Kazuma and Zoukar stood before the ants as firmly as they could. It was challenging for the tiny creature Kazuma inhabited to stay composed before the intimidating aura and killing intent leaked by the queen ant and her royal guards. That was one hell of a threat. The ants daunted him with only their presence.

Kazuma swallowed and sweat profusely while Zoukar giggled slightly. He concentrated mana around him and focused on casting a spell. He invoked [Summon Undead] and a small army of undead soldiers conjured from the ground. They stood tall before the ants with dark mana shrouding their dead bodies.

Startled by the undead, the royal guards raised their sharp claw-like appendages toward the undead soldiers. They made some crackling noises and marked the undead soldiers as their targets. Two guards stood before the ant queen while another two stepped forward to face the undead soldiers.

Zoukar commanded the undead, "Go and remove the nasty pest from my eyes!" The undead soldiers marche

    While Kazuma and the three undead skeletons stood against the two guard ants, due to the intimidating presence around them, Kazuma shivered. He felt the severity of the circumstances he was surrounded by and how far he could go depended on his wits since he had no faith in Zoukar, not even a bit.As he sweated profusely from the intimidation, suddenly his brow twitched from some chanting behind him in a familiar voice. Kazuma swiveled around and confirmed the chants belonged to none other than Zoukar.Zoukar snorted and chanted some spell to invoke, "[Relentless Charge]." Kazuma sensed some dark energy or some dark mana shrouded around him and the skeleton knights beside him. Kazuma felt a sudden boost in his strength, agility, endurance, and vitality by a large amount. The skeleton knights beside him also had the same mana shrouding them.Kazuma understood from the concentration of mana that this spell was about the same level as the spell Zoukar used to summon the skeleton knights.

    Although Kazuma had a certain amount of faith in Zoukar and his magic abilities, he still had to fight his way through the fight between the two guard ants and the three skeleton knights trapped in the ant formation. Kazuma believed Zoukar would help them after this fight since he had already commanded these four to fight this one out by themselves.From Zoukar's tone, Kazuma could figure out his head approximately. Zoukar wasn't one with a stable mentality. However, his main traits could be described within a few words; insane and cruel! That would be his command if he decides on a certain thing. At least until he completes this one. He would never move forward.Kazuma noticed these personality characteristics in Zoukar during his stay with him throughout the dungeon. Kazuma encountered the most uncertain and crazy personality throughout his whole life. In fact, Zoukar was named MAD as a nickname for this precise trait of his.Since it was clear that Kazuma had to fight these two guar

    Kazuma hovered towards the injured guard ants while glancing at the undead skeleton knights to take another note of their restrained durability. From his observation, his allies, the so-called undead knights that Zoukar summoned, already lost most of their limbs and were shattered through and through.He realized they wouldn't be able to hold the ants any more than they did already. From these facts, Kazuma had to slay the ants before the undead get massacred gradually by the continuous strikes of the ants. Fortunately, he noticed the pierced spot on the ant's exoskeleton and took advantage of it.Kazuma gathered mana around him, and thanks to the boost Zoukar provided, his capacity to enhance his spell increased manyfold. He used [Fireball] while aiming at the ants' exposed spots because the tough exoskeleton could withstand the fire, but the soft exposed areas could easily incinerate.Flames appear in his mouth, and Kazuma notices the enhanced intensity of the magic. Normally, this s

    When Zoukar invoked his magic while concentrating the undead mana around the charred guard ant corpses, suddenly some dark aura shrouded the carcasses. It reanimates and enthralls the corpses into standing again as slaves.Powered by the undead's mana, those beings seem stronger than their live counterparts. Kazuma could only observe with wide eyes and his jaw dropped from afar since they intimidated him more than before.He pondered with a wet brow, "The fuck is this magic! Those ants appear more robust and fierce than before, but their appearance has been compromised. They look like shit, but I guess this is the downside of being raised from death by an undead mage."After a momentary pause, Kazuma frowned and shuddered in panic, "Wait, does that mean I also have such poor looks? No, my body is something Zoukar considered divine, hence I should assume it's something better! I may get the chance to watch my figure before some reflecting surface, but this dark cave has nothing similar

    Kazuma kept his gaze as he observed Zoukar boasting about his skills and magic. Although Zoukar's pride was obvious since he smashed the sturdy royal guard ants into a terrible condition through their own kin.He didn't even grant them enough time to ponder whether to mourn for their dead kin or pity them for the unwanted resurrection into something ominous. Even so, they had to fight it out either way since their loyalty lies only with the queen, and her life matters the most.Gradually, the thralls prevailed over the royal guard ants with their continuous outrage and assault. They wrecked the ants and smashed them into bloody minced meat, then shredded them at the end.However, the guards still retaliated with their might before going down to their end. At least they struck back and wounded the thralls enough to last them a tough time against the queen later, which was the last of the living of their kin and their top priority.Kazuma once again witnessed the trembling those ants di

    Kazuma was dismayed and shook at the raw strength of the queen ant. A single swing of her limb shattered the thralls, who had enough strength and endurance to face the royal guard ants head-on in a face-off.This scene baffled and left Kazuma stunned while he hovered above Zoukar. He glanced at him to capture his reaction to this act that occurred against his powerful thralls. However, contrary to what he expected, he witnessed something entirely different.Zoukar had an inscrutable grin on his face as he watched his soldiers get smashed by the queen ant. He rubbed his chin and said in a slight voice, "Hmm, so she certainly had the strength to define her position in this dungeon. Her elegance and arrogance were backed by this strength; that must be why no one was ready to accept this quest!"Kazuma frowned and his brow twitched as he heard this specific statement from Zoukar. He got to know about the quest that Zoukar accepted from someone. Although Kazuma didn't know who and when Zou

    Zoukar smirked when he noticed his soldiers surrounding the queen ant. Her dismayed and disturbing behavior was exciting for him. He stumped his staff again on the floor and cast something that shrouded him in intense dark mana.Those dark shadows creeping and mixing over the flaming aura shrouding Zoukar seemed more daunting than before. His figure was astounding and intimidating to even his allies.Although he had only one living ally among his undead supporters, even Kazuma felt haunted by that fact. Watching Zoukar use more and more new spells along with his elemental stone, he felt a new world before him.He gazed at the full show without missing even a slight glance and also kept his distance from Zoukar, who was using more threatening spells that even had the capability to destroy his own loyal allies.When Zoukar cast the new spell around him, the queen ant became even more restless than before. She began throwing tantrums and lashed out at the undead surrounding her. She thre

    Kazuma shuddered at the scene before him. The flesh melting from the living queen ant could tremble anyone with a slight glance. Her screams shivered the small creature Kazuma inhabited since the view was torturous and horrific.His expressions become pale from the agony-filled noise resounding in the whole chamber. The chilled sweat trickled down his spine, and his whole body also became stunned while hovering above them.He glanced back at Zoukar to notice his reaction to the anguish the queen ant felt. According to his expectation, he witnessed Zoukar chuckling and being delighted by the suffering and torment the queen ant advertised.Not only that, but Zoukar ordered his leftover undead to resume their attack on the queen rather than backing off from the effect of the spell. He had no emotions regarding his soldiers or anything.Although the undead also took a toll due to the spell.

    Outer Divine Appearance!

    Kazuma directed the path to Zoukar towards the watery sound he heard a while ago. He hovered above the surface and flew all the way while concentrating on the sound ahead. The relieved expression on his face was evident since now Zoukar may think Kazuma was a worthwhile profit for him.Both of them marched forward while being cautious since they could sense some slight presence of someone around peering at them. Although none of them could feel any threat from this being, they still moved alarmed.After a few more steps, the fluid-moving sound enhanced and Kazuma's eyes widen from the picturesque scenario before his eyes. Nature's beauty captivated him since he witnessed such a scene after a long time surviving in the pitched black dungeon.There was a small water stream glittering on the surface due to sunshine falling and reflecting back from its crystal clear water. Kazuma had never seen such a water source in his life while living back on earth.This sort of clear water source cou

    Outer world?

    After a few more steps, Kazuma and Zoukar saw a bright gleam shining through a small hole. This light suddenly delighted them since it was certain that they had found the exit from this dungeon. Their never-ending night was about to reach its conclusion.Zoukar and Kazuma rushed to the exit and, at last, leaped out of the dungeon. The sudden gleam enshrouded their vision and almost made them blind since they spent a lot of time in darkness, and this sudden shine would strike their eyes.Kazuma scrunched his eyes and closed them to adjust his vision for these new surroundings. He even tried to shield his eyes with his arms, but to his disappointment, they were not big enough to support him.Even then, after a few moments, he opened his eyes and found them adapted to the flash before him. The moment his vision seemed crystal clear, he was astonished by the scene before him and even baffled to some extent.Kazuma found him and Zoukar in a green, dark forest with a thick canopy of leaves

    Way back!

    While Kazuma was escaping the dungeon along with Zoukar, he witnessed many corpses of ants lying around in a terrible state. Aside from the ones he scorched with his fireball, the rest were either smashed or mixed into minced meat.Such scenarios before Kazuma perplexed him. He could only imagine how Zoukar would've smashed so many ants by himself, given that he was capable of thrashing even the queen ant and her royal guards.It was obvious Zoukar did not need Kazuma to conquer this dungeon, but he only used the divine body he found in this dungeon to preserve his mana and decrease the time he may have to spend in this dungeon.Zoukar’s way of doing things was certain and most likely planned, even though he seemed like some deranged and frenetic person. He had one of the best mindsets and strategies in his head, backed up by many magical spells.From the time Kazuma spent with Zoukar, he realized this mage had enough to face any opponent, whether humongous in the constitution or huge

    Another Artifact

    Kazuma shifted his attention onto Zoukar to find whatever he was going to pull from his robe. The last time Zoukar shuffled a mess of his robe to reveal the elemental stone, hence the curiosity for another such artifact was intense.Kazuma concentrated on Zoukar’s actions and waited patiently, since last time it took him a long time to search for the elemental stone from his robe. To his surprise, Zoukar found his way very quickly this time.Zoukar chortled and exclaimed, "Haha! Now it's time for us to retreat from this fucking trashbin!" He took out a small pouch about the size of a pocket and chuckled. His expressions certainly pointed to that pouch as something special.Kazuma frowned and sighed with disappointment after a wide gaze at the pouch. He was eager to watch another amazing artifact, however, Zoukar advertised a small leather pouch that seemed somewhat worn out from continuous use.He pondered with a scowl, "What the hell? This bastard of a mage is displaying that worn an

    Dungeon Rewards!

    Kazuma swiveled around to search for the rewards, but there was nothing in sight before him. He was bewildered and dismayed at seeing nothing in his vision to be called rewards after conquering the dungeon.He was assuming the rewards would appear similar to games or comics he often used to play or read back on earth, and for this reason, he was eager to watch something similar appear before him in reality.However, there was nothing like that in his vision. More likely, it would be better to say the queen ant chamber was shrouded in an eerie silence after the douse of the flames on the queen ant. Only some slight giggles could be heard from Zoukar.When the confusion and rumblings in Kazuma’s head are heightened a lot, he then turns towards Zoukar for answers since only he can state where and how the reward would appear in the dungeon.Zoukar, on the other hand, was in his reverie beside the queen ant’s corpse, as if scrutinizing and analyzing it with precision. This baffled Kazuma e
