Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

Chapter 745 - 493: Gunner’s Luck E, It’s Tradition

At this moment, he realized that although the Insect King’s stance was not as impressive as the leaders he had seen before, its strength was truly formidable!"I misjudged it."

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and downed a few potions, but there was no time to employ his habitual tricks on the Insect King as it was already upon him.

At this point, he could only endure it! He decided to hold out until his teammates assembled for a counterattack; it shouldn’t take them long to arrive.

However, it seemed he had misjudged the Insect King’s strength and the speed at which his teammates could gather.

The Insect King perfectly inherited and significantly enhanced Uffie’s abilities, and on top of that, it used a variety of moves Uffie had never displayed!

As a species that invested all its abilities in parasitism, the original form of the Insect King might not be strong, but it possessed the memories of all its parasitized hosts. This means that as long as someone has been parasitized, all their skills and combat experience would be acquired by the Insect King and applied perfectly in battle!

That wasn’t all. Upon meeting certain conditions, the Insect King could frequently switch bodies, and each switch would transfer the power of the previous body to the next, making it stronger with every change!

It is a highly evolving creature.

Although the two present hadn’t met the conditions for a switch, with Uffie’s hard strength, it was still able to control the entire fight.

Perhaps not even ten minutes had passed before Dal was unable to cope, riddled with numerous wounds.

The Insect King seemed to have an endless array of moves, making it impossible to guard against, and along with its immense power, any slight mistake would result in severe injury. Dal had already exhausted all his potions.

"Why is everyone taking so long!" He kept his eyes on the leisurely figure of the Insect King, feeling quite troubled, by now the Fran Guards should have assembled. What was delaying their arrival?

Seeing the Insect King launch its final strike, he prepared to fight with all he had, ready to be severely injured again, no, he would definitely get seriously injured!

"Drink!"

A muffled roar echoed as the Insect King, about to strike him, was suddenly knocked away, crashing into a pile of rubble. Updates are released by ????????????????????~????????????????~????????????

Dal had no time to feel relieved and widened his eyes, because it was Fanen who had sent it flying, how did this guy wake up so quickly?

The opponent charged over like a rampant Hulk, unstoppable.

"Come back!"

Dal gritted his teeth and hurried to catch up. He couldn’t let Fanen continue fighting, who knows what consequences might ensue.

The Insect King had just climbed out of the rubble when Fanen charged straight at it, his mighty swing striking Uffie’s face, leaving it momentarily stunned by the massive force.

Why did it seem like the opponent’s strength had increased?

It immediately threw a punch back, and Fanen only slightly retreated a step before swinging back with a punch, the two sides were locked in a powerful and fierce exchange!

Dal, however, noticed something different, because Fanen had his eyes closed, showing no awareness of consciousness.

He hadn’t really woken up, but his intense fighting instinct caused his body to move on its own?

It had been a long time since he had seen such a fierce person!

For a moment, it seemed like some mysterious badge flickered across Fanen’s body, with the strange thing being that while his beast nature seemed to have abated, he could match the Insect King in power?

There’s no time to think about what was going on, Dal immediately joined the battle, slicing through a large section of the exoskeleton with his Fran Greatsword!

Stopping Fanen was impossible, so they had to end the battle quickly. In his current state, Fanen was the best containment, as long as he restricted the Insect King’s movements, Dal could deal more damage.

The Insect King was a bit confused, momentarily stunned by Fanen’s sudden burst.

The two of them attacked the enemy with abandon, with the Insect King’s injuries multiplying, losing track of time.

Dal felt a glimmer of hope for victory, but just then, he saw Fanen open his eyes.

His eyes were clear yet bewildered, as if puzzled about who he was and what he was doing here, his pure gaze clashing starkly with his feral, fierce fur.

In the instant he regained consciousness, the flickering badge on his body disappeared, and his heightened strength plummeted.

"Pfft—"

A long spear pierced through his body, pinning him to the rock wall, blood spewing uncontrollably from his mouth as he quickly weakened.

So it was some kind of Burst Seed state earlier? Dal’s great sword swung out but failed to retract in time, and without the Insect King being restrained, it quickly struck him, sending him flying.

"Ah!"

The Insect King let out a roar of rage, its shattered exoskeleton quickly regenerating, truly angered this time!

Its size suddenly grew larger and more menacing, and in mere moments, Dal was once again pushed back, his injuries deepening, barely able to stand while propped up by his Great Sword.

The effects of the Wolf Blood were wearing off, and if this continued, he would have even less power to fight back.

Where on earth had everyone gone?!

Watching the Insect King charge towards him like Havier’s moving fortress, Dal, unable to evade, gritted his teeth, raising his weapon with his last ounce of strength.

"Steeran, use the Left Bow on the enemy!"

A familiar voice suddenly rang out at this moment!
