Symphony for the Insect Princess

"An artificial life form created through alchemy... Why does it look exactly like the eldest daughter of the city lord's family?"

And looking at the way they were placed, evenly spaced outside the altar, with Stella in the center, it was simply...

Like a sacrifice.

Sarco shuddered at the thought. "Sacrifice" has always been an important part of magic throughout the ages, but nowadays sacrifices are made with objects or magical beasts. Almost all magic that requires human sacrifice is considered black magic.

Had the shady plot set up a human sacrifice spell here? And used a wizard and six apparently advanced alchemical creatures at once?

Furthermore, the chaotic flow of magic power within the earth's veins was already evident. Undoubtedly, a massive amount of magic power was converging at this point! Not only was it a sacrifice, but such a massive amount of magic power was required? What kind of magic was this?!

"Hey, hey, hey... No way... Could it be..."

A thick and dark feeling rose in Sarko's heart.

Not "uneasy".

But it is real "fear".

"No way... No way no way no way no way damn it!!!"

This is not a ceremony at all.

The use of human sacrifice is only to further increase the power.

"It's a forbidden spell!!!!"

Sarco roared, drawing his sword and pointing it at Stella, but he hesitated and retracted the sword. Stella had already been made into the "core," and killing her rashly might cause the forbidden spell to spiral out of control, causing even greater disasters! The same would apply to rescuing her hastily.

At this moment, a strange magical fluctuation suddenly emerged, sticky and heavy, giving people goose bumps all over their bodies, as if countless small insects were crawling all over their bodies!

The forbidden spell has entered the countdown to activation!!!

"Depend on!!!!!"

Sarko didn't hesitate at all. He took one last look at Stella and turned away, increasing his speed to the limit! Stella twisted her body in pain, her abdomen swelled, and veins bulged all over her body, which was extremely terrifying!

Chapter 111 Forbidden Spell (Part )

Sarko didn't hesitate at all. He took one last look at Stella and turned away, increasing his speed to the limit! Stella twisted her body in pain, her abdomen swelled, and veins bulged all over her body, which was extremely terrifying!

The thing that the strange girl had forced upon her was now throbbing violently, causing excruciating pain! Without a doubt, that thing was the "primer" needed to prepare the forbidden spell. Now, with nowhere to escape and her last hope, Sarko, abandoned, she could no longer be saved!

"Ooo ...

Forbidden spells, taboo arts, are titles given to extremely dangerous or extremely unethical magic! It is both the greatest compliment to a type of magic, and the greatest insult to it! All magic that is labeled as forbidden spells, without exception, will cause irreversible and uncontrollable damage to creatures, the environment, and even space and time within a huge range. It is the most terrifying magic! In ancient times, there were many magicians or magic warriors who mastered forbidden spells. In that mythical era, there are countless stories of powerful people using forbidden spells to burn down entire cities or even entire countries in anger! Although all discovered forbidden spells are permanently controlled today, and in principle, no one is allowed to learn them, there are still a few forbidden spell mages/forbidden spell warriors in the world. It is even said that the basic requirement for being recognized as a sage or war emperor is to master at least one forbidden spell!

“Wuwu——wu——!!!!!!”

----------------

The method of obtaining forbidden spells is very simple.

Many forbidden spells are secretly passed down by very ancient families, and many are discovered from ancient relics such as ruins and ancient forbidden books. Some people who have mastered forbidden spells voluntarily pass them on to outsiders, but these are only very rare cases.

There are even fewer, that is "self-invented".

Unfortunately, as far as I know, there are no forbidden spells related to insects handed down in the world today. Even if there really is one, I will most likely not have the chance to come into contact with it.

So I had to spend more time and invent it myself.

If you can't even do this, how can you expect to wipe out the Blood Emperor?

The spell that is about to be launched is the third forbidden spell - "Fog City". I think the name of magic should be misleading. The name "Fog City" can easily make people think that this is a magic related to water or illusion.

By the way, I can also activate Fog City directly without sacrifice or calling upon earth magic, but that would defeat the purpose of preparing for the next stage.

Stella's belly on the magic crystal screen was getting bigger and bigger, and many dense things were crawling under her skin, entering the countdown.

"Hey, is this really a forbidden spell? Are you going to use it now? Are you crazy?! Stop it now--"

“It’s so scary ahh ...

Charlotte and Qimila yelled in panic, while Sedroon and Aisia stared at the magic crystal screen, holding their breath, not wanting to miss any details.

"No, I can't. After all, I've been here for two months, and so have you. Whenever a person visits a place, they leave traces. If you want to completely erase the fact that you've been there, the simplest and safest way is to destroy everything that can be destroyed."

...or something like that, this is just one of the reasons, but casting a forbidden spell just for this would be too much of a fuss.

I do this for three reasons.

One is to erase the fact that he had been here.

The second is to further demonstrate strength to them and tell them the gap in strength.

Thirdly…it’s about Miss Stella and also about the next move.

"Hey, wait a minute, Zelah."

"Just call me Nyrlis... Nyle is fine too, I don't mind. Is there anything wrong, Sedraon?"

"...You, don't want to chant?"

"Chant?"

"It's fine to use normal magic without chanting, and most beast taming magic doesn't require chanting either, but... there's no such thing as a forbidden spell that can skip the chant!"

"I invented the forbidden spell myself, and I removed this restriction during the research phase. Why would I add something as troublesome as 'chanting'?"

"Varied--!?"

----------------

"What the hell! What is this!!!"

The rumbling sound made I.A and the other four people dizzy. It was the sound of an extremely powerful torrent of magic power surging back and forth! The strange and sticky magic fluctuations had intensified to the extreme!

After Sarco suddenly let them go, they quietly followed Sarco forward, but just when they reached the center and had not looked inside to see what was going on, something strange suddenly happened!

at this time--

Swish! ! !

A silver figure flashed by, stirring up a storm that blew the four people all over the place. It was Sarko! Even someone as strong as him was actually fleeing with all his might!

"This is definitely not a small matter!"

"But this sound... a forbidden spell?"

"Are you kidding me? I've lived for so long and have never seen a forbidden spell with my own eyes! How is it possible... impossible?"

"But what else do you think can scare the living crap out of a War Spirit..."

"..."

"Hey, guys, take a look..."

Nicholas, who had already reached the entrance to the large cave where the altar was located, pointed inside with a stiff expression.

“““……!!!!!”””

A huge altar.

Six incubators containing naked girls emitted a dazzling blue light.

Countless magical power continued to flow into the core of the altar.

There, a woman—or something that looked like a woman—was struggling desperately. Her body had swelled up like a balloon, her skin completely black.

"This……"

“Run away!!!!!!!”

At that moment,

Stella's body exploded completely.

If you magnify the scene of a balloon filled with black ink bursting on the ground ten million times, you will see the scene before your eyes.

An extremely dense black fog, thicker and stickier than ink, exploded from Stella's center, spreading frantically in all directions at an incredible speed! This substance was extremely strange, maintaining a high degree of unity while spreading at an extremely fast rate. It seemed scattered, but in reality it was a whole, as if it had its own consciousness! The huge underground cavity was filled in an instant, and the pervasive black fog penetrated every crack in the cavity, and the four people at the entrance became its first target!

"what!?"

"'Don't come over here'!!!"

Lin Mei's voice magic activated, creating a barrier mixed with sonic booms that blocked the four people. Normally, anything that hit the barrier would be shattered, but the black fog was completely unaffected! The barrier only held up for a moment before completely dissipating, like paper!

"This fog—it can absorb magic power!?"

“Go damn fast—GAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!”

Harry had barely uttered these words when the first wisp of the pursuing black mist struck his arm! Even with only the slightest contact, this battle-hardened warrior let out a wail of agony! From the point where the black mist had made contact with his arm, the skin, flesh, and meridians began to rapidly disintegrate! The disintegrated flesh also transformed into black mist, further corroding his flesh. In an instant, his arm was reduced to mere bones!

“Damn it!!!!!!”

Harry roared, his magic wrapped around his intact hand, and then slashed down at his arm -

late.

His arms had completely turned to white bones, and the black fog had already corroded his torso, making it impossible to dispel it. It was too late to amputate his limbs.

After a moment of slowing down, more black fog came and submerged his body in the blink of an eye.

In the moment before he lost consciousness, he finally understood one thing.

This is not some black fog.

It's a bug.

Hundreds of millions and trillions of tiny black bugs, smaller than sesame seeds, gathered together and moved in groups. At first glance, they looked no different from the thick black fog.

These little bugs can devour magic power and flesh, and can use the flesh they eat as a medium to multiply more of their own kind in the blink of an eye. This is why the eroded flesh will also turn into part of the black mist.

A black fog passed by.

In the huge underground passage, the mercenary captain has become a skeleton.

Not far away, there were three other skeletons lying on the ground in a twisted manner, still maintaining the posture of their struggle in life.

Chapter 112 Forbidden Spell (Part )

Kasolu, in the city——

The insect monsters that had been engaged in a fierce battle with the people remaining in the city suddenly stopped, as if sensing something, and retreated like a tide. The once prosperous city was now in ruins, with collapsed buildings, crumbling streets, and unknown bodies everywhere. Seeing the sudden retreat of the insect tide, the people were puzzled but also heartfelt joy, their tense nerves relaxed. However—

"Ok?"

When the first wisp of strange black mist emerged from the cracks in the road, no one paid any attention.

People only took notice when black mist began to seep out of every crack in the ground throughout the city.

When extremely terrifying magical fluctuations appeared along with the black fog and enveloped the entire city, people began to panic.

"What? This is..."

“This is bad, hurry up!!”

“Ooo ...

The first scream, the first of its legs reduced to bones, signaled the city's ground to ripples from beneath! Thousands upon thousands of columns of black mist formed, breaking free from the confines of the underground, carrying with them a vast and unparalleled magical power that spread throughout the city! From above, it was like an inky flower blooming in clear water, instantly stained everything in black!

Everyone in the city reacted with the same initial reaction: defense! Magic shields, magic armor, and all manner of magical tools—everyone employed their own methods to resist the invasion of the black fog, but it was all in vain! Magic shields were penetrated, magic armor was destroyed, and magical tools were useless against the pervasive black fog!

“No—no no no no no no!!!!”

“Save me save me save me save me save me save me save me save me!!!!!”

“My—body—why—isn’t—!!!!!!”

"Mom... Dad... I... it hurts... it hurts..."

“Hurry… run—Ughh ...

The resistance lasted only seconds before it was declared over. Everyone still in the city—mercenaries, adventurers, outlaws, the remaining members of the investigation team, and the few civilians who hadn't left the city, a total of over a hundred thousand people—was completely engulfed in the black mist! Every ounce of flesh and blood was devoured by the black mist, and every living being was reduced to bones. No one could resist, and even mages and war spirits could only barely survive for a few more seconds! The black mist was like the breath of the goddess of death. Guilty and innocent, male and female, young and old, everyone was doomed to the same death!

Even more terrifying was the fact that the vast majority of people's only hope—teleportation magic—had lost its effectiveness. With the entire region's magic power cut off by the black fog, even this last resort of escape had become useless! Kasolu City had become a prison of death, a cradle of slaughter, from which no one could escape!

Wuu ...

The rushing black fog wailed like countless ghosts. It was the sound of the trillions of tiny black insects that made up the fog, flying, gnawing, and invading everything! Their target was every animal they encountered: humans, birds, beasts, demonic beasts, and even other insects!

boom--! ! ! ! ! ! !

From the moment the black fog exploded from the ground, enveloped the entire city, and annihilated all the animals in it, it took less than a minute from beginning to end! But it wasn't over yet. The black fog passed over the city walls, centered in Kasolu City, and spread in all directions on the wind! Not only Kasolu City, but the entire area under its jurisdiction was targeted!

The most inhumane terrorist attack in the world is the absolute devastation caused by forbidden spells.
