Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

561 Live A Great Life, And Die A Great Death [Part 3]

"The greatest blessing in this world is to live a great life, and die a great death."

These were the words that Drystan once told the Giant Termite when they were adventuring together in the world of Elysium.

"Not many people are able to do that," Drystan said with a smile. "Most people live mediocre lives, and die mediocre deaths. I pray that I will be able to do something significant in this world, so when I die, there will be people who will remember me."

"I am not a Human, but I will never forget about you, Drystan."

"And I will always remember you. Are you sure you don't want me to give you a name? Termite isn't really a name, you know? It's just what we call your kind."

"Just call me Termite. I don't need a name. I just need a purpose to continue living this life."

"Don't worry, Termite. One day, you will find what you are looking for. When that happens, make sure to hold on to it with everything you have."

One of the Deimos-Ranked Adamantium Ants screeched as the Giant Termite's burning mandibles bit its neck.

The other Deimos-Ranked Ants weren't being idle, and also bit their enemy with great ferocity.

One of them bit the Giant Termite's burning body, while the other bit one of its legs, trying to pull it off completely.

The Giant Termite felt great pain, but it used this pain to fuel the flames that burned fiercely on its body.

'This is the same thing that happened to my comrade back then,' the Giant Termite thought.

Back then, the one, and only Deimos-Ranked Soldier Termite was ganged up on by three Deimos-Ranked Fire Ants, tearing him apart.

'It will not be so easy this time!' The Giant Termite's flames burned brighter than ever before, shooting blazing flames inside the mouths of the two Adamantium Ants that were biting its body.

Their exterior might be hard and resistant to physical and magical attacks, but the insides of their body was a different thing.

The Ant biting the Giant Termite's body immediately let go as the flames dealt serious damage inside its mouth.

Magma-like blood flowed from the bite marks that it had left on the Giant Termite's body.

The other Adamantine Ant, didn't immediately let go of the Giant Termite's leg, and pulled as hard as it could.

A few seconds later, one of the Giant Termite's blazing legs was torn off from its body, making magma-like blood spew from the severed part.

The Ant that the Giant Termite was biting on used all of its strength, and used its head to smash the Ant Termite's underside, making the termite lose its hold on its body.

The next thing that the Ant did was to summon Adamantium Spikes from its body, piercing the Giant Termite's chest, making it scream in pain.

The two other Ants did the same, and gouged the Giant Termite's body, with the Adamantium Spikes that they could use as freely as spears.

They had received significant damage, and suffered internal injuries due to the Giant Termite's flames, so they no longer wanted to bite its body, which made them feel a world of pain.

"""Skeleton Make Bazooka!"""

Three Giant Skeleton Cannonballs descended upon the Adamantine Ants' faces, which made them all screeched in anger.

The Skeleton Cannonballs' damage wasn't what made the Ants stagger and screech in anger.

It was the Abyss Touch that was imbued in Lux's attacks that directly damaged their soul, which made them pull back the spikes that had embedded themselves in the Giant Termite's body.

The Giant Termite, who had just been freed, immediately summoned walls of flames to separate itself from his attackers. It had been enduring all this time, despite the serious injuries it received from fighting three Deimos-Ranked Monsters.

Lux knew that the Giant Termite couldn't fall at this point in time because if it did, no one would be able to fight the three Deimos-Ranked Adamantium Ants. They were already at their limit, and were trying desperately to protect everyone.

Losing the strongest fighter on their side would definitely make them fail their mission, so the Half-Elf prioritized saving the Giant Termite, despite the hardships he was facing at the moment.

Since they couldn't see the people inside the blizzard, the other lower-ranked Ants started to shoot Iron Bullets and Steel Bullets inside the Blizzard. They really couldn't see anything, so they decided to just shoot randomly out of frustration.

Eiko, Asmodeus, and their clones, had erected Bone Walls to protect everyone from the bombardment. They kept on creating more, but they couldn't protect everyone.

Several of the Iron and Steel Bullets managed to hit people, and the wooden wagons, causing casualties and serious injuries to others.

—---------------

< Remaining Number of Residents of Abingdon Town: 2,198 >

—---------------

Lux's frown deepened as the notification sounded inside his head. If the number of residents fell below 1,000, they would immediately fail their mission.

They already had suffered many casualties already, and he knew that the number would only increase the longer the battles went on.

Fortunately, although the Viscous Carabus Ground Beetle's health was halfway gone, it's movements had become incredibly sluggish due to the damage it soul had received from the power of the Abyss.

This was why Abyssal Creatures were very hard to deal with because they didn't need to kill anyone or anything in order to incapacitate them. All they needed to do was damage their target's soul until they no longer had the ability to move their body.

In short, most of the Abyssal Creature's opponents entered a comatose state due to the Soul Damage they received.

The Vicious Carabus Ground Beetle was suffering the same Fate and, right now, it was nearly at its limit.

Even so, Lux didn't want to take any chances, so he and his clones continued to attack the Field Boss Monster until it completely stopped moving.

After making sure that the enemy was no longer a threat to him, and his allies, the Half-Elf didn't bat an eye to leave it behind and attack the Ants, who were mercilessly killing the residents of the town that he wanted to save.
