Chapter 391: Trouble After The Rain
Python [Druid’s Summon] (Pseudo -> Low 3-Star) – Super Bloodline
The snake was of considerable size, its body stretching more than 15 meters long with a proportionate width. The greenish scales shimmered with mana that made it look menacing in the forest canopy.
Leo watched as the snake crawled forward at a blinding speed toward an approaching worm, killed it in a single bite, then proceeded to swallow the body whole.
“Looks like we got a dump for the disgusting worms…” Leo muttered.
He allowed the snake to remain as the leading attacker and tanker, while the other fighting members followed behind it.
Since the other elves were using vines to redirect the worms toward a single location, the battle quickly became concentrated in a single location.
Twip!
Virat released an arrow tied with a rope from the sturdy, small crossbow mounted along his arm. The arrow latched onto a tree branch.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Shots rang out in rapid succession as they struck a Low 2-star worm’s body.
gllk–!
The worm recoiled, slimy fluid spilling from the punctured holes. But before it could recover, Virat suddenly appeared in front of it—swinging along the rope—and slashed across its body with his dagger.
tchiii—!
Without pause, he pulled out a large crossbow from the spatial ring Leo had given him and aimed straight at the worm’s head.
plrkk!
A wet, piercing sound echoed as the bolt shot into the worm’s circular maw, killing it on the spot. Virat didn’t rest for even a moment—he ran forward, retrieved the fired bolt and rope, then moved toward his next target. He killed a Low 2-star beast effortlessly, even when his being radiated the strength of Peak 1-star.
Leo nodded at the sight.
Virat was fearless, taking on a beast nearly triple his size. More importantly, he was crafty—making full use of everything in his arsenal without hesitation. The spatial ring Leo had given him proved its worth, making Virat far more versatile.
Leo had already told the territory members that any beast they killed would belong to them. He would personally ensure any disputes were resolved. Because of that, Virat and the others weren’t in a rush to extract beast cores and mana crystals—it could all be done after the battle.
But the next moment, Virat tapped his academy badge against the corpse and transported it back to Aurelius Hall.
“Oh right, we can do that too…” Leo muttered. Since Virat wasn’t a beast master, he had no reason to preserve beast cores—he could directly sell everything or selectively as he kept the mana crystal back into his spatial ring.
At that moment, Naelith reached out through the mind link.
“Lord, this Virat guy has the potential to grow strong in the future. It’s safe to invest in him.”
Leo nodded. Since Naelith had more experience in such matters, she had been tasked with assessing the capabilities of the territory members.
Then she spoke again.
“Lord, these three girls’ fighting styles are very similar to ours. If you allow it, we can incorporate them into our formations. It would help them display their skills more effectively.”
Leo turned his gaze toward the three blue-haired girls. They fired varied element-infused arrows while leaping from branch to branch, fluidly dodging the worms.
At some point, Kaelion had appeared beside him, observing the same scene. Even without hearing Naelith’s suggestion, he spoke.
“These three girls fight very similarly to the elves. I’d say let them join their ranks.”
Leo thought for a moment.
Similar, hmm.
He didn’t dwell on it much, assuming it was a coincidence—but he still refused.
“The elves reside on top of the plateau. They even make their plans there. I’m not allowing these girls to climb up anytime soon, so no.”
Naelith immediately agreed. Even though she had suggested it, she wasn’t keen on adding new members either. Training newcomers was a hassle.
Leo scanned the battlefield again. By now, countless worms had flooded the area.
Slitmaw Ambusher (Low 2-star) – Ordinary Bloodline
It was a flat-headed worm whose maw blended perfectly with the mud. But that also made it an easier target. Arrows struck its widened surface, and a coordinated attack from 4 elves killed it instantly before they shifted to another target.
“Ahh!”
A sharp cry rang out as Leo spotted an elf rolling across the muddy ground to evade a peculiar worm.
The creature coiled tightly, then launched forward. Its grotesque, 3-meter-wide body alone was enough to terrify.
Puddlecoil Sprinter (Mid 2-star) – Ordinary Bloodline
Nearby elves rushed to assist her, quickly washing away the mud with water magic so her movement wouldn’t be hindered.
There were even worms that had mutated after absorbing the king beast’s lightning essence.
Mirecoil Burrower (Mid 2-star) – Mortal Bloodline (Lightning Variant)
Faint lightning sparks crackled across its body. It fired a streak of electricity toward Virat, but he effortlessly dodged before pulling out his Desert Eagles and drilling multiple holes into it.
*pic*
But the Python remained the biggest heavy hitter—killing and devouring worms in a single bite or lunge. The worms instinctively tried to flee, but its speed was overwhelming. Combined with its greenish texture, it blended seamlessly with the surroundings.
*pic*
The entire skirmish was chaotic and messy. Both Leo and Kaelion inwardly grimaced—the revolting appearance of the worms only made it worse.
Ugh… these should be marked as NSFW. Leo joked inwardly.
As he observed the battlefield, a signal suddenly came from Howl.
“What? Some worms have dug deeper and latched onto your body?”
Leo immediately looked at Kaelion, and the two sprinted toward the location Howl indicated.
Using earth manipulation, Leo swiftly carved open the ground—and the creatures were revealed face-to-face.
They were pale, semi-transparent worms with visible fluid channels running through their bodies. The fluid glowed faintly blue, likely influenced by the king beast’s essence. An another ulgy being.
Rainthread Leechworm (Peak 1-star) – Ordinary Bloodline
*pic*
Leo and Kaelion split up to deal with them. Leo relayed their positions mentally as Howl replayed the locations.
While they were still dealing with the leeches, one of the boss beasts suddenly emerged among the swarm.
Gllurk–BOOM!
