Chapter 180

Ch . 180 Bullet Siege

The red ants come charging in from my left, right, and directly in front of me . Since they’re no longer grouped together, it’s going to take more time to fire off [[Kamaitachi]] to stop each of them . Don’t these guys seem to cooperate too well?

I hightail it out of there, occasionally turning around to fire off [[Kamaitachi]] at them . I repel the [[Clay Gun]] that I can’t avoid with my tail and wings instead . Receiving some damage is unavoidable . As long as I don’t get hit on my torso, the damage won’t be anything too serious . I also have [[Rest]] now .

The fourth ant, which has taken multiple blows from my [[Kamaitachi]], gets up and starts running towards me again . Shit, guess I should’ve finished it off even though that seemed a bit excessive . A four-on-one shootout is going to be fairly hard . These guys, they have the nerve to use their numbers to their advantage to shoot right at my weak points!

I’m struck with [[Clay Gun]] from my left, right, and behind almost simultaneously . Ugh, in perfect sync? If I’m too eager and rush in, I’ll be exposing too many openings . I skilfully avoid the one coming from behind me and deal with the ones coming from my left and right with my wings and tail respectively .

The situation is not looking too good right now . Should I consider using [[Roll]] temporarily to shake them and regain my bearings? No, I have a lot of MP and HP this time . If I simply continue whittling them down like this with hardly any results, I won’t be in time for the day of the execution . Over time, this waste of stamina will hurt .

There’s currently quite a lot of space between each red ant . If I’m dealing with a single target, I can use a powerful skill to crush them . This scene could be the deciding moment of our bout . If I can crush just one, then only three would remain . The situation would improve considerably . Even though I’m going to take damage, it would be worth it to beat down one of them .

I ball my limbs up and transition to [[Roll]] . Believing that I’m planning to escape, the ants increase their pace . I swerve heavily and charge towards the red ant that’s trying to cut me off from the right side .

“Kuchaaa!”

The red ant fires its [[Clay Gun]] straight at me . Although I could avoid it, that would be time lost . The other red ants come running over . That will be troublesome . Increasing my rotational speed, I fling off the red sand bullets flying towards me .

And with that momentum, I send the red ant flying . The red ant is knocked backwards considerably, and I hasten my pursuit . That’s one hit! Now for the second! I follow up by tackling the red ant that is now in floating in midair . The red ant’s forelegs are mangled and part of its body is crushed .

“Gudji!!”

The defeated red ant spits out body fluids from its mouth, falling to the ground onto its back . I mercilessly roll right over it .

[416 experience points obtained] [Title Skill [[Walking Egg: Lv -]] activated, 416 bonus points obtained] [Level of [[Evil Plague Dragon]] has increased from 57 to 59 . ]

Yeah, first one down! Now this’ll get much easier .

Even though it couldn’t be helped, I focused too much on a single ant .

“Kucha!” “Kucha!” “Kuacha!”

While I was concentrating on bringing down the first red ant, the other red ants have surrounded me . It would seem that they’re going to shoot at me with [[Clay Gun]] from three directions .

The momentum of [[Roll]] has decreased sharply after colliding with the red ant multiple times . I have to accelerate again and regain my distance . With enough speed, I can fling off the sand bullets and suppress the damage done to me .

As soon as I attempt to increase my rotation speed, my body slips and falls down . Did the ground cave in? No, did they alter the terrain by using [[Clay]] to shift the sand? Does that mean that the narrow vision and linear trajectory of [[Roll]] is going to give me trouble?

Should I use [[Roll]] to force through my escape just like this? Nah, I think I’ll try flying once again . I prefer it .

As soon as I stop rotating, three [[Clay Gun]] projectiles come flying towards me with no grace period for me to get into position . I can’t avoid them . I can only knock them down with my tail and protect myself with my wings . I point my wings and tail frontward and prepare to intercept them .

Hold on, I heard three sounds, but there are only two projectiles? Despite that thought, I defend myself against the first shot with my wing and knock down the second shot with my tail . From within the shadow of the second shot, the third sand bullet appears .

Oh, now you’ve done it .

I put my arm in front of me and attempt to repel the bullet with my claws . However, the sand bullet slips over my claws, jumping straight for my chest .

“Guuo!”

I take a sand bullet to my chest . The shot has considerable power behind it, but I can’t afford to lose focus . If I get distracted by the pain, then I’m going to be violently killed like a plaything . I’ll end up just like Big Scissor-senpai . I kick off the ground, escaping from the depression in the sand left by the red ants’ [[Clay]] .

Maybe it’s because I overused my wings in guarding myself, but I can’t fly as well as I usually can . It’ll be all over for me if I lose my posture while in mid-air . I hastily land and hit the ground running on all fours .

“Kuchaa!” “Kucha!” “Kuchaaa!”

As usual, they’ve surrounded me on three sides while running parallel with me . I want to at least use [[Flight]] to get out of this formation .

One by one, I use [[Kamaitachi]] to repress them while I run . The red ants should be steadily growing weaker . They aren’t shooting [[Clay Gun]] as much now . They’re out of MP, huh . It’s because they kept firing off skills like crazy even though their max MP isn’t that high .

It was dangerous, but I can see that the ants will soon reach their limit . The ant that’s running behind and to the right of me gets struck by [[Kamaitachi]] and collapses to the ground onto its back . I thought that last one was a blow that it could avoid; was it at its physical limit too?

[400 experience points obtained] [Title Skill [[Walking Egg: Lv -]] activated, 400 bonus points obtained] [Level of [[Evil Plague Dragon]] has increased from 59 to 60 . ]

Did you die? You hung on pretty well . There aren’t many ants that could take on a dragon to this extent . At least, I had not seen something like this in my previous life . Not that I remember much, but that much I can affirm . If such ants existed, Earth would be ruined .

Well, there are only two remaining? I consider using [[Roll]] again to put some more distance between us, but if it’s only these two, I can beat them and win in the usual manner . I could take them out immediately .

Yeah, both their HP and MP are practically gone . I want to limit wasting my own MP as much as possible . Should I stop attacking while running away and instead try to finish them at once?[1]
