Chapter 98 - Part 2: Fighting Against Ant Monster

Zack activates the Sword attack technique with the command "SWORD DIVIDE." As Zack drew his Sword and aimed it at the Monster's midsection. A Lightning Strike was unleashed from that blade. And it was so quick that it struck its abdomen region in a split second. When the lightning struck Monster's body, it screamed. The strike ripped into the organ, penetrating deep within it. Because Monster is metallic. It harnessed lightning energy to wreak devastation on its body. The blood is gushing out of the abdomen. The Ant Monster came to a complete stop. Its inner organs were being paralyzed. And destroyed by the leftover lightning energy in its body. The region below its thorax is utterly destabilized as a result. Ant Monster became immobilized as a result of this. My lips bent slightly as I realized Monster was hurt. It was partly due to chance. Even if I didn't get to it quickly enough. The Monster would have gotten out of range of the attack. I then proceeded to approach the Monster. I noticed blood streaming from the abdomen. It is no longer able to use its stinger. So I didn't waste any more time. I leaped to get to its head. As I got closer to its eyes. To make sure no one was here, I activated my perceptive ability. My palms were then placed in its head. I started practicing the Blood Technique. I began sucking the essence of Monster's blood via my palms soon after. My inside system is invaded by a yellow liquid. It's as though it's coursing through my veins. The Blood Rune began to shine in the consciousness. As a result, a hazy red light began to emerge. It engulfed the Blood Essence. The Blood Method began to work its magic. Once the red glow had engulfed it, it was no longer visible. The Blood Essence soon discharged white energy. It was drilled into my skeleton. When the Redline was made wider. I felt a fictitious boost in strength. I was having a wry grin on my face. I have no idea how to assess my strength due to a lack of understanding. I'm not sure how strong I am. I'm using the trial-and-error approach. Until I have another breakthrough, that is. I'll need to drink more essence blood. If I knew something about it. Then I'd design a strategy based on that. It would provide me with precise data. For example, how much Monster's Blood do I need to drink? Then I'd be able to do some calculations. That's something I've heard from high-ranking officials. Warriors can use a Power Gauging tool to determine their strength. My mouth lets out a sigh. The Hansen Training Centre does not have such equipment, contrary to popular belief. After cultivating for a few hours, I dissected its massive body into small pieces. I'll have to do it carefully. So that I may put the dissected section of it in the container. Then I walked away, hoping to see another Ant Monster. If only I could find a few more Monsters to hunt. Then I'll be able to earn a few thousand Credit points. I can do so by just selling their organs. Now that I understood the Monster was metallic, I resumed my search. I intend to expand the area of search. Yet, I must be wary of the Scouting Ant. The Scouting Ant emits a smell that helps the Worker Ants navigate from the Colonies to food sources. Scouting Ant Monster may have led me to the trail I'm on. Keeping this in mind, I followed the track with caution. I squinted my eyes a few minutes later when I noticed Two Worker Ants. The trail was being followed by the Two Ant Monsters. I confirmed after seeing that. They're headed to a food source. My perceptive ability was activated. I'll be able to perceive areas larger than 10 meters in no time. "Thank goodness Monsters are in my range," I thought to myself. I kept an eye on them. After that, I began to gaze ahead of them. I felt at ease knowing that there were no other creatures in the vicinity. Without spending any time, let's get started. I dashed over to them. My lips bent slightly, and I felt a rush of exhilaration. "It'll be 2 vs 1," I reasoned in my head. Because they are metallic. I didn't make any kind of battle strategy. The Two Ant Monsters came to a complete stop. Their Antennae transmitted those signals. It discovered a Living thing in the vicinity. The two Monsters acted as if they were on the lookout for food. They've discovered something now. It develops into a rivalry between them. Zack was detected by one of the Monsters. It had the impression that prey was rushing towards it. It moved instead of waiting. In comparison to its companion, this Worker Ant Monster is a little smaller. This Smaller Ant Monster is looking for something to eat. It will then drag whatever is left back to the colony. It is adamant about not sharing its meal with its partner. In the meanwhile, Zack. When I realized this, I slowed down my movements somewhat. Seeing one of the monsters approaching me. I don't want to let go of my lightning power. It will then be notified. There's a chance that one of the monsters will get away. As a result, it's the best option. Rather than widening the space between the Monsters. I'm going to make sure that both creatures approach as close to me as possible. Observing the prey being pursued by its buddy. The other Big Ant Monster had no intention of staying behind. It dashed towards the prey as well. When Monster, the smaller ant, arrived at its prey. It twists its huge body to sting its prey with its long needle-like stinger. The stinger pierced the air like a needle. The sound of air breaking could be heard. It happened so quickly. An empty place was hit by the Stinger. It was unable to pierce the flesh of its prey. This was something Zack had anticipated. He was able to avoid the strike due to his perception. The Ant Monster was furious. It pursued its target in preparation for another attack. The Monster is keeping a close eye on him. Something catches Zack's attention. It all happened in a flash.. In the meantime, Zack was approached by the second Big Ant Monster.
