Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chimera Ants, there was a reason why they received this name.

A chimera was an ancient mythological beast that was formed from the combination of a lion’s head, a goat’s body, and a dragon’s behind. This was a creature that personified a mishmash of random parts to create a terrifying monster.

As such, the chimeras that were normally found in games were described as monsters that were artificially created when different parts were brought together.

So for the Chimera Ants to receive this name, there was a reason.

It was simply because they were able to take in the attributes of the things that they ate that they were given the name chimera.

That was how that one ant had been able to mimic the voice of the rookie and the captain after eating parts from them.

In the game, the Chimera Ants had been classified as a weak monster, but that was only because the players knew how to deal with them. As long as they weren’t given much to eat, then they wouldn’t be able to pose a threat by integrating attributes from their food into themselves.

However, those that played the game also knew how dangerous these Chimera Ants could be.

There was a reason why they had survived this long even though they had this attribute that made people wary of them. It was simply because there was a powerful individual among the Chimera Ants that had evolved far beyond what normal Chimera Ants were capable of.

It was just a rumour, but it was said that this Chimera Ant even surpassed the demon king.

Of course, something like that would break the balance of the game and had never been included in the game. There were only rumours that were present about this creature in the game and nothing else.

But now that game world had become reality...it was very likely that this powerful Chimera Ant had become reality.

I just hoped that I would never run into this thing in the future.

As my subordinates watched the Chimera Ants swallow the enemy soldiers and gain their voices, they couldn’t help revealing terrified looks. They had never known that such a terrifying creature existed in the world.

Though they were enemies, they couldn’t help feeling sympathy for the Vikal Kingdom soldiers as they were being slaughtered by these Chimera Ants.

It was similar to how they had watched the Midra Kingdom troops being slaughtered on the Rising Land Plains by the Blood Worms.

As fellow humans, they could only feel sympathy for the Vikal Kingdom soldiers that were suffering from this slaughter.

There were parts of them that wanted to shout for them to run, but they held their silence in the end since these were the enemies.

After a while, the screams finally came to a stop.

When the screams came to a stop, they no longer had looks of sympathy for the Vikal Kingdom soldiers. Rather, they had looks of worry for themselves since they could see that the Chimera Ants were now wandering around in front of them.

I couldn’t help slightly knitting my brows too since this wasn’t what I had wanted to see.

I had expected someone from the Vikal Kingdom army to escape from this place and lead the Chimera Ants outside.

But I never thought that they would be so weak that they wouldn’t be able to break through in the end. If they couldn’t break through and lead the Chimera Ants outside where the rest of the Vikal Kingdom army was waiting, that would be a problem for us…

However, as I was debating this, there was noise that came from in front of us.

As I looked up, I found that there was a group that was still fighting.

This group had been able to break through the lines of Chimera Ants and reach the exit of this cave.

This was the group that the commander led.

It seemed that they hadn’t been distracted at all by the mimicked voices of the Chimera Ants, which had allowed them to reach the exit in the end.

Was it because they were coldhearted or was it because of something else?

Still, it was a good thing that they were able to make it to the exit in the end.

After they reached the exit, I saw the commander turning back one last time to glare at me before they left this cave. The way that he looked at me, it was almost as if he was glad that I would be stuck in this cave with the Chimera Ants.

It was as if he thought that I would be attacked by these Chimera Ants once he left.

But I couldn’t help revealing a faint smile seeing this.

If the Chimera Ants had never attacked me before this, why would they attack our group now?

It was clear that this wouldn’t be what happened if he ran.

As soon as the commander and his group reached the exit, what I expected to happen happened.

The ones that had been wandering around seemed like they had been summoned by something before gathering at the exit of the cave.

There were a few that had chased after the commander and his troops, but many of them were still inside of this cave. It seemed like they were waiting for something as they gathered in rows.

It was only when there were enough of them gathered that they suddenly ran out of the cave and chased after the commander and his troops that had escaped.

Seeing the Chimera Ants leave this cave, my subordinates couldn’t help feeling much more relieved. But at the same time, there were looks of sympathy that appeared on their faces as they felt sorry for the Vikal Kingdom army.

Once the Chimera Ants were all gone, I waved my hand at them and said, ”Alright, let’s go. It’s time to earn your keep and do a bit of work.”

They were all confused when they heard this, but they still followed me in the end.

Though many of them couldn’t help feeling a chill run down their spine.
