The Evolving Stealth System Chapter 52: Backstab

[Host is recommended to enter the premises with extreme caution, and… Levana appears to have left to the surface again…]

"What… right when we needed her?!" Duncan looked at a stream of water leading towards the surface above him, and Wormy sat down muttering the word "ugly…" on a hill in disbelief...

"Master ugly… Master ugly!" He really needed to work on his vocabulary, so he tried his hardest to use the words he knew sincerely, and Duncan dragged him towards the castle walls as he laughed with glee...

Speaking for a former worm caused it both joy and fear.

Fear that he wouldn't serve his master well, and... he sort of missed crawling...

Before he could only crawl, but now he could walk and talk and adapt into a myriad of profound forms to help his master... Hence, he stood next to him as guests started entering into the palatial compound one at a time...

This only took one minute, but it appeared the entire line was made of soldiers, and they kept wondering to themselves, would this cause the humans to lose their last strongholds?

The war had been going on for over 20,000 millennia, and... the reward for a light element warrior appeared to be a planet in the beautiful universe...

These people defected from their original sect for a piece of land on that planet, and they laughed and giggled as Duncan thought he saw Levana floating behind him...

"Wormy… for some reason you can understand me when I talk to you, but… system, can you explain why he can understand me?"

[Ding! Host has a system that conveys an electrical impulse to Wormy when hosts words are received, and using this impulse, language, desires, and even your thoughts are directly understood by wormy…. Hence, he knows master is ugly, but doesn't know why master doesn't like it when he says master is ugly…]

"Ugh… Wormy… I want you to crawl and check the perimeter!" Wormy nodded his head and ran off saying master is a water turd! Master is a water turd while he laughed happily…

What the hell?

Duncan didn't know what to make of it, and Duncan dodged Levana's extended scythe as it wavered past him twisting in the water…

"Hmph, that evasion technique… give it to me and I'll help you with your mission…" Levana had a maddened look on her face, and he flipped backwards as Wormy crawled around as a worm once again…

The simple, elegant life…

Crawling, exploring, and doing his Master's wishes…

It felt good to crawl again, and… Alberta and Bernie appeared and ran towards the south wall…

They were sent to be a distraction, and Duncan activated corpse explosion sending five guards blasting into the distance…

Then, he waited for two minutes, and… after promising Levana his help, she dropped into the hall of the castle and walked into the room Phoenix was in without being noticed by the guards…

Phoenix looked at her as he sat in the middle of a glowing room in the viscous liqiud, and explosion after explosion made the spell casters chant faster and faster…

They couldn't help think this must be another sect wanting their savior!

They'd tried their hardest to keep the light element zombie a secret, and Phoenix prayed the spell casters wouldn't finish the spell...

The humans were nestled into their coffins, and their screams mixed in with the clanging of swords...

Regardless, Phoenix knew his master was on his way, he sensed it in his bones, and all the guards ran out the room as Levana went up to the table and grabbed some food…

BOOM!

BOOOOM!

BOOOOOOM!

Every two minutes, two explosions would send Alberta and Bernie's heads floating into the distance, and Duncan nearly leveled up as more and more people gathered at the front of the castle…

[Ding! Hosts distraction appears to have backfired, and the spell has already been completed! Host has 5 minutes until Phoenix starts devouring the life blood of the 2000 humans, and 20 minutes after that you will fail your mission because of their deaths…]

"Shoot… CORPSE EXPLOSION!" Duncan had Alberta latch around one of the guards and exploded him as he looked up and noticed Levana at the top of the palace tower... She was there with tons of fish and tons of guards heads... The fish began flocking towards her as she fed them eyes, and ears of the soldiers... Finally, she looked down as more guards appeared on the roof...

"You're teaching me that spell later, imp! " She eagerly chopped and deflected and chopped and deflected the attacks of the guards until no guards were remaining on her side of the tower...

As for the guests, they had been the first ones to die because of the colonels overwhelming suspicion of them. Hence, he pulled Phoenix out of the viscous liquid and asked him for his help...

Phoenix agreed, and Duncan's steps echoed down the hallway as he fought and fought and fought...

[Ding! Host has killed one level 20 water demon imp for 5500 experience!]

[Ding! Host has killed one level 18 water demon sentry for 3000 experience!]

[Ding! Host has used poison breathe, and has poisoned a crowd of 30 soldiers!]

[Ding! You have leveled up!]

Finally, after two hours, only six demons and 2000 humans remained alive....

Levana stood on the periphery opening the coffins over the dead bodies of spell casters....

She had killed them as Duncan fought valiantly, and Phoenix stood next to the colonel with a frown at the approaching Duncan...

Duncan and Phoenix traded blows, and then Phoenix got the upper hand quickly because of his higher power level and speed...

On the other hand, right next to them, Wormy was pierced in the heart by the colonel, and he fell to the floor as the colonel was hugged tightly by phoenix!

"Do it master!" Phoenix squeezed tightly as the colonel looked back in disbelief...

"CORPSE EXPLOSION!"
