The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen

Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Oh, This Damn Translationese Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Oh, This Damn Translationese In the Swarm Network, Bai Yi felt her mind speeding up, and the outside world seemed to slow down in front of her eyes.

With this heightened thinking, she quickly reviewed the memories from earlier and swiftly summarized the current situation.

Karis, having willingly given up his soul, caused a backlash in the magic.

Now, judging by the circumstances, those residual souls gathered by Karis seemed to deeply resent him. Almost instantly, Karis’s soul was devoured.

However, afterwards, these souls seemed to fall into chaos.

*Indeed, according to the panel description, this was just a mass of residual souls gathered together, and the only one capable of unifying their power, Karis, was now gone.*

*It meant that it would be difficult for them to unify into a single consciousness, essentially rendering the monster’s intelligence nearly zero!*

*In simpler terms, hitting it could easily redirect its hostility.*

*This certainly opened up a lot of maneuvering space!*

*The simplest way, Bai Yi could rely on the swarm and the swarm of bees to harass, using speed and size advantages to create opportunities.*

The only problem now was how to seize or destroy the Bone Staff left behind by Karis, which maintained the monster’s existence.

With the vision enhancements brought by her improved Constitution, Bai Yi easily spotted the Bone Staff firmly gripped by skeletal hands.

To seize it, probably only Lina at the scene could manage it.

But if Lina went to snatch the Bone Staff, who would be responsible for distracting this monster?

*She could control the swarm to divert attention at best, but for something like the Bone Staff, which was essential to the monster’s existence, Lina being knocked away earlier was the best proof.*

*Yet if the Bone Staff were destroyed, there was the same severe problem.*

*Neither she nor Lina currently had the ability to destroy it instantly…*

*Could it really be necessary to risk attracting hostility and have Lina go for the Bone Staff?*

*In that case, Bai Yi would rather use the swarm to buy time and make a run for it herself.*

“Hint: Encounter trouble? Need help?”

“?”

Seeing this panel message appear directly within the Swarm Consciousness network, Bai Yi promptly questioned it.

*Could this Swarm Network ever be alright? It had been invaded twice just today, come on!*

Of course, shouting wasn’t something she dared to do.

After a brief surprise, Bai Yi realized who the other party was.

Bai Yi quickly recalled the intelligence she had obtained from Landon I and cautiously responded,

“Praise you, you are the immortal progenitor of the Dragon Clan, the mother spreading the brilliance of life, the great ‘Longevity’…”

“Hint: Oh! I swear, if you use that cringeworthy, foot-curling praise again, I’ll kick your ass with my new shoes!”

“Then should I…?”

“Hint: Just call me ‘Longevity.'”

Bai Yi secretly realized it was indeed the case, but clearly, this wasn’t the time to consider it. She hurriedly asked,

“May I ask what help you mean?”

“Hint: Well, since you’re working for me now, it’s only right that I offer a bit of help when you’re in trouble.”

“Hint: How about this, I can give you the ability to destroy that Bone Staff, and if you complete the task, I’ll give you an additional reward. How does that sound?”

*A reward is certainly good, but…*

Seemingly understanding Bai Yi’s hesitation, the panel message popped up again.

“Hint: Don’t worry, it’s a weapon, not from my power, and the monster won’t be able to resist it.”

“Alright, I accept!”

*At this point, Bai Yi didn’t feel she had the authority to refuse.*

“Wait, I have one more question!

Since you can bestow such power, why not directly strike down Karis?”

“Hint: This game doesn’t just involve me.”

“Longevity” didn’t directly answer Bai Yi’s question, but those words revealed a lot to her.

Withdrawing from the Swarm Consciousness and returning to her body, Bai Yi felt a bone dagger now in her hand.

“Second Life (Fourth Rank/Purple): A weapon crafted by ■■, imbued with a trace of ■■’s power, Attack Power coefficient of 2.6, Attack Power +60 extra, causes bleeding effect, ignores physical defense, and attacks drain the target’s blood to heal itself.”

“When used by Bai Yi, it can consume an additional 100 Magic Power Points to trigger the accumulated blood qi in the bone spike, releasing a Destruction Blade, causing true damage to the target equal to blood qi value *2. Current blood qi value 500/500, visible only to Bai Yi.”

“It visited?”

Lina, alert, watched the monster in the distance, guarding Bai Yi in front of her, shielding her.

“Yes, it gave me the strength to defeat this monster!”

Bai Yi got up from the ground, gripping the Bone Dagger tightly, and took a deep breath.

“I need you to help constrain it, keep it in the densely wooded areas. I will create an opportunity, and together, we will strike to kill in one blow!”

“Alright…”

Before Lina finished speaking, a roar interrupted their conversation.

The monster’s “gaze” fixated intently in this direction, and it had regained consciousness!

Without needing Bai Yi to say more, Lina had already leapt forward and clashed with the monster.

As long as Lina didn’t court death, under the effect of that “Resentment” talent, she could certainly hold on for a long time.

*”Then it’s my turn…”*

Bai Yi summoned all the swarm and swarm of bees that were on standby at the rear.

*As for Zhan Yi and the others, Bai Yi left them in the back.*

*After all, in a battle of such intensity, they were still too fragile.*

*”As if I’m incredibly strong myself…”*

Bai Yi self-deprecatingly commented, as several beetles flew over and grabbed her clothes under her control, lifting Bai Yi into the air.

*”Although I’ve thought about flying like this before, the feeling of having nothing under my feet is still a bit unsettling.”*

Adjusting slightly to the sensation of being lifted in the air, Bai Yi looked over at Lina, who was fighting.

Lina also noticed that the monster’s attacks on her seemed less powerful than expected, but she still chose not to confront it directly.

The monster continuously swung its fists, shrouded in an eerie blue glow, but Lina evaded each one.

However, Lina couldn’t find an opportunity to counterattack and was temporarily suppressed.

Within the Swarm Network, Bai Yi issued commands one by one.

The swarm officially joined the battle!

……

Lina dodged a giant swing and tried to slide past the monster’s legs.

But whenever Lina attempted to approach the Bone Staff, those chaotic souls would instantly act in unison, swinging their fists to block her.

This time was no different, as she leapt aside, narrowly avoiding a strike filled with anger.

Lina expertly rolled away, preparing to keep evading the giant’s pursuit.

To her surprise, the anticipated fist did not land.

She quickly flipped to her feet and looked up, seeing beetles and giant bees flying around the giant.

Following the direction from which the swarm came, Lina glanced at Bai Yi hovering in midair.

She saw Bai Yi nod at her.

“By the ‘Thousand Faces’…”

Lina’s face showed reverence, and she closed her eyes in silent prayer.

When she opened her eyes again, they were locked onto the monster.

A subtle curve formed at the corner of her mouth, unseen by Bai Yi.

“Come on…”
