Chapter 186 (2/2)
I try to pursue it and cut it down, but once again, red ants are leaping at me from both the left and right side so I focus my attention toward them instead .
I send the ants on my sides flying with a quick gust from my wings, and s.h.i.+ft my attention towards the front again . The red ant I just struck down is no longer there, and once again, another ant has taken its place, readying its body to leap at me .
Is this h.e.l.l?
I was too naive .
Even though the poison weakened the red ants, it didn’t create enough of a gap between our physical abilities for me to
me to push back this wave .
For a moment, the red ants’ rush stopped .
I’m relieved to have even just an extra second of time . It gives me time to relax .
The next moment, the red ants join together, and with perfect timing, simultaneously attack me from all directions .
Completely trusting my back to Adofu, I turn around to the red ants coming toward me from the front and strike them repeatedly with [[Kamaitachi]] .
After that, I take a step forward, and since the wave of ants in front of me can’t stop since they are being pushed from behind, I shoot a blade of wind directly into them .
After somehow enduring the difficulty from the ants that came from in front, I quickly look behind me .
I don’t think Adofu is able to deal with all the red ants from the rear .
Sure enough, some red ants are able to slip through and are about to jump me .
There are five of them .
I prioritize mitigating any damage to me, and launch [[Dragon Punch]] repeatedly at them as an uppercut .
For the last remaining one, I ram into it with a headb.u.t.t .
”Kucha!!” “KuchAA!!” “Kucha!!”
The red ants cry out .
The ground beneath me melts, and swallows up my feet .
Once again, with impeccable timing, they simultaneously attack using [[Clay]] to alter the pa.s.sageway . They opted for a two-stage attack .
I try to pull my foot out with all of my strength, but it doesn’t budge .
Naturally, the red ants don’t miss this opportunity .
They
opportunity .
They again crowd around me .
”Kuchaa!!” “Kuchaa!!
The red ants cry out again .
This time, the ceiling deforms, and a red needle starts to grow out of it towards me .
What the h.e.l.l? These guys have far too much technique!
The clay below me is trapping my feet, and the clay above me is now a needle .
And finally, a swarm of red ants are heading toward me .
This is just bad in general .
The worst is that I can’t free my foot .
Is- is this the end…?
”…This is bad, but I swore revenge on Irus.h.i.+a for my relatives . He is a man whom I must not let live . ”
Adofu says this before rus.h.i.+ng into the swarm of red ants .
And like that, he pushes his way through the red ants . While parrying off the red ants’ attacks with his large sword, he continues advancing forcibly .
W- What is this?
Are you fleeing?
But no, this is not a place that you can forcibly break through .
You’ll absolutely get lynched on the way and it’ll be all over for you!
Adofu swings his large sword and slashes a red ant that’s in his way .
But before he can finish, a red ant that’s in Adofu’s blind spot tackles him to the ground .
Adofu swiftly recovers and takes on a defensive posture . The surrounding red ants are glaring at him while readying themselves .
”[[Decoy]]”
When Adofu chants the magic skill, a red ant that is just about to leap at me suddenly stops in its tracks .
