Chapter 646: Zenos Causes A Wave Of Monsters Part 4

Pov Athena:

The second day of Monster Wave.

"Damn! What kind of Monster Wave is this." (Angela)

"These monsters keep appearing, the intervals were minutes at first, but now they're seconds." (Darius)

"Also the strength of these monsters is on top of what this continent can generate, it shouldn't be possible for so many Lower Catastrophe Grade monsters to appear in a single Monster Wave." (Angela)

"Come on, it's not that bad, at least no one died." (I)

"There were more than 30 monsters just yesterday and more of them are still appearing today." (Angela)

"Also, no one has died yet because these people are very strange, from their combat tactics to the overall strength of their army, this kind of army shouldn't even be on a continent like this." (Angela)

"All troops are using equipment designed for individual use and have powers from various areas that complement each other, they are like an army of adventurers working as soldiers." (Darius)

"They really are more competent than I thought, many have grown stronger after constant battles against the undead." (I)

"This kind of situation helped prepare them..." (I)

"(These people are very careful with everyone's lives...)" (I)

All day yesterday, I was responsible for leading my group in rescuing those with the most difficulty or eliminating certain types of monsters that were difficult to deal with.

Because of this, we run all over the battlefield, fighting like this is nothing new for anyone in my group, but something like this has only happened once before and it was inside a Dungeon.

Facing a constant attack of monsters is not an easy thing, thinking about the energy expenditure, physical fatigue, and mental and moral fatigue of the combatants, all this must be taken into account in these moments.

But these people are using the turn-based strategy to allow for rest, which may seem simple, but it works.

They are also consuming resources that no nation would accept, they are drinking potions like water.

In addition, all equipment is of high quality and individually prepared for each one.

"It's time to switch shifts, shall we?" (Lyra)

"Where do you get so much energy from?" (Darius)

"I have a lot of stamina potions, besides this is an excellent opportunity to test my potions, just standing here is a waste of time." (Lyra)

Lyra is the leading Alchemist of the Dungeon, from what I could hear, she loves to make potions, she doesn't use existing recipes and tries to create different potion recipes just for fun, thanks to this she even manages to nullify some antidotes.

I've also heard that she likes to fight, she does it to test her potions, it is said that no one other than Zenos' group likes to train with her for fear of her strange potions.

After what I saw yesterday when I asked to let her join my rescue group, her potions saved people in risky situations and at the same time brought more than just death to the Monsters.

"She's right, we don't have time to rest anymore." (I)

"Let me know we're leaving." (I)

"Yea."

I spread my wings and flew into the air after asking a Spirit of Light to carry a message for me.

I could see my group put their weapons in their hands before following me.

Soon I find an insect-type monster, it's the third time I've seen this same type of insect.

"(No more doubts, it's a scout.)" (I)

I go close to Ivan to warn him, he looks at the insect or to be more precise, the place where the insect was.

I tell him about these kinds of monsters that are in groups and subordinate to a leader since birth.

"Do you think they will attack?" (Ivan)

"These monsters leading swarms of Insect-type monsters are called Queens in general since almost all of them are female." (I)

"Even the first generation already come up with a certain level of intelligence even low, but some have a characteristic that links the mind of the entire swarm with the Queen's mind, this makes the Queen much smarter." (I)

"That would explain why a monster that walks in groups is alone, what kind of monster was it?" (Ivan)

"It was an Acid Ant..." (I)

"We have problems, a large number of monsters are coming from the left." (Yomi)

As I explained to Ivan what I was worried about a possible monster attack, suddenly Yomi lands on Ivan's shoulder and the voice of Nira one of the main Dungeon leaders comes out of her Familiar's spout.

I look over at Ivan who nods and rises to a certain height as I head in the direction the bird pointed with its wings earlier.

From the top I could see the big group of monsters moving, they were coming straight here and when I got closer I could see that they were Acid Ants, monsters that are earlier 1.5 meters tall and have acid attacks.

After that I go back to Ivan and tell him what I saw, he thinks for a few seconds while giving orders to deal with monsters that are already attacking us, then he asks me to take rica along with me to where these monsters are.

Ivan also asked me to give rica a message, so I went to get her from the group of mages waiting for the moment to be useful.

rica spreads her Demon wings and comes after me, we stop at a point where the monsters won't be able to reach us, we ignore the other monsters to focus only on the Acid Ants.

"Can you defend me while I cast my magic?" (rica)

"Yes, but first Ivan asked me to convey a message to you." (I)

"What message?" (rica)

"So you don't destroy the forest." (I)

"Who is he thinking that I am? Layla?" (rica)

"I know what I have to do." (rica)

"< Blade Birds > 3" (I)

I use a spell that uses my Aura and sword to summon mana constructs in the form of birds, their wings are powerful blades capable of cutting as much as my sword.

"They will defend you while I deal with most of the air monsters in this area." (I)

"Thanks." (rica)

After waving at her I'll deal with the Ice Birds that just appeared and were heading our way.
