Countless giant mosquitoes shortly flew into the wall of death and killed themselves, regardless of their size and strength.
Whether they were Mortal-level Giant Mosquitoes or Paragon-level Mosquitoes, they died all the same under the power of the Paragon-level Death Law.
Hundreds became thousands, and thousands became tens of thousands; the swarm of giant mosquitoes continued to fly towards their death blindly.
The wall of Paragon-level death power was like an impregnable fortress whose defense could not be breached—No, it was more accurate to call the death gate.
No living giant mosquitoes could pass through it alive.
Nevertheless, the giant mosquitoes’ efforts did bore some fruits in their stubborn attempt to reach Leon.
After all, the giant mosquitoes’ dead bodies drew closer to Leon as their dead bodies increased, pushed through the wall of death by the swarms of living giant mosquitoes behind them.
As the lives of countless giant mosquitoes were snuffed out, death energy was generated from their bodies.
Without exception, Leon absorbed all the death energy and fed it to his Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness and nurtured the Death Fruit.
Eventually, the weight of the dead mosquitoes became too great for the living giant mosquitoes to carry and push up.
However, the number of giant mosquitoes swarming toward Leon continued to increase.
Poof!
The living mosquitoes at the forefront were quickly crushed under the immense weight of the two opposing forces.
At the same time, the giant mosquitoes were jammed pack together without room to flap their wings, causing the entire swarm of giant mosquitoes to sink and smash into the other giant mosquitoes on their way down.
Nevertheless, Leon felt like it was a loss not to continue farming death energy from the giant mosquitoes when they actually give quite a decent amount of it.
Swoosh!
Leon waved his hand and sent out a large wave of destruction to erase all the mosquito carcasses devoid of death energy.
Almost immediately, a significant burden was lifted off the swarm of giant mosquitoes, allowing them to push their way up with the fewer dead mosquitoes on top of them again.
After Leon successfully re-established the previous situation, he continued to kill the giant mosquitoes with the death wall, drain their death energy, and finally erase their worthless carcasses.
Just like that, Leon received a steady flow of death energy while the giant mosquitoes’ numbers continued to dwindle with each passing moment.
Gradually, the giant mosquito swarm was reduced to no more than a thousand giant mosquitoes.
Although Leon farmed quite a fair amount of death energy from the giant mosquitoes, it was hardly enough to improve the Death Fruit hanging on his Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness.
‘Seems like it will take a lot more death energy than this to nurture the Paragon-level Death Fruit to surpass my present comprehension in the Death Law,” Leon mused.
Bizz! Bizz!
After Leon heard the buzzing mosquitoes seemingly cry, he focused his attention on their rear and noticed the remaining giant mosquitoes were being attacked by the angry golden bees.
It was pretty clear that the giant golden bees did not forget a grudge when they had one.
Many of their kin were killed under the giant mosquito swarm’s onslaught and now was their chance to retaliate when the giant mosquitoes had been severely weakened.
Nevertheless, the giant mosquitoes did not go down without a fight. As their rear was being attacked, the giant mosquitoes turned around to resist the giant golden bees’ counteroffensive maneuver.
‘They’re stupid enough to charge into the death wall and throw away relentlessly, but they’re not stupid enough to ignore the golden bees’ attacks on their rear, huh?’ Leon mused thoughtfully.
‘It seems that just shows how attractive my blood is to these giant mosquitoes.’
Leon watched the giant golden bees overpower the giant mosquitoes with their superior numbers until the giant mosquitoes were backed against the death wall.
Seeing how close the golden bees were to the death wall, Leon thought of something and decided to release the death wall.
He retracted all the death power back into his Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness.
‘Considering these golden bees’ defensive and vengeful traits, I don’t want to accidentally kill one of them,’ Leon thought.
The golden bees were too weak to pose a threat to Leon. He could easily wipe them all out—if he chose to do so.
However, Leon believed that golden bees would be much more useful if they could be tamed—or at the very least, placed in a controlled environment.
‘Because of the absence of honey bees, honey production is almost non-existent in this world,’ Leon thought.
Honey was not only an excellent ingredient for enhancing a variety of food recipes, but it is also a key ingredient in many medicinal recipes focused on healing injuries, curing diseases, and removing poisons.
‘If I could provide these golden bees with a suitable environment to produce honey, I could obtain large amounts of honey. Furthermore, they will also be of high quality as well,’ Leon mused.
He didn’t need to worry about not having a suitable environment back in the empire.
Even if there wasn’t one, he had all the elves and resources needed in order to build an artificial biome for the golden bees to reside and produce the honey within.
Nevertheless, after the death wall was released, several giant mosquitoes resumed their attack on Leon with their needle-like mouths.
It was clear that they were all female mosquitoes. Only female mosquitoes suck blood to survive and procreate.
Alas, Leon wasn’t fond of mosquitoes, nor was he keen on getting poked by them—even if they won’t be able to pierce his skin.
Pah!
Leon immediately swatted one of the giant mosquitoes to death with a palm strike. The sheer force behind his palm easily splattered them upon impact.
“Mozzies sucks,” Leon uttered.
Pah! Pah! Pah!
Leon quickly swatted several more giant mosquitoes as he retreated.
At the same time, the giant golden bees continued their relentless attacks on the giant mosquitoes’ rear with their stingers.
Before long, the giant mosquitoes in the region were completely eradicated.
