Chereads / Dungeons of the world, Ace's story / Chapter 49 - The Ant Hill

Chapter 49 - The Ant Hill

In the morning Ace wakes up to a bunch of sounds in his head.

"Ding... Devouring Sand Golem has gained 50 stamina."

"Ding... Devouring Sand Golem has grown to level 20."

"Ding... Devouring Sand Golem's Encasement has grown to power level 3."

Ace looks at his now human sized golem impressed. He gets up and finds his wind hawk landing giving him a report on the land around him.

"Hmmm... I see the glass village as turned to dust, interesting. And you found the Giant Ants Home? we will go there immediately." he says out loud, he eats his breakfast and puts the golem away and hops on the wind hawk to head to the Ants home.

High above in the vast expanse of the sky, Ace's eyes fixated on the remarkable sight unfolding below, the giant ants scurry about with astonishing strength and precision, moving massive boulders and shifting mounds of sand with remarkable efficiency, Ace couldn't help but marvel at their synchronized efforts. Each ant played a vital role in the intricate dance of construction, working in perfect harmony to build and fortify their towering hill, a testament to their resilience and unity as a community.

As he watched the industrious creatures toil away, their collective determination evident in every coordinated movement, Ace found himself captivated by the sheer scale of their endeavour. The giant hill taking shape before his eyes stood as a monument to the ingenuity and perseverance of these remarkable insects, their tireless labour a reminder of the boundless wonders that thrived in the world, even in what he thought was a lifeless desert.

Ace lands nearby and puts his wind hawk away. Drawing his sword and shield he walks slowly towards the giant ants.

one notices him and a swarm of 10 crawl his way, after scanning them they seam to be Workers, slightly weaker than before.

The 10 ants surround Ace, as Ace quickly realised he is outmatched due to their swarm blessing. He summons Winfred, the wind Hawk and the sand golem to help assist while quickly summoning a skeleton golem to help too. Ace jumps on the wind hawk and takes his time to activate, Rock Wrecker, Forest guardian and stat boost. he quickly realised that even more ants have started to swarm into the surrounding area causing severe damage to his sand golem. He quickly puts the sand golem away. Winfred seams to be holding himself but is also taking heaps of damage, Ace puts Winfred away and flees on the wind hawks back.

Suddenly a giant rock appears in Ace's vision, in slow Mo he draws his shield and blocks the giant rock while also activating Heal pulse and a Warp stone.

Within milliseconds the giant rock strikes Aces shields shattering the giant rock and sending Ace and the wind hawk plummeting to the ground. Ace puts the wind hawk away and lands on the ground in a big explosion of sand, glass and blood. The warp stone finally activates taking him to the centre of the town with a broken right arm, left and right leg and broken left hand, along with scratches and various other bruises all over him. slowly the smaller wounds fade away slower than people can see. Ace blacks out due to the pain, the guards rush him to a hospital where for 3 weeks he remained in critical condition.
