Systemless in a Parallel World-Chapter 79 Ablaze

While the Gluttony Termite Spirit infiltrated the enemy's territory, Zayn and his Spirts finished up with the unpleasant task of the gel sac removal of the remaining Gluttony Termites.

It didn't take up too much time since they were almost done already. Once they had finished their side-task, Zayn and the Spirits made a detour around a bunch of termite mounds before they found themselves in the midst of a small flat elevation that seemed inconspicuous at the first glance.

However, what nobody knew was that he was currently right above the Mutant Gluttony Termite Queen's lair. If he had the means to simply walk through physical masses as if they don't exist, he would end up in the midst of hundreds of thousands of termite eggs with the Queen in the midst.

The Gluttony Termite Spirit halted in its tracks when it emerged in front of the lair that it had never entered before. For a moment, it almost seemed as if the Spirit was hesitating to go ahead but it was forced to complete the mission it had been given by the Master whom the Spirit was forced to follow with unwavering loyalty.

Following the tasks it had been given, the Spirit's mandibles began to crush one termite egg after another brutally.

At first, the Mutant Queen didn't notice anything. The Queen was focused on laying more eggs and her back was facing the Gluttony Termite Spirit. However, it was only a matter of time before the Queen noticed that something was off. It was more of an instinct than actually sensing that something bad was going on when she turned around, just to see that dozens of her eggs had been destroyed.

While the Gluttony Termite Spirit was now trying to run for its life, Zayn waited patiently at the surface. He spent some time analyzing his surrounding area with the help of his two Sparrow Spirits, but that was already it. There was not too much for him to do except to wait.

But just when he thought that his Spirit was getting closer to the surface, things changed gradually. Zayn felt as if something was forcefully pulled out from the deepest parts of his body, his legs gave in and he slumped to the ground, unable to stay on his feet.

Violent spasms rocked his body and he coughed blood while his connection with the Gluttony Termite Spirit was forcefully severed.

The pain was only temporary and Zayn regained control of his body after a mere second. He stopped coughing up blood as well. However, the shock lasted much longer.

"This…my connection was cut off?" Zayn mumbled to himself in a disbelieving voice. He sensed that his connection with the Gluttony Termite Spirit had been cut off and that the Spirit had been removed from this world, and sent to the afterlife. The sudden removal of the Spirit caused a backlash to Zayn, who didn't expect anything to happen.

He had been taken by surprise and realized only now that the Mutant Gluttony Termite Queen was highly likely to be the cause of the Spirit's true death.

It would be a lie if he were to say that he was not surprised, but rather than being afraid, Zayn felt that his interest in the Mutant Queen was increasing.

"Looks like you are more than just a Termite…"

Zayn was more than just satisfied with his recent discovery. He got up from the ground and ordered the Sparrow Spirits to come down to the ground where they waited for more orders.

However, instead of giving his Sparrow Spirits new orders immediately, Zayn spends some time getting his hands on a few more Gluttony Termite Spirits. It was not easy to move only a few Gluttony Termites toward him because they were social monsters that seemed to like traveling to the surface or for that matter, just about anywhere, in large groups.

Zayn made things work and it was only a matter of time before he started his second attempt to move the Mutant Gluttony Termite Queen outside her lair. He sent the four Gluttony Termite Spirits he had gotten his hands on, in addition to his two Sparrow Spirits that squeezed themselves through the narrow opening to get inside the termite mound.

This was dangerous, and the Sparrow Spirits had too little space to spread their wings, let alone to feel comfortable but that was not important.

He was already taking a risk sending six Spirits beneath the surface, knowing damn well that the four Gluttony Termite Spirits were fated to die as well.

But now that Zayn was prepared for the death of the Gluttony Termite Spirits things would end differently. He would still feel the backlash but his connection with the four Gluttony Termite Spirits was barely existent. He used as few soul particles as possible to manifest the Spirits as well.

Thus, he was somewhat fine when the Gluttony Termite Spirits were devoured by the Mutant Gluttony Termite Queen as they attacked her. They could hardly injure the Termite Queen but that was not what they were tasked to do, either way.

Their mission had been to attack the Termite Queen to distract her long enough for the two Sparrow Spirits to find their way to the lair as well. The Sparrow Spirits manifested several small fire needles to set the slimy lair ablaze before they released two big fire needles that targeted the Mutant Gluttony Termite Queen.

She was hit and injured the moment she finished off the four Gluttony Termite Spirits. Meanwhile, the Sparrow Spirits hurried back now that they had finished their mission.

'Good thing that the Liar of the Queen is separated from the other termite mounds,' Zayn thought, glad that the memories of his first Gluttony Termite Spirit had been of great use.

While the liar started to burn down, the Termite Queen pursued the two Sparrow Spirits in rage. She didn't even realize when they had already reached the surface, let alone that the Sparrow Spirit didn't fly in the air where they could escape the pursuit of the Termite Queen. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶

On the contrary, it was almost as if the Sparrow Spirits were waiting for the raging Termite Queen.

However, it was not only the Sparrow Spirits who waited for the Termite Queen but also Zayn and his other Spirits!
