Episode 10: Zhuyi Ants - Front -
"Where's Sylvia?"
I reached under the god tree. However, Sylvia's figure was not around.
"No way...."
I followed the trail of magic power and found myself climbing the God Tree.
I hung my legs on the trunk of the god tree and jumped upwards. Prevents you from falling by stepping on your next leg before it stalls.
A sprint of a few seconds. Faster than flying, you find Sylvia when you get to where the branches are.
There she is!
Sylvia was easy to find.
In the world of sunsets so strong that the god tree is dyed bright red, I look at the distance while being illuminated.
"What are you looking at...!?"
Immediately after I tried to look at the tip of my gaze, my mouth was blocked by my hand from behind.
When I moved my neck and looked behind me, there was Sylvia.
"Look at that."
Sylvia told me to look at the branches in the distance. Even if it is a branch, it is a branch of a giant god tree, so it is more than 10 meters wide even in narrow places.
The scaffolding is so sturdy that it has no earth or scarlet colour.
There was a figure standing in such a place.
"No, I'm not a person."
The body was bigger than humans and could not be cleared up by the word "giant".
Standing with two legs, holding arms on the left and right, they are no different from humans in shape, but obviously they are not human.
I turned to see such a presence.
"We've been recognized."
Yes.
At first, I was in eye contact with Sylvia. However, with my arrival, my consciousness was completely turned towards me.
The sun tilts over time, revealing itself.
The head was an insect... it was an ant itself, a monster in the shape of a person whose whole body was covered in bright red scales.
Is it a monster?
I couldn't help but think so.
Although the ant below had disappeared shortly after it had been defeated, it could feel the power of a monster that resembled its demonic aura.
Not only monsters, but all creatures could sense their magic power and aura.
However, I could not feel any magic power from the Zhui Ant in front of me. I was convinced that it was only weak, but if I couldn't feel it completely, it wasn't because I didn't have much magic power.
Is that also an ant?
"Are you following me?"
I turned my head to the voice I heard from below, and Miel was flying with her wings in desperation.
It was enough to have Aira downstairs. Even the best left by the fairy could afford to be free. And it would be helpful if the fairy could see it.
“Have you seen it before?”
I've never seen anything like it.
Miel has been through many battles with ants. If she hadn't seen anything like it, it's true that a human-type ant never showed up.
Does that mean it's special?
And perhaps it was my grandfather.
……
Zhui Ant and her eyes met.
I don't know how intelligent I am, but my eyes were directed at me in a faraway place.
My eyes have a clear vermilion color like a gemstone, and I feel like my eyes and eyes just meet and I get the illusion of being seen through my heart.
"What...?"
It's not just about being strong. It unleashed a spookiness that had never been encountered before.
How about Sylvia?
"... I think it's a monster"
What's the matter?
Her body was faintly trembling. I wasn't swallowed by fear, I was desperately trying to suppress it with reason.
I couldn't help but ask about the unusual atmosphere.
"My guess is appealing." It's really dangerous. "
I didn't feel it when I looked at it from a distance.
But by being next to me, Sylvia was able to turn her attention away from the ants.
I knew it.
Another reason why I can't feel the magic. It was a state where magic was completely contained by reason. However, there are more monsters whose instincts take precedence over reason, and the more powerful monsters tend to show off their power, so they don't try to hide their power.
That's why.....
"Kiiiiiiiiiiiii!"
I couldn't believe the signs that were emitted with the tremendous roar.
