Chapter 353: The Monarch of the Dark Society! (Two-in-one)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the huge pit, thunder arcs crackled.

A Thunder Bear stood upright, and like a ghost, a Shadow Dancer appeared behind the Thunder Bear and stabbed at the weak point of its armor a few times.

Dark-element energy lingered on the sword edge. It was enough to corrode the solid armor and weaken it in an instant.

It stabbed again.

The Shadow Dancer was very confident in its usual tactics.

However…

The moment the tip of the sword stabbed forward, dazzling lightning blossomed. The rich dark-element energy dissipated in an instant. The sharp… short sword that was a part of its own body and had been strengthened by the Solidification Technique seemed to be unable to penetrate the armor. With a clang, the Shadow Dancer’s blade arm went numb. Just as it was about to withdraw and hide, it discovered…

Thin thunder arcs were spreading from its arm to its entire body. The Shadow Dancer felt a numbing sensation, and its whole body froze, unable to move.

At this moment, the huge Thunder Bear turned its head…

Hu ~

Black flames attacked from the side, enveloping the entire deep pit.

It was the Bird of Death!

The Dark Society officer Miyamoto, who had been hiding in the shadows and observing, reacted very quickly. He commanded the Bird of Death to help, giving the Shadow Dancer a chance to escape.

Looking at the Shadow Dancer’s slowly fading figure, Miyamoto heaved a sigh of relief. The victorious smile returned to his face.

It made the direct subordinates of Miyamoto at the side calm down.

No matter what reinforcements the Union had, in front of the officer Miyamoto…

Sizzle—

Amidst the raging black flames, bluish-purple lightning pierced out like beams of light, wrapping around in mid-air and turning into a large net.

The net was cast!

Amidst the thunder, a black figure was seen to be struggling in the lightning net as it was forcefully suppressed.

Then, a palm strike came from the Big Fat Bear.

Lightning lingered!

One Palm Thunder Bear!

Sizzle—

The fan-sized Thunder Palm hit the Shadow Dancer, who was barely in a defensive posture. A large ball of lightning emerged, wrapped around the Shadow Dancer’s body, and flew out like a cannonball. With a bang, it collapsed two building platforms and caused a sudden explosion. Thick thunderbolts kept emerging and jumping around with the Shadow Dancer at the center, blasting out several holes in the surroundings.

Two to three seconds later, the dense thunder arc finally dissipated. On the charred ground lay a Shadow Dancer who couldn’t even twitch anymore.

“What the f*ck!?”

“What the f*ck!?”

The exclamations carried a different tone.

On the Union’s side, Sprite Trainers like Tie Yu and Tong Jia exclaimed in awe.

But the members of the Dark Society sounded as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

Their originally high morale instantly hit rock bottom.

After all, even officer Miyamoto’s trump card had been insta-killed. What were they going to use to fight now?

“Attack! Heavy-duty sprites, stand in the front row and attack remotely!”

The Bird of Death scattered dark flames.

The Nightmare Terror’s eyes lit up slightly. It wanted to cast an illusion on the Thunder Bear.

Illusion resistance was one of the Big Fat Bear’s weaknesses.

But that was a long time ago…

“Howl!”

A huge Thunder Bear head phantom appeared in mid-air.

Rings of sound waves manifested amidst the confusion.

The Big Fat Bear suddenly stomped on the ground. In an instant, lightning surrounded it as it wrapped it into a ball and rushed into the sky.

It directly broke through the countless energy unique skills that attacked.

Boom!!

Smoke and dust filled the air as energy flowed everywhere.

A flying sprite, charred black from the electricity, fell from the sky.

The Bird of Death pulled away from its position and tried to get away in horror, but the speed of the thunder ball became faster and faster, expanding in its vision until it hit.

Boom!

A ball of dazzling lightning blossomed in the air.

Amidst the lightning, there were banging sounds and sharp thunder sounds.

Shortly after, the Bird of Death also fell from the sky.

Even though it was too dark to see any charred marks, its aura was already fading and it seemed like it was on the verge of death.

After losing two main forces in succession, even Miyamoto, a officer who was considered the crazy type in the Dark Society, didn’t dare to continue attacking.

With a dark expression, he squeezed out a word from his mouth. “Retreat!”

The Dark Society sprites immediately scattered.

Even though the Big Fat Bear’s damage output was extremely high, it couldn’t control the situation with the Black Society sprites fleeing in different directions. It could only throw out long and thick Thunder Chains and hope that it catches as many as possible.

Most of the sprites and the Dark Society Sprite Trainers who had long hidden themselves finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Suddenly…

Suddenly, the sky brightened in the dark valley.

At some point, dazzling stars appeared in mid-air and smashed down. Like missiles, they drew different trajectories in the air and locked onto sprites.

Boom, boom, boom, boom—!!!

Under the shining stars,

A sprite wearing a black and white dress and a half face mask came over from afar.

As the sprite descended in the air, it walked as if there was an invisible flight of stairs

Occasionally, when it encountered one or two sprites that were still struggling, it would throw out Energy Balls mixed with black and white, blowing the sprites up and blasting huge holes in the ground.

Many Dark Society members hidden in the dark were also forced out under the indiscriminate bombardment.

Their protective barriers flickered.

The members of the Dark Society looked horrified. They looked at the other sprites slowly being cornered as they struggled.

Some of them quickly squatted down and covered their heads.

“We surrender. Please show mercy!”

…

“Two officers, in quantitative terms, my mission at this time is almost completed.”

Of course, Su Hao had already met the conditions for the mission to be considered as ‘qualified’.

The conditions for the assessment mission were the same as the conditions for any other normal missions

Also, the contribution points given would be calculated based on results.

In the mission to annihilate the Dark Society, Su Hao would get the largest share of contribution points since he was the leader. However, there were huge differences between the ‘qualified’ evaluation, ‘good’ evaluation, and ‘outstanding’ evaluation…

Especially…

“Dazed Crow and the others will begin to evolve in no time. I have to save as much money as I can for the remaining main materials.”

Dark Society leader, Dark Society officer…

All of them would earn me a lot of contribution points!

Even if Su Hao wanted to let them go, he couldn’t because of the money involved.

…

Ten minutes ago.

Underneath the ground.

“Gurgle~?”

Butterfly’s illusionary figure emerged from the roof of the tunnel. It scanned its surroundings with its perception, and its big eyes lit up.

The butterfly wings trembled slightly. Its palm-sized body danced in the underground tunnel like a light leaf.

Whether it was the wooden door or the metal door, which had seeped into the door of special materials, none of them could stop Butterfly from passing through.

Only the barrier screen could stop Butterfly.

But not these doors.

“Gurgle ~”

It widened its eyes and observed its surroundings, remembering everything it saw.

Its little face was filled with anger.

At this moment, Butterfly was underground in a laboratory.

There were many instruments and devices that it was familiar with here, but there were also many that it had never seen before.

Some body organs were suspended in storage units.

There were human organs and also sprite organs.

There were also many things that had already been destroyed… destroyed by members of the Dark Society to conceal the secrets here.

“Gurgle!”

Butterfly puffed up its face and continued flying forward.

A few Sprite Trainers who looked panicked fleed when Butterfly appeared in front of them.

Butterfly’s eyes widened.

A protective halo appeared around the bodies of the few Black Association Sprite Trainers, then quickly disappeared and shattered.

Before they could raise their hands to summon their sprites, their whole bodies had already frozen on the spot.

Only their eyes were still open.

After a while…

The few Sprite Trainers fell one by one.

Butterfly shook its head and continued flying forward.

The underground space of this stronghold was very large, roughly divided into experimental areas, detention areas, and materials areas.

At this moment…

In the prison area, many men and women in ragged clothes with frozen expressions were listening to the sudden sharp alarm. A hint of hope appeared on their desperate faces when they saw Butterfly.

They were all Sprite Trainers that riskily explored Area 096.

They were subsequently attacked by members of the Dark Society and captured here.

From then on, their nightmares began.

Many people who were imprisoned like them were taken away by the Sprite Trainers of the Dark Society and never returned.

Originally, they were in despair, but today…

The alarm rang. The expressions of several medium-level Black Society Sprite Trainers guarding the holding area changed suddenly.

One of them took out his communication device and called, but there was no response.

“What should we do?”

“Get rid of the people here, and then we’ll leave!”

A captain-level Dark Society member with a ruthless expression.

With a command, the Tyrant Bear, which was more than three meters tall, walked towards the prisoners.

Tyrant Bear’s strength wasn’t strong, only at the mid-level elite level.

But these prisoners had already lost their sprites. Even if they were facing entry-level ones, they couldn’t resist due to the lack of power.

The hope on their faces turned into despair again.

Bang!

The door exploded into pieces.

Amidst the flying fragments, a few emerald green energy balls flew over with a whoosh and accurately hit every sprite in the prison area.

With a boom, Tyrant Bear and the other sprites flew out heavily and landed on the ground, completely unconscious.

Only then did the few Dark Society Sprite Trainers guarding the area react. The protective halo appeared outside their bodies but disappeared again in an instant. They fell down with their sprites and fell asleep.

At this moment, Butterfly flew in from the shattered door. Its figure landed in the eyes of the dozens of prisoners.

They swallowed their saliva. There was hope and fear in all of their eyes.

Butterfly could naturally sense these emotions dissipating.

It could roughly tell even from their faces.

Butterfly pinched its chin and started to think.

These people needed to be protected.

But time was running out, and it couldn’t stay here forever.

“Got it, gurgle ~!”

A small white ball flew out of Butterfly’s green hair. With a snap of its fingers, the white ball returned to its original form and became the size of a fist.

The precious ball was sparkling and emitting a faint light.

Wisps of gray smoke flew out from the Mirage Energy Pearl hanging on its body and lingered around the precious ball.

In just a while, a normal size Butterfly Fairy was constructed with a white ball as the core.

Wisps of extraordinary pressure dissipated.

Butterfly curled its fingers again. The mist condensed in mid-air and turned into words.

“Stay here and don’t move. Butterfly will come back after catching a few people.”

“Well… someone else will come and save you soon, gurgle ~!”

“Just don’t run around, gurgle ~!”

The misty text appeared in the air for more than ten seconds before slowly dissipating.

Butterfly’s original body, which was the size of a palm, flew out of this empty cell with a whoosh and disappeared.

Only an emotionless incarnation butterfly was left to guard the helpless trainers.

…

“Gurgle ~!”

Butterfly flew in the tunnel. Everywhere it passed, regardless of whether it was humans or sprites, they fell with a bang.

From time to time, it sensed the situation of the butterfly incarnation.

It didn’t detect a problem.

Occasionally, there would be one or two Black Association Sprite Trainers who would dart past. However, Butterfly could get rid of them effortlessly by turning them into butterflies.

Such an incarnation possessed 50 to 60% of Butterfly’s strength, and the energy reserves were the same as its main body. It could also continuously absorb heaven and earth spiritual force to replenish itself and maintain its endurance…

Butterfly was quite confident with its incarnation.

Under normal circumstances, it was good enough.

If it wasn’t good enough, it could also swap positions with its incarnation at any time.

In short, there was no problem.

“Gurgle ~”

It was just that Butterfly felt a bit troubled as it hadn’t caught a big fish all this while…

The passage here was as complicated as a maze. Butterfly’s little face puffed up like a puffer fish. The members of the Dark Society that it caught, however, were in an even worse state.

The ear-piercing alarm and the occasional explosion sounded like a symphony.

More Dark Society Sprite Trainers and sprites fell silently and sank.

…

In the valley.

Su Hao was also constantly searching. He had gone underground.

He walked on a proper path, but because the door was blocked, he had to use some methods to break through the metal door blocking the way.

He walked underneath the ground.

“But why haven’t I seen any Dark Society members? Am I that intimidating?”

As he thought this, footsteps came from another passage around the corner.

Many figures appeared.

Some were wearing white coats, dressed like researchers.

There were also some who wore black battle suits, looking like elite members of the Dark Society.

They didn’t look like small fries.

They also saw Su Hao, but their footsteps didn’t stop. The men in black escorted a few middle-aged bald researchers in white coats to the side.

The only master-level Sprite Trainer in the group revealed a sinister smile. “I’ll kill him, I won’t give him the chance to tell the others!”

Before his voice fell, a Sword Thorn assassin rushed in front of Su Hao.

Its sharp claws stabbed out.

The battle style of the Dark Society had always been to kill Sprite Trainers first regardless of what sprites they had.

The defender would have to either sacrifice their protective barrier or to summon their sprite as a meat shield.

If the defender chose the latter, then the Dark Society members would be able to use the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the defending sprite.

But the Sprite Trainer in front of them didn’t do any of those things.

They were joyfully surprised by this.

Facing the Sword Thorn Assassin that suddenly attacked, Su Hao didn’t panic at all, he only raised his hand…

Hmm, his hand?

Suddenly, a black figure with an unclear face appeared behind Su Hao.

The black figure also raised its hand, as if repeating Su Hao’s action.

In an instant—

Black gas burst forth, and the Sword Thorn Assassin, who had just rushed forward, flew backward at an even faster speed, its body filled with extreme pain.

“What, what happened?”

“He’s a tough nut to crack!”

In the team, a big man with a beard of unknown nationality narrowed his eyes.

He wasn’t speaking in the Dragon Nation language.

Su Hao still understood. He looked at a Sandstorm Giant Scorpion not far away, which was approaching step by step and exuding pseudo monarch pressure. The Giant Scorpion had unique patterns on its body…

Su Hao raised his hand and aimed his palm at the giant scorpion.

The shadow behind him appeared, and its appearance was now clearer. The crown on its head emitted a dignified aura, like a king…

He slowly stretched out his hand!

Death penalty!

Boom!

The whole tunnel was filled with creepy shadows. All the light and equipment exploded in an instant.

Darkness enveloped the area, and explosions sounded from time to time.

The members of the Dark Society were alert and on guard. A fatal sense of danger lingered above their heads and they didn’t dare to move rashly.

After some time…

The shadows disappeared, and the whole passage had already widened several times.

The hard walls and ceiling had disappeared, revealing the ground and brown rocks.

The area was full of holes.

In the darkness, Su Hao stretched his right arm forward, pressed down, and held his palm in the air.

Not far away, the Sandstorm Giant Scorpion, which was covered in purple demonic patterns, was being pressed down by a big hand of black gas. Its hard carapace was cracking, with spider web-like traces.

It screamed in pain and its aura was weak.

A few sprites that were closer to the scorpion were still lying on the ground. They were still afraid of moving.

They still didn’t understand what kind of sprite the black shadow behind the Union youth was?

They also didn’t know what level it was…

Even the officer, Agumu, widened his eyes and felt a little powerless.

Because he was still confused as to how the Sandstorm Giant Scorpion lost!

Moreover, he only had one pseudo monarch sprite!

Just as he was about to order his men to slowly retreat…

Emerald green energy balls flew out behind Agumu.

Amidst the rumbling explosions, sprites fell one after another.

But there were clearly only five Energy Balls that hit five sprites. Why did eleven fall?

What kind of sprite were they dealing with?!

Agumu’s expression was solemn.

Even though he only glanced back with very subtle movements, Butterfly still caught a glance of his face.

“The bald researcher in the middle must be an important figure.”

Su Hao pondered.

In order to prevent the other party from acting rashly, Su Hao didn’t go too hard on Agumu. He pretended that they were in a deadlock and let Butterfly secretly cast illusion imprints.

Time passed…

Before long, an Union team appeared.

It was the team led by an instructor from Rain Forest University. They had also fought their way here, and many of their sprites were injured.

Seeing the confrontation in front of them, they quickly commanded their sprites…

“Wait!”

“Retreat!”

The instructor of Rain Forest University was stunned.

But knowing Su Hao’s identity, they still obeyed and commanded their sprites to retreat.

The next moment…

Boom!

The ground trembled, and countless rocks flew out. A huge sprite emerged from the ground.

Its body was brown, and just the part that drilled out of the ground was more than ten to twenty meters long. Its body was surrounded by gravel, and there were two horns on its head, one long and one short.

They were dragon-like horns!

As soon as it appeared, a terrifying pressure spread out. Like a hurricane, it swept through the vast underground space, pressing down so hard that no matter which side a sprite was on,it would be affected and be at a loss of breath.

The weaker ones even fainted on the spot.

The instructor of Rain Forest University widened his eyes and couldn’t help but take a step back.

Fear pressed down on his heart.

It was a monarch!

It was a monarch rank Sand Earthworm Dragon!
