Six Elite Grade Carrion Beetles were an invincible existence in the forest!
Their carapaces were tough and hard to damage, and their pincers could devour anything. If not for their slow flying speed and lack of long-range attacks, the previous few batches of Vampires would not have been enough to deal with them.
With them protecting him, Entik didn't need to worry about personal protection at all. All he needed to do was vent his anger without restraint. As a result, the entire forest was blown up, and almost all of it was Entich's doing.
However, after fighting with the Carrion Beetles for so long, the Vampires had figured out a way to deal with these tough, thick-skinned, slow-moving, tank-type beetles. That was to lure the snakes out of their holes and take them out one by one!
Large groups of Vampire Bats were scattered around Entik's perimeter, frequently luring him to attack with rabid attacks. Then, the powerful Vampires would attack continuously, recklessly crashing into the defensive line formed by the Carrion Beetles.
Once a beetle was lured out of the defensive line, specialized Vampires would immediately move forward and do their best to lure it to the perimeter. This process would inevitably result in a considerable loss of Vampires.
At the start of the battle, the pressure on Entik was not that great. He still had time to summon back the Carrion Beetles that had been lured out of the defensive line. However, when the real battle erupted, the heavy pressure on the battlefield made it impossible for him to care about the movements of the Carrion Beetles.
Although the Carrion Beetles were ordered to stay by his side to protect him, they would still instinctively charge forward when an enemy appeared in front of them that they could kill in one blow. Just like that, when the Carrion Beetle and its companions had opened up a gap of ten to twenty meters, it was time for the Blood Knights led by Soros to launch their sneak attack.
The carapaces of elite Carrion Beetles were tough and hard to damage, especially the sharp fangs and claws of low-level Vampires. However, this did not apply to the Blood Knights equipped with rune weapons.
Four streaks of blood-red light flashed in a frenzy. The Carrion Beetles that had the physique and strength of elite Magi immediately became victims of the blood-red battle technique. Its previously indestructible carapace was instantly hacked into pieces, and purplish black blood splattered on the spot.
By the time the demonic insect Entich and the other five Carrion Beetles charged over furiously, the four Blood Knights had long since dispersed into the swarm of bats and were nowhere to be found.
The disadvantage in speed made it almost impossible for the Carrion Beetles to hunt down high-grade vampires!
On the other hand, the Blood Knights' Berserk Crimson Combat Technique made up for the Vampires' weakness in attack, giving them the chance to surround and kill lone Elite Carrion Scarabs.
With Soros's command, the Blood Knights no longer fought head-on against the Carrion Beetles like before. Instead, they used the low-rank vampires, blood thralls, and minions as cover, roaming around the perimeter of the enemy's defense line. Whenever they saw an opportunity, they would take a bite out of the Carrion Beetles.
Relying on this method, the Blood Knight managed to slay two Elite ranked Carrion Scarabs, frightening Entik so much that he no longer dared to release the remaining four Carrion Scarabs.
At this point, Entek's shortcoming had already been fully revealed!
His slow movement speed was practically the biggest reason for his death. There was no other reason.
His main means of defense were these Carrion Beetles with hard carapaces. Without these sturdy meat shields, the defense of his bugman body could be said to be incomparably weak. The reason why he had the title of Immortal Bug Body was because of the astonishing number of Evil Scorpions.
After such a long war with the Insect Ghouls, the Evil Scorpions he hatched were almost completely exhausted. Just like that, his Immortal Bug Body was indirectly broken!
Any damage that his body suffered would be reflected on his insect body. Without new scorpions to fuse with, his damaged bug body could not be repaired, and his injuries would only worsen.
Although Entek wanted to burrow into the ground and escape, this meant that he had no choice but to reluctantly abandon the last four Elite Carrion Beetles.
For Entek, who no longer had any troops to use, this was a painful choice that felt like his heart was being torn apart.
However, when Entek sensed that the blood-colored Mary's spiritual undulation was rapidly approaching, he had no choice but to make a decision immediately, no matter how reluctant he was.
Following his sharp insect hiss, the four Carrion Beetles immediately flew out, rampaging and tearing through the swarm of bats that filled the sky. In a matter of seconds, seven to eight unlucky ghosts that could not evade in time were killed.
Taking advantage of the gap created by his subordinates, Entek's entire body turned into a thick cloud of black smoke, and he burrowed into the ground without hesitation.
"Trying to escape?" Mary's delicate shout came from midair. "Not so easy!"
Immediately after, a bloody arrow emitting a thick red glow pierced into the pitch-black soil of the forest with a whoosh and suddenly exploded. Soil splattered everywhere, and a pit with a radius of one meter and a depth of more than half a meter was blasted open on the spot.
Under Mary's guidance, the Tier 2 Blood Knight Soros' mighty and sturdy body appeared near the pit in a flash. He gripped his sword with both hands and stabbed it down fiercely. Even the hilt of the sword almost sank into the soil. That was not the end. Following his violent roar, the blood energy in his body frantically surged into the longsword.
An even more ferocious explosion occurred!
Amidst the grass and wood fragments, dirt, and blood-red energy storm that filled the sky, a black figure was blasted into the sky and abruptly appeared in front of everyone.
"Go … All of you, go … We must surround and kill him here today …"
Following the Old Fox Venlier's hissing roar in the sky, a large group of blood-red figures pounced out from the surrounding dense forest. Like moths to a flame, they pounced toward the figure that staggered in the sky.
Even more Vampire Bats surrounded the four Elite Carrion Beetles tightly, using their lives and bodies to block the Carrion Beetles and Entek.
Two battles, two completely different battle styles, almost at the same time, the intense battle broke out!
At this point, no one cared about the damage to their low-level subordinates. They used the sea of subordinates to trap the Carrion Beetles, while the elites of the vampires were all transferred to Entich's vicinity, launching wave after wave of tide-like attacks at him.
It was still difficult for the Vampires' fangs and claws to break through Entek's insect body. Only the four Blood Knights, led by Soros, could pose enough of a threat to him. Of course, that terrifying Bloody Witch, Mary, who hid among the ghosts and never showed her face was also included!
Any Vampire that got close to Entek would be engulfed in a huge acid mist the moment they came into contact with the slightest bit of the black smoke. Then, their bodies would turn into a puddle of stinking black liquid. Hence, Entek's terrifying witchcraft was like an incurable poison to ordinary Vampires. Fighting against him was akin to digging one's own grave.
But under the command of a few high-level Vampires, these Vampires and Blood Thralls whose souls and bodies were under the control of others were basically sending themselves to their deaths to exhaust Entek's power.
When his wizard power could no longer support such a high-consumption form of witchcraft, Entek could only reform his insect body and rely on his hard carapace and terrifying pincers to tear apart every enemy that got close to him.
This was also the time when the Blood Knights would take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
But Entek's strange insect body could actually split and combine at will. When the last remaining tier 1 Blood Knight brushed past him and had just completed his attack, the demonic worm Endika actually swung his right arm and threw it at him.
This giant pincer suddenly transformed into a large swarm of wriggling strange scorpions in midair. They pounced on the Blood Knight like a dense swarm of bees, covering his body in an instant. What followed was a chain of terrifying gnawing sounds, as well as the Blood Knight's frantic struggles and pained screams!
Pfft …
The explosive sound of a bowstring being pulled rang out in midair. A large area of blood-colored light rain quickly enveloped the swarm of insects.
The blood-colored light rain, as sharp as needles, pierced through the still struggling figure, nailing the hundreds of scorpions outside his body to the ground.
When the blood-colored light rain fell, the Blood Knight and the hundreds of scorpions were corroded into a pool of blood by the thick blood rain.
Entek's sharp and painful hisses came from within the swarm of ghosts!
Mary had sacrificed a Blood Knight for this, while Entek had sacrificed hundreds of scorpions …
To Mary, who had already made up her mind, this bit of sacrifice was not worth mentioning. But to Entek, who had lost all his reinforcements, it was no less than the pain of losing an arm.
Although Entek tried his best to transform his insect body amidst his hisses and grow a new pincer, his body inevitably became smaller.
This scene was like the sound of a charging horn, immediately triggering a riot among the vampires!
Soros, Winsol, and Doehring, the three remaining Grade 2 Blood Knights, were like three incomparably sharp daggers. They blended into the swarm of ghosts and continuously launched death charges at Entek.
Runic longswords that were imbued with dense blood-colored energy were able to leave a huge wound on Entico's insect body every time. Then, waves of blood-colored energy lingered around the wound, preventing it from healing and transforming.
Entek, who was under heavy siege, was like a desperate wolf. His eyes flashed with a sinister green light as he madly attacked the few Blood Knights who had inflicted great damage on him.
"Mary … Come out and fight me … Come out right now …"
Entek kept hissing and hooting as he waved his huge pincer to fight with all his might. The wounds on his body became more and more numerous, and more and more concentrated …
Finally, Entek's insect body disintegrated after suffering another violent and fierce blow from Soros!
Bang …
Amidst the loud explosion, the remaining witchcraft energy in Entek's body exploded into a huge cloud of black smoke. Hundreds of black insect silhouettes the size of fingertips were mixed in the ferocious shockwaves of the explosion, whizzing in all directions like bullets.
Although the swarm of vampires was as dense as the clouds, it was still not enough to block such a large number of insect bullets.
But just as the vampires were frantically circling around, trying their best to intercept every insect silhouette, Mary's slender and tall figure suddenly appeared somewhere in the periphery. She extended her beautiful, slender hand and grabbed a seemingly ordinary insect silhouette with her bare hands.
She closed her slender hand, and blood-colored energy gathered together. It immediately transformed into a strange rune and entered the insect silhouette.
Hiss hiss hiss …
The strange insect silhouette shrieked and finally condensed into a black beetle. Entek's ugly insect face protruded from the carapace on its back, roaring angrily at Mary.
But when he sensed the terrifying blood elemental Wizard Power condensed in Mary's palm, Entek finally knew fear.
"Let me go … Lady Mary, as long as you let me go, I'm willing to follow you for life …"
For the first time, Entek revealed a look of frustration, cowardice, and despair. He tried his best to curry favor with Mary.
