Without feeling a few days pass by.
Time passed, until the middle of the second month in the second year. At this time, although not entirely, but there were already enough mutated ants entering the city. Fortunately, they were only active on the outskirts, yet to enter any further into the area where the survivors lived.
While the city itself was getting chaotic, the Sword of Sufferings closed their gates. The group received no guests, and some trades were suspended. Everyone became confused, curious about the reason such a group underwent isolation. Although there were some people who were sent outside to do the task, but they all kept their mouths shut and did not want to talk.
This made the people in the city even more curious!
Meanwhile, at the Sword of Sufferings headquarters.
A BANG!
A powerful explosion occurs at Jay's residence. But instead of panic, even the sound of laughter that was so careless was heard.
“Hahahaha! Finally, after holding myself back for so long I managed to break through his limits! What ants, let me blow them all up.”
“It's still morning. Can't you just calm down? In addition, you also have to go to the workshop and have the craftsmen fix all this mess.”
Hearing the voice of the woman so cold and calm, Jay immediately fell silent. He then approached the figure of the woman with a gentle smile.
“Come, Darling. Don't be so cold like this. Aren't you happy too? I'm getting stronger again, right?”
“Maybe I would be happier if you stopped muttering the word ‘harem’ in your dream while you were sleeping.”
“Ugh!” Looking at the flat expression on Mona's face, Jay's back was instantly soaked in cold sweat. “Do not misunderstand, Darling. Isn't that just a dream?”
Jay approached Mona. By the time he reached out his hand, the woman immediately rebuked him. Mona's flat voice once again sounded.
“Be sure to fix the house immediately. In addition, do not forget to wipe your body. After that, you can have breakfast. I've prepared it.”
“Eh? I have my own breakfast?”
“Yes. I'll go see Miss Roxanne and the rest of the group. It seems the chairman will give us another mission. Then I leave.”
“…”
Looking at Mona who had descended, Jay fell silent in her place. The man felt helpless. After a while, he sighed then muttered softly.
“Padahat he is not so cold when in bed.”
Looking at the surroundings that were so chaotic and messy, Jay's expression became even more grim. He could not help but recall Ark's message of using the empty buildings that had been prepared in the edge area of the elite housing when it broke through the boundary. After once again seeing the broken stuff around, which is now harder to come by, Jay felt like crying without tears.
‘Ark won't beat me because of this, right?’
***
In the afternoon, in a new workroom.
As many of the core members wanted their own homes and eventually moved out, the main building had previously been created as Ark's home. While the office and so on were moved to a house that was previously used as a backup warehouse.
“Cannot be!”
Jay fell into his chair with a pale face. His appearance looked bad, even pale when not beaten.
Due to the chaos he made earlier, Jay receives sanctions that he deems more horrific than being beaten. Double the full month's workouts, salaries (parts of food stock) are reduced, and told to undertake missions outside the territory.
“You're ruthless, Ark! You are too cruel! Aren't we partners in arms? Why are you so willing to send me away from my lover?
Uh! Don't tell me, Ark, you .. You have thoughts for Mona?!!”
Ark who sat in his chair instantly looked grim. He would probably just shut up if people ridiculed him. But when his own best friend suspects that he is messing with someone's partner, of course the young man was immediately upset.
“Do you think I'm the type of guy who lacks women, Jay?”
That question really felt like a hard slap for Jay. After being stunned for a moment, the man immediately gave a cold snort.
“Who told you not to vote and pretend to be a loner! That leaves a lot of people with strange thoughts. Many think you don't like women, some think you have a special hobby. For example, prefer to take the property of people.”
It feels like someone who watches too much drama!
“Forget! There's something more important for us to talk about.”
“Is that a matter of mutated ants?” ask Jay.
“No. Before dealing with the ants, we will go first.”
“Kita? Me and you?” jay asked with a surprised expression.
“If not?”
“Hahahaha! Goody! For a long time we have not been adventuring and fighting together. But you have to remember, Ark. Don't go to smelly and disgusting places like before.”
“Why are you so excited when you go out with a man? Are you not normal?”
“Stop twisting words, B-bitch! Just tell me, what should I do?”
“Of course get miracle root for you.”
“Are we going to target the creature you refer to as the ant general?”
“No.” Ark shook his head. “Although powerful, the creature is still at level 3. What's more, the creature's root miracle seems to be poorly suited to your developmental direction.”
“Then what will be mine next?” jay asked with a confused expression.
“While you hate Draco and Leon, you should thank them. Especially to Saito who leads them.”
“Hah? What do you mean?” Jay is getting confused.
“I gave their direction to search, and finally they found a suitable creature as your 4th root miracle. What's more, the creature now also exists at level four.”
“Level four? Like Dragons and giant monsters before?” jay asked with sparkling eyes.
“If such a creature is level four, we better kill ourselves alone. With his current ability, getting it was just a mere dream.”
“Then, what creature do you mean, Ark?”
“Saito, log in!” said Ark.
The office door opened and Saito entered the room. At that moment, Ark immediately asked him to explain to Jay.
“The creature is indeed more powerful than any creature I have ever encountered before. Its appearance was a white snake with a pointed head, its body length was over thirty meters. On his head was a blue horn like a sapphire, similar to the color of his eyes.”
“Are you not lying?” ask Jay.
“Why do you consider him a liar, Jay?” said Ark.
“Saito clearly hasn't broken through level three. Even though it is close, but not yet. If his enemy was indeed that strong, how could he escape? Not to mention, such a cool flood dragon is definitely not vegetarian!”
“It was a snake.” Ark said helplessly. Glancing at Saito, he said. “Show that skill, Saito.”
“Understanding.”
Saito nodded politely. A few moments later, his body faded. Completely disappeared from the room. Even Jay was also immediately surprised because he did not expect that he was currently unable to detect the existence of Saito.
“Is this the miracle root of the chameleon? Nah! Chameleon was obviously given to Abigail, as well.Saito was only level two. So what creature is it?” Jay muttered with a puzzled expression, seemingly becoming more alert.
Looking towards his bewildered best friend, Ark felt quite satisfied. He tilted his head with a smile, then asked.
“Do you trust him now?”
