THE BLACK GOD OF DEATH
CH. 112

After Zapdas and Vind fully recovered, thanks to the help of Astia and some Healong Potions given by Sanzun. It seemed that the two of them were able to move around as freely as ever, and even they felt much better than before.

The bone pain they used to feel in the joints of the hands and feet has now disappeared. And thanks to that they feel more comfortable to move, without worrying about having to feel pain when moving like before. They also thanked Astia who had helped their healing.

" Thank you for the help! " Say Zapdas and Vind slightly bowed.

Astia responded with just a nod of her head. After that he left Zapdas and Vind.

Zapdas and Vind saw Astia leave, they could only remain silent. Pondering their defeat, from the blonde-haired young girl in the fight earlier. They are ashamed to admit that they are great people who are feared by many. Their faces this time were right on the slap so hard they could say nothing.

Sanzun walked up to the two of them who were silent. Proudly raising his burly chest while saying "Hehehe, didn't you guys just underestimate us? So then... What do you think? My master is great, isn't he? " Sanzun said with his arrogant face. Proud of himself, and also proud of his master.

Zapdas let out his breath, bowing his head sincerely he said "I'm sorry for underestimating you... But, I didn't expect you to come here with such a strong person. " Said Zapdas.

Sanzun laughed satisfiedly at that, staring at Zapdas and Vind after he laughed. However, after that his face turned serious. Thinking of something while muttering "If these two people aren't fighting, I'm afraid they've lost their lives... And I don't know what happened to them... " Sanzun murmured seriously. Thinking about it made him sweat while remembering those black soldiers. He could no longer imagine how terrifying his master was. " Just at a glance I told him about the two of them, but I didn't expect the two of them to be forced into such a miserable situation in just a few minutes. Master is so terrible, he is so dangerous! " Continue Sanzun while airing the horror of his master.

Sanzun looked at them, both confused as to why Sanzun was staring at them. Sanzun let out his breath, looked at them seriously while saying "Now we are in the same position, becoming a subordinate of Lord Sakaki. But, I can say that we can be considered good, because we are not so badly injured as you received earlier. I'll tell you, even if you look young, but don't look at him from his age. But from his actions and decisiveness! The plan was amazing, maybe it was the best. If you follow him, I guarantee you won't suffer! But you can imagine what happens if you defect... " Sanzun said seriously. Warn them not to act the way they can.

Hearing that, Zapdas and Vind could only be speechless as they opened their eyes wide, with slightly pale and sweaty faces. Given how they were subjugated earlier, they could not even imagine what if they turned away from it. Perhaps they would not be able to avoid his death, but would they really die? Can they die by closing their eyes? Both of them were confused and could not imagine what would happen to them.

The two looked at each other seriously, neither of them spoke up. Because they have run out of words to express everything in words.

" What are we going to do? Are we going to go in there? " Task Vind to Sanzun while pointing towards the insect monster's nest.

" Yes, we'll go in there with you and the others. Because it was the monster's nest that became our main goal. " Answer Sanzun.

Hearing that, Vind was no longer surprised. Seeing the huge number of bandits gathered in this place, it was certain that their goal was the nest of insect monsters. With this amount, there is a possibility that this time it can complete a Dungeon that has never been completed for 5 years.

" That's great, with this amount, we can conquer it easily! " Said Vind excitedly.

Sanzun was surprised to hear that, looking at Vind while saying "What are you saying? There were only 20 people who went in there including us. " Reply Sanzun.

Hearing that, Vind became surprised, because the ones that would enter the dungeon were not even up to five percent of their numbers. Vind became hesitant after hearing that, because it was impossible that they would be able to complete this Dungeon with just 20 people. Even the many adventurer groups that formed an alliance whose number of members exceeded 100 people, were still unable to complete it. What's more, now that will enter only 20 people, according to Vind it is very impossible.

" Sister! Are you ready?!! We're going inside now!! " Said Bass loudly as he walked closer to Sanzun along with the others including Xi.

Since their group was ready, they were as bright as entering the dungeon. And for the other bandits who did not participate in the attack, they would remain outside what guard if there was an adventurer party that wanted to enter the dungeon.

Xi ordered them to stand guard outside, and forbade any adventurer party to enter the Dungeon before they exited the Dungeon. The order they received with pleasure, especially their work only made sure to keep watch outside and not come inside. Those who wait outside are grateful not to enter that terrible place.

Arriving at them in the ant dungeon, there looked like a tunnel made by the ants as a way in. However, it was so dark in there that it was so hard to see the road. The meeting of the place, until - until there is not the slightest light that enters to illuminate the road.

Because it is difficult to see in a dark place, it reminds humans that they cannot see well in the dark. Xi asked Rots to make an illumination with a torch.

" It's too dark... Rots, make a light. " Pinta Xi to Rots. Simultaneously, he also muttered "For me it doesn't matter if there is no illumination, because I can see in the darkness thanks to the dragon eyes I have, but not with them. " Murm Xi.

Rots understands. Later, he gave rise to a fireball as an initial illumination. " Hurry up and light the torch! " Rots orders to other bandits.

Hearing Rots' orders, the bandits blames the torches they carry in the bags they carry at the time. And there were four bandits holding torches that had been wronged, and the rest were tasked with guarding the bandits carrying torches.

After all the torches had gone wrong, they could see clearly what was around them. They were quite surprised, because there were many holes - large holes like a barrel in every corner of the hall. And there were also many holes - small holes that were about the size of a bucket of water.

" What - what the hell is this... Why are there no monsters? Not as usual! " Said Alans confusedly looking at the situation.

" Weird... Around here there was also not the slightest movement... Did all the monsters escape? " Continue Bass confusedly while asking.

" This is not as usual, usually in a dungeon there will be some monsters that welcome our arrival! " Connect Rots.

They were all confused by the situation where when they entered the dungeon, they did not find any monsters. They also felt very strange about the situation they were in at the moment. This was unlike high-level Dungeons in general that had many guard monsters in every dungeon entrance.

In their confused situation, something from inside a hole that was there moved very quickly. It looked like the fast-moving creature was very interested in the torch light that the bandits were blaming.

They were all unaware of the creature's existence, and quickly came out of one of the holes present there, and attacked them.

THE SLAHSS! Xi yany from the beginning realized the existence of the creature thanks to his good listeners, he was able to kill the creature very easily, with just one slash of his katana when the creature just came out of the hole.

" WHAT! " Everyone was surprised to see Xi had killed one of the monsters they didn't even realize the monsters had been trying to attack them. It seemed that the monsters inside this dungeon had developed quite well from the last time the attack was carried out. Because one monster alone makes them unable to realize its existence.

It appears that the monster that Xi had killed was a type of insect monster shaped like a black centipede that was the size of an adult's thigh. The black centipede moved so fast, and had such a powerful poison that it could topple an adult man in just one bite.

[Black Centipede ] Rank: C. Level 35. Exp :4,500. [An insect the size of an adult human thigh, which has a deadly toxin that can stop muscle function in the body, causing permanent paralysis. ]

" That's a black centipede... The poison is very dangerous, although the body is large, but the shell is not too hard. Even ordinary weapons can penetrate the shell easily, even so, these insects are quite persistent! " Said Zapdas. Tell them all about the information about the monster.

" Sir, you are so great that you even know that the monster will make us go! " Said Sanzun praising Xi.

Xi responded calmly, and asked everyone to be quiet, with sign language. When Xi asked everyone to be quiet, the place became very quiet and did not make any sound. At that time, Xi also heard a lot of strange noises from every tunnel that was there.

Those strange sounds, they sound like they're moving. And the longer that voice was the more clearly it sounded in his ears. Not only did he hear the sound getting louder, but they all heard it also getting clearer in their ears.

They were all prepared to attack at any time when the monsters appeared from behind behind the tunnels around them. They also formed a formation, which was in the form of a circle, so that they could easily attack in any direction the monsters would emerge from behind the tunnel.

" Get ready, insects - insects are coming! " Said Xi warning them all.

They all understood and nodded. Everyone's gazes back then were extremely sharp awaiting the arrival of the insects that were coming to attack them.

Before long many insect monsters sprung up from every direction. The monsters, came and attacked those who were there very fiercely. Without a doubt the insects attacked with the weapons they had.

However, all insects can be defeated very easily by all of them. The attacking insects were indeed very numerous, it could even kill a Rank A adventurer easily if that person was alone. However, this time they can defeat any insects that attack them, and move neatly without giving an opening for the insects to attack them.

As a result, they can win without one of them being injured by the fight. After the fight, the bandits, carrying torches, rushed to collect the magic crystals on the monster's body before they continued their journey even deeper. And they also collected the poison that the insects had because of Xi's orders.

A lot of things - valuables they get, and all that goes into the bag they carry on their shoulders. Although many entered the bag, but none of them felt the weight of the bag increased. That was because the bag they were wearing was an item Xi got from Ghaca back then.

A storage bag that has a large capacity, and can store all kinds of items in the bag. In addition, the bag will not gain weight even though it is fully filled, and will remain lightweight like a bag that is only filled with one small pencil.

" all right... After centipedes and millipedes, now black ants! " Bass said annoyedly, because the monsters in the Dungeon were endless.

[Black Ants ] Rank: D. Level 30. Exp :3,000.

Seeing one black ant coming towards them, Xi said "If comparing them, this black ant is weaker than the previous centipede. However, they never move alone, and that is what makes them dangerous. " Said Xi in her heart. Then before he attacked the horde of black ants that came. He bought some bread from the shop system.

A loaf of bread suddenly appeared, making everyone shocked when they saw it. However, they could not continue to think about the weirdness, because now they were in trouble.

As Xi bought the bread, he seemed to have a plan to defeat the hordes of black ants that attacked them. Before he began his plan, he said to Zapdas.

" Zapdas, prepare your lightning magic now, it will be over quickly! " Said Xi.

Hearing that, Zapdas was surprised that Xi said he would finish quickly. Seeing that there were hundreds of black ants moving towards them, Zapdas was not sure if this would be finished as quickly as Xi had imagined. However, he still cast his lightning magic.

" You are more numerous than the centipedes that are there, I do not intend to waste much of my energy just to fight you... So take this bread I just bought!! " Said Xi while throwing five loaves of bread that he bought from the shop system.

Simultaneously, all the ants instantly stopped after seeing the good food thrown by Xi passing them. They turned around and gathered to find the bread Xi had thrown. When they found the bread, Zapdas unleashed the magic he had prepared.

A lightning magic with high voltage struck all the black ants that were there, and shocked them to a scorch. All of that was also thanks to the help from the water that was nearby, which increased the power of the sting on the Zapdas lightning. All the black ants were killed in a matter of seconds.

Zapdas was astonished, and the others were astonished as well. Except for Xi, Airis, and Astia. Seeing over two hundred black ants die in a single attack, it was impossible to do so, even if it was a Rank A. However, what they were seeing right now, was very different to what they had imagined. It was like something challenging the sky.

" One strike... Really - really attack!! A swarm of black ants that could kill Rank A adventurers, died in just one strike! Really great, the method is crazy! Just taking a quick look at the type of enemies he faced, he could instantly know how to quickly defeat his enemies! This is truly amazing! " Said Zapdas in his heart with pleasure as well as surprise. And he was also embarrassed because he had thought that what Xi planned was just a futile action to do.

Zapdas saw Xi standing there, as if he were looking at a leader who was not afraid of anything, and was always confident in his decisions. So as to produce good results as well, when done without any doubt.

" As I expected, this is done quickly! " Said Xi calmly. Walking closer to the corpses - the corpses of the black ants. Releasing the darkness that was on him, enveloped all the piles of black ant corpses that were there.

The terrifying magic radiance spread throughout the room, and could be felt by all of them, the magic radiance was terrifying. Even his magic energy was even more terrifying than the one possessed by the demons. This energy they felt was insane, and extremely arrogant.

" What are you going to do to the bodies of those black ants? " Task Alans to all of them in confusion. The darkness that came out from his Master's body was terrifying. In his view, the darkness seemed to be able to swallow whatever he wanted in his swallow without choosing - choose.

Hearing Alans question, everyone just kept quiet. Because they themselves also do not know what Xi will do. Except for Airis and Astia, they already know what to do. Instantly, the darkness that had previously only enveloped the black ant, now spread so widely to where they started, and enveloped every monster corpse that was there.

Slowly Xi opened her eyes. His eyes were red in offense, with full of death energy enveloping him. " Dark army, rise up and serve me as your king! " Said Xi. Instantly all those who were exposed to the darkness, from those who had died, rose again with a perfect body shape made of darkness.

Seeing the incident, everyone could only freeze to see it. They were unable to say anything more after seeing the ability. An ability that can awaken the dead like a Necromancer, but this one is much more sinister than a Necromancer.

" With him can be summoned... And again there are so many! He was not only able to fight, but also death magic... Could it be, the true power of the Master is the power over the world right of death?!! " Said Vind in his heart with a pale face upon seeing her.

Seeing that unreasonable ability, he could only tremble in fear with a pale face, as well as cold sweat drenching his entire body. He could not imagine that he was in the position of the monsters that had been resurrected. If it had happened to him then, he might have died without being able to close his eyes forever.

" It was fortunate that I was willing to give up at that time... If not, I might be a part of it. " Said Zapdas in his heart. He was relieved because the decision taken by him at that time to follow Xi was the right choice.

After seeing the real power from Xi, everyone could not hide their shocked faces. Because it is a fear that is beyond human reason. A very powerful force and one that dominates darkness and death.

After all the insects he had killed on his way rose up. Xi asked the insects to show the way to the room the boss was in. Since these insects lived inside the dungeon, surely they knew where the dungeon boss was.

The insects were moving in line with Xi's orders. They walked together - similarly showing the way to get to where the boss dungeon was located. On their way, there were many black ants blocking their way. So that makes them have to fight against the ant horde.

The black ants that came to stop them were easily defeated by the army of dark ants that were on Xi's side. Because the Darkness Army's superiority can regenerate super fast, so any crushed ants can recover in one second, and the additional buff of the item used by Xi, can be recovered, adding the attack power of the ants.

When they arrived in a large room, there were many shining magic crystals illuminating the room.

" So this is the boss dungeon's room? It's easy to find him... " Said Alans.

Looking around them, it was seen in the dark part of the room that there were a lot of ant eggs there. Simultaneously, there was a black ant that was up to 2.5 meters in size. The ant was very creepy, with the magic energy emitted from the ant was very large.

[Black Ant Queen ] Rank: A. Level 100. Exp :50,000. Skill : Command, Reproduction, Fear.

" It's true that this is the boss of the dungeon but... The ant is not the main boss. With this kind of strength, there was no way he could rule over other insect monsters other than black ants. " Said Airis calmly.

Hearing that, they were not surprised either. Because according to them, it was very strange that the dungeon boss of a high-level dungeon could be found so easily. Even for the size of a lower-class dungeon, the boss of his dungeon alone was difficult to find. So it was not strange that this black ant queen was not the boss of this dungeon.

The queen of black ants, who saw that there were many adventurers who came to her room. He feels threatened. Feeling threatened, the Black Ant Queen ordered all of her ant warriors to attack the adventurers who came threatening her.

The Black Ant Soldiers rushed to move following his Queen's orders. They fiercely attacked the adventurers who came to their lair who posed a threat to their Queen. The black ants moved along with that enormous amount, hoping that the adventurers felt threatened and left their nests. So that makes their Queen can reproduce as usual.

Yet... " Hahaha I'll burn them all! Feel this Fire Strom! " Rots unleashed a firestorm attack towards the crowd of black ants that were moving towards them.

The swarm of ants that moved towards them, was hit by a very strong firestorm. So that made many of them fall because of the firestorm.

However, it did not make the black ants stop moving. Instead, they became even fiercer than before.

" Way!! They are so strong! My attacks had almost no effect on them! " Said Rots. He complained to himself for not being able to directly defeat all the black ants that were attacking it, and instead could only subvert a little.

" Light Rain! " A magic circle of light appeared in the sky - the sky of the place. From the magic circle, there appeared a rain of light that directly hit the black ants, not least the queen ant as well.

All of the black ants were unable to dodge the attack, resulting in the rain of light hitting them, and directly penetrating their bodies.

In that one magic attack, it made all the black ants fall. Including the black ant queen who was far behind his soldiers were also killed. All the ants of his body were hollow due to the rain of light very quickly penetrating their bodies.

" Good work Astia. " Said Xi.

" Thank you, sir! " Reply Astia with pleasure. He looked happy as Xi praised himself.

After the Black Ant Queen dies. The room suddenly experienced a very strong shake. The vibration is very great, until - to disrupt the balance of the body in standing. Rocks from the sky - the sky of the room fell, and fell upon them.

Not far from where the Queen of Ants is located, open a road on the ground, where the road is in the form of a ladder that leads to the room below. The appearance of the road, is the end of the earthquake they feel. When the earthquake stopped, they walked closer to the stairs.

Sanzun who saw the stairs, his face was sweating. Staring at the staircase emitting a foul scent, Sanzun said, "This staircase leads to the next floor, where there are many insects stronger than the ones here... And it was on that floor that all the adventurer forces of the Fafnir Empire in the tripe were exhausted. " Sanzun said.

Hearing that, everyone looked at Sanzun with a sweaty face. They gulped their saliva hard, showing a worried look on their face after seeing Sanzun saying that. However, their gaze roared at Xi who from earlier was only silent for a moment when he found the path of the next floor. There they were waiting, waiting for the decision that Xi would make. Whether Xi would choose to continue the journey of conquering this Dungeon until it was over, or he would choose to end it here. Everyone was silent at the time and waiting for a decision from Xi.
