Chapter 45
—---------
After sucking up all of the low-level Red Ants hanging around outside the ant hill, Astaroth entered through the ant hill's topmost entrance.
"Sceech Screech!!"
During his journey through the confined tunnels of the ant hill, Astaroth met more than one Red Ant, and in every single encounter, he either used a slashing ability or just straight up absorbed them. Either way, they wound up inside his stomach and subsequently became his strength.
Although Astaroth was still within the Adolescent Development Phase, he was rapidly nearing the upper limits of this stage.
He expected his next Energy Overflow to arrive during his upcoming battle with the Red Ant Royal Guards.
"Speaking of the Royal Guards," Astaroth said as he looked toward one of the many dug-out tunnels. "The first one has decided to come out and greet the guest ahead of schedule."
"Esceeetch!!!"
BANG! BANG! BANG!
