carapace shattered into pieces. A ghastly injury appeared on its chest as blood gushed out.

Howl!

All the bears cried in annoyance. A silver light appeared around the bears as they rushed toward Justin.

While the battle at the back had taken another turn. couldn't push the Insectoid back as she could only focus on one point while the other group took another side.

Merab stood at the back of the group as she rendered support now and then.

Bang!

A bear receives Justin's powerful attack without taking a step back as the silver light shines brightly. It growled as it showed its sharp long teeth. The other bear with antler appears beside the leading bear as they snare before they attack him.

Though Justin was surrounded by Insectoids, none of them attack as they focus their attack on Susan and others.

Seeing the group of antler bears, his three golden circles appeared on his head and he muttered.

"Sound Annihilation"

His ring moves swiftly as they produce a golden arc before colliding with the antler bears.

Boom!

The powerful attack of a third circle existence wasn't something an ordinary Insectoid could withstand.

Everything in the range of attack was turned smithereens. The tunnel shook and a powerful vibration spread throughout the tunnel and to the surface.

On the surface, an ocean of Insectoids swarms everywhere. They destroyed everything as some were busy digging a big hole into the crust of the earth.

Up in the sky, various aerial beasts swarm back and forth. The extreme rain of ice didn't have any effect on them at all.

But when they noticed the powerful shortwave that came from the underground. A 5-meter tall centipede with a length of 12 meters made a strange sound as every Insectoids in the surrounding area froze on their spots.

The giant centipede moved its multiple legs slowly but its speed wasn't any slower.

It appeared at the top of the vibration and swung one of its legs.

Boom!

Its leg hit the solid ground and it turned to butter under its attack. The ground turned into rubles as a deep tunnel appeared.

The two big eyes of the centipede twitched as it saw the dead bodies of its followers.

It turned its head to another location and looked at another Insectoid. It made a strange sound and a massive ant walked toward the centipede.

Though the ant was as massive as the giant centipede. Its height and length elude the other Insectoid in the surroundings.

The two massive Insectoids made a strange sound to one another and the massive centipede sent the ant flying with one of its legs.

Kree!

The ant's deafening sound echoed throughout the environment as the piercer cry made the other Insectoid shiver.

The ant rolled it back and got on its feet. It looked at the giant centipede for a moment before it turned and left. Albeit its direction was toward the hole leading to the tunnel where various Insectoids were pouring inside.

The ant gave a cry and those Insectoids rushing inside the tunnel halted and retreated. It gave another cry and a group of massive insect-like termites came from behind. Two long antennae swing back and forth on their heads.

The huge termites rushed into the hole however the hole couldn't contain their massive body. But a swing from their leg paved the way for them.

The termite rushed into the holes as sharp legs destroyed everything on their path.

Meanwhile, Justin was experiencing something magical. A golden rune appeared on his forehead and his green hazel eyes flickered with the same rune on his forehead.

The heavenly blessing pierced the sky and fell directly on Justin's head. The deadly cold disappointed into thin air while the Insectoid was turned into smithereens.

At the back, everyone stopped their fight and fixed their gaze on him. They held their breath as they forgot to blink.

Susan bit the corner of her eyes as various thoughts ran through her mind. 'Why is everything about him not following the conventional method?' She cried in her heart.

Meanwhile, Justin was busy directing the information that appeared in front of him.

'What doesn't mean I need to prove myself worthy.' With that thought, his conciseness was pulled into a trance.

He appeared on a plane filled with bones and a river of blood. The sky was covered in fire while the air reeked of sulfur.

"Why am I here again?" he muttered in panic.

The millions of bones and an endless river of blood made his skull scalped and his breath quickened.

"Find Eden" An emotionless voice whispered directly into his ear.

"E-den" he stuttered as he took a step back.

The sudden voice frightened him. But a loud crash of a skull made him jump. He looked down and noticed he was walking on a mountain of skulls.

"I don't like this place. I don't like it all." He muttered with a trembling tooth.

"Find Eden," The voice said once again.

Justin inhaled and exhaled deeply as he tried to calm his racing heart. After a couple of seconds, he managed to ask the bungling question in his heart.

"Why should I find Eden?"

"Last Hope"

"What do you mean?"

"Your survival lay in there.. Time is ticking.. running out"

Justin's chest was moving up and down. He didn't know why this strange voice was telling him all this. But deep within his soul. He knew what this voice was telling was the truth.

"Where can I find this Eden?" He asked quickly.

"Find it"

"I don't —" His voice was interrupted as he was sent out into the strange world.

Swiss!

A sudden wind blew on his face as he opened his eyes slowly. Unknown to him, his back was drenched in cold sweats.

"Eden" He muttered in a daze.

"Are you ok?" Susan asked as she raised her voice.

Justin raised his brow and he looked deep into her deep purple eyes. He exhaled slowly and said.

"I'm fine." He looked at the face of the people around and saw their puzzlement but chose to ignore it.

Boom! Boom!

A powerful shortwave came from the distance accompanied by a powerful attack.

___Blood Sucking Ants.___

Tier: 4

____

Though the Blood Sucking ants haven't arrived. Justin saw their stats and creased his brow as his blood boiled slightly. However, when he looked at the faces of the people around him. Their faces were pale and some puked out a lot of blood.

"W-What type of attack is that?" Susan asked with a trembling as she licked the blood at the corner of her lips.

"You don't need to know," Justin said with a solemn voice.

"Let's retreat." He commanded.

Immediately, Justin led the group deep into the tunnel. Just as they left their previous location, the blood-sucking ant appeared on the location and sniffed the blood on the ground.

They made some strange sounds to each other before they moved their massive bodies toward Justin and his group direction.

'Are you ok? I'm sorry I couldn't join you in the battle.' Kira's voice echoed in Susan and Justin's heads.

Susan and Justin looked at each but didn't utter a word. Justin responded with a calm voice.

'How's your injury?'

'Good. In a couple of hours, I should be on my feet.' She replied in elation.

'Take your time and rest. We are already coming back.'

'That's good to hear. The people are getting scared of not seeing the powerful men among them. While Nasir shenanigans have no end.' She chuckled.

'I expect nothing less.'

'Yeah.. Only such a person can handle these insane people.' She giggled.
