Chapter 186
Ch . 186 – Big Tumultuous Battle
I can see that there are more than eighty red ants just from roughly looking around the area .
Ya know… your total fighting force is just too much, red ants .
I quickly take a deep breath . As I do so, Adofu rolls and falls back underneath me .
That’s some good judgment .
If Adofu didn’t move quickly, then this preemptive strike would’ve probably failed .
Bringing my neck and body around, I breathe out [[Scorching Breath]] and let loose a torrent of flames in all directions .
The red ants, far from pulling back, instead jump right into my flames as if that’s their signal .
”Kucha!!” “Kucha!” “Kuchaa!!”
I fight back while using my claws, tail, and wings to their fullest .
The poison has made the red ants’ movement sluggish enough to make it possible to deal with them .
But even though it’s possible, it’s still very difficult .
To start with, red ants are tougher when compared to other C-ranked monsters due to their [[Auto-Regeneration]] skill .
Even if I knock them to the ground with a single strike from my claws, they just get back up and go back to snapping at me…there aren’t many other monsters who would do that .
I can’t reliably direct enough attention to any one single ant to finish them off .
If I let up with my claws, tail, and wings even once, I’m going to be attacked severely .
They’re rus.h.i.+ng at me without end .
Any red ant that gets damaged quickly falls back and immediately gets replaced by more
ants waiting in the back .
All that while the retreating red ants use [[Auto Regeneration]] to repair their wounds .
Thanks to the number of opponents, I can hardly hit any of them with a finis.h.i.+ng blow .
”Kuchaa!!”
Suddenly, a red ant that I thought had retreated after being dealt a heavy blow, instead vigorously bites into my arm!
The red ant figured out when my attention would be diverted from it and managed to land a precise hit on me through a gap in my defenses!
The red ant wants to use this chance to throw me off so that the rest of them can rush in and take me down .
”GuuoOO!!”
While the red ant is still biting into my arm I encase my surroundings with the flames from [[Scorching Breath]] .
I slam the red ant on my arm against the ground, and I’m finally able to kill one of them . This took longer than before .

[t.i.tle Skill [[Walking Egg Lv -]] activated, 360 bonus points obtained . ]
…If I can’t escape after acc.u.mulating enough experience points, then I’ll have to evolve inside the nest .
Adofu is standing at my feet and slicing at red ants with his large sword .
Though he’s mostly only using himself as a distraction, he’s effectively reducing the number of ants focusing on me .
I appreciate it very much .
…However, because of where he is standing, Adofu is always in my blind spot . Because of that, I’m worried that if I turn my head to fire off a breath attack, or start moving
moving suddenly, I’ll accidentally hit him .
”…Excuse me for a bit . ”
Adofu suddenly climbs up my tail, and from there leaps onto my shoulder . He defends against a red ant that attacked me, compensating for my own mistake .
Oohh, my bad . You saved me there .
After Adofu repels a red ant, I skewer it with my claws and slam it against the wall .
[Obtained 403 Experience Points . ]
[t.i.tle Skill [[Walking Egg Lv -]] activated, 403 bonus points obtained . ]
[Level of [[Evil Plague Dragon]] has increased from 63 to 64 . ]
Alright, my level’s gone up .
It’s going to be a little tough, but at this rate I’m likely to raise myself by 10 more levels all in this one fight .
”Pefu!!”
[Ahead! Back Turn Around!]
Listening to the ball rabbit’s [[Telepathy]] I quickly spin around and strike a red ant that leaps at me, letting it fall .
