Chapter 180
Ch . 180 Bullet Siege
The red ants co charging in from my left, right, and directly in front of . Since they’re no longer grouped together, it’s going to take more ti to fire off [[Kamaitachi]] to stop each of them . Don’t these guys seem to cooperate too well?
I hightail it out of there, occasionally turning around to fire off [[Kamaitachi]] at them . I repel the [[Clay Gun]] that I can’t avoid with my tail and wings instead . Receiving so damage is unavoidable . As long as I don’t get hit on my torso, the damage won’t be anything too serious . I also have [[Rest]] now .
The fourth ant, which has taken multiple blows from my [[Kamaitachi]], gets up and starts running towards again . Shit, guess I should’ve finished it off even though that seed a bit excessive . A four-on-one shootout is going to be fairly hard . These guys, they have the nerve to use their numbers to their advantage to shoot right at my weak points!
I’m struck with [[Clay Gun]] from my left, right, and behind almost simultaneously . Ugh, in perfect sync? If I’m too eager and rush in, I’ll be exposing too many openings . I skilfully avoid the one coming from behind and deal with the ones coming from my left and right with my wings and tail respectively .
The situation is not looking too good right now . Should I consider using [[Roll]] temporarily to shake them and regain my bearings? No, I have a lot of MP and HP this ti . If I simply continue whittling them down like this with hardly any results, I won’t be in ti for the day of the execution . Over ti, this waste of stamina will hurt .
There’s currently quite a lot of space between each red ant . If I’m dealing with a single target, I can use a powerful skill to crush them . This scene could be the deciding mont of our bout . If I can crush just one, then only three would remain . The situation would improve considerably . Even though I’m going to take damage, it would be worth it to beat down one of them .
I ball my limbs up and transition to [[Roll]] . Believing that I’m planning to escape, the ants increase their pace . I swerve heavily and charge towards the red ant that’s trying to cut off from the right side .
“Kuchaaa!”
The red ant fires its [[Clay Gun]] straight at . Although I could avoid it, that would be ti lost . The other red ants co running over . That will be troubleso . Increasing my rotational speed, I fling off the red sand bullets flying towards .
And with that montum, I send the red ant flying . The red ant is knocked backwards considerably, and I hasten my pursuit . That’s one hit! Now for the second! I follow up by tackling the red ant that is now in floating in midair . The red ant’s forelegs are mangled and part of its body is crushed .
“Gudji!!”
The defeated red ant spits out body fluids from its mouth, falling to the ground onto its back . I rcilessly roll right over it .
[416 experience points obtained] [Title Skill [[Walking Egg: Lv -]] activated, 416 bonus points obtained] [Level of [[Evil Plague Dragon]] has increased from 57 to 59 . ]
Yeah, first one down! Now this’ll get much easier .
Even though it couldn’t be helped, I focused too much on a single ant .
“Kucha!” “Kucha!” “Kuacha!”
While I was concentrating on bringing down the first red ant, the other red ants have surrounded . It would seem that they’re going to shoot at with [[Clay Gun]] from three directions .
The montum of [[Roll]] has decreased sharply after colliding with the red ant multiple tis . I have to accelerate again and regain my distance . With enough speed, I can fling off the sand bullets and suppress the damage done to .
As soon as I attempt to increase my rotation speed, my body slips and falls down . Did the ground cave in? No, did they alter the terrain by using [[Clay]] to shift the sand? Does that an that the narrow vision and linear trajectory of [[Roll]] is going to give trouble?
Should I use [[Roll]] to force through my escape just like this? Nah, I think I’ll try flying once again . I prefer it .
As soon as I stop rotating, three [[Clay Gun]] projectiles co flying towards with no grace period for to get into position . I can’t avoid them . I can only knock them down with my tail and protect myself with my wings . I point my wings and tail frontward and prepare to intercept them .
Hold on, I heard three sounds, but there are only two projectiles? Despite that thought, I defend myself against the first shot with my wing and knock down the second shot with my tail . From within the shadow of the second shot, the third sand bullet appears .
Oh, now you’ve done it .
I put my arm in front of and attempt to repel the bullet with my claws . However, the sand bullet slips over my claws, jumping straight for my chest .
“Guuo!”
I take a sand bullet to my chest . The shot has considerable power behind it, but I can’t afford to lose focus . If I get distracted by the pain, then I’m going to be violently killed like a plaything . I’ll end up just like Big Scissor-senpai . I kick off the ground, escaping from the depression in the sand left by the red ants’ [[Clay]] .
Maybe it’s because I overused my wings in guarding myself, but I can’t fly as well as I usually can . It’ll be all over for if I lose my posture while in mid-air . I hastily land and hit the ground running on all fours .
“Kuchaa!” “Kucha!” “Kuchaaa!”
As usual, they’ve surrounded on three sides while running parallel with . I want to at least use [[Flight]] to get out of this formation .
One by one, I use [[Kamaitachi]] to repress them while I run . The red ants should be steadily growing weaker . They aren’t shooting [[Clay Gun]] as much now . They’re out of MP, huh . It’s because they kept firing off skills like crazy even though their max MP isn’t that high .
It was dangerous, but I can see that the ants will soon reach their limit . The ant that’s running behind and to the right of gets struck by [[Kamaitachi]] and collapses to the ground onto its back . I thought that last one was a blow that it could avoid; was it at its physical limit too?
[400 experience points obtained] [Title Skill [[Walking Egg: Lv -]] activated, 400 bonus points obtained] [Level of [[Evil Plague Dragon]] has increased from 59 to 60 . ]
Did you die? You hung on pretty well . There aren’t many ants that could take on a dragon to this extent . At least, I had not seen sothing like this in my previous life . Not that I rember much, but that much I can affirm . If such ants existed, Earth would be ruined .
Well, there are only two remaining? I consider using [[Roll]] again to put so more distance between us, but if it’s only these two, I can beat them and win in the usual manner . I could take them out imdiately .

Yeah, both their HP and MP are practically gone . I want to limit wasting my own MP as much as possible . Should I stop attacking while running away and instead try to finish them at once?[1]
