Chapter 3 - Nest War!

After an hour of traveling, he had made it back to the nest. But what greeted him was a shocking sight.

There were thousands of black and brown spots as far as an eye could see. The brown ants were his brethren, while the black ants were dinosaur ants.

Dinosaur ants were 1.5 times bigger than bulldog ants, so it was a tough battle for bulldog ants.

Realizing the weight of the situation, he started disposing of the nearby enemies. He used 'compact' to strengthen his body only by 2 times, but he could still rip apart enemies like paper.

"If I can rip them apart just by strengthening them 2 times, imagine what I can do if I use its full power. And the ability is a growth type."

"Looks like I hit a jackpot."

Ding! Ding!

He heard the familiar sound again and received the notification.

[Congratulation to the host for killing the worker Dinosaur ant!]

[You have received 0.1 Evo!]

He made his way to the queen's chamber while slaughtering enemies left and right.

He could hear notifications going crazy.

[You have received 0.1 Evo!]

[You have received 0.1 Evo!]

[You have received 0.1 Evo!]

[You have received 0.1 Evo!]

After reaching the chamber, he saw hundreds of soldier ants guarding the queen. So, breathed a sigh of relief.

After making sure the queen was alive, he made his way out.

"Their number is never-ending, so the best way to end the battle is to get rid of their queen."

Despite being in the middle of the battle. He tried to look for the direction where they were coming from. After scouting for direction for hours, he saw the lines of enemies coming from the south.

He relayed the information to other ants, and they formed a group consisting of 200 hundred worker ants.

They started making their way toward the south while fighting the incoming enemies. While others were having confrontations, Grim was in the back, finishing off any runaways.

"I must save my energy for later to deal with the queen."

After an hour of a brutal battle, only half of the ants were alive, and they made their way to the territory of Dinosaur ants.

There were thousands of black worker ants in the area. They were busy with their work, some were going for the hunt, some were building the nest, and some were transporting the food inside the nest.

They would get wiped if a direct confrontation was to happen, so Grim told his brethren to cause a big distraction while he would take care of the queen himself.

They followed his plans and attacked the nearest worker ant and started killing others before backing out and repeating the same thing.

"Alright, now it's my turn now." He used 'ghost' and slowly made his way inside.

There was a commotion going on because of the attack, so most of the soldier ants were placed at the entrance, while small groups were located at each turning point.

He made his way in front of the queen's chamber in three minutes, then finished off the soldiers guarding the entrance. He entered the chamber only to be greeted by 25 soldier ants in front of the queen ant.

"This is going to be a hard battle."

He had fought against hundreds of ants before and won, but the enemy never had their full attention on him before. But now it was different, all of them were focusing on him.

"No time to hold back any longer." He used 'contract' and strengthen his body 5 times.

He could feel the energy flowing in his body and made his way to the nearest ant and tore him apart. He then grabbed the body part and threw it at others. Then he went for the next target.

After 5 minutes of brutal battle, he had gotten rid of all the soldier ants. He was panting, exhausted, and one of his legs was missing, but it was still his victory.

Although she was called queen, she couldn't fight and her only duty was to lay eggs. So, Grim finished her easily and destroyed all the eggs he could see.

"Now they can't reproduce, it should be enough to keep our nest safe."

[Congratulation to the host for eliminating the Dinosaur ant queen!]

[You have obtained 1 Evo]

[Optional quest complete!]

[You have been rewarded with 1 weekly ability refresh ticket]

"Great, the optional quest is complete. But why is the emergency quest still active?"

"You have to finish off all the invaders in your territory." System replied.

"They still haven't finished them? I should make my way back, too."

He used 'ghost' and made his way back out of the enemy nest and gathered together with the remaining ants, and soon they made their way into their nest.
