The three Master stage bugs stared at their prey with different expressions.

Jones was confident in his prowess and his ability to beat these weaklings, Malone was thoroughly amused by their defiant stances despite the endless fear within them, and as for Falcone...

Falcone was aroused.

He enjoyed their bubbling feelings of despair and fear, making his body gush with psychopathic pleasure.

The initial amount of bugs Darius had sent out amounted to 50,000, but only about 400 had been left after consuming the high-quality food that was the former 3,000 strong army of Amateurs and above, as well canabilising their own fallen mates.

The first time Darius had let out the bugs had been in the Darkness element Dungeon. However that defunct dungeon only had about 450 monsters in total and 3 bosses, so it had only been enough to turn 50,000 Amateur bugs into 50 Adept bugs at the end of it.

With more than 6 times the number of valuable prey, it was natural that a few Masters had been born. Even better, since there were 5 Masters, there was ample chance for more of the bugs to evolve once they had feasted upon them.

As such, Darius sat down and watched the show.

The three Master bugs didn't waste time. They immediately burst forth with high-packaged screeches, their claws aimed at the flesh of their opponents.

For that matter, each one took on one of the three burly orcs, as the shaman looked scrawny and the human didn't radiate enough energy.

Seeing this, Liam the Shaman and Henson the Tattoo Warrior let out sighs of relief under their breaths.

Then Liam began chanting the mantra for the Advanced spell Chain Lightning, which required 5 seconds of chanting with his prowess.

As for Henson, despite his fear he also acted by initiating a wide area buff skill, Blood Rage!

This made the three orc warriors grow slightly bigger as they roared, and a red light surrounded their bodies. Henson grimaced as the forced quick cast turned a certain pattern of his tattoos gray.

However, Darius noticed that the tattoo itself was slowly regaining its color, indicating that this was merely some form of natural cooldown affiliated with his power, only that it would take slightly longer than if he had invoked the standard means.

Now that he had done his part in helping the frontliners occupy the enemies, Henson switched over to the standard method. He began by moving his body in a weird tribalistic dance, the shadow of a giant snow wolf slowly materializing above him.

As for the three orc warriors, they made sure to make the most of Blood Rage's duration and met the charge of their assailants valiantly!

Hammer Orc Janken swung his gigantic weapon that looked like something a giant would use down on Falcone who merely raised a hand up to catch the weapon.

Alas, the Master bug had not accounted for the unparalleled force that came down upon it. It screeched as it got blown back into the nearest building, the construction coming down upon it.

It couldn't be helped, all the Master bugs had a flat 140 points of Strength, which was outshined by Janken's 169 points. With the added weight of his huge hammer, it was foolhardy for Falcone to have tried to block it in the first place.

Of course, since this experience had been uploaded into the bugcloud, no future bug would ever make this mistake ever again.

A horrifying thing.

Janken was only able to roar and beat his chest in triumph for a few seconds before the building Falcone had been launched into broke apart as the enraged bug climbed out slowly.

What silenced the 5 Masters on the opposing side was the fact that there wasn't even a single scratch on Falcone.

In fact, Darius saw that the strike had dealt a total 0 damage to the bug!

Falcone, Malone, and Jones each had 200 points of Endurance, almost as much as Gunner after activating Earth's Guardian, so it would be a miracle if these bugs could suffer damage from 'just' a mere building.

The only thing was that Falcone had suffered from the physical force that was not mitigated by the Supreme System, hence the theatrics.

Now that Falcone had learned his lessen, he shook the dust off his sleek carapace and glared at Janken. The Hammer Orc paled with fear as Falcone rushed in to get his revenge.

Janken grit his teeth and swung his hammer horizontally in an arc in order to deter the bug. However, Falcone didn't continue, rather he waited for the orc to finish the swing before resuming.

The orc had clearly overextended in his panic, but he had enough strength to pull his weapon back and swing it forth forcefully. In normal speed, it looked like Janken could swing his large hammer-like it was a light dagger, which was how he dealt with speedy foes.

Unfortunately for him, the three Master bugs had not 50, not 100, but a whole 150 points in Agility.

Were it not for their inexperience, they could have been like Lord Darm against Gunner, using their speed to overwhelm a more resilient opponent.

After Falcone burst forth and did just that, he clawed at Janken more than a hundred times in a single second, surprised to notice that his enemy had merely faltered back, his body bleeding from hundreds of wounds yet his life force only weakening slightly.

Darius could see better though. Falcone 140 points in Strength also lost out against Janken's 158 points of Endurance, thus the bug had aimed at the unprotected parts of the Hammer Orc's body.

Still, the difference was not too great, allowing Falcone to deal 1 damage per attack, but with hundreds of them a second… the effect was obvious.

Janken's 26,702 health dipped by a mere 100 points, which wasn't life-threatening by any means, yet it was enough to startle him.

Meanwhile, Malone and Jones had also been fighting their own foes, yet with slightly more success.

Malone had taken on Blademaster Shiken who wasn't lucky enough to be as resilient as the Hammer Orc, nor as protected.

After all, Shiken was an Agility-type damage dealer. He had 125 points of Strength, allowing Malone to easily overpower him and his 112 points of Endurance made him take much more damage.

His only saving grace were his 85 points of Agility which allowed him to fend off Malone's speed a little better.
