The main thing in the room was an extremely obese ant. I did not think it was possible for an ant to have a double chin, but the queen before me showed that this was not true. This ant had a total of 5 different chins. She was so large that not only could her legs not reach the ground, but she could not move her neck.

Behind her was a large mountain of eggs. The queen looked down at us with her small beady eyes. She spoke in a large, rather deep voice. "So you have come my life, and the lives of my children. Know that Ishra will not not take kindly to my death. War will be imminent, A large scale bug invasion will happen."

Hylia and I looked at each other and an old laughter escaped out mouths.

"Little bug, the thing G.o.ddess Hylia fears the least is war."

The queens eyes went wide as she realized she had miscalculated, but was not given a chance to respond as several bullets struck her in the head. Blood began to poor from the wounds, but the one thing this blog did not lack in was vitality. The wounds quickly closed, healing the damage that had been inflicted.

My poison continued to eat away at her, but from the looks of it not much damage was really being dealt.

Hylia followed up with a few swift strikes from her maul, and yet the hammer seemed to bounce off of her thick layers of fat. The small crack that had appeared on her carapiece was rapidly healing.

I nodded as her attack confirmed what I had already suspected. Not only was the queens vitality high, but her const.i.tution was its equal. We were in for a long fight, and the timer had not stopped ticking.

My back was coated in sweat, and I was panting heavily as I stared at the behemoth before us. Bullet holes riddled her body, and most of her carapiece had fallen off. Beside me Hylia was in no better condition. The timer had fallen below ten minutes and we had no time to rest.

My mana was nearly depleted. I had only 1000 left enough for 10 more shots. Hylia struggled to move. Her stamina was in an even worse state than my own.

I knew in my heart that my remaining mana was not enough to finish off this beast. But I did not know how to continue. I was looking for an answer, any answer to our problem.

It was then that my foot slipped, and stepped on a sticky round object. I could feel it being squished below my feet.

The queen screamed as I did this, and I looked down to see one of the many eggs in pieces below me. Understanding dawned on me, and I quickly told my plan to Hylia.

It was true that she was too exhausted to continue her a.s.sault on the queen, but going for a simple stroll was well in her capabilities. With each step she took the queen seemed to grow weaker. With each step she took she crushed another egg.

I used my remaining ten shots wisely, only firing to refresh my poison counter, as I too took a lovely stroll through a sea of eggs.

The queen grew weaker by the second, after half of the eggs were gone blood began to spew from her mouth.

My discovery a.s.sured our victory, the queen fell as soon as the last egg was destroyed. With the final step the instance had been completed. and we violently ejected from the dungeon.

2. 20,000 coins to be used at the shop

3. the spell [Bone Grenade]

4. 2 gold pieces

u003cYour completions of the side and secret quests showed your willingness to go above and beyond for the sake of your kingdom. You will be awarded as followsu003e

1. The spell [Poison Cloud]

2. Unique magic item [Ant Queen Chest Armor]

[Bone Grenade] lvl 1 (no max level) (spell)

An explosive blast that does 300 points nonelemental damage in a 5 meter radius. Does not discriminate between targets. 250 mana. 1 second cast time.

[Poison cloud] spell

An area of effect poison spell that does 100 damage per second for 10 seconds to each creature within a 10 meter radius. 500 mana. Cast time 1 second.

Both of the spells were rather amazing, something I desperately needed. An off hand spell that did not require accuracy. They were AOE attacks as well.

Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on your train of thought, when my core evolved I was granted an additional signature spell. As there were no suitable spells available the system would not let me select one. As soon as I recieved [Bone Grenade] it was automatically selected as a signature spell. In addition it selected [Poison Cloud] as a fusion spell. The result was [Bone and poison grenade]

[Bone and poison grenade](signature spell)(no max level) level 1

An explosion that does 300 non elemental damage in a 5 foot radius and 100 poison damage per second for 10 seconds. 500 mana cast time 1 second.

The new spell was rather amazing, and would fit my needs exactly. Even if the mana cost was high The fact that it was an Area Of Effect(AOE) attack more than made up for this. In addition it was a growth type spell with no maximum level. Meaning it could accompany me for my entire journey much like [Poisonous Bone Bullet].

I had yet to examine the armor, but all in all I was rather satisfied with what I had been given. Hylia recieved the same rewards as I did. but instead of spells she recieved hammer skills. Her item was a pair of earrings called [Ant Queen's brilliant earings].

[Hammer toss]

You can throw your hammer or maul in such a way that it returns to you.

[Sundering blows]

Your blows with a hammer or maul are impossibly devastating, having a high chance of sundering your opponents armor.
