Translator: Lonelytree

Feng Bujue ignored the enemy’s taunt and continued to survey the environment around the Leaf of Terror. After confirming the geography in relation to the Boss’ location, he exchanged a look with his teammates and said, “Okay… follow the plan and start moving.” Atobe, Ambitionist, Pegasus answered and then moved away from Brother Jue, each going a separate way.

“Ha… what are you guys trying to do? Do you really wish to fight me?” The condescension in the Silkworm Mother’s tone was clear. “And I thought you people would be much smarter than that…”

The Silkworm Mother was attacked on both ends by punches and light arrows. Atobe’s giant fan lashed out powerful gales to attack her from the back. But the Silkworm Mother continued casually like the attacks were nothing more than scratches. “For example… you guys could have separated into teams, one team to stop me while the other go to rescue your partner and then you all can run off together…”

“You did you know… that is not exactly what we are planning?” At that moment, Brother Jue’s voice came from above her. In that short few seconds, Brother Jue used Geppo to get close to the top of the few enormous crystalline pillars.

“Hmph… not bad.” The Silkworm Mother scoffed and then her body shook. Instantly all the threads revealed themselves again. Above the verdant Leaf of Terror, it was powdery white ocean. At the same time, the few large cocoons that dangled in the air started to shake… other than the human-shaped cocoon that contained Uncle Worthless, the other six strange cocoon exploded from within at that moment. Six giant and creatures of strange origin leaped down from the sky to block Feng Bujue from moving forward.

“Looks like she has prepared the stage…” Brother Jue looked at the large monsters that approached and said, “But… who said I am not?”

A flash of murderous intent crossed the pair of calm eyes. A blinding light brought forth a warrior spirt in purple and gold. Feng Bujue charged head on and activated Summoning—Bason. Instantly a large and powerful warrior spirit appeared behind him.

“Bason!” Brother Jue shouted.

“Yes!” Bason replied. Feng Bujue took out the military shovel from his inventory and crossed it before his chest like it was a broadsword. He aimed it at the air around him and unleashed the skill Chūka Zanmai. Bason’s mind was connected to Brother Jue. Golden light gathered in his arms and a real Crescent Blade materialized. Instantly, layers of blade overlapped over each other on the backdrop of a golden glow.

The six strange creatures that dropped from the sky were sliced into pieces. They were defenceless against the powerful attack and Brother Jue made quick work of them.

“Oh? There is someone so powerful among you…” The Silkworm Mother said darkly but the latter half of her sentence turned into a maddening roar. “Very good… I cannot wait to taste your ‘terror after mental breakdown’ anymore!” The roar was followed by a powerful and harsh shriek. “TSk—” This was technically the first time she had unleashed a direct and actual attack on the players. The ‘trills’ from the previous time they met was just a greeting, this one was the real deal.

“What the fuck!” When Atobe was hit, his heart squeezed and he blurted out the curse. Even though he was relatively far away from the Silkworm Mother, he was knocked back from the soundwave and almost tripped and fell. Pegasus on the other side though, was not as lucky as he was… Pegasus was standing much closer to the boss and thus he was greatly affected by the attack. Once the shriek started, he staggered back out of battle instinct before he crumbled to the ground. A chilling feeling soon crawled all over his nose and lips. He reached out to touch and his nose was running blood like an open dam.

“Qie… it’s an attack that affect the brain directly?” Ambitionist not far away quickly knelt down. Even though he could still stand, for the sake of security, he could to kneel down. What if he accidentally staggered and tripped from the Leaf of Terror and dropped into the web, then it would only cause more trouble.

“Plan B!” Suddenly Brother Jue yelped from the sky as he somersaulted into a fall.

“Oh? There’s a second plan?” Silkworm Mother chuckled coldly. “Let me guess… this plan B is to abandon the plan of splitting up to save your friend and all of you will focus your attack on me?”

“You are one high intelligent bug that is greatly annoying…” Feng Bujue sought out two grenades from his chest, yanked off the safety pin with his teeth and tossed them down. “Pfft… After I’m done with you… Dry wok, oil pan, stir fry… Just you wait and see!” One second later, with two loud booms, the two grenades exploded on the Silkworm Mother’s back. Brother Jue though use Void Steps to hover in the air so he was not dragged into the range of the explosion.

“what was that? Toys made from explosive and metal?” As the dust settled, the giant body of the Silkworm Mother which was unharmed revealed itself again. “He he… speaking of toys… have you forgotten something?” In that moment, Feng Bujue’s pupils shrunk as he noticed a very serious problem.

Tsk tsk tsk—

Blood squirted out like a blooming red flower. Brother Jue was attacked repeatedly on his back, even Bason who was made from spiritual energy dispersed by these attacks. He turned back to look and saw… these monsters that were chopped into pieces by Chūka Zanmai were all still moving. Even though their bodies were already hacked into pieces, they could still attack like machines.

“Bet you didn’t expect that, right? As long as the nerves on the body parts are not completely dead, even if only a single arm, no a single finger is left, I can use my thread to control them to move.” Silkworm Mother told Brother Jue proudly. “He he… I have observed by now that you are the most powerful among the group, yes? Their attacks are like scratches but yours… seems to able to bring me some entertainment.” She said as she controlled the broken pieces of the dead bodies to surround Brother Jue in the air. “Come, show me some of your skills. Entertain me, or else…”

“Don’t you dare look down on us, your disgusting bug!” Atobe’s aggrieved roar interrupted Silkworm Mother and successfully gained her attention.

“What did you just call me?” Silkworm Mother appeared to be very sensitive to the word ‘disgusting bug’ so much so that she gave up the attack on Brother Jue and used a speed that belied her big size to turn around to face Atobe. “If you dare… repeat it again, human.”

“You want me to repeat it how many times also can….” Atobe was gasping for air. Under the great pressure and fear, he steadied himself and stared right at the boss and said, “You are one hell of a disgusting bug… Just the sight of you makes me want to puke!” as the declaration continued, his voice continued to rise that the last few words were practically shouted out from the core of his body.

Atobe was not by any means a top player, at least not for now; he was not Feng Bujue and he was not people from Zombie Blade who relied on illegal drug. Atobe was just a normal person… When facing such bosses, he normally would be afraid. That was common human reaction… When facing this kind of monster that had the surreal and horrifying appearance of ghost, monsters, demons and such, as long as one was a normal human, they would be afraid. The reaction would be the same before a computer screen much less in a virtual reality simulation.

At that moment, facing a killing worm that was thicker than a train, it was not bad that Atobe was not shaking in his boots. That was because his brain kept on reminding him—this is just a game.

However, after shouting those two sentences out, he felt much better…

The fear, the pressure and the worry that his teammates might be killed appeared to be shouted away, trailing away into the air following his words. Perhaps… it was as they say, when you come up to face the thing that you fear, you would realize, it was really nothing more than a shadow enlarged in your mind…

“Damn you, worthless piece of shit…” Silkworm Mother was enraged. She lifted herself up high and then slammed down, intending to squeeze Atobe into meat paste.

“Qie… you’re not as fast as I thought.” Atobe skipped several steps back and narrowly avoided the body slam, he did not forget to leave a sarcastic comment.

“Ah—” The Silkworm Mother was truly incensed now. She wiggled her large body and charged suddenly forward; her round mouth gaped open to reveal a row of sharp teeth, she seemed to intend to swallow Atobe whole.

Huff huff huff—

Three strong and intense light arcs came from behind her and landed on the Silkworm Mother’s back.

“Do you think I’m dead?” Brother Jue’s voice began again. Naturally he was not dead but he was seriously injured. However, after he escaped from the encircling of the dead creatures, the first thing he did was to focus his attack on the boss. Unfortunately, Silkworm Mother practically shrugged off his three shot of Rankyaku and did not even slow down at all.

Thankfully…

“Aiz… it is because all of you people like to act on your own accord that we have to change the plan constantly…” Ambitionist raised his arm upwards with a silver cross in his hand. He used the skill “Seal of Soul Imprisonment”.
