In the dungeon swarming with ants of all kinds numbered in trillions, with more of them joining the ranks as seconds passed by, this dungeon was becoming more and more of a threat to the very existence of not just the Venture city but the very existence of humanity.The queen of all ants, Queen Wiggles, was currently crunching on wafers and looked to be in bliss.“Mm… these are the best things I’ve eaten in a while,” Wiggles looked at the captain ant that brought her a single packet of wafers. “What are these things called?”“Wafter, Your Majesty,” the captain ant kept his head and antennae lowered.“Water… it’s crispy, sweet, and easily melts in your mouth,” Wiggles was drooling. “I think I can eat a mountain of these. Why did you bring only one of these?”“The guy that entered the dungeon had only one of these in his bag,” the captain ant replied.“Oh, I thought you managed to leave the dungeon and then come back inside,” Wiggles said. “But some fool entered the dungeon, huh. Did you
Outside the forever S-rank dungeon where the Battle Ants were present, Wise Servant and Sweet Beggar stopped playing chess and started drinking a strong tea made out of boiling many potent green herbs.And both of them felt energized and relaxed right now as they sat laid back in their chairs.Wise Servant lost in chess once again. She had been trying to win just one game of chess against him for so long. She grew experienced enough to be easily called a grandmaster of chess, but still, she was not able to win against Sweet Beggar just one more time. All she wanted was for him to forgive her and say ‘I love you’ just once more.Both of them had long crossed 100 years of age. So, they weren’t thinking of sex or anything like that. They were purely thinking about each other’s souls.Wise Servant had already beaten him 999,999 times, but she really wanted to win another game; however, Sweet Beggar didn’t make it any easier for her. He remained ruthless all the time so that she couldn’t e
General Aero of the Battle Ants leaped toward the two old timers and used his jelly-like body to set himself on fire, causing a nasty explosion that covered almost a hundred feet in every direction.It was so hot the ground cracked and the metal melted.Aero used this opportunity to fly away fast. Some automated machine guns recognized this intruder and shot at it, but Aero was able to easily slip past the bullets and flew away into the distance, covering a mile per second.Wise Servant and Sweet Beggar stepped out of the explosion, and Wise Servant sucked in the explosion and contained it in her single hand and squashed it into nothing. The compressed flames no longer existed as a candle light would turn off.“Are you going to go after that thing, or do you want me to go instead?” she asked him.“You’re the wiser one,” Sweet Beggar picked his teeth. “So you should go, since you decided to let that little ant go.”“I thought he might lead us to the one that escaped last time,” she rep
Aero’s attack was deadly enough to easily kill a group of individuals without them even realizing what happened.The table where Myles and others were sitting was utterly destroyed.However, nobody was harmed because Myles had warped them a few meters away at the last moment. The only being he didn’t warp was Dusty.Dusty took the attack head on and was injured just a little. “This is…” he didn’t take more than a second to understand who it was. “Don’t say anything and just run away!” he shouted in ant language.“What nonsense are you talking about!” Aero attacked him with his spear-like limbs. “Her Majesty trusted you and sent you on a mission, but here you are, eating sugary things!”“You idiot! I didn't have any other choice!” Dusty defended himself. “I was forced to work for these humans!”“Shame on you! How can you work for humans?” Aero grew all the more aggressive. “You surely deserve to die!”“Who is that bastard?” Sercy asked angrily because part of the cafe was destroyed by
The world called me the strongest being, but all my strength and wisdom couldn’t see one dagger coming: a dagger held by my beloved wife. The one person I trusted in the world and believed would have my back till the end... betrayed me to bring about my end with her own hands. As she dug the dagger deeper into my heart, I pathetically fell to my knees, as though I was admitting my mistakes. To make my soul hurt more, my head soon touched her feet. “Oh my-sweeting, Myles,” she pitied, her fingers touching her mouth. “Even in death, you try to lick my feet. You really are such a feet-person.” Yeah, I liked clean feet. And I licked my wife’s feet many times, but now, her words made me regret all those times I thought I was making love with her, thinking she loved me back the same. Now, I realized that I hankered after her like a moth seeking flames. “Myles, you are so strong yet so dumb,” her mother’s sneering voice stung my dullening ears. “You’ve saved the world, but you can’t even
At the mage headquarters, a skyscraper kissing the clouds, on the 450th floor.“Sir, the automatic missile didn’t hit the target and fell in the sea, but the explosion seems to have annoyed some beasts. We’ve identified a C-rank threat, Gale Shark, approaching the eastern shore!” one of the hundreds of guys working on that floor yelled while staring at a projection that showed the shark speeding toward the shore. “It’s not something the border guards can take care of. Should I send a Confronter?”“Wait… Did you say Gale Shark? If we can extract its blood even once, we can make millions out of it!” the officer in blue ordered. “Send a Beta Squad to bring it alive if possible.”“Yes, sir.”[Dispatching a Beta Squad to the Eastern Shore.][Requesting all of our subscribers to come on live if you want to witness our Adept Beta Rabbit Squad fight a C-rank monster real-time.]At the shore, Myles was sitting on the edge of a broken building, as cold winds whipped at his face. He could hear t
“Heal.”A word from Myles’ mouth cast the sickness in the man’s body away all the way. His limbs went back to how they were before, and his strength was restored.In shock, he stood. And in unbridled happiness, he jumped and hugged Myles and cried and shed tears cooked with warmth and gratefulness.The guards who witnessed this were left speechless for a good few seconds.“H-He healed the Black Doll disease just like that?”“Only top mages can possibly heal such a serious disease, not to mention it’s in a late stage.”“He must be an alpha mage from another city.”No matter how many times they rubbed their eyes, the scene before them stayed the same. Their once fellow guard who had fallen sick now looked so healthy and energetic he could go for a wrestling match. It was a miracle. No. It was something much more than that. It was beyond words.“I’m Justin. Justin Alves,” the once sick man introduced himself, wiping his tears away. “May I know my savior’s name?”“Myles Mertzel, and I’m n
“I don’t think so,” the guard pulled the trigger without a second thought.Justin slapped the guard’s wrist, and the spiraling air bullet went scraping past Myles’ ear while he stood unfazed, without even blinking. The air bullet struck the sand and left a hole in the ground, lifting up a lot of sand particles in the process. Myles slightly scratched his chin.“What the hell, Justin?” the guard furiously glared at Justin. “Why did you touch me before you got the clearance certificate? Do you want to die?”“I’m sorry,” Justin lowered his head and quickly apologized. He was no longer a border guard but someone with authority lower than a citizen until he was given clearance of being free from the blacklisted diseases.“You think your half-assed apology would cut it? You also interfered in a guard’s actions!” He pointed his gun at Justin. “If you want to die so badly, I’ll grant your wish for not knowing your place.”He pulled the trigger, but the air bullet blasted inside the gun and de
