"What does that mean? Don't talk nonsense…"

"I'm serious. At this rate, we're both going to get stuck here."

"……."

"I still have some magic spells left. It's possible to hold out on my own. So go quickly."

"But…."

"It's also the supervisor's job to be responsible for the safety of test applicants. Go. Please call the rescue team while I’m holding out."

Nam Jinhyuk repeatedly said with a calm expression.

‘Leave him behind.’

My whole body was stiff at the crossroads of a difficult choice.

Fear, guilt, sadness, and an indescribable number of emotions went through my head.

"Supervisor Jin, I'm sorry."

"It's alright. I don't care…"

"Sehe! Taeho! You guys escape first!"

“Si… Sihyeon?!"

Nam Jinhyuk was surprised by my unexpected behavior and called my name.

Yun Sehe and Jung Taeho, who were at the exit, also shouted with confused look.

“What do you mean, mister?”

“Change of plans! We'll hold on, so you guys go out and call the rescue team."

"You can't do that. We have to go out together!"

"Right Uncle! Don’t change the plan."

"No, we have to. Please listen to me."

I turned my head completely away from the two teens.

I could hear the voices of two from the back, but now I couldn't afford to care about them.

The General Poison ant, who came to his senses, was coming towards us with a group.

"Haah… why didn't you go out?"

"How could I leave you alone? And we don't need three people to call the rescue team."

"…thank you."

"Let's talk about thanks later, and think about what we should do with him first?"

"Sihyeon, could you hold on a little longer? I'll prepare a proper powerful blow."

I nodded to Nam Jinhyuk's words and took out my sword.

Akum and Gyuri followed me.

"Gyuri, can you help me a little more?"

"Huh! There's almost no tickling powder now, Popi."

"It'll only take a little bit, so please stop the biggest one for a while."

"Okay, Popi"

Gyuri flew to the General poison ant and sprayed a little tickling powder.

Fortunately, he seemed to be paralyzed as he flinched.

"Let's go, Akum"

Pow wo wooooo

With the strong cry of Akum, I rushed towards the Poison Ants.

In the midst of difficulties, I have grown a little, and I have become able to easily deal with soldier poison ants.

While the General poison ant was paralyzed, I wielded my sword hard to reduce other poison ants as much as possible.

At that time, I felt a chill in my chest and a chill in my spine.

"Sihyeon! Be careful!"

I felt the movement of the General Poison Ant, who got released from the paralysis faster than I thought, behind my back.

The moment I thought I should avoid it, the sharp front feet of the General poison Ant was already about to stab me.

‘Damn, I shouldn't have let my guard down…’

I hardened at the spot thinking about the pain I'm about to experience.

And…

– Chaeng!

"What are you doing? Wake up, mister!"

"Ta…Taeho?"

Jung Taeho, who I thought had gone out, stopped the attack.

And the wind began to blow around.

"I will suppress the movement of the General Poison Ant."

Yun Sehe also supported us using her spirit without going out.

“Why didn't you guys go out?”

“ Mister. It's not my cup of tea to run away cowardly. And didn’t you say we should accept each other’s shortcomings."

"…”

"Uncle, let's all go out together."

"Guys…."

I felt resentful for the two teens who didn't go out, but thanks to them staying, I was alive at this moment.

“ Okay. Let's go Team 3.”

“Let's go.”

A fully awakened General poison ant swung his front legs in all directions.

However, thanks to the support of the two, I was able to stop him.

"Everyone, back off!"

Nam Jinhyuk, who had been preparing for magic for a long time, shouted.

"Freeze, a spear of sharp ice…Shiver, a strike of destructive lightning…Swing, a stroke of merciless storm."

– Whooing!

Strong lightning and storms swirled around a large ice arrow.

As soon as we stepped down to a safe position, Nam Jinhyuk immediately fired it. – –

Ekiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Kikikikikiiiiiiiiiiiii

kiiiiiiiiiiiiii

The General Poison Ant, got pierced by the ice arrow and let out a painful scream.

Intense lightning and storms quickly messed up the General Poison Ant's interior.

In the end, the General Poison Ant, who could not withstand the magic power, collapsed, and the Poison Ants who lost their captain scattered across the aisle in confusion.

"Nice Supervisor."

"Supervisor Jin, you're amazing. I can't believe you knocked that guy down with a single blow."

When we approached in excitement, Nam Jinhyuk's expression was very pale.

After confirming his appearance later, I asked anxiously.

"Are you alright? Is it because of the poison?"

"No, it's because it's hard to use all three elements at the same time. I'll recover after a little rest."

I was relieved to see Nam Jin-hyuk smiling faintly.

"By the way, why didn't you two go out?"

"At first I was going to go out… but came back because Mister and the supervisor looked to be in danger. "

Certainly, it would have been very dangerous if the two had not returned.

On top of that, the two teens gave up their escape and returned to this dangerous place.

They cannot be blamed.

"Well, I see. It's true that we got out of the crisis with your help."

"Hehe."

When I admitted with a resigned look, the two laughed with proud expressions.

"What should we do now, Supervisor Jin?"

"Um…"

He organized the current situation with a serious look on his face.

"We managed to get them out, but the situation is still not good. The exit in front of us is blocked, and we have 30 minutes left….We have to replace another exit, and I don't think they'll give us a way easily."

"Did they set traps in other exits too?"

"There's a good chance. The Queen Poison Ant even sent a General poison ant, and she’s doing everything to catch us."

“What a bunch of… terrible ants…I think we should change the name to a terrible ant, not poison ant.”

“They are going out to come at us with all their might…”

“Hold on. All their might?”

"Supervisor Jin, there are many exits in the den, right?"

"Yes, there are many."

"If the Queen tried to stop us from escaping, she'd have sent troops in advance at those exits, right?"

"Yes… …so that she can trap us like now."

"You said earlier, General Poison protects the queen's nest. If we're enough to take out that General Poison ant, isn’t she going to send more Generals to the exit?"

"That's possible. To defend many exits…! Sihyeon… No way?"

Nam Jinhyuk noticed my thoughts and opened his eyes wide.

Yun Sehe and Jung Taeho tilted their heads without noticing yet.

I approached the fallen general poisin ant in silence.

I traced the signal from the General poison Ant who was still breathing.

"If they're planning on taking our heads, they should also prepare to lose their head.?"

“Ah…"

“No way, mister…"

Yun Sehe and Jung Taeho also belatedly noticed my intentions.

Their eyes grew as big as if they could pop out.

We went to a place far away from the exit, using the signal left in the head of the General Poison Ant, where no one expected us to be.

The Queen's Nest.

Rather, it may be the last chance for us to get out of this place.

To be honest, I thought it was a little too much when I gave my opinion.

The queen's nest is the most dangerous place in the cave.

However, unexpectedly, Nam Jinhyuk easily accepted and nodded, and Yun Sehe and Jung Taeho also expressed their willingness to try.

"There is no hope if we keep dragging our feet and fighting a war of attrition. This boring ant oyster… …let's finish it with our hands."

"Hehe, let's give the damn ants a scare."

"It's a little scary, but I trust my teammates and Uncle."

All our opinions came together.

There was no time.

Once again, with the guidance of Akum, we began to move.

As expected, there were few defensive forces on the way to the Queen's Nest.

Maybe they didn't expect us to hit the main base.

We broke through the complicated passage as quickly as possible carrying Nam Jinhyuk, who used up a lot of physical strength.

As we got closer to the queen's nest, the signs of Poison Ants around us became busier.

"Maybe they've noticed now. They're busily moving to where we're headed."

"We have to hurry."

“When all the troops that had escaped come back, there will be no chance."

Nam Jinhyuk's words made us feel nervous and speed up.

After a small battle, we advanced toward the heart of the nest.

Pow wo woooo

Akum, who was guiding us, made a loud cry.

There was a sense of caution.

At the end of the aisle, I could feel the presence of many Poison Ants and a strong presence that I had never met before.

"I think we're here now."

As we reached the end of the aisle, a huge room appeared.

The giant queen ant was escorted by Soldier Poison Ants.

UKiiiiiiiiiiiii

The Queen Poison Ant found us and gave us an unpleasant cry.

Hearing the cry, the Poison Ants began to get ready for battle at the same time.

Many soldier poisons, and three general poison Ants.

And at this moment, troops continued to gather through other channels.

"The situation seems more difficult than I thought, but we will proceed as originally planned."

"Don't worry, I'll stop them."

"I'm ready, Shorty! Let’s begin."

“Fool, focus! Mistakes are fatal now."

The plan was simple.

While we block, Nam Jinhyuk aims for the queen poison ant with one powerful magic bullet.

Unlike her huge body, her defense was at an ordinary level, so it was our strategy.

UKiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

But the Queen Poison Ant wasn't stupid.

She immediately noticed our plan and moved all the troops.

"Please, guys!"

Pow wo wooooo

"I got it, Popi"

We defended Nam Jinhyuk and prevented the attack of the Poison Ants.

My whole body was throbbing with pain, but I cheered myself up by saying that it was really the final battle.

Jung Taeho and Yun Sehe showed their best teamwork as if they had been a team for a long time.

Only the bodies of burned poison ant remained in the place where Jung Taeho's flame sword passed.

Yun Sehe supported Jung Taeho while also lightening his body with the power of the wind.

I swung my sword really hard so that I wouldn't lose out on the performance of the two.

Kiiiiiiiii

Soldier Ants couldn’t stop us.

Two of the three General Poison ants that were guarding the queen began to move in earnest.

With the addition of a powerful General poison ants, our facial expressions were tense.

In a situation where Nam Jinhyuk could not support, the two general Poison Ants were very difficult opponents.

“Let's hang in there a little longer.”

“Don't worry, mister! I'm still full of energy!"

With Jung Taeho's confident cry, I faced General Poison Ant without hesitation.

However, maybe it was because of that too much confidence, I couldn't sense the General poison ant approaching from the side.

Despite Yun Sehe's sharp cry,

"Danger!"

Jung Taeho was completely exposed to the attack of the General poison ant.

‘No… Please…’

As soon as I pictured Jung Taeho collapsing, an unknown energy came out of my body.

And I felt that the energy was shooting towards the General poison ant.

-Kik! – Kikkk!?

The General poison ant suddenly stopped moving and began to attack the other General poison ant next to him.

A General who was attacked defenselessly fell to the ground with great wounds.

The General poison ant, who attacked their army, shook his body around in confusion.

"What's wrong with him all of a sudden?"

Jung Taeho looked puzzled at the General poison ant.

"Uncle…"

Yun Sehe looked at me with stunned eyes as if she had noticed something.

This time I felt it for sure.

Apparently the General Poison Ant moved at my will.

I tried not to forget the feeling I felt a while ago.

And after a while, I heard Nam Jinhyuk's voice that I had been waiting for.

"Ready!"

“Freeze, a spear of sharp ice….Shiver, a strike of destructive lightning….Swing, a stroke of ruthless storm!"

Once again, a powerful ice spear appeared.

The Queen Poison ant must have sensed danger and struggled in a hurry.

Ukiiiiiiiii

But it seemed difficult for the Giant queen to avoid the ice spears shot like light.

When everyone was sure of success.

Boom Boom

The last General who was guarding the Queen spread his wings from the back and flew into the air.

He thrust his body into the front of the magic.

CRASH

The spear of the ice penetrated the general's venomous ant, and went on and struck the Queen.

Ekiiiiiii

Ukiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikiiiikiiiiiii

The Queen's painful screams filled the room.

And the huge body staggered and fell sideways.

A word mixed with expectation and anxiety popped out of Jung Taeho's mouth.

"Is it over.?"
