Chapter 295 - 296: Nemesis of The Swarm!
Around the Elf Illusion...
There were emerald Dragons of Life circling and winding around Vera’s Elf Illusion. They were not real creatures but were entities materialized from pure Life Energy.
Each dragon emitted a bright radiance, their scales shimmering with a jade-like luster.
Aster Grant saw this scene and decided to add fuel to the fire.
The higher Vera’s attributes, the stronger her capabilities become.
And to enhance strength...
"Soul-devouring!"
A deep voice sounded, and red spiritual power surged like a tide, instantly enveloping the entire area.
Vera, Veridia, Lazuli, and even Lilith in the distance were all encompassed within.
In an instant, the aura of all the Beastbond creatures began to rise violently, like a dormant volcano suddenly awakening.
The air was filled with the buzzing sound of energy turbulence, as if the entire space was trembling because of it.
The most astonishing change was in Vera.
A brilliant emerald light radiated from her body, with Life Energy circulating around her like a tangible substance.
The Dragons of Life that encircled her seemed to respond, letting out clear dragon roars, their forms becoming even more solid.

And under the Life Spirit Form, and the augmentation of Aster Grant’s Soul-devouring Talent...
Vera’s Spiritual Attribute reached 1280000, while other attributes reached the height of 800000.
Additionally, the surrounding Life Energy was so abundant that it transformed into visible green streams of light, continuously infusing into Vera.
With the augmentation of this power, her attributes skyrocketed again—
An increase of a million points!
Meanwhile, Veridia and Lazuli simultaneously unleashed their battle forms.
Black Ghost Qi and blood-red Fire of Destruction erupted suddenly.
However...
Their aura wasn’t as terrifying as Vera’s.
But such an aura, to the ordinary Monarch-Level insectoid...
Was enough to become their nightmare!
At this moment, Vera was suspended in mid-air, her long hair dancing like streamers of Life Energy.
Her aura had surged to its peak, her eyes a profound emerald.
She spoke softly, almost like a chant, like a proclamation:
"Reincarnation."
The giant elf illusion in the sky slowly opened its arms, with a solemn and sacred gesture, as if to embrace the entire sky and earth.
In an instant, within miles, insectoids seemed bound by an invisible shackle, all frozen in place.
Their screeches abruptly halted, their terrifying limbs frozen in mid-air, as if the entire battlefield had been put on pause.
Then, a horrifying transformation began—
From the sturdy black shells of the insectoids, out of nowhere, tender green shoots emerged.
The green spread and swelled at a speed visible to the eye, instantly transforming into flexible wild grass.
The grass blades unfurled, then bloomed with brightly colored flowers, as if spring had suddenly descended upon this battlefield of death.
Simultaneously, the bodies of the insectoids were withering and shrinking at an alarming rate.
Their shells lost their luster, limbs breaking like dry branches, even the Monarch-Level insectoids were not spared—
Under Vera’s "Reincarnation" imbued with the Law of Life, they were no different from the Low Tier insectoids, helplessly watching as their life was frantically extracted.
In just an instant, the entire battlefield transformed into a strange sea of flowers.
Countless flowers bloomed on the remnants of the insectoids, splendid yet sinister, like a grand and brutal funeral.
And in the next moment—
All the flowers simultaneously withered, petals flying like snow, transforming into specks of emerald light in the air.
This vast Life Energy, like a hundred rivers converging into the sea, rushed toward Vera, merging into her body, causing her aura to soar once more.
This is the true function of the Reincarnation skill!
In the distance, two Totem-Class insectoids stared intently at the battlefield.
Their expressions turned increasingly grim, their multifaceted eyes flickering with uncertainty.
"Damn!"
The voice of the green insectoid was hoarse and twisted, "Our Swarm... are we really going to be blocked here by an elf today?"
"Blocked? Impossible!"
The red insectoid’s eyes flashed with a hint of savage ferocity:
"She can absorb life, true, but with her current level, there must be a limit!"
"Could that human forcefully enhance her once, and do it again?"
It abruptly lifted its forelimb, pointing to the ever-expanding green domain, "This time, even if we pile up corpses, we’ll pile them through!"
"But... such losses..."
The green insectoid was still hesitant, watching the insect swarm in front turn to dust, its voice carrying a distinct hint of reluctance.
"Have you forgotten the orders of ’those Overlords’?"
The red insectoid interrupted harshly, its voice icy.
The figure of the green insectoid stiffened abruptly.
Yes, they were ordered to secure a foothold in this world, waiting for the Void channel to further stabilize, to welcome the true bodies of the Overlords.
If even this first line of defense could not be breached...
The last trace of hesitation in its eyes vanished completely, replaced by the characteristic coldness and cruelty of the Swarm:
"... As you command."
"Even if we have to pave our way with bodies, we’ll pave through!"
It raised its head abruptly, releasing a piercing shriek that pierced the battlefield—
"All units, charge!!"
The next moment, the dark swarm surged once more, like a breaking black flood, madly charging in Vera’s direction.
They trod over their comrades’ remains, disregarding the vanguard that continued to perish ahead, launching a suicidal charge with the purest and most savage numbers.
Vera’s emerald eyes remained calm, as she slowly raised both hands, fully deploying the Life Domain.
The emerald light suddenly surged, transforming into a barrier that connected heaven and earth, majestically spanning the battlefield.
Then—
The black tide of destruction clashed thunderously with the Bulwark of Life!
Countless insectoids began to wither, bloom, and wither upon entering the domain...
Yet the insectoids at the rear continued their relentless advance, unwavering.
And as the Totem-Level insectoids suspected, indeed—
Vera’s control over Life Energy had its limits.
However, this limit...
Under the Soul-devouring Talent of Aster Grant, had been infinitely elevated!
....
On a stretch of desolate and silent land, several authoritative voices emerged from the void—
These were high-tier insectoids almost imperceptible to the naked eye, communicating directly through will.
"The death rate of Low Tier subjects is abnormal... the resistance in that world far exceeds estimates."
"Could this indeed be a trap set by the Demon Clan?"
"Impossible! The Demon Clan is also rejected by world laws, unable to descend on a large scale—there must be another reason."
After brief but efficient mental communication, the original voice sounded again, indisputable:
"If so, continue sending in Low Tier insectoids—crush them with numbers."
"Understood!"
From all directions came numerous responding screeches, as if the entire desolate land awakened at that moment.
