Chapter 188 (2/2)

MP: 32/71

….From their status, it’s a rookie red ant and the red ant captain? No, I need to shake off these unnecessary thoughts. If my feelings waver, I might be killed.

They are aiming for a simultaneous attack in this collapsing pa.s.sage. In that regard, they have the bigger advantage.

“Kucha!” “Kuchaa!”

The rookie red ant and ant captain fire off [[Clay Gun]]. My sight will be blocked if I guard with my wings. But if I rotate my tail to the front then my posture would collapse and I will slow down.

So will I have to receive the attacks head-on? Dammit, so in other words I will be pierced. Aside from the rookie ant, the captain’s [[Clay Gun]] is going to sting.

It’s impossible to receive that so nonchalantly.

“Pefu!”

[Wings to defend!]

You being serious? Once my sight is blocked they will jump and

jump and attack during that gap. The ant captain has considerable speed, will you be able to handle it in your current state?

No, I will believe in the ball rabbit here. The ball rabbit is reading my thoughts. Even after they were read, I was still told to guard with my wings.

I cover my front with my wings to block off the clay gun attacks. Oof! It was a strong hit, I took quite a bit of damage from that, I thought that it was going to penetrate. This will hurt a little when I’m flying. But it will be cured anyway after I evolve, so it doesn’t mean much.

”Pefu!”

[Large one jumped! Moving at the sides of wings, aiming for right shoulder! The other is going for left foot!]

Oh! Thank you very much. It seems that [[Telepathy]] is being used to read their attacks. With this, you won’t even need to doubt whether there will be a feint or not.

I know the position of the rookie ant by sound. Well, more like its purposely moving so that it can make noise. Probably to make the ant captain’s movements difficult to hear so that I will let my guard down.

In short, it’s a decoy. Being the rookie ant, you may get the worst of the attack.

I kick off the ground with my left foot and jump. The rookie ant’s pincers just graze me. Did you overdo it?

I lower my head and lean

head and lean forward to avoid hitting the ceiling. I then turn my wings back and wind up my right shoulder.

“Kucha!?”

The ant captain launches its attack and hits nothing but air. I thrust out the arm I pulled in and pierce the head of the ant captain with my claw. I throw it against the wall and tackle it with all my speed and weight. When I pull out my claws, the ant captain dropped to the ground, landing on its back.

[544 experience points obtained.] [t.i.tle skill [[Walking Egg: Lv–]] activated, 544 bonus points obtained.] [Lv of [[Evil plague Dragon]] increased from 69 to 70.]

….Now, just five more?

“Kuchaaaaa!”

The rookie ant cries out, chasing after my back. I send a [[Kamaitachi]] at the ceiling over the rookie red ant. A lump of red sand came down, s.h.i.+elding me from the rookie red ant.

I thought I heard a snap on the other side. And finally, the collapsing aisle stopped.

[273 experience points obtained.] [t.i.tle Skill [[Walking Egg: Lv–]] activated, 273 bonus points obtained.]

….Somehow, I was left with a bad taste in my mouth, but at least I got out of that predicament for the time being. With a complicated feeling I turn to face to front.

“Kucha!” “Kucha!”

“Kucha!” “Kucha!” “Kucha!”

The amount of red ants that were able to safely escape the collapsing pa.s.sage number about twenty? With this amount, I should be able to gather enough experience points for evolution. The goal is finally in view.
