Chapter 740 – Cory’s Power
Chapter 740 – Korie Goes Mighty
Neither Agu nor Kagome had expected the chaos in Caucusite City to reach this side of town so quickly.
Rather, it was Anne who, because of her peculiarly sharp perception of vibrations after arming her spirit body, had foreseen the coming crisis, and that was why she had the time to pull Korie.
As for Agu, they could only let him fend for himself.
“You’ll take Ms. Korie to exit the town first?” Agu took off in a lumbering fashion, but his thigh was still bruised a bit.
As a conscious body, that is, a strengthened existence of the soul, this little injury would naturally heal quickly.
But Agu found a suspected contaminating toxin in the wound.
This toxin was not very toxic and would barely affect him, but it was unexpectedly stubborn.
Agu was still dodging branches that had burrowed out of the ground, and for a moment there was no way to concentrate on expelling the toxin.
“Careful, there’s poison in the branches!”
He could only remind Anne to watch out for Kagome first.
Hearing Agu’s reminder, An immediately tensed up.
The master had entrusted Ms. Korie to her, and although she didn’t show much on the surface, in her heart she was determined not to let Korie get hurt even a little bit.
So An immediately turned into her spider form, her eight spider legs were like sharp scythes, ready to slice all the enemies that came near into several pieces.
However, while An was fully concentrating on protecting Kagome, she suddenly felt an extremely special magic power coming from behind her.
At the same time, Korie pressed one hand on Anne’s back, “Don’t you move.”
Looking at the branch that was about to pierce through her, An only hesitated for a split second, but decided to listen to Korrie’s instructions and did not attack or defend.
Seeing that the sharp and toxin-carrying branch was about to pierce the two of them, Kagome’s long red hair suddenly floated up.
An unseen force then bypassed Ani and Agu and met the branches that surrounded them.
The branches that were about to pierce Anne’s body turned black and crumbled into powder in an instant.
Not only the branches in front of An, a blank area was cleared with a diameter of thirty meters with Korie at the center.
Whether it was Anne or Agu who was a bit further away, they were all shocked by this clearing operation of Kagome’s.
Although they have seen more powerful attacks than this, but Keri is only a first-rank senior sorcerer ah!
Surprisingly, she was already able to do a field clearing type of sorcery that only second-ranked sorcerers had.
And the effect of the attack was quite overbearing!
The most important thing was that none of them had seen this sorcery before, and they couldn’t even tell what attribute it was for a moment!
“Can I move now?” Looking at the ground full of crushed branches as if they had been struck by lightning, An asked cautiously.
“Yes!” Slightly smug, Korie withdrew her hands and her flowing hair fell, “I can’t get around a moving target with this move yet, so once I say you can’t move, don’t move!”
Agu also swept a complicated look at Kagome, but didn’t ask anything more.
He landed next to Korrie and Anne and said to the two, “Very well, while you’re at it get out of here and head further east.”
“No.” Korrie stepped forward, “Saul is still waiting for us to activate the auxiliary sorcery spell formations on the periphery, even if you’re prepared to stay, it’s too dangerous to guard this place alone.”
Agu hesitated for a moment.
Judging from the attack sorcery that Korrie had just performed, it was indeed appropriate to guard next to the auxiliary spell formation, but he was worried that the enemy was too powerful and not to hurt Korrie.
From Agu’s intuition and his observations of the city of Cauldrest, the attack of these branches was nothing more than the beginning of a disaster.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound around the three of them.
They hurriedly looked vigilantly and saw the human-headed caterpillar, which had disappeared earlier, burrowing out of the cracks in the ground.
Most of these caterpillar heads belonged to old people, and there were only a few young people.
They looked at the three of Kore-chan with wide eyes, completely losing their human sanity, like a bunch of wild beasts.
The two human-headed caterpillars at the head of the group were the same two that Kagome had seen in the uninhabited town.
“These bugs, they couldn’t have been turned by the residents here, could they?” Anne stomped her foot with a displeased look, “The owner of that Kaukoust City doesn’t leave the people in the city alone, but also turns all the ordinary people in the surrounding area into monsters as well. What the hell are they trying to do?”
These human-headed caterpillars crawled towards the trio with a shrug, while the three of them, Korie, stood guard in front of the auxiliary spell and did not retreat.
Seeing that the enemies were about to crawl into Kagome’s thirty meter attack range, Kagome’s red hair once again floated up, her magic power running as she concocted a new round of sorcery.
But before they could enter the thirty meter range, those human-headed caterpillars on the opposite side suddenly raised their heads again and spat out strings of insect silk at them.
Instead of shooting at them, these insect filaments were sprayed on the land around the three. It seemed like they were trying to encircle them in a circle with the worm silk.
The more the bug silk was spat out, the faster it got, and in a few breaths it had actually surrounded a half-meter high wall of bug silk.
“Are they trying to trap us here?”
An said in a deep voice, “I’m afraid it’s more than that, it seems like they’re preparing to spit out silk to form a cocoon and wrap us inside.”
She directly pulled off a spider leg and threw it like a short spear.
The sharp tip sliced through the air and pierced the wall of insect silk with a whoosh.
However, the seemingly fragile bug silk wall was not pierced, and the spider leg that Ann had thrown over did not disappear, it was directly stuck to it.
Seeing this, Agu directly cast a fireball spell.
However, strangely enough, the blazing fireball actually stuck to the bug silk wall as well.
It was completely against common sense.
Because the other party had not entered the thirty meter attack range, Korie had been unable to release the sorcery on her end.
Maintaining her sorcery in a state of pending excitation, she gasped a little, “That’s not a worm silk in the purely physical sense.”
Agu’s face was grave, “If we get stuck ……”
Ann immediately turns her head to Kori, “Ms. Kori, we’d better retreat first.”
“Yes!” Keri immediately nodded her head.
It was time to show off and wimp out.
Kagome wasn’t torn at all.
Agu remained where he was, “You guys go first, I’ll wait here for my master’s orders.”
In any case, someone must be responsible for activating the auxiliary sorcery spell array that Sol had placed here.
An wanted to exchange tasks with Agu, but the latter remained standing closest to the worm silk and did not step back.
Time did not allow one to continue arguing, An once again grabbed Korie’s arm, and was ready to escape from this place while the worm silk was still closed.
Just as the two of them were about to fly out of the wall of bug silk encircling them first, they suddenly realized that a dark green shadowy cloud had appeared above those caterpillars.
That green gloomy cloud did not know when it had landed to a place less than ten meters from the ground, and then water droplets dripped from it, as if it was raining.
Only that rainwater was also dark green, and it also had a fishy odor of stinky fish and shrimp.
The rain dripped on the human-headed caterpillars below and immediately corroded a large hole in their bodies.
Soon the human head caterpillars all over the ground were corroded into puddles of slime.
It looked as disgusting as vomit.
And it was only after these human head caterpillars were killed that Korie realized that the walls of bug silk around them had all disappeared in an instant.
And Anne’s spider legs appeared further away, stuck in the ground.
The fireball spell released by Agu also scorched a nearby patch of land.
Kori inhaled and choked on the fishy odor again.
“Ahem, it’s an illusion. Cough, not just an illusion. I’m afraid that if Anne and I had tried to fly out of the worm silk just now, we would have felt like we hadn’t flown through it and were still stuck to it.”
Agu nodded his head as well, “Yes, these bugs are casting a wall in our minds that we can’t escape from.”
“No wonder they can shoot so far and so fast!” Anne gritted her teeth, “Surprisingly mixing physical and spiritual attacks, too treacherous!”
“Are you guys alright?”
Looking at the three of them all spitting out bug silk, the person who had stepped in to save them had been unable to wait for words of thanks, and no one had even discussed his venomous cloud of rain.
He had no choice but to silently step out of the shadows and greet the three Kagome’s while caring for them mentally.
Finally waiting for the person who had struck out to show up of his own accord, Agu immediately turned around, “Thank you, my lord, for saving us just now ……”
Just after saying his first words, Agu’s voice disappeared.
He looked at the special sorcerer’s robe that the person who came was wearing, and his heart thumped.
The sorcerer who had just helped them …… was actually someone from the Ruling Court!
