Even though Jayden didn''t have much time to perfect SWARM yet, but it was still a great feat that the Tottering Demon was able to tell that this was not the real Kingdom.


    " But who could be this skilled, I have never even heard of something like this. " Someone else asked.


    "..."


    The Tottering Demon pondered his words and fell into deep thoughts for a few seconds before answering: "I think it''s that brat, Wang Jin, maybe he is possessed by someone or maybe he found some kind of treas- "


    His words were interrupted when suddenly they all felt a familiar oppressing feeling, pushing down on their bodies.


    " I- It''s that giant beast again! " A man shouted when they looked towards the sky, through mist and clouds the giant figure of a beast could be seen vaguely.


    *ROOOAAAARRRRRRRRR*


    A deafening roar resounded everywhere as the giant octopus was finally visible to everyone, four of itsrge hands waved in the air creating strong gusts of wind, all of them were only able to see half of its body while half of its body was covered by the cloud and mist.


    " Get in the formation. " The Tottering Demon shouted, as he stood at the fore front of the group.


    Vanguard was taken by the three peak rank Cultivators, and the secondyer of defence was the seven Spirit Strengthening realm cultivators, and atst, the remaining men stood behind them as backup.


    " Layer two prepare to defend. " The Tottering Demonmanded, referring to Spirit Strengthening realm Cultivators, then he added:


    " The rest of youunch your strongest attacks, look out for all sides and don''t break the formation. "


    When he was finished, the two peak rank and the Spirit Creation realm Cultivators began to prepare their strongest attacks, while Tottering Demon and the secondyer prepared severalyers of the defenses.


    *ROOOAAAARRRRRRRRR*


    Another roar came out of the beast''s mouth, as four of its hands descended towards the tenyers of shield that had appeared in front of the group.


    *BOOOOOM*


    *BOOOOOM*


    *BOOOOOM*


    *BOOOOOM*


    One by one all four of its hands descended, and struck the firstyer of the shield breaking it after some resistance, but the first hand was stopped by the thirdyer, when its second hand came down, it was able to destroy the thirdyer and was stopped by the fifthyer.


    Within a few seconds, all four hands were stopped by the shield, though only thestyer of it remained, then the cultivators roared and all of themunched their attacks.


    *BANNGGG*


    *BANNGGG*


    *BOOOOM*


    All kinds of attacks wereunched towards the first hand of the giant beast, as wounds began to appear on its slimy skin.


    A shrill cry filled with pain resounded from the beast''s mouth, Although it wasn''t real Jayden had added this effect just to give these men the satisfaction of hurting their enemy.


    " I- It''s working, keep attacking that hand, W- we will be able to S- severe it after few more a- attacks. " An excited voice resounded from the secondter, as they hastily poured their energies to generate the shields again.


    Since the Tottering demon''s speciality wasn''t attacking, he was helping the secondyer in creating strong defences, after one barrage of attacks the first hand of the giant beast was almost detached, and everyone knew that it would only take one more round of attack to destroy that arm.


    " Stay in position, and ready all theyers of defences. " The Tottering Demon shouted, they were almost finished with the tenthyer of the shield when another loud roar resounded.


    *ROOOAAAAAARRRRRRR*


    Again, fourrge hands were swung towards them, as all the men readied themselves for the impact.


    *BOOOOOM*


    *BOOOOOM*


    *BOOOOOM*


    *BOOOOOM*


    Four loud explosions sounded again, and this time the first hand wasn''t even able to destroy the firstyer of the shield, so all four hands were stopped when they reached the seventhyer.


    " ATTACK "


    A loud shout came when another wave of attacks wasunched towards the giant octopus, they were again aimed at the first hand of the beast.


    Loud explosions sounded, as countless attacks hit the already injured arm of the octopus, Jayden who was looking at everything from the top can''t help butpare this scene to the game, the console games he had yed using coins.


    Another painful cry came out of the giant beast''s mouth as one of its arm was severed from its body, a wave of cheers rang out from the group 3 as they began to prepare their defences for the next offence.


    '' I wonder how they would feel when they find out that it is not the final boss. ''


    Jayden thought and directed his gaze towards the second group, Rakshasa had already broken the limbs of most of the Spirit Strengthening realm cultivators, and the others had already been absorbed by the little creatures.


    The few remaining men were doing whatever they could to stop the insects but because of getting attacked from both sides, their situation was making it impossible for them to do anything.


    Within seconds, even the remaining men were engulfed by the wave of small creatures, as screams and explosions rang out from inside it, those cultivators were madlyunching any attacks they could, but it wasn''t long before several corpses fell down with not even an ounce of blood and energy.


    '' Good, group two is finished too, soon the third group would be able to destroy all four of the octo''s arms in about fifteen minutes, let''s see how the fourth group is faring. ''


    Thinking this he directed his gaze towards thest group that was being led by the Crazy Bull, but this group only had two Peak rank cultivators, which ced it in a disadvantageous positionpared to others.


    Like the the other three groups, they have also noticed the strangeness in the environment around them, but unlike his name, the Crazy Bull stayed calm and observed the situation carefully after which he came to a conclusion simr to his brother, as he spoke:


    " I believe that this ce isn''t our kingdom, we are probably inside a maze of some sort, either we got here when the mist blurred our vision or when that giant beast appeared andunched an attack on us. "


    The rest of the members listened and couldn''t help but admire their leader even more, but this was no time for that, the other peak rank old man looked tense as he asked:


    " Crazy Bull, what should we do now? No matter what we tried, no method of contacting others is working here, should we go and look for them? " Shaking his head, the crazy bull replied:


    " That would be stupid since we might enter a deadly trap without even knowing it, whoever has deployed this maze is either has weak strength so he is trying to reduce our number or he is just ying with us, either way, all we can do is wait here for now and observe how the situation turns out. "


    Everyone felt that his words were reasonable, they stood vigntly observing their surroundings with utmost concentration.


    *BUZZZZZZZ*
