The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 252 - 163: Engaging in Battle

Emerging from the grand gates of the Battle Zone, one is welcomed by a barrage of Fireball Rain to the face.

The King of Ten Thousand Beasts was utterly stunned at this moment.

It wasn’t because of the dense fireballs raining from the sky, each with the power of a level 5 spell, but because of those "people" who released them.

With the power of the Beast God, he possessed a unique high-dimensional perspective, akin to the real-time strategy games he saw before coming to this world, one that allowed him to observe and strategize easily with the support of Faith.

It was through these powers that he now saw, crystal clear, the fleet that launched the attack and the appearance of the Spellcasters on board.

Those were none other than the witches that had sent him home in disgrace just a few days ago!

The entire fleet consisted of females who were adept at magic, identical to the witches he had seen through his Faith perspective in the instance!

Others might not have noticed, but he did distinctly; despite varying in appearance, a certain rough image could be glimpsed among those witches. What other possibility could there be?

He didn’t even have time to marvel at the grand sea base; only one thought remained in his mind.

"What? The witches are attacking us?!"

He clearly remembered that the location of that witch was on the opposite side of the planet. How could she possibly end up in the same Battle Zone?

And how could they so swiftly be at his doorstep?

That was the only information he had from his Divine Descent, and it could not be wrong!

Could they have used a Zone Transfer Certificate?

No!

The King of Ten Thousand Beasts immediately dismissed his speculation:

"Based on what I saw during the Divine Descent, that Lord was definitely focused on the development direction of their territory, and even their combat style was integrated with their territory.

Moreover, the opponent also had a vast amount of territory within their region.

It’s impossible that they would abandon such a flourishing territory and numerous occupied zones just to pursue and avenge me!"

Thinking of this possibility, the King of Ten Thousand Beasts finally let go of the anxiety in his heart.

Unbeknownst to him, Bai Yi had already left an indelible mark in his mind, becoming his deepest fear.

The pain that pierced his soul was still vividly remembered, even now, as if it throbbed faintly.

His own power had also diminished due to the injury he sustained, but fortunately, his recent promotion had mitigated some of that loss.

Moreover, after his ascension to level 5, his Combat Power was much stronger than in the instance, and with the truly formidable Beastman race under his command, he still had the fighting capability, even against a witch...

The King of Ten Thousand Beasts psyched himself up, attempting to dispel his fears. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Although unclear on how these witches had found him, his options were limited with the current situation.

Fight or flee.

But neither his personality nor the responsibilities bestowed upon him by his "Beast God" role allowed for retreat.

He could be defeated, but he could not flee without a fight!

Otherwise, even if he escaped with his life, his actions not aligning with his divine role would lead to a weakening or even dissolution of the faith the Beastmen had in him.

Then he would truly stand no chance!

The self-confidence bolstered by the promotion finally rose from beneath the suppression of fear, wielding the Power of Faith to cast Divine Arts, blocking the Fireball Rain.

Although he didn’t understand why the adversary could unleash spells with the power of level 6, his Divine Arts were not without the capacity to fight!

Coordinating with several Beastman Heroes, the King of Ten Thousand Beasts swiftly rallied the Beastmen who had fallen into Chaos due to the earlier fireballs, preparing a battle formation to meet the witches who were arriving by flight.

The Beastmen gripped their weapons tightly, while the Priests among them employed witchcraft spells to bestow various enhancements on the Beastmen.

At his command, a charge was initiated against the first wave of witches who had landed on the coastline through the Sky Control Technique.

He, too, had ascended to level 5 during the two days of reprieve, converting all the point rewards he received into food, to temporarily Summon a massive Beastman army, barely amassing enough Beastman believers.

After the promotion, the Beastmen, who were already at the pinnacle of level 4, broke through one after another. Although not high in Level, they had crossed over the threshold of level 5.

Sufficient to disrupt the balance with the Lord Alliance occupying the other half of the territory, pushing through without considering losses, and achieving victory within just one day.

Relying on the spoils of this battle, plus the loss of tens of thousands of Beastmen, he successfully managed to bring the quantity of Beastmen down to a level he could sustain and govern.

However, also due to the battle, he had not yet had time to use his Lord Talent to remodel the level 5 Favored clan after his promotion to level 5, and the witchcraft spells were still the same as before.

These witchcraft spells, only of level 6, coincidentally matched the power of the Joint Spells born from Yun Dao research, rendering him incapable of overwhelming the adversary for the time being.

But a parity of high-level spells does not imply that individual Combat Power is closely matched.

Unlike the Beastmen who invested all their attribute points to an extreme, Melee warriors who only knew Melee combat, and those at range could only use spells and would perish instantly if engaged up close.

Witches could be described as perfect hexagonal warriors, and they didn’t have the usual drawback of weak attributes common to regular hexagonal warriors.

Each of their attributes was nearly on par with the strongest attribute of the Beastmen, paired with a diversity of spells, they completely overpowered the Beastmen whether in range or Melee combat.

On one side, there were only a very limited number of Beast God witchcraft, while on the other side, dozens of different Spells were at the ready depending on the battle situation.

Moreover, with the aid of Spiritual Link, the coordination was seamless, and even with ideas, the Beastmen couldn’t find any opportunity.

Just one encounter, and the Beastmen found themselves at a complete disadvantage.

Struggling through Magic to charge forward, attempting to rely on their strong Melee ability to overpower the opponent, they found those witches were even happier than they were.

One second they were casting with their Magic Wand, the next they grabbed their wands and swung them around.

It was then that they finally saw clearly, what the heck was the witches holding in their hands?

They were clearly long pole spears, as thick as a baby’s wrist, made entirely of pure metal casting!

And from the feel of it when smashing down, those poles were solid!

And those witches swung them effortlessly as if they were weightless, just with their Strength Attribute they definitely wouldn’t be any less than them!

Just smashing would be one thing, but those long spears were continuously imbued with one Spell after another, adding a significant layer of magical damage on top of the physical damage.

Mouthing words for the Primordial Witch, enemies of the witches, and other incomprehensible phrases, they smashed with even more vigor than them.

At first, they were still able to fight back relying on their bravery and skills honed in regular trainings, but soon, they truly understood what attribute domination meant.

Relying on superior agility and Strength Attributes, even the most basic sweeping and smashing would always find the most tricky angle, making it difficult for them to parry.

However, their own attacks were dodged by the opponent’s dominating agility attribute, and even if they did get a solid hit, it didn’t cause much damage.

Heaven knows why those witches, who looked so delicate, had a Constitution Attribute even higher than theirs!

Even the few Beastmen Heroes could only manage to retreat back into the fray while being surrounded by witches, rather than causing much damage.

The King of Ten Thousand Beasts, with an overview of the battlefield, of course realized this point.

With no damage ratio to speak of, this was purely a one-sided slaughter!

The little damage that was caused occasionally was from inadvertent witchcraft, but those hit witches would just dust off and get back into the fight.

He was well aware that if he continued fighting like this, there was only a dead end, but he had no choice.

Unless it was a complete defeat, he couldn’t retreat ahead of time, otherwise, it would be a shake to the morale of the Beastmen and his own Faith.

Calculating the current Beastmen casualties, the heart of the King of Ten Thousand Beasts bled.

It wasn’t until a certain threshold was finally reached, the acknowledged defeat threshold on the dashboard, that the King of Ten Thousand Beasts hurriedly issued a divine oracle using his Faith:

"Retreat!"

Expending the remaining Faith Power, the King of Ten Thousand Beasts transformed once again into the Beast God, providing cover for his Beastmen subordinates.

Even those who considered themselves the bravest Beastmen no longer shouted about wanting to kill their way through.

They were just brave and not reckless; even on the battlefield, they realized that the odds of a Beastman victory were nearly nil; like the tide, they retreated along the way they came, falling back within their own territory.

The gate of Zone 89 was not far from here, otherwise, they wouldn’t have come to this flat coast to establish a temporary camp.

With the cover of the Divine Descent of the Beast God, Yun Dao knew he couldn’t completely trap all the Beastmen and didn’t pursue them to the death.

It was just a back-and-forth with the Joint Spell and the opponent’s Lord in the form of Divine Descent of the Beast God, eventually letting the other side go.

"What do you think?"

Atop the command tower of the sea base in the ocean, Yun Dao gazed in the direction of the battlefield and asked his sister beside him.

"Very weak. Is this the enemy of witches?

While indeed stronger when compared to usual foes, they still fall short when compared to witches.

It wouldn’t really just be a standard Witch Clan wanted order...

Something similar to catching petty thieves?"

Five Sea Dominator couldn’t imagine any other possibility; after all, such strength was not enough to suggest being an enemy of witches.

"Perhaps these Beastmen have also declined like the witches...

Never mind, let’s clean up the battlefield first.

The other party is also a Lord, as long as they leave the territory again to participate in the Cycle Challenge, we can catch them if we blockade here.

And although those Beastmen cannot be infected, that Lord has been on the battlefield for so long, even if they stayed in the rear the whole time, they might be infected and become a witch.

We just need to wait.

Next, the most important thing is to start constructing the territory on land, to occupy more ground within the Battle Zone!"

God Witch: A rare Witch species, as most wild Gods become prey to witches, and there are very few cases of assimilation; the remaining God Witches are from the early days of witch exploration, now mostly relying on their innate Talent for Power of Faith, becoming leaders in the God Breeding Industry...

[Note: Don’t you find it weird when you God Witches are breeding Gods and looking at your own farmed Gods?]

[Note’s note: If you Cat Witches can raise a bunch of cats, then it’s reasonable for us God Witches to breed Gods, right?]
