[POV Reo]
"Let's go I have found what I have been looking for" I said while looking towards the colony's direction. Both Fleur and Jean already knew that the mission is more important, they can look around as long as they want after we finish our mission…
"So, what are we looking for?" Jean asked looking slightly curious.
"A lump of tal… well, not exactly a lump" I said while shaking my head. I was still unable to get the right word.
"Are you serious? Did we fly to another side of the world for a lump of tal? Must be so tal" Fleur exasperated while glaring at .
"Of course, what do you take for? I don't know the exact properties of the tal but it is sothing special" I said while nodding my head. Neither Jean nor Fleur were happy due to lack of information but they still nodded their heads. After all, they knew very well, that sotis we didn't have all the information.
"So, have you found where it is? It should have been easy for you, right?" Jean asked after she released a sigh.
I raised my hand and pointed in the colony's direction. The island was filled with several kinds of tals but I knew all of them… except the one where I was pointing and it's pretty common knowledge that Vibranium dropped from space so it made it much easier for to guess.
"Ok, let's go" Fleur said and her fiery wings ford behind her back. Jean also followed Fleur's example and wings of fla ford on her back.
"Take it slow, no need to rush now" I warned the girls and started to fly towards the colony. The girls nodded their heads with serious looks on their faces and followed silently.
Because of the distance, I was unable to determine what kind of beings were residing in that colony. From what I know from the comics, there are several kinds of beings on this island. It could be Atlanteans, Beast-n, or so kind of mutant beings but I was sure about one thing, that the beings were bipedal.
Only after flying for about half a minute, I was sure that the beings residing near the unknown tal were not human… they had iron in their bodies but they didn't have blood, the fluids in their bodies seed to be unmoving. It took us about ten minutes to reach the colony… and the three of us landed on a nearby tree branch.
"I am not dreaming, right?" Fleur said with a bewildered look on her face. As soon as she finished speaking she rubbed her eyes to check if her eyes were seeing right…
Jean didn't say anything and shook her head… she shook her head once again "Nope… ants are definitely walking on two legs" Jean gasped in surprise.
"Ugh… they are big like humans, I honestly don't want to et their queen" Fleur whined and groaned right after she was done whining.

While the girls were busy in their own world, I was busy watching the ant colony, it brought back several mories of Solo Levelling World, I wonder if they have the Ant King in there or not… there is definitely a queen inside there. I was already sensing a gigantic life sign buried under there sowhere…
Well, who cares about the Ant Queen, my eyes were scanning the prize… a huge boulder of deep red tal was sticking out of the ground… I wonder if the Anti-tal is responsible for the mutation in those ants… quite possible.
After all, this tal can destroy the molecular bonds of the other tals and liquify them, I would have been surprised if it didn't have any effects on living beings… I really want to make myself an armor out of this stuff…
"Thankfully, we have learned how to use our flas" Jean's words brought out of my thoughts.
"Hold your horses, girls. I don't know how your Flas will affect that tal, so don't use your flas… and now Fiendfyre" I said to the girls.
Fleur snorted "You are the one who should keep it in mind not to use Fiendfyre… after all, that's your signature move" Fleur deadpanned.
"…True" I conceded, after all, Fiendfyre was my favorite spell, I have used that spell even more than the Cruciatus Curse… the three of us nodded with each other and jumped down to the ground… as soon as we did that the ants were notified because of the vibration.
I felt like I was in Solo Levelling with how the insects started to crawl out of their nest. Jean was already using her disintegrating powers and the ants started to disintegrate into dust… Fleur was spewing out normal flas from her palms… unfortunate that I was unable to use Fiendfyre…
Even though I was disappointed I didn't let it bother for too long and started to spew out flas from my palms like Fleur. I was using normal Incendio but on a much bigger scale… even though it was the simplest fire spell, it was working perfectly.
Looks like it was true that ants didn't think for themselves… they kept crawling out of their hidey holes and didn't care if they were turned to dust by Jean or burned into oblivion by Fleur and . I was continuously sensing their life signs and there were still thousands of them inside that nest…
For a few minutes, this continued until I felt that the ants were moving in our direction from under the ground. I have to say that they are really dedicated if they are digging new holes just to get to us… it would have worked if I wasn't able to sense their life signs.
"There are digging new holes… right under us" I shouted, both Jean and Fleur nodded their heads, and the three of us started to move while continuing the slaughter or massacre… whatever you wanted to call it.
"How many of them are in there?" Fleur asked while gritting her teeth, it was clear that she was frustrated… I was also frustrated. I wanted to end this quickly…
"Fleur, Jean, hold them back I have gotten an idea" I said, both girls nodded their heads in understanding… it wasn't like we were getting forced back but it was getting annoying… and if those ants kept digging the holes beneath us then the whole place might cave in before they reach us.
I closed my eyes and started to pull every ounce of tal I was able to in my direction but I carefully left aside the Anti-tal, I didn't want to ss with it, for now. The ant screeches filled the whole place… yes, they have iron in their bodies but the amount was very low to cause them any pain…
But it looks like I was wrong and they were feeling pain now that I was ripping out iron out of their bodies… even after I extracted the iron from their bodies they were still alive and able to move… within a few seconds I had tonnes of tal to use… I gestured the girls to take flight and they followed.
I started to slowly rise up in the air and the tal dust around us started to morph into huge lances… lightning crackled around my body and I started to charge the lances with lightning. When the girls rose up to a suitable height, I started to launch the lances towards the ground one after another.
The ground was mostly hollow so as soon as the lances touched the ground they started the blow apart the whole place. Looks like I was right and the whole place started to cave in… then, I concentrated my whole attention towards the biggest being inside there.
I didn't stop launching the lances and I was pretty sure that Ant Queen was blown apart by now but I didn't stop. As soon as the lances finished, I pulled them back and launched them once again… and kept doing that several tis… I could still feel that there were several life signs inside there but I think that they were inconsequential.
"I think that would be enough" I said and waited for the dust cloud to settle down. When the dust cloud finally settled down, I saw that a pool of liquid tal was ford around the mountain of Anti-tal. The lances that landed near the Anti-tal must have turned into liquid.
"Whew! I think that you slightly overdid it" Jean said and whistled when she saw the amount of destruction I had caused.
"I agree, but this looks to be really interesting" Fleur said pointing towards the poll of liquid tal. The three of us landed near the pool but none of us touched it… Fleur kneeled down and started to cast so charms on the pool.
"Fascinating…!! None of the tals in this pool should be in liquid form at normal temperature… but here they are" Fleur said and looked towards the Anti-tal. She fired so spells on the Anti-tal and a frown appeared on her face…
"This isn't a tal native to this world…" Fleur whispered and continued her inspections. Jean looked towards and I just shrugged, looks like Fleur was already in her scientist mode. Jean also shrugged and continued to watch Fleur, who was looking at the mountain of Anti-tal with clear fascination.
"This tal here seems to have so very unique properties…" Fleur almost squealed. "Amazing!!" out of a sudden Fleur exclaid like a mad scientist and started to stare at the deep red tal in complete fascination…
