chapter 3:25 surrounded the flying
insects encircled gonon had she not been
wearing a veil she would have inhaled
numerous small bugs with each breath her
eyes barely able to remain open more
critically surrounded by thousands of
insects she found herself unable to
ascend further now hovering merely 50 m
above the ground the insects were
generally of low rank with only
occasional higher ranking leaders among
them guon tion clad in high tier armor
merely furrowed her brow slightly
undeterred by the encirclement
brandishing her short blade as if
dancing aimlessly in the air yet with
each graceful Arc of her blade blade not
only did she strike down the insects it
touched but the dragon breath emanating
from the blade shattered the nearby
low-ranking insects sending them
plummeting to the ground I am madir a
small scale rain of insects fell
composed entirely of their carcasses
beneath her broom a thick layer of dead
insects surrounded her only allowing
glimpses of the giant slug lurking below
seemingly unable to attack her yet she
dared not underestimate her opponent
splitting her Focus to keep an eye on
its movements the brief span of 20
seconds felt excruciatingly prolonged as
if it were over 20 minutes the giant
slug finally stirred before gu tontion
could comprehend the situation she
instinctively leaned down pressing her
body tightly against the broom squeezing
her legs around it and suddenly
thrusting the brooms tip upward
propelling herself vertically her
earlier appearance of being trapped had
caught the insect swarm off guard
allowing her to break through their
ranks the hood of her clothes flapped
wildly above her while she felt the dull
pain of colliding with the speeding
insects yet guon tion felt an
overwhelming sense of relief had she
attempted such a challenging maneuver
before it would have been impossible
after mastering broom riding techniques
her control had become remarkably
precise enabling her to execute this
maneuver flawlessly in a critical moment
alas a sticky tentacle pursued her
relentlessly gianan sensed a fierce wind
trailing closely beneath her I in the
next instant Panic gripped her as she
felt the tentacle Pierce her ankle
before she could even register the pain
a tremendous Force yanked her downward
vertical flight was an inherently
challenging maneuver at that moment she
struggled to maintain her balance as the
brooms upward force clashed with the
downward pull of the tentacle compounded
by the late arriving Agony causing her
body to instinctively tilt backward
gritting her teeth she tightened her
grip on the broom and surrendered to the
force allowing her body to carve a half
circle in the air at the Apex of her Ark
she steadied the broom and twisted her
waist half suspending herself on it
freeing one hand to slice at the Slender
tentacle the tentacle was exceedingly
thin and appeared to be taut as if
forcibly elongated at te this moment she
had descended to a mere 10 m above the
ground and the giant slug's body was
eerily upright she fell to this height
nearly level with the Slugs tentacles in
a fleeting glance gonon pered an endless
pressure emanating from the eyes at top
the slug's upright short tentacles the
slimy body of the giant slug loomed
close the thick fishy scent of its
secretions assailing her senses causing
her to feel dizzy and tears welled up
blurring her vision this odor possessed
such formidable potency fortunately her
short blade successfully severed the
tentacle in that instant and free from
its grip gonon relied on her muscle
memory to guide the broom back into the
air thankfully wielding a red quality
weapon allowed her to breach the
defenses of the Lord level giant slug
severing the taut tentacle otherwise she
would have met a Bitter End the tentacle
