Global Lords: My Heroes Grow Infinitely

Chapter 82: Chapter 82: The Territory Is Counterattacked

For instance, there’s a type of Demon Race creature with bat wings, a spider’s body, and an eagle’s claws. It’s hard to know what to call it.

However, because this is in the Lord World, this kind of unit has "Carrion Fly" four letters floating above its head.

Good heavens, shouldn’t it be called a carrion eagle? How is it a fly?

Clearly, it’s hardly related to flies.

In addition to that, Rosen also saw a large number of beetle-like creatures wriggling among the rotten objects on the ground, named "Parasitic Beetle."

The name alone suggests it’s not simple, reminding Rosen of the scarabs from the Mummy movie series.

In fact, the setting of this Demon Race creature is quite similar to the scarabs, and their numbers are extremely large.

Rosen searched the Lord Market for strategies and also checked information related to these Demon Race creatures. He even looked through the entire range of units of the Cave Race.

His scalp immediately tingled.

This large number of Cave Race creatures mainly lives by parasitism and decomposition.

Parasitism is less worrying; as long as the bugs are promptly removed from the body, at worst, one will be left with a cavity on the body.

As for decomposition, it continuously applies a curse of decay on the target’s surface, causing the target to slowly rot, accompanied by a decrease in health until death!

Compared to parasitism, decomposition’s attack strategy is much more horrifying.

"I’m getting to a point where I don’t want to attack this territory. These creatures are even more headache-inducing than aliens. If aliens came here, they’d probably turn tail and run."

Rosen originally thought aliens were disgusting enough, but compared to these creatures, there’s still a gap.

"The strategy says light professions and fire attribute professions are the bane of these filthy professions."

In the next moment, Rosen transformed into a Twelve-winged Angel god.

He then launched Holy Light bullets at the worms hanging in the air!

Holy Light bullets are the attack method of the Golden Holy Dragon; the Holy Light is the skill of the Twelve-winged Angels, both belonging to light attributes, although the former is stronger.

The worm at the forefront of the trajectory of the Holy Light bullet was hit first, and the Holy Light bullet exploded on its body, affecting a radius of a hundred meters with light damage.

In an instant, tiny fragments continuously fell from the sky, and among the densely packed worm swarm beneath a distant stone wall, a large hole appeared out of thin air.

Alarm was stirred around the hole, and those worms hanging in the air actually unfolded their dragonfly-like flesh wings and flew toward Rosen!

"Damn it!"

Rosen had searched earlier; the carrion worms belong to the carrion type attack strategy of the Demon Race.

They spray corrosive curse venom onto the target, one of the types most feared by light professions.

"Holy Light!"

The Holy Light of the Twelve-winged Angels possesses the ability to change shape, allowing it to metamorphose freely. Rosen immediately formed the Holy Light into a protective shield surrounding him at 360 degrees.

The large amount of venom sprayed was isolated. The Holy Light shield also continuously emitted sizzling sounds, causing a rise of toxic black smoke.

The gas mask Rosen wore completely filtered these toxic substances, leaving him unaffected.

Meanwhile, his mask-generated area of poisonous mist began to corrode the flesh of the worms as they approached.

Visible to the naked eye, the wings of the worms dissolved in the poison mist in an instant, and their bodies began to show symptoms of decay.

Although carrion worms possess corrosive venom, they themselves lack the attribute of being highly toxic, merely carrion attribute, and hold no resistance against toxins.

"Holy Light bullet!"

He conjured light balls with his hands, controlling their flight.

Striking the dense area of worms again and again, the Holy Light ball once again exploded, affecting a wide area.

The progress seemed smooth.

As long as these venom-generating worms are exterminated, with no time to replenish the poison mist inside the cavern, he could dispatch his army for an assault.

But just as Rosen felt victory was assured, the ground emitted the sound of beetle wings flapping amid the writhing filth, joining into a noise similar to a machine in operation.

Parasitic Beetles emerged from the ground and fluttered their wings, continuously flying toward Rosen’s position.

The corrosive effect of the poison mist surrounding Rosen’s body proved ineffective against the beetles’ shells, which possess anti-corrosion traits. Moreover, their flying speed is far greater than that of worms.

Momentarily, the poison mist had no significant effect on them.

A swarm followed by another swarm of Parasitic Beetles advanced, colliding with Rosen’s Holy Light shield.

The result was evident; these beetles fell into a trap, their bodies bursting against the light curtain and their filth fully purified clean.

The light curtain appeared much dimmer.

Rosen concentrated anew, keeping the light curtain intact despite the relentless onslaught by the beetles.

"Flies to light, courting death!"

Rosen coldly remarked, consecutively launching Holy Light balls.

The Holy Light balls exploded on the beetles, also affecting those nearby, resulting in their demise and descent from the air.

Seeing the victory secured, Rosen had firmly suppressed the Cave Race army outside the cavern.

Clearly, these were low-level units; higher-level ones still lurked deep inside the cavern.

The commotion just caused should have attracted the attention of the army inside.

Yet, in reality, only these outermost guards launched attacks against Rosen.

The situation was indeed peculiar, and it grew intriguing.

"Could it be that the advanced units inside are scared and unwilling to face battle?"

Rosen speculated, feeling increasingly uneasy.

Linking the situation to the path leading to his territory, a foreboding intuition grew stronger.

"Ding-ding-ding!～"

The phone in his pocket rang inappropriately at that moment.

Startled, Rosen took the phone from his pocket, recalling that his parents rarely called him, knowing he was busy arranging battles outside and worried it might be disruptive.

Yet upon looking at the phone, the contact was marked as his father.

"Hello, has something happened at the territory?" Rosen inquired with concern.

"Better come back quickly. Suddenly a horde of insects appeared from somewhere and attacked here. Their number seems almost equal to that of our territory’s army?"

Rosen’s father spoke with a tone of tension, as witnessing an army at the gates firsthand would make anyone nervous.

Although he had studied some military books and understood battle formations, he could not command Rosen’s army, not being the lord himself, making a phone call to urge Rosen’s return was his only option.

"Alright, be careful, don’t leave the main city, I’ll be there soon!"

Rosen hung up the call, launched one last Holy Light bullet, and turned to run.

Outside the cavern, Rosen transformed into the fastest Frost Dragon Knight immediately, soaring into the sky, flying directly toward his territory.

While he was launching a surprise attack on the Cave Race territory, the Cave Race had already plotted for the lord’s absence and seized the opportunity for a sneak attack.

This scenario was unforeseen by Rosen.

The Cave Race proved a bit sly.

"Fortunately, I invaded the Cave Race territory alone. Had I brought an army, they wouldn’t have been able to defend the territory."

"Without my command, relying on instinct in battle should manage to hold off for some time."

"The Beastman Warlord possesses the talent to lead an army, ensuring the situation won’t turn disastrous."

"Wait for my return!"
