Chapter 1632 The Search For The Parts Of The World Eater II
“What are our next orders, master?” Sirius asked as the opponent is easy to kill if he did so.
Adrian contemplated if he should save the players as this area has low level monsters. The only monster that is different is the large Venus fly trap monster that seemed to be extremely aggressive. The players that are facing it seemed to have encountered it as it is roaming the area.
“Kill the monster as fast as possible.” Adrian stated as he hurried to the position of the monster that they have spotted.

“Alan! Are you alright?” The mage player asked their warrior player.
“I am fine, but Claire is still in the clutches of the monster. We need to save her or else she will not be able to logout.” Alan stated as he shielded Janice from the venom spit that the Venus Fly Trap monster released.
They were only at level 100, yet they are suddenly ambushed by a monster that is at the level of 180. It is actually amazing that they can hold on battling a field boss despite being a lot of levels below it. They were casually leveling up when they were suddenly ambushed by this wandering high level monster.
Ever since the world changed, the monsters are no longer locked onto their own territories. The monsters would often wander around, but they usually have a fixed path as if they are patrolling their territories. This type of monster was a field boss with the name of Venus Fly Toad.
It is a monster that usually inhabits the swampy areas of the nearby region and usually is static. It would cover itself with mud with only the flower portion of its body being visible which is why it is often mistaken as an immobile plant. If the beings near it do not know of its patterns, then the Venus Fly Toad would jump out of the mud and eat the unsuspecting victim.
This is supposed to be the behavior of the Venus Fly Toad but this one was different than what they have learned about. This Venus Fly Toad was actually roaming about the area looking incredibly hungry. The monsters that they have defeated were actually consumed by this field boss.
After the world changed, the players still turn into particles when they die but the field monsters are different. They no longer turn into particles but leave a dead body on the ground. The players can still get their drops but now they can get monster meat and materials if they are lucky.
The only monsters that turn into particles of light are monsters that appear in dungeons. This change made summoners easily provide food for their soulbounds and made the alchemist profession have a boom. Previously alchemists were not popular because the materials were difficult to get but it became easier with the new mechanics.
“Ice Spear!” Janice, the mage player, shouted as she created two ice spears and aimed it towards the Venus Fly Toad.
She was careful that she would not hit Claire or else she would die from her spell. They do not know why the Venus Fly Toad actually captured their team member, but it seems to be fascinated with her scent. She is also a member of the wood elf race and intelligent plant monsters often take them as hostages.
Intelligent plant type monsters would often trap elves in order to help them become stronger or evolve. Cases like this are rare back then but it now skyrocketed due to the rise of numerous elf players. The plant type monsters could feel the special nature magic coming from the elves and wants that to make themselves stronger.
The ice spears that she fired managed to hit the Venus Fly Toad but all it did was create a layer of frost on the body of the field boss. She could not use fire magic as she would also hit her team member. All she could do was use her ice spells as she has only mastered two elements but that is still rare for low level players.
“At this rate, she would be imprisoned!” Alan stated as he but the vines that was shot towards him.
The two low level players are losing hope when they suddenly saw a large black wolf behind them. They suddenly thought that another monster appeared that will kill them. The mage and the swordsman brought their backs together as they do not know which monster to take on, but they must have eyes on both at the same time.
“Of all things to encounter, it is another monster. Why are we so unlucky when it comes to things like this.” Janice stated as she remembered that they were always getting followed by monsters.
“Maybe do not poke at monster nests if you do not want to be followed by swarms of monsters.” Alan stated as the two people with him are incredibly curious and would often trigger small monster hordes.
“It is strange though. The wolf monster is not planning to attack us. It is just looking at us as if it is observing us.” Janice stated as she could not feel any threat from the large black wolf in front of them.
“Better safe than sorry. Maybe we can make those two monsters fight each other.” Alan suddenly stated.
“That would have been easier if we had Claire on our side. She was the one that could bait monsters easily but now she is currently wrapped tightly by vines.” Janice grumbled as she does not know what she needs to do.
Sirius observed the two players and noticed that they were somewhat capable as they could actually defend against the Venus Fly Toad. Then again, the Venus Fly Toad was not acting like its normal behavior as if something inside of it is fighting control over it. When Sirius got the command to kill the Venus Fly Toad, he suddenly howled which reverberated in the entire area.
The monsters that were waiting in the shadows suddenly left as Sirius declared that this would be his temporary territory. Any monster that is in a fifty-meter radius of the area would be exterminated without mercy. The monsters that can think properly all evacuated the area as Sirius released his killing intent. 𝓵𝙞𝒃𝓻𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶
The two players felt the killing intent of Sirius and actually froze as they now see how weak they were compared to him. The Venus Fly Toad that is usually timid did not heed the warnings of Sirius which solidified that something is definitely wrong with it. Sirius did not mind as he was tasked to kill the Venus Fly Toad anyways.
Sirius released shadows from below him which turned into large claws protruding from the ground. The Venus Fly Toad that the two players were having difficulty against suddenly died as its head was split from its body. The two players were stunned of what happened because it just happened instantly.
The two players wanted to check the status of their friend, but they were afraid that they would be killed by the black wolf. They could see that Claire was fine as she was not killed by the attack that killed the Venus Fly Toad. She was still in a state of induced sleep due to the poison of the Venus Fly Toad, but she will eventually wake up.
The two were incredibly tensed but soon saw a human tamer next to the black wolf. They immediately dropped to the ground as they could no longer keep on standing due to the tension on their legs. The black wolf is not the only soulbound that they saw as thousands of orb like beings with rainbow tint rolled in the area.
The two players watched as the thousand of rainbow orbs fused together to create a gigantic monster that has the appearance of a slug and a jellyfish. They suddenly felt even more tense as this gigantic monster which is Dodu looked at them like a curious child. The mage player almost fainted as it was equivalent to a monstrous godlike entity looking at them.
Adrian did not even bother greeting them as he inspected the corpse. He wanted to see if the monster really is infected by the World Eater Parasite. As Adrian got closer to the body of the fallen Venus Fly Toad, the dead body of the field boss suddenly started shaking. Adrian teleported the elven player away from the body and next to her friends as he does not want it to change host if it is the World Eater Parasite.
The dead body of the Venus Fly Toad convulsed as an alien worm like thing suddenly emerged from it. The entity looked like a mix of a worm with the carapace of a scorpion. The entity burst out of the body which sent guts flying and making the mage player pass out due to the shock of seeing such a sight.
