Chapter 34 : The least human ant

Morel and Shoot, who had finally decided to come to James' aid after Shaiapouf had escaped from Morel's smoke barrier, stopped when they saw the terrifying sight in front of them.

"How is it possible to have such power, this is not a fight you can take part in." Morel said, taking off his sunglasses.

"They're both monsters, my instinct tells me to run away just by watching them fight." Said Shoot while taking a deep breath trying to calm down.

The confrontation intensified James and Youpi exchanged dozens of blows every second, the ground under their feet cracked under the power of their attacks, both were as if plunged into a strange state.

The time seemed to be compressed to its maximum, they did not pay any more attention to their environment, they were like the only two in the world.

"My anger intensifies, I have never been so angry, I feel like my mind is being burned by an intense flame, my strength grows every second, but strangely I am calm, this feeling....."

Youpi whose strength had been reduced by a technique of his enemie felt at that moment, a strange and inexplicable feeling.

He was usually someone violent, someone who let his emotions explode without thinking.

He was currently in a state that allowed him to anticipate every move of his opponent and he knew that his opponent was also in this strange state, both felt every emotion of the other.

James could feel the self-sacrifice and desire for evolution in each of Youpi's attacks.

Youpi, who was fighting against him, could also feel all his emotions, his will that materialized almost every time he threw his fists, he could see in the eyes of this human an inflexible will, each of his blows contained no malice, hatred or anger, just the pure intention to defeat his opponent.

Youpi was a simple being who had no desire of his own, no ambition or superfluous emotions apart from his unfailing devotion to his king.

But for the first time in his short life as an ant, despite the unprecedented anger he felt, an additional, vague and strange emotion that was still unknown to him developed within him.

"Admiration'

But this sudden and strange admiration, pushed the ant to redouble its efforts.

"If this human can reach such a state of serenity, so can I."

Youpi then let his anger explode through his aura, He had a big smile on his lips as his eyes turned scarlet red, his body swelled and his aura volume increased rapidly.

James' face did not change, he was calm and stoic, despite the horrible power emanating from his opponent.

His heart was calm, without fluctuation, he moved forward, he concentrated his aura to the extreme in his fists which turned incandescent blue.

The aura given off by the two were so violent that everything in the vicinity was swept away, Morel and Shoot hiding in the distance feeling the explosive aura of Youpi, withdrew without hesitation.

"If they exploded with such an aura the entire palace and everything inside would be annihilated."

Morel thought before he stopped and then took a great puff of smoke which he spat out with all his might creating a barrier of smoke that surrounded the entire royal garden.

At the same time James hit Youpi.

*BAM*

James' punche was so violent that Youpi's body was deformed by the shock waves of impact, but that didn't stop him, his body quickly returned to its normal state and his aura became even more violent.

"AGH!

His screaming echoed throughout the palace, drawing everyone's attention, but James did not stop.

He gave him a second blow, then a third...

*BAM* *BAM* *BAM*

The bones in James' arm were completely broken, his flesh was shattered and blood spurted from his arms, but he continued to hit Youpi with all his might again and again.

Youpi's body was constantly deformed and wounded, even though his exceptional body was healing, he felt his aura weakening rapidly.

He could no longer move, he was at the mercy of James' blows, which were so powerful, that he felt close to something he had never considered before.

Death.

Youpi was very special among ants, because he was the only one that came from the genes of a demon that the queen had devoured, but despite this he had a slight humanity in him, although this human part of him, was weak and represented very little in his genetic heritage, it reacted at that moment.

The most primary and primordial human instinct, the one that made humanity a race above the food chain, awakened in this being who was the least human of all ants.

"Survival instinct."

This had a terrifying effect on the monstrous beast that he was.

The aura of Youpi disappeared in a fraction of a second, his body deformed by itself, his skin became completely black, his body reached the size of three meters, the features of his face became more human and his eyes turned blue, two large horns appeared on his skull, his hooves turned into human feet and two large wings appeared on his back.

James' aura increased frantically, doubling in a matter of seconds, but this did not make him feel any joy because the pressure that the opponent in front of him made him feel was enormous.

Without giving James time to react, Yippi, who clenched his fists with a slight smile, hit him offhandedly with the back of his hand at such a high speed that James could not even see the blow.

He was struck violently and thrown like a cannonball, he rolled on the ground several times before his body hit a building.
