1948 Chapter 1948. Trapped
Beelzebub was still wondering about the possibility when he sensed sothing coming at him from behind. He turned back and saw Giant Steve barging through his bugs using Shield Charge. His earth shield went and blocked Steve when he arrived.
Giant Steve's charge was stopped, but he didn't end his assault. He used Shield Bash and slapped the earth shield away. Beelzebub's six long legs ca out and stabbed at Steve. Steve blocked the stabs using his shield and retaliated using his hamr.
Beelzebub looked behind Steve and saw countless starlights rained upon his bugs. This starlight exploded upon contact. The explosions incapacitated his bugs. This was how Steve could co at him. He turned and saw it was the Celestial Moth that was responsible for the starlights.
Jet and his Brave Lion were also coming his way. The bugs swarming them were also stalled by the starlights.
Beelzebub was about to cast a spell to deal with Jet and his pet when a flash of light caught his attention. This flash of light ca from Fierce Fla's direction. The two earth shields ca together to stop this light. But when the light touched them, both earth shields were destroyed.
The light had been so fast Beelzebub had no choice but to cancel his spell and change it to Magic Shield. However, the magic shield was also destroyed. The light stabbed into him. Even the sand suit covering his body dispersed at the point of impact.
The flash of light was Dead Eye Ace's level 90 skill, the Arrow of God. This skill was a single-target offensive skill. It had a high chance of piercing power against barriers. Any barriers it pierced through had a chance of getting dispelled. The dispersion of Beelzebub's sand suit didn't stop at the point of impact. The sand suit continued to unravel until it was gone altogether.
Beelzebub received high damage from the shot, but Fierce Fla had another purpose for her shot. It was to disrupt the devil so Jet could land his attack.
Jet and his Brave Lion combined into a teor again, just like when they used Combination Assault. However, this was not Beastmaster's Combination Assault. This was Beast Conqueror's level 70 skill, Final Combination Assault.
This skill was a much stronger version of Beastmaster's Combination Assault. Aside from dealing much higher damage, it also possessed strong knockback power. After carrying out this skill, both Jet and his pet received a boost to their stats for a limited ti.
The Final Combination Assault slamd into Beelzebub, who had lost his protection. He could not resist the knockback force. He staggered back. He could sense he was about to fall into the invisible rune diagram. His six long legs stabbed into the ground, forcing himself to stop before he entered.
08:38
A piercing shriek was heard close by. He looked up and saw the Hieracosphynx ramd into his face. The Hieracosphynx was diving at full speed. Its body blow finally pushed Beelzebub into the invisible rune diagram. The ground under the devil flared.
A circular wall of light went upward in pillar shape with Beelzebub inside. The pillar surface was filled with runic symbols. Beelzebub stabbed one of his legs into this wall of light. The tip of his sharp leg pierced through but couldn't go far. A powerful force pushed his leg back.
"A confinent rune diagram…," Beelzebub muttered.
"Hahahaha…!"
Loud laughter sounded from the side. Beelzebub turned to the source of the laughter and saw three outworlders there, two female and one male. The one laughing was the male.
That male was John. "Hahaha! That's what you get for being cocky. You look down on us. You don't even bother to fly. You refuse to personally get into a confrontation and leave everything to your minions. That's how you got trapped!"
The two won behind John were Purple Mist and Trinity Dawn. The two rolled their eyes after hearing John's remark. 'You should truly look in the mirror once in a while,' the two thought.
"Do you think this weak rune diagram can hold ?" Beelzebub asked. His six sharp legs stabbed in different directions. He pushed outward. The runic symbols along the wall of light flickered greatly.
"Ugh…!" Trinity Dawn appeared struggling.
The confinent rune diagram was hers. It was the one Jack had given her, the Field Prison rune diagram. Trinity Dawn was originally at the Hydrurond Southern Front with the other mbers of Everlasting Heavenly Legends. She was here because John called her to co. John wished to use her rune diagram to pin the devil down.
Normally, the Field Prison rune diagram could confine a target for twenty-four hours. But against soone like Beelzebub, they would be lucky to confine him for a minute.
Luckily, Trinity Dawn was among those who had a good improvent in learning mana manipulation. Like John, she focused more on mana manipulation than martial arts. After learning the Field Prison rune diagram, she trained to use mana manipulation to boost its power. She was now channeling her energy as Beelzebub tried to break through. Her MP went down at a fast rate as a result.
She activated Improved Heightened State, a stronger version of Heightened State evolved using an empower seed. The Improved Heightened State increased the regeneration of her MP and lengthened the spell's duration. She also drank a Greater Energy Potion to recover her MP.
Beelzebub was surprised when the wall of light refused to let him out. Fierce Fla, Jet, the Brave Lion, Steve, and the Hieracosphynx resud attacking him again.
As for the bugs he had summoned earlier, the Celestial Moth was deterring them. The Celestial Moth used a buff spell that transford his standard attacks into rapid AOE attacks that dealt soul damage. The moth beca a bomber that bombarded the bugs with terrifying efficiency. The bugs were mostly composed of basic and elite grades. They didn't have much HP.
Without interference from the bugs, Jet and the others freely attacked Beelzebub. Their assaults caused Beelzebub to be unable to focus on breaking out. This eased up the pressure on Trinity Dawn.
"You, worthless insects! How dare you!"
Beelzebub's carapace opened again. The cavities that opened in his body were wider than before. Out of those cavities, bigger demonic insects crawled out. Trinity's Field Prison only trapped one target, so it didn't affect the bugs coming out of Beelzebub. These bugs were free to move.
Several types of demonic insects ca out of Beelzebub's body.
One was demonic scorpions. These scorpions had green carapaces. Each of their attacks had a chance to inflict Poison Status. Their tails could shoot out green lightning to paralyze enemies.
Another type was large insects that were a cross between a spider and a caterpillar. They had large bellies with spider legs but long upper bodies of caterpillars. Their upper bodies were upright, and they slamd these upperbodies into their opponents like sledgehamrs. After the slam, their long upper bodies wrapped around their targets and incapacitated them.
A third type was giant hornets with demonic heads. They had high maneuverability in flight and shot stings for long-range attacks. Those stings caused ice damage. The demon hornets could also discharge a stream of ice breath that might cause the Freeze status effect.
The grades of these demon insects were special elites and rare elites.
John had information about these demon insects from Hope's Knowledge. He sent this info to everyone via party chat.
Jet, who had retreated when this crowd of giant bugs rushed out of Beelzebub, yelled, "You called a flock of pests? Then I will call a flock of beasts!"
A large pack of iron mammoths materialized near Jet once he finished yelling. These iron mammoths were the sa as the ones Jack summoned when he used Beast Monarch's Iron Mammoth Stampede. The difference was while Iron Mammoth Stampede summoned twenty iron mammoths, Jet's one summoned one hundred!
Jet's skill was called the Ultimate Stampede. It was Beast Conqueror's level 80 skill. Aside from summoning way more iron mammoths, this skill lasted much longer. Jack's Iron Mammoth Stampede lasted four minutes, and this was already considering the double duration effect from his Superior Amulet of Summoning. As for the Ultimate Stampede, it lasted one hour!
Furthermore, this skill was not limited to iron mammoths. The skill summoned iron mammoths because it was used on land. Depending on the environnt, the skill summoned different monsters. Using this skill underwater summoned a legion of one hundred Blood Sharks. If used in the sky, it summoned one hundred Sky Dragonets.
The one hundred iron mammoths didn't waste ti rampaging upon the demon insects. In terms of raw power, the insects posed no challenge to these iron mammoths. They stumbled as the iron mammoths crashed into them. These iron mammoths also had high defense and resistance. They cared little as the demon insects stung and bit them. They continued to advance, pushing the demon insects away.
In a short ti, the area around Beelzebub was cleared again. Jet and the others resud their attacks.
Beelzebub was frustrated. He called those demon insects so he could focus on breaking this confinent rune diagram. He didn't expect his demon insects to be so useless. With these enemies attacking him, his focus was again disrupted.
"Raargghh…! You forced to do this!" He exclaid.
He crouched down. The carapace on his back bulged. It then opened wide. Burst out of the opened carapace were several titanic-sized demon insects.
