Chapter 11: Chapter 11 – Top Of The Food Chain

Hoping to get stronger, he went out to search for stronger opponents.

The first thing that he came across was the horde of ants, each of them was the size of a normal dog. Their attack power was average and their speed wasn't very fast. However, they were very strong in numbers. And most importantly, they didn't have any special skills or magic attacks.

He defeated dozens of these ants with ease but then his stamina started running out due to all this fighting. Even after killing hundreds of ants, there were still an unfathomable number of them. So, instead of fighting so many ants at once, he decided to go straight for the queen ant. It would be faster and easier to kill her than trying to fight thousands of them at once.

After killing some ants, he swiftly retreated and hid himself. He even erased his scent with mana so that they wouldn't be able to smell him.

Then he began searching for the queen ant. He knew from his childhood that the worker ant carried the food to the queen ant. After finding the right ant, he waited until she came near it before attacking her. He had to hit her hard to make sure she died quickly.

Soon the moment came, queen ant was bigger than the worker ant near it. As soon as the queen ant picked up food from the worker ant, he speedily struck her with his sword. He then saw a flash of light sparking from his strike and an explosion occurred. It was the moment when the queen ant exploded. The shockwave was powerful enough to kill several ants nearby.

This made him realize that the queen ant's body contained an extremely high amount of Calcium Nitrate which was highly explosive.

That was why he couldn't sense anything while striking her, but he could definitely feel it when the force from his blow carried over to the rock she stood on and sent her flying. He had heard about the power of a Queen Ant before, but this was different. This wasn't just brute strength; there was some sort of mysterious force that supported her defense.

He realized that if he used physical attacks again, he would only make things worse for himself. His opponent had managed to stay unscathed even with that explosion. It didn't seem like she had any magic or special abilities. In other words, if he wanted to defeat her, he needed to rely on piercing techniques instead of relying on his sword skills.

"If I want to win against this queen ant... I need to use a technique that can cut through anything."

The only thing he could think of was the "Umbra!," the same technique that he'd used during the battle against the spider. It was a magical attack so it could bypass physical defense to a certain extent. This time he tried channeling light energy to his sword and a white glow covered his entire sword. He sliced the sword across the queen ant and it neatly cut her in half.

"Aghh... I get tired too easily. I should increase my stamina.", His stamina was almost depleted. This was another flaw that he found after this fight.

When the queen ant was killed, the ant immediately fell into dismay. Without the queen ant, they couldn't function properly which resulted in them scattering away. This made it easier for Noy to kill scattered ants.

It took him more than a week to finish killing the other ants. But he had successfully killed over five thousand of them which meant that he was getting stronger. He only used swordsmanship on those ants as he wanted to increase his proficiency in his sword skills.

After resting for a while, he moved on and ran into the horde of bats hanging upside down from the ceilings. He didn't think they were much stronger either but their number was a problem. They sat so densely next to each other that in around a 100 m radius, there could be more than several thousand of them. If they saw him first and flew towards him together then it could be a problem. He didn't know how to scatter them either like how he did with ants. So, he gave up on using swordsmanship on bats and started preparing a spell.

He first prepared a fireball combined with the lightning spell, then he made it bigger and propelled it toward the center of the bat with an aerial wave. He quickly followed up with a water wave that swept up the dead bodies of the bat.

"Hahah.. my spells are getting powerful and my efficiency in mana is also increasing. I can even control each element better now."

However, it seemed that his mana was still not enough for his spells to work effectively. He needed to increase his mana pool.

"I'll also ask Akriel how I can further increase my mana pool."

Then he carried on with his hunt to get stronger. On his hunt, he came across large centipedes, rabbits, wolves, and many other monsters. He promptly defeated all of them while mapping out the area.

He found out that this place was kind of a circle in shape with forest and dungeon terrains scattered around. He went to all kinds of places there and now one last place remained to complete his mapping.

This was the only place he hadn't explored. It almost had an eerie feeling to it. It looked like a normal forest on the outside but no creature could be seen or heard around. It also had an almost straight pathway leading to somewhere but he didn't know where it would go. Since he wanted to map out the whole area, he decided to went on this pathway to see where it would lead.

Then a yellow-colored lion like monster jumped in from of him with blood on his mouth. It seemed like it had just hunted something and eaten it just before arriving there. It was larger and bigger than a normal lion and lightning whirled around him. He could also feel a lot of mana from him. This confirmed that it was very strong.

Ever since Noy consumed the mana liquid, he could sense the mana from others indicating whether someone was strong or not. However, he couldn't sense Akriel's mana in the room.

He was certain, "It must be at the top of the food chain here. Maybe this is its domain and I have crossed over it."
