269 Transcendence

"How's the arena coming along?" Compass Carburettor asked the ant queen through telepathy, wondering just where it had gone by.

"We're almost done, having dug up a hole that is a kilometre deep and has a cylindrical radius of twenty metres. There's only the twenty-metre layer of earth at the top that's left." The ant queen replied, having already increased the numbers in her colony.

And with the recent influx of ant corpses, she had laid down even more eggs, continuing to expand the size of her nest. As Compass Carburettor was destroying one nest after another, it was easy for theirs to expand.

"How are you feeling?" He then asked Grisha, causing the other party to nod in response, offering a thumbs up.

"I've reached the limit at 1000 Darlac. Now, I'll only have to train accordingly as you said and hope I reach Transcendence eventually." She replied.
