54 虫の恐怖１ (1/2)
”What the hell is this?
There was a mountain of corpses... no matter how you counted, it wasn't a hundred or two hundred, it was a giant black ant over 60cm long, commonly known as the ”Kuro Devil”. The material is quite popular among infantry and adventurers due to its hardness and lightness, and is mainly used for light armor.
”They're still coming out, so be careful around them. Watch your back.
The one wielding it is the Morning Star of old. At first, he swung his sword blade down between the head, chest and stomach to avoid damaging the material, but when he saw that the insects were still moving even with their heads and stomachs torn to shreds due to their unique vitality, he shifted to brute force since there were so many of them anyway.
In the first place, swords are difficult to penetrate the hard shell and there are an inordinate number of them, so in general, they are very dangerous monsters.
”Yeah! That's right!
In front of the Morning Star that was swung with such a call, the light body of the ant was blown away while shattering the place where it was hit. Without knowing that it attracts ants, ....
I'm not sure how many ants there are in the world, but no matter how many I kill, I can't seem to get rid of them.
That's probably true... since the pheromones that they secrete in large quantities when they enter a fight due to their excessive attacks are spread throughout the air.
Depending on the species, there are generally several thousand to several tens of thousands of ants living in a single nest. These ants are not so many because of their size, but still there are about 600 of them building an empire underground.
Let's run! Let's run!
Adelina is already pale and out of breath as she carefully kills the ants one by one, almost in tears.
I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to try to be patient. I'll be back.
As soon as the foothold became uncomfortable, he collected a few ants in the item box, but there were still enough dead ants lying around to make a small pile. Masaru decided to aim at one of the piles and jumped headfirst into it, and at the same time, the dead ants he touched disappeared one by one into the item box. He repeated the process several times, collecting about half of the ants, and then carried Adelina, who was fighting, as if to kidnap her from the side.
You just dropped your mace! You dropped your mace!
”I'll get you another one, just give up! You want to go back to the ants?
”I don't want to... get the hell out of here. ....
Fifteen minutes of running later, we were a long way from the place where we had fought the ants, so we decided to take a break. I'm not sure what to do.
I'm sure you'll be able to find something to help you out. What the hell?
”What the hell? Why are you fighting and running so hard and not even breathing? ....
You need to rest... your legs are shaking. Your legs are shaking.
