Chapter 0039: The Shortcomings Visible To The Naked Eye! 

After a while.

The dense crowd of killer ants seemed to be hunters who sensed their prey and gathered toward Yami's position.

The location had been carefully selected and could be described as perfect.

The narrow passage limited the number of killer ants that could pass through. Even though the killer ants were terrifying, few monsters could come before them.

Yami frowned slightly as he looked at the monsters emerging one after another in the passage and the wall as if they were giving birth.

The unique chirping sound of ants echoed in his ears, enough to make most people feel a tingling scalp.

Yami's expression was calm as usual, and he held his right hand in the air, and the exclusive Nichirin Sword appeared in the palm of his hand.

 Not only was its blade straight, but it also had a handle that could be held with both hands.

This was probably the blade created by the system based on the expectations in his mind.

"The quantity is still considerable, so... I am happy!"

A slight murmur sounded, and Yami, holding a Sword in both hands, rushed forward.

Countless killer ants roared and swarmed in groups.

Chi!

Chi!

Chi! 

Chi! 

Chi! 

Chi!

In the empty dungeon, the silent passage was filled with the sounds of ants and collisions.

The sharp blade sliced ​​across, easily cutting the killer ant in front of him.

Yami's figure was moving around in the crowd of monsters. Each Sword killed a killer ant while avoiding the sharp teeth attacks of other killer ants around him.

If it was an attack that couldn't be avoided, he simply moved and took it at a less fatal part of the body.

This would also increase the endurance stat.

As time passed, Yami gradually got used to the attacking methods of the killer ants.

Even though the number of monsters around was still huge, they could no longer oppress him too much. At this time, fighting was no longer fighting but an art.

"This is no longer pressuring, so let's go deeper!"

Yami kept moving his hands, but his heart was extremely active, "But before that, let's get rid of this group of killer ants in front."

"So…"

His expression froze, and he kicked a killer ant out with one kick and raised the Nichirin Sword in his hand suddenly, and with each breath, he suddenly sent out a high-speed slash.

"Flame Breathing Fourth form—Blooming Flame!"

In an instant, swordsmanship, like a vortex of flames, left the body, and the dense sword edge smashed all the monsters in front of him to pieces.

A vacuum zone instantly appeared in the narrow passage, and the air was filled with the smell of burning flames.

"Second form—Rising Scorching Sun!"

The Nichirin Sword from the bottom up cuts down the monsters falling from the hole above the head.

Yami's movements didn't stop, and he swung the Sword again with the inertia of forward and falling, and his whole person instantly exuded an unstoppable might.

"Third Form—Blazing Universe!"

A fiery slash from top to bottom pierced through the oncoming killer ants and hit the place where the monsters were most dense.

"boom!!!"

When the sword energy fell to the ground, the monsters in the area were instantly shattered, and some of them seemed to be burned by flames, and the concussion caused by the explosion spread to the surroundings.

In an instant, the crowded monster tide emptied part of the area.

However, the vacated area was quickly filled by subsequent killer ants.

Looking at the number of monsters that didn't seem to have decreased much, Yami frowned slightly and, at the same time, couldn't help being slightly speechless.

"Tsk, it's really difficult. This amount is really beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even I am a little tired so I can't delay any longer."

Due to the strenuous exercise just now, Yami was a little out of breath.

Although he had acquired many powerful skills through the travel simulation, his most basic body had not been significantly enhanced, and the only thing that was bestowed was skills and experience.

Although the killer ants in front of him were not considered strong, they were huge in number.

So, it was time to end this battle! 

"Flame Breathing Fifth Form— Flame Tiger!!!"

Perhaps because of the magic power, the flame generated by Yami's thrust turned into a flaming tiger, roaring and attacking the killer ants.

The terrifying flames devoured many killer ants, and the shrill screams resounded throughout the passage.

"Crackling~"

There were sounds like fried chestnuts one after another, and the smell of burning made Yami subconsciously hold his breath.

The remaining killer ants gathered, and the top of the cave cracked open again.

An individual clearly different from ordinary killer ants sprang out, making piercing screams and constantly provoking.

As soon as it landed, a lot of dust was thrown up.

Obviously, this was an enhanced species used by dungeons to clean up adventurers, and there was only a very small chance of it appearing. Yami didn't expect to encounter it.

"Do you still want to struggle to the death? Then I will destroy you completely!"

"Flame Breathing, Ninth Form—RENGOKU!!!"

Boom!! 

The flame column roared past, and everything along the way was completely shattered.

Even the magic stone in the monster's body was burned to the ground by the terrifying flames.

"Om~"

The Nichirin Sword in his hand swung violently and then slowly retracted into the scabbard.

Looking back, there was only a line of corpses behind him.
