âWhat? A dead end?â Claudia turned to look. Their road wasnât blocked, but another truck size bug was
coming from there. Around it was countless smaller bugs.
âSh*t, weâre surrounded. What do we do?â Freya asked in a trembling voice.
Luna pulled her sister down. âDonât act dead. Come fight the bugs with us. Youâre a descendant of
Exorcist Dragons, and youâre scared of bugs? Thatâs bringing shame to our clan.â
Morten said, âAttack them! You guys follow me!â
Morten
Alex
Thump!
The Requiem Clock appeared, and waves of holy energy rippled as the clock levitated over Morten. A
golden barrier of divine energy then covered everyone. Mortenâs left hand held the sheath while his
right held a sword gourd. Hundreds of wind blades and light crossed one another, forming a tightly
knitted blade web, rotating into the sea of bugs like a blender.

âIâll help!â Luna kept away her whip and took out the Sky-Devil Zither.
Tring! Tring!
The sound of the zither was deadly, and the sound waves were able to trigger an explosion.
Freyaâs powers had significantly improved too. Her mother, Martiny, had brought her to the Dragon
Palace once, a hidden place where Exorcist Dragons trained and refined their powers. Freyaâs attacks
were similar to spells, and the wind was her forte. Thanks to her strong and powerful skill sets, she was
a big help.
Freya gathered the whole infestation into a tornado, so Morten and Luna could easily attack the entire
thing.
Morten
Alex
Boom!
Morten brought all his swords together and made them one, killing one of the queen insects with one
attack. From its mouth, poisonous thread spewed out like a fountain. Toxic yellow liquid oozed out from
its body. The venom was so potent that even the tinier bugs couldnât stand it. As they came into contact
with the raucous liquid, the bugs melted into an ivory solution, which also happened to be poisonous.

With that, the venom flowed towards them like a river stream. Poisonous yellow smoke appeared
wherever it passed.
âDragon God Edict, let the wind blow, the God of Winds!â
Whoosh!
Freya blew the poisonous smoke away with her wind spell. However, the venom was still flowing
onwards.
Just then, Xerxes shouted, âQuick, get into the boat.â
He conjured out the golden bamboo boat that levitated midair. It was an ancient holy boat that had
various functions only its owner would know. Presently, it had formed a barrier that could block out the
poisonous smoke.
âCharge!â
Xerxes sped the boat through the poisonous space, but the sea of bugs continued chasing behind
them. To make matters worse, a shady voice could also be heard. âHmph! You want to leave after
killing Lunula sect members? How could we maintain our place in the universe if we just let you walk
away?â
Morten and the others turned their heads to find two women standing behind them.

Their attire was similar to the man before, but their faces gave off an uncomfortable vibe. Pockmarked
and scarred, the skin looked as though it had been corroded several times by sulfuric acid. Their flesh
was shaped irregularly, where colored pieces were scattered all over their faces.
âArgh! These two look so scary!â Freya couldnât help but scream.
The others shuddered as well. After laying their eyes on them, one would naturally be scared,
especially the prettier ladies. Seeing such faces made them think of themselves. If something like that
were to happen to their beautiful faces, they would rather die.
Morten exclaimed, âItâs the human locusts!â
Morten
Alex
As they spoke, the two women took out a bag each and opened them, releasing two golden, rather
poisonous bugs.
âGo! Kill them!â
