Chapter 53: Ant!!
After scrolling down a bit more, Athan hit the end of the first page in Point Shop, But when he tried to open the 2nd Page, He received a massage.
[ Not Qualified to open 2nd page ]
" Well, It's good. I don't want to see any more strange things anyway. " Saying this Athan swiped his hand causing the display to disappear.
...
Time passed by swiftly after that and soon it was time for the examination to start.
[ The first Examination is about killing Ants. killing one Ant will give you 1 point, Participants will be formed into a squad of 4 people and points will be distributed according to various factors during the hunting of Ants. ]
[ If you have friends then you can add them into the squad, If there are less than 4 people in already formed squads then the remaining slots will be filled randomly. ]
[ You all have 1 minute to form a squad. After that, the remaining slots in the squad will be filled automatically and the examination will start in 5 minutes after the squads are formed. ]
After the announcement was over, A display appeared in front of Athan which had the title of Squad and countdown.
[Squad]- 0:59
1. Athan
2.
3.
4.
And beside this, there was a [ Friend ] window in which Tiana's name was written.
He pressed on Tiana's name which caused Tiana to receive an invitation to join Athan's squad.
She pressed { Yes } causing an additional name to appear in her squad window.
[Squad]- 0:51
1. Tiana
2. Athan
3.
4.
After that, both of them waited for the countdown to hit 0.
Just as the Countdown hit 0, Two additional names appeared in Athan's and Tiana's Display.
Athan looked at the names.
[Squad]
1. Athan
2. Tiana
3. Laksel
4. Risa
Beside the window, Another countdown appeared.
[5:00]
[4:59]
[4:58]
...
...
...
[0:03]
[0:02]
[0:01]
[0:00]
As soon as the countdown hit [0:00] The scenery in front of Athan and Tiana changed as they both arrived in an unfamiliar place, There were Big trees and hills all around with the size of thousands of meters and The sky had a night view with stars twinkling on it.
Besides Athan and Tiana, Two more people appeared in strange outfits.
One of them was a girl who wore a light blue dress and had blue butterfly wings behind her back, her face was beautiful but not as beautiful as Tiana and she had an A cup size chest.
Another Person was a man around the age of 25, He wore a simple white Martial Art outfit with a black headband and waistband, His face shape was a bit square along with his chin.
The man who was likely to be Laksel spoke with a simple smile, " I'll start by introducing myself, As you know My name is Laksel. I have Earth, Fire, Metal, Dark, and Wood Elements, I've also comprehended Basic Metal and Earth Intents, On top of that My stats are at the peak of Energy Plane. Nice to meet you all, Hope we can work together peacefully. "
After that, The girl did a perfect curtsey like a princess and spoke with a smile that showed dimples, " Hello, My name is Risa. I have Water, Air, Ice, Fire, and Mist Elements. My body stats are secrets and I've comprehended the Basic Ice Intent, Basic Air intent, and.....that's it. "
Athan was a bit shocked, ' both of them have comprehended more than one intents and also have some elements I've not heard of before. Furthermore, they are likely to be more powerful than me in terms of spell power. '
' And maybe they have likely hidden some information about them, Especially Risa is clearing hinting that she is not telling everything. After all, this is just the First Round of Examination. '
Athan then had a wild guess, These two people can likely step into Origin Intent Plane but they didn't step into it. As for the reason, He doesn't know but he will find an opportunity to ask later.
He then composed himself and also spoke with a smile, " You can call me Athan, I have Fire, Air, Lightning, Earth, Water, Wood, and Dark Elements, I have not comprehended any intents, and My Body stats are also at peak of Energy Plane. "
After that, Just as Tiana was going to speak, slight Tremors could be from their left side which caused a change in the expression of Laksel and Risa.
Both of their faces turned serious as Laksel spoke, " Let's hide inside that tree first, then we will plan on how to proceed. " saying this, He dashed towards the tree that had hollow space as Risa immediately followed him.
Although Athan and Tiana were confused, They also choose to follow them as they all went inside the hollow space inside the tree trunk.
After everyone entered inside, Risa spoke in a hushed voice, " Conseal your presence as much as you can and don't speak from now on, I will cast a spell that will help conceal our aura. "
After that, She closed her eyes for 2 seconds before waving her hands gently on both sides as Mist started to spread as it covered all four of them in 2 seconds.
After mist-covered everyone, They all looked outside from the tree trunk as whatever that caused the tremors was almost near them.
After a few seconds, It indeed appeared.
Looking at the creature in front of them, Athan was speechless and thought about the evaluation that was displayed in his status window.
[ Weaker than an Ant, No kidding. ]
Currently in front of them was an Ant that was 100 meters long and 40 meters tall, Its body was covered in black armor with blue patterns, Those steel like legs also shined in a blue hue, Furthermore between those large mandibles the ant's teeth were hitting each other making sound of hitting metals.
Athan had seen bigger creatures but this Ant was giving him formless pressure and high dangers signs, If he fought with the ant, He would definitely die.
The Ant currently stopped in a place where Athan and the group were standing before, It then slowly started moving towards the tree trunk they were hiding on.
Seeing this, All of their faces changed as Laksel spoke in a very low voice, " Damnit, Let's form a simple plan real fast, I have high defensive spells so I will try to block its attack and also attack it with my Metal spells when I get a chance, This will be my job but we still need more attack and penetrative power to break its tough carcasses and we also need to impair its movements. "
Risa spoke hurriedly right after that, " I will impair its movement with my ice spells as much I can, and try to cloud its senses from time to time with mist spells. "
" Leave Attack power to Tiana and Me, She has a powerful intent that will be effective but her attack's penetrative power is not high so we need to break its armor first. After that Tiana's attack will likely be more effective. "
Athan spoke right after Risa was finished.
Nodding his head to everyone, Laksel said, " I'm going to distract it first, After that Risa and you two will do your work. " Saying this, He directly dashed outside of the tree trunk and causing the Ant to chase him to the left side.
Athan and others left after seeing the Ant following Laksel.
After coming out, They saw Ant lifting two of its front leg before smacking them towards Laksel who already stopped and formed a Grey Metal barrier.
*Cracks...*
Countless cracks appeared on the barrier upon being hit by The Ant's legs.
Right after that, Risa started casting Ice spells around the Ant's legs to halt its movement while Athan formed 5 <Lightning Spear> around him.
Tiana also started to gather energy for a powerful spell according to Athan's instruction.
Picking up a Spear, Athan used his full power to throw it towards Ant's head.
*phissu*
The Spear hit at the back of Ant's head but it didn't even scratch as it simply dissolved.
" Fvck, How hard is that armor? "
Laksel's barrier was then destroyed but he was preparing another spell which he used right before the barrier was destroyed.
It was a big Dark Wall which was excluding Earth, Metal and Dark energies, The Ant attacked once again with its legs, and this time, Both of its legs penetrated the wall easily but when it tried to pull them or destroy the wall, it struggled as it couldn't do it which caused it to lose its balance and impair its movement a bit.
Seeing this, Laksel dashed towards another side and formed a Dark Metal Spear before he grabbed it and threw it towards a point at Ant's abdomen.
" That's the Ant's vital point--" His voice cut off as Angered Ant who had one leg out of the wall found balance turned towards him before snapping its mouth At him.
Barely dodging the attack, He formed another barrier.
Risa also formed from the ice around its legs and used mists to cover the Ant's head.
Athan didn't have a choice to but manually form a new spell as his <Lightning Spear> proved to be useless.
He had already started forming a spell after seeing that his <Lightning Spear> didn't do sh*t to the Ant. So when he heard Laksel's voice, He replied, " Give me a few seconds..."
After 4 seconds he was done as he started forming his spell in the front of his hand.
The spell he formed looked like a Lance But Its tip which covered 60% of its body was spinning with Air energy and he used Mystic Energy to increase the spinning power while its outer shell was formed with Earth Energy, He then added Fire energy on top of it so The drill started spinning in Fire.
The spell looked crude as The elements were not actually combined like Tiana's Lightning Inferno spells.
After the spell formed, He grabbed the small shaft and threw it with his full power towards Ant's spot where Laksel's Dark Metal Spear hit.
Right after throwing the <Drilling Lance>, He said, " Tiana Throw your Spell now. "
By the time he finished speaking, The Drilling Lance already hit the spot and directly broke open its amour which already had cracks on it due to Laksel's Dark Metal Spear.
Tiana also put both of her forward as red-colored energy with blue and red sparks released in a laser cannon shot form.
The spell released by Tiana entered the gap blasted opened by Athan's and Laksel's attack causing the Ant to cry out loud from pain.
Tiana didn't stop and threw the same spell one more time albeit a bit smaller but it still hit hard as Ant directly fall to a side due to it being unable to handle the damage to its vital part which was the heart.
After that Ant also stopped its loud cry.
Along with its vanishing cries, The Ant's body also disappeared.
[Congratulations for defeating your 1st Ant ]
[ Laksel: 0.50 points, Risa: 0.15 points, Athan: 0.15 points, Tiana: 0.20 points ]
