âOh dear god! What is that?â
Closest to the bug, Freya couldnât help but scream. As though she had springs under her feet, she
jumped away and landed in Jordanâs arms.

Martiny rolled her eyes. âHey, Iâm right here, you know?â
Freya immediately blushed. âMom⦠Uhm, itâs safer here with George,â she sheepishly added.
George,
Alex,
âOh my..! This is how my daughter treats me?!â
Luna looked at her sister, who seemed indifferent. She even laughed about this. âDaddyâs going to be
hurt this time.â
Undoubtedly, their father would be heartbroken if his two daughters were taken.
Jordan didnât know where to place his hands, but he could feel an approaching danger. It was coming
from the massive red bug.
Jordan
Alex
Whoosh!
The colossal bug opened its mouth wide and sent out a white wind blade. In reality, a thick silk thread
spurted from its mouth and aimed at Freya. The thread was so fast that it seemed like a wind blade.
Jordan moved thirty meters away in one step, barely dodging the attack.

The thread landed harshly on the ground-like a mass of spider silk, dense and thick Yet, it was far
tougher than regular spider silk. Yellow smoke rose from the ground where it had landed, reeking of a
dreadful smell.
âCareful, the gas is poisonous!â Xerxes shouted and immediately conjured up a gust of wind with his
palms, blowing the smoke away.
However, such movements triggered the red bugs. They were initially in hibernation after consuming
their fill, but now, they were waking up one after another, looking in the direction of Jordan and the
others. Then, they attacked them without any hesitation.

Alex
Chhâ¦
Suddenly, the giant bug buzzed and let out a shrill shriek. A sound like sand pouring rang within the
tunnel. Everyone became extremely anxiousâ¦
âOh, come on! Thereâs more?â
âWhat is this thing even?â
âIâm getting goosebumps. I fear hugs the most, let alone so many of them in one go!â Martiny shrieked.
Jordanâs primordial eye shone and looked down the tunnel. In the next second, he shouted, âRun,
quickly! Itâs an infestation!â
Jordan
Alex
He hugged Freya with one arm and grabbed Luna with his other. After that, he ran straight in the
opposite direction. The others naturally followed him.
Xerxes sent a wave of flames at the swarm with the Bronze Sword of the Seven Stars that formed a ten
meter firewall in the tunnel. However, it would seem that these bugs didnât fear the flames. They even
started jumping.
The group was now utterly speechless.
The bugs jumped into the flames and continued to crawl swiftly. Millions of poisonous white threads
followed behind them like shadows. Xerxes, who was last, cried out loud. Since he was running for his
life, the wind blade from his sword wasnât powerful enough, so Martiny and Claudia had to join him to
fight off the enemies in the end.
âGeorge, what did you say this was?â Xerxes shouted at Jordan while fighting the bugs.
George,
Alex,
Jordan
Alex
Jordan said, âAn infestation! Itâs a leveled version of parasitic worms. They are extremely cruel and are
being controlled by someone. If the queen is here, the owner has to be nearby. They could even be
watching us secretly in the dark, waiting for a chance to attack.â
Jordan
Alex
âF*ck! Are these things actually someoneâs pet? I knew it! The Lunula sect is definitely evil!â Xerxes
was furious. However, these worms had a great defense. Both water and fire couldnât kill them, and
they came in countless numbers. Even Martiny said they couldnât hold on any longer. It would seem
they had no choice but to come up with another solution.
Right then, George, who was carrying Luna and Freya, suddenly halted in his steps. Claudia crashed
into his back with a loud thud since she hadnât noticed Jordanâs movements.
George,
Alex,
Jordan
Alex
âGo on, why are you stopping? The bugs are right behind us,â she said quickly.
âItâs a dead-end,â Jordan said.
