Huh? What the heck with this critter? It has 20 Divinity and even pretty high-level skills! And to boot, it seems to be glancing directly at us!

"SHYEEEE!"

The bug lost no time, jumping straight towards us! Its speed was otherworldly for a critter at C+ Rank, and as it flew, it began spitting acid everywhere, trying to get us with an attack.

"Crush it! Crush it! I hate bugs like those! They\'re so disgusting!" Ariant cried, hiding behind Brunhild\'s leg.

"Eh? It is just a bug, poor thing." Brunhild sighed. "Fine."

Brunhild carefreely slapped her hand against the beetle, pushing it down into the floor.

SLAAAAM!

CRASH!

The creature was easily crushed into the ground, as its entire body crushed the rock below into cracks… however, its legs began to twitch and it suddenly got up again.

"Eh? It can take a hit?" Asked Eriant.

"Well these beetles are very hardy. Papa taught the children to ignore them. They sometimes spit some liquid but it doesn\'t really hurt our skin, which is hard as metal." Said Brunhild.

"So you just ignore these atrocities?!" Asked Fiere. "If there were these things wandering around the elven domains everyone would lose it. well, there are giant bugs there too, but deeper into the forest. This feels oddly close to the city…"

"They taste bad so nobody eats them. Antlion is tastier and has a lot of juice once you boil them or grill them." Said Brunhild.

"GRSYHIEEE!"

The enormous beetle flew towards us again, conjuring magic, firing several rock spears and shadow bullets.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Agh, so annoying. They always fire magic when they\'re provoked." Brunhild sighed as she walked around, quickly seeing more and more showing up. "Ugh, and they\'re pretty good at calling for friends…"

"I am quite shocked by how carefreely you take the situation we are in. we are currently being ambushed by a monster swarm, Brunhild. Are giants so carefree?" Sighed Luminous.

"Unless they\'re over a hundred it is not that worrisome. Only Wyverns are a big threat here." Said Brunhild.

"Ugh, damn it! I am done with this!" Fiere roared furiously, pointing one of her arrows against the first bug we found and then firing a powerful Blazing Dragon Arrow, which exploded into a dragon made of flames once it impacted the bug and consumed it in fire until it remained as a charred corpse.

BOOOMMM!!!

The body fell motionlessly over the floor, it was unable to move anymore for sure now.

"SHAAAA!"

The other bugs saw what happened to their fellow friend, who was of their same species, and all began rushing towards us. Are all monsters in this area of the desert this dangerous?! Well, the walking cactuses are B Rank, I guess these bugs being C+ Rank are way less dangerous. They\'re weaker than giants who are born at B Rank.

"BBBZZZZZZ…!"

The sound of dozens of insect wings of enormous size echoed across the valley, as everyone began running the moment we saw we were being chased by an enormous and very annoying swarm of bugs, which only continued multiplying in size and numbers.

"This has no end! When are these critters going to give up on us?!" Luminous implored.

"I don\'t really know but they\'re very persistent aren\'t they?" Laughed Brunhild.

"She\'s really detached from common sense…" Sighed Ariant.

"No matter, we have to take care of the bugs ourselves then!" Eriant valiantly said, as he quickly touched the floor, the rocks began to tremble as sands emerged from underground, forming into several gigantic fists that punched and captured various bugs, crushing them with enormous strength.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

SPLAAAT!

Nothing better than nasty smelly bug juice in the morning, because there\'s a bunch of that everywhere now.

"Ugh, I told you not to kill them like that, they let out a very nasty smell! These bugs are just the worse." Sighed Brunhild. "But this might be a good time to practice magic… Rock Spear!"

FLAAASH!

Suddenly, Brunhild joined the fray as she conjured several Rock Spears and pierced a dozen of bugs, their bodies quickly falling into the ground motionlessly as they were pierced by her simple yet brutal magic several times.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"SHAAAA!"

However, the cries of these horrendous and hellish monsters only brought more and more, as they had a special Skill named [Call Ally], which pretty much allowed them to call more allies into battle, an incredible annoying son of a bitch that first one was to bring to many goddamn friends with him!

"SHYEEE!"

We were being swarmed by hundreds of these beetles now, if we continued moving down we would get swarmed even more as there were countless more coming from below. I could decimate them with powerful magic but I feared hat the entire valley might end up being destroyed and we will end up destroying a special route for the giants. The other choice was going by flight, but there were already many flying, and I saw the shades of gigantic wyverns in the sky.

If even the giants fear wyverns, then these guys are not normal wyverns but the giant kind that look more like dragons themselves. This entire mountain range was just a giant breeding nest of enormous and terrifying monsters! However, although there was a lot of danger, there was also a lot of opportunities.

"Alright, fuck it! Let\'s make all these bugs go extinct!"

I can\'t use magic that is too shaky, but I\'ll decimate them until the very last one. Surely, if I do that, they\'ll stop annoying us, right?
