Chereads / Immortal With A System? / Chapter 23 - He's Strong

Chapter 23 - He's Strong

Akemi stands across from the army of ants with the skeleton soldiers behind him and Solace standing next to him "this is my first time using this skill, let's so what you guys got"

The ants start running toward Akemi

Akemi points to the ants with his right index finger: "kill them"

The skeletons charge towards the ants

A fireball flies past Akemi, into the center of the ants and explodes

Akemi eyes widen "Huh?" he looks behind him and notices the skeleton mage "oh? I forgot all about you" he looks back at the ants and sees Solace running through the ants slicing them in half with him sword "jeez, leave some for the rest will ya"

Sometime Later

Akemi walks past the corpses of the ants lying on the ground "ugh, that was much faster than I thought "

A window appears next to Akemi

Window: " Skill upgrade, Resurrection Lv1 -> Resurrection Lv2 . Max number of resurrected has increased to 300"

Akemi: " Oh? I can have more?" he looks down at the ants and holds out his right hand

Black energy gathers around 50 of the ants

The ants get up and their red skin turns blue

Window: "Resurrection successful (250/300)"

The ants look up at Akemi

Akemi crouches and puts his left hand on a ant's head "now that you guys aren't trying to kill me, you're kinda cute" he stands up and starts walking "let's go"

The undead follows Akemi

A Moment Later

Akemi stops and looks up at 2 huge blue doors

Akemi: "This must be the boss room" he puts his hands on both of the doors and pushes them open

A light shines through the doors as it opens

Akemi squints his eyes "why is it so bright?" the light dims and he looks past the doors seeing big pink and blue crystals coming out of the ground "are those...Magic crystals?"

SKRRREEEEEEEKK

Akemi covers his ears "what is that loud sound?"

The ground shakes

Akemi looks to his right and sees a giant red ant

Giant Ant: "SKRRREEEEEEEKKK!!!!"

A window appears next to the giant ant "Ant Queen" in white letters

Akemi: "So it is the boss" he looks at the color of the name "it's white?"

The undead gets in fighting stance

Akemi holds his right hand towards the undead, there is no need. I have a different job for you guys

The undead looks at each other

Undead 1 tilts his head with a question mark over it

Undead 2 shrugs and looks to his left

Undead 3 shakes his head

A window appears in from of Akemi

Akemi presses on shops "oh? So organized" he starts pressing the screen

Window: "¥400,000 has been taken"

Akemi looks back at the undead "here" 200 pickaxes fall out of the inventory onto the ground "I want you guys to go and pick these magic crystals, I'll handle the boss myself"

The undead goes and picks up the pickaxes

Akemi turns back and walks towards the ant queen "Ok, let's see what you got" he jumps up into the air while smiling and 5 runes appear around the ant queen's head "hellflare"

Outside Of The Rift

Ken shaking his leg while sitting down "dammit, I can't take it anymore!"

Haru: "It hasn't even been 5 minutes yet"

Ken: "So what? you expect me to believe a D rank hunter can clear a C rank rift when it takes all 3 of us or more to clear it?"

Haru: "Uncle said-"

Ken: "Forget what uncle said!"

Fumiko: "now now, let's calm down"

Ken: "Calm down? Fumiko, you're on my side for this one right? What if that guy goes in there and gets himself killed, he's probably already dead!"

Fumiko sighs "well, I can't say I'm not on your side"

Ken: "See"

Fumiko: "But, we should trust what uncle says"

Ken: "Bullshit!" he stands up "I'm not trusting anything that old bastard says"

Haru: "There he goes again" he looks at Fumiko "well I can't say I haven't been holding myself back this entire time"

Ken: "That's my brother" he smirks and walks towards the rift "let's go" he walks inside the rift

Haru shrugs

Fumiko: "I knew this would happen"

Haru laughs nervously "it always turns out this way"

Fumiko: "guess we're going to follow that idiot"

Haru: "Yup"

Haru and Fumiko walks into the rift

Inside The Rift

Fumiko walks through the rift "any sign of Akemi yet?" she bumps into Ken's back "ouch, hey! Why are you just standing there?"

Haru comes through the rift "Is something wrong?"

Ken starts forward without saying anything

Fumiko looks back and Haru

Haru shrugs

Fumiko and Haru looks past Ken then their eyes widens as they see all of the ants lying on the ground

A drop of sweat comes from Ken's head "What the hell?"

Haru walks from behind Ken and through the corpses

Fumiko: "Are they all dead?"

Haru keeps walking and looking at the corpses "fortunately yes!"

Fumiko walks towards Haru "did that guy really do this by himself?"

Ken: "That guy!"

Haru: "Did that clear up your doubts Ken?"

Ken: "No, it did not" he walks past Haru and Fumiko "let's see did he make it to the boss room, he may be in there now" he starts walking

Fumiko sighs

Haru smiles "I know what you are thinking, but his intentions are good"

Moments Later

Ken, Haru and Fumiko gets to the boss room doors

Ken looks at the door and notices it's open "he must be in there, let's hurry" he runs towards the doors

Haru and Fumiko look and each other then nods and run after Ken

Boss Room

Akemi sitting on top of the ant queen's headless a body with a magic crystal in his left hand "who would have thought I would find magic crystals in a place like this. If I remember magic crystals are about 4 times more than magic ores" he looks down at the undead "okay you guys, I think that's enough"

The undead throws their hands in the air

Footsteps echoes through the cave

The undead runs in front of Akemi with their pickaxes in their hands

Ken runs through the door "Akemi! You ali- what?"

Haru and Fumiko runs through the door

Fumiko pants "Would it kill you to slow down a little!"

Haru looks at Fumiko "no use worrying about it now right? Let's just make sure Ake-" Haru looks ahead and his jaw drops

Fumiko panting "What?" she looks to her right and her eyes widens

Akemi sighs and looks at Fumiko, Ken and Haru "I knew you wouldn't listen to me" his eyes shines golden
