Looking at the Golden Patterned Worm in front of him, although Richard had no idea what it was bellowing about, he still mustered all of his concentration.

This creature had a formidable physique, and it also possessed a special skill. That golden blade light from before was worlds apart from the strikes of ordinary insects.

After the tough talk, the Mother Worm Guards’ figure flashed, and a golden blade light once more aimed for Richard’s neck.

This time, Richard was prepared. The Great Sword in his hand traced a strange arc, just barely blocking the golden blade light.

Clang!

The Demon Eater Sword clashed with the Golden Patterned Blade Arm, and surprisingly, the blade showed some minor chipping.

...

Richard offered a cold smile as the black flame atop the Demon Eater Sword instantly spread along the blade arm.

The final Core Magic of the Demon Eater Sword was named Erosion Fire, a flame that consumed the Life Energy within Flesh, especially effective against beings with strong flesh regeneration capabilities.

Seeing this, the Mother Worm Guards’ arms shone brightly, the golden light instantly engulfing the black flames.

Although the black flames of the Demon Eater Sword burnt Magic Power, it was clear that this insect’s inner energy was different from a Wizard’s Magic Power. Under the repulsion of the golden light, the black flames were rapidly extinguished.

Yet even as quick as it was quenched, the black flame still gave the Mother Worm Guards a shock. It thought to itself, “Lucky that it met me; had another insect encountered this fire, it would likely have burnt to ashes before stopping.”

But before it could ponder any longer, Richard’s Spell was already on its way.

A pitch-black Fireball, devoid of any grandeur, flew towards it, yet within the Fireball, the Mother Worm Guards sensed a fear of death.

There was no time to think, and the Mother Worm Guards spread its wings behind it, its speed surging instantly, narrowly evading the range of the Heart of Annihilation’s damage.

But the other insects weren’t so fortunate.

The pitch-black Fireball suddenly expanded, engulfing a Samurai Worm’s upper body in an instant. The extreme heat at the edge of the magic carbonized the wound immediately, a strange, burnt scent permeating the air.

“He actually dodged.” Richard’s expression was tense, the speed of the Golden Patterned Worm, once its wings were spread, reached an astounding level, even surpassing Richard’s reaction speed.

Richard’s spiritual power could clearly pinpoint its position, but by the time his brain caught up, it had already moved from that spot. His Magic Barrier was continuously breached, and after the Mother Worm Guards spread its wings, each strike reached a shocking Energy Level of five hundred.

“Ulysses, restrain him for me!”

“Caw, restrain him?” Ulysses spat out a glob of Annihilation Flame, turning a Samurai Worm trying to sneak attack into ash.

Richard was now on a Battlefield, and while his focus was entirely on the Mother Worm Guards, it was up to Ulysses and the Alchemy Golem to deal with those sneaky insects.

“You can’t even handle that?” Richard kept swinging the Great Sword, fending off the strikes that penetrated his Magic Barrier. But amid such intense combat, the blade of the Demon Eater Sword was almost becoming a saw.

“Caw, who says I can’t! Just wait!” Ulysses shouted. The Flames on its body suddenly gathered in its mouth. With a roll of its eyes, it locked onto the silhouette of the Mother Worm Guards. Opening its beak, a black chain of fire instantly entangled the Mother Worm Guards.

To the perception of the World Master, the speed of the Mother Worm Guards was just like a slightly faster snail.

“Perfect opportunity!” Richard’s eyes sharpened, Magic Power within him surged wildly, and in a blink, he released two Hearts of Annihilation.

The Mother Worm Guard, unable to dodge due to the fire chains, was half-engulfed by the Heart of Annihilation and instantly turned to nothingness.

With a pained cry, its life force flickered out in an instant.

Seeing this, Richard felt a weight lifted from his heart.

This worm was far more terrifying than any standard Samurai Worm.

“Ulysses, bring that half of the body over to me.” Richard ordered casually.

One of the great benefits of the Plane War was the acquisition of specimens. In the Plane Battlefield, Wizards could obtain first-hand biological specimens.

“Caw, what do you think I am? An errand runner?” Ulysses grumbled, but its body flapped its wings and dashed like black lightning to grab the half-corpse of the Mother Worm Guards, even taking the opportunity to peck at it.

“Caw, tastes good.”

As soon as the corpse was in hand, Richard sensed a minor reaction from the Miracle Furnace.

[Material: Golden Patterned Black Crystal Worm Corpse]

[Extractable Skill: Burst Slash]

[Extraction Cost: Ten spiritual powers]

[Extractable Substance: Golden Patterned Black Crystal Worm Bloodline]

[Extraction Cost: 2000 Magic Power]

[Extractable Substance: Pure Gold]

[Extraction Cost: 10000 Magic Power]

“Pure Gold!” Richard’s heart trembled, no wonder this worm could easily break his Magic Barrier. Pure Gold was a material with an extremely high Magic Resistance, excellent for crafting either armor or melee weapons.

However, Pure Gold wasn’t the most intriguing information to Richard.

“What special quality does this worm have,” Richard mused, for it was the first time he could extract a Skill from a creature’s corpse, “Why can the Miracle Furnace extract a Skill from this worm’s body, and not from a human’s?”

But alas, he was on a Battlefield at the moment, and Richard truly did not have the time to delve into the mysteries.

Every time the strategic weapons of the Black Crystal Worm Clan were fired, they caused some losses to the White Wizard Army, thereby affecting their efficiency in clearing out the insects. The consumption of the Slave Army also accelerated with the emergence of the golden patterned worms; if those strategic weapons weren’t destroyed soon, the White Wizards in the sky might fare somewhat better, but the Black Wizards like themselves would definitely not have a good outcome.

Refining the skill known as Burst Slash, Richard instantly mastered this skill.

Regrettably, this skill required the muscular structure of the golden patterned worms and the special energy within the insect’s body, which Richard couldn’t utilize at the moment.

Continuing to push towards the strategic weapons, Richard soon converged with several other Black Wizards.

“Richard! Did you encounter those golden patterned worms?” Ali inquired.

After several hours of battle, the flames on Ali’s body had dimmed, and she had also sustained many wounds. As she spoke, she held several Magic Stones in her hand to replenish her Magic Power.

“Yes, I did. Have you encountered them too?”

Richard glanced at the several Black Wizards. All these wizards were One Ring Wizards, and if they encountered golden patterned worms, the losses were likely to be significant.

“You encountered them?” one of the Black Wizards exclaimed in surprise.

This Black Wizard followed the Physique path and stood over two meters tall, his body covered with deep bone-deep slashes.

Just moments ago, these Black Wizards had worked together to kill a Mother Worm Guard, and for this, their meat shield was almost skinned alive.

Yet Richard, alone with a Magic Statue, seemed unscathed after encountering a Mother Worm Guard.

Without saying much, Richard directly took out the halved corpse of the worm from his Magic Pocket.

“The corpse is here.”

A shock flashed through the eyes of the Black Wizards. They had all witnessed the astonishing speed and queer demon-breaking slashes of the golden patterned worms, and the fact that such a fearsome foe had been slain solo by Richard was truly unbelievable.

Yet the fact was as such, and after their shock, the Black Wizards immediately chose to follow Richard.

Black Wizards respected the strong, and although Richard wasn’t a Second Ring Wizard, his strength to single-handedly kill a Mother Worm Guard was sufficient for them to follow him.

Five hundred meters ahead of Richard, a Mother Goddess Cannon was firing shells.

And within the guard unit of the Mother Goddess Cannon, Richard clearly saw two Mother Worm Guards.

“Ulysses, you’ll be responsible for capturing those two worms,” Richard whispered his instruction.

As long as Ulysses could trap them, Richard could use the Heart of Annihilation to resolve them.

“Gah, sure, just little bugs. Leave me some flesh later; they taste quite good.”

Richard’s eye twitched twice, looking at the worms bursting in front of him…

Taste good?

The thoughts of birds and humans indeed differed.

“You guys, clear the small fry later. I’ll handle the two golden patterned worms. Just keep yourselves safe,” Richard instructed Ulysses, then turned his head to give orders.

It was unfortunate that he hadn’t encountered a Second Ring Wizard; otherwise, this demolition operation would have been much easier.

These golden patterned worms might be powerful, but they were only Level 1 Creatures. Against the reaction of a Second-level Creature with a basic physique of one hundred points, these worms were merely faster snails.

But Richard forgot one thing: the Black Crystal Worms were also Second and Third Level.

Second Ring Wizards attracted, there would surely be Second Ring Level worms that came to stop them. The reason they had it so easy was that those Second and Third Ring Wizards elsewhere had drawn the attention of the worms.

These Second and Third Ring Wizards were the focus of the worm swarm’s response.

“You’re going to handle it? The battlefield is not the place for boasting,” one wizard frowned and said.

The magic fluctuations of this wizard were very strong, already at the limit of a One Ring Wizard, just one Promotion Ceremony shy of becoming a Second Ring Wizard.

“Whether it’s boasting or not, you will see soon enough.”

Richard responded coldly, and turned to issue a command to the Alchemy Golem.

“Straight ahead, five hundred meters, launch Annihilation Bullets.”

Upon receiving the command, the Alchemy Golem’s back immediately extended a cannon barrel.

“Understood.”

A hissing sound was heard as an Annihilation Bullet landed next to the Mother Goddess Cannon, a blinding white light instantly engulfing several Warrior Worms.

“What’s going on! Why is there an attack!” a Priest worm asked in panic.

But he didn’t receive a response before another Annihilation Bullet came crashing down.

Boom!

This time, the Annihilation Bullet landed right on the Mother Goddess Cannon.

The blinding white light exploded on the Mother Goddess Cannon, instantly blasting a hole in it, with streams of molten metal piercing through the cannon like a sieve.

The flesh of the Mother Goddess Cannon writhed, attempting to repair the wound, but the third and fourth Annihilation Bullets had already descended.

Another loud explosion and the Mother Goddess Cannon was nearly blown in half, on the verge of losing its reactivity.

The Priest worm acted decisively, immediately throwing two Warrior Worms into the Mother Goddess Cannon, while he himself utilized the Divine Power unique to a Priest worm. The Black Crystal on his forehead emitted beams of white light, forming a net in the air, stopping the remaining Annihilation Bullets.

After intercepting them, the Priest worm’s two tentacles lashed out, sending out a spiritual wave from his center that rippled outward, instantly reflecting the actions of Richard and his group into the Priest worm’s brain.

Seeing that the source of the damage to the Mother Goddess Cannon was these insects, the Priest worm was enraged:

“Mother Worm Guards! Kill those insects!”
