To Deprive a Deprived Person

"This guy... that's a hell of a sight to hear about."

Enrio sixty layers in the world of decay, Lalit breathes unexpectedly in the sight in front of him.

The rotten earth is no different from the previous hierarchy, but there are holes of about 1m to 2m in diameter all over the earth, which lead to 60-63 layers of ruling ants' nests. Not only that, but it doesn't look like a seemingly old giant tree, which is about 400 m in diameter as if it were going to rush through heaven and 800 m in height, but this is an anthill. With hundreds of such ridiculously sized anthills standing across the horizon, there was no reason for Lalit to be surprised.

Still corrupt eating soldier ants crawling around the ground looking for prey. An adventurer who can come up to 60 layers on his own is not a threat, but once the battle begins and even one of the scratches on the stinking glands spreads a pheromone that gathers allies. If that happens, corrupt eating soldier ants, corrupt eating cavalry ants will pop up from everywhere. And even if you make a mistake, you mustn't lay your hands on an anthill. Unlike meat-eating soldier ants and meat-eating cavalry ants in the ground, the meat-eating Kingsguard Ants guarding queen ants and queen ant candidate larvae flock in thousands of units in one ant tsunami. This corrupt eating Kingsguard ant usually never leaves the anthill, but eliminates the threat with a fearful solidarity once danger looms on the queen anthill. Its combat power is not the ratio of rot eating soldier ants, rot eating cavalry ants. You'll see how much better it is to deal with ten Rotten Eater Soldier Ants than with one Rotten Eater Kingsguard Ant.

"Everybody be careful not to damage the stinking glands in your abdomen when defeating ants. The avant-garde should watch out for counterattacks because I restrain the ants with water magic and then defeat them in turn for more than the belly pattern of the ants, but the ants here will move around for a while as long as they have severed their necks and torso, and the rear guard should magically recover when the avant-garde support and the injured come out. The defeated ants are to be informed immediately in the unlikely event that the scouts strip away around Lalit and injure the stinking glands when stripping the ants of nectar.

So far, anyone have any questions?

Questions are raised about how some people would respond if they damaged their stinky glands or if a rotten eating Kingsguard Ant came out, but when they broke their stinky glands, they were convinced by water, ice magic, etc., that there would be no problem if the pheromones were vaporized, sealed before diffusion, and that even if the rotten eating Kingsguard Ant came out of the Ant Tsuka, if it were a few, if it was a member who would consolidate around Kenneth at the head, they would be able to knock it down fine.

"Mr. Kennett, can I help you?"

"Jimgo, fine."

"Why is the rest of us so focused on Lalit when we have a repudiation job?"

"Captain, I didn't have Jimgo's shoulder, but I thought the same thing."

One person of the same mind as Jimgo raises his hand one after the other and hits Kennett with a doubt, but Kennett even smiles as thin as if he had expected dissatisfaction.

"It's only natural for everyone to wonder. It is the hope of the fans to reject Lalit this time around. You know all of our scouts here are women, right?

Until now, repudiation has meant that the fans seldom take a step back and claim themselves against the avant-garde and the rear guards - especially the men.

I chose Lalit because I wanted a repulsion woman to feel confident. Do we all understand how dangerous it would be to explore the labyrinth without a scout?

"I know that."

"Really? But didn't they see their scouts down there somewhere? I'm not gonna let you tell me there isn't any."

The men look at Kenneth's words as if they have a verse in mind. Conversely, the women, especially the fans, were relieved that Kennett was taking a good look at them, and once again increased their trust in their leader.

"Hehe, you all seem to have a verse in mind. The strength of Lalit's repudiation has been well understood by all of you over the past few days. I think Lalit can give opinions and instructions without being afraid of the avant-garde, rear-guard men. Right, Lalit?

I appeal to Kennett to leave it to Lalit to wink, but it was annoying for Lalit. Half the men were convinced that the evidence would be enough, and the other half exposed their discomfort with Lalit. The fans' reliance on Lalit was also further applauded by the jealousy of the men, but for Kennett, this degree of rubbing has been experienced many times in the past, increasing the unity of the green guardians every time they get over it. I would be able to rub it somewhat this time, but I thought it would turn out to be very positive.

"Come on, the discussion is over! By the end of the day, the Rotten Eater Ants will have the nectar and we'll have a banquet at the Cummer!

Kennett's orders have everyone except Lalit! I responded with a lot of temper.

"Bind the water, overlap on a few layers, and be a strong cage for no one to miss."

Corrupt Eating Soldier Ant is restrained by Kennett's unleashed black magic third floor, "The Water Cage". Easily eating a thousand pieces of human body and so on. Chewing a cage of water with the tough jaws of a corrupt eating soldier ant, but it could not have chewed up a cage made of water and so on, only the noise sounded vainly. From behind, a drogos battle axe severs the belly pattern of a corrupt eating soldier ant. Despite his body splitting in two, the corrupt eating soldier ant still hits his jaw to bite.

Drogos throws it toward Lalit when he grabs the foot of a rampaging corrupt eating soldier ant. Larit quickly disconnects the crustacean eye of the rotting meat-eating soldier ant and carefully disconnects the ant honey clogged area from his belly. The fans move the ant nectar into the bottle with admiration.

"Mr. Drogos, treat me a little more politely even if I throw you away. Their vitality is unusual. If they get busted and damage their stinking glands, they're in trouble."

"Oh, sorry about that."

"Shit, look great"

Jimgo tongues next to Drogos.

"How long have you been obstinate? As I said yesterday, Lalit has a lot of strength. Gear is a little unforgivable, but my arm is definite. Besides, look at the fans. Thanks to Lalit not hesitating to say what they usually put up with, they're stretched out."

Drogos slapped Jimgo on the back several times and he went toward the corrupt eating soldier ant who was being captured in the next water cage.

"It's no big deal. Me, too."

Jimgo was stuck in the abdomen of a rotting meat-eating soldier ant who was cut and scratched algae with a belly pattern at his feet.

"Captain, that sounds good."

"Yeah, the larits are good, so the ants are gathering 70% of what they plan to do. Just..."

"Something bothering you?

"There are fewer ants than the information we were purchasing. Half the Rotten Eater Ants are searching for food on the ground, and the other half are making meat dumplings to be transported to the Ant Tsuka in the ground, but you don't have a tenth of what you expected."

"Well, maybe you've gone elsewhere to find food, or you've changed the location of the nest. Anyway, Enrio in this corrupt world is one of the most vast labyrinths in the labyrinth. These 60 floors seem to be big enough for a city camer."

"Maybe I just care too much. Just in case, reinforce the nest of the ants that are enchanted by earth magic."

"Okay."

When Kennett gives instructions to the team, he resumes the hunt. The rank of the Rotten Eater Ants was six, and the struggle was desperate if fought properly, but Kennett's water magic prevented the immobile ants from being enemies of the Green Guardians. There were occasions when about six or eight of them would strike at a time, but Kennett would deal with them in no hurry. The members' trust in Kennett, who has survived many hazards as a B-rank adventurer, was thick.

"Mr. Lalit, you're doing well without anyone getting hurt badly"

"Fan, you don't have to say that to me."

Fans unexpectedly laugh at Lalit's words. Fans of the dwarves look younger than their age, and Lalit has had a rough time dealing with them so far.

"Mr. Lalit is here."

"I'm a leftover. This is how we travel the world with care."

"What is it? Ugh."

The women around me are also caught by their fans and spill a laugh.

When Lalit is having trouble reacting to the women, the carcass of a corrupt eating soldier ant is thrown at her feet.

"What are you chatting about?

Lalit, I can do this without you. "

Jimgo's hand was gripped with an area filled with ant nectar from a rotten eating soldier ant. However, each of the odorous glands was cut together.

"Jimgo......, do you know what you did?

Lalit, who was almost abandoned by accident, but the fans felt the same way. Kennett left the stripping to Lalit and the rest of the scouts because the stinking glands of the flesh-eating soldier ants are very fragile and vaporize from small fissures and so on, even if they appear to have been cut clean at first sight, spreading to their surroundings.

"Hmm, what are you freaking out about? Even I know what happens when I hurt my stinking glands."

"Mr. Fan, let Mr. Kennett know right away. Mr. Jimgo, when did you cut that stinking gland off?"

Fans snort and run out under Kennett. I'm worried that Jimgo did something awkward too.

"Am I right? It was about enough ago. What's wrong with that?"

Larit slowly snatches the stinking glands from Jimgo and checks for scratches.

"And I have a scratch on my stinking gland"

That was a small wound that you wouldn't notice unless you were used to stripping, but the size of the wound wasn't the problem.

Lalit is driven by the urge to punch Jimgo, who acted recklessly, but when he endures that it's not the time now, he immediately shouts at everyone.

"Pheromones are leaking from the stinking glands! Prepare to flee immediately!

Kennett, who was getting reports from fans at the same time Larit screamed, was giving the same instructions.

"Lalit's right! Start getting ready to withdraw immediately!

"Ke, Mr. Kennett, what are you panicking about... Lalit's guy is just sayin 'big time. I peel perfectly..."

The dirt that was blocking the ant's nest blows up so as to scratch out Jimgo's voice as he was about to protest against Larit and Kennett. Dozens of corruption-eating soldier ants crawled out of the soil smoke.

"Man, this is awkward! It's not just the Rotten Eater Ants, the Rotten Eater Cavalry Ants!

Rotten Eating Soldier Ants are riding across a circle of small Rotten Eating Cavalry Ants, and the attack of the Rotten Eating Soldier Ants themselves is as simple and tough as spitting acid out occasionally for bites using their jaws, but when the Rotten Eating Cavalry Ants are riding, they become separate. Instruct as if you were a knight across a horse and use collaboration and formation to attack, like an army.

"Fan, I'll buy you some time, so run away with the transfer stone from those who are ready."

"But then Mr. Kennett escapes..."

"I don't have time to argue here. The more time passes, the more awkward it gets."

"Captain! They're coming in formation like an army!

"Huh! Quick!!"

Kennett stops at the blackmagic second floor, 'Waterwall', to the ants that come in. The water wall deployed by Kennett was on a tremendous scale with a height of 5m, a thickness of 1m and a width of 200m. The ants try to crush the water walls, but the water walls are replenished to make up for the missing parts.

"With a metastatic stone within now - Huh!?

Determined unable to break through the water wall, the Rotten Eater Cavalry Ant makes the choice to dig right into the ground. The shield crew bounces back the ants who have broken through the waterwall, but it was water on the burning stone. The appearance of the ants crawling out of the ground from next to next was like a nightmare.

"Morris! What's the status of the withdrawal?

"The fans and the low-level ones are escaping with metastatic stones first. But... the ants will give us time to activate the metastatic stone so that we can escape."

"No problem. To this extent, I will not let our members die! Morris, I'll unleash my magic, so get the rest of us out of that gap."

"But then..."

"Judge calmly. What are you gonna do when you stay here with me, Lieutenant?

Morris wanted to stay on Kennett's side until the end of the day by refusing, but makes a bitter decision on a flock of ants still gushing from the nest of ants. It was also because of this strong sense of responsibility that Kenneth was able to be unscrupulous.

One flesh-eating soldier ant coming scratching Kenneth's magic hits Kenneth, but Larrit's thrown throwing throwing knife pierces him in the blind eye.

"Lalit!"

"Thank you for waiting. I don't know if it works, but I'm throwing in a stink eraser ball. Hopefully this will cure the excitement of the ants."

"You're an outsider, so you don't have to go out with me."

"What can I say for myself, but I don't like who you really are"

"Hehe, I knew you'd want it in my clan"

Despite this situation, Kennett was laughing. Lalit was mixed up with the Green Guardians to find Yu in the first place, but now he's dying to get the Green Guardians away. Lalit laughs at me for being such a favorite.

"Oh, we feel comfortable laughing in this situation."

Give me a break.

Kennett starts chanting while tapping lightly. In the meantime, the rest of us will die and be outnumbered by madness. Jimgo also remained until the end feeling responsible for the situation he had invited because of himself.

Ants gush whether they knock them down or not. The damage and fatigue are going to break the hearts of the crew, but that's when Kennett's # 6 black magic chant, Water Dragon Falls, is complete. The dragons created with water swallow and push the ants away, and the ants, slammed by the anthills far rear as they were, are sandwiched by water pressure and walls and crushed to death.

"Now's your chance! With a metastatic stone... no..."

Kennets tried to push the ants away at once and escape with a metastatic stone, but new ants gush out of the ground. That number was even higher than when the battle began.

"Oh, it's over... it's my fault Mr. Kennett... to get everyone involved..."

"Jimgo! If you're a man, you won't give up! Stand up and scratch your feet, even if you're not close to the end!!

To Kennett's scolding, Jimgo, who was crying, rises when he wipes his tears with his arms. The members around them were also stiffening up their fighting spirit again and consolidating their surroundings to protect Kenneth.

"Guys, I didn't give up. Jimgo, what's that face?

Kennett, who tried to skip scolding again because Jimgo, who recovered from the corner, has a distracted face, is puzzled because the other members looked the same.

"What's wrong with you guys?

"Ke, Mr. Kennett, there... look over there!

Everyone was staring in the direction Jimgo pointed. No, not just the Kennets. Hundreds of ants stared at the same place.

Everyone's staring ahead.

"Hey, what the... can't be all... are those all ants...?

There was a tremendous amount of smoke. The smoke was caused by the marches of thousands of ants.

"Look! Rotten Eaters, soldiers, ants. Rotten Eaters, cavalry. Not just ants! Rotten meat-eating Kingsguard Ants!! That's thousands of rotten meat-eating Kingsguard ants too!! How come there are so many rotten meat-eating Kingsguard ants coming out of Anttsuka!?

"Right, Captain! The ants... Huh!?

Kennett and the others, who had been fighting to the death until earlier, run out to join a crowd of thousands of ants just because they weren't interested at the earliest.

"What's going on!? Hey, can't you see the beginning of the smoke with your thousand eyes?

A man with a 'thousand eyes' on his passive skills gazes at the beginning of the smoke.

"Guy, he's a kid... the kid runs the lead! And besides, what that kid has is a larvae, oh, probably a queen ant candidate larvae. That's such a mimic suicide act!? That's why the ants are going that way, ignoring us."

Lalit shakes a man's shoulder hard with the word kid. A man is pressured by the appearance of Lalit, who panics so much that he has never seen exploring with him in the past few days.

"You... what about that kid's hair? Isn't your hair black?

"Oh, yeah, he's definitely a brunette kid. What a kid like that by himself..."

The reaction of the Green Guardians varied. There were even those who helped and rejoiced, those who thanked raw aloud, and those who lost their hips and sat down on the ground.

"Thanks for saving me for now, I'm getting out of here."

"Mr. Kennett, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to act differently from here."

"Larit, what are you talking about? We're going to have a banquet at Cummer. Collect the nectar from the ants you just defeated and you can fulfill your request. What are you gonna do, act alone in a place like this?

Everyone doubted Lalit's words as well as Kennett's.

"Guys, it's been a while, but you took care of me. When I see you again at Cummer, you'll have to hang out with me for drinks."

Larit smiled and told him so, chasing a bunch of ants. Kennett was left with a sad face and dropped off until he couldn't see Lalit's back.
