Chapter 203
Ch . 203 The Underground Battle
I confront the Red Ant army . There are about twenty of them, but that amount makes no difference to . Can I push through in one go?
“Kucchacchaccha!”
An unpleasant cry resounds from the depths of the passageway . A large, stout Red Ant appears . It’s leading a large number of Red Ants as well . More reinforcents, huh? This is considerably bigger than the previous nest . It seems like this won’t be easy .
……That big Red Ant, is it the captain? Although I can’t understand the Red Ant’s facial expressions, it looks composed . I do not know the exact number due to the rows of enemy reinforcents continuing around the corner, but it seems there are less than thirty ants .
I fire [[Wind Slash]] at the approaching Red Ants . Instead of firing it directly at them, I aim at the floor near them . By aiming the blast wave indirectly at their feet, I can limit their mobility .
Unlike outside, If it is this narrow passageway, then there is no need to worry about losing sight of the enemy . Even if the enemies line up side by side, three shots of [[Wind Slash]] can cover the entire width of the passageway .
The Red Ants’ [[Clay Gun]] is their specialty, but the blasts from [[Wind Slash]] can deflect it . If this is the case, I will have the upper hand . I can one-sidedly shave off the enemy’s HP .
Be that as it may, My MP is running severely low . Even if leveling up raises my max MP, it is aningless unless my MP is replenished . Since I have [[Automatic HP Recovery]], is it okay to take a little damage to my health instead?
“Kucha!” “Kuchaa!”
The Red Ants on my side have caught up to and have begun shooting [[Clay Gun]] at the enemy . It is adequate cover fire . As a whole group, the enemy Red Ants are exhausting their strength . Every ti they fall, [[Voice of God]] announces the amount of experience gained and level ups .
“Kuchaaa!”
Judging that they were at a disadvantage, the enemy red ants forcefully attempt to draw closer . However, there is an unreasonable amount of sacrifice being made in order to move forward . While the enemy was shortening the distance between us, a large number of them fell victim to the [[Clay Gun]] shots from behind .
Just when I thought that we had gained the advantage, more enemy reinforcents erge from the passage once again . Much to my dismay, it doesn’t look like this battle will end anyti soon .
“Kucha!”
The enemy Red Ants in the front row finally lunge at . I use my arm to knock them down, but it will not be over that easily . Following the first one, they rapidly begin throwing themselves on .
Even though I have the advantage in the fight, it did not make up for the difference in numbers . Right now, I don’t have much MP left . If they get past and attack the red ants behind , we could be instantly defeated .
I spread out in the passageway and deal with the enemies on the right side . Let’s leave the left side to my partner, though I am a little uneasy about it . Even if I can’t beat them all, if I flip them, the Red Ants can finish them off with their covering fire .
The fight lasts nearly ten minutes . Although there were difficulties along the way, my Red Ant army took little damage and supported on my left side,which prevented us from receiving any fatal injuries . The ally Red Ant captain was fighting in front of , but when it’s leg was damaged by an attack, it was dragged by its allies back into the passageway to recover . Because it was a long fight, I had lost concentration and was about to be attacked by an enemy who had entered my blind spot . With great timing, ball rabbit alerted of the threat with [[Telepathy]] .
The enemy Red Ants fell one after another, and this seems to have been noticed .
“Kucchaccha…………Kucha?”
It’s that big Red Ant . I wonder when the big Red Ant will co, but the enemy Red Ants are not moving . It was a little further behind from the center of the group . It was clear that, until now, the Red Ants’ intentions were to carry out suicidal attacks .
The big Red Ant looks around in shock . Huh, that is the captain, right? My Red Ant captain was fighting on the frontlines, though…… Well, their fighting thods seem to differ depending on the Red Ant in charge .
There are many different types of leaders . There are those that inspire and fight with their troops at the frontline, and those that give instructions from a safe position, but surely both are good leadership styles, right? Well, I wouldn’t really know .
“Kuchaaaa!”
The big Red Ant turns around and flees . I jump on its back . My partner’s head hits the ceiling, but it’s okay . I impale it with a claw and flip it while throwing it onto the ground .
[135 experience points obtained . ]
[Title Skill [[Walking Egg:Lv–]] activated, 135 bonus points obtained . ]
[[[Ouroboros]] level has risen from 54 to 55 . ]
……The amount of experience is not very high . As expected, it wasn’t a very good leader .
[Normal Skill [[Death:Lv1]] Acquired]
This… does not seem to be a good skill to use . Just in case, let’s check its details with [[Voice of God]] . I have not examined a skill in a long ti .
[Normal Skill [[Death]] ]
[A form of dark magic that reaps the target’s life . ]
[It is powerful, but often fails . The consumption of MP is very large . The success rate varies depending on the difference between the user’s and the target’s magic levels] .
O-oi . Was recovery magic not my strong point? It’s sothing like a death spell, though . Moreover, this is useless in regards to what is essential for recovery skills .
After this, I am going to learn recovery skills, right? Or rather, I was the one who learned [[Death]], right? If my companion learned it, I would be terrified . It would be like a boss AI in a ga that keeps using the instant death spell and wasting all of its MP .
……For now, none of the allied Red Ants have fallen . So have had their bodies crushed by stray bullets from [[Clay Gun]], so I use [[High Rest]] as an ergency asure to save them . Their bodies are still in poor shape, but if the Red Ants’ MP recovers later, they should be able to heal up with [[Autoregeneration]] .
Even though the enemy Red Ants have been continuously sending reinforcents, they suddenly stopped . This is the enemy’s base . There is no reason for the news to not have been spread . It seems that they must have run out of reinforcents . My level has risen considerably too . Now, I just have to take the head of the Queen Ant to finish this .
