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 upmMy dear queen it seems the day of your Vengeance will not be that long.It has been more than a month since I dominated the ants. During that time a lot of changes have occurred in the ants nest.Because of the "king of the ant title" I am now able to do a lot of things with the ants. Things like communicating with them,Share my senses and skill with them,I can summon them and also teleport to wherever they are. The most important factor I am satisfied with is their evolution.The worker ants evolved and are now able to stand on two legs. The evolved form is referred to as "gentry". The four gentry that were guarding the nucleus meaning the standing ants evolved to "Marshal"..While the last gentry that acted as the leader evolved to a "phylum".For the worker ants the changes they had after undergoing evolutionIs becoming bigger, being able to stand on two legs, Increased strength, stamina, speed and intelligence.While for the four gentry now have exoskeleton like appearance.Unlike before that their body could be easily damaged with just a punc
In the Sabira mountain lies a Dungeon. This dungeon is home to high level monsters and the adventurers call it the death dungeon. Adventurers below A rank are not authorized to go in and even the A rank adventurers are largely advised to go with a party.To make everyone understand the threat and dangers this dungeon posed to adventures at large they ranked it S, They also placed a huge signboard at the entrance signifying danger. The Rank And Threat LevelF-E= 10/99D-C= 100/999B= 1,000/9,999A= 10,000/99,999S-SS-SSS= 100,000In a place like that a historic moment is taking place, A being shaped like a human covered in white exoskeleton, the shoulder down to the elbow is painted red and the wrist also red, the head shaped like oval emitting red mist from its eyes, at the side of its body is four horizontal red stripes starting at the armpit sides and ending at the waist.This mysterious being walks through the dungeon's entrance with elegance and not a hint of fear in his eyes,
"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "It is an empty space filled with utter silence"there were no sign's of building or people and the atmosphere continued to grow heavyThe glistening of the Sun could not be seen and the arrays of the moon vanished leaving inyl the shadows to roam. In the midst of the emptiness is a robust man with a luxurious pajamas. This man ran for his dear life,He had no idea of where he was or where he was heading to but he knew he had to run. Even though it was too dark to see anything he could still feel it, The overwhelming presence that was tailing him with every step he takes and so he ran as far as his legs could take him. Eventually his robust body gave out as he fell down on his face, A hand large enough to grab his whole body stretched out of the darkness and the man screamed as loud as he could before waking up.He woke up from his bed with deep gasp, He could feel his body sweating profusely and his heart on the verge of collapse. Zarek surveyed his surroun
It is a fine morning but not being able to savour the nights unconsciousness is frustrating. Laying in the comfy bed I closed my eyes through dawn hoping I would fall asleep in my newly acquired mansion,The result however was the same as when I was in the ant's colony.I stood up to go to the side of the window,Getting there I basked in the sun as I view my fief from out the window. This past few days have been really fulfilling I thought. After recruiting the insects and the sub insectsinto the colony (the spider family and the Bee family), I gave the two queen names like Mia and Luna.With the both of them joining our ranks the colony's power has increased threefold and so I made them a part of the executive's so thanks for their willful enlistment. The Taratect queen is in charge of producing silk with her webs,Even though the colony does not need clothes, I plan on importing it to Edevin the city I inherited from Count Zarek. The Queen Bee is in charge of producing honey
Bellrath forest,A wide woodland is the dwelling place for the elves. For centuries intruders have come seeking the resources the Bellrath forest has to offer but they have all been purged away by the elves. With their life longevity their traditions and culture have been well maintained and preserved.The elves are known for their exceptional weapon proficiency amongst all the other race.Legend also has it that the first queen of the elves was one of the three gods of creation signified by her emarald green eyes,That is why the royals who her the direct descendants of the queen also have green emarald eyes.The elven royals have a very large mana pool especially the queen,Before the reign of the current emperor the elven queen and the beast king were considered the most powerful and domineering in the southern continent.The abilities the elven royals inherited from the first queen are,The emarald eyes,The effect of the emarald eyes is perfect illusion, an ability that places a
This is a serious dilemma,I knew the other Lord's would be dissatisfied with my appointment but them declaring war was out of my calculations,I have been too affected by the norms of earth that I forgot this is not earth,War is a normal occurrence here,Survival of the fittest is what reigns. If I had to best describe this world I would call it a jungle where physical prowess reigns the highest. When I was summoned it was in a pool of blood and I had decayed bodies close to me. That is what the norms of this world is. "Damn it"!!!! In a rush to take over Edevin I forgot about what the other Lord's are capable of. Sending Acestes to wipe them out would be declaring to the world that I am not normal and I do not want that,All the cards are not ready yet, Going against my target in my current state would lead to a bad ending for me. [Everett is there any lord that would be willing to form an alliance with me] [ none that I can think of my lord, your background will most defin
Four days after leaving their various city,The Lord's army arrived at a valley of a day walk to Edevin. In there they set up their camp to strategize their method of attack.At the biggest tent sits the three Count's in a circled formation with Dian Vosloo chosen to be the acting leader of the expenditure. [when do you all propose we attack] [ is there even a need to discuss such things, as we all know the city right now is defenseless against our numbers] [Zareks neglection towards the army has made most of them quit and there is no knights, I am sure the people in the city will end up opening the city gates for us as anyone with good view can see this is a hopeless fight] [ alright then at daybreak tomorrow we will take over Edevin] [so how do we split the spoils] [we will settle that after we take it over]. After talking to the guild master he promised to help persuade the adventurers to volunteer but he did say that the entire decision still rests on them.I gave him a bou
The flame hands that were at the back of the Fire Spirit King launched at Ophel while still in midair,Ophel casted ice pillar and ice grew from the ground upon where Ophel was in midair blocking the flame hands, Ophel then casted ice lance and from Ophel's front a gigantic ice in a lance shape came out and headed straight for the fire king,The fire king seeing this stretched out his right hand and used it to ward of the Lance, Upon making impact with the ice lance fire came out of the Fire king's right hand and vaporized the ice. After Ophel had sent the ice lance towards the fire king he descend to the ground then had his two legs in a sprinting position pushing Ophel forward,The space made sounds of cracking as Ophel pushed himself forward with a never seen before like speed, Ophel came out of the smoke caused by the vaporizing ice and set his fist against the fire king,But the fire king dodged it with his left hand.A series of hand to hand exchange occurred between the both
