Oh, I gained nine whole levels out of the blue! We have indeed exterminated hundreds, but holy shit. Not only that, thanks to my new Skills such as Monster Exterminator, and the other Title Skills, I earn double the amount of EXP than before, so those 57 million should had only been around a bit over 28 million?
This results in that I am only a single level off being able to Evolve… Alright, I am all pumped up now, I guess I should really get that Queen or whatever down so I can get as much EXP as I can and Level Up. There is still a few other buggers around, but not near as enough for the whopping 4 more million EXP I need to level up to Level 60, the boss should be able to help in that regard, hopefully.
“There’s a big hall in there!” Ariant pointed at the end of the caves I was rushing through. I had been using my special divine senses to guide myself across this deadly cave, finally finding the one where the boss was, and where the powerful presence I sensed from before was located.
“I can tell! Let’s go.” I said with a smile, breaking into the hall, and finding countless of corpses from the monsters Silva had summoned lying all over the floor, torn all to shreds! Silva was currently anchored into the outside of the mountain as a Dungeon Gate, so she can’t come here and bring more monsters to help, we are alone in here for the time being.
“The monsters are all gone?” Asked Black in surprise.
“Master, look!” White said.
“That’s… a woman?” Wondered Aquamarine.
While the egos spoke, Fiere and the twins remained in silence looking at the scene behind me, I quickly directed my eyes at the one I was confronting, a bug-like woman. She resembled a pretty hot woman, tall as they can come, probably four or five meters tall, covered from head to toe into black exoskeleton. Large claws, six arms, four legs, a long and fat bug-like abdomen. Her face had a mildly humanoid shape, encompassed by insect exoskeleton forming some sort of bug-shaped helmet, with big eyes at each side, and antenna with black horns, of course.
“So just like my Master has said, you’ve come.” She said, sharply glaring at us.
“You’re the one behind the swarm of bugs? Yeah, I found it weird that they were being so overly insistent.” I said. “And master? Let me guess, funny guy, blue skin? Can use Miasma?”
“He told me to not to speak about such things, but yes. My Master is the one that brought me power. Some days ago I used to be merely the Queen of this small swarm, no bigger than two hundred strong. He blessed me with his miasma, and I’ve managed to awaken my powers beyond what you could understand! Now I stand at the same side as those powerful Desert Kings in terms of pure raw power… I’ve evolved and taken upon a more perfected form!” She laughed, her Aura quickly began to spread out, growing larger and monstrous.
It seems the Genie must have found the Queen of these bugs before they had become so enormous and as lethal as now. This is probably why Brunhild remembered them being less annoying and weaker too. Their stats probably got boosted after their Queen evolved through the Genie’s Miasma.
I wonder if the bastard has also taken over more local monsters… perhaps even the Wyverns might be into this too, there are big families of them all over the mountains.
“You were a bug that the Genie modified?” Asked Fiere.
“Why yes… Your little toys here… they were of no problem for me. Not even a sweat. I was able to easily destroy them with my bare hands, without even using magic! Those slimy creatures were the hardiest, but popping them like a bloody organ was no problem… Though none of them were palatable. You know? To lay the eggs I lay every day, I require great sustenance. I’ve been gathering troops to invade that one giant’s village. They all look so meaty and nutritious! Devouring their flesh must be a delight!” The Miasmic Beetle Queen spoke, provoking everybody.
“You bitch!” Ariant roared angrily. “Don’t you dare attack the Giant’s Village! They’ve had enough with the Undead army coming to them already!” Ariant said.
“I was already on my way when you bastards got in my path. I will now destroy you and get done with this. Devouring your flesh will surely prove to bring nutrition. I wonder if I could bear powerful children after delighting myself with your lowly existences! I’ve finally ascended and become something greater after all! You have no chance to stand before my path. Hell, I’ve even attained a Blessing of these mountains itself!” She laughed, as a blue jewel in the middle of her chest, incrusted into her exoskeleton, shone brightly, emanating a cosmic essence that melded with her Chaotic, Miasmic Aura…
