Not only did I just destroyed the walls thanks to the aid of Takeshi and Laura, but I even managed to easily push through five levels in a row! I couldn't had done it simply by detonating my own phantom inside, as I needed the combined and strengthened power of Laura's Detonation and Takeshi's Fishing Rod capable of getting all the way into the spatial walls to do this! It was an amazing teamwork if I say so myself.

And alongside that, most of the Ants behind died on the spot crushed to death, even the Goliaths died! I thought those guys could at least take a few building-sized boulders, but I guess they can't. And with a smile in my face, I quickly reached the Boss Room with my group, finally confronting the one behind the Ant Colony.

As I quickly brought them all out of my shadows, I was quickly confronted by an annoyed and furious Ant Queen, a woman with the lower half of a gigantic Ant and a big abdomen, and the upper half of big woman. Her body by itself was at least four to five meters tall, she was certainly bigger than all other ants except the Goliaths, which makes me think those titans might start as normal sized ants that simply continue growing out of proportion.

"H-How did you…!?" She muttered, a furious look in her face quickly emerged.

Her red eyes glowed annoyingly as, right above her beautiful human eyes there were two enormous ant-like eyes on top of her head.

Her antennas were also big and horn-shaped, growing upwards. Her humanoid upper half was covered in exoskeleton but there were a few crevices showing some fair white skin behind.

She emanated a monstrous and demonic aura, her chest held a large black crystal emanating something truly monstrous, like I could only compare to that time I fought against the mutated Agatha.

Could this thing be…? No, there's no way, right?

Or could it truly be a fragment of the Evil God?!

"Hmph… So you've guessed as much, I can tell by your frightened face and the enormous aura you're letting out…" She said with a smile, her presence erupting with enormous and all-encompassing darkness. It felt as if the depths of the abyss itself opened behind her.

I wasn't scared myself, but nervous. I could truly tell she was holding something she really shouldn't be having right now! In fact why are the gods so stupid to leave the pieces of their archnemesis lying around the world so easily?!

"This power…! Maria…?!" Lucifer quickly realized what was happening, as a shockwave of miasma suddenly flew towards us. He jumped forward and quickly defended us from it, tanking the entire attack by himself.

CLAAASH!

"Nnnghh… Uuggh…!" Lucifer gritted his teeth, the Miasma was completely different from the one we had fought before, it was so overpowering that it began to turn Lucifer's scales into ashes?!

"Lucifer!!!" I ran to his side to protect him, but I quickly realized the rest of my party was shielding themselves from this enormous miasma behind me!

"T-This Miasma, it hurts…! Cough…!" Emeraldine began to cough desperately.

"Agh! It burns!" Partner cried.

"I can't breathe… Agh…!" Takeshi was about to collapse.

"T-This is…! Not even us can absorb this Miasma?!" Laura wondered.

"Shit! Go back to my Shadows!" I said.

I quickly divided my body and put them all inside of my shadows, but Lucifer was somehow trapped within this darkness, and it was making his entire body stiff and paralyzed! Was he caught in some sort of special Curse?!

"Agghhh! D-Damn it!" I cried, trying to grab Lucifer with my entire body, covering him.

"ROOOAAAARRRR!!!"

Lucifer roared in agony and fury, as his Dragon Breath emerged from his jaws, impacting the Ant Queen!

BOOOOOMMMM!!!

However, as the smoke dissipated, the breath attack was easily stopped by a barrier of… Miasma? It wasn't even Darkness, but pure Miasma!

"S-Shit…!" Lucifer muttered, his entire body began to crumble apart, as if his skin had turned into rocks which were beginning to fall apart into ashes.

"Lucifer! [Death Restoration]!"

FLASH!

Suddenly, a coat of phantom covered Lucifer's entire body as I put all my MP into healing him almost completely, he quickly regressed to his original appearance, but he suddenly vomited blood as he began gasping for air.

"Hmph, you are quite the hardy bunch. I was trying to take you down normally so my Colony could earn some well deserved EXP and Level Up further, but you've really done it now. If you walked straight into my room thinking I would be something that you could defeat easily, then you're completely wrong." The Ant Queen spoke. "Ghost, Dragon, or whatever… You're just a side show for me, nothing special… I had fun trying to make my ants evolve by fighting you as a challenge, but I've had enough of being entertained by you lot. Abyssal Rend!"

SLAAASH!

And then, an enormous mass of darkness emerged before us, shattering space itself to immediately reach us without us even being able to evade, piercing through our bodies and slicing both our bodies and souls apart.

TRUUUUUMMM…!
