Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

"Come back quickly, we can talk about it later."

Kurusgar and the captain of the guard were so excited that they ordered their men to temporarily withdraw from the battlefield.

With Lin Xueyin's protection, their retreat was relatively safe. When they returned to the stable formation re-established by the guards, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Pastor Lin."

After learning what had just happened, although everyone was on guard against the giant insect's attack, they still didn't stop to express their gratitude.

"That's a minor issue. This electric bug can turn any part of its body into a new bug. Unless we can turn its body to ashes, there's no way we can defeat this giant bug."

"Of course I know that, but how do we do it?"

Krusgar was at a loss when he heard what the captain of the guard said. Who knew if such a huge insect had other trump cards? This ability alone was already giving them a headache.

The electric insects seemed to be startled by Lin Xueyin's attack, so they didn't make any move. However, the wait was not long. The two giant insects stood side by side and waved their tentacles again, attacking the food in front of them.

Perhaps in its eyes, whatever exists in front of it, as long as it is edible, is its food.

The four tentacles around the enormous mouth waved incessantly, launching rapid attacks on the shield wall erected by the guards. Each attack caused the seemingly solid shield wall to tremble slightly.

"Damn it, take this Qi Slash!"

Krusgar, who had been suppressed behind the shield, could no longer contain his rage. Driven by anger, he leaped high into the air and unleashed two gleaming crescent-shaped slashes of battle aura at the two giant insects.

The blade's edge sliced ​​the two giant insects in half as easily as chopping vegetables. However, despite the enormous result, the crowd felt no excitement. Recalling the previous scene, they could already imagine what would happen next.

After launching the attack, Kurusgar was filled with regret. His actions had not only failed to achieve any results, but had also made the entire battle situation even more dangerous.

"Damn it, what are you doing?"

Although he kept praying that the insect would not come back to life, unfortunately, this dream could only remain a dream. To everyone's horror, the two insects that had been cut in half were reborn as four.

Although still moving slowly, their fury was palpable. Their enormous mouths, filled with sharp teeth, made no sound, yet the violent opening and closing of their jaws filled everyone with terror.

Holding the staff, Lin Xueyin watched the insects shrink their bodies and suddenly thought of the anime and movies she had seen before.

Without any hesitation, "The Sacred Barrier."

A semi-circular barrier, gleaming with a sacred golden light, protected the entire guard. Just then, a jet of greenish water spewed from the mouths of the four giant insects.

Four jets of intensely green, nauseatingly green water crashed against the sacred shield erected by Lin Xueyin, splashing puddles of green liquid in all directions.

The guards stared in horror at the jets of water before them. Even more horrifying, the green liquid on the ground was beginning to corrode the earth, creating pit after pit.

"My God, is there such a powerful magical beast in this small lake? Who would dare to drink water here? And aren't you afraid that the liquid sprayed by these insects will flow into the lake?"

Some of the human warriors watched in horror as everything unfolded before them. The attack of the four water jets and the highly corrosive liquid filled them with a sense of panic.

However, that's not the point. The girl who could single-handedly neutralize all the attacks launched by these four giant insects is the most terrifying one.

I stole a glance at Lin Xueyin, who was protecting the entire team. Was she really just a sixteen-year-old girl? Or was she some kind of magical beast in disguise?

Thinking back to when I was sixteen, I was still training, and this guy was already this strong? Suddenly I feel like I'm living the life of a dog.

The water column gradually weakened and disappeared, but the shield on Lin Xueyin's hand did not disappear. The girl, with a slight frown, stared intently at the four giant insects in front of her.

Although she didn't continue spitting out, she could still tell that there was still some liquid left in the other person's body, and they probably didn't intend to use it all on her.

The staff was extended slightly forward, and holy energy struck a single point, "Holy Beam".

As the voice faded, a holy light shot swiftly from the tip of the staff towards the electric bug at the far end. As the bug writhed in pain, a charred, round hole appeared on its body.

"As expected, the burning effect of divine energy will prevent this insect from splitting. Hmm, then divine and fire magic must be its biggest threats."

Knowing that this giant insect wasn't truly invincible, Lin Xueyin breathed a slight sigh of relief. As long as it had a weakness, it wasn't so scary. With a slight smile, Lin Xueyin raised her staff high once more.

"The Sacred Fire".

A sacred golden flame descended from the sky, landing on the giant worm. As it writhed in agony, it quickly turned into charred ashes, which were then scattered by a cool night breeze.

Today is Valentine's Day, so here's a long chapter of 5000 words. Consider this an extra chapter, I guess? Oh well, there will be more in the future. This is to thank all the readers for their generous donations. Thank you all so much for your support!

Volume 7 The Collapsed Alliance: Chapter 24 Insect Extermination (Two chapters published together)

When everyone saw that Lin Xueyin had so easily killed one of the insects that had previously given them so much trouble, they erupted in cheers. However, Lin Xueyin did not relax at all.

For some reason, she always felt that things weren't that simple, like some kind of Eastern metaphysics—ethereal yet incredibly real.

"careful...."

The enormous insect contracted and contracted, then suddenly leaped high into the air, its massive and heavy body hurtling straight toward Lin Xueyin's location. Its deep red mouth, filled with rows of sharp teeth, opened wide, as if it wanted to devour the girl who posed a threat to it.

"Thump..."

The enormous insect slammed heavily onto the sacred barrier erected by Lin Xueyin, producing a dull thud.

"Bang..."

Upon impacting the sacred barrier, the enormous insect exploded into thousands upon thousands of fragments, creating a rain of flesh that filled the sky. Seeing this, Lin Xueyin and the others felt their hearts sink to the bottom.

Previously, the Holy Fire was used in the hope of taking advantage of its large size to burn it in one fell swoop, but now it has been blasted out by so many small insects.

"A divine halo."

The staff slammed heavily on the ground, and a holy halo rapidly spread outwards from Lin Xueyin's feet. However, the little insects showed no fear. They leaped up and landed on the holy barrier, perfectly avoiding the attack range of the halo.

"I'm so..." Lin Xueyin looked at the white insects that were avoiding the attack range of her aura. Although she found it hard to believe, she felt more uneasy.

After its initial attack proved successful, the giant insect was able to quickly find the weak point in its attack and even address it based on the actual situation.

Unfortunately, her opponent wouldn't give Lin Xueyin time to think things through, and the urgent attack came again. The huge tentacle slammed heavily onto the barrier Lin Xueyin had built, the dull thud sending a shiver down her spine.

As the tentacles attacked, the small white insects behind them emitted strong electric currents, constantly striking the barrier they inhabited. The crackling sounds made the girl, who was continuously channeling her magic power into the barrier, turn pale.

"Damn it, we've actually fallen into a disadvantageous position."

Lin Xueyin looked at the soldiers around her. If it weren't for them, she would have definitely smashed these rotten bugs to pieces.

The night wind gradually turned cool, but it did not dry the sweat on the girl's face. The earth, illuminated by the moonlight in the darkness, was now riddled with holes.

The electric arcs emitted by the small electric insects completely blinded everyone in the night. The intense light dazzled everyone.

A torrent of holy swords...

With another powerful attack, she unleashed the Holy Sword, slamming it into the ground. The small electric insects were shattered into fragments, only to be replaced by even more electric insects that relentlessly assaulted Lin Xueyin's barrier.

The dense, white sea of ​​insects had completely enveloped the barrier, making it nearly impossible to see the movements of the other giant insects nearby. Seeing this, Lin Xueyin became even more anxious.

Losing track of the enemy's movements is tantamount to losing the initiative in the battle. Once the initiative is lost, one can only passively take a beating. She always kept in mind the principle that prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat.

“Pastor Lin, you have removed the barriers. I think you are capable of escaping. We will cover your retreat.”

The captain of the guards saw Lin Xueyin still resolutely channeling magic into the sacred barrier to maintain this seemingly crumbling but actually rock-solid protective barrier.

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more. I won't abandon any of you. No matter who you are, you must live on."

Lin Xueyin's firm tone made the surrounding soldiers feel the girl's determination, and made them feel even more guilty about their own powerlessness at this moment.

"Pastor Lin, we're so sorry, it's all our fault..."

"This isn't the time to apologize. You should think about how to deal with these bugs..." Before the word "okay" could be uttered, the barrier emitted another dull thud from its massive body.

Thud. ...

The continuous impacts caused the sacred barrier released by Lin Xueyin to shake violently, but the girl remained calm and continued to replenish the barrier with her magic power.

As time went on, the opponent's attacks seemed to slow down, becoming less frequent than before, and the people inside looked at the girl in front of them with some horror.

From the beginning until now, a simple barrier has rendered the attacks of these electric bugs ineffective, yet she still maintains that calm and composed expression.

This magic is simply too exaggerated. The human warriors stared in horror at the girl before them. Although they were safe at the moment, they still felt a chill run down their spines.

As for the orcs, "By the Beast God, are all human priests this terrifying? What kind of monsters were we fighting before?"

With a slight twitch at the corner of her lips, Lin Xueyin, somewhat dissatisfied, increased her magic output again, strengthening the previously shaky protective barrier and making it stand firmly in front of everyone.

"Pastor Lin, could you please say something? We can go out and kill all those bugs on the protective wall."

"Kill them? Can your physical attacks even affect these bugs? I think what they want most is for you to go out and attack, so that more bugs will come out."

Upon hearing what the other party said, Lin Xueyin refused without even thinking. In this situation, it was obvious that the other party was not afraid of physical attacks, and as for magic, her side really lacked it.

Ugh, ranged DPS is so scarce, I've never had enough of them, and this time it's even more so. They're all tanks, how am I supposed to fight?

Lin Xueyin was filled with complaints in her heart. Back when she was dominating the battlefield in the game, it was much harder to be a tank than a DPS. But in reality, there were a frightening number of tanks and a pitifully small number of DPS.

"Close your eyes."

The staff in his hand drew another beautiful arc, and the holy energy in his hand exploded instantly. The white insects that were originally on the barrier fell to the ground when they encountered this holy energy. After jumping around a couple of times, they gradually melted into a pool of clear water.

Sure enough, reality and the game are quite different. After waving her staff a few times, Lin Xueyin finally understood that she had been too focused on the game's skills. However, sometimes she could also let go of those skills and use the magic power within her to recombine them.

Just like now, there won't be such a direct burst of pure holy magic in the game, but it is possible in reality.

As the insects on the ground gradually lost their vitality, the two giant insects returned to everyone's sight. However, when everyone saw the two giant insects again, they discovered that the two had begun to prepare to dive into the water.

Is this... a classic case of running away when you can't win?

Just as Lin Xueyin was eagerly preparing to wreak havoc, she witnessed this scene and suddenly felt a pang of back pain. This guy was practically a genius! Did he even understand the principle of running away when things went wrong?

Not only Lin Xueyin, but even the surrounding warriors were dumbfounded. The giant insect leaped into the water, and the huge splash of water from its massive body soaked the entire land.

"Holy crap, is this going against the heavens?"

Seeing this, Lin Xueyin suddenly remembered a very basic common sense: "You all better get away from the water on the ground."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xueyin felt deep regret. She had removed the barrier after seeing the electric insects leave, which resulted in many people getting soaked in water.

If this electric bug releases a large amount of electricity, then there's only one outcome. He raised his hand, instantly creating shields on these people.

Before anyone knew what was happening, the electric current had already engulfed everyone in an instant. Lin Xueyin looked around nervously, listening to the crackling sounds all around her. Since there were no screams, it proved that her actions were timely.

When all the blinding light disappeared and night once again descended upon everyone's eyes, the surrounding ground seemed to have been plowed by something, and those golden shields once again stood firmly on this already ravaged land.

The survivors swallowed hard. There was no need to be confused by the attack just now; it had already exceeded the attack energy of a Berserker-level being. These two insects were definitely Berserker-level, without a doubt.

But what kind of being is this girl who can suppress two Berserker-class beings like this? And don't forget, she also powerfully killed an Electric Bug in an instant before.

"Could Pastor Lin really be a Berserker as well?"

Pointing with a hint of horror at the girl on the side, the many guards also felt a chill run down their spines. How old was she? She had already become one of the most outstanding figures on the continent.

Let alone the existence of any Saint-level beings, how many are there? The Demon race has at most a few dozen, and the Human, Beast, and Elf races combined have how many? And the Berserker rank itself, in the eyes of the entire continent, is only a few hundred.

The person before me had already become one of the top few hundred on the continent. Heh heh heh, had I been living my whole life as a dog?
