Chapter 1660 Leveling Up Resistance Skills In The Middle Of A Battle!

.

What originally was just a meeting with a tiny bug in the road ended turning into complete madness and insanity as we were ambushed by hundreds of these damn critters! The worst part was that I remember having less stats than these things. How come this desert is so goddamn dangerous?! Is this because of the damn mountains here filled with miasma?

Wait, that does indeed makes sense. I guess because of the miasma, monsters will naturally just grow stronger as a result. Although I guess C+ Rank Monsters are pretty strong, they're still weaker than the Giants at B+ Rank. Perhaps the Giants themselves are this strong because they've been being born and developing in an environment with miasma everywhere, a big reason why they're not affected as well.

Nonetheless, I couldn't just stand here and think, a swarm of Beetles in the shape of demonic and hellish cockroaches was rushing directly towards us. There was simply no time to waste anymore.

"You guys keep them from not getting into our group, I'll jump ahead and fight them head on!" I roared, quickly shapeshifting my body and covering it with black armor produced from my Skills, black spikes covering my body filled with deadly venom, and I decided to enlarge them and made them even sharper for the occasion!

"Wait, Kireina!" Luminous cried. "Are you seriously jumping into- Ah, there she goes."

I ignored Luminous warnings, as I used [Roll] + [Haste] + [Harden] + [Telekinesis] to roll across the skies, gaining momentum while also constantly accelerating my speed. It was like a metallic ball with spikes began to rush through the monster's ranks.

"BBZZZZZ…!"

"GRYSHAAA!"

"BBZZZ…!"

Most if not all these critters had status like these, their status were super high as well. Above all, they also had a lot of Skills at high Levels, which meant they were constantly battling in this mountain for territory. We might had inadvertently entered their territory, and with their "exploration unit" dead, they quickly were called through pheromones and brought here by the hundreds. I bet they might even have a Queen or some sort of leader, like giant and annoying ants… that can fly.

"GRYSHAAAA!"

Suddenly, a red-colored one emerged from the swarm, its eyes shone brightly as it suddenly seemed to direct its attention at me while I was getting closer to them. The other beetles immediately heard its horrendous screech, as they all began to conjure magic, Shadow Bullets and Rock Spear being their main methods of fighting, and raining them over me.

It was hundreds of spells conjured at the same time, the Rock Spears and Shadow Bullets alone could easily completely destroy the elven kingdom's walls, and all its buildings if they were to fall from above, and I was tanking it all as I rolled through them!

CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAAASSSHHH!

"SHYA?!"

The red-colored beetle was left speechless as I got closer to it, a dozen of beetles suddenly flew to my side, firing more of their spells which I easily tanked, as my elemental resistance levels began to skyrocket by tanking hundreds of magic attacks at once.

Ding!

[You learned the [Earth Resistance: Lv1] Skill!]

[The Level of the [Earth Resistance: Lv1] Skill has Leveled up to Level 2!]

[The Level of the [Earth Resistance: Lv2] Skill has Leveled up to Level 3!]

[The Level of the [Earth Resistance: Lv3] Skill has Leveled up to Level 4!]

[The Level of the [Darkness Resistance: Lv8] Skill has Leveled up to Level 9!]

Hahaha, you idiots are only giving me more resistance than doing any realistic damage…

And your lives are my HP and MP as well!

SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!

I immediately and finally began rolling over the dozen of black beetles in front of me. Their bodies were easily dismembered by my powerful spikes and my enormous body piercing through their entire bodies. They might be big but I was bigger in this form! And even more, I was also lighter at the same time, making it easy for my maneuverability in the skies, unlike them who were incredibly heavy, having a hard time flying correctly even if they had wings for it.

Due to their slowness, they were unable to evade my Rolling Attack properly, as they began to splatter over the skies one after the other, their disgusting guts covering my bodies, but not like I really cared… However, they had many poison and venomous sacks inside of their bodies, alongside acid, which began to slowly melt my exoskeleton. Some of them suddenly jumped in front of me just to sacrifice themselves and weaken me with their entrails, and that red one was commanding them.

SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!

FFSSHHHH…!

My metallic exterior continued melting, showing many cracks, but I quickly healed them back as I drained the HP of my victims alongside their MP, which I began to gather in front of me for a flashy yet not too shacky Spell!

Ding!

[The Level of the [Poison Resistance: Lv5] Skill has Leveled up to Level 6!]

[The Level of the [Poison Resistance: Lv6] Skill has Leveled up to Level 7!]

Almost done…!

Finally, the red beetle suddenly showed in front of me as I dug through the swarm quick enough!

"SHAAA?!"

"Gotcha!"
