Searing hot flames spewed out from the Giant Termite’s mouth, melting the attacks of the Ant Army that were aimed in his direction, as well as the residents of Abingdon Town.

For the Ants, it didn’t really matter if the humans were dead, or alive when they took them back to their nest. This was why the Deimos-Ranked Adamantine Ants attacked Ithaqua first, dispelling the Blizzard that would slow their advance.

Fortunately, Ithaqua didn’t die. However, it still received serious injuries that incapacitated it.

Although the Iron, and Steel balls melted due to the Giant Termite’s attack, the three Adamantine Bullets didn’t melt completely.

Left with no choice, the Giant Termite used its body to block these three projectiles, protecting the Humans from further harm.

The Giant Termite was more of a Spell Caster, compared to the Ants who were warriors. Although it’s health was high because of its rank, its defenses weren’t that strong.

The three half-melted Adamantium Bullets collided with its body, creating loud thudding sounds, pushing the Giant Termite back a few meters before it came to a complete stop.

Although it was hurt, it didn’t make any sound, and pretended to brush off the damage it received, making the Deimos-Ranked Ants think that their attacks did minimal damage to their nemesis.

The Malevolent Blaze Coned Termite then raised its head to the sky, summoning a Fire Storm, which rained fireballs to the Ant Army.

Due to the Ants’ numbers, the Giant Termite didn’t need to aim. It was sure that wherever a fireball landed, it would hit something!

Just as it expected, all the Ants below the Deimos Rank were incinerated the moment the fireballs landed on their bodies. Only the Adamantium Ants resisted its attacks.

While the Giant Termite brought down Hell on Earth, the three Deimos-Ranked Ants charged forward. They knew that they had to take out the greatest threat in the battlefield as soon as possible, or else their brethren would all be set on fire.

Seeing his opponents approach it, the Giant Termite gave the Humans behind it a brief glance before opening its wings to fly in the sky. Tʜe sourc of ths content s ovel(ꜰ)re.nt

It couldn’t allow the Adamantium Ants to get near the residents of Abingdon Town, or else they would be caught up in the battle between Deimos-Ranked monsters.

The Giant Termite knew that if it engaged the Ants in close combat, it would be the one to suffer. But at this point in time, it had no choice but to do it.

The reason was simple. If the Ants couldn’t get to it, they would just target the Humans instead.

The Giant Termite once again unleashed a Fire Breath on the Adamantine Ants before it dove to slam its flaming body against its opponents, just like a Phoenix in flight.

As a Soldier Termite, it was also capable in close combat. However, it still specialized in firing Fire Spells at its opponents.

Unlike the Fire Ants that its colony had faced in the past, the Tetramorium Ants, weren’t that resistant to fire. Even the Adamantium Ants, whose entire bodies were covered in Adamantine, weren’t too keen on being bathed in the Giant Termite’s searing flames.

Shrieks of pain reverberated throughout the battlefield as the lower-ranked Ants blew up one by one.

Left with no choice, they once again bombarded the Giant Termite with their powerful cannonball-like attacks, which created sparks the moment they hit the Giant Termite’s body.

After suffering significant damage, the Giant Termite was forced to land on the ground.

But, before that, it made sure to set the ground ablaze with another Fire Breath, creating a space and depriving the hateful Ants that outnumbered it a hundred thousand to one of more of their members.

The Giant Termite created five-meter tall Fire Walls in every direction, blocking the path of the Tetramorium Ants, forcing them to face it head-on.

“Come!” the Giant Termite screeched. “I’ll burn you all to a crisp!”

Angered by its taunts, the Ants ignored the Humans and made a beeline towards their mortal enemy, who had already killed thousands of their companions.

Lux and the others understood what the Giant Termite was trying to do, so they intensified their attacks on the opponents they were facing.

Ithaqua, who was still lying on the ground, gave a hoarse, but defiant roar.

A few seconds later, a stronger, and more powerful blizzard buffeted the Mosquitoes who had momentarily lost their momentum after the Giant Termite appeared.

“Ithaqua… you,” Asmodeus said as he looked at the Creature of the Cold White Silence. “Very well, I will not waste your sacrifice. I will take one of the enemies’ Deimos-Ranked Cores to revive you later.”

Ithaqua gave a low chuckle before its body turned into particles of light.

It had sacrificed its life in order to conjure a more powerful Blizzard that covered the battlefield, which shielded its allies from the flying insects, who had tried to take advantage of its injuries.

Just as it had done earlier, a dome of air surrounded the residents, preventing them from getting affected by the abnormal weather change, which had reduced their visibility to zero.

Although those who were riding on the wooden wagons felt anxious, and afraid, the blizzard that was blowing fiercely around them, gave them a sense of security.

It also gave them a feeling of warmth, despite the chilling temperature that prevented the Red Giant Hornets, and the Mosquito Swarm from taking their loved ones away from them.

“Morpheus, make them pay,” Asmodeus ordered as he, and his Doppelgangers summoned their Undead Army.

The Death Tyrant’s dozen eyes glowed crimson as it released Death Rays, Petrifying Rays, as well as other ray attacks that caused crippling status effects to its enemies.

In the face of a Death Tyrant, all kinds of healing magic and regeneration magic didn’t work. Although it had been with Ithaqua for only a short time, Morpheus got along well with the Giant Skeleton Wendigo, whom it considered as its first friend.

While the Death Tyrant was bombarding the mosquitoes that were hovering outside of the blizzard, Asmodeus’ Undead Army made their move in order to take revenge for their fallen comrade, who had passed the torch to their hands.
