Chapter 710: Queen Ice Fiend Locust!
Chapter 710: Queen Ice Fiend Locust!
In the center of the fog island, the Queen Ice Fiend Locust's multifaceted eye suddenly
glowed in rage when she suddenly heard a melodious voice. Although she had never come into contact with the language, she could easily understand it because she had a special spiritual ability involved in it.
"Pardon my way of reaching you, but I have no malicious intent, and you're quite hard to come in contact with, so I seek Her Majesty's forgiveness in advance.
"I'm the representative of the Treaty of Legends, an organization founded by the Unique Plains' Quasi Legends. I'm here to find the reason behind your sudden departure from the Vicious Calamity Fog Zone and your intentions for heading towards the Conflict Plains, which is under our protection.
"If this matter can be resolved without any bloodshed, then we'll help you achieve it to the best of our abilities. Or I can assure you it won't benefit both sides because the Conflict Plains can't be destroyed or put under any external threats. So, please have dialogs with us so we can reach a common ground!" It was Samara's voice, and there was a peculiar charm in her voice that could put anyone at ease and give them a good opinion of her.
However, the Queen Ice Fiend Locust was a spiritual being, and despite any being a perfect stage, inception body legend rank, her mentality was as powerful as Samara, even stronger because of the mysterious Fog Island under her control.
The Queen Ice Fiend Locust's first reaction was anger when she sensed the trick hidden in Samara's communication ability. She knew that if she had any malicious intentions, Samara's ability would've been blocked.
Furthermore, when the Queen Ice Fiend Locust heard 'Quasi Legend Rank,' her anger was quelled greatly because she knew what kind of existence a Quasi Legend Rank was. She had been working her whole life towards this exact rank, and she was very close when a 'thief' suddenly came and took that hope (Inception Legend Rank Frigid Soul Saxifrage) away.
Her hatred for that thief was at its peak, and she wouldn't rest until she flayed his skin, drank his blood, crushed his bones, and tortured him until he ran out of life.
Although her hatred for Jacob was almost blinding her high intelligence, it doesn't mean she was suicidal enough to go against an unknown number of Quasi Legend Rank.
It wasn't as if she was afraid, not even close; she had killed a Quasi Legend Rank before who had been arrogant enough to barge into the Fog Island to kill her and take the island for himself.
But for this exact reason, she knew how huge of a price she had to pay to kill multiple of them, and then she had to go into hiding until she recovered her forces again. She was planning on threatening the others to hand over that thief to being with since Unique Plains were filled with hidden experts.
Now, they were reaching her on their own accord, which gave her a superior position, and she felt they were afraid of her because they knew what she and her army of 100 million were capable of.
All she wanted was that thief, and if he was close to her, she might lose her mind and put everything at risk. So, she decided to converse with these people first while she had her sanity.
After coming to a conclusion, she took control of one of the children, and it flew toward the four members of the Treaty of Legends. She had already sensed the direction where the spiritual fluctuation came from and also slowed down the fog island advance.
Inviting them inside would be akin to exposing herself to danger because while she might be a powerful spirit being, physically, she was as weak as a common rank being.
Samara instantly spotted a silhouette approaching them, and her lips curled up as she said, "She's hooked!"
Sylas was pleased, while Vermont grunted in dissatisfaction because he found it somewhat humiliating to negotiate with some bugs. Necro remained silent and watched attentively.
An Ice Fiend Locust stopped a few meters away from them at this moment and released a sharp soundwave towards Samara, which was a method of spirit combination just like what Samara used but simpler and without any tricks.
"I received your proposal, and I can retract my army as long as you hand over the thief who took something very precious from me. However, if I don't find my treasure and that thief has already ruined it, then I want compensation of equal value!" The Queen Ice Fiend Locust didn't beat around the bush and stated her demands right away.
Samara's eyes narrowed slightly. She wasn't expecting the Queen Ice Fiend Locust to demand compensation from them bluntly, and she wondered who was daring enough to snatch her treasure and escape with it alive. Nonetheless, she still conveyed her words to Sylas since he was in charge here.
"Does this bug think we are pushovers?" Vermont's expression fell instantly when he heard the Queen Ice Fiend Locust's demands.
"Just keep your calm!" Sylas sternly glanced at him before he looked towards the Ice Fiend Locust. He knew it was just a puppet since it was too weak.
He said to Samara, "Ask her who it was and what the treasure was. How did she know that this thief was in the conflict plains? Besides, only a Unique Rank can enter the conflict plains, so how could someone of this level snatch her treasure and get away? We need more input before we can believe her words."
Samara nodded since she was thinking the same thing and repeated what Sylas said with spirit communication.
The Queen Ice Fiend Locust felt anger bubbling up because she knew how humiliating this was. Even she was skeptical to this day about that incident. Furthermore, it was the first time that Queen Ice Fiend Locust heard about the matter, as only unique-rank beings could enter the Unique Plains.
This means she could only send 99% of her army in and couldn't send her most powerful children or use the island herself to corner that hateful thief. If what they said were true, then The might get away like last time by using that strange weapon again.
She arranged her words and conveyed, "The thief stole my treasure from my garden with unknown means. It was a Quasi Legend Rank Frigid Soul Saxifrage that can turn anyone who touches it into Ice. "I don't know the thief's identity, but I left my mark on him, and I can sense his exact location. I can lead you to him if you want, but I WANT my treasure at all costs!
"But he's very cunning. Last time, he was able to escape using a destructive treasure, enter the deep ocean, and remain there for over two decades. If you're sincere and don't want this conflict plains to turn into an icy hell, I need assurance that he won't get away this time.
"But if you can't, then don't stand in my way, or I'll let you know why my garden is known as a Vicious Calamity Fog Zone!" Queen Ice Fiend Locust coldly issued a threat as she was determined to get
that thief.
She knew if she showed weakness, she wouldn't get any benefits from them. She could tell they were afraid of her raising hell in these conflict plains, and she was going to take full advantage of it. Either way, she would get that despicable thief one way or another!
However, Samara and others were shocked about something else when they heard this mysterious daredevil remain in the deep ocean for decades, and the more they thought about it, the more it didn't make any sense.
Unknowingly, they became extremely curious about the identity of this thief, and they didn't know that this curiosity would lead them to huge trouble!
