Virus King - Chapter 302

Chapter 302: Corrupt Insect King! Level Breakthrough!

TL: YYang

Its emerald-green body bore an enormous stinger and mouthparts, accompanied by six pairs of transparent wings that buzzed loudly as they flapped rapidly.

Most notable was its massive body.

Over two meters long.

Its large, seemingly bloated abdomen didn’t hinder its agility at all, evident from how swiftly it moved through the tunnel.

Was this the true master of the Plague Sewer?

Chen Bai’s gaze fell on the creature, and the Eye of Secrets provided immediate feedback.

[Corrupt Insect King—Level 35 BOSS]

[A special entity from another world, it appears to harbor unimaginable secrets!]

[Strength: 1547, Agility: 2354, Constitution: 2985, Spirit: 985]

[Skills: Corrupt Egg, Plague Injection, Life Drain, Plague Bloodline…]

Beyond its monstrous stats, the creature possessed a series of terrifying abilities, fully deserving its title as the guardian boss of a Hell-level Dungeon.

Chen Bai squinted slightly.

Clearly, the Corrupt Insect King was highly interested in the Plague Sun in his possession.

However, unlike the opportunistic Spirit of Plague, this insect king preferred to seize the initiative and attack directly!

Thus, as soon as Chen Bai locked eyes with it, the enormous and grotesque insect charged at him, its massive stinger aiming straight for his chest like a supersonic spear.

What an utterly unlovable creature!

In an instant, hellish black-and-red flames erupted around Chen Bai, enveloping him completely.

The next moment, an aura of black-and-red energy surged and wrapped tightly around him.

From behind him, wings manifested from the terrifying power of demonic energy.

Demon Transformation!

A burst of overwhelming power exploded forth, instantly more than doubling Chen Bai’s strength!

His robust four-dimensional attributes made him evenly matched against the charging insect king. The Claw Form granted by the Darklight Virus merged seamlessly with his demonic power.

At that moment, the insect king’s stinger, gleaming like polished metal and resembling a deadly spear, shot forward.

In a hair’s breadth, the stinger collided with Chen Bai’s claws.

Sparks flew in the dimly lit tunnel, an unexpectedly stark contrast in the shadows.

Below the stinger was a tail spike, just as sharp as a blade.

Every part of this creature’s body seemed born for combat, infused with plague energy.

But Chen Bai himself was born for war!

With a ferocious grab, he hurled the massive insect away!

The creature’s terrifying constitution prevented Chen Bai’s Darklight claws from piercing deep enough to cause serious harm.

It was clear that the Corrupt Insect King quickly realized this human was no pushover.

After emitting a screech, it refrained from attacking further.

Instead, its enormous abdomen began to writhe.

The next moment, the large stinger emitted a stream of purple-black mist that engulfed Chen Bai.

Sizzle!

A crisp sound echoed out.

It was the sound of Chen Bai’s clothing—a Nano Combat Suit he had scavenged from the Biochemical Zombie World—corroding and disintegrating.

Though the suit had lasted mere days, it was now quickly eaten away by the terrifying plague mist.

Yet Chen Bai remained unfazed.

In that moment, feedback from the Cosmic Will and the Eye of Secrets appeared once more.

[The Corrupt Insect King has used the skill “Plague Mist.” Your vitality will be significantly reduced…]

[Authority of Scourge of the Living: “Plague” has activated. Virus Sovereign talent is in effect…]

[+10 Evolution Points.]

Chen Bai raised an eyebrow and calmly walked out of the mist.

The Corrupt Insect King, visibly startled, froze in place.

What… what just happened?!

What kind of freak was this human?!

Why did its trump card skill have no effect on him?

The Spirit of Plague, which had fled as soon as the battle began, could have answered the insect king’s questions, but unfortunately, it was long gone.

As expected of an insect, its intelligence wasn’t particularly high. In mere moments, it regained its composure and charged forward once more. However, this time, Chen Bai wouldn’t grant it another opportunity.

While he could let the creature continue using its skills to rack up Evolution Points, enduring them was far from enjoyable!

More importantly, Chen Bai was far more interested in the potential loot from defeating this final boss of the Plague Sewer.

As the Corrupt Insect King charged again, Chen Bai plunged his claws into the ground.

Although the tunnel wasn’t as tight as some other parts of the sewer, it wasn’t exactly spacious either.

In an instant, Earth Spikes filled the entire passage.

Countless Filthy Fungi were pierced by the spikes, bursting open and transforming the corridor into a sea of purple mist.

The scene was equal parts surreal and sinister.

Suddenly.

A piercing screech echoed through the tunnel.

Not far from Chen Bai, the Earth Spikes had skewered the swollen abdomen of the Corrupt Insect King!

Streams of purple-green blood sprayed outward.

Its transparent wings trembled violently, flapping desperately in an attempt to escape the barrage of Earth Spikes. Unfortunately for the insect king, Chen Bai, in his Demon True Form, had vastly enhanced his strength. The full-powered Earth Spike assault wasn’t something so easily evaded!

It wasn’t that the Corrupt Insect King was weak. On the contrary, its earlier Plague Mist alone could have wiped out an entire team of evolvers.

However, Chen Bai was an utter counter to plague-type creatures.

And Chen Bai’s power was overwhelming!

As countless Earth Spikes repeatedly pierced through the insect king’s body, a notification from the Cosmic Will appeared in Chen Bai’s mind.

[You have slain the dungeon BOSS: “Corrupt Insect King (Level 35).” Experience gained: 200,000 points!]

[Your level has increased. Current level: 21. Strength +37, Agility +37, Constitution +43, Spirit +44. You have gained 20 Free Attribute Points.]

[The secret realm dungeon has been cleared. You may leave at any time.]

[The secret realm dungeon “Plague Sewer” has been cleared for the first time. The dungeon may be re-entered. All evolvers have a cooldown of 7 days before entering again.]

[Detected: Evolver No. 001 has cleared the secret realm dungeon for the first time. Would you like to pay to publish the dungeon walkthrough video?]

Just as Chen Bai thought the notifications had ended, a new message appeared!

[You have surpassed level 20. Strength multiplier increased! All attributes +100.]

[Your mission “Cult of the Plague” has made new progress!]
