The Great Worm Lich

Chapter 264: A Hearty Conquest

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At the beginning of the scuffle, after the spiritual monsters casted sorcery enchantment on their believers, they began to join forces and attack the wizards again and again.

Out of all the spiritual monsters, the leader was a mountain rock spiritual monster, that had a body resemble a huge willow tree that was covered with tree burls and had a deep gaze as its slender and long branches were dancing under the constantly ignited firelights like hair in the air.

After a few attacks, the leader-like mountain rock spiritual monster noticed that the enemies would return to the snake-scale circle every time they were injured and were unable to go on. Just as it saw that their enemies were going to be healed completely once more, it howled as it battled, “Parero! The snake-scale circle is the source of life for those alien demons! We must destroy it in order to win!”

“But our vitality will deteriorate immediately the moment we enter that devilish place! Great Signa, we can’t destroy it at all!” A spiritual monster, who could automatically break down into hundreds of pieces during battle with each piece rolling over the mud for a moment before sticking to countless amounts of mud and gravel to transform into a stone warrior, shouted out loud.

“We can’t but you can!” The leader of the spiritual monster dodged a tumbling attack from the living corpse meatball and shrieked loudly. “Send half of your body into the snake-scale circle and ignite the core! Along with the struggles of Leba, Namelun and Koncha who are imprisoned underground by the enemies, you can definitely destroy the enemy’s source of life!”

“But in that case, I’ll be equal to being destroyed as well!” Upon hearing the leader’s words, the stone warrior that only had several dozens of its clones remained behind as it bawled at the same time. “That is a fate that is even more miserable than being destroyed! I...”

“Check and see how many bodies you’ve left, Parero! If you continue to hesitate, I’m afraid you’d be unable to sacrifice even if you want to later on,” the spiritual monster’s leader changed his tone and said in a bewitching tone. “You have a special ability! You wouldn’t be considered as dead as long as there’s still one body of your stone warrior left! And me, the Remodeler of the Pumanra hereby announce that I’ll use ten years of the tribal offering on you to let you recover! Not only that, you’ll become even stronger than before as well!”

The two spiritual monsters discussed how to get rid of this Life-and-Death Circle using howls that rumbled the heavens but the wizards who prevailed in the scene did not know anything at all due to the language barrier.

However, Zhang Lisheng who possessed the Eternal Comprehension Spell understood what the spiritual monsters were talking of. As his eyes lit up, he quietly moved his feet to hide behind the fat old man with the surname Zhu from the Witchcraft’s Gate of Life.

Just as the young man had hidden himself away, Parero, who was persuaded by his leader, shouted out for the last time, “Great Signa! Please keep your promise!” Then, he commanded the stone warriors transformed from half of his body to charge into the snake-scale circle.

When the wizards saw the stone spiritual monster doing so, they, who had already prevailed in the scene, did not even try to stop it.

Ouyang Boxiong, who felt that the overall situation had already been determined and who had restored his air of being a senior, even laughed out loud. “These demons are really looking for their own deaths! It’s so apparent that they have witnessed the powerfulness of this Life-and-Death Circle but they still refuse to give up! Let them charge towards it then! Let them go! They can even help replenish the wizard power of Old Brother Zhu and the disciples...”

Just as he was still laughing, the 40 or so stone warriors who charged into the Life-and-Death Circle suddenly crouched down on the ground at the same time and exploded together, setting off countless amounts of smoke and sent the six wizards from the Gate of Life, who could not move an inch while they were casting their spells, flying to dozens of feet away together with their disciples. Nobody knew whether they managed to survive or had died.

“T-This is self-detonation from the Gold Core! T-The Gold Cores of these demons can even be self-detonated! T-This is...” The Grand Wizards, of whom the oldest was already over 100 years old and the youngest ones were already more than 60 years old, had lived for quite a long life but they had only entered a battle once in their entire lives against the spiritual monsters when they came to Shrimp B1 Island. Now that they saw the legendary self-detonation of the Gold Core, they were all dumbfounded in an inexplicable manner.

Amidst their lingering shock, they became neglectful and because of this, the battle was temporarily turned around. The spiritual monsters, who obtained the opportunity to attack, howled loudly and made their joint attacks, killing an elite disciple from the Gate of Death in one fell swoop and transformed him into a pile of flying ash.

The disciple’s short cry of sorrow caused the Grand Wizards to snap back to reality.

What was done could not be undone. Ouyang Boxiong, who could hardly absolve himself from blame for this series of deaths and injuries and who did not know just how severe the punishment he was going to receive in the future, could only feel all of his blood flooding towards his brain.

His long white hair swayed without wind as he shouted, “Good demons! What a good technique you have right there!” Then, reaching out a sharp nail, he sliced his abdomen and actually cut his belly, releasing two living corpses of black and white color, hugging tightly at each other that formed a yin and yang ball. When the other Grand Wizards saw this, shock consumed them as it was apparent that he was taking out his last trump card.

Right at this moment, Zhang Lisheng, who was blown away by the strong wind set off by the Gold Core’s self-detonation, had already climbed back into the jungle quietly.

Tearing off his tattered clothes into pieces, he waved his hand and his body immediately expanded to transform into the body of a nine-tailed lizard that had nine scorpion tails at its spine.

As Zhang Lisheng looked back at the fierce battle at the aborigine tribe, he flashed a ferocious smile and muttered to himself, “You guys don’t even understand the language and yet you actually dare to come snatch my island? You guys are obviously skilled in omniscient powers but still want fame and gain? And here I was thinking that a Grand Wizard would transcend worldliness but it seems that...all of you are just nothing but a bunch of powerful circus monkeys!” After turning invisible, he shuttled rapidly in the forest, and soon came to the proximity of the habitat of Tudenan.

The bonfire in the tribe was burning vigorously as the Tudenan’s headman and chief warriors were silently standing under the totem pole quietly as they stared at their thousands of tribal warriors.

Amidst the suddenly swaying firelight, Tugra, who was wrapped in heavy fur, heaved a long sigh and said in a hoarse voice, “Looks like those coveters would not come tonight!”

“Even if they don’t come tonight, they’ll definitely come tomorrow night! We...” Tumu, Tudenan’s bravest chief warrior clenched his fists and said, biting his teeth. However, there was a hint of relief that was revealed in his heavy tone.

At this moment, a terrible figure suddenly appeared under the totem pole.

Upon seeing that slender body suddenly appear in front of their eyes, Tugra rubbed his eyes and disregarded his own majesty before throwing himself on the ground with surprise. “Great Raider! I knew that you can feel the danger of the Tudenan people...”

“Tugra, tonight is the night Tudenan will harvest luscious fruit. Stop your nonsense and immediately gather the warriors to go to Pumanra tribe with me! The 18 spiritual monsters there should be dead by now and the warrior soldiers should have lost their fighting spirit already. I’ll personally push down their totem poles and take their tribal book of history later so that the name ‘Pumanra’ will forever become the dust of history!” Zhang Lisheng, who had transformed into a lizard, said calmly.

“Pumanra w-will be conquered by us? Great Raider...” Tugra’s body turned stiff as he said in a trembling voice while crouching on the ground.

“I said ‘gather the warriors’, Tugra!” Zhang Lisheng glanced over the several tens of thousands of aborigines who had long been crouching and said once again.

“Y-Yes, Great Raider!” The Tudenan’s headman did not dare say anything more. Very soon, he and the chief warriors gathered the indigenous warriors, who were just so happened to have gathered in front of the totem pole, and formed them into a marching array.

After that, they followed behind Zhang Lisheng who had calculated the time properly to pass through the dark jungle, and trekked towards the Pumanra tribe in a nervous manner. At once, the sight of the war-worn ruins appeared in front of all the Tudenan tribesmen.

The tragic and ruined scene of Pumanra, the largest tribe in the radius of a few dozen miles, made the Tudenan warriors shudder.

It was very hard for them to imagine that just not long ago, this powerful tribe, that had formed an alliance with its surrounding five small tribes and launched a coalition with an open intention of wanting to divide the newly rising Tudenan on the reason that ‘Tudenan had seized Menger, Pavaro and the Vals tribe without good reason’ and caused sleeplessness and restlessness to the other tribes, was inexplicably destroyed just like that.

“All of the Tudenan warriors who have partners, listen to my order! Charge forward! Charge! Charge!” At that moment when the Tudenan warriors were shocked, a roar that penetrated the dark and silent night resonated in their ears. Then, they saw a figure that had transformed into an incomparably fierce giant charging towards the depth of the Pumanra’s remnant in great strides.

“Great Raider! You’re our living faith! You’re our hope in the degradation! Tudenans, charge! Charge! Charge...” One, two, three... up to thousands of Tudenan warriors, who snapped back to reality and learnt how miracles were formed, waved their spears and howled at the top of their lungs, following closely behind that tall and sturdy figure who seemed to be able to bring glory to them forever. Throwing death to the back of their minds, they rushed into the chaotic formation of the Pumanra tribesmen who had long lost their fighting spirit after being tortured by the wizards.

Like a steel knife that could easily cut tofu, Zhang Lisheng, who transformed into Money Toad, led the Tudenan warriors and charged directly towards the Pumanra’s totem pole. Using his entire might, he slammed onto the stone pillar that had lost its mysterious power till it collapsed.

At this time, the Pumanra had already lost their strength to resist completely. The only thought left in their minds was to protect the tribal legacy but unfortunately, after the totem pole was pushed down, Zhang Lisheng, who immediately jumped tens of meters away, rushed into the Pumanra’s huge bark house enshrining the tribal book of history and did not give this poor tribe a chance at all.

When the giant covered in blood held up the tribal book of history of the Pumanra tribe as he strode out of the bark house, the Pumanra warriors, who had been fighting with their last summoned bravery, immediately let go of the spears in their hands in a dejected expression.

Afterwards, they stood in the firelight like a puppet, with an expression on their face praying that all of this was just a nightmare, and just let the Tudenan people who were swaggering around to carve it up pile by pile.

After counting the remaining people, there were still 45,000 Pumanra tribesmen who managed to survive. Among the 11,000 who died, more than 10,000 were killed by the wizards and only the remaining less than 1000 people were killed by Zhang Lisheng and the Tudenan warriors. Of course, none of the aborigines were aware of this inside story at all.

Right now, the Pumanra tribesmen only knew that their tribes had become nothing but history while the Tudenan tribesmen only knew that they had only sacrificed 100 people to win this hearty conquest!
