Clang!
Fending off Ants attacks. Ma Dongwook nervously shouted.
"Hae-In!"
*Swooosh!
Immediately, leaping forward. Cha Hae-In pierced ants with her dagger, slicing them from top to bottom.
*Slice!
*Splurt!
"Their bodies are pretty tough." Cha Hae-In exclaimed.
*Rumble!
The next second, the entire cave rumbling.
*Boooom!
"Fireball!" Nakia chanted. Her royal staff, conjuring a gigantic Fireball.
*Fwoosh!
*Sizzle!
She burned all ants in front of her into crisps.
'Hot!' Cha Hae-In inwardly exclaimed, feeling the temperature turning hot.
"Ice Javelin" Alard spoke, tens of ice formed in javelin appearing above him.
*Whooosh!
*Stab!
*Pierce!
All ants in the javelin range died, getting their body impaled by the icy javelin.
*Smash!
Baek Yoonho smashed a few ants, deforming their bodies.
*Fwoooosh!
Choi Jong-In, throwing fire spears all around.
*Whooosh!
Min Byung-Gyu used his buff magic. Buffing everyone's strength.
'This is buff magic? I guess it is pretty useful.' Alard exclaimed, checking his body.
He felt his power increasing by a bit.
"Woah, So this magic is the same as that of Daeva!" Nakia exclaimed, though she felt this Daeva buff magic was superior to this buff magic.
*Sniff!
*Sniff!
"This smell. Probably belongs to the Queen. I think she is with her guard as well." Cha Hae-In stated. She sniffed her surroundings.
"Let me check." Baek Yoonho then said. Using his beastly eyes of beast.
*Whirr!
'That's the Queen?' Baek Yoonho exclaimed nervously.
The Ant Queen was an enormous ant with chitinous white armor and pale lavender eyes.
"The Queen is very back… And, there are eight guards with her." Baek Yoonho reported what he saw.
Alard observing the whole island. He felt the Ant King going to rampage.
'Ant Queen is just a breeding material. She isn't that much of a trouble. But, the same couldn't be said with Ant King.' Alard thought.
"Since, the Queen is right before us. Let's charge in." Alard said, stepping forward.
Others looking at him weirdly.
"Shouldn't we make a plan first?" Choi Jong-In said.
"Make plans? We don't have time for that. How long do you think? Those Japanese Hunters can handle these never ending ants." Alard said. Ignoring other viewpoints. He walked forward.
…
…
"They are currently in the Queen's chamber! The largest ant ever witnessed by mankind is standing before our Hunters!"
"Woah! Hunter Alard is charging toward Queen first! He is completely ignoring the Queen's guards!"
*Kaboooom!
"Woah! Hunter Nakia killed a Queen guard in one blow!"
Watching the live raid.
Sung Jinwoo, turned toward the kitchen.
His mom washing the dishes.
'It has been one day since I cleared the Demon Castle Dungeon. And, also cured my mother from her eternal slumber.' Sung Jinwoo thought. His eyes shining purple, he observed Alard attacks.
'What happened in that Red Gate. I must find it out.' He thought.
"Woah! Hunter Baek used his beast form!"
Sung Jinwoo heard the commentary.
Baek Yoonho turning into a huge white furred werewolf.
"What! What is happening? All ants around the island are gathering around the Queen Chamber!"
…
…
*Stomp!
*Stomp!
Ant Queen charged forward. She tried chomping down Min Byung-Gyu.
*Slam!
Ma Dongwook interrupts the Queen's attack with his shield.
"I won't let you attack our healer easily." He exclaimed. The next second, Alard charging forward.
"Dragon Lighting!" He summoned forth lighting, taking the form of a dragon.
*Zii Zii!
*Boooom!
It struck the Queen. Her entire body electrified.
'Good! She is almost dead!' Baek Yoonho thought, sharpening his claws. He was about to attack the Queen.
When…
"Roaaaaaar!" The Queen roared loudly. A huge surge of mana leaking out of her body.
Cha Hae-In with her enhanced speed. She stabbed the Queen head, slicing it from its top to bottom.
*Thud!
The Queen falled to the ground.
The Queen died!
"It's… over right?" Cha Hae-In questioned. She looked at the carcass of Ant Queen.
*Rumble!
"Guys! I just got a report. Apparently, the ants are swarming toward us as we speak! We have to get out of here." Ma Dongwook exclaimed. A woki toki in his hand.
"What?!"
"But we still have time left! Does that mean, the Japanese can't hold this want off anymore?" Choi Jong-In exclaimed, nervously. When…
*Vrooom!
A menacing energy, filling the chamber.
All Korean S-rank Hunters falling to there knees.
Alard and Nakia were the only ones standing tall.
Step!
Step!
The beast revealed itself.
It was a huge humanoid ant with a black armored exoskeleton, glowing red eyes, sharp claws, two small pincers extending from his abdomen, and two transparent ant wings.
*Swooosh!
Using its Immense Speed. Ant King, in a blink of seconds. Arrived right in front of the dead Ant Queen.
'Ha.. How? He walked right pass through us?'
*Ba-dum!
*Ba-dum!
The pressure became heavy. Ant King touching the dead carcass of Queen.
He finally confirmed his mother was dead.
"Rooooaaar!" Ant King roared in rage. It's eyes are shining dangerously red.
*Whoosh!
He appeared right behind cha Hae-In. Raising his fist. He was about to punch her. Cha Hae-In froze in her place.
*Swooosh!
*Bam!
*Wham!
When, a cold hand wrapped around her waist. Pulling her closer.
Cha Hae-In was surprised. Her face was stuffed in Alard's chest.
Cha Hae-In blushed, feeling her waist getting wrapped around by Alard.
When, She realized what situation they were in. Immediately, turning behind. She saw the Ant King crashed near the wall of the Chamber.
"Rooooaaar!" Ant King roared, getting up from the crash. He used his Immense Speed once again.
*Whoosh!
He appeared right in front of Ma Dongwook.
"Ugh..!" Ma Dongwook raised his shield to block the Ant King.
*Crush!
When his shield was crushed into pieces by Ant King.
"Rooooaar!" Ant King roared, slicing off Ma Dongwook arms.
*Whooosh!
"Gughh!" Ma Dongwook vomited blood.
When, Ant King sensed two arrows charging his way.
*Grab!
'It… grabbed my arrows?' Lim Tae-Gyu questioned, sweating all over.
*Swooosh!
Ant King appeared in front of Lim Tae-Gyu.
*Pow!
Punching him. He was sent flying.
*Stomp!
When, Ma Dongwook tackled back Ant King. His chopped off arms once again growing.
"My arms may have been cut off. But, I have Byung-Gyu by my side." Ma Dongwook smirked.
While, a little far away from them.
"Master? Won't we join the fun?" Nakia asked. Currently, she and Alard were just observing the scene from far away.
"We will. But, wait for a while. We can kill that Ant King, with a little effort. But, we won't get enough frames with it. Let the tension around the battlefield reach its peak…"
"... We will reveal ourselves, after all their hopes to survive from Ant King ends.." Alarm exclaimed, watching the fainted Cha Hae-In laying on the floor.
*Bam!
*Bam!
*Bam!
Ant King ferociously attacked Baek Yoonho.
*Slice!
*Thud!
Ant King, sliced off Baek Yoonho. The next second, a green light covering his body. His arms growed back....
"Kii!" Ant King grunted in annoyance. He glared at the camouflaged Min Byung-Gyu.
Its eyes radiating killing intent toward Byung-Gyu.
'What! He found me? But I am under disguise.'
"Byung-Gyu!" Baek Yoonho shouted, feeling the killing intent of Ant King directing toward Byung-Gyu.
*Swooosh!
*Penetrate!
Ant King rushed behind Byung-Gyu. He penetrated his claws inside Byung-Gyu's body.
"Noo!!!"
A huge hole in his chest. Byung-Gyu vomited blood, his face horrified.
"Yoonho.. " he muttered. When, Ant King grabbed his neck.
*Chomp!
He chomped down the entire head of Byung-Gyu. All Hunter's eyes widened from shock and fear.
*Chomp!
*Chomp!
Ant King slowly devoured Min Byung-Gyu.
"Hii? Weak.." Ant King suddenly spoke. Shocking, not only the Korean Hunters.
But, all Hunters that were watching it from television.
"You.. all are weak. Our Queen.. was defeated.. Killing all the soldiers on your side, won't be enough…"
"... Who is your King?" Ant King asked. He glared toward everyone presented in the chamber.
All of them were weak.
While, all were on their knees.
"I'm the King!" when a loud announcement rang in the chamber.
Gaining everyone's attention.
It was Alard! He had an iron sword in his hand, a smirk filled face.
"You.. are King? You!" Ant King shouted, his wings fluttering.
*Buzzzz!
He flew straight in front of Alard.
*Pow!
*Wham!
Alard quickly jabbed the Ant King face.
"Kghh!" Ant King grunted, once again crashing to the wall.
"Strong.. You are the King!" Ant King exclaimed, sharpening his claw.
Entire world attention was grabbed in this fight.
*Buzzz!
Fluttering its wings. Ant King charged forward, clashing against the Alard sword with his own claw.
*Clang!
*Cling!
Everyone was shocked with their clash.
Fire sparked through the chamber. Sound of metal colliding echoed in the chamber.
'Th.. This. Is he this strong?' Choi Jong-In questioned. He was bleeding from his right arm.
'That speed.. Even my eyes can't keep up with there speed.' Baek Yoonho exclaimed. He was too shocked, with an Alard display of strength. He had the decapitated Min Byung-Gyu with him.
*Bam!
"Bam!
"Strong..!" Ant King grunted. He fends off the sword strikes of Alard, using healing magic he gained from Min Byung-Gyu to heal himself.
"Is that all you have?" Alarm said. Three black tomoe appeared in his red pupils.
He used Attack Prediction to easily predict the Ant King attack. He wanted to make this battle a grand fight.
Because.. with this. He will be known world-wide.
Which will make many S-rank Hunters all around the world to participate in his upcoming tournament.
He needed as many S-rank Hunter in his tournament as possible.
*Pow!
*Bam!
Alard punched the jaw of Ant King.
And the Ant King kicking him.
*Clang!
Both of their weapons collided.
'What is with this crazy battle. Is he even a human, with that monstrous strength.' many viewers thought. They all were left speechless with the power of Alard.
While, the entire world was viewing the battle.
The Goliath of America watched the battle with interest.

A/N:
This arc is soon reaching it's end.
I am deciding to take..
Querehsha
Cha Hae-In
Kanae Tawata
Yoo Soohyun
And..
As for Sung Jinwoo's sister. She is a useful pawn in the ending of this arc.
So, I want to just ask. Should, I kill Sung Jinah (Jinwoo sister) in the end. Or take her?
(FUCK! My 15 year old hormone mind is telling me to take all girls…
But I won't! Otherwise it will ruin the story more than it currently is.)
