《The Ghost》Chapter 9. The Great black bug
Advertisement
All the people turned their heads even Marcus, and they saw a scene straight from a nightmare. Not far from them was a human-made of bugs! It has no facial feature and just by standing there, it made their hearts jump in fear.
Marcus was the only exception because he remembers something, a large bee? a large bug? this bug is familiar...
Above the humanoid bugs were words that captured their attention.
[ 106th Boss: Great Black Bug ]
[ hp: 5000 ]
. . .
Brandon and Leo's mouth widened when they saw this, it's a boss! and that hp is ridicoulus! Marcus also saw this but his reaction is the opposite of them, his eyes lit up, "It's a boss! and if I kill it there will be many xp!"
Marcus moves to the second floor, he was going to kill this bug. Brandon and Leo looked at each other and they both saw the fear in their eyes, Selena and Kate as well the two boys were quiet. They didn't know what to do, they are weak compared to that humanoid bug.
"Let's run."
Leo said and Brandon nodded his head, the enemy is too strong I am afraid even if they teamed up and fight that boss then death will be the result for them. Selena stared at the humanoid bugs, the black bugs that were buzzing were familiar but when she heard her brother, she immediately shouted.
"No! We must stay here this house will protect us."
Kate who was beside her slowly nodded her head, yes if she said this house can protect us then it will protect us.
"Sister, you just need to follow me!"
Leo shouted and his voice had a tint of anger, Selena was stunned for the first time and she stared at her brother's eye. Brandon saw the two staring at each other and slowly shakes his head, he stared at the boss and said, "We can't run because that boss will surely chase us. We will stay in this house for a while."

Selena moves her eyes towards Brandon and smiled, Leo was cursing inside! this Brandon still have ill intentions at this time!
It was just a few seconds before they started to talk when the humanoid bugs made its move.
It raised its black hands and there was a loud buzzing sound around them, some bugs crawled from the ground and some from trees, and others from the corners of Deep Sky Village.
In a few seconds, these bugs gathered and formed a large black hand, it was bigger than the house! Its shadow covered the house and the hearts of people inside.
Then as if time slowed down, the humanoid bugs who raised its hand made a smacking gesture towards the house!
The large black hand slowly moves towards the house and the air was tense!
. . .
Second Floor.
Marcus was standing with his hands behind his back, he stared at the approaching large hand made out of bugs. "You attack in my house, then I will also attack." He raised his hand and a blue circle appeared, this time Marcus decided to try something.
One cyan snake came out of the blue circle, followed by another one, and so on. The number reached ten in an instant!
These cyan snakes would make an ordinary man freeze in fear, the size was one meter long and the eyes were blue. All ten cyan snakes charged forward at the window and headed straight to the large hand.
After this ten cyan snake was about to reach the large hand, another batch of cyan snakes came and this time it was twelve.
Marcus didn't feel tired, it was like blinking his eyes he could do it for a long period of time!
"This is awesome, let this ghost see how that ugly hand can block my army of cyan snake!"

Marcus wants to laugh but he held back, his eyes were focused on the ten cyan snake that reached the large hand.
There was no boom or bang sound, it was silent yet deadly. The large hand that was approaching the house slowed down and at the center of this hand was ice.
The bugs were frozen to death and it was expanding to the other bugs causing the large hand to stop in mid-air.
The twelve cyan snake rushed and hits the center of the large hand causing the large hand to freeze until the whole hand was covered in ice!
The atmosphere became cold in an instant, and the people inside the house felt their minds go blank.
Brandon's eyes were twitching, is it true this house protected us!?
Leo's eyes were wide, the scary monster made its move! It's even scarier than I thought...
Selena's eyes were twinkling with little stars, the house protected us! As I said this house can protect us!
. . .
While the people in the house had different thoughts, the humanoid bugs let out a screech! It looked at its hands that were covered in ice. It raised its head into the house and opened its mouth.
Buzz!
A large number of black bugs got out of the mouth of the humanoid figure, its numbers are one hundred and it was still increasing, the humanoid bugs slowly changed and all the bugs gathered and formed into a large face made out of bugs!
The people inside the house felt their hearts skip a beat, this boss is really strong!
Marcus stared at the large face that was capable of inducing fear, if he was alive then he would be scared to the point he would run away, now that he was dead and he became a ghost he didn't feel fear.
"You survived, good then take my elite hundred cyan snake!"
Marcus raised his hands and this time he would surely kill this bug, there are people in my house and if they got killed I would become boring again!
A blue circle appeared and like a machine gun it kept spewing cyan snakes, ten, twenty, thirty, fifty until it reached one hundred cyan snakes.
The one hundred cyan snakes hovered in mid-air and it was a shocking sight! Unfornutaly no one could see this, and Marcus also knew this.
His attacks are invisible to others, but isn't that overpowered! They wouldn't even know how they died!
The large face opened its mouth and it was so big that it could swallow the house, the one hundred cyan snake charged forward and headed inside the mouth.
The large face stopped and it trembled in fear. It didn't know who attacked, the people inside the house were weak so who was it?
The ice was crazy as it expands until it covered the large face, but before the large face was covered in ice, it saw something terrifying!
It was hell, corpses formed into tall mountains and there was a sea of blood. The thick aura of death almost covered the place, and in the middle, there was a strange house...
The large face was finally covered in ice and it fell to the ground and break into thousand pieces.
