We are now at level 21 in the Meadow Area.

We decided to attack Killer Ant's nest in order to ensure that all participants were leveled in a short period of time.

"Jink, how do you find Ant's nest?

Before, I framed the adventurers chased by Ant to fight the Ant herd... but this time I'm heading directly to Ant's nest.

"Oh, Chris. There's a nest about 7 km from the other side. If you have a Signal Detection Buff, it's easy to find the monster signs you encounter once."

"Heh, that's a handy skill!

Ants gather tens of thousands of them to nest, making it particularly easy to see the signs.

As long as you get the hang of it, even Chris, who has never encountered Ant, will be able to find the nest.

"I'm a little nervous because I haven't fought Ant in a long time. But even I'm stronger than before, and this time it'll be more useful than before!

"I hope so, Esther."

Like my brother said, the situation is different from the last Ant fight.

The four of us are much stronger than before, so we won't die if we go into the nest alone.

MP is also greatly increasing, so to the extent that it involves a series of cyclone-based magic, I'm not very tired.

"We're here in large numbers this time, so I don't think we'll struggle that far. You can always rest if you want to."

"Ian's right, numbers are power. It's like falling back and resting when it gets hard without everyone having to."

When it comes to numbers, Ant is more overwhelming... He's not that strong as a whole, so it's okay.

With the slime leveling up to this point, even weak members will not have any companions to lose strength because their strengths have risen to C-rank equivalent.

If you fail and get hurt, there are many members who can fight instead, so you can go back and have a potion.

Compared to the Death March with Ant, which we fought together, it was a very privileged condition.

"When we get close to the nest, we'll lend Mithril a weapon coated with Orihalcon. You don't have to worry about spilling a blade on this, so you can swing as much as you like!

Many of the leveling participating members are warrior types who don't like magic.

So I made a sturdy weapon for them that didn't spill a blade.

I haven't devised any design, so it's not suitable for regular use, but it's perfect for crushing.

After the MP is reduced and the magic can no longer shoot, you just need to wield a weapon that you are good at as long as your health continues to increase the skill level of that weapon.

"Air Cyclone! Fire Lance!"

"Fire tornado!"

"All right, here it is! Sai!"

Yeah.

So far, I have been able to fight without any particular problems.

When I fought before, Ant surrounded me, but this time I'm arrayed at the entrance and exit of the nest hole, so you just have to deal with Ant coming from the front.

The entrance to and exit from the nest hole is wide enough for three people to line up side-by-side and shoot a wide range of magic, so you can attack all you want unilaterally.

Of course, I keep an eye on Ant for once as he returns out of the nest... but there's no sign of him coming back at all.

Compared to the last death fight, I think it's a really easy fight.

Four hours later, Ant's flock was wiped out.

I was also thinking about the possibility of lipopping along the way more than attacking the nest hole directly... but I felt confirmed by the sign detection and it didn't look like the number of ants had increased.

I guess it'll take a lot of time to repop.

"Even during the battle this time, I used wind magic to collect the material, so it's easy to clean up, brother"

"Right, Esther. You worked well, too. Thank you so much."

"I'm glad to be of service to your brother!

Since the material in the corner breaks at the instigation of the battle, I regularly collect it from members who are good at magic, such as myself, Esther, etc.

In slime leveling, the four of us who couldn't really fight on the front line felt refreshed this time because we could unleash magic as much as we wanted.

There should be Ant nesting holes in other tiers, so go around the Meadow area for a few days and enjoy Ant hunting.

"It was powerful, and I freaked out honestly"

"Jink and the others looked fine, so I knew it was okay, but you didn't feel comfortable alive."

Chris and his first labyrinth adventurers seemed pretty hard.

Well from slime leveling, the prey is ranked up at once, so can't it be done?

I didn't get any serious injuries, and we can all afford to chat, so it's still a safe line.

"You know what? He's fought a bunch of Ants by himself before."

Suddenly Mr. Dan spoke with a nibbling face.

I don't know...... I only have a bad feeling.

"Mr. Dan, stop! Wait a minute!

"Now is the time to talk a lot, but I was dying because of my strength."

"Really!?

My suppression was also much-needed... After this, Dan told us about the mistakes we wanted to forget as teachers on the other hand.

Ozisan, mean......

Did you still have it in your roots that you messed with Mr. Alpha's couple?
