Chapter 332 - Slaughtering Cycle
He would relay orders to the Giant Ant Queen, and she would relay them to the Giant Ant Beasts who would all fight as a group and support each other so that they can steadily take down the Goblin Beasts.
Adam instructed the Giant Ant Queen to relay to her subordinates that once they were all beginning to tire out or were being pushed back and injured, that they should retreat to the Core Part of the Goblin Beast City where they could take a moment to recover and feed off their queen.
??As long as they followed Adam's instructions and everything went to plan, it would take them a few cycles of battling, then stopping to recover, before they can take down most of the Goblin Beasts.
Time wasn't on Adam's side and he wanted to make sure to leave time for him to explore the castle a second time and he also had another idea that he wanted to try out in the castle, so he wanted to speed up the process of slaughtering the Goblin Beasts, which was why he decided to join the Giant Ant Beasts.
"Listen up, get them to attack as a group and support each other. Also, get them to stay near the edge of the Core Part of the city and if they need to retreat, allow them to do so. Just keep giving them good orders so that they can defeat as many beasts as they can without suffering casualties and I believe in your judgement" instructed Adam to the Giant Ant Queen.
It was likely that if he retracted his Formicidae Summon, the Giant Ant Beasts that the Giant Ant Queen formed would still be there, but they would become wild and unrestrainable since their leader, master and mother had disappeared, so it was best for Adam to keep her summoned.
Because of that, his Internal Energy was shackled and Adam was mostly planning to fight using his External Energy and use all the skills, techniques and combat styles that he observed from the Weapon Master Goblin King to do so.
Every few minutes he would have to retreat and rest, as sustaining a summon at the same level as him was draining, but with the army of Giant Ant Beasts along with his power, Adam was confident that they would be able to defeat the Goblin Beasts at a good rate.
With that, the Giant Ant Queen became a war general instructing its soldiers on what to do, while Adam charged straight into the Goblin Beasts and created an opening for the Giant Ant Beasts to exploit.
Adam used his great speed and flexibility to weave through the thousands of Goblin Beasts and would target the Mage Goblin Beasts and Archer Goblin Beasts, as they were easy to take down and used ranged attacks, which were annoying to deal with.
With his daggers, Adam would dash past the Goblin Beasts that could use ranged attacks and slash their necks, taking them down in single attacks, while avoiding attacks from all the other Goblin Beasts that he ran past.
The Goblin Beasts being so close together made it harder for them to attack Adam who was jumping around and weaving between them, using his great speed, flexibility and muscle control that he had trained, to avoid all attacks and get around the army of Goblin Beasts.
Adam was covered in green blood and slaughtered dozens of beasts as he unleashed more and more of his Bloodlust and continued killing more and more of the beasts.
With so many beasts around him, Adam was suffering quite a few injuries, but the Giant Ant Beasts were surprisingly powerful and supported Adam whenever he was surrounded and unable to get out.
Adam spread his spiritual sense throughout the battlefield between the Giant Ant Beasts and Goblin Beasts as he continued dashing around with his great speed and using only his physical power to take down as many Goblin Beasts as he could.
After his Internal Energy was starting to run low, he would return to the Core Part of the Goblin Beast City to recover, since he needed a constant stream of it to sustain the Giant Ant Queen.
He repeated the cycle of slaughtering the Goblin Beasts before stopping to recover and after a few times of doing so, the Goblin Beasts' numbers dwindled to a mere few hundred.
However they were spread far and wide around the city and there were also Goblin Beasts that were still on guard, so Adam decided that it was enough and he had already spent too much time in the dungeon, so it was best for him to return to the castle as soon as he could.
Adam retracted his summon of the Giant Ant Queen and was curious to see whether the Giant Ant Beasts that it produced would disappear with it, or still be formed.
To his surprise, they didn't disappear and that made the Giant Ant Queen's Special Trait even more formidable, but also more dangerous to use.
Just as he expected, as soon as the Giant Ant Queen disappeared, the Giant Ant Beasts became wild and were no longer being restrained or controlled.
However, despite facing so many of those beasts, Adam wasn't afraid as he used his high Charisma Stat along with the Charm Skill on the beasts.
Beasts that were formed by the dungeon were always hostile towards Adam no matter what, but the Giant Ant Beasts were formed by Adam's summon and he wanted to test out whether his Charm Skill would work against them and whether beasts, in general, could be charmed.
Since he was the one that summoned their master, had a high Charisma Stat and also had a very intimidating aura and killing intent, it wasn't difficult to charm the Giant Ant Beasts who after a short while became obedient.
"Go and kill any beast that you find" instructed Adam as he released a burst of killing intent to scare them off and intimidate them into following his orders.
