Wizard's Journey

Chapter 441 The Dark Empire (Part 1)

Six months later.

Fear and chaos became the inner voice of every locust-like person in the dark capital.

"Mother! Don't hesitate any longer! Those cruel and evil wizards have reached Pandoraja. They've killed all the locusts; they're a horde of demons from hell! We must escape!"

A young locust-man dressed in luxurious clothes shouted, followed by his young and beautiful newlywed wife.

Opposite the young locust man was his mother, who, though old, remained elegant and graceful, her former beauty still evident.

The elderly locust man hesitated, but ultimately shook his head and pushed his son away.

"Aigbo, you should go. I'll stay here with your father."

Egobo was stunned, then enraged, and roared at his father, whom he had once considered his pride, his voice so hysterical and furious, like a wolf in chains.

In Aigerbo’s eyes, his father is now a stubborn old-fashioned man who is out of touch with the world and cannot be reasoned with!

"Father! Why are you doing this? Why! If you want to die, just die yourself! Why drag Mother down with you!"

With bloodshot eyes, Aigebo was almost frantic with worry.

Egopo led his father to the window of the Crimson Nest. The Egopo family's room was located at the very top of the Crimson Nest, symbolizing the most prestigious status, all of which originated from one of their grandfathers, a saint.

Here you can enjoy the most beautiful scenery in the entire bustling yet dimly lit capital city, and see the first sunrise and the last sunset of each day.

At that moment, Aigerbo pointed to the six blood-red, ominous moons hanging high in the sky.

"See that? Those are the wizards! Even the great Flame God cannot contend with their power. They raise countless terrifying monsters, destroying any locust civilization along their path! The Dark Annihilation Capital and the Dark Life Capital have already been destroyed, and now they are heading towards our Dark Capital. Next, they will fly towards the Bright Capital and the Primordial Locust Capital!"

After saying that, Aigebo pointed to the swarms of locusts fleeing in the sky.

"Do you see that? Everyone is fleeing from here! Everyone is running away. All the locusts in the capital know that the Dark Capital cannot stop those terrible wizards! They will destroy the Dark Capital Temple and all the Crimson Nests, and let those monsters kill all the locusts in the city to fill their hungry stomachs, and even spread the shadows of those terrible wizards..."

When Egobo finally finished speaking, he almost burst into tears as he looked at his father, who remained unmoved.

"The Dark Capital is beyond hope, the great Locust Clan... is beyond hope."

Snapped!

Suddenly, the old locust man slapped Aigebo hard across the face. Aigebo's wife and mother couldn't help but gasp and cover their mouths.

From childhood, Lao Youhuang regarded Aigebo as his everything, as the continuation of his life, and could not bear to beat or scold him.

But now...

Aigerbo covered his face, his voice trembling with disbelief, "You...hit me?"

Old Locust's eyes were red, seemingly regretting his rudeness, yet he couldn't swallow his anger. He roared, "Hmph! Bastard! If you want to run away like those cowards, then get lost! Don't hold me back! I'm going to fight to the last drop of my blood! The great glory of the Utuqi ends with me! Once you leave the capital, you'll be a commoner, no longer a noble!"

"you……"

Aigerbo pointed at his "stupid" father, tears streaming down his face in disbelief, almost unable to breathe.

"Utuchi Glory? Can Grandfather Glory stop those brutal wizards from destroying the capital? Can Grandfather Glory restore peace and beauty to the great Locust World? Can Grandfather Glory drive those evil wizards out of this world! Utuchi Glory? Hmph, since you are so stubborn, then go and be buried with the capital along with the glory of your ancestors..."

The father before him no longer seemed to match the pride he remembered. Egerbo roared, "Go! Let's go!"

Egopol left with his newlywed wife, leaving behind his father's heartbroken roars.

"Even if the Dark Destruction Capital is destroyed, even if the Locust Clan is wiped out, all the blame lies with you! It is because countless individuals like you appeared within the Locust Clan, forgetting the clan's former glory and clinging to life out of fear of death, that the Locust World, after its first defeat, is now unable to mount any decent resistance. Otherwise, even those wizards would not have been able to act so recklessly. You sinner..."

Albert was completely deaf to any of his father's words, and was only filled with youthful arrogance and childish anger.

Holding his wife's hand tightly, Eberg cried out through tears of anguish, "Only by surviving can the locust race have any hope of survival! You were wrong, you were wrong..."

…………

Egerber, with his wife in tow, went to his friend's room.

Seeing the room was empty, Eberg roared in anger.

"Damn it, he ran off first without waiting for me, that bastard! Saraidin, don't let me see you again, or I'll definitely punch you in the face."

After saying that, Eberg pulled his wife and flew to the rooms of his other friends.

However, due to their father's delay, these friends had already left before they could wait any longer.

"Eberg, maybe... let's go back. Looking at you like this, I'm so scared, so scared that we'll really never be able to come back. Look, this is our hometown, the Dark Capital, how beautiful it is..."

Bohrene, facing the sun, spoke gently with a look of pure enjoyment.

Aigbo looked at his beautiful wife, gently embraced her from behind, and whispered in her ear, "We'll come back, we definitely will! Then we'll live happily together like before, okay?"

Bohr Terpenes smiled sweetly.

"Um."

With his wife, Eberg followed a flock of locusts fleeing the chaos away from the Dark Imperial City, heading towards unknown and unfamiliar lands, the farther away from those blood-red moons the better.

Gradually, Aberg left the territory of the Dark Imperial Capital, and large areas of vegetation and mountains began to appear around him, creating a harmonious and beautiful scene.

It had been so many years since Aigebo had felt the beauty of the world beyond the dark capital of the swarming locusts.

I really hope that in the future I can...

"Hehehehehe, finally some fun has arrived."

Suddenly, a monster over twenty meters long roared, easily knocking down the trees on the ground, and twisting its huge and savage body as it pounced on the hundred or so locust-men in the sky.

With its mouth wide open, revealing its ferocious fangs, it roared from deep within its throat, spewing out a large amount of purplish-black poisonous gas.

"A wizard! It's a wizard..."

Chaos and cries instantly drowned out the fleeing group. Then, all the locust-like people engulfed by the black and purple poisonous gas were involuntarily sucked into the monster's mouth.

"No! Polyterpenes..."

Screaming, Eberg could only watch helplessly as his wife was swallowed by that ugly maw.

The monster had a huge, brutal, and imposing body, covered in dense, cold scales, and shrouded in black aura. Such a monster was beyond the ability of ordinary locusts to resist; they could only be slaughtered at its mercy.

Beneath that black aura, a tiny figure rode atop the monster's body, laughing cruelly, "Hehehehe."

"This...this is what a wizard is?"

Roar!

After a roar, the monster curled its tongue and pulled Eberg into its mouth. The sky returned to its empty state, and the monster let out a burp.

In the darkness, amidst the deathly fragrance of locusts and human trails, the surrounding heat mingled with the acrid stench of digestive juices.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have left..." (A fantastic event with amazing prizes! Win a cool phone!
