Chapter 96: Chapter 43: Fierce Sword Firefly! The Faint Blue Ghost Lamp in the Night!

At dusk, bluish ghost fires floated upward like countless lanterns, casting a glowing blue light on Lantern Firefly, oh no, now called Fierce Sword Firefly.

The ghostly light of the ghost lamp cast a bluish hue on the Fierce Sword Firefly’s body.

After its evolution, Lantern Firefly had grown to half human height, and although it hadn’t grown as large as Thunder Night Dragon due to the generally small stature of the insect-type Demon Beasts, it had surpassed the Clover Mantis.

The lantern previously held in its right hand had disappeared, replaced by a red sword, and not just one, but two, one in each hand.

Moreover, unlike the Stabbing Sword before evolution, which resembled a needle stab, the swords of Fierce Sword Firefly now looked like normal Knight Swords.

Additionally, the True Red Thorn of Lantern Firefly was entirely composed of Fire Attribute energy with no physical form, but the swords of Fierce Sword Firefly actually had a physical form, merged with its hands, forming one whole entity, existing even without activating skills.

The shape was cooler and more dashing than before, like a stern swordsman who would burst into action in the next second and thrust the sword before you.

Not only that, although Fierce Sword Firefly no longer had a lantern, it retained the light.

At the wrist where each hand connected to the sword, there was a circle of bright red flames.

This ring of firefly-light, each cluster of flames no larger than a marble, hung in the air, revolving around Fierce Sword Firefly’s wrists, burning quietly.

Cool!

Truly imposing!

Char sincerely exclaimed.

“Lantern Firefly, since you have evolved, the old name no longer suits you. From now on, your name will be Fierce Sword Firefly, how do you feel about that?” Char said.

He mainly said this for Freyja’s benefit since he had an interface panel while Freyja did not, and suddenly changing the Lantern Firefly’s name required some explanation.

Fierce Sword Firefly was also surprised by the astonishing changes to its own body and was inspecting itself when it heard Char’s words; it immediately nodded to Char in response.

“Then show us your abilities, Fierce Sword Firefly,” Char said, picking an opponent for Fierce Sword Firefly, and upon seeing the eager Thunder Night Dragon, “Let him be your opponent, Thunder Night Dragon.”

“Be careful, don’t get hurt.”

“The Secret Realm space is too small, let’s go outside.”

Under Auson’s control, the Secret Realm opened, and the group filed out.

Not only Star Worm, Clover Mantis, Freyja, and Floral Blue Leopard but even Night Helmeted Owl silently followed out of the secret realm, perching on a tree branch, ready to witness the battle.

All beings inside the “Castle” except for the three Wind Winged Horses came out, showing great curiosity about the evolved strength of Lantern Firefly.

However, after leaving the Secret Realm, Fierce Sword Firefly and Thunder Night Dragon didn’t start fighting immediately because everyone’s attention was drawn to the Ghost Lamp Green Vine’s released ghost fires.

At this moment, the vine wall formed by Ghost Lamp Green Vine lost its brightness, all the ghost fires had risen into the air, and there was no trace of ghost fire between the vines anymore.

After rising, the ghost fires moved as if they had a destination, quickly floating towards the direction of the Land of Undead.

“Betty, Auson, you stay here.”

Seeing this, Char mounted the Frost Crystal White Deer, shouted back to Betty and Auson, and then followed the floating ghost fires.

Freyja rode on the Floral Blue Leopard, closely following, while Thunder Night Dragon and Fierce Sword Firefly of course immediately kept up—Char’s safety was paramount, as the strongest battle forces, they had to stay close to Char at all times.

Star Worm hesitated slightly; it wanted to follow Char but was also concerned about leaving Betty and Auson behind.

Although Char was number one in its heart, it was also fond of Betty and Auson, and especially since it had become stronger, it felt more responsible for protecting its weaker companions.

Just then, Clover Mantis gestured to Star Worm, indicating that it would stay with Betty and the others, quieting Star Worm’s concerns.

So, Star Worm happily chirped a few times and chased after Char.

A deer and a leopard nimbly ran through the forest.

Above the forest, a dragon and a firefly flew low, closely guarding.

Star Worm closely followed behind, like a shooting star, leaving a trail of starlight.

In the night sky, the “ghost lamps” floating in the air drifted with the wind, seeming leisurely, but moving at a not-so-slow speed, soon reaching the edge of the Land of Undead.

Then they quickly descended, some landing on trees, some on bushes, but many more on the ground.

The Frost Crystal White Deer came to a sudden stop, and Char, riding on the deer’s back, followed the descending ghost fires with his eyes to the ground.

Over the past few days, he had been continuously clearing up this part of the Land of Death near the Garden Secret Realm, and by now, it was virtually free of Undead, except for the occasional lone wanderer from other areas.

However, the influence of the Power of Death on the land and forest remained, the soil still showing an ominous black color, filled with the scent of death and decay.

The impact of the Power of Death on the forest and nature wasn’t so easily removed.

Even if all the Undead in this area of the Land of Death were eliminated and the sources diffusing the Power of Death were cleared, without the intervention of a third party, relying solely on the forest’s own healing ability, it would take many years to recover from the damage caused.
