Meanwhile, when Do-hyeon meets the queen ant.

The dungeon capture team was faced with an unexpected surprise.

It was a long battle in the basement.

Even in the seemingly endless swarm of armor ants, the end seemed to be visible.

The soldiers as well as the players were relieved to see that they were almost all winning.

However,

The system message that appeared in front of the players was like a bomb.

“What?! Why is the queen ant here?”

“What else is the ant nest?”

“Aren’t there only armor ants here yet?”

The players looked at each other in surprise.

However, no one knew about what happened now.

At the same time, the state of the armored ants that the players were dealing with suddenly changed.

It raised its front paws and trembled, drooling from its sharp-toothed snout.

As the situation changed rapidly, the players hurriedly widened the gap.

“Everyone step back!”

The armor ants just moved little by little like a clockwork doll.

And after a moment of reluctance passed.

Kuch hee hee hee hee profit!

A swarm of armor ants came rushing in like a racehorse that only looked ahead.

Still, he swung his menacing front legs wildly.

Boo-woong! Boo-woong!

The sound of cutting the air was not unusual.

It was a random movement with no pattern remaining.

“Hey, what is that… … .”

“This shit! Isn’t that crazy?”

It was maddening enough to cause goosebumps even to the soldiers in the rear while covering fire.

To make matters worse, the armored ants that had been hiding came out in swarms here and there.

Each of them had foam on their snouts, and their moving speed was not unusual.

“Withdraw!”

“Retreat with fire support!”

“Throw away all the equipment you can’t bring!”

“Move quickly!”

It was only natural that the evacuation order had been issued.

He had already fought a long battle, and was about to finish it.

Even though he was a player beyond the limits of a human being, his body was made of flesh and bones.

It was a situation where I had no choice but to feel the limits of my physical strength.

However, the armored ants rushed around as if they had gone mad and had no talent to hold on.

As the players retreated a bit, the soldiers hurriedly withdrew.

Even with special firearms, in dungeons and monsters, they were nothing but civilians.

From the military’s point of view, they had done everything they wanted them to do.

After that, players had to hold out against the armor ants without a cover fire.

However, he had to fight harder while his stamina was low, so he had no choice but to lose his concentration.

Then a player suddenly lost strength in his leg and sprained.

Boo-woong!

As if aiming for the right time, the front legs of the armor ant approached the player’s head.

If I didn’t dodge it, my head would be crushed like a watermelon.

That was then.

Kagang!

A single sword, still sharp, struck the armored ant’s forelegs.

A woman stood in front of the fallen player.

“However, Eunseol… … !”

The player was silent and she shouted her name.

Dan Eun Seol thrust her sword into the soft flesh between the skins of the ants in her armor.

The armor ant screamed in pain.

In succession, Dan Eun-seol managed to handle one armored ant with ease.

“Now we must withdraw.”

She calmly replied that way.

He hadn’t stopped breathing for a second.

The player who barely survived looked back.

All the soldiers had withdrawn.

Some quick-witted players were also leading other players to retreat.

“Damn it, it’s about to end!”

The player who spit out abusive words left Eunseol Dan thanking him and ran away.

‘… It’s definitely weird.’

As the player said, it was questionable that this happened at the end of the game.

Is this the first large-scale quest targeting the ant monster?It is true that information was lacking.

It was humiliating for the player to know even information about queen ants and ant nesting sites through system messages.

Failure to explore the tunnel was a failure.

There was no time to worry about that as the attack was carried out with a limited number of people.

But suddenly the queen ant’s eggs are destroyed, and the queen ants are angry and the armored ants run wild?

It was clear that something strange had happened in the ‘ant spawning ground’ that no one here knew about.

But now was not the time to contemplate.

Dan Eun-seol shook his head to shake off the thought.

Instead of retreating, she decided to take a look at the rest of the players.

‘By the way, Lee Do-hyun, where is he?’

As the head of the Mucheon-se family put in, he was paying close attention to the idea that something was going to happen.

But her expectations were wrong.

Even after coming here, Lee Do-hyeon was insincere and bought a lot of people around him.

Could it be that her own intuition was wrong?

As she was about to turn away from her suspicious gaze, a strange phenomenon occurred in the swarm of armored ants, leading to her withdrawal.

Lee Do-hyun was not found as she skimmed down from her rear to the front.

She first meant that she was not included in the evacuated personnel.

But if he hasn’t been found at the forefront yet, where is he?

Suddenly, such a question crossed her mind.

and,

bang!

A huge roar was heard from beyond where the armor ants were coming in swarms.

*

Kugugung!

The walls of the huge temple collapsed gently.

A dark shadow appeared between the building rubble and the dust.

Breaking through the dust, the queen ant came forward.

The appearance of her queen ant was repulsive, as is usual for females of insects in nature.

This is because her form has changed a lot in order to live only for her childbirth.

The upper body of the queen ant was no different from that of other ants.

However, the abdomen had a thin skin and was filled with an unidentified yellow liquid.

And there were objects believed to be eggs floating in it.

“Ugh.”

Dohyun frowned involuntarily.

Originally, the stomach wasn’t weak.

But in reality, I didn’t expect it to be this bizarre.

Cookie hey profit!

The queen ant, seeing her own eggs destroyed by her armored ants, burst into a car roar in her anger.

Even though it was a simple roar, like the bosses of other dungeons, I felt an abominable energy that could temporarily stop human actions.

But Dohyun was different.

The back of her neck got a little chilly, but it wasn’t unbearable.

“It doesn’t look very good, so let’s finish it as soon as possible!”

The time limit is 60 minutes.

Time was already passing.

Dohyun quickly blew up the new model.

The size of the queen ant was equivalent to three armored ants combined.

She wasn’t that agile, so she easily allowed Dohyeon to break through.

‘First of all, the ship!’

Do-hyeon swung her sharp sword and cut the queen ant’s belly.

As the fragile skin was cut off, a yellow liquid cascaded down.

A sticky mucus soaked the floor.

Kuch hee hee hee profit!

The queen ant screamed at her pain.

Even in the midst of that, she used her best efforts to attack Do-hyeon.

However, there was no way Do-hyeon, who easily evaded the attack of the armor ants, would be defeated by the queen ant.

bang!

Only the pillars of the temple were broken and passed over to the side.

Do-hyeon easily unraveled the battle against the queen ant.

The attack was strictly aimed only at the belly of the queen ant.

Its outer shell was thinner than other places, so it was easy to attack.

Kee eh!

The queen ant spewed her eggs out as if it were her last blow.

She knew instinctively that she would die if she went on like this.

A swarm of young ants was born from the hastily spilled eggs.

She came out not fully grown, so she was immature and unable to control her body.

Nevertheless, the aggression continued.

Whether he was trying to protect his mother, the queen ant, he immediately recognized Do-hyeon as an enemy.

Several baby ants sporadically rushed towards Do-hyeon.

Papa!

‘You just need to be careful of formic acid!’

Do-hyeon lightly swung his sword and struck out the baby ants.

birdAs the ants exploded and died, the formic acid splashed.

Do-hyeon quickly moved his feet to avoid the formic acid.

Compared to the armor ants, the baby ants were not a good enemy.

But the exploding formic acid was enough to make his feet stop even for a moment.

Wheeik! bang!

Unsurprisingly, while Dohyeon was evading, the queen ant swung her front paws.

The attack from the queen ants that came in from time to time was quite threatening.

Occasionally, the queen ants attacked the young ants and killed them.

However, the queen did not care if the young ants died.

Rather, while the baby ants were holding Dohyeon, they were hoping that the attack would hit.

It was when Do-hyeon stepped back to avoid the formic acid of baby ants.

Suck!

I felt a different movement from the back of the baby ant.

Dohyun hurriedly turned to his side.

Boo-woong!

The legs of the still immature armor ants were stuck in the ground.

Had he been late, his thighs would have been torn.

Do-hyeon’s mother-in-law was mourned.

‘Would you have killed all the eggs?’

The newly protruding armor ants were different from the young the queen ants had just laid.

It took the shape of an ant as if it had grown out of an egg.

However, it was not fully grown yet, so it was very small.

Apparently, he was lucky enough to survive when the armor ants trampled on the eggs.

luckily?

It was good luck for the young armor ant, but bad luck for Dohyun.

‘The probability of his death exploded again.’

Dohyun clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Again baby ants were born.

It was like falling over.

However, Do-hyeon only avoided the swarm of baby ants and armor ants that threatened him.

They were all low-level monsters that would die if you swing your sword a few times.

However, if you deal with them, there will be gaps.

Then the leg of the queen ant would crush Do-hyeon’s head.

Rather, Dohyun waited for the right time like a wild beast that hides in the bushes and hunts for its prey.

‘Come one more time.’

His eyes shone fiercely.

Eventually, as Do-hyun wished, a swarm of ants caught Do-hyeon.

Behind him, armor ants were aiming at him.

It was a dire situation.

The queen ant slammed her leg down as if timely.

bang!

“Now it’s over!”

Dohyun ran on the front legs of the queen ant stuck on the floor.

The size of the queen ant was so large that it was cumbersome to attack the vital point where she would put her sword.

Therefore, Do-hyeon waited for the queen’s big action.

Because hopefully he could take that loophole and kill the queen ant in one hit.

That thought was right.

Do-hyeon climbed the queen ant’s front legs and jumped over her head.

And he thrust his sword down as hard as he could.

Break up!

The black queen ant was nailed to the forehead.
