As Nyx reaches Level 6, a surge of power courses through his insectoid form. His wings, exoskeleton, and overall size undergo further enhancements. Nyx stands amidst the conquered worker ants.
Now, armed with the newfound strength of Level 6, Nyx turns his attention back to the Soldier Ant. The forest, witness to his relentless journey, awaits the outcome of the impending confrontation between the assassin of the insect world and the formidable Soldier Ant.

A surge of anticipation courses through Nyx as he contemplates the newly acquired skill. "I should use this newly acquired skill of mine," he declares, excitement evident in his insectoid voice. The Precision Strike skill, acquired just after reaching Level 6, promises a lethal precision that Nyx is eager to put to the test.
As for how he got it, he doesn't have a clue. Nyx just thinks it must be because he always kills his enemies with a precise strike.
Without wasting any more time, Nyx descends with a swift swoop, his enhanced wings carrying him toward the lone Level 5 Soldier Ant. The two sickle-like front legs of Nyx glow a menacing red as he readies for the Precision Strike. His multifaceted eyes focus intently on the target, the anticipation of a successful beheading vivid in Nyx's insectoid gaze.
However, in a sudden twist of fate, the Soldier Ant beneath him reacts unexpectedly. The ant shifts its position, avoiding the precise trajectory of Nyx's attack. The glow of Nyx's sickle legs grazes the ant's exoskeleton, but the hardened shell resists the full impact. Instead of cleanly beheading the ant, Nyx's strike only manages to slice through part of its body.
"I'm dead..." Nyx mutters, a mix of frustration and realization in his voice. The consequences of engaging the Soldier Ant become apparent as the forest air hangs heavy with the aftermath of the encounter.
In the next moment, the situation takes a dire turn. Five Soldier Ants arrive at the scene, a formidable force comprised of three Level 5 ants and two Level 6 ants. The forest, once Nyx's playground, becomes a battleground as the Soldier Ants position themselves for an attack.
immediate assault on Nyx, utilizing their Venom Bullet skill. Swift and lethal, the venomous attacks home in on Nyx, who responds with an uncanny display of agility. Nyx contorts his insectoid body in bizarre, unpredictable ways, narrowly dodging each incoming attack.
While evading the onslaught, Nyx curses himself, "Damn, I can't even fly right now. I need to wait for a few minutes to fly again. I'm such a dumbass; I got too confident that I could kill that Soldier Ant in one attack."
As Nyx sprints and dodges through the oversized vegetation, he observes, "The two Soldier Ants are catching up with me." The relentless pursuit intensifies, forcing Nyx to push his agility to the limit.
The Level 6 Soldier Ant, demonstrating enhanced strength, closes the distance with Nyx. In a swift maneuver, the ant lunges with its razor-sharp mandibles, aiming for Nyx's vulnerable exoskeleton. Nyx reacts in the nick of time, using his sickle-like front leg to block the attack. The clash of exoskeletons is like two swords, as Nyx struggles to hold his ground.
Attempting to counterattack, Nyx's sickle leg slashes at the Level 6 Soldier Ant's tough exoskeleton. However, the result is less than satisfactory. Nyx's attack merely leaves a scratch on the formidable armor, emphasizing the resilience of his opponent.
Amidst the chaotic dance of mandibles and sickle-like legs, Nyx faces a new challenge. Another Level 6 Soldier Ant arrives at the scene, joining the relentless assault. The ant, swift and determined, attacks Nyx from behind with its razor-sharp mandibles. In the blink of an eye, Nyx, late to detect the incoming threat, receives a deep slash across his back.
The pain that follows is unlike anything Nyx has experienced since his days as a human. He can feel the searing discomfort radiating through his insectoid form, the sensation amplified by the precision of the Soldier Ant's attack. Nyx, unable to contain his visceral reaction, blurts out, "That hurts, mother*****."
Driven by a mix of pain and instinct, Nyx swiftly jumps, using his enhanced wings to gain altitude. In mid-air, he activates his newly acquired Precision Strike skill. With deadly precision, Nyx plummets towards one of the Level 6 Soldier Ants, his sickle front leg gleaming with a menacing red glow.
The impact is swift and lethal. Nyx's sickle pierces through the Soldier Ant's exoskeleton, delivering a fatal blow.
However, the fight is far from over. The remaining Soldier Ants continue their relentless pursuit. As Nyx descends, he nimbly dodges the retaliatory attacks of the other Level 6 Soldier Ant. The forest, a silent witness to the intricate battle, conceals the intense struggle within its vast expanse.
These minute combatants, barely visible to the eyes of a passing human, engage in a dance of life and death. Nyx, wounded but determined, maneuvers with agility and precision, seeking an advantage in the relentless onslaught.
In the midst of the chaos, Nyx reflects on the consequences of his overconfidence. Each decision becomes crucial in this fantastical forest, where survival demands a delicate balance between strategy and instinct.
