Golden Experience

Episode 14: Intelligence's in traffic.

- Lots of information on error messages put in one line!

First of all, that's Ali's name. Infantry ant would be the race name for this ant, but that means infantry ants. It is conceivable from this name that this ant will still be a demon of sociality and that there will be superior beings who will use this ant as an infantry.

And the next thing you know, it's superior, but it's used by other characters. A queen who would probably be in the nest.

The system of family members is very similar to organizational structures such as companies and companies.

He receives all the benefits - in this case, experience - that the master, who is at the top, derives from the whole, distributes it inside the organization, and works collaboratively as if the whole thing were a single organism. This is also very similar to the way social animals such as ants and bees are found.

Maybe 'servant' is a skill originally reserved for demons of social nature such as ants. It means skills reserved for specific races, like 'claw shooting' and 'bite shooting' that ice wolves possess.

"Claw Shooting" is also supposed to be a skill for demons, if the player, for example, sticks to a bear's or some arm with a magical human body modification like a chimera, I don't know if he can do it.

If so, it is also possible that a demon originally born that way does not possess prerequisite skills such as' spiritual magic 'or' subpoena ', even though he has a' servant '.

"No, this is a hopeful observation"

You may not have it, but if you do, it's a hassle. Rare's MND now with a polar wave would also be able to resist 'psychic magic' on a fairly qualified scale, but other members don't.

Fortunately, 'domination' and 'fear' seem to work for infantry ants, and rare going alone does the least harm.

"I will go here alone. 'Dominance' seems to work, and in that hole anyway, there's only one person who can fight in the lead, even if they go in large numbers."

"But boss, if Ali pushes it in numbers, you can't 'rule' it all at once, can you? Whatever you think is dangerous. At least we need someone to be a shield."

"At least I should take him. I think if you blunt your actions with cold air, you can buy the boss time to do his magic."

"I think my 'hearing enhancement' would be better to know Ali's movements"

"With this dark hole, Atashi's eyes just don't help... Well, it doesn't matter how many shields there are, does it?

We ended up going with all the humans.

I can't get into the hole no matter how. I decided to ask the ice wolves to leave a message and head to the hole to follow the ants.

Not if you're a wolf, but you can't help but take the kids.

"Oh, I have to give you guys a name before I do."

I had put it behind me, but I decided to give the Ice Wolves a name.

Without a name, I can't specify who I will call when I call you by "summons". Ice Wolf, then I don't know which is coming.

As Kelly says it will be a shield, even if there is no open place to be pushed in numbers at the end of the hole. It would be a huge advantage if we could 'summon' this ice wolf at that time.

"First it's you. You are [Hakuma]. Because you are a girl [Ginka]. The little ones are [Mizzole] [Alare] [Leopard] [Fubuki] [Kogome] [Salame] in that order."

The first Ice Wolf alpha to "serve" was named White Devil. The other female adult is a silver flower.

White Devil means catastrophic snow. Silver blossoms took the snow from the way it was called that it looked on the flowers.

The wolf is a female with a misole and a leopard, an arale, a fubuki, a kogome, and a shark.

When I finished naming him, he went into the hole in the order of Kelly, Rae, Marion, Remy and Riley.

It was narrow and dark in the hole, and even considering the fact that the five were crawling on all fours, the pace of progress was slow.

The floors and rock walls are kind of tight. Is the nearest stalactites? This would still be due to some sort of creature's intent, as it is difficult to think of such a round lateral hole that a bell cavity can be formed. Perhaps we should be thankful for some kind of creature, since the early-equipped rare would have worn out palms and kneecaps if it had been the most normal bumpy rock skin.

Even if it was tight, if you did something that would put your knee directly on the hard ground, you can't do it very much because in reality, your knee keratin would thicken and you could fall off the legs that are considered ideal. If that happens, I'll be caged by my family. It can be said that it is exactly like VR that these things can be "experienced".

In the end, without encountering ants, he went through a narrow horizontal hole and out into a space where he could stand critically and walk. If you try it as an ant, it's a place where platoon size is likely to expand, and even this one can form.

"I was here earlier. The watch? caught soldiers. Looks like the other ants came after me on their way home, realizing they weren't on guard."

"I see. How can there be no watching or anything right now? With that happening, I know there's already an intruder through this hole, so you think we're consolidating our position in a more defensible place or something?

I would never have been attacked from this side of the spectrum, and the overreaction nods.

Besides, he's an associate of the ants' bad ice wolves.

"It's still narrow, but I think I can stand and walk ahead of you from here. Let's just move on."

Lined up in the same line as before, and proceeded.

Kelly pulls out her one-handed sword and is alert, and Remy and Riley also have a bow in their hand that was on their back.

Until now, Marion must have pulled out some kind of weapon, but now he's sparing both hands and paying attention to his surroundings. I may need equipment that contributes to some magical activation. Would it be quick to take it away from someone? Even if I buy it, I have nothing ahead of me.

Recommending his steps more carefully than ever before, Remy's ears captured the presence of the ants.

"There's probably plenty ahead. Looks like a lot of numbers, but I'm ambushing you because you haven't moved much...?

It could be a fight at last. Instruct Marion to let the chill out at any time and focus on spreading the 'charm' right away. The success rate will go back because you don't prepare down in "Self Loss," but if you have a lot of numbers, you should be able to target a reduction in your battle power even if you have a lower chance of spreading them apart than making sure you succeed one at a time. 'Self Loss' can only be targeted on a stand-alone basis.

In a place like a little hall, the ants were hissing. Even though there is no particular light source, I feel that the ground appears blackened into a bumpy shape. It's not that I'm particularly bad with insects, Rae, but I felt instinctive repentance for this sight.

But if you think these will be your own forces in a few hours, it's more dependable. As of now, it's just for the calculation of raccoons that I don't take.

The ants should be aware of this one, but there are still no orders or no moves. Maybe the individual equivalent of a queen has some idea, but Rae wasn't willing to wait for it.

"'Enchanted'"

Most ants turned to Rare at the same time. These are the ones who failed to resist 'charm'. Only about a third of the slightly larger ants I had refrained from in the back seemed to have succeeded in resisting. More effective than I expected.

Marion, please.

"Yes, boss"

Marion leaves a step forward. Marion's 'cooling' filled the hall while the ants not under the influence of 'charm' could not move either by the majority of the barbed ants.

This magic isn't otherwise powerful either, but it's easy enough to cool down enough if the subject doesn't move even in large quantities.

Marion's INT is considerably higher compared to players right after the game starts.

If these ants were placed by reference to the fighting power of the players at the start of the game, they shouldn't be able to withstand Marion's magic, even if it's not for combat.

Among the first caves Rae chose was a unique boss by chance.

So is just outside that cave.

So where are the weak miscellaneous fish that were supposed to be dealing with Rare?

That's probably these ants.

Not so much, the ants frosted, and nothing moved in the hall but the Rares.

"Shit, I processed the pig's fur first, and I made it with cold gear."

It's pretty cold in the cave. Besides, we have to get past these frozen ants and move on. Though not unbearable, we need to be prepared to be deprived of strength by low temperatures.

"Well, I didn't even mean to take that long originally, and let's get this over with"

The ants that had been left in the White Devils' nest did not appear to melt at all, at least at the point of departure. It will probably take some time for the frozen state to be lifted until Marion's INT dissolves because of its high Or maybe it's hard to melt because the temperatures are originally low in the cave.

The ants frozen in this hall shouldn't even be able to make a move for a few hours. The temperatures are considerably lower in this hall than in the White Devils' nest.

The battle was pretty smooth right now. Too smooth to call it a fight. In fact, no one has carried out an attack-like attack.

According to Remy, there is a place ahead where the ants are similarly consolidated and motionless.

Then I want to get out of here and clean up in the same procedure as the current battle before reinforcements come from the other side.

Now it is possible that the Queen has not yet grasped the contents of this battle. It would be perfect if we could get to the queen before she noticed.

"Let's go. Be careful not to slip."

A number of intervals continued thereafter: a narrow passage and a low ceiling hall, each time the same procedure was followed to disable the ants and proceed. I see, it's that shape with the aisles and rooms commonly found in ant nests. There were also branches, etc., but he hit that far from the exit would be an important facility, choosing the direction to go down to the basement and proceeded.

The total number of helpless ants is considerable. I haven't stopped it, and even though it's a one-sided development due to war power differences and compatibility, the total amount of EXP gained is considerable. I only get about 4 EXP per average, but it's an amount that I already get to 400.

"Hmm... there doesn't seem to be a group of ants like just now ahead. Just one, I guess."

Apparently, the defensive net is stopped. If it wasn't for the hazy egg room or the pantry ahead, it would be the Queen's room. Is there no Kingsguard?

"Okay. Let's keep our minds together."
