Upon entering the large hole, the first thing I noticed was the beautiful… Ruins left behind…
The remains of the wooden scaffolding that the humans had probably prepared for the excavation work, and the tools of so kind, had either been eaten or were just scraps of leftover food, but the ruins had not been touched at all, and other than being weathered, they remained very clean.
…I guess these bugs were the defense chanism of these ruins after all.
They were programd to protect this place.
It seed that the humans had been excavating this place for a long ti. What on earth did they dig up, suddenly causing these bugs to move?
Inside, there were still more bugs than outside, but still nothing to worry about at this degree, so without stopping at all, we went deeper where we could feel the hostile reactions welling up – and eventually, those things appeared.
They looked like sothing from the famous Al**n series in my previous life.
In that series, there was a monster called X*n*m*rph.
Their appearance definitely resembled it.
It was very unpleasant and made feel disgusted and uneasy.
Moreover, it was a creature with an excellent form that one could tell at a glance that it was strong.
And among them, there was an individual called [Queen], which looked so big and super strong that when I saw it in the film for the first ti, I was quite fearful of it.
What I ant to say was that – the one that was snarling at us in front of us with its teeth bare was an individual that reminded of such a queen.
Race: Insect Living Golem Queen
Level: 5??
“…Strong.”
Compared to the bugs I’ve killed along the way, it was several tis bigger.
It looked basically the sa as the others, but it was spiky and sharp all over, and it looked very solid.
The part that particularly differed from other bugs was its belly.
Unlike other bugs, its belly alone was as big as a four-ton truck.
It could probably go toe to toe with monsters from the western area of the Demon Forest.
It was a foe that I would have to exert myself to the utmost to defeat.
I had already ingested an advanced mana potion beforehand, so I still had enough magic power to spare….
[Hmmm, this is a good opportunity. Watch , young lord.]
“…You’re going to deal with it?”
[Hmm. As the one who taught you the power of spirits, I will show you what it is like to master spirits.]
With these words, the Spirit King moved forward as if he were moving through the air.
The Queen seed to understand his threat even though she was a golem, showing her alarm in her inorganic eyes, shaking her wings and exerting her utmost nace.
[The strength of a spirit resides in the fact that almost all of them are invisible…. unless of course you can see them. Unless one has a very good ability to recognize magic, such as your wife or the girl with the sheep’s horns, one will not even be able to notice their presence. –Like this]
The next mont, without warning, a gut-wrenching sound echoed through the air, and at the sa ti, all the Insect Queen’s wings exploded.
[—-!!!]
The Insect Queen did not seem to have a vocal organ, but she made a sound that seed to be a mixture of a scream and anger by moving her body stiffly, then rushed forward.
But strangely – it was slow.
Without knowing what happened.
Its head fell off… And then….
I did not know whether it was because it was a bug or because it was a golem, but the Insect Queen was still moving, but one after another, her body parts fell off, as if she had been dissected by an invisible blade – and what was left was a dismbered corpse.
The Insect Queen died.
“…What was that attack?”
[It was caused by a wind spirit. A wind blade – or, to put it correctly, a spatial rupture…? Got it? It cuts the target by creating a gap between space-ti and breaking the continuity of space. You will be able to use it once you get used to it.]
“…I see.”
I replied with a slightly bitter smile to Spirit King who said so in a nonchalant manner.
Yeah, well…just like Lefi, he would certainly be classified as a calamity class existence.
It was no wonder that their standards were so strange.
