1978 Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle!

This was the reason Liu Jie had only been Sequence #30 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence despite having the ability to hold off the insect tide outside of Cold Frost City for half an hour.

Since he picked his insect-species carcinoma feys so carefully, yet he had decided to combine this one with the Firefly Demon Fetus to transform it into a fairy after only one look, it was evident that this insect-species carcinoma fey was important to Liu Jie.

It was likely that Liu Jie’s combat system was going to be centered around this insect-species carcinoma fey from now on.

When Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the insect-species carcinoma fey, he realized why Liu Jie was so overwhelmed.

[Fey Name]: Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle

[Fey Species]: Scarab species/large rhinoceros beetle species

[Fey Grade]: Bronze (4/10)

[Fey Type]: Insect/Metal

[Fey Quality]: Flawless

Abilities:

[Metal Forge Angle]: It can absorb every type of metal and apply it to its horns to increase its damage power.

[Spread Wings Insect Cry]: When it flaps its wings, it can attract other insect-species feys and apply its metal characteristics to them to provide them with protection.

Exclusive Skill:

[Insect Death]: Whenever an insect dies around it, its metal characteristics will change from its original defense mode to offense mode.

As a carcinoma fey, the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle was a failure because it did not have outstanding damage power. It was more skilled at consuming metal and spitting out its stomach to corrode mines to damage the metal stored within.

Normally, an insect-species carcinoma fey with weak damage power would receive D-grade as its danger grade.

But in the Radiance Federation, the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle had a danger grade of S-grade.

The reason for this was its Spread Wings Insect Cry ability.

Spread Wings Insect Cry could attract other insect-species carcinoma feys as well as alien insects.

16 years ago, there had been 37 major cities in the Radiance Federation. But today, Fertile Soil City had long vanished from the Radiance Federation’s map.

This was all because of the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle.

Although the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle could not take control of the insect-species feys it attracted using Spread Wings Insect Cry, the insect-species feys would not leave the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle’s side even to the point of starvation.

A starving insect army would go on a rampage to eat everything in their way, even sand and dust.

Fertile Soil City had been famed for its soil and in the top ten major cities in the Radiance Federation.

However, the fertilized soil resulted in many insect-species feys in Fertile Soil City.

It would be easy for a spirit qi professional to kill just one locust. Still, the locusts attracted by the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle usually came in swarms to turn into a disaster.

The swarm of locusts was just one of the many types of insect-species feys that the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle attracted.

It had not taken long for a massive insect disaster to form outside of Fertile Soil City.

Although Fertile City’s City Lord had not found out the reason behind the insect disaster, he still regarded it with utmost seriousness. He had even enlisted the help of the Spirit Guards.

Since it had been during the dimensional rift’s active period, the Spirit Guards had sent two Guard Envoys.

But also because it had been the dimensional rift’s active period, the alien insect dimensional rifts opened continuously.

A horrible tragedy unfolded before anyone had time to prepare.

The Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle’s wings could soothe insect-species feys. As such, the insect-species feys would not attack their comrades of the same species under the influence of the flapping wings.

That had been the first time in history that insect-species feys and alien insects cooperated.

During combat, insect-species feys relied on their strong bodies, elemental energy, or venom.

The Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle could pass on its metal characteristics to the insect-species feys and alien insects. As a result, the physical-type alien insects and insect-species feys that already had strong defenses became even tougher. It also allowed the physically weak but powerful elemental- and poison-type insect-species alien insects to become more resistant to physical damage. This made it more difficult for them to be killed by spirit qi professionals.

In order to take on the insect disaster, Fertile Soil City had spent a large portion of its finances on training its City Guards.

The four Guard Envoys had an average power of thearch-class. This was the strongest support the Spirit Guards could provide cities during the dimensional rift’s active period.

Alas, there had been no survivors of the insect disaster. This was because the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle had attracted not only regular insect-species feys and alien insects but insect-species carcinoma feys as well.

Four types of insect-species carcinoma feys had joined the throng of alien insects and insect-species feys, creating the largest disaster in the Radiance Federation’s history that turned into a wound that never healed.

In the end, three members of royalty had hurried to the scene and spent months settling the aftermath.

It was rumored that the nurturing from the insect army had allowed the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle to evolve from Silver to Diamond by the time the disaster came to an end.

The same insect-species carcinoma feys generally had the same abilities and exclusive skills. There was not as much variation as in the abilities of feys.

Since many insect-species feys had died by the Diamond Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle’s side, it gained many types of combat metal characteristics. It had even managed to seriously injure the members of royalty.

Cicada Song’s body had even been corroded by the numerous types of metal, resulting in him being in recovery for nearly two decades.

This was why Cicada Song’s sacred source lifeform, the Alleviating Wind, still had not managed to evolve to 10 Stars despite his close relationship with the Moon Empress, Chef Supreme, and Bamboo Monarch.

The Spirit Guards had always collected carcinoma feys from around the world. However, Night Leaning Moon had killed the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle that created such a catastrophe without hesitation.

It was clear that no such disaster had taken place in the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle, nor was there a danger rating for insect-species carcinoma feys.

Otherwise, they would not be auctioning it off so casually at the Crown Wood Banquet.

It was no wonder that Liu Jie had been so excited when he spotted the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle.

The Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle could apply metal characteristics to both the insect army and insect-species carcinoma feys created by the Insect Queen to amplify their defenses.

Furthermore, as the Halberd Corner Sky-Defying Rhinoceros Beetle continued to consume different types of metals, its own power would increase.

As a result of the Fey Observers and Scholars’ studies, they found that large rhinoceros beetle-type feys were the kings of the insect-species fey world. All of them possessed immense power.

When Liu Jie used the Insect Queen in battle, he lacked individual combat power the most.
