In the middle of the volcanic ice of Yin Sky Island, the Queen Ice Fiend Locust, and her twelve royals suddenly felt something amiss, and their instincts activated in alarm.
The Queen Ice Fiend Locust finally averted her eye from above and looked around with disbelief and confusion. She could completely monitor every inch of Yin Sky Island, and there was no intruder here; after all, there was no stealth work here.
After the Yin Sky Island was an unknown treasure that could make 'Yin Ice', and this was also the Queen Ice Fiend Locust's birthplace. Ever since she opened her eyes to this world, she was always connected with Yin Sky Island, and as her power increased, she took full control of Yin Sky Island.
This was not only a defensive treasure against spiritual attacks, but it could also defend against physical attacks and reduce 70% of damage from magical attacks. It had never been breached before, and it was her biggest life assurance.
Yet now, all of a sudden, for the first time in hundreds of years, a sense of dread suddenly enveloped her as if her life was coming to an end, which was even more baffling.
Not only she but even her most powerful children were feeling uneasy. Without any command, they were already emitting their aura and vigilantly protecting their queen. Right at this moment, before the Queen Ice Fiend Locust could even make sense of the situation, right in front of her eye, the space suddenly seemed to have trembled before a tiny round object suddenly appeared before her glowing eye. It was a bullet slug that seemed ever-changing, churning as if it was made with countless particles and glowing in a blue hue, and it seemed to be growing!
Not only her but the twelve peak inspection legend locusts also saw the same bullet slug before their eyes.
However, they could only glance at its afterimage before it directly pierced through their eye membranes.
"Shoo..."
A small sonic bomb rang in front of everyone's face, making their heads spring back. However, despite the attack successfully landing, it only left tiny holes in their multifaceted eyes. No doubt it was painful, but that doesn't matter now because someone had managed to break past all the defensive and successfully wound them, even the Queen!
"Who...hikkkasaaaa..." Before the Queen Ice Fiend Locust could utter, she suddenly let out a painful screech as her head suddenly started to glow a blue hue and inflate.
The twelve royals reacted when they sensed their queen's deep crisis, but their heads started to inflate as well, encased in a blue hue.
"Bang, bang, bang...."
The very next moment, one after another, their heads started to pop up like a volcano, creating massive explosions and powerful shockwaves.
The last thing the Queen Ice Fiend Locust saw was that all of her top guards' heads turned into meat mush, and she was in so much as her entire life flashed past her eyes; she knew she had made a huge mistake in her calculations.
She overestimated herself by thinking she was safe in Yin Sky Island and could retreat anything. She was thoroughly mistaken when she thought everything was under her control and that she would unleash horrors upon her enemy.
Only now, a hint of clarity appeared in her mind when she was about to die without even knowing why; she could finally see through her flaw, and all that pain and unwillingness suddenly turned into a calm relief.
"Run...Boom!"
As she issued her final order to all her remaining children, her head finally exploded in a powerful blue explosion.
The moment the Queen Ice Fiend Locust died, millions of locusts, those guarding the island or those coming back, suddenly jolted as the intelligence in their eyes turned into savagery. Only a single thought left in their heads, which was also their mother's final command to them.
They instantly scattered without hesitation in all directions like a bee hive that had lost its nest.
Not only that, but Yin Sky Island suddenly trembled when it lost its owner and started to fall from the sky as the surrounding fog scattered.
"Are you seeing this?"
Not far away, a few figures in dark cloaks were closely watching the entire scene with a huge mirror. One of them exclaimed in disbelief when the island suddenly started to fall and millions of locusts scattered, as their previously strong killing intent suddenly vanished.
"Don't tell me that person really succeeded just like that? Not even half an hour has passed since he left for his 'big hunt,' and it is over just like that?" A hoarse voice muttered in disbelief and a hint of fear.
"It's either that or the Locust Queen is playing a terrifying game by using herself as a bait to lure the fish." A tall man solemnly stated, "But with our data on her, I don't think she would take such a risk. After all, since her race as the Ice Fiend Locust had been exposed, any who had any record of this race would know that she had virtually not defense, even a common rank could kill her. So, we can assume that our target has struck, and he struck hard, surpassing everyone's expectations.
"Nonetheless, as long as he isn't a true Legendary Rank, there is no need to be afraid of him. We have made enough preparation for even a Legendary Rank might be gravely injured." He declared with confidence.
Then he looked towards the nine people cloaked around him and coldly said, "Gentleman, it's time to reel in the net. We had ample time to prepare for this, and everyone would get rewards if we caught the big fish. Before that, I would like to remind everyone that don't be selfish, at least not until the target is dealt with. Or I don't want to remind you of the consequence, not to mention you all just saw how mysterious and dreadful his prowess is.
"Let's move out!" He solemnly stated before everyone vanished for their hidden spot.
Furthermore, behind them were thousands of cloaked figures standing there like arranged soldiers, but there was something eerie about them.
The moment those people left, under these men's feet, light golden disks suddenly shimmered before they all started to float, and the next moment, the golden disks shimmered again before they all vanished into the darkness of night!
