The Lady Nun Vows Revenge novel Chapter 539

539.Chapter 539

“Dead men don’t need to know too much” Eliza’s reply was cold and curt

With a wave of her hand, all the spiders and ants in the canyon rushed toward Kornest

Korneel let out a chuckle. “I admit, you are quite interesting. But to think you can kill me this early–imponatla

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a dark green insect.

Holding the insect in his palm, he arrogantly lifted his chin, his voice cold. “Whether it’s controlling parasites or inserts, i will never lose to anyone.”

As soon as his words fell, the insect–his King Parasite–let out a high pitched shriek

The shriek echoed throughout the canyon.

Eliza sensed something and immediately focused on her own swarm of poisonous insects.

To her surprise, the insect in Korneel’s hand was so powerful that it affected her own swarm. Her insects, cuffanted with her own blood and the magical water, should have been immune to outside influence.

But Korneel’s parasite seemed to possess the same overwhelming power as a king insect over ordinary ones.

This must be one of the five King Parasites that Gilbert mentioned, Eliza thought, narrowing her eyes slightly it seemed that she needed to cultivate her own king insect soon.

With this in mind, Eliza withdrew the affected insects and left only the least affected ones. She then focused, poing a forced command to override the influence of Korneel’s King Parasite, sending her insects charging back at him.

Korneel, however, was caught off guard. Despite using the King Parasite’s overwhelming power, it only managed to subdue half of Eliza’s swarm. The rest remained unaffected.

His face darkened. Clearly, things weren’t going as planned. He no longer held back and pulled out an emerald fute Bringing the flute to his lips, he began playing an eerie melody.

As the haunting notes filled the air, countless more insects poured out from behind him.

Unlike Eliza’s swarm, Korneel’s insects were a chaotic mix of all kinds.

By the time he called them all forth, their numbers matched the half of Eliza’s swarm that remained. One side was filled with poisonous insects, the other with parasites.

The entire canyon had been surrounded by swarms.

Luke suddenly realized why Eliza had chosen this location for the battlefield.

Clearly, she had planned this to ensure there would be no escape once their big moves were made.

Luke glanced around the battlefield and then at the bodies on the ground. Indeed, there was no place to escape.

Korneel grinned. “How about you tell me now, who exactly are you?”

Eliza gave him only three words in reply: “No more talk.”

Undeterred, Korneel pressed on, “Come on, it’s just the two of us now, no one else to interfere. It’s not a bad time for a little chat, is it? If we have a pleasant conversation, I might even let you go.”

Eliza snorted coldly. This whole line of questioning was just to confirm if she was Diana.

If she was, there would be no chance of them letting her go.

If she wasn’t, they still wouldn’t release them, but maybe Korneel would choose to capture them alive.

But unfortunately for Korneel, Eliza didn’t need to choose.

Eliza said softly, “You seem very confident in your King Parasite and your parasites.”

You think you’ve already won without even starting.

“Of course.” Korneel admitted without hesitation. “My parasitic arts are unbeatable. No matter what tricks you’ve used to slip past my King Parasite, this ends here. If you surrender now, I won’t harm you. What do you say?”

In response to Korneel’s offer, Eliza just smiled faintly, her eyes filled with disdain.

“Who will win and who will lose is yet to be determined instead of taking let’s just get to it.”

Korneel sighed dramatically. “Fine, then don’t t

Successfully unlocked!

Almost simultaneously, the two swarms of insects in the canyon became agitated, and in the blink of an eye, they collided.

Both the ground and the air were filled with a chaotic struggle.

The scene was more terrifying than the earlier battle between men, especially the dense, writhing mass of creatures that

made the viewer’s skin crawl.

Despite this, the Black Flag soldiers remained at Eliza’s side, protecting Hubert’s carriage.

Tina and Rikkert, who had been fighting earlier, also returned to their respective sides, frowning anxiously at the ongoing

battle.

As time passed, the battle between the insect swarms seemed to be drawing to a conclusion.

To everyone’s surprise, Eliza’s swarm ended up with the majority.

“This is impossible.”

Korneel’s eyes were fixed on the piles of insect bodies below.

Among the countless corpses, seven or eight out of every ten were his parasites.

His parasites had stronger energy, and with the King Parasite backing them, his swarm should have been unbeatable.

So why were so many of his parasites dying?

After a moment of careful observation, Korneel finally realized something.

His pupils contracted in disbelief as he looked at Eliza and demanded, “Your swarm–did you cultivate them all to be poison insects?”

From the speed at which his parasites were dying, it seemed that Eliza’s insects were indeed poisonous.

Korneel’s face darkened.

No wonder his parasites were dying in droves. Eliza’s swarm was likely poisonous through and through.

Being bitten by them would poison you, and biting them would also poison you.

What a foolish mistake–he had sent his parasites into a battle with poison insects.

Korneel nearly choked with rage. He glared at Eliza and said, “What a clever strategy. You must have guessed what I was using, which is why you sent these poison insects to deal with me, didn’t you?”

No wonder his King Parasite hadn’t reacted–Eliza’s parasites were already toxic.

Korneel still thought Eliza’s methods were the work of a sorcerer, given the control over insects.

What he didn’t know was that Eliza had no idea about sorcerer’s insect control. She had something far simpler: the magical water in her space, which made every insect that drank it recognize her as their master.

Eliza’s eyes lingered on Korneel’s King Parasite, her mind racing.

If she killed Korneel and seized the King Parasite, could she have a ready–made insect king for herself? The thought crossed her mind, and she immediately focused on the dark green insect in his hand.

Sensing danger, Korneel’s heart skipped a beat. “Rikkert, let’s go.”

Without waiting for Eliza’s response, he turned and fled.
