Chapter 296: Nemesis of The Swarm!
And around the Elf Illusion...
There were several verdant Dragons of Life swirling and hovering around Vera’s Elf Illusion. They were not real creatures, but manifestations formed purely from condensed Life Energy.
Each dragon radiated a shimmering glow, its scales glinting with an emerald luster.
Seeing this scene, Aster Grant decided to fan the flames.
The higher Vera’s attributes, the stronger the power she could unleash.
And to enhance that power...
"Soul-devouring!"
A deep voice resounded, and red spiritual power surged forth like a tide, instantly enveloping the entire field.
Vera, Veridia, Lazuli, and even Lilith in the distance, all became enshrouded.
In an instant, the aura of all the beastbonds began to escalate fiercely, like a dormant volcano suddenly awakening.
The air buzzed with the tremors of energy, as if the entire space was quaking in response.
The most astonishing change was happening with Vera.
Her whole being burst into a dazzling emerald light, with life energy circulating tangibly around her.
The Dragons of Life circling her seemed equally inspired, letting out clear dragon cries, their forms becoming more substantial.

Under the blessing of the Life Spirit Form and Aster Grant’s Soul-devouring Talent...
Vera’s spiritual attribute soared to 1280000, while her other attributes reached the height of 800000.
Furthermore, the surrounding life energy was so abundant that it transformed into visible green streams, continually being absorbed into Vera’s body.
With the support of this power, her attributes surged wildly once more—
An increase of a full million points!
Meanwhile, Veridia and Lazuli also liberated their combat forms.
The black Ghost Qi and the crimson Fire of Destruction suddenly erupted.
However...
Their aura was not as terrifying as Vera’s.
But for an ordinary Monarch of The Swarm...
It was enough to become their nightmare!
At this moment, Vera hovered in mid-air, her long hair dancing like streams of life energy.
Her aura had climbed to its peak, her eyes a profound emerald green.
She spoke softly, like a chant, like a declaration:
"Reincarnation."
The giant Elf Illusion in the sky slowly spread its arms, its gestures solemn and sacred, as if ready to embrace the entire sky and earth.
In an instant, The Swarm within several miles seemed bound by invisible shackles, frozen in place.
Their hissing abruptly stopped, their grotesque limbs petrified in the air, as if the entire battlefield had been paused.
Then, a chilling transformation began—
From the hard, black carapace of The Swarm, a touch of tender green unexpectedly sprouted.
That green spread, expanded, and in the blink of an eye, transformed into resilient wild grasses.
The grass leaves unfolded, then bloomed with vibrant flowers, as if spring had suddenly descended on this field of death.
Meanwhile, the bodies of The Swarm began to shrivel and wither at a terrifying speed.
Their shells dulled, limbs snapped like dry branches, and even the Monarch Level of The Swarm was not spared—
Under Vera’s move, imbued with the Law of Life, they were no different from Low Tier of The Swarm, forced to helplessly watch their life being madly drained.
In just a moment, the entire battlefield transformed into a bizarre sea of flowers.
Countless blossoms flourished over the carcasses of The Swarm, resplendent yet eerie, like a grand and brutal funeral.
And the next moment—
All the flowers simultaneously withered, their petals fluttering like snowflakes, transforming into dots of emerald light in the air.
This abundant life energy, like rivers converging into the sea, surged toward Vera, merging with her being, causing her aura to rise once more.
This is the true function of the skill "Reincarnation"!
In the distance, two Totem-Class Insectoid stared fixedly at the battlefield.
Their expressions grew increasingly sullen, their compound eyes flickering with hesitance and uncertainty.
"Damn it!"
The voice of the green insectoid was hoarse and twisted, "Are we The Swarm... really going to be stopped by a single elf today?"
"Stopped? Impossible!"
The eyes of the red insectoid flashed with a vicious fierceness:
"She can absorb life, true, but with her current level, there must be a limit!"
"The human raised her once, can he raise her a second time?"
It suddenly raised its forelimb, pointing to the still-expanding green domain, "This time, even if it costs lives, we must get through!"
"But... such losses..."
The green insectoid remained hesitant, gazing at the waves of The Swarm turning to ashes ahead, its voice carrying clear doubt.
"Have you forgotten the orders of ’those masters’?!"
The red insectoid cut in sharply, its voice chilling.
The green insectoid’s form suddenly stiffened.
Yes, they were commanded to establish a foothold in this world, to await the stabilization of The Void channel and the true arrival of the "masters."
If they couldn’t even break through this initial line of defense...
The last trace of hesitation in its eyes vanished, replaced by the characteristic coldness and cruelty of The Swarm:
"... I’ll listen to you."
"Even if we have to pave the road with bodies, we will push through!"
It suddenly lifted its head, letting out a piercing screech that tore through the battlefield—
"Full assault!!"
The next moment, the swarm of insects surged again, a black flood of despair rushing madly towards Vera’s direction.
They trampled over the corpses of their kin, ignoring the vanguard perishing in front, launching a suicidal charge with the purest and most savage numbers.
Vera’s emerald eyes remained serene as she slowly raised her hands, unfolding the Life Domain to its fullest.
The emerald light burst forth, forming a barrier reaching up to the heavens, solemnly spanning the battlefield.
Then—
The black tide of destruction collided fiercely with the Bulwark of Life!
Countless Insectoids withered, blossomed, and withered again as they entered the domain...
Yet the swarm continued relentlessly, undeterred.
Indeed, as the two Totem-Class had speculated.
Vera’s control over Life Energy had its limits.
However, this limit...
Under the blessing of Aster Grant’s Soul-devouring Talent, had been infinitely elevated!
.... .....
In a barren, desolate land, several authoritative voices emerged from the void—
They belonged to several High-tier Insect Races, their forms almost imperceptible to the naked eye, communicating directly through will.
"The death rate of Low Tier citizens is abnormal... the resistance of that world far exceeds estimation."
"Could this be a trap set by the Demon Clan?"
"Impossible! The Demon Clan is equally repelled by the world’s laws, unable to descend on a large scale—it must be another reason."
After a brief and efficient exchange of consciousness, the initial voice spoke again, with irrefutable authority:
"In that case, continue deploying Low Tier of The Swarm—crush them with numbers."
"As you command!"
From all directions came countless responding hisses, as if the entire lifeless land awakened at that moment.
