Kazuma hovered towards the injured guard ants while glancing at the undead skeleton knights to take another note of their restrained durability. From his observation, his allies, the so-called undead knights that Zoukar summoned, already lost most of their limbs and were shattered through and through.He realized they wouldn't be able to hold the ants any more than they did already. From these facts, Kazuma had to slay the ants before the undead get massacred gradually by the continuous strikes of the ants. Fortunately, he noticed the pierced spot on the ant's exoskeleton and took advantage of it.Kazuma gathered mana around him, and thanks to the boost Zoukar provided, his capacity to enhance his spell increased manyfold. He used [Fireball] while aiming at the ants' exposed spots because the tough exoskeleton could withstand the fire, but the soft exposed areas could easily incinerate.Flames appear in his mouth, and Kazuma notices the enhanced intensity of the magic. Normally, this s
When Zoukar invoked his magic while concentrating the undead mana around the charred guard ant corpses, suddenly some dark aura shrouded the carcasses. It reanimates and enthralls the corpses into standing again as slaves.Powered by the undead's mana, those beings seem stronger than their live counterparts. Kazuma could only observe with wide eyes and his jaw dropped from afar since they intimidated him more than before.He pondered with a wet brow, "The fuck is this magic! Those ants appear more robust and fierce than before, but their appearance has been compromised. They look like shit, but I guess this is the downside of being raised from death by an undead mage."After a momentary pause, Kazuma frowned and shuddered in panic, "Wait, does that mean I also have such poor looks? No, my body is something Zoukar considered divine, hence I should assume it's something better! I may get the chance to watch my figure before some reflecting surface, but this dark cave has nothing similar
Kazuma kept his gaze as he observed Zoukar boasting about his skills and magic. Although Zoukar's pride was obvious since he smashed the sturdy royal guard ants into a terrible condition through their own kin.He didn't even grant them enough time to ponder whether to mourn for their dead kin or pity them for the unwanted resurrection into something ominous. Even so, they had to fight it out either way since their loyalty lies only with the queen, and her life matters the most.Gradually, the thralls prevailed over the royal guard ants with their continuous outrage and assault. They wrecked the ants and smashed them into bloody minced meat, then shredded them at the end.However, the guards still retaliated with their might before going down to their end. At least they struck back and wounded the thralls enough to last them a tough time against the queen later, which was the last of the living of their kin and their top priority.Kazuma once again witnessed the trembling those ants di
Kazuma was dismayed and shook at the raw strength of the queen ant. A single swing of her limb shattered the thralls, who had enough strength and endurance to face the royal guard ants head-on in a face-off.This scene baffled and left Kazuma stunned while he hovered above Zoukar. He glanced at him to capture his reaction to this act that occurred against his powerful thralls. However, contrary to what he expected, he witnessed something entirely different.Zoukar had an inscrutable grin on his face as he watched his soldiers get smashed by the queen ant. He rubbed his chin and said in a slight voice, "Hmm, so she certainly had the strength to define her position in this dungeon. Her elegance and arrogance were backed by this strength; that must be why no one was ready to accept this quest!"Kazuma frowned and his brow twitched as he heard this specific statement from Zoukar. He got to know about the quest that Zoukar accepted from someone. Although Kazuma didn't know who and when Zou
Zoukar smirked when he noticed his soldiers surrounding the queen ant. Her dismayed and disturbing behavior was exciting for him. He stumped his staff again on the floor and cast something that shrouded him in intense dark mana.Those dark shadows creeping and mixing over the flaming aura shrouding Zoukar seemed more daunting than before. His figure was astounding and intimidating to even his allies.Although he had only one living ally among his undead supporters, even Kazuma felt haunted by that fact. Watching Zoukar use more and more new spells along with his elemental stone, he felt a new world before him.He gazed at the full show without missing even a slight glance and also kept his distance from Zoukar, who was using more threatening spells that even had the capability to destroy his own loyal allies.When Zoukar cast the new spell around him, the queen ant became even more restless than before. She began throwing tantrums and lashed out at the undead surrounding her. She thre
Kazuma shuddered at the scene before him. The flesh melting from the living queen ant could tremble anyone with a slight glance. Her screams shivered the small creature Kazuma inhabited since the view was torturous and horrific.His expressions become pale from the agony-filled noise resounding in the whole chamber. The chilled sweat trickled down his spine, and his whole body also became stunned while hovering above them.He glanced back at Zoukar to notice his reaction to the anguish the queen ant felt. According to his expectation, he witnessed Zoukar chuckling and being delighted by the suffering and torment the queen ant advertised.Not only that, but Zoukar ordered his leftover undead to resume their attack on the queen rather than backing off from the effect of the spell. He had no emotions regarding his soldiers or anything.Although the undead also took a toll due to the spell. Even their bones and flesh decayed and fell from the death aura, which even halted most of their mo
Kazuma swiveled around to search for the rewards, but there was nothing in sight before him. He was bewildered and dismayed at seeing nothing in his vision to be called rewards after conquering the dungeon.He was assuming the rewards would appear similar to games or comics he often used to play or read back on earth, and for this reason, he was eager to watch something similar appear before him in reality.However, there was nothing like that in his vision. More likely, it would be better to say the queen ant chamber was shrouded in an eerie silence after the douse of the flames on the queen ant. Only some slight giggles could be heard from Zoukar.When the confusion and rumblings in Kazuma’s head are heightened a lot, he then turns towards Zoukar for answers since only he can state where and how the reward would appear in the dungeon.Zoukar, on the other hand, was in his reverie beside the queen ant’s corpse, as if scrutinizing and analyzing it with precision. This baffled Kazuma e
Kazuma shifted his attention onto Zoukar to find whatever he was going to pull from his robe. The last time Zoukar shuffled a mess of his robe to reveal the elemental stone, hence the curiosity for another such artifact was intense.Kazuma concentrated on Zoukar’s actions and waited patiently, since last time it took him a long time to search for the elemental stone from his robe. To his surprise, Zoukar found his way very quickly this time.Zoukar chortled and exclaimed, "Haha! Now it's time for us to retreat from this fucking trashbin!" He took out a small pouch about the size of a pocket and chuckled. His expressions certainly pointed to that pouch as something special.Kazuma frowned and sighed with disappointment after a wide gaze at the pouch. He was eager to watch another amazing artifact, however, Zoukar advertised a small leather pouch that seemed somewhat worn out from continuous use.He pondered with a scowl, "What the hell? This bastard of a mage is displaying that worn an
