It kicks the guard captain, breaking the soul-blessing armour he is wearing, but he grits his teeth and actually grabs a hold of the leg. Using this opportunity, Leon swings as hard as it can on the other leg.
BAM! The ant shakes as it falls down; it starts biting Cleo's stomach, causing the latter to scream in pain. He opens his mouth and bites the antenna hard.
AWOOO! Glutton leaps and bites the other antenna; its special ability, Hungry, causes it to slowly absorb the energy coming from the antenna to fuel itself.
"Young master!" Seeing this scene, the guard captain roars in fury as he starts punching the legs of the ant. Leon might not know why he is doing this, but the system does. The guard captain is assuring the clone that it will be responsible for the legs, so it should just focus on helping Cleo.
Leon grabs a broken sword nearby and stabs it in one of the eyes of the ant; the latter grabs him before using him as a hammer against the guard captain.
"Close your ears!" Cleo stops biting the antenna and screams. The guard captain grits his teeth and looks at him with a determined look. Upon seeing this, he nods his head.
Deactivate [malevolent tiger transformation].
[Dragon-tiger Roar]
At point blank, the ant receives the roar, causing it to freeze and stop chewing his stomach.
"B*tch! Eat this!" Cleo punches the ant's face, flings himself at the back of the ant, and resumes biting the antenna. He has his legs locked at its neck.
Leon gets away from the grasps of the ant and grapples one of its arms. Glutton realises that the ant's other arm is still free; it lets go of the antenna and jumps at the other arm and bites hard.
The guard captain blanked out; no matter how he prepared himself, the roar still stuns him. A person came running towards him and swung a punch at his head.
BAM! The person who punched him held his hand in pain but still managed to scream at his ears.
"Wake up!"
The guard captain snaps out of his state and realises that he cannot pass up such an opportunity. He uses his weight to hold the leg down while punching the other leg, and the man who punched him also joins in.
It was Elcio; he had been watching the fight, and he started to worry as he saw his young master's guts being eaten right in front of him.
The ant awakens from its stunned state and quickly realises that it is in a perilous state. It screeches loudly, causing the ants in its surroundings to surge in its direction.
"Protect the captain and the young master!"
"Avenge the fourth brother!"
"Look! The ants are going that way!"
"Quickly! Stop them!"
The guards race after the ants, and the soldiers notice the ants' strange behaviour and quickly try to stop them, even though they do not have any accurate information about the strange behaviour.
The supernatural grade ant also hears the cry, and it goes berserk, trying to bypass the supernatural gene warriors, but how could they let it go? They even become more ruthless in their attacks.
"F*cker, just die!" Roars Cleo as his teeth start to finally sink on the antenna. He is not going to let go of the antennas; he is going to pull them out of it's head.
The ant struggles as much as it can, but no matter what it does, the people attacking it are determined to stop its movement. It opens its mouth and starts biting Glutton, eating it slowly.
"Bxstard!" shouts Elcio as he takes a bottle of explosive liquid that he had prepared. He knows that the explosion will affect everyone, but he no longer cares; there is only one thing on his mind: to break at least one of the ant's mandibles.
BOOM! Elcio was blown away by his own explosion; his hands were destroyed during the explosion; the ant's face was able to endure the explosion, but it still suffered horrendous injuries; its mandibles were destroyed; and its remaining good eye was destroyed in the process.
He wants to return, but the guards stop him, seeing his pitiful appearance. They can see that his hands are no longer able to function properly, and they cannot help but develop great respect for him. They wanted to raise him high.
Too bad, the ants are now going berserk trying to pass them in order to reach the mutant ant; they are not going to let that happen; they already failed twice, and failing once again will cause them to lose any respect they have for themselves.
Cleo grits his teeth as his feet continue to lock on the ant, even though they were also destroyed in the explosion. The ant struggles one last time, and unfortunately for it, the explosion damaged it too greatly.
Leon and Glutton were not willing to let it's hands go; the guard captain's body was affected by the explosion, but he still dares to fight back and continues to attack the legs.
"Die!" The image of both dragon and tiger appears above Cleo, and he breaks through the bottleneck of his technique as he pulls the head of the ant with one last burst of his strength.
He falls to the ground with an exhausted look; his guts are still spilling out of his stomach, but he is too exhausted to cry in pain.
[Congratulations to the host on obtaining Advanced Grade Soul Blessing "Mutated Royal Ant Armour"]
Without hesitation, he gives the armour to his clone, Leon carries him and the guard captain as he escapes, and Glutton swallows the mutant ant corpse, knowing full well that such delicacy should not be wasted.
He is barely hanging on, but he realises that his recovery rate is much faster than before; it seems that the ordeal has pushed him to his absolute limit.
This made him happy, but just as he smiles, he starts coughing up blood as his guts are still spilling out of his stomach. He is truly in a world of pain right now; he can only rely on his passive regeneration to recover, but this would definitely take too long for his comfort.
