Novel Full 469 Time To Exterminate Some Pests

p-a- n-d-a-n-0-v-e-l、 The enormous tower made out of crystalized miasma erected all the way to the skies. We were all left rather flabbergasted the moment we saw such an enormous and intimidating structure. This thing was solely built for these vicious ants. If we ever let this slide and ignore them, those ants will use the route we had opened to invade the outside world and might even reach the other mountain where the dwarf country is located. If that happens… these monsters which are even stronger than the normal citizens might end up rampaging everything.
And even if they resist and fight, the number of Ants seem incredibly high, and it keeps increasing constantly to make things worse. Using my special phantasmal powers, I can see through physical objects. So I easily noticed a ton of eggs, like a good thousand of them being planted inside of living monsters they captured, mostly moles and big birds. The ants themselves are a lot, but not as many, probably over three hundred though. I don’t know if they die very quickly or this nest somehow just recently was created and they’re bringing eggs from somewhere else, I can’t see any Queen Ant here either.
Maybe this is something like a fortress for their colony? If that’s the case, the real colony might be in the next floor while they’re just building this second area to look out. Or maybe slowly expand their territory as they take over the monsters. Eventually, they’ll reach the first floor and then the outside world. Probably invade the entire mountain and continue moving forward without end.
We were currently gathered together behind all the trees, talking about what to do.
“That thing’s huge! How can we even do this?” Asked Takeshi.
“I wonder if my power could blast it into pieces if I touch it- No, it is too big, I can make things that are too big explode like that…” Sighed Laura. Her own powers seemed to have their own limits which were all based on her own stats, mostly the Magic and MP stats.
“We need to attack them in one single and overpowered move.” I said while rubbing my chin.
“A single attack?” Asked Emeraldine. “How?”
“Hmm… We first need to take their attention somewhere, they’re too powerful and will immediately attack us if they realize we are readying a powerful blast…” I said.
“Then I can take care of that with the rest of your Undead.” Said Lucifer. “Bring that giant salamander with me too, and the rest of the moles and birds you raised as Undead.”
“Are you sure?” I asked.
“Yeah. If they see my dragon form they’ll surely get scared and immediately react, that’ll give you some time. If we add the Undead army, it should work.” Said Lucifer. “How about it?”
“Hmmmm…”
I began to think.
If I put Lucifer to distract them with my army of Undead, then we’ll need to ready an attack strong enough to reach them from a long distance, something that could completely blast them into smithereens. Darkness or Chaos Magic… is not as effective against them because those are their primary elements to begin with, so we need something more special to kill them. Or well, to use what they’re the weakest against them… Holy Light Magic and Life Magic.
Emeraldine, interestingly enough, had all of such magics within herself. However, she’s not able to unleash too strong of a magic attack because she’s more of a mixed attacked that uses a bow, not a specializing magician. However, that can easily be offset if I give her a lot of Mana, over a hundred thousand Mana.
With the aid of her spirits, she might be able to pull out an incredibly powerful light attribute attack… However, we’ll also need the aid of Laura and Takeshi, their Unique Skills are very amazing and might help as well. After all, Takeshi’s unique skill allows him to easily pierce through solid objects and treat them as if they were water, and Laura can burst anything she touches, with the intensity and the limits of how much she can do based in her MP and Magic Stats.
And I… well, I’ll be bringing a ton of Mana, so much she won’t be able to complain about lacking the magical power necessary to unleash such a strong spell.
I quickly explained my plan to everybody, as they seemed to have found it to “make sense” to an extent, although everything depending on Emeraldine made her very nervous. Nonetheless, the plan was not without its flaws, but it was the best shot we had.
“So? How about it?” I asked.
“I… Well, fine. I’ll do it. I’ll do whatever I can. I’ll be trusting the rest of you to protect me until I get it done.” Said Emeraldine.
“Alright!”
And like that, our plan began. The first thing we did was settle down a ground for the incantation. Emeraldine had given me a lot of materials and magic items, and I had tons of ores inside my inventory. She said we could use them as catalyzers to enchant her magic even more. So I poured hundreds of ores around a magic circle she built in a matter of minutes. The ores in particularly didn’t seem to matter, but the richer they were in magic power, the better.
Of course, I didn’t wanted to sacrifice the ones I mined yesterday, but we used many of the ones we got from dropped items from the moles and the birds, which were almost a thousand each. Like that, piles and piles of ores appeared around Emeraldine. Even she lamented we would be sacrificing around 50% of what we had gotten through dropped items, but it was worth it if we wanted this to work properly, as she was envisioning it.
“Hm, it should be done… Now, we have to begin.” Emeraldine said, standing in the middle of the magic circle, while I remained behind her, infusing my Mana into her constantly, her enormous aura of light and life began to come out of her body, flashing beautifully…
