Intruder

After leaving the capital city I came across two other cities and the sight was the same as that of the capital. 

It seems the Conrad Empire spared no one in the Arian kingdom.

It was a complete massacre which goes to show the kind of nation am going up against.

I plan to make use of the knowledge I harvested in the library as my root of getting Vengeance. 

I know the empire control the southern continent so fighting against them is like having to go up against the whole continent.

To even the numbers I am going to need to raise an army of my own. 

Demon and Spirit summoning takes a lot of mana so I might not be able to summon a lot of them. 

Making it not that reliable in a war. 

Although I really do not know how strong the Summoned creatures will be but I do not want to take any fatal risks.

Using human army is also out of the question unless they want to meet the same fate as the Arian kingdom. 

My only option is allaying myself with a different race. 

To do that I will have to reveal what my race is. 

The Emperor has tight control over everything. 

They wouldn't want to risk all allaying themselves with me with the possibility that it could be a trap set by the Emperor. 

But will they really take it well. 

I don't know the logic of this world but I am pretty sure demons do not belong in the common sense. 

In the myths on earth demons have always symbolized temptation and negativity.

"Sigh"

I sure have a rough journey ahead of me. 

I kept walking along a pathway that led to somewhere "I think".

Thinking of how to gain allies on my journey of Vengeance. 

"!!!!???" 

Just now I definitely felt the presence of another species coming from the left side of the pathway with my universal perception. 

It came as a surprise to me as the two cities I had passed through earlier had no life except for the crow's.

My curiosity got the better of me as I followed the presence leading to a forest. 

Inside of the forest Is a tunnel wide enough for a human child to crawl in. 

I initially thought it was a beast or something I never expected to see a tunnel of all things.

I wonder if it was an escape route dugout by the villagers but it seems too small for any adult to fit in as it was a child sized tunnel. Since speculations would not get me anywhere I crawled into the tunnel to check it out.

It is a very narrow hole at first but the deeper i went in the wider it kept going until I could eventually stand up on my feet.

This tunnel is unlike any i had ever seen. 

Inside of it did not feel like something a human dug because cause In front of me is another tunnel not just one but about ten of them like the ones made by ants when gathering food.

I concentrated my senses on the tunnels and felt a massive wave of mana coming from a particular tunnel. 

Then I chose it as my route.

While moving through the tunnel I thought to myself when did I become this bold. 

If it was the former me I would have been terrified to walk this dark silent and scary looking path alone. 

But now it's like all my human senses have been shut down. 

Fear, anxiety, hope, pity. 

I feel none of what once makes me a human.

Thinking this thought I spotted a giant ant coming from the other end of the tunnel. 

It dashed at me but I easily caught it with my bare hand and I split its head apart. 

Just then a swarm of them came charging at me.

But rather than stepping back I ran towards them as I punched them down with my fist one by one. 

They fell but more of them just kept coming trying to get through to me and none succeeded. 

My senses sharper than ever without even looking I was able to punch through those that were aiming at my back but this did not stop the rest from trying again. 

It was a repetitive move the more they kept coming the more I push my way through and this went on until I got to the end of the tunnel.

It is an open space and the ants that occupied it where in the thousands. 

There were even winged ants amongst them and at the very end of this ant army is a large nucleus with strings attached to it from different sides. 

In front were five ants as well but this ants differed from the rest in that they stood on two legs rather than six. 

It was obvious without being told that they were the strongest of the ants. 

And seeing as how they all seemed to not move away from the nucleus after all the commotion is I caused hints to me how important it is. 

The ants at the forefront all rushed at me but it was futile they stood absolutely no chance against me. 

Not being able to just stand and watch any longer one of the standing ants jumped right at me with the legs out. 

I slightly moved my right leg to the back of my left leg evading the incoming ant. 

Then I grabbed the ant's stretched out leg and swung it before letting go. 

The ant crashed against the wall and passed out. 

The standing ants all swung their four claws at me but i evaded them with precise movements. 

Not wasting any chances I punched the first ant in its gut causing it to fall on its knees. 

For the second ant I kicked it at the side of the stomach sending it flying. 

The third ant was a kick to the knee shattering his/her legs. 

The fourth ant dashed at me but I jumped right to its face grabbing the head and gave him/her a knee strike to the jaw. 

 And just like that the five strongest all down. 

I did not stop my momentum there and ran past the lower ants.

As I head straight for the nucleus.

Getting there I touched it and instantly I felt this sudden rush within me. 

The nucleus life force was seeping into my body. 

Like I was gaining something. 

I checked my status to confirm and to my surprise I had gained two new skills and one title. 

(Parallel Existence & ability share). 

(King of the Ants). 

I gained this OP skills just from consuming the nucleus. 

Now I see why the ants so persistently protected it. 

Talking about the ants. 

They are currently bowing their heads to me.

Including the standing ants as well. 

It must be because of the King of the Ants effect.

Honestly this might actually be a good opportunity for me.

I was looking for who to ally myself with to begin with and now I have a whole ant army bowing to me, this can only mean one thing.

Even though they are currently weak right now i just have to train them to become stronger.

Just thinking of the endless possibilities of how strong they can become gets me all hyped upm

My dear queen it seems the day of your Vengeance will not be that long.
