Chapter 14 – 14. Hidden Gate.

Feeling the vibration, I started running with Jeong Ha-ryun. The other two parties were also eagerly following our tail, as if they thought they had to move intuitively.

“Come back! Danger!!”

A voice actor or something from behind shouted.
They say things that are not worth hearing, such as saying that it is dangerous to ignore them and keep running, and that it is safe to go together.

‘What is a guy who can’t even keep up with?’

Even though the difference is only 5, who cares about whom in a situation where even Jeong Ha-ryun, who has lower abilities than me, is falling behind because he can’t catch up.

If he really cared about us, then it was really a futile fuss.

‘If that’s not the case, is there any other purpose?’

Either way, it was an emissary from this side.
I grabbed Jeong Ha-ryun’s hand and sped up a little more. The voice of Cheong Il-jeom gradually faded away, and after a while it completely disappeared.

It was then that I found a crossroads.
When I stopped for a moment and thought about which way to go, Jeong Ha-ryun, who was snooping on the right side of the road, said.

“Brother, what is the noise from this side?”

“What are you talking about?”

Tadadadak!

“Ha-ryun-ah, step back.”

All she heard was the sound of something approaching her.
As expected, the giant ants were rapidly approaching us. Her I lowered her stance and gave her a glance at her with her back.

A black magic bullet is fired.
At the same time, I also kick the ground.

Bang!!

With the explosion, the head of the giant ant in front flew away. I brightly jumped up on the limp ant’s corpse and slammed my sword down, completely crushing the other guy’s head.

Blank!!

Then, I flicked the chin of another guy who was approaching to remove the cap on my head. Immediately after, he rotates his body and cuts off his leg.

As if he didn’t feel any pain, he turned around and thrust his chin at me. But before that, Jeong Ha-ryun’s magic bullet hit him.

Bang!!

Giant Ant collapsed with a third of his torso blown away. But he isn’t dead yet. Even in that state, he was struggling to bite my leg.

Right! Fuck! Damn!!

This is a sight I’ve seen before.

I remembered.
It was when I went to test the Aggro Talisman.

There was a time when the Little Giant, whose upper and lower body was divided, tried to take a photo of the top of my foot with the Koopa Koopa Gear. Naturally, the little giant was in a frenzy due to the aggro amulet.

This giant ant must be the same.

Awesome!

‘Then this must be the answer.’

The vibration was felt earlier, so these guys were latecomers. Aggro was attracted, but it was a late life that could not join other ants due to the distance. So if these things go in the direction they came from, they will be able to enter the depths.

“Ha-ryun-ah, let’s go this way.”

I took a step forward, and it wasn’t long before I was able to confirm that my prediction was correct.

“This is…”

“It’s like a food storage facility.”

The place we arrived along the passage on the right was none other than the food storage. The food reservoir was the midpoint of the queen’s burrow and an indicator that she was on the right track.

“Uuuuu… Oppa, let’s get out quickly.”

If I was looking to see if there were any traces of other hunters passing by, Jung Ha-ryun approached with a disgusted expression and pushed my back.

Probably because of the corpses that form a small mountain on one side.

When we stopped searching for traces and went out to the other side of the passage, giant ants unaffected by the aggro amulet were waiting for us.

After defeating them lightly, the next place we arrived was the caterpillar room. According to the gate information, the next room was the queen ant’s room.

We roughly kicked the wriggling caterpillars and hurried our steps.

“Brother, there are soybean ants.”

“Soldier ant, Haryeon-ah.”

In front of the queen ant’s room that arrived, soldier ants were blocking the entrance and building the last line of defense.

‘Eight or more that can be seen. That’s too much.’

Somehow, I didn’t see any peeping noses while coming here, so it must have been gathered here from the beginning.

It got annoying

“But we do have Ha-ryun.”

“Yeah?”

“I will lure you this way and fight. I’ll focus on defense, so shoot the magic bullets as soon as they’re ready. And when I step back, you step back too. Understand?”

“Ah… You mean kiting?”

“Kiting?”

“That… One shot and bounce, then another shot and bounce.”

“Oh, that’s roughly correct. As always, shoot when ready.”

Jeong Ha-ryun, who nodded her head, immediately fired a magic bullet. One soldier ant collapsed as the explosion occurred.

Well, it was a natural result.

Even if the soldier ant’s head was strong enough to be incomparable to that of an ordinary ant, her magic bullets already possessed D-class or higher destructive power. It’s odd that she didn’t die.

Jeong Ha-ryun stepped back and I raised my sword.

All I had to do was hold out until she prepared her next magic bullet. Fortunately, thanks to the size of the aisle, there were only three that had to be dealt with at the same time, but the pressure itself was definitely different from that of normal ants.

There.

Caan!!

‘Tch, it’s not some kind of shield.’

The skeleton of her head was so hard that the attack didn’t work properly. It was a matter of weapons rather than abilities. It was unreasonable to pierce their skulls with the cheap longsword they were using.

“Brother!”

The only thing he could trust was Jeong Ha-ryun’s magic bullet.
As soon as she hears her voice, she quickly backs away. Her soldier ant slammed her jaw into the spot where I was a beat later. In the meantime, a flying magic bullet blew his head off.

Thud! Tuong!! Bang!!

“Whoa…”

“Haha…”

When we finally defeated all the soldier ants, we were already back in the caterpillar room. I approached Jeong Ha-ryun, who was breathing heavily.

“Haryeon-ah, are you okay?”

“…It’s tough, but it’s still worth it. I can still shoot three or four more rounds of mana…”

“That should be enough.”

“Thank god…”

Time was delayed because of the soldier ants.
Maybe other parties are right behind.

I couldn’t afford to take a break. I picked her up and headed back to the entrance of her queen ant chamber.

Bang!!

I blew away the soldier ants that were blocking the entrance like a mangbuseok and went into the room, finally revealing the queen ant in front of me. A ship so big and disgusting that it fills the room. And even the male ants guarding the surroundings as if escorting them.

‘Fuck, there’s no end.’

“Oh, brother.”

I didn’t show it, but I was also quite tired from dealing with the soldier ants. No one is in perfect condition. Dealing with dozens of male ants in such adverse conditions was suicidal.

‘Am I giving up here?’

It’s a waste, it’s a pity, but I couldn’t die here. The moment when you have no choice but to choose retreat.

“Finally caught up!”

A familiar voice came from behind. When I turned my head, there were familiar faces standing there.

“A harem party?”

“Didn’t I tell you that it was dangerous! From now on, we will take care of it!”

Fuck!

There was no way I could end up killing the dog like this.
I quickly took Jeong Ha-ryun to a safe corner, and in the meantime, the harem party started fighting with the male ants.

“Juna!”

“Goes!”

When Cheong Il-jeom called, a woman named Zuna raised her magic wand and fired a magical arrow. Although the power is weak, it was enough to keep the male ants in check.

“Yes Jin!”

This time, the real arrow flew at the male ant blocking the front of Cheongiljeom. I don’t know if it was coincidence or skill, but the arrow passed right through the male ant’s compound eye.

“It’s Sohee!”

Lastly, the beauty of the one-top harem party came out.
She swung her sword as if dancing. The male ants fell back, unable to withstand the knife.

Through that gap.
The blue point runs.

Towards the queen ant.

‘Fuck! No!’

I jumped into the battlefield to stop him somehow. Several ants blocked my way.

“Go away! Get out!”

Crush the head, slash the body, and cut the neck. Still, it wasn’t enough. I couldn’t stop it.

Cheong Il-jeom vigorously landed on the floor and flew up with all his might.

That moment.

Puck!!

“It’s big!?”

Even if you call him a hero, a male ant with a hat rammed into Cheong Il-jeom’s abdomen.

‘Fuck! Dog Nice! Terribly Nice! I’ll save you specially!’

As he bounced off and rolled on the floor, the male ants who had withdrawn started pressing the harem party again.

“It’s a voice actor!”

“I’m okay. But damn! Too many numbers!”

The sum of the harem party was pretty good, but it was just there. Fundamental strength was lacking. Except for Cheong Il-jeom, only Jung So-hee could kill male ants alone. Even that took a long time.

Kwajik!!

Whereas I didn’t. It was enough to kill the male ants alone and move on. Maybe that’s why, the cheongiljeom that found me came running with shining eyes.

“Clear the way! I’m coming!”

What kind of bullshit is this again?
Do you want me to clear your way for you?

Like a child with no conscience.

I kicked the side of the cheongiljeom that passed me so confidently.

“Cheuk! What, what are you doing?”

“Seo, voice actor! Why are you…!”

“Brother! Run!!”

Then I heard Jeong Ha-ryun’s voice.
A black magic bullet crosses the air.

Run along its trajectory.

Bang!!

The moment when a male ant trying to block the way is smashed by a magic bullet.

I jumped.
Height! To the place where the main body of the queen ant is!

“Search!!!”

Pooh!!

My sword pierced the queen ant’s head.
