Chapter 83 - The Bug!
Upon seeing the Beast that emerged from the split in the ground, Ban immediately told the System to access the [Book of Techniques] All About Them, regarding the information of the Beast in front of them.
The System worked swiftly and a moment later, it instantly injected the knowledge about the black eyeball Beast directly into his brain.
[Successful! Beast identified as the Black Eye Bug!
Black Eye Bug!
Rank: Can reach upto C-Grandmaster Rank on its peak strength.
Grade: Lord Grade Beast!
A huge bug with the form of an eyeball. They feed on the vitality of trees, drying them up until all their essences are dried up. They infect the roots of the trees and connect their center tentacles towards the tree's main system. After drying all the tree's essences, the Black Eye Bug will gain the ability to control the tree to act as its host. The moment the mother Black Eye Bug settled itself on a tree, it would then release its offspring towards the surrounding trees to continue searching for more victims. The moment the Mother Black Eye Bug releases its offspring, it will experience dizziness and will go out of control, they especially love sucking the vitality of trees that have tranquilizing effects on them to counter the dizziness and to prevent them from going out of control.

The knowledge was directly injected to Ban's brain and he felt dizzy as the information injected this time was greater than before.Maybe it was due to the fact that the Beast was on another realm or a few ranks higher than him, but Ban could only endure it as he knew how important it was to gain the information about the enemy.
BOOM!
Ban heard a loud explosion on the place where the Elder Red-Panda was earlier. The attack came from the Elder Monk Tree itself, or rather, from the Black Eye Bug that was controlling it.
Ban got worried for the Elder Red-Panda's well being as there's a chance that it might not know the information and the Skills of the Black Eye Bug as it also did not think about inspecting the roots before.
The Black Eye Bug tried to retaliate by smashing the Elder Red-Panda using the branch of the dead Elder Monk Tree. Ban got worried as smokes rose from the ground where the Elder Red-Panda was earlier. However, his worry was just for naught as the next second, he saw the Elder Red-Panda floating beside the Black Eye Bug. The Elder Red-Panda's green eyes were still full of rage as it stared directly at the iris of the Black Eye Bug.
Boom!
An explosion was heard again as the Elder Red-Panda slapped the Black Eye Bug. The Black Eye Bug was immediately flung towards the Elder Monk Tree as if it was struck by a fast moving object.
"HOW DARE YOU!"
The Elder Red-Panda bellowed loudly for the second time as its body transformed into a blur before it materialized in front of Black Eye Bug, just before it could hit the Elder Monk Tree.
The Elder Red-Panda grabbed the Black Eye Bug's center tentacles before punching it again with greater force. As the Elder Red-Panda held the Black Eye Bug's tentacle tightly, it could only bounce back after getting hit by the Elder Red-Panda's punch.The Elder Red-Panda repeated these actions over and over again until the Black Eye Bug's reddish iris completely went red due to blood.
The Black Eye Bug tried to retaliate during this time but unfortunately for it, the Elder Red-Panda will only slap the attack away as if it was nothing.
After a few seconds of being a punching bag, or rather a 'Punchin Bug', the tentacles of the Black Eye Bug finally went limp, and even its center tentacle was no longer throbbing, indicating that it was no longer in control of the dead Elder Monk Tree.
The Elder Red-Panda held the Black Eye Bug upside down with its tentacles while still floating mid-air. The rage on its eyes has now died down but if Ban saw it, he would still definitely feel fear.
The Elder Red-Panda slowly raised its right hand above its head. It waved its hands in circular motion and a while later, a ball of green energy was formed at the top of its palms. Although it may look like it was full of tranquility, if observed closely, one would definitely see tiny black colored lights floating inside the green energy ball.
The black tiny colored lights would bump against each other without care, and one could say that instead of tranquility, the green energy ball was actually an energy ball that is full of chaos.
And when the Black Eye Bug saw that chaos energy ball, it started shaking violently in fear and even its limp tentacles went lively again, as it tried to slap the Elder Red-Panda away.
However, the Elder Red-Panda only stared at it as if it was staring at an insignificant being, as its two long white eyebrows moved to deflect the Black Eye Bug's tentacles.
A while later, the green chaos energy ball became as big as the Elder Red-Panda's head, and a fourth compared to the size of the Black Eye Bug. But even though its size was smaller, the Black Eye Bug was still very afraid of it as it did not stop even for a second trying to escape from the grasp of the Elder Red-Panda.
"Don't blame me for this! If only you did not target the Elder Monk Tree that I have personally planted, I would definitely not take away your lowly life. Alas… Just be sure to be careful in your next life! DIE!" The Elder Red-Panda bellowed as it attacked the Black Eye Bug with the chaos energy ball on its hand.
"ELDER, STOP!"
