Chapter 499 - Fighting Ant Queen
Theo hurriedly made his way through the ants and arrived in front of the queen while Clone Theo followed close behind him before making a complete stop, hindering the ants that wanted to attack Theo.
The moment he arrived in front of the queen, Theo waved his spear as if swinging a club.
The queen opened her mouth and bit it, stopping the spear.
Normally, the ant wouldn't be able to hold his attack this easily, but Theo noticed the red glow around her mouth.
The fire started to rise around her mouth, planning to burn the spear.
Theo clicked his tongue and took a step back, pulling his spear out of the mouth.
However, the ant queen refused to let Theo's spear go. In fact, she even pulled him while holding the spear's handle with her hands.
She then released the extraordinary power of an ant and began to move back, dragging Theo and his spear together.
"…" Theo realized the queen was stronger than he first expected.
Not wanting to lose his spear, Theo stomped the ground with all his energy and cracked it.
The queen was confused by Theo's action and lowered her vision, finding Theo didn't do much damage.
His Magic Power then revolved in his body crazily.
Since he couldn't pull it back, he wanted to use the queen's strength to beat herself.
"Magic Augmentation."
"Flowmotion." Theo smiled and stepped on the ground, launching himself into the air while dragging the spear up.
Because Theo didn't have any footing to step on, the spear ended up lining up with the queen's head instead of her body. He then loosened his grip and allowed the queen's strength to work its wonder.
The spear moved to her body because of the pulling force and hit her on the head.
Bang.
It was a powerful hit, considering Theo added Telekinesis in his attack.
The queen stepped back, wailing in agony.
The other ants heard her cry and turned around, wanting to help her. However, Clone Theo used his Blink to disappear.
The ants were confused for a second but found Theo arriving next to the baby ant and smacked his head, killing it.
[Killed a Baby Blazing Ant.]
[EXP+800]
"The EXP aside, killing a baby really doesn't feel good." Clone Theo muttered, asking himself, 'What if the baby was a puppy or a kitten? Wouldn't I feel worse than this?'
Clone Theo shook his head and said, "Sorry. I gotta do it."
Seeing how Clone Theo killed their newborn kin, the ants rushed toward Theo in anger.
Clone Theo could even sense their killing intent as their body was covered in fire.
He moved away and lured the ants to the other side of the room, so Theo could fight the queen without interruptions.
Theo, on the contrary, maintained his poker face, realizing the queen's power. Her grips seemed to be stronger than he expected, so Theo certainly didn't want to give this spear to her, knowing the queen might have the ability to destroy it.
Hence, Theo aimed at the queen's back, hitting her from the blindspot.
As if noticing Theo's action, the queen's wings stretched out and flapped, smacking Theo from the sides.
Theo gritted his teeth and got hit several times. Even so, he couldn't let go of his spear. Instead of focusing on the wings, Theo raised his foot, preparing to snap the queen in half with his Cannon Blast.
Yet, the queen spun her body upside down, trying to crush Theo with her weight.
"Tsk." Theo clicked his tongue and used his Blink to avoid it.
At the same time, Theo hit the queen's body with his fist.
The queen's body shook uncontrollably and let go of Theo's spear while flying away, avoiding Theo at all cost.
She stayed on the ceiling, trying to see what Theo was going to do.
On the contrary, Theo calmly grabbed his spear, confused. He didn't know the queen had such a reaction, considering he had yet to crush her body.
"What's that?" Theo tilted his head.
Before solving his questions, Theo was forced to turn around and raise his spear because the Ant General had slipped past his clone and was about to bite him.
Theo used his Telekinesis to launch himself upward and flew toward the queen.
This shocked both the queen and the general.
Theo might not realize it, but the queen had been asking for help this whole time.
And the moment the queen was hurt, the Ant General didn't care about his body anymore and flew to the queen to protect her.
However, Theo flew toward her and threw his spear before they could do anything.
The queen hurriedly avoided it while Theo turned into an eagle.
He pulled the spear planted on the ceiling with his Telekinesis and stopped the queen with his talons.
The queen raised her hands to block Theo's talon, but he had covered it with his Cannon Blast.
The collision ended up snapping the queen's right hand.
"Is the Ant Queen this weak?" Theo furrowed his eyebrows. "I wonder what are the characteristics of an ant queen back on Earth…"
Theo didn't know why the queen behaved this way, but considering the queen's job was to lay eggs while the rest protected her, he thought the queen might be weaker than he thought.
His point was proven when the ant general climbed the wall to help her.
At the same time, the other ants started leaving Clone Theo one by one, chasing after the Eagle Theo in the air.
"I see…" Theo squinted his eyes. "Well, killing the queen is the same as destroying the entire colony since they can't produce offspring anymore. I guess this will make my job easier."
Suddenly, cracking noises began to appear around the room, alarming Theo.
His eyes glanced back and forth and found several eggs beginning to hatch.
"This is not good," Theo muttered, realizing he needed to fight more than this.
Although he was confident he could easily defeat a level 100 ant, he needed more time to handle so many of them at once, especially since there were still the stronger ants around.
"Thirty or forty…" Theo calculated them and summoned his Magic Bullets.
