Chapter 1149: The Battle
— Byakuya, you're too relaxed. We're working hard down here, and you're so relaxed right now, " Mizu said with a smile on her face.
— Hello... I'm a temporary member of your group, " a slightly immature female voice rang out, and you could tell from it that its owner was soft and timid.
— Sis, don't be shy, I'll protect you. The sniper in the distance is Byakuya, he has a deep voice, and the one with a low voice is a Smoker, he is a magician. They are our 'loyal' companions, " Mizu said, clearly teasing the girl.
This girl wasn't strong. She was a healer that Sven had borrowed from a small group. Of course, her services were not cheap. For her help, Sven pledged to give a piece of the Ant King's heart with a diameter of 3 centimeters. As for whether or not he would give up this piece, it already depended on the situation, as Sven had not signed a contract with this group.
For a medium-sized group, such conditions were quite common, and since with a heart piece of this size, they would be able to fulfill the mission conditions, almost any group would be happy to accept such a deal, because it was very profitable, no matter how you look at it.
And right now, this girl was hiding in a pit. She was protected by more than a dozen of her companions, but even so, she didn't feel safe.
The earpiece in her ear seemed to radiate a powerful malice.
Compared to the conversations between Su Xiao and the others, the conversations within her group were so harmonious and pleasant that they were nothing compared to this group's conversations.
— This is... " the girl said weakly.
— Mizu, stop talking nonsense and attack the palace faster, " Su Xiao's voice silenced the girl. Her companions looked at her in confusion. She froze for a moment, and then realized that her companions who were guarding her right now were very much needed by her.
If they didn't go with her, then these people would most likely just use her.
— I know, I know, I've already summoned my 'biological son', " Mizu's red lips curled.
On the surface, she looked like a normal melee fighter, but in reality, she wasn't.
*Whew~*
A sharp sound suddenly appeared high in the sky, and a huge blue figure fell straight into the palace.
*Boom!*
It was as if a meteor had fallen on the palace. Shockwaves spread out in all directions, and a large crater with a diameter of thirty meters appeared in the palace itself.
*Roar!*
Along with the roar, cutting sounds began to come from the palace, after which a bone-chilling cold air began to rage in the palace, and soon the entire palace seemed to freeze.
— My 'biological son' is very strong, " a trident-shaped pattern appeared on Mizu's forehead.
She developed in two directions at once: as a melee fighter and a summoner.
— Dark Sky Swallow, " a large dark ball appeared in the Smoker's hands after saying this.
His hands began to gradually squeeze it, and quite quickly, he brought it up to the diameter of a small ball.
Smoker's finger pointed at the sky above the palace, and this ball immediately disappeared and appeared right above the palace.
— The blood vessels on the Smoker's face bulged, and the robe he was wearing began to flutter even though there was no wind.
*Crackle...*
Above the palace, a suction force suddenly began to rage, and the ground began to slowly lift up.
Large cracks appeared on the frozen palace, and in the end, it shattered.
Pieces of the palace began to rise into the sky...
At the moment, there were more than a hundred contractors gathered outside the palace, but they weren't able to deal with the Ant King, but none of them were going to leave, plus many of them were ranged fighters, and many of them were going to attack the Ant King for more profit.
Smoker, Mizu, and Sven didn't see anything wrong with it, as they had experienced similar situations many times before.
But Su Xiao thought of it differently. Because of his "Hunter Missions", he always tried to stay away from large gatherings of contractors, and this was the first time he had ever seen so many contractors gathered in one place.
After the death of the Ant King, all these contractors will definitely rush forward, activating various skills against each other. Some of them will grab the treasure chest, and some will grab the Ant King's heart.
The scene is clearly going to be very lively.
A large group of contractors were standing on the wall at the edge of the courtyard. Some of the contractors in this group stared blankly at the rapidly expanding ball high in the sky.
— This... An Engrossing Abyss??? The inexperienced contractor asked and swallowed his saliva. He had never been to Naruto's world, so he had only seen this technique from the screen, but now that he saw something like this in reality, he was stunned.
This Smoker's move wasn't a "Tightening Abyss", but it was inspired by this technique.
The entire palace was torn to pieces, and soon everyone saw two figures in the middle of the ruins of the palace.
— Unlike what was agreed upon, you were the first to make a move, " the Ant King said with his arms folded. His skin was light green, and he had a domed helmet on his head. In fact, it was the carapace he was born with that was used to protect his head.
The Ant King looked very much like a human, except for the cylindrical tail with a needle at the tip.
The purple carapace covered a small portion of the Ant King's arms and legs. If it was seen by anyone who didn't know it, they would think that it was such a unique armor.
— I can't order them around, " Chairman Isaac said, and jumped back. Since there were many people around the palace, he wasn't going to fight the Ant King alone.
— Did Poof and Pitou die? It's a pity I never tasted them — " the Ant King's voice was calm, not showing any emotion at all, even though he had just spoken about the deaths of his two loyal guards. "Humans are truly inferior beings. I originally wanted to control you, but now I realized that my idea was ridiculous — " After saying that, the Ant King looked at the ball in the sky.
In the next moment, it swung its tail. A small piece of land immediately left the ground and flew into the sky at a high speed.
It was impossible to see the movement.
The huge ball was pierced through by this piece of earth and began to gradually collapse.
— I thought it would be difficult to deal with it, so I used all my strength, but I overdid it, " the Ant King muttered, but then he heard someone's footsteps.
— Don't worry, it was only used for clearing the area, " Mizu said as she walked into the ruins of the palace.
Sven and Smoker were on her left and right, with Isaac standing in front of them.
They quickly surrounded the Ant King from all sides, and only Smoker kept a respectful distance from the Ant King, and it was he who had his back to Su Xiao.
— Cleared the area? For some kind of powerful ranged attack? The Ant King asked and looked around.
He immediately noticed a watchtower in the distance.
Su Xiao immediately aimed at Mizu's mouth, causing her to flinch.
— Hey, hey, hey, don't aim that thing at me, it gives me the creeps. Forget about my accidental mistake, I'll block the Ant King, " Mizu said with a slightly unnatural expression, but considering that she was currently being targeted by the Duke of Nirvana, it was normal.
But was it really a random mistake?
Only a three-year-old child would believe such a lie.
A ten-meter-tall ice giant appeared behind Mizu. His entire body was made of ice, and he continuously released cold energy outwards.
Su Xiao aimed the crosshairs at the Ant King again.
Right now, someone had to step forward and test the Ant King's strength.
Su Xiao and Smoker obviously won't be able to test it. Su Xiao was a sniper and was about 800 meters away from the Ant King, and Smoker was a mage in general.
As for Sven and Mizu, they clearly didn't intend to attack first, so the only candidate left was the chairman of the Hunter Association, Isaac.
