Chapter 70: Chapter 70: The Battle Against the Black Beetle King, the Holy Light Guardian

“This guy has gotten really strong,” Elise said, watching Constantine charge into the swarm of beetles and start killing them left and right. She couldn’t help but feel a little jealous.

Next to her, the Golden Flame Dragon also looked eager. These black beetles didn’t even scare it.

George patted its small head and said, “You can go too.”

“Roar…” The Golden Flame Dragon let out a loud dragon cry, then took off into the sky with its small body, joining the battle against the beetle swarm.

Buzz…

A golden light surrounded everything. Golden Realm was cast. The Golden Flame Dragon killed like it was nothing, even more easily than Constantine.

With those two around, they were sure to draw the attention of the Black Beetle King.

Elise and Melina silently stayed by George’s side, keeping the golden beetles away.

The buzzing of wings filled the air. Each black beetle was killed and fell from the sky.

George’s experience pool was growing fast. If this kept up, he’d reach level 40 in no time.

Of course, that was only if he finished Eliex’s quest and lifted the seal.

And if he used the crystal ball to change his class.

“Roar…”

“Who’s stupid enough to come here and mess with me?”

Suddenly, a loud roar echoed. A strong voice rang out. From the forest far away, a huge shape like a mountain shot into the sky.

It was the Black Beetle King!

It looked similar to the black beetles, but much bigger. Its body was covered in thick black armor. It had two horns on its head, and its huge red eyes glowed as it locked onto Constantine and the Golden Flame Dragon.

“Demons, dragons!”

Its voice was serious. These two races, along with the Blazing Angel clan, were among the strongest monsters in the world. It had never dared to anger them before. It didn’t understand why these two had suddenly come into its territory.

“Leave now, or I won’t be polite,” the Black Beetle King said coldly, not attacking immediately.

“Hmph, coward. I’m here to find you!” Constantine roared, swinging his War Hammer. It smashed through the beetles in front of him and rushed toward the Black Beetle King.

“Die!”

The Black Beetle King was angry and rushed toward Constantine.

Boom! Boom!

Two huge explosions. The two of them, as big as mountains, flew backward at the same time.

Constantine quickly steadied himself, but the Black Beetle King rolled on the ground, leaving a deep hole in the earth. The difference in power was clear.

George saw this and let out a small sigh. The Black Beetle King was only a 35-level SS-tier boss. It wasn’t even a match for Constantine.

“Your shell is really hard. I want to see how many times I can hit you before you break.”

Constantine waved his arm, which was still numb from the impact, and charged at the Black Beetle King again.

“I see you’re a demon lord. I don’t want to fight you. Don’t push your luck!”

The Black Beetle King was angry. It shook off the dirt and shot back into the sky, as if it wasn’t hurt at all.

The two giants clashed again.

The sound of explosions kept going. The black beetles around them were all thrown away, bleeding from their mouths and noses.

Next to them, the Golden Flame Dragon watched carefully but didn’t rush to attack.

George flew up high and joined Elise and Melina, cleaning up the beetles and moving closer slowly.

He noticed that these black beetles had a height limit when flying. They couldn’t go higher than 100 meters. That actually made him feel a lot safer.

Boom!

Another big explosion. Constantine and the Black Beetle King were thrown back by the force.

“This guy must be a turtle!”

Constantine’s arms trembled slightly as he looked up at George in the sky. He sighed and said, “Lord, his armor is too hard. I can’t break through his defense.”

“Hmph, your lord? So there are other demon lords out there?” The Black Beetle King climbed up from the ground, his face changed slightly when he heard Constantine’s words. His red eyes looked up toward the sky.

It had been focused on the fight and didn’t notice George and the others moving in from above.

“A human? Like a snake?” The Black Beetle King narrowed his red eyes, looked confused, then turned to sneer.

“Hmph, a mighty demon lord has fallen so low. Taking a weak human as a master? That’s pitiful and ridiculous.” It sneered, feeling confident.

Even though it wasn’t a match for Constantine, its armor was so strong that the demon couldn’t break through its defense. It wasn’t even in danger of dying.

Roar!

Suddenly, a dragon’s roar echoed. Golden Flame Dragon moved, turning into a golden blur. It was already in front of the Black Beetle King in an instant.

Crack!

Golden Flame Dragon bit down on the Black Beetle King’s front leg, and a clear breaking sound followed.

Then the Black Beetle King roared in pain and threw Golden Flame Dragon away.

“Die! Attack! Kill them!”

The Black Beetle King was angry but didn’t attack directly. It gave a command, and hundreds of black beetles rushed in like a storm.

In an instant, Constantine and Golden Flame Dragon were trapped.

“Fight back,” George said coldly.

This Black Beetle King wasn’t very strong, but its defense was crazy. Even Golden Flame Dragon could only break a little of its front leg armor. The back armor was even stronger.

“But master…” Elise wasn’t sure.

George cut her off. “Don’t worry, I’m safe up here.”

The two women looked at each other, nodded, and then dove down, attacking the Black Beetle King.

“Elf Saint -a demon that controls both light and dark. You’re also under that worm’s command? That’s a disgrace!”

The Black Beetle King saw the two women diving at him, and he was furious. His broken front leg was wrapped in dark energy, forming two sharp blades that flew toward them.

Roar…

Boom!

Roars and explosions filled the air.

The Black Beetle King was overwhelmed by the attacks of four strong bosses, and it could only defend.

But its armor was too hard. No matter if it was Melina’s physical attack or Elise and Golden Flame Dragon’s magic, nothing could break through its defense. It wasn’t even in danger.

“Find the weak spot -its eyes, or its belly!” George watched the battle closely, looking for the Black Beetle King’s weak spot.

“Got it!”

They understood and worked together.

Constantine kept the Black Beetle King busy. Golden Flame Dragon, Elise, and Melina were small and fast, so they aimed for the beetle king’s belly and its huge red eyes.

Boom!

A huge fireball exploded under it. The armor on its belly was weak and cracked, spilling green blood.

Melina seized the moment. She spread her wings in the sky, moved fast, and aimed her spear at one of the Black Beetle King’s red eyes.

“Lowborn!”

The Black Beetle King roared in anger, dodging clumsily. But before it could recover, two more terrifying magic attacks hit it from below. It was sent flying into the air and crashed hard into the ground.

“Haha, even a turtle like you isn’t so tough!” Constantine laughed wildly, seizing the chance. His War Hammer roared through the air and came crashing down.

Boom!

A loud explosion. The Black Beetle King was buried deep underground.

The others didn’t stop attacking. Seizing the moment when it was off guard, they unleashed all kinds of skills and magic, bombarding it nonstop.

“Damn it! Fight me one-on-one if you’ve got the guts!”

The Black Beetle King roared in frustration, looking as helpless as a turtle, with its head and six limbs all pulled inside its armor.

“Hmph, if it weren’t for that turtle shell, I’d have beaten you ten times over,” Constantine sneered, smashing down with his War Hammer, making his arm go numb.

Elise and the others kept attacking furiously.

“This is my body. If you want to destroy me, then I’ll drown you in my swarm!” The Black Beetle King was furious. It ordered the surrounding beetle hordes to attack again.

Countless black beetles swarmed in, giving Constantine and the others a lot of pressure. For a moment, they couldn’t even get close to the Black Beetle King.

“You lowly human! I’ll kill you first, then deal with the rest!”

The Black Beetle King’s red eyes burned with rage as it locked on to George in the sky. Its massive body surged upward.

“Watch out!”

“Lord!”

“Master!”

Elise and the others were terrified, but it was too late to stop it.

George sensed the Black Beetle King’s intent and immediately flew higher. But this thing was different from the other beetles—it had no height limit and was fast. The buzzing sound came closer quickly.

“Damn it, I was too careless…”

George panicked. He was only level 30, and the Black Beetle King was a 35-level SS-tier boss. There was no way he could stand up to it.

“Frozen Expanse!”

He swung his staff and cast an ice spell. A cold wind howled, and the Black Beetle King was instantly frozen.

Crack!

But the next second, the ice shattered. The Black Beetle King kept coming, its monstrous face growing larger and larger, casting a shadow over George.

“Ice Shield!”

George gritted his teeth and cast another ice spell. A clear ice shield formed in front of him.

Then the Black Beetle King charged.

Boom!

A loud crack. The ice shield shattered, and George felt like he’d been hit by a speeding train. He had no chance to fight back, and was sent flying backward, his HP instantly drained to zero.

[You have taken fatal damage. Holy Protection has activated, keeping 1 HP.]

A message popped up.

George blinked, then realized what had just happened.

It was Mia’s Holy Protection blessing. He hadn’t expected to use it so soon.

George was still shaking from the scare.

“Ah, you’re still alive?” The Black Beetle King looked surprised that George hadn’t been killed. But it was too late to attack again.

“Dare to hurt my lord, you die!” Constantine roared in fury. His massive body tensed, muscles bulging, veins popping out, his War Hammer glowing with dark energy as he smashed down on the Black Beetle King.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion. The Black Beetle King’s massive body slammed into the ground, and its hard shell cracked under Constantine’s furious strike.

“Roar!”

Golden Flame Dragon also roared, unleashing a wave of golden flame that engulfed everything.
