Chapter 2798: Mirage Dragon King Ant Mother Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation “Stand behind me!” It had been so long since someone had ordered Mo Fan around. He remembered that when he was at his weakest and despairing moment, someone with a similar aura and silhouette had said the same to him in the past. The person had broad shoulders and confident posture. Even though he was alone, he possessed such an intimidating aura. Mo Fan suggested the panicked Green East Sea God to retreat behind the person. “Are you severely wounded? I have the Healing Scroll with me…” Mo Fan said in concern. It was obvious that they could not immediately activate the Healing Scroll. Commander Hua would not be able to recover instantly. It was not too late to flee. Judging from the Black Claw Emperor’s aura, it did not look as powerful as it was when it appeared at the Pudong coast. It meant that it was severely wounded, too. Both Commander Hua and the Black Claw Emperor were at their weakest. “Its injury is more serious than mine. The Ocean Demon army is its only leverage,” said Commander Hua. With Commander Hua standing before Mo Fan, he felt that the Black Claw Emperor’s demonic aura was no longer as intense as before. Mo Fan wondered if it was due to his own psychological state, or if it was because Commander Hua radiated an even more imposing aura as befit a Forbidden Mage. “You are here. I’m no longer isolated and helpless,” said Commander Hua. “The scroll…” “Keep it with you. It has done its part to expose the Black Claw Emperor!” Commander Hua said firmly. Commander Hua didn’t look like an injured man to Mo Fan at that moment. He was, after all, attempting to confront the Black Claw Emperor in mid-air. He did not show the slightest bit of fear. The Black Claw Emperor had wanted to destroy Mo Fan and the Green East Sea God with its claws. But when it saw Commander Hua, it pulled its claws away and was more vigilant. ‘Were the rumors untrue?’ thought Mo Fan. Commander Hua’s injury might not be as serious as they had thought. ...... He had been waiting for an opportunity… Commander Hua had waited for an opportunity when the Black Claw Emperor could no longer hold itself back so that he could kill it in a single move. Mo Fan was confused. ‘Was this all a game between Commander Hua and the Black Claw Emperor?’ Under Commander Hua’s protection, the Green East Sea God flew away from the Black Claw Emperor’s territory. Commander Hua’s imposing aura prevailed against the Black Claw Emperor’s intense demonic aura. “He’s very strong!” Song Feiyao stared at Commander Hua in amazement. His imposing aura contradicted the Licheng Afterglow Islanders’ arrogance. Commander Hua was so powerful that he could trample the vast Ocean Demon army like ants under his feet. None of them were a match for him. Commander Hua had his eyes only on the Black Claw Emperor. The Black Claw Emperor was furious. It hated being a target of that puny human. It would be a great humiliation if the human escaped again. The Black Claw Emperor had no way to retreat. So, it decided to set off a violent tsunami. The giant tidal waves were made up of dense sea ants. Mo Fan turned to the Sea Ant tidal waves to see that they were actually Dragon King Ants. The Dragon King Ants were black in color. They looked ferocious and hideous. Countless Black Dragon King Ants gushed out of the Black Claw Emperor. The tidal waves reached high up in the sky and devoured the cloud line, as if they were gnawing the other side of the world furiously. The Green East Sea God flew at lightning speed. Still, it could not break itself free from the Black Dragon King Ants’ gnaws, like a small seagull that could not break itself free from the storm in mid-air. Where Commander Hua stood was the boundary. The raging tidal waves made up of Dragon King Ants devoured and destroyed everything, but they disintegrated before Commander Hua. Commander Hua was surrounded by a white light that shone faintly like the morning sun. The white light gradually dispelled the darkness. The white light spread and formed into a cross. It looked like a white arrow embedded on a gigantic crossbow from afar. Heavenly Light Crossbow! The Heavenly Light Crossbow cut through everything like a blazing white sun. The tidal waves made up of Dragon King Ants were burned to ashes. The Black Claw Emperor’s appearance was slowly peeling off. It was a Mirage Dragon King Ant Mother! Its dark body covering the forest was not its true body. It was made up of dense Dragon King Ants with black armors. It was a gigantic and movable nest fortress made up of Dragon King Ants. When the Mirage Dragon King Ant Mother crawled forward, the entire Dragon King Ant gigantic nest fortress moved forward with it. When the Mirage Dragon King Ant Mother stretched out its claws, its black claws were made up of destructive Dragon King Ants. When they smashed at their target, the Dragon King Ants would scatter into countless ants before returning to the Mirage Dragon King Ant Mother along the sea water. If it had not been for Commander Hua’s Heavenly Light Crossbow cutting through the black tidal waves with a majestic ferocity, they would not have seen the Black Claw Emperor’s true form. Mo Fan left the terrifying battlefield, but could not forget what he saw. Dragon King Ants… Mo Fan remembered when they were at Emperor Qin Island, Commander Hua had once confronted the same creature. Commander Hua told Mo Fan that if he wanted to kill a true Emperor-level Ocean Demon, he had to gauge its strength, find its weakness, and develop a detailed plan of offense. Mo Fan thought Commander Hua had been gauging its strength all this while exposing himself to danger. But looking closely, he realized that Commander Hua was already past that. He was executing his plant for killing the enormous creature. Commander Hua used himself as bait and went into the depth of the island alone. The Black Claw Emperor was eager to kill him. Even though it was severely wounded, it took the risk to expose itself. To Commander Hua, this was the perfect moment for the kill. This was a fight-to-death confrontation. Only one would survive. So, this was Commander Hua’s true plan. … “Mo Fan.” The Moon Moth Phoenix flew to them. It brought Pang Lai, Jiang Yu, and Night Rakshasa along with it. The two humans and the cat were severely wounded. They were exhausted and weak. They could fall at any time. “The Healing Scroll…” Mo Fan attempted to open the Space Bracelet that had been sealed with the Forbidden System. He wanted to take the scroll out. “Sad to say, we don’t have a powerful Healing Master in the country that can heal a Great Forbidden Mage within a short period of time. The Healing Scroll is not really that helpful to Commander Hua,” Pang Lai said sadly. “So, is this Healing Scroll part of the plan, too?” Mo Fan asked. ‘They had sacrificed many Royal Mages… they had paid a heavy price…’ Pang Lai shook his head. The Royal Mages had made their choice. They had wanted to help Commander Hua. Even though the healing effect was weak, it could help a little. Pang Lai held strong to his belief when he delivered the Healing Scroll. He had never thought this would lure the Black Claw Emperor to reveal itself!
