Betrayed by the Succubus, I Raise a Twelve-winged Angel

Chapter 299 - 300: Kidnapping the Snow Maiden!

The moment the two Totem-Class Insectoids died, the entire swarm came to a halt.

In the face of Vera’s Life Domain, the swarm no longer charged fearlessly.

On the contrary, fear had crept into their eyes.

Previously, it was under the suppression of the two high-level Totem-Class Insectoids that the swarm could unite and exert its full strength.

But now, with the death of the two Totem-Class Insectoids....

The entire swarm was now leaderless!

Seeing the Life Domain released by Vera ahead, the insects gradually stopped in their tracks.

They moved no further forward.

They well understood that just stepping into this domain would drain their life force to death.

With the death of the high-level insects, lower tier insects would take over.

But...

The number of Half-Step Totem Level insects within the swarm was simply too many.

Every insect issued different commands, leading to....

As time passed, the swarm began to descend into chaos.

Gradually, the swarm separated into hundreds of groups.

Each group was led by a Half-Step Totem Level insect.

Observing this scene, Aster Grant pinched his chin, contemplating.

From this battle, he discovered....

The strength of the swarm was indeed formidable.

If one did not have measures to counter it.

With the sheer overwhelming numbers of the swarm....

It would need only two Totem Tier One Insectoids to lead the swarm to hunt down a Totem Tier Five entity.

If it weren’t for the Frost Serpent’s cunning, it would have been impossible to escape the encirclement of the swarm.

However, the weakness of the swarm was just as exceedingly obvious.

It was overly reliant on the leadership of the High-tier Insectoids.

By eliminating the leaders of the swarm, the remaining insects would pose no threat.

However....

Eliminating the leaders of the swarm wasn’t as simple as imagined.

If it weren’t for Vera, the natural enemy of these insects.

They would have virtually no chance of resolving the crisis posed by the swarm.

At this moment.

Lilith arrived at Aster Grant’s side, accompanied by the Snow Maiden.

"What should we do with the remaining insects?"

Lilith glanced at the remainder of the swarm.

Although Vera had killed a portion earlier, the number was still a mere fraction of the entire swarm.

Though split into over a hundred groups, each group’s numbers were still overwhelmingly large.

Even a normal Totem Tier One entity faced the risk of falling when encountering these swarms.

Aster Grant was equally troubled by this.

He couldn’t think of a better solution either.

Aster Grant had no choice but to turn towards Vera.

Since Vera had the ability to counter the insect swarm, he could only tentatively ask if Vera had any solutions.

After a moment of thought, Vera slowly spoke:

"Master, perhaps I can give it a try!"

After saying this, Vera mobilized a small portion of her Power of Life.

In the next moment.

A vine sprouted in the midst of the insect swarm.

Vera only used a tinge of Life Energy for this vine.

This small amount of Life Energy couldn’t even pose a threat to a Commander Level Insectoid.

Yet, strangely....

The swarm sensed the aura of the vine.

And bizarrely chose to avoid it, not daring to make any move against the vine, no matter how frail it was.

Witnessing this, Aster Grant was somewhat stunned.

Soon he understood the reason.

Perhaps the intellect of these insects was too low.

Earlier, Vera’s massive slaughter of the swarm had ensured that the entire swarm memorized her aura, marking her as their arch-enemy.

Upon encountering it, they’d instantly choose to evade.

"If that’s the case...."

Ideas began to form in Aster Grant’s mind.

Without a Totem-Class Insectoid leader, the swarm couldn’t discern any danger.

It was entirely feasible for Vera to use vines to encircle the whole Snow Domain.

Confine the swarm within the limits of the Snow Domain.

If the swarm roamed freely throughout the Alternate Space, the consequences could be catastrophic.

Therefore, containing them within the Snow Domain was the best solution.

However, if that’s the case....

Aster Grant’s gaze shifted to the Snow Maiden.

"Snow Maiden, I’m considering letting Vera encircle the swarm within the Snow Domain, what do you think?"

"Of course, I will ensure Vera surrounds the territories of the Snow Kingdom to prevent the swarm from approaching."

But.

The Snow Maiden was still in shock.

She couldn’t believe that Aster Grant, of Monarch Tier One, actually managed to deal with two Totem-Class Insectoids.

Moreover, the bothersome swarm was effortlessly resolved in Aster Grant’s hands.

All these events exceeded her understanding as someone who mostly dwelled within Snow Caves as a recluse.

Noticing the Snow Maiden’s lack of reaction, Lilith nudged her lightly with her elbow, frowning.

"Little Snow? What are you thinking? We’re asking you something."

Prompted by Lilith’s reminder, the Snow Maiden eventually returned to her senses.

"Alright, alright!"

Upon realizing Aster Grant’s plan, the Snow Maiden promptly agreed.

After all, confining the swarm within the Snow Domain was purely beneficial for her.

Considering that the Snow Kingdom’s strength was relatively weak.

Moreover, with the only deterrent, the Snow Guardian, lost in this crisis.

If the Snow Kingdom faced a Demon Clan attack next, it would certainly be incredibly perilous.

In fact, any attack from the Demon Clan meant the Snow Kingdom would stand no chance in resistance.

However....

By confining the swarm within the Snow Domain.

This effectively created a natural barrier beyond the Snow Kingdom.

The Swarm would not differentiate between Xenos, the Human Race, and the Demon Clan.

All races were their food.

Therefore, if the Demon Clan attempted to invade the Snow Kingdom, they would first face the swarm’s onslaught.

Consenting to Aster Grant’s proposal had no drawback for the Snow Kingdom.

"I have no objections!"

The Snow Maiden nodded decisively, indicating she had no issues whatsoever.

Seeing the Snow Maiden’s agreement, Aster Grant instructed Vera to proceed to the border of the Snow Domain to address the matter.

The swarm was crashing around recklessly, and without promptly restricting them.

Soon enough, they might escape the Snow Domain, posing a threat to other races.

The Angel Race was closest to the Snow Domain.

Therefore, this action needed immediate completion.

Within the boundaries of the Snow Kingdom, nearly all Vicious Beasts were already extinct now.

The Demon Clan wouldn’t appear in the Snow Domain at this moment either.

Thus, Aster Grant allowed Vera to handle the matter on her own.

After Vera left, Aster Grant’s gaze fell on the Snow Maiden.

He signaled to Lilith with a glance.

He bore another purpose this time, and that was to see if he could lure the Snow Maiden over.

Lilith noticed Aster Grant’s subtle action, her mouth twitching slightly.

The first matter with the quota wasn’t forming a contract with her.

But instead, forming a contract with her best friend.

Thinking it over, she still decided to help Aster Grant.

After all, she and Aster Grant shared a Blood Covenant, which sufficed for now.

But the Snow Maiden....

Given the chaotic situation now, one misplaced step might mean she’d never see her again.

In a comprehensive evaluation, it was safer for the Snow Maiden to become Aster Grant’s Beastbond.
