Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 751 - 645 Desecration Ant Queen

Squeak, squeak, squeak...

Ever since the battle with the insects began, the insane buzzing of insects has never ceased around the group's ears.

Various insects emerging from the darkness below the staircase are becoming more frequent and stronger.

The team, with Aiven and Anita as the spearhead, and the other three supporting and employing various tactics, is almost advancing by stepping over the corpses of insects.

After they turned twenty right angles, theoretically walking five circles on the square Penrose Staircase that constantly ascends, they no longer seek to completely slay or defeat the insects rushing toward them but draw out their longswords to conserve strength, merely to clear a path for their group to move forward.

Because, despite the insects' individual strength being negligible, their numbers are overwhelming, like drawing a sword to cut water, and not even a team with two powerful Extraordinaries capable of arm wrestling with Tier 4 could wipe them all out.

Obviously.

Inside the Clock Tower, reaching the fourth layer marks a watershed, almost prohibiting ordinary Tier 2 Transcendents from passing through, and even solitary third-tier individuals would not have an easy time here.

Angie's two new witch friends wisely chose to remain on the third layer.

Boom——!

On the blade of Thunder Fang, the violent lightning and thunderstrike like a mighty thunder spear pierces through a large group of bizarre-looking insects head-on with irresistible force.

No matter how hard the shell is, it appears as fragile as cardboard under this attack.

Desperate Thunder Swordsmanship: Secret Technique: Thunder Mercury

At this moment, Aiven, standing independently in the front with his sword across, is a killing deity that disperses thousands of armies!

"Hmm?"

However, as the remnants of this wave of insects are blown away by the turbulent air from the stone steps, not only did no new swarm rush up, but the constant insect buzzing in the darkness also suddenly silenced.

Aiven clearly remembered that by now, they had walked twelve circles on the Penrose Staircase, matching the number of all months in a year, and in mysticism, numbers like 7, 12, 13... are not to be taken lightly.

He glanced back to see Milan holding up the Crystal Ball again, and seeing Milan nod firmly.

Aiven hesitated no more, taking a step forward.

The world in front of them entirely changed.

They had been continuously advancing along the Penrose Staircase into the depths of darkness, and now they finally reached the end of the darkness.

It seemed like initially parallel lines intersected at a point, and then countless lines continued to converge, ultimately forming a plane here, completely overlapping the outsider with this space.

Just as extremes meet, the darkness expelled a misty glow, making everything in this enigmatic space completely appear before the team.

The stone steps lost inclination entirely, and the width suddenly expanded to a thousand meters. In the formerly dark, distant places, countless intersecting stone steps appeared stretching into the unknowable.

It seemed like a massive web woven by a gigantic spider.

And on the inner side of the stone steps...

The group suddenly widened their eyes:

"Is this... holy? Eerie?"

Realizing their arrival.

That indescribable existence, like suddenly waking, gently stretched countless limbs.

The upper body, with hundreds of arms, was a slender, graceful female figure with skin shining a black obsidian sheen, and the face above the nose was golden, forming a lavish, noble crown.

No eyes, no hair, with a mechanical structure embedded in the forehead centered on a clock face, above which was a black keyhole, suggesting what might hide inside.

Meanwhile.

She also had ant-like long antennae, with a large black swamp-like flesh sack connecting to the dense darkness below the stone steps, obscuring the boundary of the tail end.

An obvious monster, possessing both sacred beauty and desecrated filth.

Perhaps in some eyes, this was the perfect fusion in religious aesthetics.

Desecration Ant Queen

In the fourth layer of this space, each Penrose Staircase is actually the nest of an Ant Queen. If they initially chose to go downward, they would have seen the vast ant nest, possibly finding a key there.

Same principle.

Actually, this Ant Queen has been staying centrally at the "plane square staircase" from the start, only as Aiven's group continuously ascends the Penrose Staircase do they gradually approach the dimension where it resides.

Now.

Mutual perception of each other's existence means they can also attack each other.

Sizzle! Sizzle!...

The Ant Queen's eyeless head turned towards Aiven's group, and her bloated body suddenly cracked open red crevices, revealing blood-red pupils one after another.

Screech——

In a sharp scream from the Ant Queen, those eyes shot dozens of filthy red beams, sweeping towards those on the stone steps.

"Dodge!"

Among the five, even the weakest was a Tier 2 Senior Official Wizard, certainly not a burden, immediately evading.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In zigzagging movements, even occasional errors could be resisted with the Witchcraft Barrier.

After all, this Desecration Ant Queen, though larger than a Sea God's Son in size, was still just a Tier 3 Extraordinary.

Meanwhile.

In her black flesh sack-like lower body, fissures opened continuously.

Rustle... Rustle... 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

A horde of demons with human black-armored knight upper bodies and ants lower bodies, like a flooding wave, charged incessantly towards the staircase.

Their massive life energy fields have almost all reached the level of Tier 2 Senior. Under the premise of being unable to leave the range of the staircase, facing an onslaught comparable to that of Super Marching Ants, even an ordinary Tier 3 Great Knight would eventually fall lamentably!

Confronted with this scene.

Aiven and Anita exchanged glances and nodded lightly.

A brilliant flash of Extraordinary Spiritual Light burst forth.

Roar! Roar!

With two fierce dragon roars, two gigantic dragons, each nearly twenty meters in size, appeared on the stone steps. One was a jade-colored water attribute Sea Emperor Dragon, and the other was a gold-red fire attribute Flame Prison Dragon.

And when the siblings transformed into dragons, their size barely matched the upper body of this Super Big Bug.

"Get on!"

Anita lowered her head to pick up Angie, while Olivia leaped onto Aiven's head by herself.

Just as Milan wanted to follow Olivia and climb onto Aiven's head, he was already grasped by Aiven in his slightly shorter dragon claw.

Uh... I'm the redundant one.

Two lines of bitter tears silently flowed down from the corners of Milan's eyes, blown by the wind.

This, really hurts...

But Aiven had no time to care for him.

Even though they still couldn't fly, the two of them, protected by dragon scales, were like two indestructible steel fortresses, greatly increasing their tolerance for mistakes.

Rumble...

As the two dragons lowered their bodies and charged, the "Marching Ant Knights" exploded under their feet, and the siblings' genuine feeling was only one — everyone here is trash!

After securing their side in an invincible position.

Olivia and Angie stood between the dragon horns, coordinating with Aiven and Anita to unleash one range witchcraft after another.

But when they realized that no matter how much they attacked, the belly of the Desecration Ant Queen seemed connected to another dimension, with no decrease in the number of marching ants, they immediately decided to change tactics.

Opening their Magic Pockets, they revealed sparkling silver Electromagnetic Cannon 3.0, equipped with a semi-finished Magnetic Ore power system. Energy supply was no longer an obstacle.

Moreover, they had long been made into Activated Guards by Aiven, greatly enhancing their ease of control.

Even if Angie didn't have Olivia's talent, the necessary equipment was complete, and at such close range, hitting a big target was unlikely to miss, even for a blind man.

Clank clank clank...

The breech of the rotary cannon began to rotate, automatically switching to enchanted aluminum bullets.

Bang! Bang!

Two bright magenta fire lines shot out, and the "Gemstone Armament" and "Venom Armor" on the two girls perfectly offset the recoil of the electromagnetic cannon.

Without giving a chance to react or deploy a shield, the enchanted bullets and dazzling light, flying at seven times the speed of sound, reached the front of the Desecration Ant Queen almost simultaneously, like two Spears of Judgment thrown by a god.

However, Olivia's shell hit her upper body, while Angie's shell targeted her lower body.

The enchanted aluminum bullets disintegrated upon hitting her at high speed, turning into a cloud of highly flammable and explosive aluminum dust, which ignited into a violent explosion by the magenta plasma smoke.

Boom——!!!

Flames soared into the sky.

The rocky steps beneath everyone's feet emitted a strained hum under the weight.

Half a minute later.

As the blood mist gradually dissipated, the upper body of the Ant Queen lay outside the darkness, with the keyhole on her head, possibly requiring a certain key to open, having been violently dismantled.

All that remained was a fist-sized, radiant "Star" floating up and down.

Information accompanying it was clearly visible.

[Seed of Space-Time]: A precious creation of witchcraft from the Clock Tower School, capable of crafting ultra-large spaces or expanding existing space areas without side effects.

The most common application is significantly expanding the area of the Witchcraft Garden!

For Aiven, the only Upper-Rank Wizard with a Witchcraft Garden, tears of gratitude involuntarily flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Aiven's Witchcraft Garden, after being severed from the Spirit Realm, had condensed into a small city of 8×10 kilometers. Including the periphery, which had turned into seawater, the total area of the Witchcraft Garden did not reach 100 square kilometers, merely 10,000 hectares.

While this land was adequate for supplying the needs of the School, Aiven's previous plan to grow a "Treasure Tree" within the Witchcraft Garden and mass-produce Legendary Battleships was difficult to realize.

With the Cosmic Dragon's Spatial Perception ability for detection, this treasure could expand the Witchcraft Garden by at least threefold, or 300 square kilometers. Under normal circumstances, this level could only be reached by a wizard upon advancing to Tier 4.

For Aiven, possessing the attribute of Nature's Favor, land was the most productive form of capital!

The Clock Tower truly was an indescribable treasure trove.

Aiven's gaze towards Milan in his claw turned slightly heated:

'Giving you a meaningful look, it would be outrageous if you couldn't capture this place in the future!'

Milan, powerless with dangling legs, shot back with a white-eyed look:

'Sweetie isn't available, Mrs. Moo can't be bothered with you!'

The two then reverted to human form, and Shadowy Tentacles, with a crackling sound, stepped forward to cradle the glittering star.

The scene in front of them transformed once again.

The group had quietly arrived at the fifth layer.

In the sky were countless colorful lines like an oil painting, layer upon layer, making it impossible to discern if this was two-dimensional or three-dimensional.

"Huh, are those... Silver Knights of the Dawn Church? What a twist of fate to meet them here."
