Chapter 717: Hunters or Preys? (5)
Just a moment ago, it seemed as if he was about to send the mysterious giant flying, but the next moment, his head suddenly blew up. They knew the soul puppet in their arsenal could mimic 33% of their original strength despite only having a unique rank, but despite the suppression, no one in the entire conflict plains could counter them, not to mention destroy their soul puppets with a mere slap!
At this moment, the thought of this giant being weak or having any misgivings about him just because he was out of the norm vanished in smoke, and they were fully on guard.
\'T-this... he\'s an aura user with a ridiculously powerful physique! And he seemed even stronger than that brainless fool. Just what kind of race he belonged to?\' Diminutive thought as his expression was solemn.
If he was planning on subduing this person by letting him taste despair first, his entire plan changed after witnessing Vermont\'s soul puppet end. He even started to doubt if he could go against this guy with his main body!
Jacob leisurely walked towards the foot of the mountain as if he had just flicked a flea in his way. This time, no one made any move, not even the Queen Ice Fiend Locust.
However, the Queen Ice Fiend Locust wasn\'t afraid, just a little shocked and thought, \'I guess the treasures they are using are pitifully weak. They\'re turning out to be useless despite their early arrogance, and it seemed I had to deal with this matter just as I had initially planned. I\'ll just wait for my army to arrive, and then I\'ll show them what true power is.\'
At this moment, Sylas could no longer take the suspense and question with a hint of apprehension, "Who are you?"
He figures that subduing this guy and inflicting some pain on him as a payback might be difficult after witnessing Vermont\'s pitiful end.
Jacob stopped about fifteen meters away from the remaining five, and he didn\'t have any intention of replying to Sylas. Instead, he looked at the Ice Fiend Locust and said with clear provocation, "You must be the Bug Bitch... oh, I mean, the Queen Ice Fiend Locust, right? I was expecting your huge army, but you came with these cowards instead. Tsk, tsk, I guess I was expecting too much from a Fantastic Insect; you have no dignity at all."
The Queen Ice Fiend Locust\'s eye almost turned crimson with wrath when she heard Jacob\'s disdainful words as if she were just a bug in his eyes. She felt even more humiliated, and her somewhat clear mind was instantly blinded by the rage that she had been suppressing all this time.
"Vile Thief! Even if you hand over my treasure, I\'ll torment you until the day your pitiful life ends!" She screeched as the Ice Fiend Locust opened its menacing maw. An ice-blue aura suddenly gushed out from its body, turning the surroundings into ice!
She could no longer endure it, and instead of waiting for her incoming army like she initially planned, she lost her reason, and ice spikes started to materialize over Jacob\'s head.
\'Just as Immortika said, she really lost her rationality once I came in front of her and provoked her. She\'s easy to manipulate like this...\' Jacob thought with a hint of relief as he was just testing the Queen Ice Fiend Locust\'s flaw by provoking just to confirm if her flaw worked as Immortika predicted it would, and it seemed he was worried about nothing.
"Wa..." Sylas was about to stop the Queen Ice Fiend Locust from releasing that spell since he could tell this guy was provoking them.
But alas, it was completely useless, and the Queen Ice Fiend Locust controlled the Ice Fiend Locust and released the most powerful spell, \'Ice Filed: Death Rain!\' and the ice spikes suddenly shot towards Jacob from all the directions, and the more mana she poured it, the ice spike rain were almost endless.
Normally, she would\'ve used this spell with millions of Ice Fiend Locusts, creating an endless rain of ice spikes that completely overwhelmed her opponent. Her opponent wouldn\'t have had any choice but to block it with their mana and slowly exhaust everything until they couldn\'t block it anymore.
But a single Ice Fiend Locust could only cover a fifty-meter area into an ice field, and its mana would only last for a minute. Furthermore, Jacob was extremely powerful right now, and despite Immortika\'s subtle explanation, he wasn\'t aware of his physical limitations.
Earlier, when Vermont attacked him, it might\'ve appeared extremely fast, but in Jacob\'s eyes, he was as slow as a snail. That slap wasn\'t meant to kill him, but because he didn\'t know just how powerful his physical body had become, he ended up destroying the soul puppet despite not even using half of his strength.
Now that the Ice Fiend Locust was using this spell, he didn\'t dodge and let it hit him as he wanted to see how this advanced, unique rank spell would affect him.
However, when the ice spike connected his body, despite their sharpness and powerful force behind them, they shattered like glass upon collision, and all Jacob felt was...nothing!
\'Although the damn book had hidden the essential part of the final stage until now, I had to admit; the benefits are insane. So, I guess I just have to gather more blood now and complete this as soon as possible. But instead of doing it the hard and time-consuming way, I\'ll just have to change my method...\'
Once Jacob was content with this experiment and saw the hint of fear in the quasi-legends\' gazes, he decided to proceed to the next step.
Jacob moved and appeared right in front of Ice Fiend Locust as if he had teleported, but that was his full speed. The Ice Fiend Locust was shocked when Jacob suddenly appeared right in front of it, completely ignoring the spell.
But before it could react, Jacob\'s hand moved as he threw another slap, and the Ice-Fined Locust blasted into mincemeat, splashing purple blood everywhere. Once it died, the spell lost its effect by the time its headless body dropped to the ground.
The Quasi Legends, who witnessed this similar scene again, quickly jumped back instinctively. They knew their soul puppets weren\'t this person\'s match!
However, at this moment, Jacob, who had spoken to them all this time, suddenly said nonchalantly, "That\'s how you squash a bug. You guys are Quasi Legends, right? Do you want to make a deal with me instead of this bug bitch?"
