Chrysalis

Chapter 860

It was a tired and bedraggled group that I led out of the tunnels after a few days of hunting. Trying to track down the groups of demons that had escaped from the city proved to be a massive pain in the business district, much as I expected it to. Nevertheless, when we finally made our way to the plains outside of Orpule around which Vibrant and her gang were still running laps, we returned triumphant! Seven out of ten groups successfully annihilated! It was rough going, especially toward the end when everyone (other than me) was tired, but we persevered! The destruction of these groups will surely cause some pain for the city which will soon become part of the Colony's territory!

Gweheheheh.

Brilliant was instrumental in bringing about this outcome, her ability to tap into the residual memory of the Dungeon itself was the only way we could track the wayward demons. As a side benefit, we've gotten close to pushing the hatchling to tier five in what must surely be the most rapid ascent of any ant in the history of the Colony! Another ten levels and she'll have it! Once the battle for the city is done, getting her to evolve is going to be my highest priority! Once she reaches that stage she'll be decently strong and I won't have to worry about her evaporating in a puff of smoke when some demon looks at her the wrong way.

"Hey-hey, Senior!" Vibrant greets us enthusiastically when she finally loops around the city and back to our side. "Nice to see you again! How'd things go? Good I hope! I'm sure they were good! Hello Crin-Crin! Are you ready for more tag? I sure am!"

The machine gun of pheromones into my face is as unpleasant as ever and it's almost a relief to encourage the eldritch horror riding on my back to go have some fun with her friend whilst the rest of us take stock for a moment.

"How many were you able to destroy, Eldest?" the general Emilia approaches, ready to record our latest results.
