[Ugh… !!]

    A group of ants collapsed with a terrible death.

    Compared to the fact that he was vomiting blood and collapsing, his appearance was more intact than expected, because Wu’s attack went beyond his exoskeleton and crushed his internal organs.

    Thanks to this, the body was recovered in the inventory with the exoskeleton intact, let alone the inside.

    Their bodies will sell for a lot of money.

    Chungin’s exoskeleton is harder than most steel and has high resistance to properties other than fire and ice, so it is sold at a high price.

    Although I didn’t really have any trouble with money, I felt quite satisfied with the fact that I had received an expensive item.

    “… It’s a little disappointing.”

    “What do you mean?”

    While I was recovering the body, I suddenly heard a voice from behind me.

    When I glanced back, I saw that Wu was clenching and unclenching his fists and tasting his food.

    “After defeating the enemy so easily, my hands got a little itchy. When I think about it, I haven’t had a proper battle since I got out of that prison.”

    “Feeling a warrior’s blood boiling?”

    “I’m embarrassed to say it out loud, but honestly, it is.”

    I would like to grant Wu’s wish to have a proper battle, but finding such an opponent was not easy.

    In fact, the ant mob we are dealing with now is a level 40 powerful monster.

    The hard exoskeleton easily deflected things like the sword of an A-class adventurer.

    Armor made of steel had no meaning in the face of transcendental strength that inherited that of ants.

    Moreover, because they move in a coordinated manner like bees and are highly intelligent, they never fall into crude traps.

    If these guys appear in the city center, a catastrophe will be unavoidable unless at least Fiona or the academy’s dean step forward.

    “In order for Woo to have a satisfactory fight, I think he needs to bring at least a dinosaur.”

    “I heard about it through rumors.”

    “Did you? What is this rumor?”

    The rumor that Wu had heard was that the dinosaur was a huge fire-breathing monster, so large that it made the earth shake loudly every time it took a step.

    After hearing a rumor that a tribe was taming dinosaurs to trample on their enemies, they tried to add Udo dinosaurs to their army.

    “But even finding it wasn’t easy. It was more difficult to find a wizard who could tame them.”

    “I guess so. Because it’s not a monster that anyone can tame. There happens to be a dinosaur in this forest.”

    “… I guess so.”

    Upon hearing that there were dinosaurs, Wu raised the corners of his mouth as if he was excited.

    Apparently, after conquering the dungeon inside her, the next target has been decided.

    Since I also wanted to tame dinosaurs, I had no reason to object.

    “Wow, did you know that there are many types of dinosaurs?”

    “I don’t know. What are some examples?”

    “Some dinosaurs have incredibly long necks that can easily go over ten meters, and some dinosaurs have foreheads shaped like eggs, making them look bald!”

    “Felt, no matter how many times I say I have never seen a dinosaur, that is an exaggeration.”

    “It’s true.”

    While we were talking, we suddenly stopped at the sound of wings flapping from afar.

    The sound was coming from the other side of the passage, in the darkness, where the light did not reach.

    He asked me, lowering his crying stance in the front line.

    “Felt. Did you hear it too?”

    “Yes.”

    I guess it wasn’t my mistake.

    When I looked across the bottom of the Sea to the Earth Spirit, it seemed that the end of this passage was a large cavity.

    There were many loyalists gathered beyond, but the exact number was unknown.

    One thing was certain: poisonous loyalists were waiting for us.

    “Wow, you said you wanted to have a proper fight, right?”

    “That’s right.”

    “Then this time, let’s just attack without thinking about strategies or anything like that?”

    The important thing is not efficiency, but enjoyment.

    Of course, if you just charge in without planning a strategy, the gap between you and the ant soldiers will not be reduced to a meaningful level.

    However, when I suggested it as a way to kill some time, he smiled and asked me in a worried tone.

    “What will you do when you run out of money?”

    “I can protect my body, so don’t worry. Because if things happen, there will be resurrection.”

    “… Is it really okay if I do this?”

    “It’s okay! Now, do whatever you want! Show those bugs what kind of friend you are!”

    “… If I go that far, I have no choice but to show my sincerity.”

    The will to fight begins to burn in her eyes.

    Like an athlete, Wu put his hands on the ground and lifted his lower body, kicking the ground and throwing himself into the cavity.

    The force was so great that the ground that the earth spirit had solidified cracked and began to collapse.

    “Oh my.”

    I immediately activated my flight magic, levitated myself in the air, and followed Wu into the cavity.

    As we entered the cavity, the first thing we saw was not an ant insect, but a praying mantis insect with two arms and sharp front legs like sickles.

    The mantis insects that flew upward just in time, perhaps planning to target Wu in the air, spotted me and rushed towards me with strange screams.

    Perhaps they are the masters of the sound of wings flapping.

    “Summon intermediate spirits.”

    Immediately summon the wind spirit.

    When I commanded the spirit to create a whirlwind, the mantises could not approach me and were only swept around by the whirlwind.

    This sealed their attack, but this attack did not cause any damage to them.

    Chungin’s exoskeleton was strong in all attributes except fire and ice, and wind was also included among them.

    Even wings that seem weak at first glance boast considerable strength and flexibility.

    A mid-level spirit’s wind can’t even make a dent.

    “Spirit Fire.”

    In that case, all you have to do is add other attributes to attack the weak points.

    The condensed spirit flame that rose from the hand traveled along the air current and dyed the whirlpool red.

    The strong wind made the flame burn more fiercely, and the flame, which grew in size due to the increased power of the wind, burned the body of the mantis caught in the whirlwind.

    After confirming that the mantis had turned to ashes, I looked at the ground as I looked away from the whirlwind.

    “Thunderhorn.”

    When I looked down, I saw that Woo’s leg was striking at lightning speed, crushing the head of the last ant soldier.

    The exoskeletons of the ant soldiers were exploding with a loud noise like a mountain collapsing.

    Normally, loyalists can move for a while even if their head disappears, but the aftereffects of Wu’s attack did not stop at the head but went down to the chest and cut the enemy in two.

    Since the head and chest were destroyed all at once, there was no way that even a warrior full of vitality would be able to withstand it.

    “That’s amazing. If we had fought properly back then, I would have been lying there too.”

    “And then it happened again. Anyway, these guys are no good at hitting.”

    Wu glanced at the loyalists lying on the ground with their upper bodies missing, and immediately looked away.

    I had a feeling that Woo would win, but honestly, I didn’t expect the difference to be this big.

    I thought it would be burdensome to destroy the Udo exoskeleton with bare hands since I was using a penetrator, but that wasn’t the case.

    This was done simply for efficiency, but if one had wanted to, he could have destroyed it with his bare hands.

    “You said there was a queen of these guys down here, right?”

    “Yes, there will be elite soldiers and large monsters.”

    “I see, I’m a little excited about those guys.”

    Her purple eyes glowed quietly as she looked underground.

    *****

    “… Her Majesty the Queen.”

    “Did it happen again?”

    As the messenger nodded with a sad expression in response to the queen’s question, a cold silence filled the room.

    How many times has this been the first time we’ve heard that soldiers who went on a mission with great enthusiasm have died?

    It wasn’t uncommon for someone to break into the dungeon.

    It was one of the things that could happen at any time for a high-ranking predator to sense the presence of a lost animal or a weak person and enter the dungeon.

    Antee, the queen of ants, has reacted wisely whenever this happens.

    Taking advantage of the characteristics of ants, the dungeon was built with a structure that makes it easy to intercept intruders.

    Even if it was a different race, they were willing to accept it if it gave them all.

    Therefore, when she first heard that humans had invaded the dungeon, she was somewhat caught off guard.

    There was no way his army, which had defeated monsters worse than that, could barely defeat two humans.

    With such confidence, they immediately sent soldiers to intercept them, but all that came back was the news that the soldiers were dead.

    They used the spirit of the earth to block a joint attack using the structure of the dungeon, and they had the power to easily defeat one or two ant soldiers.

    At this time, the queen did not know what move they used, but she realized once again that they were fully prepared to invade her kingdom.

    Quickly create a cavity and put pressure on the enemy.

    There were attempts to raid the area by releasing large demonic beasts into the narrow passage, but all efforts ended in vain.

    The intruders may have been unable to find the queen’s room, or were preparing for an attack from the rear, but they marched directly to the corner of the kingdom and annihilated the remaining troops.

    This was all accomplished in just one day.

    ‘I don’t know who they are, but they are crazy… .’

    When the queen heard the news, for the first time she felt fear of the intruder.

    And with the thought that at least one more of the people should be saved, she gathered all the people into the queen’s room.

    “The enemy is strong. But there is nothing to be afraid of!!”

    No strong person can defeat the majority.

    The queen’s cubicle was several times larger than the hastily constructed cavity.

    If they attacked at once in a space like this, they would definitely have a chance of winning.

    “We will definitely win!! Our kingdom from the hands of barbaric invaders――!!”

    “Your Majesty!!!”

    A familiar voice comes from the other side of the door.

    It was clear that it was in front of the door, but the words did not make sense until the end and persisted halfway through.

    When everyone was tense in the ominous silence and waiting for the messenger to come in… .

    Through the slowly opened door, blue eyes that did not want any light in the darkness began to shine with an eerie light and began to speak in a quiet voice.

    “Invaders have invaded.”
