Third Persons P.O.V:-
As soon as the workers were bought, the crystal spirit, the master of the dungeon ordered them to go and create chaos midst the ranks of those amateurs entering their home, but from the way things happened and situations perspired he thought maybe there was actually no need to buy them yet
His dungeon helper Minie ordered their only capable fighter of their dungeon in the skin of a worker to stop those invading humans from advancing, but she also ordered it to not die and retreat at the time it felt crisis in its life.
No, it wasn’t him who got brutally and crushingly defeated in a single strike or anything, but the humans, who could not do anything in front of it.
After hearing his orders, the buff ant worker, who was resting in a room a bit further inside the dungeon stood up and started running at its top speed and travelled past the puzzling corridors of is masters evil genius, until it encountered the humans lazily walking towards him, without any vigilance towards their surroundings or any attention to the danger that might be lurking just above their heads.
Opposite to it, the humans saw a bulldozer madly rushing towards them. They could help but start shouting, as they froze in their places.
“What is that?”
“How would I know, what that is?”
“Is that an ant?”
“How can an ant be s- so monster-ish?”
When his friends heard him say a gibberish word like that they couldn’t help, but look back at his idiot face and they collectively snorted in disdain to his ash filled brain, but they had clearly forgotten about something.
Their captain was the first one to come back to his senses and just as he did, he saw that the wannabe dragon ant was already too close to them to run away, so he gave a specific order to his underlings.
“Disperse, Disperse, Disperse. Create space and don’t stick together. MOVE!” A drop of sweat trickled down from his temple, to his face as it fell on the ground, but in the time it took for it to make contact with the floor, the ant which was like the Messiah of destruction and death to them struck in the middle of their party like a bowling ball, as almost all of them scattered away from it. But someone was not as lucky, as it directly collided with him.
While four of them scattered to the left and right, the one in the middle, who had given the suggestion to pluck those mushrooms for lightening the dark tunnels made a head on collision with the truck coming running from the front.
Truck- sama struck him and he flew. His life flashed in front of his eyes, as scenes of his evil nature and waste of a life unfolded scene by scene in front of him.
When the flash back ended, he noticed that he was actually dying without achieving or even doing anything in his life. Tears of regret and the wails of remorse started rushing out of his eyes and mouth as he flew away from his friends in name, his bitch of a boss and the heavenly calamity like monster which had bestowed upon him the gift of flying.
As he thought such a ‘NO’ shout escaped his mouth showing his tenacity and strength and his desire to live but his life soon came to an end.
*Puck* *GWAh*
He flew through the air like a cannon ball and directly struck the wall behind him, head first, as his head exploded into a shower of red and white like a watermelon. His brain matter and blood plastered the wall in a very deadly graffiti as the eyes of his companion’s bulged out seeing the horror of the strength, which their dear ant must have used to create something so spectacular.
Actually, because the buff worker is very slow, so even the man wouldn’t have flown through the air like that if he had been struck normally, but his destiny changed and his fate got sealed when his slow reaction was coupled with a skill ‘Power Throw’ by the ant.
Just as it was going to collide with him, it used one of its three offensive skills and the as the skill's name say, the power it used to throw the human as an object was enough to take his life.
His companions looked back to see how the condition of their companion had turned out to be, and their already bulged eyes fell out of their sockets and their mood turned grim.
They again collectively turned their heads to look at the perpetrator of the mess and they what they saw horrified them even more.
It was not standing away like they had thought it to be, but was now facing the two people standing on the left, as its steal spear shaped antennae’s were flying towards them. If the attack had just only started or if they were not being attacked so out of the blue, then even though they would still have needed to sacrificing an arm or leg, but they could have at least held onto their lives, but the spear antennas had already covered the little gap between them and the ant and those spears were already only just a foot away from them.
The spears flew towards them, creating *woosh* *Woosh* sounds and touched their chests, penetrated their hearts, tore through their back and flew away creating a spurt of blood and organs. The impact force was so great that the spear not only tore their hearts out, but it also brought their lungs and other organs in tow. The spear flew through the air and fell as it made impact with the ground.
*Doon*(Sfx: spear striking ground.)
Their lifeless bodies fell, as the leaking blood and broken, torn down organs created a scene straight out of hell.
The vice captain and one of his only companion who was left alive shuddered, looking at the scene and one of them vomited his stomach out and the other stained his pants, but oblivious to their rapidly falling motivation and paling faces the ant used the strength of its legs and moved towards them.
The vice captain who came inside the cave thinking they had finally struck jackpot, started crying and shouting, as he ran towards the entrance from where they had come inside.
“Why? Why is this happening? What the fuck is this?”
But to his bad luck, his sudden and rapid movements caught the eyes of his dream monster and it started running after him without giving any thought to its decision and it left the other one alive.
*EEeee* the ant screamed in a high pitched voice as it madly rushed behind him.
He looked aback, but blood drained from his face when he saw blood dripping from the spears connected to the ants head and its mandibles shining with a strange light. He thought of it as the grim reaper that was running behind him to forcibly abduct his soul and quickened his pace.
Though he was only a low leveled ordinary man wanted to live his life passionately, but because of low income and childhood bullies, he ended up becoming a low life thug, a gangster, a bully himself.
His thoughts of living a honest life dimmed away as he advanced through the ranks of his joined gang, and as he kept on creating mayhem and pillaging small villages; he himself turned into one of those bullies who once used to bully him, but even after living his life on the edge, as he thought he was living, he had never thought that one day he would actually end up meeting a real bully.
The ant opened its mandibles and the growing light coming from them sharpened and increased in intensity. He also understood that it was going to use a skill, as his fears increased and reached a new height he suddenly remembered his,
“Mommy…”
*roar* The ant got irritated as it closed its open mandibles. It created a *snap* sound and a wall of energy travelled towards the human running away in panic as he stumbled and rolled on the ground the skill hit him.

The wall of light struck him and the area around him. It didn’t create an explosion, neither did it show any signs of destruction. It just simply created a flash of light and that’s all.
When Minie and Rocky looked at the place where the running human was tumbling around, they saw that he was nowhere to be seen. Eventually, after looking closely they found that in his place there was only a stash of ash, which also crumbled away and blended with the dust on the ground.
Minie’s eyes were already bulging out from the time that it had helped the first human fly, but by this time her surprised expression and slightly red face became exponentially and greatly influenced, as she started shouting in joy watching it completely destroy four humans on its own.
But then her forehead creased as she remembered that there were five of them and not four. She checked the battlefield to see if the one uncounted for was there or not, but to her surprise the room was devoid of any presence, other than her cute little grown up larvae.
“Where did the fifth one go?”
She murmured to herself, but her astonishment and surprise quickly faded away when she heard Rock tell her about him.
“The fifth is being taken care of. Um… See, he’s there.”
She looked at the screen which was floating in front of her master and friend Rocky and saw four ants circling around a cowardly human sitting on the ground while he was covering and shaking in fear, as he mumbled.
“Save me, somebody. Please, save me!”
She felt a bit awkward and confused looking at the scene as she couldn’t understand how he had gotten there. So, she decided to ask Rocky.
“He... How did he get here? Wasn’t he together with the other humans?”
“Oh! When their vice captain started running towards the entrance and our bodybuilder decide to go after him, he took the chance and an away, but he made a mistake as he had started running even deeper inside the dungeon instead of running towards the entrance, and his wrong decision. Though he made a fine decision, but unfortunately for him my newly bought workers were also running towards him, so he got caught.”
“But why are you not killing him?”
She asked him, as if it was the most natural reaction to kill a human, but Rocky also answered with something which could only be considered as a blasphemy to gods order or an atrocious crime towards a sentinel being.
“Let’s milk, some credits out of him. He is the biggest coward out of them, won't his fear and degraded mental state help us get a lot of dungeon credits? We can always kill him anyways, and then I can digest his body leaving no clue behind. Won’t it, then be okay?”
Her lips twitched a little when she heard him say that, because he had suddenly found a solution to their biggest problem, money and also using one of their rejected methods.
“No need to keep the human trapped for too long, kill him after milking some credits out of him.”
“Huh, okay. Let’s create a sturdy cage for him and make sure that he doesn’t run away.”
“Yeah, sure.” He answered as his sight traveled from his helper to his dungeon monsters.
Then he controlled the ants to carry the human to towards the entrance to the second floor. Because the monsters were going to be sent there for digging the floor, he thought that it would be the best place to keep him.
“Okay, right so what should we do now, Minie?” He said looking at Minie, who was busy playing with her hair.
“Eat their bodies and open your waste item bag. It’s finally time to check our harvest.”
He remembered the process of eating the bodies as he completed the process and message box informing about their total haul came in front of him.
+ 412Dc
It was the total amount of credits which they had gained after killing and absorbing their bodies and he understood the difference between the amount of credits that a seasoned adventurer and some low key bozos give.
He then noticed that he couldn’t absorb the ash scattered around. It told him that a little amount of money was wasted because his Ant couldn’t control itself.
He reluctantly looked at the buff Ant’s back, who was carrying the human to towards the entrance to the second floor and an expression of regret formed on his face.
So after eating all the bodies and drinking all of the spilled blood and organs he looked towards Minie, who also nodded at him and opened her side of the dungeon interface.
She fiddled with it somewhat and then after sometime an expression of pure joy and excitement flashed on her face as she looked at Rocky with her sparkling bright eyes.
A bit of droll also travelled down from her lips and towards her chin, but she didn’t pay any attention to it, while Rocky’s crystal got heated up cause of it.
“You got it.” He asked her whether she was successful in opening the Item Bag.
“Hai! Here.” She replied.
As she said that a blue colored normal window screen opened in front of him listing various items and the like.

He looked at all the options half heartedly because what did he knew about the difference between a low quality and a high quality sword, the difference between leather and steel armor. To him they held no importance because he wasn’t going to wear them anyways, but his laziness abruptly came to an end and all his senses opened to the profound when his eyes fell on the skill book section.
He remembered that it was possible to remove stuff from this waste bag, so he hurriedly asked Minie to get him the skill books.
“Minie get the skill books out of there and let me have them?”
He cried out in joy when he saw the skill book section had two skills in them.
“What skill b… oh! Looks like our assassin friend dropped something nice before dying. It’s okay, but why are you getting so excited over two skills?”
“Ha-ha, it’s not about the skills themselves, I think I just found a way to make our second floor confusing and a trap in itself. Hahaha.”
