I even wore equipment with a guaranteed increase stat item option, and when I turned on the perk, my body exceeded 50.

Stats that have grown dramatically compared to the battle behind the light.

It was thanks to training while wearing the cursed item until now.

“Ant masters live in groups instead of being weak. It’s difficult to deal with. Formation is very important when dealing with multiple enemies. Joo Chang-beom?”

“Yes, brother.”

“You are the leader and direct the battle. how to fight I won’t join a fight unless I judge you to be in danger. I’ll bring a few ant hunters, so keep discussing until then.”

“All right.”

Inside the dark ant nest.

Even though it was in the form of a cave, the inside of the anthill was quite wide.

Enough to wield a spear.

It seemed to be because the size of the ant’s beast was quite large.

After going inside for a while, the shape of the cave ended and something like a huge plaza appeared.

There were again several burrows in the square, and about 50 ants were roaming about.

‘It’s a perfect labyrinth.’

It must be difficult to drag.

The moment I tried to lure one, it seemed that a large-scale attack would be attracted.

‘Tsk. I can’t help it.’

I took out a bow from my inventory and shot it at the ant-maniac running around.

ping! Pook-

An arrow that hits the ant’s chest precisely.

However, because of the hard exoskeleton, the kill call did not appear.

“Keeek!”

About 10 ants found me and rushed at the arrow I shot.

‘Since it’s my first real fight, two dogs would be appropriate, right?’

I swung my spear at the ants crawling at high speed without heading straight to the place where the newcomers were.

Tring!

[Your HP is recovered by 1% with ＜Recovery of Blood＞ ability.]

[Your HP is recovered by 1% with ＜Recovery of Blood＞ ability.]

[With the ＜Recovery of Blood＞ ability, physical strength is reduced.]

Then, in an instant, 8 ant monsters were swept away.

Confirming that there were only two remaining, I gently lured them out and headed for the new recruits.

“Joo Chang-beom! Two go! preparation!”

The speed at which the ant demons crawled was quite fast, so I was able to come to the starting point quickly.

“I will stop you from going back from the front! Line up well!”

Chang-beom Chang raised his shield and blocked the ants that were chasing me.

“Keeek!”

The battle started like that.

Although there were only two, the newcomers struggled from the start.

I had to pierce the attack by avoiding the movement of the ant master to prevent him from falling backward, but it was because I was not used to it and stumbled on the attack.

Rather, it was to the extent that the advocate was more dangerous to the attack of the newcomers than the ant masters.

‘It can’t be helped.’

Compared to what he looked like when he trained on the farm, he was at a really poor level.

But I decided to be patient.

It’s because my body stiffened up from the pressure and tension of my first real fight, because once I get used to it, I’ll show a much better image.

“Hee-eok, hee-eok, hee-eok, hee-uh.”

I barely managed to kill two ants, but the new recruits were breathing heavily.

Rather than being exhausted, he was so nervous that he forgot to breathe.

The hand holding the shield was trembling.

It must have been my first birthday, so the mental burden seemed very heavy.

However, as a guy with high mental strength, he will overcome it well.

‘If I don’t, I’ll just be weeded out.’

“Let’s bring the next guys.”

I left the guys behind and headed to the plaza.

After that, I gradually increased the number of ants I took with the new recruits.

After about 10 real battles like that, the movements of the guys started to come to life little by little.

“brother! I spilled one behind!”

“Leave it to me!”

“Brother Jace! Starting with the guy on the left!”

“okay!”

“Ugh, Brother Luciano! One run away!”

“I’ll take care of it.”

Once their hands and feet started to match, the number of ant monsters they could deal with gradually increased.

Currently, the number of ant demons I have brought is seven.

I had a hard time with two of them, but now I was having fun with seven of them.

This battle ended with Chang-beom Chang stabbing his sword into the last remaining ant beast.

I approached and congratulated the newcomers.

“It’s quite good. Now I can deal with ten of them.”

From noble mtl dot com

Joo Chang-beom, who was holding his breath at my praise, grinned.

“It’s all thanks to the equipment my brother bought me.”

Zhou Chang-beom cherished the shield as if it were a treasure.

Seeing that, I laughed.

On the day I matched my gear, I bought them new gear as well.

Of course, with cheap fixed-increasing stat items.

Since the stats were still low, there was no need to hit the expensive percentage increase stat items.

Of course, no matter how much gold I have, I won’t be able to match those expensive equipment to them.

“Now, beyond hunting in one spot, I will deal with them while moving. We have to go to the place where the queen ant witch is. You’d better eat your heart out.”

“ancient! Ready!”

At my words, the new recruits shouted loudly.

So far progressing smoothly.

Through this match, the guys will grow tremendously.

* * *

Kamakiri was full of complaints.

Seeing yourself as a contender who should run in the main event, giving these newbies real-life training.

“I… Kamakiri-sama. What should I do?”

One of the newcomers approached, hesitant. In an instant, the heat surged up.

“Should I even spoon-feed them? I’m not here to gain experience anyway. So, catch a few ants and go hunting.”

Kamakiri shot the newcomer like that and went into the anthill alone.

It didn’t matter if they died or not.

After all, if you kill the queen ant, they will all resurrect.

In the first place, I had no intention of doing the aftermath of the guys.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve been out, so I’ll have to play around a bit before going in.’

In a match like this, there would be no strong player who could threaten him.

Kamakiri walked around the anthill with her stealth skills.

It was time to get out of the plaza and enter another cave.

“Ronia, put a bondage on one!”

“Yes, brother!”

“Hanson! Step back a bit more!”

I heard the sound of a party from another team hunting.

‘I’m still annoyed, but I need to take my anger out on those bastards.’

With that thought in mind, it was time to walk toward the direction of the sound.

Suddenly, a thought popped into Kamakiri’s head.

‘Should I catch the ant masters and throw them?’

You must be embarrassed by the sudden increase in ant monsters, right?

I think it would be really funny to be torn to death by ants with a resentful expression on your face.

When I thought of them, I thought it would be interesting.

After making up her mind, Kamakiri immediately broke her hiding.

Then, the ant witches around them screamed when they found Kamakiri.

“Keeeg

“Kieek!”

Ride on, ride on!

Two-meter-long ant beasts moved their small legs and charged at Kamakiri.

“Fufu, follow me diligently. I’ll give you plenty of prey soon.”

Kamakiri ran in the direction of the sound with the ant demons behind her.

Then, inside the burrow, I saw five players struggling with about 10 ants.

“Me, me!”

The swordsman who was standing at the forefront of them found Kamakiri and was about to yell something, but froze when he saw a group of ant witches following behind him.

“Goodbye, bugs.”

Kamakiri smiled once, ran past them and quickly to the starting point, then used her stealth skill.

Then the ants that had been chasing Kamakiri turned their heads and charged at the party they were hunting.

“Kyaaah!”

“backwards! Back as fast as you can… Whoops!”

“Sah, save me!”

In an instant, it became a mess, and the players couldn’t stand it for long and were torn apart by the jaws of the ant monsters.

Seeing that, Kamakiri giggled as if it was fun.

“Is this really fun? Pooh. I will have to kill the other parties this way too.”

Excited, Kamakiri hurried to another den.

His steps were as light as a child searching for hidden treasure.

After wandering around the maze-like ant nest for a long time, they soon found another party.

Seeing that there were quite a lot of ant-beast corpses piled up nearby, it seemed that he had good skills.

‘I’ll have to take more this time.’

Kamakiri immediately exited the cave and circled the plaza.

Then, numerous ant beasts started chasing Kamakiri again.

‘Let’s see how long these guys last.’

As I approached another party with nearly 50 ants, the party leader of the other party saw it and screamed.

“It’s a mob chaser! get out of the back! Deva! Take out your shield and block the road with me! Attack the rest one by one from behind!”

It seemed like a party leader who had often participated in this type of mission.

The party leader gave instructions to the party members without panicking.

The more he came out like that, the thicker Kamakiri’s smile grew.

‘Yes, if you touch it, you have to wriggle hard to get the taste of stepping on it.’

“Nom! Doing such crap!”

As they tried to walk past the party, the players swung their swords at Kamakiri.

After dodging their swords, Kamakiri laughed at them one at a time, then passed them by and used her stealth skills.

“Keeek!”

“Do not panic! I will stop the ants from passing over, so calmly deal with them one by one from the back!”

Unlike the guys who were wiped out in an instant, this party was holding on quite tenaciously.

No, seeing the number of ant demons slowly decreasing, it seemed that they would successfully block it.

Kamakiri’s face, which was full of laughter at that sight, cooled.

‘It’s not fun to block.’

Kamakiri lowered her stance and slowly approached the players.

Do you think you can block it? Then I just had to make it unstoppable.

‘What kind of guy should I pierce a hole in?’

Kamakiri swept the dagger in her hand with her tongue and approached the party leader who was blocking the ants.

The party leader was swinging his shield vigorously so as not to shed ants.

‘You win!’

Kamakiri, who came right behind the party leader, stabbed her with a dagger.

“Keugh!”

area is the thigh. It was not a place to be mortally wounded.

But the result was not.

As the lower body collapsed, the party leader was pushed down by the ants in an instant.

When the party leader collapsed, ants rushed in through the hole like a river with a broken dam.

The players surrounded by the ant beasts had their limbs cut off in an instant, and the ants began to tear them alive.

“Aagh! you b*tch! Hey you trash bastard! f*cking a dog, kuck!”

The party leader, who had all his limbs ripped off and eaten alive by ants, quickly disappeared without leaving any form behind.

Only the puddles of pooled blood let us know that someone was there.

“Ahahahahaha, is this really the worst? Fuhahahaha.”

Kamakiri, who had been giggling while holding onto her stomach for a long time, soon set out to find her next prey.

I can’t wait to see how the other parties will react.

It was time to go out to the plaza and wander around the oysters, looking for other parties.

As we exited the burrow and headed to another plaza, we could hear the faint sounds of ants screaming.

‘bingo.’

I sneaked up and saw that there were four players fighting about 10 ants.

What was unusual was that one player holding a spear was watching it with his arms crossed.

‘Are these guys doing something too?’

Still, unlike the party I just killed, this party was in the middle of the plaza. Because of the open space, just being surrounded by ants would kill them all in an instant.

With light steps, Kamakiri found a place where many ant beasts could be gathered.

After entering another cave and walking for a while, another plaza appeared.

There were more than 100 ants running around in the plaza.

“hehehehe, follow me ants!”

Humming a song, Kamakiri ran toward the party she had just found.

After running for about 5 minutes, I saw the party still hunting in the spacious plaza.

At that moment, the player who was holding the shield met his eyes and breathed in vain.

“omg!”

Nearly 100 ant beasts would be a terrible sight to the point of being terrified just by looking at them.

‘Goodbye, giggle.’

Kamakiri, who came out to the plaza, immediately hid, took refuge in a nearby cave, and started watching.

In an instant, the large plaza was filled with ant demons.

It was then.

“Keee!”

“Keeek!”

As the spearman with his arms crossed swung his spear, the flocking ants began to die in an instant.

‘What, what!’

It was truly overwhelming strength.

Each time the spearman swung his spear, four or five ants were split in two and died.

aaang!

Then, suddenly, a thunderbolt struck and another ten ants died.

Every time he swung his spear, lightning struck, creating a red mist that was sucked into his body.

It looked like a reaper driving death.

For a moment, a chill ran down Kamakiri’s spine.

‘Named!’

The spearman was an expert enough to be compared to himself.

It didn’t take long for the 100 ants to turn into cold corpses.

‘sh*t. Why did a guy like that come to a game like this?’

He probably came in to give newcomers the experience like he did.

Sweat beaded on Kamakiri’s forehead as she ran away.

It was as if I had touched something that was not supposed to be touched.
