Novel Full 1347 Eight Months Passed
As the locusts brought me such delight, then why wouldn’t the Silences do the same?
I jumped over to the next zone and then to the outer layer there. I scattered out my warriors, left the locusts to gather around them the same way that happened before.
Yet this time I didn’t wait here, and jumped to another zone, and then another. I kept doing this for ten more zones before finally returning to the first one again.
I decided to attack ten and not nine as Lily was needed to stay here as the general leader. So I had to clear ten more zones to obtain ten more generals aside from Lily.
After I finished doing this, at least two weeks passed from the moment I scattered warriors at the first zone. During this time, the entire shielded layers out there became buried under endless locusts, and I couldn’t even see a single speck of my shields from these locusts.
The locusts seemed to level up the ground, cover up my shields entirely, and make them look like they got buried down.
The situation looked quite serious indeed, but I knew my warriors weren’t at any risk thanks to my shields.
“Time to clear up this zone,” I didn’t hesitate to activate my offensive skill, releasing a terrifying wave of energy that spanned everywhere.
I saw blinding silver light coming out from my shields, merging together to turn slightly golden before slamming heavily and fiercely crashing down the portals at the edge of the zone.
At the same time, the wave expanded inwards, killing and sweeping clean all the enemies deep into this zone.
I didn’t wait too long there, and jumped to another zone and did the same. The last zones I created shields there showed a much weaker attack than the first zones’ attacks.
But it was enough to crush down all the portals and kill tons of locusts.
“Time to gather up my loot!” After waiting for a few more days, the attacks in all zones stopped. The number of killed locusts was just too much to count, making me feel more excited about this.
I spent the next months collecting bones. Most of the time spent was to travel across the vast space of each zone. As for collecting bones, my turbo mode was overbearing enough to collect bones from a grand area without the need for me to personally move.
I tried to check and see if I could get anything from their inventory. Yet to my disappointment, it seemed such races didn’t have any inventory at all.
“Perhaps they got no inventory out there, so the system couldn’t get me anything out of them,” I muttered after trying for many times and failing.
If they didn’t have inventories like us, then how could they carry their belongings with them? I looked around and couldn’t find any portable bags or storage devices of any sort on them.
They got no bags, no sacs, or even deep pockets! In fact, they got no clothes or gear whatsoever.
“Perhaps they are considered low ranked soldiers in their race or something,” I couldn’t tell if this was the case, or that race just hated bringing their own stuff with them.
Anyway, I held higher hopes to find something valuable to the Silence race members when I’d meet up with them.
During these months, I kept checking over the situation all over the other zones from time to time. As I expected, the number of enemy forces there showed a remarkable increase.
I went personally to check things out there, and I found the number of enemies increased. If the locusts before were like a flood, these locusts in the remaining nine zones looked like grand tsunami waves, rushing to the deeper parts of the zones in successive wave motions.
When I went to the outer layers and checked things there, I was surprised to see the number of portals out there had increased tremendously.
If before the portals scattered around the outer layer with gaps of tens of miles in between them, then right now these portals were closely packed, and there were even many places where there were no gaps at all.
At many points, these portals crumbled together to form clusters.
“So each world of theirs has a single chance to open portals at one of my zones…” I started to get a better understanding of the rules limiting my enemies.
They weren’t that limited actually. I thought they had to send forces first to other worlds before sending them here. But it turned out they could open new portals at other zones. And that was what brought such fierce waves of new locusts to the nine zones.
After checking over the current situation of the shielded areas with warriors out there, I saw no different image than the one I saw before releasing the deadly attacks at the other eleven zones.
The entire shields got buried underneath seemingly endless locusts. And even so, more locusts kept trying to bypass their comrades, trying everything to reach the shields down below.
“I hope this will buy them enough time,” I activated the offensive attacks of my shields at the nine zones, killing tons of these locusts before returning to the ten other zones and resumed collecting bones.
I knew that releasing such an attack wasn’t enough to reach the outer layers and destroy the portals. So from time to time, I went back to these nine zones, and activated the attacks again to relieve the pressure.
Even if my forces out there were still secured with my shields, and they kept killing enemies as hard and fast as they could, they couldn’t match the speed of new enemies coming at them.
And after waves and waves of these locusts getting killed, I finally gave them the permission to go outside and move the dead bodies away after I collected bones from them.
Doing such a thing took me slightly longer than I expected. After eight months of jumping around and collecting bones, I finally managed to collect all the dark realm bones from the eleven worlds.
