Prepared, Wada Hirayama simply didn't give these Shadow Demon Insects a chance to self-destruct.

His aged body hovered in mid-air, his expression cold.

The tachi in his hand no longer pursued wide, sweeping slashes, turning instead precise and fatal.

Saber Qi crisscrossed like a web of death woven from silver threads, shrouding the entire sky.

Every strand of Saber Qi precisely tore through the sky, cutting groups of Shadow Demon Insects into fragments a hundred meters away from him.

With every slash that fell, tens of thousands of Shadow Demon Insects' lives were reaped.

A dense mass of insect corpses fell from the sky, clattering heavily onto the streets and buildings below.

It felt as though a bizarre rain of insects was falling.

In the distance, Zhou Huai quietly observed the situation in the sky through the vision of the Information Bug.

The rout of the Insect Tide was already within his expectations.

These Shadow Demon Insects were, after all, merely cannon fodder hatched by the Hell-level BOSS Abyssal Insect Mother Leviathan.

Their only tactical value was fearless self-destruction.

Now that Wada Hirayama was prepared and wouldn't let them get close, the self-destruction move was completely ruined.

It was only natural that it could hardly pose a threat to a top powerhouse of Wada Hirayama's caliber.

Consumed all the way from Jiangning City to Sakura Country.

The number of Shadow Demon Insects in Caesar's hands had been depleted by seven or eight out of ten.

Facing the powerful Wada Hirayama now, it was even more like a drop of water in a blazing cart of wood, leaving almost none left in an instant.

"It seems that in order to stall this old fellow, I have to bleed heavily."

Zhou Huai let out a cold snort in his heart, his mind stirring.

The next second, the space below the building suddenly tore open!

A pitch-black fissure that seemed to devour all light appeared out of thin air.

A massive black shadow flapped its wings and flew out from that spatial fissure!

Its body, covered in menacing carapace, was so huge that with its wings spread, it almost blocked out half the sky.

"Hisss—!"

A heaven-shaking screech sufficient to tear eardrums rang through the clouds!

It was precisely that Hell-level BOSS already subdued by Caesar.

Abyssal Insect Mother Leviathan!

At the same time, the Classer who had not evacuated in the distance felt this terrifying aura originating from the Abyss for the first time.

They turned their heads one after another, expressions of shock surfacing on their faces.

What's the situation?

Hell-level BOSS?

Why would a Hell-level BOSS suddenly appear in Takamagahara?

Even on Wada Hirayama's calm-as-an-ancient-well face, a trace of surprise appeared.

He had originally thought that the person controlling this endless Insect Tide would be a powerful Insect Master.

Never had he expected that the opponent's true body was actually a level-50 Hell-level BOSS.

The surprise in Wada Hirayama's eyes quickly turned into disdain.

He twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a mocking, cold smile.

Even a Hell-level BOSS was nothing to worry about for him.

Moreover, it was this kind of insectoid whose individual strength was the weakest among the same level.

After the Abyssal Insect Mother Leviathan appeared, it didn't pause for even a split second.

Its huge and ugly abdomen suddenly swelled.

A visible purple ripple, centered on it, exploded outwards!

The remaining Shadow Demon Insects were like they had been injected with a shot of adrenaline.

Their eyes instantly turned crimson, bizarre purple patterns emerged on the surfaces of their bodies, and their flight speed instantly increased several times over!

"Hum—!"

Under the blessing of the Insect Mother's berserk buff, the surviving insect swarm once again launched a desperate, fearless charge toward Wada Hirayama!

This time, their offensive was even more frantic and swift than before!

Wada Hirayama's gaze finally became focused.

The tachi in his hand twirled a blade flower, his figure transforming into a silver lightning bolt in the air.

Every time the blade light flickered, it precisely met those lunging red phantoms.

He no longer held back, every single slash containing the power to sever mountains.

Wherever the silver light passed, those energy-buffed Shadow Demon Insects were still easily torn apart like fragile pieces of paper.

In just a few seconds, the sky was cleared once again.

Wada Hirayama hovered in mid-air, his gaze like lightning, instantly locking onto that huge Insect Mother below.

He gripped the tachi with both hands, raising it high above his head.

Majestic energy frantically gathered onto the blade, making that unpretentious tachi light up with a dazzling radiance.

"Die, insect!"

Accompanied by a cold shout, an extremely condensed sliver of silver blade light broke free from the blade.

The blade light tore through the sky, carrying the aura of severing everything, and heavily hacked onto the body of the Abyssal Insect Mother Leviathan!

"Pfft!"

The Abyssal Insect Mother Leviathan's huge abdomen was actually severed at the waist by this single slash!

From the menacing wound, dark green body fluids gushed out like a waterfall.

A bright red damage number floated up from above its head.

-584399!

"Hisss—!"

The Abyssal Insect Mother Leviathan let out a screech that reached the absolute extreme of wretchedness.

However, its subsequent action made Wada Hirayama's gaze narrow.

That heavily injured giant insect actually showed no signs of escaping or defending.

It violently vibrated its shattered wings, its massive body transforming into a black meteor, charging straight toward Wada Hirayama's location!

Something's wrong.

Wada Hirayama felt that this Hell-level BOSS's fighting style was wrong.

Charging blindly at him like this, what difference was it from suicide?

Wada Hirayama hardened his heart, holding nothing back with the tachi in his hand.

Sharp strands of Saber Qi poured down like a violent storm toward the charging giant insect.

However, the Abyssal Insect Mother Leviathan was a Hell-level BOSS after all.

Its hard carapace resisted the vast majority of damage for it.

Wanting to quickly kill it in a short period of time was easier said than done.

The Abyssal Insect Mother was extremely fast, enduring the sky-full of blade light and forcefully rushing to a position less than fifty meters away from Wada Hirayama.

At this moment, its HP still had three million left.

A strong ominous premonition suddenly arose in Wada Hirayama's heart.

This little fellow couldn't also want to self-destruct, right?

This was a Hell-level BOSS!

He had never seen nor heard of any Hell-level BOSS actively choosing to self-destruct!

It clearly had a chance to escape, why?

Various thoughts flashed through Wada Hirayama's mind in an instant.

Wada Hirayama had just raised the thought of pulling back and escaping.

Not far away, the Abyssal Insect Mother Leviathan, which was already close at hand, suddenly lit up with blinding white light all over its body.

It had actually truly and brazenly self-destructed!

In an instant, the entire world lost its sound.

A white sun suddenly rose above the skies of Takamagahara.

That light was so scorching that it instantly devoured all colors, making the sky as bright as day.

Following closely was a destructive roar sufficient to tear apart heaven and earth.

Boom—!!!

A gigantic mushroom cloud, mixed with black electric arcs and purple turbulent energy flows, rose from the center of the explosion, shooting straight into the clouds.

The terrifying shockwave transformed into a substantial, visible destructive ring, sweeping frantically in all directions.

In the sky, that huge ink-wash painting scroll unfurled by Soma Kosuke shook and swayed violently under this overbearing impact, and even wisps of cracks appeared at the edges of the scroll!

Below, several skyscrapers in the core area of the explosion didn't even have time to issue a wail before they instantly collapsed and decomposed in that blinding white light, turning into the most primitive dust.

The earth trembled violently, as if an eighteen-magnitude earthquake had occurred.

The dust and smoke dispersed.

The originally bustling district completely disappeared.

Leaving only a giant crater over a kilometer in diameter and bottomless, with its edges still burning with molten, crimson lava.
