NOVEL WEB Chapter 275 Emiliano former cult leader
The forest was engulfed by darkness, if one could see from above, that darkness swept through the forest in seconds, leaving only destruction in its wake, trees consumed down to their foundations. If one looked closer, they could observe billions of black bugs, all moving in the same direction, running wildly towards a massive group of students, caring for nothing else.
"Mages, attack!" shouted the blond boy fiercely, positioned behind them issuing orders. The mages screamed and unleashed various attacks of all affinities; some were fireballs, others ice, and even wind. The mages threw all sorts of spells, magic brutally falling upon the sea of insects, killing them instantly.
The place trembled violently as magic rained down on the insects, thousands of them perishing only for thousands more to take their place. Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire
Minutes passed slowly, some of the mages already beginning to falter, their mana reserves not as deep as the elites', but still, they gritted their teeth and swallowed their complaints. The other students gripped their weapons tightly in their fists, watching the endless tide of insects rushing towards them, their time running out.
Elsewhere, a much more intense battle raged on. From the sky emerged a sea of flames attempting to consume a man in a matte black robe, on his back, wings resembling those of an insect.
The white flames moved and fiercely surrounded the cult leader in a circle, "Emiliano also known as the former leader of the cult that worships The Infester the Ancient." The flames danced and lunged towards him, his expression utterly indifferent.
His body trembled violently as more insects burst from his skin, covering him with incredible speed, but long before they could, the place became extremely dark.
From the profound darkness, orbs of flame shot out, brutally colliding with his back. The impact was such that the leader's body swayed a little, his eyes widened, and he let out a piercing scream. The place seemed to freeze, and from his own body, his mana emanated, surrounding us in a circumference, his body growing larger as his mana poured out in torrents.
Anthony had a somber expression; after his plan succeeded, he decided it was best to return to Angela's group, but he never expected they would already be in battle with the cult of The Infester the Ancient, and to worsen the situation, the cult leader was also present. If you wondered where the others were, you only needed to look at the endless sea of insects on the ground.
Upon returning, he hesitated for a moment whether to help the group of students or Angela, but in the end, he chose Angela. After all, the cult leader was more important than the others.
Watching as the place changed completely, the clouds turned black, and some bugs flew violently in them, the leader's body transformed into a humanoid insectoid. His power increased to the rank of Fallen Mid, after activating his domain expansion.
Angela's golden eyes met Anthony's red eyes; in a small nod from both, they decided it was time to activate their bloodlines. Only then could they attempt to kill the cult leader.
"Here we go," murmured Anthony with a cruel smile, as his body also changed and adapted to his lineage, but there were subtle changes. He wasn't as brutal as before; his body was adapting as his soul level increased.

"There are so many; I don't think we can survive," said a girl mage as cold sweat ran down her forehead. Desperation filled her eyes as she watched the sea of insects advancing relentlessly towards them. Her words were a soft, feeble whisper, but all her companions beside her could hear it clearly, and their hearts sank. Their mana reserves were almost completely depleted.
"Don't give up! Lady Angela left this for us to recover!" shouted the blond boy with devotion, pulling three green crystals from his ring. The eyes of all the mages lit up as they watched the smoke turn tangible and form small, bright green balls. In their hearts, Lady Angela was an angel who saved them from the terrible darkness.
Their eyes automatically turned to the huge circle of brown and other dark colors; with a single glance, they could feel the terrible battle raging within it. Sometimes they could see white flashes colliding against the circle; their faces paled, worrying about her condition. After all, she was fighting alone against a cult leader.
"Don't worry...Anthony is with her," a determined voice, filled with determination, sounded in front of them. All eyes turned to the girl with reddish hair and pink eyes; feeling everyone's gaze, Estefany couldn't help but feel nervous. The young blond approached her: "Are you sure?" he asked cautiously.
Estefany nodded: "Yes, she should be fine; they are both super strong," she said, her eyes shining. She wanted to be strong like them, but for now, she would take care of these kinds of things like the others.
The other students sighed in relief: "She's right; we must take care of this task that Lady Angela entrusted to us," the boy exclaimed with excitement. After all, wasn't the young Dragon supposed to be stronger than Lady Angela? All the other students nodded in agreement. After consuming the bright green balls, they felt their mana reserves fill to the brim; they were overflowing with energy.
They gripped their wands tightly and began to cast magic towards the endless sea of insects.
Estefany also sighed in relief; it was incredible that they believed her, although what she said was true. But for a moment, she thought chaos would start to rule over the students. She realized he had returned because he had scared her. She pouted, informing him of the situation of the group of students; he nodded and handed her three bright green balls before disappearing again.
She supposed he went to help Lady Angela. Seeing the huge circle full of corrupt mana, she felt small; besides seeing flashes of light, she could also see darkness moving chaotically.
"We can win!" she whispered with joy, giving herself encouragement.
