Chapter 127 127 – The Nest

The two women took quite a while to reach their destination. They had to take a detour through the mangrove forest, then stopped to see the view of green leaves with purple flowers. However, Yua asked not to stay there too long because there could be bees there.

None of that caught Raymund’s attention. He even uses the fast forward feature so that everything can be done quickly. The god wants to see his two girls having fun in bikinis again.

“There it is.” Alette pointed to a large mound in the distance.

“That…” Yua narrowed her eyes. “Six feet at most…. Seven maybe? From your story, I thought their nest would be bigger, Alette.”

The fairy folded her arms across her chest, shuddering as if she felt cold. “You have no idea how terrible they are!”

Elise crouched down, surveying the nest with more focus. She saw the neon blue insects, and they weren’t all winged praying mantises like before. There are things like centipedes, bees, dragonflies, cockroaches, and so on. They come in and out, fly and crawl from the holes in the nest.

“What shall we do, sir?” Elise asked her master.

Raymund was silent for a moment. “They don’t seem aggressive, so…”.

Suddenly Yua patted Elise’s shoulder. When the female warrior turned her head back, she received a black ball with a burning fuse that was billowing smoke.

“I can’t throw, Elise, so you do it,” Yua spoke as fast as a machine gun firing bullets. “I want to get out of here immediately.”

Elise looked at the bomb in her hand with her mouth slightly open, then at Yua again. “What…”

“What the fuck, Yua!!!” Raymund just realized what the kunoichi was doing.

“Throw that right now, Elise!” Yua started to panic. “The explosion was huge!”

Elise looked around in confusion, ran to the nest, and threw what was in her hands. The spherical bomb landed within inches of its target, but luckily it rolled into the nest.

A loud bang echoed as the bomb exploded, shaking the ground and throwing grains of sand and chunks of the nest into the air.

Elise and Yua ducked down and protected their heads. After the explosion died down, they took out their respective weapons.

“P-please, don’t do that again, Yua!” Elise stuttered because she was completely unprepared for that situation.

“Focus on our opponent!” Yua stared at the flying insects in large numbers.

“I haven’t even come up with a plan to beat those tiny bugs yet!” Raymund’s emotions burned even more. Because of using the fast-forward feature, he had little time to think.

Yua paid no heed to her master’s words and chose to speak to the fairy. “Alette, hide behind me!”

Instead, the fairy hid behind Elise’s back, probably not believing Yua, who made everything so messed up.

The two women continued to focus on the insects, some of which began to approach with an ear-splitting hum. Mona was also prepared to growl and lower her body, ready to pounce.

The insects drew closer, triggering Yua and Elise to swing their swords. The two women managed to slash at some of them, but the rest just passed by.

Yes, the insects are not attacking. They just fly or crawl in various directions.

“So, actually, they are not dangerous?” Yua blinked her eyes. “What exactly happened?”

“Thank goodness, Yua.” Raymund snorted. “Fortunately, they didn’t attack. It’s all because of you. Things turned out this way.”

Yua shrugged, closed one eye, and stuck her tongue out at Raymund. “Sorry.”

“No…” Elise hissed. She still uses her fighting stance. “It’s still not over.”

“What do you mean, Elise?” Yua raised her small sword again. “Don’t tell me there’s a big boss or something in that nest.”

Suddenly the insects stopped, then flew or crawled back towards the ruins of their nests, which were still burning and smoking.

Once again, Elise could feel something different thanks to her animal control blessing trait. “There’s the biggest one from the nest…. I’m guessing it’s their leader?”

Actually, Elise wasn’t too sure either. She just conveyed what her guts said.

“Could it be that the nest is only the top, and its original size down to the ground is enormous?” Raymund made a guess. “You guys prepare for the worst. There’s no turning back. They could be a big threat to Aletta village.”

“Dam..” Yua put on a bitter smile. “Looks like I did make a big mistake.”

Meanwhile, Alette pressed herself against Elise’s back and curled up with her eyes closed. Her petite body shook like crazy. “That… is the monster….”

All the insects gathered near their former nest, and not long after, a creature bigger than them came out of the smoke. Its body shape resembles a beetle, complete with a pincer in front. However, its legs were like spiders, and its skin color was also neon blue.

“I think it’s their king.” Elise tightened her grip on the sword while that monster was already walking toward Raymund’s servants. All the other insects followed behind the creature.

However, Yua lowered her sword instead. “Errr…. You said the size will be bigger than the others?”

“It’s true, isn’t it?”

“Yeah, you’re right…. But that thing is only as big as a baby’s head.” The corners of Yua’s lips twitched as she watched the ‘king’ of the insects limping and almost falling. Maybe it’s due to the effects of the explosion.

Raymund was laughing so hard he could hardly speak. “What… What the fuck!!?? Hahaha!!! This is hilarious!!!”

Elise dashed forward again, jumped, and stabbed the insect ‘king.’ That creature spurted white liquid and stopped moving. She did all of that with a very serious expression as if she was fighting for her life.

And then, the flying insects fell, and the crawling ones froze. Raymund’s laughter grew louder at the super anticlimactic sight.

Aletta flew in various directions so cheerfully. Her eyes were filled with happy tears. “You girls are amazing!”

“So…” Yua put her hands on her hips and looked up. “Everything is done, sir? Can we go home?”

Raymund, who had been about to stop laughing, laughed even more.

On the other hand, Elise wiggled her sword to clear it of the bug liquid. She is still not happy with her new weapon.
