Chapter 156: Face to Face!

After a few moments, once Marvin butchered a few if not dozens of newborns ants, he reached a few meters away from the queen of the army of beasts.

Looking at the detestable creature in disdain and contempt, the queen of the ants revealed her mandibles and screeched. At the very moment, a creature five times the size of Marvin stepped out from the sides of the queen to face him in a battle to the death.

The creature had sharp mandibles reflecting under the dim lights of the cave. Its exoskeleton was covered in sharp black scales and its limbs were thicker than watermelons.

As it looked at its enemies with eyes darker than ink turning red due to anger, Marvin could see the hatred it held for him.

If looks could kill then he would have already died a thousand times.

A single look was enough to determine that this creature's hatred came from its very core.

Its hatred wasn't without a reason.

Marvin has not invaded its home but also disrespected the one who bred and nurtured him.

Moreover, the detestable and damnable human has killed its newly born brother!

How could the first trump card of the queen not be enraged to the limits of itself?

It was the royal guard of the queen, the third most holiest existence of the entire ant worker's family.

"Since you want to protect your creator from me, show me what you got." Marvin flashed a taunting smile towards the ant with a thick and burly black exoskeleton while motioning it to come and attack.

It was at this moment, the master of the royal guard screeched telling it to teach the arrogant human a lesson resulting in death.

As if it was waiting for this very command, the beast rushed forward with all its might, the sound of its think limbs with a sharp sharper than a blade resounding in the queen's lair.

While standing in his place and looking at the monstrosity of an ant charging towards him with murderous intentions, Marvin's eyes narrowed threateningly as magic power inside of his body was infused with his body to increase his bodily strength by a few times.

In the very third second, Marvin and the royal guard clashed with each other resulting in a clanking noise caused by iron hitting against iron. Immediately after, the royal guard used its mandible to chop Marvin in two but he ducked down and hurled a kick towards its head.

As unbelievable as it may sound, but the royal guard that was at the rank of a magical beast was able to dodge his so-not serious kick by moving back.

"It was able to take five steps in the split of a second?!" Marvin's eyes widened in shock as he saw that this royal guard used a movement technique.

He could now infer that the royal guard was far more intelligent than he believed it to be, and although it couldn't speak human language, it was still able to use movement techniques that even most humans were unable to use.

Screech*

The royal guard closed in between them in a second and used its limps as a sharp blade to stab at Marvin, who skillfully maneuvered his body like a celestial right out of heaven's pathways.

The eyes of the queen opened wide and her mandibles jerked uncontrollably in shock as she stared at a scene she was unable to comprehend. How is this possible?

How can a human split himself into dozens of equals?

How come those equal disappear once stabbed by the holy limbs of her royal guard only to reappear a split second later?

Is this being really a human?

No!

The hard cold fact was right in front of her mystical eyes that could see things happening in one-tenth of a second.

This human wasn't a human but a freaking ghost!

That was the only thing she could think of that moment, and at the same time, the royal guard was equally confused.

"Gahhh!" The royal guard increased the speed at which its limbs were moving by three times and the intensity of attacks that rained down on Marvin also increased. However, he was moving so fast and leaving behind so many afterimages at the same time that the royal guard wasn't able to accurately discern his real position.

In its eyes, there were dozens if not several dozens of Marvin, and it couldn't decide which one was real and which one was fake.

Each attack is made deeply penetrated the ground. One could see spider cobwebs like crack spread from the region of its attacks to all over the cave.

After a few moments, once the cracks grew so large that they caused the queen's lair to tremble and the royal guard to lose its footing for a mere second, Marvin showed the smile of a victor as hints of calculative light glistened in his eyes.

In the split of a second, he darted ahead with a speed so fast that the eyes of the queen and royal guard couldn't follow his movement. He slid underneath the belly of the ant. At the same time, he kicked on the center of its stomach with both of his legs. His legs infused with magic power couldn't shatter the exoskeleton of the ant, but it created wide cracks all over it. Best of all, the royal guard was flung across one side of the cave and dropped on the other side of the ant's lair were two beauties, wearing nothing but fit undergarments, were already waiting for its arrival.

"Queen of the worker's ant, it's over! Your strongest handyman is down. As soon as I want to take your life, you won't be able to do a thing against my decision. I can decide your life in a single moment. The war is in my favor. However, I don't wish to harm you. Submit to me now and I will leave the newborn king of your family alone, and even grant you a better life than your previous owner!" Marvin's eyes gave off a calculating flicker while his dagger gleamed threateningly. "Otherwise, I will have to force you into submission!"

Hearing the words of the damnable human, the pathetic queen that could only give births to dozens of worker's ants in a week could only glare at him in anger. Yet, she knew clearly that she wasn't strong enough to fight the human in front of her.

"You only have time until I reach up to you! Make your decision!" Marvin said as he started to walk up to the queen with steps full of leisure.

At the same time, a battle was being held at the other side of the cave. The royal guard charged at them and crashed on the magic shield created by Leilani. At the same time, Bai Yue's magic power decreased by a considerable amount, and ice spears manifested above her head, and then with a flick of her slender, ruddy fingers, they shot straight at the bulky ant.

The royal guard turned around and block her elemental attack by using its string exoskeleton as a shield. The clanking noise of ice shitting against the metallic exoskeleton rang out for a while. After a few moments when the shower of ice spear stopped, the royal guard once again charged towards them.

This time, however, rather than putting a magic shield around them, Leilani summoned four gigantic hands each as big as the body of the royal guard. The royal guard's vision blackened as the four hands balled into a fist and crashed right on top of it.

The royal guard wasn't fast enough to evade two of the four punches and the first plummeted it into the floor as the entire cave shook.

An enormous crater could be seen on the ground in the place where they stood previously. The intensity of that attack caused a cloud of dust as an aftermath. As the wind began billowing, it spread towards the other side of the cave.

In that place, one could see the queen and Marvin standing face to face, both not backing down.

However, one was clearly showing a relaxed expression on his face while the other was sweating buckets internally while trying to act like a tigress by brandishing her mandibles at Marvin outwardly.

"Have you make your decision?!" Marvin's voice boosted by magic power sounded throughout the cave and echoed throughout the seven holes of Xiao Xie cave.
