Chapter 41 Leap over mistakes and irrationality, embrace freedom!
Gold-eating ants are bee-like insect monsters.

Although the name sounds like it is an insect that eats minerals and metals, it is actually a carnivorous insect.

Metal is a material for growth for them. They bite the metal into pieces, take it into their specialized stomachs to decompose and absorb the metal, and then grow a carapace of the corresponding metal.

The carapace of the gold-eating ant is still very valuable, and it is also excellent as a forging material. The only trouble is that the rarer and more powerful the metal the gold-eating ants eat, the stronger the gold-eating ants will be, and the more powerful their corrosion attacks will be.

Gold-eating ants that have eaten adamantine will spray corrosive liquid that can probably destroy all equipment made of adamantine and below.

But the gold-eating ants in the mines under the Broken Steel Mountains are not too strong, and the corrosive liquid they spray out cannot even corrode stones.

puff-

Blaze cut off one of the gold-eating ants' legs with a single stroke of his sword.

A slender foot fell to the ground, and purple-red cursed fire burned out of the broken wound. But the gold-eating ant seemed not to notice that it was missing a leg, and crawled along the stone wall at high speed in the narrow mine without being affected.

"[Fatal Execution] is useless! Is it because of the structure of the insect?"

If it were any other animal, if its limbs were cut off, it would spurt out blood like crazy and die immediately, but this gold-eating ant only shed a pitiful amount of juice from its section.

natural enemy.

Although I don’t know why, there is no doubt that insect monsters are the natural enemies of [Fatal Execution] just like non-biological monsters.

Fortunately, this problem was discovered relatively early.

Blaze took the twisted sword back to the warehouse and replaced it with a dagger more suitable for use in narrow spaces.

"[Black Shadow Stealth]"

This skill feels strange, like sinking into a sea of shadows. Perhaps because the proficiency of the [*Night Eye] skill is too low, Blaze cannot see the shadow world clearly.

But he has [visual sharing]. In the chicken's eyes, every movement of the gold-eating ant is extremely clear, and he can even predict where the next step will be.

"[Secret Attack]"

[Launch a high-speed strike in the dark to increase the critical hit rate when hitting vital points]

Blaze was like a shark swimming in the shadow. He found the right time to pounce out of the shadow and hit the gold-eating ant in the neck with his knife.

I learned this from the goblins. When facing an enemy who is heavily armored, he has to poke into the gaps in the armor.

Kill with one knife.

But that's the standard for mammals. The gold-eating ant's blood volume has undoubtedly reached its bottom, but it is still alive and kicking. Blaze was startled and retreated to distance himself.

Fortunately, the gold-eating ant struggled for a while and then fell to the ground, turning to dust and disappearing.

[Arthropod nerve perseverance]

[When more than 75% of the limbs remain, even if the head falls, normal activities can be maintained for 10 seconds]

"Is it a unique skill of the insect race?" Blaze breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the gray-black carapace on the ground.

[Ant carapace containing trace amounts of iron]

"Well, this iron content is very low."

Blaze pinched both sides of the carapace and broke it apart. It felt very brittle. There is no doubt that it can only be used to make farm tools. If it is given to the Fire Rabbit Forge, it can be sold for about 1 silver coin.

After putting the carapace into the warehouse, Blaze continued to move along the tunnel.

One or two hundred years of desolation has turned this place into a paradise for monsters. [Gold-eating ants], [spider monsters], and [miner rats] proliferate crazily in the tunnels. From time to time, there are also dwarves who died in the past or necromancers transformed by travelers. monster.

Undead monsters are more troublesome. [Fatal Execution] is useless. Slashing and piercing attacks are not very effective. Only bludgeoning and skills with [Crushing] effects can effectively repel them.

Of course, the simplest is the magic attack with the three attributes of Fire, Water and Saint. It's a pity that his intelligence is too low to learn magic.

"Is this where the Dali Flying Bricks sign is located?"

There was a map with powerful flying bricks, and Blazer quickly found the marked location. This is a huge hollow with many stone pillars standing staggered like support pillars.

"It should be this one, right? I'm on it!"

[Equipped: Buckler decorated with space gems]

Blaze did not hesitate, equipped his shield, and before the chicken had time to speak, he rushed towards the stone pillar impatiently.

Take off, somersault, step on the shield under your feet, remove the shield and then hit the stone pillar until you see stars.

"It hurts!"

The corners of his eyes twitched. It was really the kind of impact that hurt even to look at.

"I said, how about..."

"Damn it! There seems to be something wrong with the movement!" Blaze sat up angrily, raised his shield and rushed towards the stone pillar again. This time he hit the stone pillar before he could take off the shield.

"Human, you..."

bang——

"It hurts! Damn it! I turned my head over!"

"that……"

bang——

"It hurts! Ah - the timing is wrong!"

bang——

"It hurts! It seems like it's going to work!"

bang——

"It hurts! My butt seems to have gone in a little!"

……

The mine kept echoing with dull crashing sounds. I don't know how long it took, but the chicken finally couldn't stand it any longer, and fluttered its wings to block Blaze.

"That's enough, human, I won't allow you to hurt yourself so senselessly!"

"Damage? I have this." Blaze took out a bottle of healing potion, which was sponsored by Herbie before starting to level up. One bottle is enough to restore full health. "That's not what I meant." Chicken angrily snatched the healing potion from Blazer's hand, "You can get a lot of experience points in this mine, right? Why do you keep trying this wrong and unreasonable technology? "

"Wrong and unreasonable...?" Blaze was stunned, stroking the silver gem that shone with mysterious light on the buckler and fell into a long silence.

"...This may be the decisive difference between us and the strangers."

"Aha?"

"Yamata no Orochi, the sky giant clan, the Titans, they have defeated too many natural disasters that we have accepted as correct and reasonable."

"Strangers are never constrained by common sense, and always challenge failures and mistakes in a whimsical way. That's why strangers can do things we think are impossible... They are free."

"And I long for them."

Blaze raised his buckler towards the stone pillar and sprinted towards the wall with all his strength as before.

"and many more!"

He murmured in a low voice that only he could hear.

I can understand.

Maybe it was wrong and unreasonable to leave Balkan City that day, but the scenery behind the wall named Wrong and Unreasonable is really beautiful.

Want to see it again.

The beauty I saw that day.

I want to feel it again.

It was like a transcendent liberation.

Blaze rushed towards the stone pillar, the action of flying bricks with great force appeared in his mind.

Jump, flip, step on the shield under your feet, and then remove the shield the moment you hit the wall!

Even if his nose and face were bruised and swollen again and again, Blaze would always keep his eyes wide open. He would never let himself miss even a second.

My eyes fell into darkness, but it was not that I was knocked unconscious, but that I was successful!

An unimaginable pressure hit him, and all the bones in his body seemed to be shaking.

That's the gravity that comes from common sense and reason.

Endure, then overcome, and finally escape from the darkness and rush into the sky.

It wasn't jumping with strong power, not using flying magic, not being knocked out, but simply, wrongly, and unbelievably soaring into the sky.

He jumped into the clouds and came to the sky!
It was an unparalleled sense of release, liberation of the soul.

"Hahaha - it worked - I did it -"

Blaze couldn't help but open his hands and laughed heartily, and was pulled by gravity and fell to the earth.

"Humanity!"

The chicken set off a sonic boom and rushed towards Blaze, grabbed Blaze's breastplate and flapped its wings desperately.

boom--

A huge crater was punched out on the top of the Broken Steel Mountain Range.

Blaze, who was lying in the pothole, was obviously dying, but he was still laughing.

"You, you fell silly, human being." Lying on Blaze's chest, the panting chicken pecked Blaze's helmet in anger.

"Hahaha, cough..." Blaze stood up with difficulty. He raised the chicken with both hands and shouted happily: "Compared to this, look, I did it. I crossed over the mistakes and unreasonableness and rushed towards Sky!"

"Humanity……"

Chicken looked at Blaze's eyes shining under the helmet with fascination, and said nothing for a long time.

"chicken?"

"Huh? Ahem, um..." The chicken suddenly came back to his senses, covered his face with his wings and coughed.

"You fell down and almost died."

"So what?" Blaze threw the chicken into the sky. The chicken was startled, flapping its wings and almost falling to the ground.

Blaze looked up at the starry sky and opened his hands.

"Although my soul and body have fallen to the ground, I have left traces in the sky!"

"I will go back."
