196 - Since It's Not Possible To Go From Above, Then Let's Go From Below
----------
Desert Queen Ant's Egg.
Jin looked at the transparent object shaped like an egg in his palm.
This was the first time he got something like this. And it also mentions a class that doesn't exists in this world.
If a Beast Tamer were to get his hands on this thing, he would be able to hatch a Desert Queen Ant.
With a queen ant, an untold number of ants can be raised.
Now combined biomass of ants on the planet, which is 12 million tons and they are just normal tiny ants, now imagine an army of ants in which a single ant is bigger than a human.
In simplest word one could have an army of ants comparable to be and even upon death of the ant queen a new queen could be selected.
So long as the Beast Tamer controls the queen ant, the ants will be at his beck and call.
Although the ranm of the Desert Queen Ant isn't high, but the level of tamed beasts can be increased.
Jin believes that this thing should be quite valuable.
He can do some research once he's back.
As for the gold rank equipment, they are dispensable to him.
That means they can be exchanged for something that isn't many but has value. After all the money dispensed for me I am the richest man in the world.
One minute after the queen ant was killed, the Shadow infantry Warriors were done picking up the corpse as all corpses disappeared into his inventory, revealing a passage.
The Shadow infantry Warriors ran into the passage first.
After entering the ant colony, they have been advancing downward.
The passage, on the other hand, leads upward.
There were no monsters in the passage. After a while, sunlight emerged again.
The cool refuge of the underground gave way to the relentless assault of scorching heat. Jin could feel the searing temperatures draining his health points ever so gradually, a result of the debilitating debuff afflicting him.
Yellow sand extending without end materialized once more.
It's hotter here than on the other side, as if the place were a grill.
Behind the exit, there is a steep cliff with trees.
A mountain separates the dungeon in two.
To arrive here, you must cross the ant colony.
It has been 5 hours since Jin entered the dungeon.
This dungeon is too large. Too much time has been wasted on searching the path.
The Shadow Warriors quickly moved forward. They must hurry.
The longer time drags on, the lower the chance I will be taking part in the Jeju island raid.
Suddenly, a beam of light dropped and landed on Jin.
The Shield Skill emitted dazzling white light to block the attack.
The attack was very strong, so Jin's mana was rapidly draining away. As every 250 damage was blocked 500 mana was gone.
Jin was startled, then quickly retreated.
Thereupon, the beam hit the desert, and sand exploded into the air.
Then came another beam.
The Shadow Soldiers quickly formed a wall to protect him. As Iron and Susanoo came forward Iron put his huge shield above his Lord's head while Susanoo quickly actived his trump card as just after that the disk behind d his back flew above Jin's head and expanded to its limit as he used his reflection move Mirror of Yata.
Looking in the direction the beams came from, Jin saw the attacker.
It's a monster that he has never seen before.
The monster floated about 10 meters above the ground.
Its shape is that of a huge ball, about two meters in diameter.
In the middle of the ball, there is an eye. The eye occupies 80% of the monster's body
It is roughly 100 meters away.
It launched an attack from a long distance. Furthermore, it didn't target the shadows, but attacked Jin himself.
This monster is a bit interesting.
When their master was attacked, the Shadows rushed over at once.
After attacking twice and seeing that it was of no use, the monster turned around and fled.
The Shadow Mages launched attacks. And aerial Shadows sore the sky try to catch it
Without giving it a chance to escape, the aerial Shadows unleashed an overwhelming offensive.
At the same time, Jin was able to get its info.
[Leygazer (super enhanced elite monster)]
[Skill: Flare, Solar Beam, Heat waves]
""It's a Mage-type monster, defying conventional physics by effortlessly floating without wings or any known flying skill," Jin observed, intrigued by the creature's unusual abilities.
Seeing the high rank monster, Jin realized that this monster belongs to the Mage category.
Mage-type monsters are quite common. But this is the first time he has seen such a pure Mage-type monster.
Compared to ordinary monsters of the same level, its strength attribute is not up to par.
It looks as if its mana attribute was maximized.
The power of the Solar Beam is indeed quite considerable.
With just one strike for 2 seconds, it almost drained 7000 mana.
The key point is that it can fly and launch attacks from 100 meters away.
And when it finds that its attacks are ineffective, it can run away.
This shows that it's really not easy to deal with this monster.
However, there are many Mages and Ariel unites under Jin's command, and the attack power they can unleash is scary.
Under a round of concentrated Ariel unites, the Leygazer was killed in an instant.
[Killed level Leygazer, EXP +7,000]
[Obtained elementary Leygazer core]
[Elementary Leygazer core: a magic item that Alchemists can use to refine items and Formation Master can use to lay formations]
Jin took a glance at the Leygazer core and then put it away.
This thing seems quite useful, but its rank is too low.
Anything that is elementary rank is basically used below level 40.
Once it exceeds level 40, it is considered intermediate rank.
Above level 70, it is classified as advanced rank.
Generally speaking, except for some special items, anything that is of elementary rank won't be too valuable.
After going through this experience, Jin began to pay attention to the sky.
The Shadow Army also paid attention to the sky as they advanced.
Soon, a huge construction appeared in sight.
It looks like a castle.
Outside the castle, there are huts arranged in an array.
It's a military camp, with numerous Beastmen moving about.
In the military camp, there is even a drill ground, where military formations are practiced.
Jin started to understand the meaning behind the word Sazardon.
It means king.
The monsters in the military camp have a lion head, a body covered in fur, and a height of more than three meters.
They are wearing armor, and their movements are orderly, looking quite imposing.
These aren't scattered monsters that can be easily taken down one by one.
Here, if you aren't careful, you will have to face more than 10 monsters at the same time.
These are no ordinary monsters, but super enhanced elite monsters.
They are more powerful than monsters of the same rank in A+ rank dungeons.
Even if it's a party of high rank of 40, they will find it very challenging to deal with them.
And it will require good cooperation, top-notch equipment, and comprehensive skills.
Unless…
Unless it's someone like Jin or Esdeath, who can crush anything in their way with absolute brute force.
The Shadow Infantry Warriors initiated a charge but this time they were joined by High Orc Warriors and Beast Shadows.
The Shadow Mages and Long Distance Unitue followed closely behind.
So did the aerial Unites as in a flash the Leygazers floating above the military camp discovered the black tide that was rushing towards them.
A warning was immediately issued. The gate of the military camp opened, and a troop of more than 200 individuals rushed out.
This is a gameplay that is characteristic of Jin.
At this time, he wondered what others would have done in his place.
They would probably first have a long-range class user draw over the Leygazer and then eliminate it.
Then gradually eliminate the monsters in the military camp.
After all, facing the Beastman army directly like him would be stupid of him even if he overwhelmed them.
Jin forged ahead together with the Skeletal Mages and released Detection.
[Desert Lionman Warrior (super enhanced elite monster)]
[Skills: Weapon Mastery]
Compared to the flying ants, the Lionman Warriors have much higher strength and agility.
The high strength and agility greatly enhances their combat power.
Combined with their weapon mastery, they made the best Warriors.
On the other hand, their physique is lower than that of the ants, only around B++ rank.
Unlike the ants, they have no carapace protecting their body.
Seeing the armor they were wearing, in the heat of this scorching sun felt that the B++ rank of physique may be a bit exaggerated.
Before the Shadow army and the Lionman Warriors collided, the skills of the Shadow Mages had already arrived.
Skill: Flame Burst!
Skill: Frozen Tempest!
Skill: Cyclone Storm!
Skill: Thunderstruck!
Fire, ice, wind, lightning, skills of the four elements rained down on the Lionmen.
There are both single target and AOE attacks.
With their extremely high mana attribute, the attack power of the Shadow Mages' skills is even higher than that of the Shadow Infantry Warriors.
Under a round of concentrated fire, several Lionman Warriors collapsed to the ground.
At this time, Jin raised his palm.
[Force Explosion!]
Following a loud blast, the vicinity was cleared.
[Killed Desert Lionman Warrior, EXP +9,500]
[Obtained Lionman leather x5]
Within a range of 60 meters, no Lionman Warrior was able to survive.
EXP soared like a rocket on meth.
Lionman Warriors continued to pour out of the military camp, but they couldn't stop Jin's advance.
No matter how many of them come, they are but lambs to the slaughter.
Suddenly, a corpse was thrown into the air.
Subsequently, it was detonated.
The Leygazer, which had been floating in the air that was getting on the nerves of the aerial units due to their small size and fast speed, was killed on the spot and fell with bangs.
Regarding Force Explosion, Jin finds it more comfortable the more he uses it. As he felt the spell was quite overpowered and was becoming one of his favourite spells.
He has a feeling that the skill will level up after a few more uses.
The Shadow Beazts barged into the military camp without a care for the Lionman Warriors inside and unleashed a massacre.
In an instant, the monsters in the military camp were wiped out.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Arrows fell like rain from the sky.
A large number of Archers appeared on the castle's outwall.
[Desert Lionman Archer (super enhanced elite monster)]
[Skill: Trueshot, Headshoat, Bowman]
The Shadow Warriors brandished their blades and blocked the arrows that were as densely packed as raindrops. While the beasts directly took head on as the arrows just did some massive damage but all was healed within nanoseconds.
While a huge force field was in front of Jin as Tusk used the Hymn of Protection so not even a single arrow came to him.
The castle's outwall is 50 meters high. The Shadow Warriors jumped up and then climbed up the outwall.
But the arrows possess formidable attack power. Despite several attempts, the Shadow Warriors were still repelled halfway.
Standing below the outwall, the Shadow Mages, Archers and Gunslingers began to engage the Archers.
Different spells, Icy arrows, bullets and beams erupted and killed the Archers one after another.
However, there were more Archers filling the gaps.
The dead Archer collapsed on the outwall. Since his sight was blocked, Jin was unable to lock on them and use Force Explosion.
A teeny tiny weakness of Force Explosion.
The best way to breach a castle is to break through from the gate.
Some Shadow Warriors have already rushed to the front of the gate and chopped with their large blades.
The gate is very sturdy, holding firmly against the attacks.
The rain of arrows coming from the outwall never stopped.
The Shadow Warriors gathered in front of the gate and attacked it without stopping.
As if building a human pyramid, the Shadow soldiers stood on the shoulders and heads of one another and attacked the gate with all their might.
The Long Range Team and the Shadow Mages are divided into two groups.
The lightning- and fire-type Shadow Mages attacked the gate together with the Skeletal Warriors.
The wind- and ice-type ShadowMages attacked the Lionman Archers on the outwall with the support of arieal and Long range units. Due to their respective range and AOE attack skills, they are most suited for the job.
If other people were to see Jin attack the gate in this fashion, they would definitely laugh at him.
After all, there are items specialized for attacking city gates, making things much easier.
Of course, Jin's approach is not unfeasible.
It was very brutish.
But it's an arduous undertaking.
And there's still the rain of arrows.
If it were ordinary class users instead, it would have resulted in heavy casualties.
Only the immortal Shadow Warriors, with their super high physique, can brave the rain of arrows and attack the gate.
Gradually, Jin felt that something wasn't right.
"This isn't right."
"I have expended so much effort. If it were other class users, let alone 40 people, even 100 people wouldn't be able to unleash as much destructive power as me."
But that Damm gate didn't budge even when faced with my strongest and fastest Shadows.
Gate didn't budge even when Akame tried her sword; it only left a few marks on it.
And this looked like it was her pride as up until now she hasn't encountered anything that can't be chopped off using her sword.
Just from this Jin knee there must be some kind of stick specific scenario to open the gate.
After figuring this out Jin didn't want to play a long game.
'Well if we can't figure out the stick we will out DPS it.'
"Since it's not possible to go from above, then let's blow up the gate!"
"If this gate is hungry for DPS, then we're more than willing to feed it." Jim said with a grin as his shadow expand as next a huge shadow loomed over the castle that turned even the huge castle of 50 meters high into nothing but a small Safety Barricade used to black the road in front of his massive 500 meters size.
And soon as the Lionman archers looked at the huge black thing that was blocking the sun they were so shocked and afraid that they forgot to fire the arrows.
"Alright, Big Dude, it's your turn, but remember not to go overboard. We don't want another loss like last time." Jin said as he turned to look at the massive shadow known as Guardian.
Guardian was eager to lend a hand, especially since he and his equally massive friend, Typhoon, seldom had the opportunity to join battles due to their immense size.
The last time they had truly participated in a battle was during the "Angel's Layer," which felt like just a few hours ago, though in reality, it had been many long hours. They envied their comrades who often got to experience the thrill of battle alongside their lord. However, their lord had always approached warfare with strategy and cunning, rather than brute force or overwhelming numbers, a testament to his kingly aspirations and commitment to learning how to effectively wield his army despite their immortality.
"With just a simple nod, Guardian unleashed a torrent of power, directing his index finger toward the gate. In an instant, a massive, red-hot plasma beam erupted, disintegrating everything in its path. Corpses turned to vapor, sand solidified into glass for a hundred meters around, and the gate itself exploded upon contact, as if it were made of gunpowder. Even the surrounding walls succumbed to the onslaught, crumbling under the force of the attack.
After witnessing the destruction, Jin turned to the Guardian and spoke."
"You know, a gentle nudge would have done the trick, but I suppose a bit of grandeur never hurt anyone. Sometimes you just need to let off some steam, right?" Jin said after seeing the guy was pretty happy with his performance.
