Chapter 671: Ambushed
The Golden Mantis Body had absorbed most of the damage, but the shockwave from that impact still rippled through and shook up his internal organs. This enemy was turning out to be more difficult than he assumed. Sage threw out a metal disc, geometric shapes and unusual symbols lit up upon its surface, drawing power from Spirit Stones embedded at the center of the disc. The Formation Plate came to life, creating a massive dust storm that rose hundreds of feet into the air. The swirling winds of this instantaneous tornado were broken up by the treetops, but dirt and dust was still flung into the air, causing a massive commotion. Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.
At the same time, Sage brought out hundreds of insects. Even if they were pretty pathetic in direct combat, they still had plenty of uses. Small scent markers were launched out in different directions and a herd of Charming Lance Beetles rushed in the direction the arrows were coming from. At the same time, groups of Chameleon Mantids rushed out to the sides, to conduct a flanking maneuver while many Emerald Dragonflies flew up into the trees above him. They couldnt fly directly through the dust storm, so Sage didnt give them any orders. They acted on their own instincts, spreading themselves into the forest to get away from the dust storm.
As for Sage, he was already hopping into a hole on the ground, following behind one of the Warp Worms as dozens of them dug tunnels into every direction, somewhat compromising the strength of the forest floor, but also creating a labyrinth underground.
There was a string of sudden explosions, and the tunnel Sage was crawling through rumbled and he had to scramble forward to escape a collapse. This was definitely the most dangerous part of using Warp Worms. A scent did not spread nearly as well underground as it did in the open air, so it was far more difficult to direct the worms. It was far easier to breed them with specific ancestral memories to perform specific tasks when they were given a specific scent and then release them to work on their own. He couldnt just whistle them over and tell them to dig him out. Unfortunately, he was not linked to a Warp Worm right now to hide within, and he certainly didnt have a minute to sit and calmly raise another. He carefully dug his lower body out, pulling his legs free of the rocks and dirt and quickly shuttling down the small tunnel to escape from the collapsed area.
The swarm rushed closer, just in time to catch sight of their enemy. A figure in dark robes was standing upon the upper bough of one of the largest trees. They were holding a large piece of golden metal with so many embellishments upon it that it was hard to tell what it was. Only the presence of a string and the hand motion of the one using it gave away that it was a bow. Sage was just in time to see the person turning from left to right. To the left a solid wave spread into the distance, and the strum of their fingers launched a similar wave to the right. That wave spread rapidly, moving too fast to make out what it was until it made contact with something.
Arrows. Thousands of arrows.
Just as the Beetles suffered earlier, the mantids to either side were drowned by a wave of arrows, but the Chameleon Mantis did not have an absurdly thick and armored carapace like the Charming Lance Beetle. Those carefully concealed killers were shot dead in a single wave. Then the archer turned back towards the Charming Lance Beetles. Their fingers seemed to strike their bow like a harp and the closest beetle clattered to the ground, its large horn tipping into the dirt and cutting a small ditch as it slid forward. Then the dark robed figures arm started to wave and each time it did, one of the Lance Beetles was struck dead. Sages linked beetle let out one last order before it too was silenced, joining the others in death. The scent called the Emerald Dragonflies to the area, ordering them to build webs around the area the scent came from. They slowly gathered, flitting between the trees and threading Steelsilk between the boughs and limbs, or at least they were supposed to.
Sage had already lost his eyes above the surface.
