Chapter 39 - The Cannibal, Hermit!
A cold sweat drips Ban's cheeks as he recognizes the [Skill] being used by the small Red Rogue Termite.
The [Skill] Triple Snap should only be usable by the Hermit of the Red Termite's, Red Hermit Termite.
It was then he realized that the smaller one was not the weaker Termite and instead, it was actually the strongest of the two.
Red Hermit Termites are actually Lord Grade Termite Prince. They are considered as a failed evolution as they went down from being the Termite's prince to a Hermit.
However, in reality, only their Grade has been demoted and their strength stayed the same if not stronger than the Termite Prince.
The reason for their failed evolution was due to them practicing cannibalism.
According to the Book of Techniques, a Red Hermit Termite usually has a Rogue Red Termite as their bodyguard.
Ban should have known it already as according to the description for the Rogue Red Termite, they prefer to hunt alone.
He should have searched the Book of Techniques immediately the moment it appeared.
Ban no longer blamed himself, as he thought that the situation is not as bad as he thought it would be.
The Rogue Red Termite already has one of its legs damaged from Eva's Fluid Release, and the Red Hermit Termite also has its one leg fractured due to it using the Skill, Bullet Strike.
Ban did not stay idle any longer as he ordered Eva to summon her Royal Demon Ant Guard for extra help.
Eva did not linger any longer as she gathered her four arms in the middle and clasp them together as if in prayer.
The instant her hands touched each other, a portal suddenly materialized in front of her.
The portal enlarged itself and a while later, a Royal Demon Ant Guard jumped out of the portal hole.
It then turned around and prostrated in front of Eva.
Eva nodded her head and raised one of her hands to let the Guard stand up. The Guard stood up from the ground in four legs while the remaining two insect legs were raised in a battle stance after turning around to face their opponent.
Eva and the Guard stood against their opponents without fear even though they are smaller compared to the two Termites.
After all, size doesn't define strength and even the smallest mosquito could kill the largest Beast if given the opportunity.
"Eva, take your Guard and stall the Hermit, while I deal with the Rogue!"
Ban ordered as he immediately dashed towards the Rogue Red Termite.
However, even though he was an F-Apprentice Rank, Eva easily surpassed him with a flap of her wings.
Bam!
A deafening sound echoed as Eva punched the Res Hermit Termite right on its large head the moment she arrived in front of it.
Although the Hermit Termite is generally faster than the Rogue Red Termite itself, it still could not catch up with Eva's speed. Even more so now that she's in her Wrath state.
The Red Hermit Termite's huge head shook like there's no tomorrow due to the force exhibited by Eva. If it was any ordinary Red Termite, their huge head would have flown away from their thorax with that tremendous force.
The Guard followed closely behind Eva and the instant she finished her attack, the Guard hurriedly followed suit with a [Skill] Bite.
Putsik!
A portion of Hermit's stomach got bitten off by that bite, causing the Red Hermit Termite to cry in immense pain.
Eva also did not herself get behind as she flew down at quick speed before using the same Bite Skill towards the Red Hermit Termite.
Of course, due to her evolution, her Bite Skill packed a punch stronger than the Guard Ant.
The leg of the Red Hermit Termite which was supposed a lot harder due to the carapace surrounding it was actually bitten off quite easily.
On the other side, Ban and the Rogue Red Termite were also undergoing a fierce battle.
Although their battle was not as remarkable as that of the Lord Grade Eva and the Demoted Lord Grade Termite, it still has quite an impact on the two involved.
Ban is actually weaker than his enemy but due to him knowing the ins and outs of the Red Rogue Termites [Skills], moves and behavior, he could always outwit the Red Rogue Termite by one or even more steps ahead.
While the Rogue Red Termite was preparing for its [Skill], Ban would always intercept it in advance, canceling the preparations made by poor termite.
After a while, the Rogue Red Termite could not take it anymore as it sprawled to the ground, not in defeat, but due to frustration.
Ban smiles cheekily upon seeing the scene. He did not waste the opportunity as he hurriedly jumped towards the Termite and punched its head with a huge force to knock it out.
However, as if feeling the danger, the Rogue Termite immediately stood up and used a Skill called Dig. It was trying to dig a way down to escape.
Ban only smirked at its action and continued with his punch.
The thorax was hit causing the Red Termite's huge head and big belly to shake. Without waiting for the Termite to recover, Ban grasped its legs and raised it above his head.
Boom!
The Rogue Red Termite was lighter than he thought. Without any delay, his muscles bulged for a second before he smashed the Termite to the solid cave ground.
After a few smashed, the Termite finally snapped out.
Ban grinned at the scene and before he could get disrupted by anything else, he immediately bit his thumb to draw out blood from the wound.
With precise movements and elegance, Ban finished the mysterious symbol of the Blood Contractor Skill in an instant.
"Contract!"
The blood drawing glowed with intense light before dying down the next instant.
However, a huge smile surfaces on Ban's face as he reads the row of text appearing in front of his eyes.
[Congratulations! You have successfully contracted a Rogue Red Termite!
Due to the [Title] Almighty Summoner's effect, the Beast will have a 100% Loyalty towards you.
Due to your Realm Limitation, you could only have a Maximum of 2 Summon.
However, Due to having the Almighty Summoner Title, you can now contract a total of four Beast while still being in the Singular Realm. ]
