Chapter 912 Get Lost, You Stupid Bugs!

Dozens of bigger insects raided the small group of four, taking advantage of this situation. This time there was nowhere for the group to escape.

Alex tried her best to use the divine shield to hold off, but the situation had gone completely out of their control. They had finally lost it. Everyone was about to be fully and utterly demolished.

She clenched her shield and her sword tightly in her hands as she stood firm, preparing to go all out on this next attack, no matter what the result was.

Haaaa! She shouted at the top of her lungs and erected another divine shield barrier. However, to her surprise, instead of a weak barrier that barely held, something else popped out.

A strong and resplendent one!

Alex was shocked as she stared at her own skill with her mouth wide open. The next instant, a few more surprises popped out.

Four bursts of attacks erupted on all four sides without any warning, four fire plumes rising high in the sky.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

These also came out of nowhere and instantly pushed away all the insects that were about to skewer the group. Insect parts rained from the sky, and green blood splattered everywhere.

In the midst of this commotion, one voice loudly sounded.

"Get lost, you stupid bugs!"

Alex turned to see a little girl standing in the mess with her emerald crown gleaming despite the darkness, and behind her were other familiar faces. The rest of the group was finally here!

Mei Mei, Shen Yue, Shin Soo, Lan Fen, and several others showed up one after the other. Just as everything was about to crumble, the other members of the crimson abyss guild all arrived, all forty of them!

"You guys…" Alex was speechless.

The truth was that Alex, Rey, Judah, and Lan Deming had unluckily landed right next to the hive hill when everything went down. So it was their fate that they had to fight this losing battle.

However, these people did not have to do so. They could have waited for some clarity, some sort of strategy, or at least for Liam to arrive.

But instead, they had willingly walked into this swarm and thrown themselves right into the fire even though they didn't have to. They had come here, risking their very lives all for the sake of four of them.

Alex trembled as she felt a renewed strength surge in her body. At this moment, right now and right here, she felt proud to be a part of this guild and to fight alongside these people.

Even if they died fighting here today, their lives amounting to nothing, it would still all be worth it.

Haaaa! She shouted as she stomped her leg and sent out a blast of divine radiance, blocking the dozens of insects coming for them.

As soon as she was done, Lan Fen cast the next attack.

"Ice Dome!" She shouted as the mana in the air danced to her tune and materialized a strong and sturdy wall of ice around them, enclosing the whole group.

Huff. Huff. Huff. The slender woman panted as the single attack drained all of her energy, putting her out of breath, but her efforts did not go to waste.

The chilling dome erected around the group protected them temporarily from the insects as numerous banging sounds could be heard.

The swarm was tirelessly butting heads with the ice wall. It was breaking up little by little, but it definitely bought them a few seconds to breathe.

"Alex! What is this? What is happening?" Shen Yue asked.

"We don't know, sis." Alex was too winded to speak, so Rey answered instead. "We were just dealing with the military group when suddenly shit hit the fan." He shrugged with a big sigh.

"This should be the second wave of the apocalypse. Just like how the beasts had charged out of the portals, these insects also appeared out of nowhere." Alex explained further.

"I am not sure how many are there. There could be stronger ones after this. Anything could happen at this point. We just have to keep fighting." She smiled tiredly.

The others were also not better off. Everyone was tired and exhausted to their bones.

They hurriedly drank mouthfuls of water and replenished themselves with some meat jerky and fluids as the sounds of the insects trying to shatter the ice dome became louder and louder.

It was about to shatter anytime now, and once that happened, everyone knew that they again had to go all out and fight for their lives.

This was probably the most difficult battle of their lives, and they had to succeed no matter what.

Thankfully, this time around, things were a lot different.

With Mei Mei's buff, everyone's mana regeneration immediately surged.

The number of capable tank-class fighters was now two, and the number of long-range damage dealers and melee damage dealers had also increased, thereby pushing the total dps of the team to a bigger number.

They also now had the option to rotate fighters, allowing others to catch their breaths for a moment. So perhaps this time wouldn't be as bad.

Everyone prepared themselves, and confidence and determination shone in their eyes. They had to do this! There was simply no other choice!

"Attack the space in between the pincers!" Rey shouted as the last bits of the ice wall broke down, and their defenses shattered completely.

Without wasting another second, the group of forty players immediately went all out, charging forward at full speed. They formed a bigger tight-knit circle, and attacks flew out in all directions but in a coordinated fashion.

The armored trucks they were using for cover had long since been damaged, so the swarm had full access to the group. But that was where their advantage stopped.

This time they couldn't surround the group that easily. The full combat strength of the guild was not something that could just be shrugged off.
