Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

Chapter 744 - 493: Gunner’s Luck E, It’s Tradition

I want to strike!But Dal was not Miyamoto Musashi. He suppressed his urge to fight, carefully observing the opponent. The oppressive feeling the Insect King gave him far exceeded what he had felt when encountering the Demon Clan’s army captain, Doslepo, in Val City. This powerful aura was directly comparable to the Heavenly King of the Demon Clan, and it was still rising!

"...." Dal was silent for a moment, his expression gradually changed from serious to resembling the Great Power King; mainly because...

Come to think of it, maybe the Insect King isn’t that strong after all?

On the way here, he had imagined the real strength of various enemy leaders and prepared countless response plans, from the best to the worst. But to his surprise, the actual situation allowed him to use the one fitting the average, ordinary plan.

Which is regular combat.

Strength is determined by comparison objects. Unfortunately, the ones Dal used to compare with the Insect King were the monsters from the Sain Dungeon.

He compared various leaders with the Insect King, sliding down from the Nameless King until finally categorizing the Insect King with the Death Ritual Bird, which, although a bit formidable, was not a very popular leader in the Sain Dungeon, mainly due to its low popularity. Nonetheless, its strength was still notable.

Dal didn’t dare say he could defeat the opponent single-handedly, but if given a standard adventurer team, he would really try!

He had seen good things, so his psychological threshold was raised significantly.

The Insect King suddenly turned and glared at Dal. It seemed to sense it was being underestimated and immediately locked onto this human who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.

Just then, Fanen let out a roar nearby, immediately drawing the Insect King’s attention.

The beastified, swollen body suddenly leaped up, casting a shadow over the Insect King. He glanced down at the opponent, swinging his claws and Saw Meat Blade simultaneously!

"Clang—"

A sound like metal clashing echoed. The Insect King, pulling out Uffie’s spear at some unknown moment, steadily blocked his attack!

Phantom flashed, and the Insect King suddenly thrust seven or eight spear shots, each precise, exactly mirroring Uffie’s fighting style.

Moreover, it had conducted a comprehensive enhancement on top of Uffie’s foundation, instantly creating several blood holes on Fanen!

To the latter, pain seemed insignificant; he didn’t dodge but wildly grasped at the opponent, following with a lethal slash.

Yet all of this was evaded by the Insect King. Despite being larger than Uffie, its movement was far more agile, leaving Fanen with five undeniable wounds during its evasive maneuvers!

With the next strike, Fanen was harshly slammed back down, plummeting from the air.

The Insect King smiled, evidently satisfied with the strength of the body it occupied.

The beastified Fanen could serve as an elite monster in the Sain Dungeon, and being able to defeat him effortlessly demonstrated its undeniable prowess.

Yet just as its smile appeared, it raised a hand suddenly, instantly catching the thrown Saw Meat Blade.

Even though caught, the blade’s sharp teeth still penetrated the exoskeleton, embedding deeply into its hand, with blood slowly oozing down. It was injured!

Its eyes showed a trace of anger, looking toward the direction from which the Saw Meat Blade flew. Fanen appeared once more before it, still striking down with claws as hands, ready to fight despite being severely wounded!? Was it that he forgot the pain after beastification or was it relentless willpower?

The Insect King wouldn’t ponder these thoughts; it only wanted this guy to get down quickly to demonstrate its dominance. The spear glowed with an imposing light, ready to unleash an attack sufficient to obliterate a mountain peak, with the sheer starting pressure causing Fanen’s movement to stiffen.

The surging fighting qi followed the spear tip. If this strike hit, even Father Gascoin would lose half his life!

However, as the attack just brushed Fanen’s shoulder, a black shadow flashed by, making Fanen disappear, causing the Insect King’s strike to miss and hit a distant rock wall.

"Boom rumble......"

Large fragments of rock fell, with the Insect King quickly locking onto Fanen’s direction.

Looking again, Dal was seen trying hard to grab Fanen, punching the latter repeatedly.

Infighting?

No, he was just trying to knock Fanen unconscious but found him surprisingly resilient.

Seeing the Insect King glance over, he immediately increased his force, slamming a punch at Fanen, finally rendering him temporarily comatose.

The spear fighting qi followed. Dal had already thrown Fanen to a distance and narrowly dodged the attack, clicking the magic tools in his arms, causing a wolf howl to echo clearly across the capital; he was calling reinforcements.

In fact, he didn’t need to fight the Insect King alone here, especially as the opponent seemed to be occupying the body of his teacher Gapar’s daughter, complicating the action.

Rescuing Fanen would mean completing the task, knocking the latter unconscious was to prevent him from continuing his rampage and causing irreversible beastification.

When the wolf howl signaling the Frans Guard’s assembly rang, the Insect King perceived something amiss, vanishing and reappearing before Dal, spear transforming into hundreds and thousands of residual shadows striking.

Dal immediately activated the Wolf Blood, using his signature Wolf Jump to evade the attack while counterattacking, with the Insect King’s reflexes swift, both forces colliding in this moment. Thɪs chapter is updated by ????????????????????•????????????????•????????????

A deafening collision sounded, with the Insect King retreating two steps, its arm slightly numb, while Dal was sent flying away, narrowly avoiding crashing into the rock wall, regaining composure mid-flight. Nevertheless, he still spat out a mouthful of blood.
