One skill point per second, I turn fireballs into forbidden spells.

Chapter 111 The Mother of the Swarm, the World Tree!
Sun Dachuan's feelings were somewhat complicated.

He originally thought that since he was a grade higher than Lin Yi, his strength must be much greater than that of this junior.

In this instance, it should be him leading Lin Yi.

Unexpectedly, when he was at his wit's end, Lin Yi created such a huge momentum with a flick of his finger!

He is not a mage and knows nothing about magic.

It's not even a primary combat profession.

But you can't deny Sun Dachuan's vision.

That purple lightning sword in the sky is definitely some kind of magic of extremely high rank!

No wonder this junior has been so calm ever since they entered this instance.

So they have nuclear weapons in their hands.

"You...you...!!"

The "prophet" was trembling all over.

Thunder rumbles from the sky; great calamity is imminent.

It's rambling incoherently!

Lin Yi's eyes flashed with electricity, devoid of any emotion.

He put his right index and middle fingers together, forming a sword-finger gesture.

With the 75% spell speed-up effect of the eighth-tier [Holy Spirit Chant], this eighth-tier lightning spell did not consume too much of his chanting time.

As the invisible Holy Spirit uttered the last magical incantation.

The Purple Heaven Calamity Sword in the sky has fully taken shape!
It was a terrifying giant sword, also a thousand meters in size, with dancing purple lightning crackling around it, comparable to the blazing sun in the sky.

Lin Yi pointed his sword and uttered a few words.

"Break the Sword of Calamity!"

The enormous lightning sword, with an unstoppable and terrifying speed, suddenly cleaved down from the sky!
The moment the sword tip pierced the beehive, the entire beehive was instantly annihilated in endless lightning.

Worker insects or larvae.

They all evaporated and disappeared instantly.

Then——

boom--! !

A violent explosion was accompanied by a flurry of thunderous roars.

The Purple Cloud Calamity Sword was detonated by Lin Yi!
A shockwave composed of purple lightning began to spread outwards from the hive in all directions!

Wherever it passed, the black insect web was instantly melted away.

The swarm of insects that were just preparing to reinforce, as well as those few black scythe giant insects, were instantly pulverized upon contact with the shockwave.

Sun Dachuan squatted down, covering his head.

The earth roared, and lightning danced wildly.

He couldn't see anything.

All I know is the buzzing sound of wings that had been lingering in my ears.

All gone.

A few minutes later.

The smoke has cleared.

Sun Dachuan stood up and looked around, only to be surprised to find that...

The entire hive is located within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

There was no trace of any insects left.

This eighth-tier lightning spell blasted a vacuum zone inside the Heart of the Swarm in Ishdna!
And the black insect webs further away were also trembling violently.

Even though the aftershocks of the exploding swords didn't completely kill them, they severely injured them, rendering them unable to move.

Then, Sun Dachuan saw that the swarm of insects in the far distance did not rush towards them.

Instead, it seemed as if it had seen a nemesis or natural enemy, and retreated towards the horizon.

"Fuck..."

"Brother Lin, you're awesome..."

Sun Dachuan was truly shocked.

This scene will likely shock him for at least a year.

Lin Yi was speechless.

My thing is perfectly fine, it hasn't exploded yet!

Sun Dachuan stepped forward and gave Lin Yi a big hug, then said excitedly, "Brother, with your level of output ability, I'll protect you from now on, and you can kill the bugs."

"We two are not allowed to just run amok in this instance!"

Lin Yi almost laughed.

Lao Da and I scored 30 points together. We're really strong, aren't we?

However, Lin Yi could not deny that he had a very good impression of Sun Dachuan.

This chubby senior is very loyal; he said he'd protect him, so he would.

"You can't kill them all."

"These insects reproduce so prolifically. Big insects give birth to small insects, and small insects give birth to even smaller insects. We've only managed to eliminate a small portion of them." Lin Yi looked at the swarm of insects in the distance and shook his head.

He was very clear-headed.

Although he is currently in this instance, he should not face any life-threatening danger.

At least they have the ability to protect themselves.

However, he wanted to wipe out the entire insect swarm in Ishdna all by himself.

It's nothing more than a fool's dream.

"What should I do?"

"Are we just going to waste 10 days in this dungeon?"

Sun Dachuan was in a dilemma.

"Brother Sun, your previous approach was correct: capture the leader first."

"Even though there are many insects, there must be one that gave birth to them. Killing the queen should stop the insect swarm from expanding further."

This point was mentioned in the strategy guide.

But now the entire instance has been completely overturned.

It's completely different from the guide.

The highest-level and most difficult objective in the strategy is to kill the queen of the Black Scythe Swarm.

Lin Yi doesn't even know where the rebels of Isdna are, let alone find the Queen of Insects.

Lin Yi turned his gaze to the only black sickle worm still alive at this moment.

The "prophet" is still trembling all over.

Its gaze toward Lin Yi had changed from haughty and superior to panicked and fearful.

"Where is your queen insect?"

"Is the Insect Queen the same empress you mentioned?"

Pressed by Lin Yi, the "Prophet" suddenly stopped trembling.

It sneered and said in a hoarse voice, "You...don't even think about...harming the Queen!"

"It's too late..."

"Even if you kill us, it's too late..."

"Her Majesty has received sufficient provisions..."

"Lord Iks... is about to be reborn... You... will all die!"

After he finished speaking, the "prophet's" emaciated body began to swell.

Lin Yi's eyes narrowed.

This old man is trying to self-destruct!

If it were to self-destruct, it would actually benefit itself, and we wouldn't have obtained any information from it.

A figure flashed beside Lin Yi.

With the Soul Elegy in hand, Lin You swiftly and decisively slit the Prophet's throat with a single sword strike!

Whoosh!
The hideous, grotesque head flew into the sky.

Countless disgusting slimes gushed out from the headless corpse.

The next moment, a deep purple light flashed in Lin You's eyes.

The "prophet's" corpse, which had been twitching on the ground, miraculously stood up again.

The severed head was reassembled.

Finally, the "prophet" opened his eyes again.

This time, however, it was no longer a wise creature among the black sickle swarm, but a slave under Lin Yi's command.

Sun Dachuan was completely stunned.

Lin Yi's decisiveness, coupled with the necromancy system's unique underworld tactics, made him swallow hard.

Holy crap, this junior student!
However, the next moment, when he saw Lin You's appearance, he was even more shocked.

"Ahem... Brother Lin, this is... your wife?"

Sun Dachuan made this statement.

Lin You's face, hidden beneath the mask, instantly flushed crimson.

Lin Yi was taken aback, then explained, "No, well... how should I put it, I'd say we're partners."

After offering an explanation, Lin Yi stopped chatting with Sun Dachuan.

He has important things to do.

Since it was impossible to extract any information about the Queen of Insects from the living prophet.

Then let's just search their souls!

Without Lin Yi giving a verbal order, Lin You stretched out her delicate hand and placed it on the prophet's head, her deep purple light intensifying.

In Lin Yi's mind, which was completely in sync with Lin You's, a scene slowly appeared—

It was an enormous tree, its trunk oozing black, putrid pus.

The giant tree reaches straight up to the sky, making it impossible to see the height of its top.

This is none other than the World Tree, mentioned many times in countless myths!
