"Well, that's that and this is this." My uncle said. "Let's drop the deep, emotional conversation for now, alright? Not everything has to be so dramatic, for the spirit's sake! Anyways, we're here, beast boy."
My uncle pointed at tall hill in the middle of the dry savannah. In there, there was a large- no, gigantic anthill, completely black in color, and with miasmic rivers coming out of it constantly.
Not only that, but purple colored crystals, Demonite, which is the crystalized form of Miasma, was growing all over the anthill, which helped these creepy, gigantic black ants with red eyes to feed on them.
"T-This is one huge anthill! What in the world?" Mist asked in surprise. "Ahh… W-Well, after we fought all those bugs, this isn't that surprishing…"
"Unlike the other more mutant monsters, all these ants look similar." Said Zack. "Are these stronger monsters?"
"It looks to be the case." My father nodded. "They're stronger monsters, not just random chimeras, but a species that specifically dwells within the Demon King's Continent. I am shocked they have managed to arrive here. They can only survive eating Demonite and drinking Miasma that their queen produces…"
"They're certainly dangerous." Shade said. "Abyssal Miasmic Ants are their names. Workers are weak Tier 4 Monsters, but Warriors can be as strong as Tier 6. The Queen is usually Tier 7, but sometimes… if it has enough talent, it can even be Tier 8… I don't know if you could defeat such an overwhelmingly powerful being…"
"Well, if its only one, and if it doesn't move, then it shouldn't be so hard." My father said carefreely.
"I remember when we were struggling against Tier 5 monsters…" I sighed. "Remember how we took so long to defeat that Tyrant Tiger? Well, I guess we've grown much stronger since then."
"It has only been around half a year since then though!" Zack said. "To begin with, we wouldn't be able to reach so far without you. There's no way in hell I would be able to defeat Tier 7 monsters by myself… It is thanks to all our combined efforts, skills, and magic that we can do it. And well, your amazing help."
"Yeah, all the Mana you supply us help us reach new lengths." Celeste nodded. "And well, the other gifts and powers you've given to us, and more. I feel really indebted… I owe you more than you imagine. I never thought that after what I did back then you would take me with you, and even let me join you in such a path… I will make sure to be useful and help as much as I can." Celeste, out of nowhere, got much more serious, smiling sincerely.
"What with that overly serious tone? You're being creepy." I sighed.
"E-Eh?! Hey! For once I was just trying to be honest!" Celeste sighed, crossing her arms.
But I guess they're right to an extent… It is thanks to my System, and my Infinite Mana that not only I have grown at an incredibly fast pace, but I've helped everyone grow even stronger. Those Elixirs the Quests gave to me, and the potions I gave to them, the equipment I made for them…
How I helped them train and enhance their physique and magic circles, how I helped them refine their magic and fighting techniques, and more. And even now that I've given Luck and Aquarina System Seeds, and the rest have awakened even more strength thanks to Heroic Talents.
Though, I don't want to attribute all of this progress to my own, as without their aid in this journey, I wouldn't had been able to achieve so much either.
"Back then, Tier 7 monsters were something we couldn't defeat at all… Especially in Eastgrain." Sighed Aquarina. "We could only run away from those things, as our parents took them down for us."I think you should take a look at
"And I was only able to defeat those I could thanks to Ignatius brother, who made a temporary contract with me." I sighed.
"Yeah, but now, years later, we can even defeat Tier 7 monsters if we cooperate together well enough, despite their insane prowess!" Aquarina celebrated. "Haven't we come pretty far already?"
"Yep." I nodded. "I might have been helping you guys… But it is also thanks to your aid that we've gotten this far. My Mana will keep you all well, so make sure to not hold back in terms of spending energy!"
After having learned the ability to transfer my endless Mana to others, refilling their Mana constantly and helping them regain it quickly so they can conjure the strongest magic they could constantly, our overall strength had improved tremendously.
This power I had… now that I think about it, it was very lucky of me to get Alice. The normal System can't give someone infinite Mana after all. That's the thing I have above the other System User in this world… Which I believe is the new Demon King.
This power, and everything I've been building since then, I'll use it to bring hope to this world. I guess it is quite ridiculous that thirteen-year-olds are about to fight a Tier 8 monster but…
That Raghidonte guy was seriously past Tier 10 in power alone, so if I think that way, maybe it sounds doable now.
"T-Those are some huge bugs…" Luck sighed, gritting his teeth.
I noticed how his hands were trembling, his eyes filled with fear and frustration…
His village was destroyed by Arachne's swarm, they killed his brother, and took away Lara from him.
I can understand if he's afraid of bugs now, it is an innate fear within him now, a trauma that cannot be taken away, perhaps never.
Yet… I cannot let him just be.
"You're not alone anymore." I smiled, holding his hand tightly. "We're here with you." I noticed Aquarina gasping in shock as I held his hand.
"Sylphy…" Luck sighed, his face went from sad to sadder, but then he nodded, smiling, and glancing at the gigantic anthill with eyes filled with conviction. "You're right… I'll be counting on all of you… thank you so much."
"Let's do this then!" I roared, raising my sword, as my Yggdragon's Aura surged from my body.
FLAAAASH!
