Chapter 492 - 226: Void Lord 3

Damenevsky offered a casual explanation.

It would have been better if he hadn’t said anything. His words only confused Li Ziyu even more.

’So is it a Void Insect Tide or not?’

A crack, a dozen or so meters long, tore through the Void and hung across the sky.

Li Ziyu’s eyes narrowed at the sight of the Void crack.

Previously, the Void cracks made by the Void Beetles were proportional to their body size.

’This crack is over ten meters long... just what level of Void Beetle would that be?!’

Li Ziyu took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the Void crack.

The crack quickly expanded, turning into a pitch-black Wormhole.

From within the Wormhole emerged a Void Beetle... man?

Huh?

Li Ziyu tilted his head as he watched the creature emerge.

’This is a little different from what I imagined.’

What emerged from that massive Wormhole was not some super-giant Void Beetle,

but a bipedal, humanoid Void Beetle, about two meters tall.

The Void Beetle’s carapace served as Solid Armor on his body.

This humanoid Void Beetle seemed to hold a high status. Li Ziyu noticed that after it appeared, all the other Void Beetles bowed, lowering their heads, each one acting docile and obedient.

Unlike other Void Beetles, this humanoid one’s carapace was like Crystal Stone.

It had a glossy sheen and a somewhat transparent quality.

After stepping out of the Wormhole, the humanoid Void Beetle waved a hand, and the Wormhole shrank, disappearing from the sky.

The distance was considerable, but Li Ziyu could feel the humanoid Void Beetle’s gaze fall upon him and Damenevsky.

Or more accurately, it landed on Damenevsky.

’It’s not here for me.’

’It’s come for Damenevsky.’

’Here for revenge?’

Li Ziyu had a moment of realization.

"I am the Void Lord, Bebuta. Warrior, fight me."

A grand voice echoed across the sky and the earth.

The voice was deep and slightly hoarse, with a metallic, resonant quality, like someone speaking through a metal mask.

’It can talk! It’s intelligent!’

’It’s not an ordinary Void Beetle, but a Lord.’

’That’s quite a surprise.’

’There are intelligent Void Beetles?’

’And they have a social hierarchy?’

Li Ziyu had never seen anything like this before.

He turned to look at Damenevsky beside him.

"Here for you?"

’Since it said "Warrior," this probably has nothing to do with me.’

Li Ziyu knew his own limits.

He was no Warrior; he was a Lord.

He relied on his Undead.

He himself was trash at fighting—he could barely take on a Skeleton Undead. A Skeleton Warrior would wipe the floor with him.

"I don’t know. I don’t recognize him."

"But I’m excited."

"He seems pretty strong. This should be a good fight."

Damenevsky looked up at the Void Lord Bebuta in the sky, his eyes gleaming with excitement and belligerence.

Sigh...

’I’d call you a reckless, iron-headed brute.’

’Don’t you even stop to consider whether you can actually win?’

Li Ziyu sighed silently.

"Can you win?"

’That’s the biggest problem here, okay?’

’If you, the big shot from the Hero Race, can’t beat him and die in battle, what will happen to me?’

He had to admit, Damenevsky was currently the strongest single combatant on his side.

Hearing this, Damenevsky grinned.

"Whether I can win or not... we’ll only know after we fight."

He slammed his fists together, creating an explosive sound and a surging wave of air.

Bebuta extended a hand, pointing at Damenevsky, whose fighting spirit was soaring.

"Warrior."

"Fight!"

Damenevsky suddenly let out a deafening roar, a sound like a cannonball exploding right next to Li Ziyu’s ear.

Li Ziyu’s eyes immediately went wide.

’Holy shit...’

’I can’t hear!’

’I’m deaf!’

Everything before him was shaking. He felt as if he were on a small fishing boat, tossed about by monstrous waves.

He staggered, grabbing onto the battlements to keep from falling.

His vision swam, and he subconsciously covered his ears.

His ears were ringing loudly.

’Damn you, Damenevsky!’

’What the hell are you shouting for?!’

Amidst Li Ziyu’s furious, silent curses, Damenevsky shot into the sky, heading straight for Bebuta.

BOOM—

Clouds of air erupted in the sky as shockwaves surged and spread outwards.
