The Bird Monster was crushed.
What kind of unit are you operating, Ant Monster?
The combat power is evenly distributed.
It’s adjusted to match the Bird Monster’s fluctuations of the front line during offense and defense.
If they advance, the other front lines retreat.
If they retreat, they hold their ground.
The Bird Monster’s combat individuals were heavily depleted by such Ant Monster tactics.
Finally, it died with a squawk, its neck being squeezed, emitting the death throes of a bird.
*Click click*
“Click click click! Click click click!”
The Ant Monster took the Bird Monster’s seedbed individual.
And produced combat individuals at double the rate.
Even knowing the Rabbit Monster would conduct guerrilla warfare.
It assumed a posture of launching an attack with its combat power fully prepared.
The Rabbit Monster sensed the Ant Monster’s stance.
It made lids for hermit crab shells and dug trenches, overworking the combat individuals as they were created, preparing for the Ant Monster’s offensive.
“Click click! Click, click click!”
“Kii—! Kii, kiiy!”
The final stage.
Both sides exchanged their grandiose introductions.
Having sufficiently said all they wanted to say.
The Ant Monster advanced with its king’s formation.
The Rabbit Monster immediately retreated to the depths of its own territory? with all its might.
Other than the fact that their hiding spots were obvious.
There was no fear or impatience about where the ambushers were.
The Ant Monster’s combat individuals marched in unison, step by step, dealing with enemy soldiers who suddenly attacked from the ground.
“Kiiyi! Kiiyi!”
On the Rabbit Monster’s orders.
A surprise attack unit burst out from a far-off hole.
Their target was the Ant Monster’s main camp.
The Ant Monster saw this and recalled its rear guard units.
Click click! Click click.
From above, it looked like the Ant Monster’s forces would link up first.
Entering the interior and with a short interval.
The Rabbit Monster’s surprise attack unit collided.
They were overwhelmingly outnumbered.
They were repelled in just a few minutes.
“Kiiiyiiiiiiiiiiii!!!”
Seeing the surprise attack fail, the Rabbit Monster, from a slightly elevated position, was crying out in frustration.
It sent all its remaining combat individuals to charge, and joined them itself.
The Ant Monster saw this and spread its units to the left and right,
welcoming the Rabbit Monsters,
and gradually crushing them from both sides.
The Rabbit Monster, despite its proud legs, could not break through the encirclement before it was formed.
It glared at the Ant Monster, which stood defiantly, and died by a bite from the side.
“…………”
The Ant Monster seemed to be urging the remaining enemies to surrender.
It loosened its encirclement and engaged in what sounded like a conversation, clicking several times.
The combat individuals followed the orders of their commander individual.
They focused on the annihilation of their commanding individual.
Some executed the Rabbit Monster’s last order and were crushed from three directions by twice their number.
The rest, as if to obey the Ant Monster’s instructions from now on, prostrated themselves on the ground.
Click click click!
“Click click click…!!”
They raised a victory cry, signaling the end of the war.
The first trial of蠱毒 (kōdoku – poisonous insects, a trial of strength) concluded.
Returning to my physical body.
I appeared before the Ant Monster.
With the magic power I released from my body, the Ant Monster and its subordinates, who now knew I was the Creator, performed the knight’s salute, kneeling on one knee.
“Well done for surviving.”
Whether my words of praise were understood, I don’t know.
I extolled the Ant Monster,
and decided to call it Antos from today.
I had them move to a corner of this box garden world with their subordinates,
and in order to conduct the second trial of 蠱毒,
I buried artificial hearts in fresh corpses,
reviving a certain number of combat individuals,
and hastily created four commander individuals from my body.
The magic power, flesh, and materials for their creation were already secured.
” ” ” “…………” ” ” ”
“Now, take your respective combat individuals and withdraw for now. In a few days, I will send the seedbed individuals to each of you.”
They nodded in unison.
And dispersed from the scene, leading an equal number of combat individuals.
Ah, I wonder who will survive next?
