Akemi stands across from the army of ants with the skeleton soldiers behind him and Solace standing next to him "this is my first time using this skill, let's so what you guys got"
The ants start running toward Akemi
Akemi points to the ants with his right index finger: "kill them"
The skeletons charge towards the ants
A fireball flies past Akemi, into the center of the ants and explodes
Akemi eyes widen "Huh?" he looks behind him and notices the skeleton mage "oh? I forgot all about you" he looks back at the ants and sees Solace running through the ants slicing them in half with him sword "jeez, leave some for the rest will ya"
Sometime Later
Akemi walks past the corpses of the ants lying on the ground "ugh, that was much faster than I thought "
A window appears next to Akemi
Window: " Skill upgrade, Resurrection Lv1 -> Resurrection Lv2 . Max number of resurrected has increased to 300"
Akemi: " Oh? I can have more?" he looks down at the ants and holds out his right hand
Black energy gathers around 50 of the ants
The ants get up and their red skin turns blue
Window: "Resurrection successful (250/300)"
The ants look up at Akemi
Akemi crouches and puts his left hand on a ant's head "now that you guys aren't trying to kill me, you're kinda cute" he stands up and starts walking "let's go"
The undead follows Akemi
A Moment Later
Akemi stops and looks up at 2 huge blue doors
Akemi: "This must be the boss room" he puts his hands on both of the doors and pushes them open
A light shines through the doors as it opens
Akemi squints his eyes "why is it so bright?" the light dims and he looks past the doors seeing big pink and blue crystals coming out of the ground "are those...Magic crystals?"
SKRRREEEEEEEKK
Akemi covers his ears "what is that loud sound?"
The ground shakes
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
Akemi looks to his right and sees a giant red ant
Giant Ant: "SKRRREEEEEEEKKK!!!!"
A window appears next to the giant ant "Ant Queen" in white letters
Akemi: "So it is the boss" he looks at the color of the name "it's white?"
The undead gets in fighting stance
Akemi holds his right hand towards the undead, there is no need. I have a different job for you guys
The undead looks at each other
Undead 1 tilts his head with a question mark over it
Undead 2 shrugs and looks to his left
Undead 3 shakes his head
A window appears in from of Akemi
Akemi presses on shops "oh? So organized" he starts pressing the screen
Window: "￥400,000 has been taken"
Akemi looks back at the undead "here" 200 pickaxes fall out of the inventory onto the ground "I want you guys to go and pick these magic crystals, I'll handle the boss myself"
The undead goes and picks up the pickaxes
Akemi turns back and walks towards the ant queen "Ok, let's see what you got" he jumps up into the air while smiling and 5 runes appear around the ant queen's head "hellflare"
Outside Of The Rift
Ken shaking his leg while sitting down "dammit, I can't take it anymore!"
Haru: "It hasn't even been 5 minutes yet"
Ken: "So what? you expect me to believe a D rank hunter can clear a C rank rift when it takes all 3 of us or more to clear it?"
Haru: "Uncle said-"
Ken: "Forget what uncle said!"
Fumiko: "now now, let's calm down"
Ken: "Calm down? Fumiko, you're on my side for this one right? What if that guy goes in there and gets himself killed, he's probably already dead!"
Fumiko sighs "well, I can't say I'm not on your side"
Ken: "See"
Fumiko: "But, we should trust what uncle says"
Ken: "Bullshit!" he stands up "I'm not trusting anything that old bastard says"
Haru: "There he goes again" he looks at Fumiko "well I can't say I haven't been holding myself back this entire time"
Ken: "That's my brother" he smirks and walks towards the rift "let's go" he walks inside the rift
Haru shrugs
Fumiko: "I knew this would happen"
Haru laughs nervously "it always turns out this way"
Fumiko: "guess we're going to follow that idiot"
Haru: "Yup"
Haru and Fumiko walks into the rift
Inside The Rift
Fumiko walks through the rift "any sign of Akemi yet?" she bumps into Ken's back "ouch, hey! Why are you just standing there?"
Haru comes through the rift "Is something wrong?"
Ken starts forward without saying anything
Fumiko looks back and Haru
Haru shrugs
Fumiko and Haru looks past Ken then their eyes widens as they see all of the ants lying on the ground
A drop of sweat comes from Ken's head "What the hell?"
Haru walks from behind Ken and through the corpses
Fumiko: "Are they all dead?"
Haru keeps walking and looking at the corpses "fortunately yes!"
Fumiko walks towards Haru "did that guy really do this by himself?"
Ken: "That guy!"
Haru: "Did that clear up your doubts Ken?"
Ken: "No, it did not" he walks past Haru and Fumiko "let's see did he make it to the boss room, he may be in there now" he starts walking
Fumiko sighs
Haru smiles "I know what you are thinking, but his intentions are good"
Moments Later
Ken, Haru and Fumiko gets to the boss room doors
Ken looks at the door and notices it's open "he must be in there, let's hurry" he runs towards the doors
Haru and Fumiko look and each other then nods and run after Ken
Boss Room
Akemi sitting on top of the ant queen's headless a body with a magic crystal in his left hand "who would have thought I would find magic crystals in a place like this. If I remember magic crystals are about 4 times more than magic ores" he looks down at the undead "okay you guys, I think that's enough"
The undead throws their hands in the air
Footsteps echoes through the cave
The undead runs in front of Akemi with their pickaxes in their hands
Ken runs through the door "Akemi! You ali- what?"
Haru and Fumiko runs through the door
Fumiko pants "Would it kill you to slow down a little!"
Haru looks at Fumiko "no use worrying about it now right? Let's just make sure Ake-" Haru looks ahead and his jaw drops
Fumiko panting "What?" she looks to her right and her eyes widens
Akemi sighs and looks at Fumiko, Ken and Haru "I knew you wouldn't listen to me" his eyes shines golden
