"This, wow! I never thought of things that way, as expected of one of the most noble ancient race, you guys has enough knowledge to support our world’s research for thousands of years!" He exclaim.
She feels proud hearing him compliment their race.
Someone like Sean, who can use runes is a valuable and powerful individual that’s loved and hated by all races.
Buzzing noises once again appears, Sean frowns, there had been at least hundreds of thousands of insects, even millions, that had been killed by the storm and heavenly punishment, to think that they would send another swarm once again.
"Don’t be too surprised, this is exactly why the Insectizoid Race is feared, because of their numbers, one hive can host billions of billions of insects and the weakest are their grubs which are at bronze or gold rank."
He can’t help but hiss when he heard this, just their babies are already this strong?
"That’s why they must constantly travel around space, searching for food, they can’t continue feeding on each other as they wouldn’t obtain any powerful genes from doing this."
"I wonder how many worlds they had destroyed to nurture such a force."
"Hundreds probably." She mutters.
Standing up, he release a puff of smoke from his mouth, this is his way on recovering his spirit quickly, to release all the clumped up spiritual energy that was overdrawn and transformed into smoke.
"Wait! You’re fighting again? Don’t you need to rest?"
"Not really, my body is special, I don’t get tired physically but because using multiple of my abilities, especially, runes takes a heavy toll in both my mind and spirit, I had to take a moment to clear my mind."
’What an abnormal body!? How is it not breaking after using the power of runes!?’ She was shaken once again, the more she knows him, the more tempting he becomes.
Spreading his wings, he flies towards the narrowing crack in space.
Looking at the creatures that appeared, he was taken aback, this time, it didn’t consist of multiple varieties but only one.
Giant beetles, an army of them, moving in a standard form, they look like a proper army rather than wild unintelligent creatures.
Fire Dragon Breath!
He opens fires immediately, suddenly, behind each beetle, strange insects appears, they start shooting at the fire dragon approaching them.
The Fire Dragon was drowned in toxic spit, it still explodes in front of the first row of beetles but when the smoke clears, a thin blue barries appears in front of the beetles.
"This time, we’re facing the true might of the Insectizoid huh, but if you think that these guys are enough to deal with me, you guys are sorely mistaken."
He dashes towards the beetles, dodging the toxic spits of the strange insects.
"Take this! Ulti-"
BANG!
He was blown to the ground as a humanoid creature appears on his former spot.
Looking at the hole on the ground, the girls were shocked.
"Who!-"
BANG!
He was slammed back to the ground, a foot crushing his skull.
Gritting his teeth, he grabs the foot, with a manic smile, he starts absorbing the energy and trying to break it.
A hand grabs his hand and breaks it but it instantly recovers.
The black Insectizoid pulls him up and starts punching him at every spot of his body.
This was the first time he was getting beaten like this, it was clearly a physical battle but he was losing miserably.
BANG!
One last punch sends him flying through the air, the black Insectizoid appears above him and smashes him to the ground.
Seeing that he was still alive, the black Insectizoid was surprised.
"Human, you’re quite tough."
For the first time, Sean heard one of them speaks and it was using the neutral language that their alliance used.
’Not only it is Intelligent, it is also disciplined, strong, and fast, it also master the art of teleportation.’
The situation isn’t looking good, even with his attributes stacked because of his abilities, he wouldn’t be able to match it with just pure strength.
’It seems that I can only use that move.’
Cloud appears and a diagram starts to rotate below him.
Domain of Invincibility!
Seeing this, the black Insectizoid sighs, he thinks that Sean is one of the weaklings that struggles to their last breath.
It teleports behind him and strikes the back of his head.
BAM!
It was slammed to the ground in one smooth motion, it looks like a throw that uses it’s own power.
It quickly stands up, dodging the strike, flipping away from Sean’s range, he turns to him with a surprised expression.
"Interesting, you can actually sense my attacks."
Assessing the situation, the black Insectizoid punches the clouds using brute force, generating enough force to blow the clouds away.
Sean was smiling bitterly, his opponent doesn’t only have powerful physical attributes, it’s combat sense is also top notched.
BANG! BANG!
The first strike was blocked but the second strike to the stomach hits accurately.
"You were able to anticipate my attack before it hits, letting it easy for you to harden the part that was going to be hit but due to my strength, you can’t spread the hardness." It examines his fighting style up close.
"An interesting fighting strength but lacks any threat against people of my caliber, how can you deal with those three with your meager strength?"
It was confused, sure, the white haired insect wasn’t a combatant but her strength is still higher than him.
The beetle was too tough for his strength to hurt it and worse of all, the mantisman is even a threat to it, how was he able to deal with it’s three comrades.
This is the reason why he’s fighting him in a cautious manner, he was testing the situation, three had already died, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to let down her majesty’s command.
’He has multiple abilities, also, he’s not fast enough to react to my strikes, he wouldn’t had been able to anticipate Mantis’ strikes, so, how can this human defeat him!?’
"Human, play time is over." It suddenly speeds up, punching him but Sean transforms into flame and grabs his body but fails to do so as it teleports away.
BANG!
A punch carrying an energy he hadn’t sensed before hits him in the face, twisting his neck, he had to crack his neck back to return it to normal.
’What tenacious life force! Wait! Is that how he defeat Mantis!? I need to test it.’ The black Insectizoid was surprised.
BANG!
A punch once again hits Sean, he wasn’t able to block it but he was able to harden the spot that was hit fast enough to weaken the force.
CRACK!
It grabs his shoulder and rips his arm out but in doing so, it was hit in the head by a punch.
Flipping over, it disperses the power of the strike, like a master martial artists.
The hand that was pulled apart bursts into blood and Sean’s hand regenerates back to normal.
"No wonder you were able to defeat Mantis, the recovery to ignore his attack and the ability to fight in close quarter, making his own hands against him."
Sean was cursing inwardly, this person might be a better fighter than he is.
’There is only one way that I can win but that method is really degrading.’ He thought.
Sighing inwardly, he still assumes a defensive position.
The black Insectizoid’s caution decreases after realizing the truth but it is still there.
It dashes towards him and starts wailing on him, punching breaks his bones and makes his flesh burst but he wasn’t blown away like before.
His feet was absorbing the power from the ground using Earth Rune.
Earth Rune: One of the basic elemental runes in existence.
Active: (Earth Control), Control over earthen objects.
Active2: (Domain), Senses the movements on the or underground with the radius of 10 kilometers of the host.

Twin, Osal, Longsnek, and Minerva appears out of his body, the black Insectizoid immediately retreats.
Sean didn’t go to offense, only raises his hand to guard, taking all the beating as an experience, reading every single thing about his opponent.
He can tank it’s punches, as long as he’s given enough time, he’ll learn it’s pattern.
The two of them engages with one another, his form transform into his ashura form.
Three heads and six eyes to record the shift of movement, six arms to attack and defend.
There’s also Osal’s shield that would move on it’s own from time to time.
His feet was in a wide stance, giving him enough stability to engage without the threat of getting annihilated in one punch.
He thought that he was pulling ahead, when suddenly, multiple attacks hit him at all sides.
’This creature is truly a formidable opponent!’ The black Insectizoid also adapted to his fighting style.
"You are an interesting opponent but if this is only what you’re capable of, then, die!" The black Insectizoid aims at his head, it’s fist transforms into a glowing milky silver fist and is now covered with black warping energy.
This attack was meant to kill not bluff, it contains only an absurd amount of strength, it also incorporates intense elemental energy.
’Water, I need to become one.’ Sean enters a strange state, after getting beaten up throughout the entire fight, he learned how to adapt quickly to his opponent’s rhythm.
Before the punch hits him, it first hits the cloud, then, the barrier set up by Twin and the others.
Each hit deceases the power, when it finally touches his body, it seems to had slipped.
Tai Chi, First and Second Move, Flowing Wind!
BANG!
The black Insectizoid was blown away after the backhand punch hits it on the face.
Sean was kneeling on the ground, huffing, that was intense for him, he didn’t expect to enter in such a state but remembering that it had been too long since he was pushed to his absolute limit, he realizes why.
’This human had evolved!’ The black Insectizoid was shocked.
It didn’t expect that he would improve in the last second, that attack was powerful enough to crack it’s shell.
Touching the part that has cracked, there was a fiery light in it’s eyes.
"Human! Oh, how I wish that we aren’t fighting in this world." It sighs and assumes a command to it’s subordinates and they start buzzing noisily.
’Shxt! It’s still focused in it’s mission while engaging against me!?’ Sean curses inwardly.
He raises his foot and stomps hard, causing an earthquake but he wasn’t fast enough to stop what his opponent was doing.
"Struggle as much as you can, formidable human." The black Insectizoid teleports away.
The world is trembling, it seems that it was being affected by the ritual.
Sean dashes towards the beetles, seeing this, the black Insectizoid guarding the ceremony raises it’s hand, locking him in his exact location.
’You think you’re the only one that can control space!?’ Sean was enraged.
He was anxious, his instinct is telling him that what the beetles are doing is dangerous.
This thought solidifies after sensing the world trembling, as if trying to resist.
He teleports, the black Insectizoid was shocked, it’s confidence in it’s control over the spatial element is really high.
He can’t believe that a creature grounded to their world is more experienced in such aspect than him who lived the majority of his life traveling in outer space.
It might be confident but it was facing one of the greatest power in this universe.
