Chapter 448: A Deadly Ant!
—–
The moment I looked into the monster, which resembled a three-meter-tall humanoid black ant creature with bright red eyes, I saw an awfully annoyingly confusing Status when I checked it! It even hurt my head a little bit when I tried to peer into it! Just what is this thing?!

I stupidly checked its status again, only to get another strong headache, something that shouldn’t even be possible because I don’t even have ahead or a brain! Does peering at this monster’s status provoke some sort of response that damages the soul directly?
Ding!
[Due to constant [Erosion] Damage inflicted upon your Soul you have learned the [Erosion Resistance: Lv1] Skill]
Erosion Resistance?!
System, what is even happening?!
[I am not sure, but this monster doesn’t seem to be something you can appraise using your current powers… It immediately attempted to hurt your soul the moment you peered into its own Status, if you try this again, you’ll receive another hit and this time it might actually hurt you.]
Eh?!
[However, based in what it is emanating, this thing reeks like the secretion of the Fragment of the Evil God, the same sensation I felt when you fought Agatha is felt here…]
[Whatever this is, it is dangerous, be careful]
What…? A monster that has the power of the Fragment here? But I thought this was an abandoned dungeon deep in a mountain! Just what happened here?
“BZZZ… BBBTTZZZ…”
Suddenly, the ant creature began making a strange noise, the noise was strangely painful to hear that even my soul trembled. Lucifer, Emeraldine, and Partner instinctively stepped back, but that’s when it struck.
FLASH!
Moving at a speed that I was barely able to detect at all, the Ant Monster rushed towards Emeraldine, the weaker of the four of us, and pointed its hand at her chest.
CLAAASH!
“BBZZTT…?”
However, I managed to stop it in time, as I used [Shadow Teleportation] to reach Emeraldine’s position in time, stopping the monster’s arm.
“You bastard… what the fuck are you?!” I roared, quickly unleashing my wrath.
My darkness quickly emerged completely. I knew that if I held back against this monster, I would end up paying for it. Without a second of a doubt, I activated most of my Skills at once, as a storm of darkness, crackling black lightning, burning black fire, and even a deep, black void emerged within my chest, quickly absorbing the ant’s entire arm, and breaking it apart.
CRAASH!
“BBBBZZZZTTTTTT!”
The monster suddenly gave out an ear-piercing scream as wings emerged from its back and it quickly flew away from me. At the same time, I completely devoured its arm, as I suddenly felt like I munched on solid miasma and Demonite crystal at once with some bug juice and other parts of bugs. The flavor, however, was almost completely miasma.
What is this thing?!
“You’re not getting away!”
Lucifer roared, quickly unleashed several blades created out of phantasmal flames and darkness, and firing them at the ant as it flew over the ground.
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
“BBBZZZ!”
However, the ant quickly responded by waving its legs, in mere seconds, the wind barrier was broken as enormous shockwaves of darkness and miasma were unleashed, hitting all of us at once and shaking the earth below.
TRUUUUMMM…!
“W-What with this power?!” Asked Partner in surprise.
“Uaggh…!” Emeraldine tried to protect herself with her light barrier, but the barrier quickly began to melt away against the miasma.
“Living Armors! Come!”
I summoned my Living Armors without doubting, equipping both over Emeraldine and Partner, making them almost immune to Miasma, as such living armors were able to absorb them.
“Hahh… T-Thanks.” Emeraldine sighed. “This is Miasma, isn’t it?” She wondered.
“It is exactly that.” Lucifer muttered, as his body was bleeding through a large wound which was already festering with miasma infecting it.
“Lucifer!” Partner cried in surprise, as she suddenly flew to his side alongside a phantom clone of mine. We swiftly healed him, cutting his wound’s rotten parts, and then combining Partner’s blood Magic with Undead Healing to fully recover his wound.
The ant, however, seemed completely aggressive, and immediately attempted to fight back once more. The insect raised its hands into the sky and suddenly began to gather enormous quantities of miasma, even with a missing arm, it still had another three to use!
FLUOOSH!
The miasma gathered together and then materialized into a large spear. The Chaotic Spear, as I called it, began to unleash an enormously dense aura of pure obscurity, as the ant monster pointed the spear towards us and then fired it without delay.
FLASH!
The spear flew at an incredible speed. Calculating its power through mere senses, I could easily tell this thing could generate an explosion that would cover most of this Floor’s space! I couldn’t let that just land in front of us.
“Not so fast!”
In an instant, I flew into the skies as I transformed into a mass of flies and darkness, catching the enormous spear with my Phantasmal Stomach, and using Abyss Eater to devour it whole.
CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH!
It was incredibly hard to munch, and the enormous quantities of miasma it had were constantly distorting the interior of my soul! However, I was managing, and quickly devoured it in less than a split of a second.
FLASH!
A second after, I emerged right behind the ant who was left flabbergasted after seeing what I did. And mercilessly held it with my shadow tentacles, pulling it down into the abyss of my soul.
“You’re not getting away!”
“BBZZZZ…!”
The furious ant began fighting against me as much as it could, its legs kicked me constantly. Each kick felt as if my soul was shattering, but I gritted my teeth and constantly healed my soul using Undead Healing, as I continued to pull the ant into my Phantasmal Stomach, within the deep void inside of me.
[Ultimate Skill: Yog-Sothoth]!
TRUUUUMMM…!
As I activated my Ultimate Skill, the black void grew larger and all-encompassing, capturing the bastard completely and beginning to tear it apart piece by piece.
“Die, you bastard!”
“BBZZZ…!”
