Chapter 12 – Another World (2)
Surely, those monster ants are monsters from a terrible other world. To the extent that if such ants were released on the earth, the lower ecosystem of the earth would be destroyed.
However, no matter how monstrous a monster is, no matter how bizarre power it possesses, in the end it is meaningless in the face of an overwhelming mass.
The reason gate defense battles are considered safer than raiding dungeons that only Awakeners can enter is because of the firepower and mass of modern weapons that can be mobilized.
“Yes!”
I screamed cheers involuntarily as the Battlebot 001 I controlled crushed and pushed back the beast ants that were rushing at it with its massive body.
If you don’t adjust the scale, it’s just a small toy crushing a wriggling insect, but in the other world after adjusting the scale, it’s a bigger heavy machine that killed a giant monster ant.
But that’s not the end. I literally crushed the two witch ants that were rushing at me, and I turned Battlebot 001 and charged it towards the rest of the ants, who hesitated as if they were flustered.
‘It’s too easy.’
The result was, of course, crushing. One that tried to attack was crushed head first by the wheel, and the other one ran away and was unable to overcome Battlebot 001’s overwhelming speed and was hit and crushed to death.
[End of the 3rd wave]
That’s it. She rigged her Battlebot 001, which killed all four of her ants before it could reach her, and brought it near her collapsed fence where she stood.
Her eyes were dumbfounded as she let her bow down and stared blankly at the huge Battlebot, then at the sky.
I wondered if something went wrong, but that didn’t happen. Although she was greatly surprised, she knew that the battle bot was a gift from me and let go of her hostility, and the battle bot killed the monster ants as I wished.
“—?”
She glanced at the battle bot and the sky I was watching, and then she said something to the battle bot with her wary face.
Seeing that, I smiled bitterly. That toy isn’t a living creature, and it can’t talk.
Just when she carefully put her hand on the Battlebot’s wheel with her trembling hand. I groaned the Battlebot’s motor as a sign that I was listening.
“–!”
To her, it was nothing more than a whimper, but it must have been a noise close to a roar, so she hurriedly pointed and covered her long ears.
Even so, that face is smiling, so it doesn’t seem that unpleasant.
Rigid contraptions and mysterious elves. Something doesn’t fit, but that’s why it fits.
Suddenly, I thought of putting in a tape recorder that recorded my voice. If you do that, I’ll be able to convey my words at least.
‘Will I understand? How do I use it?’
And then I gave up right away. It’s difficult, it’s hard to be sure, and above all, it’s because we judged that such one-sided communication doesn’t mean much.
***
Battlebot 001 is obviously strong. It is an amazing weapon that will not budge even if several monster ants attack at the same time. It can move freely from side to side, back and forth, has a waterproof function, and can be operated quickly and quickly with the latest battery and sensor… Anyway, it is definitely a means that will be of great help.
‘She has to go.’
However, Battlebot 001 is not invincible. There is also a nice gun barrel on the top, but the gun barrel is just a decoration and can’t actually shoot shells.
In a situation where you don’t know how many monster ants crawling out of the ant nest will increase in the future, if you trust only Battlebot 001, you might be swept away by countless enemies crawling out.
So she must go and fight. In the end, you must capture the enemy stronghold and destroy it to bring peace to the world in the pot.
“—-.”
As she packed up the things she had packed yesterday, she seemed to have informed the young elves who couldn’t take their eyes off Battle Bot 001.
Naturally, they were greatly surprised to hear that she was going to the dungeon alone. Both of them were so flustered that I could hear them screaming.
But she laughed helplessly, pointed at the Battlebots and calmed them down. She’s as if she can protect them even if she doesn’t have the battle bots.
“No. It can’t be.”
I saw that and got up. Should I watch over and take care of those children who remain after she dies? I could never understand that reality.
“Huh? What’s going on?”
“Sorry for the weekend, mister.”
After seeing her walking towards the anthill alone, I left her house and headed to her landlord’s uncle’s house.
He was resting at home on a late Sunday afternoon and was surprised to find me.
“He bought a drone last time, but he said he didn’t use it because it was so boring.”
“A drone?”
From noble mtl dot com
“I want to buy that.”
I remembered the story he had told me in the past and brought it up with a smile.
I would never do anything like send her alone to her cold dungeon.
“I bought it because it looked interesting, but it didn’t suit me. Not much fun. And it should be cheap.”
“…I’m not good at it either. Still, this is enough.”
The old man handed me a 4 propeller drone with a bright red body from the warehouse. The uncle said it was cheap, but this drone the size of my head with only the body, he clearly remembers it as hundreds of thousands of won from the memory of the first time he heard it. Well, since he is a person who uses an entire villa as his hideout and owns a whole commercial building, he can invest this much in a toy that he wants to play for a while.
“Your deposit has been made.”
“I heard you were filming, so you want to use it then?”
“Similar.”
He sold me this for less than half the price. Since I am always indebted to him, he has to pay me back sometime, but I am worried that the opportunity will come.
“Ah, now I remembered. The flower pot I left at your house for a while, I will take it back soon.”
“…!”
But the moment I said goodbye and was about to go home.
The man mentioned the potted plant and instinctively got goosebumps and almost dropped the drone and equipment he was holding in his hand.
“Yeah, come to think of it, that flower pot too. Even though the bonsai is dead, I watched it a few times and found it surprisingly interesting. So, I’m thinking of growing something, but I’ll buy that pot too.”
“Oh, are you really interested in that?”
I tried to answer in a way that wasn’t awkward, but my head twitched when I looked back and my voice trembled. The fortunate thing is that the man did not doubt my appearance and was rather delighted to see that I was interested in potted plants.
Thanks to my polite refusal to listen to the story properly next time, I was able to get away from the uncle’s knowledge of bonsai knowledge. I hurriedly returned to the flower pot with my drone.
“Bur, are you in already?!”
I hurriedly put a post-it on the drone, but her figure had already disappeared from the flowerpot.
Only two young elves are sitting on top of Battlebot 001, their faces full of worry and concern.
[Transfer items]
There is no time for hesitation. I hurriedly flew the drone into her potted plant, thinking she wouldn’t be too surprised since there was already an instance of Battlebot 001.
Unlike the Battlebots, the scaled drone turned into a very small size and glided through the sky there. A camera on her drone was used to orient her and quickly track her back.
Small footprints start to appear as they grow close to the floor. After all, she had already entered the ant nest.
‘Enter.’
Without hesitation, he put the drone into the anthill. A dark tunnel with no light at all. At least the small torches that she seemed to have planted were scattered sparsely, guiding her way.
“—!”
And not too deep, I found her.
She is not a monster ant, but she wields a pipe ax she made herself against a large number of ants, and I can see her back as she moves forward step by step.
“–?!”
Then, startled by the wheezing sound behind her, she turned around and flinched in fright.
I showed her a post-it dangling from her body, shaking the body of her drone to calm the surprise as much as possible.
The expression on her face that fills the screen gradually loosens and shows a smile. Deciding that was enough, I immediately activated one of the drone’s features, the headlights.
Artificial light, brighter than the torch she uncomfortably wrestles with, illuminated the dim tunnels brilliantly.
“…–.”
The ants were startled by the sudden bright light. And it was not only the ant that was surprised, she opened her eyes wide and looked back at the screen.
‘You are not alone.’
That helped me, I smiled faintly at that fact.
Recharging her power again, she swung her weapon that glowed blue with more destructive movements than before and defeated the ants.
