Such a phenomenon made Edmund and Zumar feel as if their hearts were being scratched by hundreds of claws. The two of them kept craning their necks to look into the temple. Although they couldn't see anything, they couldn't control their thoughts. They looked over again and again, only to be disappointed again and again, as if that was the only way to make them feel at ease …
However, when the surging of the light elements almost reached the level of a gale, there was a strange movement coming from the distance of the temple, and it finally attracted Edmund's and Zumar's attention.
Immediately afterwards, they saw a group of extremely strange creatures dashing over from an area that they hadn't explored previously. The upper bodies of those creatures were similar to humans, but their lower bodies were like big fat worms, and their arms were like the sickles of a praying mantis. Although they had no legs, and could only move forward with their bodies, their speed was not slower than that of ferocious beasts. Besides, each of them had Legendary-level strength.
Even Saint Edmund, who was experienced and knowledgeable, couldn't recognize what kind of monsters they were. However, he knew that they definitely didn't come with good intentions. Hence, he immediately got the team to get into a battle formation.
The mages of the Tower of Dusk didn't relax at all. After all, the one who was drawing mageweaths was their President. Hence, after seeing those monsters, the mages didn't have any special reaction, and were completely unaffected by the appearance of those monsters. It was no different from encountering a group of human enemies.
Those bugs, or rather, bug-men, were like cavalry that had launched a charge, and had no intention of stopping at all. They finally rushed towards the Illuminati and the Tower of Dusk. At the same time, they waved their sickle-like forearms at the two teams in unison, and immediately shot out a wave of wind blades.
However, that level of attack was not enough for the Illuminati and the Tower of Dusk at all. Not to mention the fact that there were Sanctuary powerhouses like Edmund and Zumar, any one of the two teams wouldn't be injured by such an attack.
The mages of the Tower of Dusk raised their staffs in unison, and an ice wall that was a few meters thick instantly appeared in front of the two teams, blocking the Wind Blade attacks of the human-shaped insects. Following that, the mages in the second row also raised their staffs and chanted a few simple magic incantations. Suddenly, fireballs the size of washbasins smashed down from the sky like a meteor shower towards the group of Human-Worm Warriors.
Logically speaking, such a group of Human Insects should have something to rely on no matter what, since they were charging over so aggressively. After the mages cast their spells, they didn't think that the meteors and fireballs could cause much damage to the Zergs. But what they didn't expect was that after those fireballs fell into the swarm, it was like sparks splashing into a pot of oil. They actually ignited hundreds of Human-Bugs all at once. Even those that weren't hit by the fireballs couldn't escape.
Immediately, the two teams stared dumbfoundedly in front of them. The group of human-shaped insects were all wrapped in flames, rolling around and struggling like moving torches. In just a few minutes, the group of human-shaped insects no longer made a sound, and as the flames extinguished, piles of black ash were revealed.
"What the hell is this? They actually dared to rush out with such strength!?" Connoris exclaimed in disbelief. He initially thought that he could have a good battle, but he didn't expect the battle to end just like that.
Although Edmund and Elder Zumar were relieved that the battle had ended quickly, they also felt that the situation was a little strange. After all, there were hundreds of Legendary powerhouses. Even if there were only hundreds of Legendary-level magical beasts, they shouldn't have been dealt with so easily.
However, immediately afterwards, an even larger group of human-shaped insects appeared from the direction that the group of human-shaped insects had come from just now. Unlike the previous group of human-shaped insects, this group of human-shaped insects actually knew how to line up neatly like a regular phalanx. Besides, there were also some larger human-shaped insects that were a level higher in strength, and seemed to be playing the role of a captain.
Seeing that more enemies had appeared again, the mages of the Tower of Dusk raised their staffs to launch a magical attack before the enemies could rush to them again. It was still a large number of meteor fireballs that smashed towards the group of human-shaped insects densely, almost enveloping the entire group of human-shaped insects within the attack range.
However, this time, after the fireballs landed on the group of human-shaped insects, they did not ignite them as easily as the previous time. Only the shock of the explosion slightly affected the formation of some of the human-shaped insects. Apart from that, only those that were directly hit by the fireballs seemed to have suffered some damage, but it was not fatal. When the sparks landed on the other human-shaped insects, they immediately bounced off and fell to the ground, unable to create the same results as before.
They're immune to fire elemental magic just because they've changed a batch? That made Edmund and the others feel a little incredulous. However, the current situation did not allow them to look for the answer carefully. The team of human-shaped insects had already rushed to the front of the two teams while resisting the magic attacks.
At this juncture, no one could care less about what was strange about it. The team of the Illuminati and the Tower of Dusk immediately launched an intense battle with the team of human-shaped insects.
Although the immunity of the human-shaped insects to fire elemental magic this time shocked the two teams, they soon discovered that the ice elemental magic was also extremely damaging to the human-shaped insects. It was as if the human-shaped insects had no resistance to ice elemental magic at all. Hence, the intense battle did not last long, and only the two teams of the Illuminati and the Tower of Dusk were left at the scene.
Hence, the intense battle did not last long, and only the two teams of the Illuminati and the Tower of Dusk were left at the scene, as well as the ground that was covered with broken pieces of ice that were wrapped in the flesh of humans and insects.
With the previous experience, the mages of the Tower of Dusk did not use meteor fireballs to bombard the group of human-shaped insects this time. Instead, they used ice balls that were continuously spinning and scattering icicles. However, this time, the group of human-shaped insects was actually immune to ice elemental magic again. The ice balls were already high-level Legendary-level magic, but they did not cause the damage that they should have.
However, this time, the Zergs were actually immune to the ice element magic again. The Ice Sealing Ball was already an advanced Legendary-level magic, but it did not cause any damage to the Zergs. Immediately afterwards, the mages cast the meteor fireballs again, but just like before, they could not cause any serious damage to the human-shaped insects.
This time, Edmund and the others seemed to have some conjectures. It seemed that the human-shaped insects actually had the ability to absorb experience and evolve their bodies. The human-shaped insects that appeared in the beginning had no resistance to fire elemental magic at all. The second batch of them became immune to fire elemental magic, but had no resistance to ice elemental magic at all. Now, this batch of human-shaped insects was not only immune to fire elemental magic, but they were also immune to ice elemental magic. That probably couldn't be a coincidence.
Indeed, just as Edmund and the others had guessed, batches of human-shaped insects appeared one after another, and were destroyed one after another. However, they also became more and more difficult to destroy. In the end, the human-shaped insects that appeared in front of them had already changed greatly from the initial ones. The original beige bodies of the human-shaped insects had turned into colorful flowing colors, and their bodies were also covered with tough armor. Not only did they have an extremely high immunity to various types of magic, their physical defense had also become rather strong.
At this time, the battle between the Illuminati and the Tower of Dusk was no longer as easy as before. The magic was not completely harmless to the human-shaped insects. After all, there was a limit to the immunity of the human-shaped insects to magic, but the effect was definitely different from before. There were also some Legendary Sword Sages in the Illuminati's team, and it was their attacks that allowed the human-shaped insects to put on tough armor. However, if the attacks really hit the fatal spots, the human-shaped insects would not be able to escape.
However, in that case, the battle would not be easy. After all, the strength of the group of human-shaped insects was also above the Legendary-level. The captain-level human-shaped insects with larger bodies had reached the mid-Legendary-level, and there were even general-level human-shaped insects that were close to the Sanctuary-realm.
It had only been a few hours, and the weird human-shaped insects had actually evolved to such a level. Edmund and the others could not believe everything in front of them. If it was the survival of the fittest, all the powerful magical beasts would have gone through the process of evolution for tens of thousands of years. However, the group of human-shaped insects actually shortened the evolution process to a few hours. No one would believe it if they told others about it.
However, the truth was right in front of them. Just now, they were scums with only 5 combat power, but now, their combat power had skyrocketed as if they had taken the Vajra Strength Pill. The mages of the Tower of Dusk were able to withstand the attacks with the help of the Magic Net Array, but the Illuminati seemed to be in a difficult situation.
In the face of such a situation, Connoris was the most excited one. To him, this was the only way to fight, and the previous battles were simply a waste of emotions. He did not take the Eternal Frost Blade, and instead charged into the group of human-shaped insects with his fists. He used the most basic Warrior skills to fight the human-shaped insects with punches and kicks.
However, Saint Edmund and Elder Zumar did not participate in the battle, and instead guarded the dilapidated temple tightly for fear that something would barge in and disturb Lin Li. Besides, during the battle, they had already seen obvious changes in the surrounding space. Clearly, Lin Fang's work of drawing mageweaths had reached a critical moment.
At this moment, the light elements in the space formed several rivers of light that surged into the depths of the temple from all directions. Under such influence, the space that was originally filled with light also became much dimmer. The direction where the ancient God of Light was suppressed was still better, but the direction where the human-shaped insects were surging from seemed to have entered dusk.
