Chapter 1485 – The Breach Pt 3

A horde of monsters crashed into the ant lines, who were already engaged in a fighting retreat. The blue mana continued to be blown back by the concentrated power the Krath had created.

There was a way in! Finally, the invaders were on the run!

Zluth couldn’t restrain a gurgling bellow of glee as he and his fellow Krath’sizz charged forward, their war parties following in their wake. Many had Net Slimes stuck to their flesh, feeding off their acid, ready to be plucked loose and thrown at their targets, and there were so many targets.

To slide past the outer defences of the invaders was an almost surreal feeling, and to see the ant lines crumble was intoxicating, causing his flesh to sizzle fiercely.

“Go forward!” he roared.

“Poison and torment!”

“Meat for the pits!”

“Feast on their bones!”

The savage cries of the Krath rang out through the tunnel as they followed behind the charge of their herded monsters. Despite their savage glee, they were still members of the tribes, and maintained their cunning. Why would they risk battling at the head of the column when they had pawns to do that work for them?

Zluth felt his internal acid bubbling and the heat of his rage rising to its pinnacle as he sought out targets for his nets. Who should he aim for first? Decisions, decisions!

Before him, the chaos of the battlefield unfolded. The ants maintained their disciplined lines, holding off the horde of savage monsters, but were constantly falling back as the field of blue mana shrank. There were weaknesses everywhere, and even the non-ant combatants were becoming exposed. Zluth compressed his body and zig-zagged forward, eyes darting atop their stalks, trying to hunt his first prey.

There!

One of the strangely robed humans had charged to the front of the line, roaring and bellowing, bizarre attachments to the top of their hood flopping wildly. Zluth’s eyes curved wickedly as he pulled his first slime away with a wet, sucking noise. With his many, spindly arms, he began to swing it, building up momentum before he released it with unerring accuracy.
