Chapter 11: Wind Mantis!
Run, Miles! They are coming! The childish voice of Coin reverberated in Miless mind.
Gee, thanks buddy. Like I didnt know 20 Wind Mantises were chasing me! Miles rolled his eyes as he was running away with everything he had. He was holding an azure orb as big as an infant's fist, while 20 green-blue mantises as big as humans were chasing him.
It all started a day ago.
Miles decided to have a better weapon because the orb dagger he was using was more like an ornament. Someone special gifted it for his 14th birthday. Because he had no other weapon, he used it in the Portal World, but it was coming short.
The previous night. After they bought the mysterious rock that claimed to be taken from the pyramids by the vendor, Miles looked for weapons. All the orb weapons he saw were too expensive. He didnt have the capital for one. So he connected to UniNet and looked for suitable orbs he could farm close to the stronghold.
With Coins help, he finally found one that's close by - Insect Kingdom, Wind Mantises nesting ground!
Wind Mantises were dangerous wind elemental creatures. Their sword-shaped forearms gave them speed and sharpness when they attacked. With a triangular head-turning 180 degrees to each side, there was not that much escape from their notice. Fortunately, they couldnt fly like their counterparts on Earth. Miles was counting on it.
On the UniNet, it stated that a Wind Mantis would rarely drop a wind sword orb. Miles liked the idea of using such a weapon for monster hunting. To travel to Insect Kingdom, he had to cover a long distance, so he chose to leave his new apartment early.
His new apartment was close to the train station this time, so it didnt take him long to arrive at the Dimensional Device and teleported to the stronghold. He appeared and proceeded to his designated room.
Personal rooms were built with high security to keep each individual safe and to have privacy. They were free of charge, but everything else has a price tag on them. Any personal items could be also stored without any worry. Miles didnt have any doubts about leaving his stuff in the room.
Miles stabbed it into the female mantiss brain. It shrieked painfully, and it didnt take long for it to die.
Miles masterfully removed the orb from its head. A marveling azure sword orb was obtained.
As he held the orb, a deathly aura came over him from behind. Without a second thought, he ran immediately.
Miles looked behind. Twenty mantises chased after him, shrieking because one of them had just been killed. Their mating had also been disturbed. Males were especially energetic as they were positioned in the forefront.
Miles ran with everything he had and was grateful to his legs.
Wind Mantises were faster than most of the monsters at the same level thanks to the Wind attribute, but they weren't fast enough to catch up with Miles. He made use of the map he drew in his mind earlier and used the obstacles to lose his tail.
He was able to escape and curse them from behind. They shrieked as they couldnt catch up and could only return to mating once again.
Thanks to me you will have another go, why are you so mad? Miles shouted behind them and collapsed to the ground. He was panting and smiling.
He then looked at the orb in his hand and giggled. Coin, charge it please.
