章 2: Demon Ant Queen

"W. What now?"

"What did you just say? The Queen's Chamber? Now I am almost certain that you are trying to get me killed…"

Although he expected that he was now at the core area of the Demon Ants Lair, he didn't consider even for a second that he would be able to reach the Demon Ant Queen's Chamber just like that.

According to what he heard from the adventurers, the Demon Ant Queen Chamber was supposed to be a secret location. And even if one managed to luckily find it, they should not even think for a second about entering the chamber with less than ten people as it would be straight-up suicide.

Not to mention the queen, even the Queen Guards was already extremely strong.

Ban gulped a mouthful of saliva as he was considering again if he should return before it was too late.

However, right at that moment, the transparent row of text suddenly turned vibrant allowing him to see the threatening countdown of the mission as well as the 'threat' of gaining immediate death the moment he ever turned back.

Though reluctant, Ban still forced himself to search for the button leading to the Demon Ants Queen Chamber.

The countdown before the mission had long gone past half an hour and Ban was already starting to sweat buckets.

Just as the countdown reached the 19:59 mark, Ban somehow got lucky as he managed to push a certain spot on the wall.

Clang! Clang!

Churning sounds reached Ban's ear as he witnessed a part of the wall slowly sliding off somewhere.

After a full minute, a huge door appeared in front of him.

Phew!

Wiping the trepidation rolling down his neck, Ban didn't waste any more time as he nervously stepped inside the Demon Ant Queen's Chamber.

At the same time, the row of text appeared again with a different content this time.

[Step 4: Kill the Demon Ant Queen and take the unhatched Demon Ant Egg! ]

"What the hell are you talking about? I am not even at the Mortal Rank yet and you expect me to kill a Demon Ant Queen that is said to be two levels higher? Come on, stop this nonsense already." Ban complained in a hushed voice, afraid of alerting the 'Demon Ant Queen and its Queen Guards'.

[18:59]

"Jeez! Alright! Alright!"

Ban glanced around and spotted a huge rock at the side of the sliding door.

Before coming to the periphery of this Beast-filled forest, Ban didn't bring anything as he straightly went here after knowing that he couldn't summon a single monster. Now that he was able to think of it, he couldn't help but shake his head in self-disappointment.

His aim upon coming here was to train his body and become a warrior, just like those untalented summoners who only managed to summon the weakest of monsters.

He took the rock and held it firmly in his hand.

The Demon Ant Queen Chamber only has one path available on it. Ban guessed that it would probably directly lead him straight to the Queen and its Guard.

The Demon Ant Queen Chamber was spacious. Pillars of rock could be seen everywhere supporting the high-rise ceiling.

After a minute, Ban suddenly heard a squirming noise ahead of him.

Using the stone pillars around him, Ban stealthily approaches the noise.

'That's the Demon Ant Queen? Strange, where are the Queen Guards?' He observed left and right and noticed that aside from a huge Demon Ant the size of a person and some broken Demon Ant Eggs around it, the place was devoid of any other things.

'Eh? That Demon Ant is dying?' Ban exclaimed as he noticed the weak Demon Ant sprawling white bubbles on the withered-grass-filled ground.

He approached the dying Demon Ant slowly and just as what he had guessed, it was really dying. The Demon Ant only stared at him weakly without moving a single hair on its body.

"This… This is the Queen?" Surprise and bewilderment were all over Ban's brain as he stared at the 'crown' located on the Demon Ant's head.

The crown was a symbol of status for the Demon Ants. If a crown was present, it just means that the said Demon Ant was the Demon Ant Queen.

Ban couldn't believe that a Demon Ant Queen was dying in front of him.

Not to mention…

[Step 4: Kill the Demon Ant Queen and take unhatched Demon Ant Egg! ]

'Was it a coincidence or you already know from the start?'

"Jeez! Then why didn't you tell me so earlier?"

[...

Kill the Demon Ant Queen or Die! ]

"Jeez! Alright! Alright!"

Ban didn't think about it anymore as he raised the rock he was holding up in the air.

Of all the things he owned, Ban was very confident about his strength. Even before he arrived at the city, his physique was already trained to the core by his 'gramps'.

He was more muscular and robust compared to boys of the same age as him. As a world filled with monsters and beasts, having great physical ability was not something to be proud of.

Summoned Monsters and Wild Beasts will be able to tear you apart no matter how strong your body is. At least, that's what Ban knew from the adventurers' talk.

Bam!

Squashed!

Bam!

Squashed!...

Break!

After a couple of smashes, the rock he was holding broke into pieces after being in contact with the Demon Ants Queen's hard carapace.

However, Ban was already grateful to the rock's service as it had already served its purpose.

[A Demon Ant Queen has been killed...]

He felt it was surreal. A normal human like him was able to slay a Demon Ants Queen that is two levels higher.

Although it was already dying from the start, he should be able to brag about it for the rest of his life. If someone would believe, no one knows.

And as for feeling guilty about killing the defenseless Demon Ant Queen? Ban never felt it.

This kind of beast was labeled as a Demon for a reason.

The moment they see a person or any entity that was not part of their lair, the Demon Ants would directly storm and devour that entity in seconds without any kind of warning.

章 3: New Skill

[You have slain the Demon Ants Queen.

Search and obtain the unhatched Demon Ant Egg!

]

[10:33]

Ban saw the change of the row of words in front of him. He didn't waste any more and started to search for the said unhatched Demon Ann Egg frantically.

Usually, the Demon Ants Queen would lay thousands upon thousands of Demon Ant Eggs at the same time in the Demon Ants Queen Chamber or some people also referred to them as the Breeding Chamber as it was there where the Queen would lay its eggs.

Another fearsome nature of the Demon Ants was also their Queen's ability to reproduce multiple offspring at the same time. That is why if not necessary, adventurers would often avoid them as far as possible.

The Breeding Chamber that Ban was at right now was also filled with countless eggs laid in every corner by the Demon Ant Queen that he just killed. There were eggs latching on the walls, ceilings, and even some were buried underneath the ground.

However, all of the eggs that Ban saw were either broken or had hatched already. In other words, they were all just empty eggshells.

However, considering what the row of text had stated on the mission steps, there should be at least one Demon Ant Egg that was still unhatched.

The problem Ban was facing right now was his inability to find that one unhatched egg from this thousand of hatched ones.

[6:50]

The mission time was decreasing steadily as well as the cold perspiration that flowed down Ban's forehead.

"Where is it? Hey, can I have some clue? At Least use that arrow and point where the egg was located?" He inquired to the row of text that had become transparent for him to see.

"No? Come on man, just tell me its direction just like how you let the arrow point the Demon Ant Queen?-"

"Ehh? Wait… Right, the Demon Ant Queen!" He exclaimed in excitement as he dashed towards the corpse of the Demon Ants Queen located at the center of the Breeding Chamber.

The Demon Ants Queen was as big as an adult. The majestic crown that once sat upon its forehead had already been broken and deformed due to Ban smashing it with the huge rock earlier.

Ban approached the Demon Ant Queen and slowly rolled its body to the side. With Ban's raw strength, it was not a problem for him to move objects bigger and heavier than him.

"I knew it! Jeez, so you were here all along…" Ban commented as he saw the reddish fist-size egg situated underneath the Demon Ants Queen's belly.

"So it was already wounded? Who could it be? They must be one hell of a strong being." Ban remarked after seeing the bloody gush on the Demon Ant Queen's stomach.

From what he could observe, Ban guessed that the wound must have come from a sword or something very sharp. The Demon Ants Queen's carapace also acted as its armor, so a normal blade won't be able to scratch it at all.

The Demon Ants carapace could also be sold in the market and blacksmiths would use them as material to make armors.

However, as precious as it was, Ban would not dare to take the Demon Ants Queen carapace.

He wouldn't be able to protect it until reaching the market and not to mention, he was also not sure if the person who made the wound on the Queen's belly would come back to take the corpse.

If he took the carapace, he would surely spill doom to himself.

After setting aside the Demon Ant Queen's body, Ban crouched and picked up the reddish Demon Ant Egg on the ground.

He noticed some discrepancy on the egg compared to the others that were already hatched, but since it was his first time seeing one, he was not sure what they would normally look like.

Anyway, the moment his finger touched the reddish egg, the row of text suddenly changed again.

[Step 4: Completed!

Step 5: Sign a contract with the unhatched Demon Ant Egg using the Blood Contractor Skill!]

[You gained a new Skill: Blood Contractor!]

"Huh? I gained a skill? Is this for real? You must be kidding me!" Ban berated after reading the new row of words that appeared.

Ban didn't and couldn't believe what the row of words was saying. After all, a [Skill] could only be obtained by the most gifted one and of course the most wealthy.

According to what he heard from the adventurers, those [Skills] are obtained from slaying wild beasts. Certain wild beasts have the chance to manifest it. After killing a wild beast, one must use a certain method to extract the [Skills].

If one doesn't want the [Skill] that they have obtained, they could still sell it on the special markets for sky-high prices.

'Wait… This row of words never lied since earlier! Maybe...?'

"Uhmm… Is that true? If it is, then, can you show me the [Skill] and how to use it?"

[Skill: Blood Contractor

A skill provided by the System for the future Almighty Summoner.

A 100% chance to contract a beast on the same level.

A 80% chance to contract a beast one level higher.

A 100% loyalty from the contracted monster.

0/3 ]

[Mission: Last Step:

Use the [Skill] Blood Contractor and contract the unhatched Demon Ant Egg! ]

As the row of words stopped updating its content, a sudden influx of information suddenly assaulted Ban's mind.

It was the arrival of the [Skill], Blood Contractor.
