I Become Master of Danger Zones as Incubus With Mastery In Genetic-Chapter 542: Locating Threats in Forest of Bug
After finishing putting the device, called by his Master as Mana and Geographic Scanner or MaGS as his Master called it for short. Everyone else just called it scanner though, because it was easier to know what they were talking about.
With the scanners in place, he will have to do another job, one just as important, if not more so. Determining the number of threats in the area.
Due to his forces compromising of C-ranks and above, colonies of D-ranks and individual C-rank Bugs will not be considered a threat by their standards. Instead, only C-rank colonies and above, and B-rank individuals and above will be considered a threat.
The others will follow the same threat allocation as well, to determine the allocation of forces. Though, he doubt the dangers could exceed the Grassy Hill, with its colony of Lunar Ants and its mighty Empress. Which is dubbed as the most dangerous place outside the Core. And the sole reason why no one was send there, even in daylight.
’Let’s hope the Master will have a way to subdue them, because even with all the given forces, it will be very hard without suffering extensive losses.’

The Center Section is a large forest, with large trees populating it. Due to their sizes, the distance between each trees is enough for an entire company of men to walk pass easily, or entire group of Bugs now that he think about it.
As he walked across the forest, he spread his mana sense, trying to find any powerful creatures that will be of his Master’s interest or to be added into the threat section.
So far, he only found 3 large colonies of super-sized Ants, with the workers being at D-rank while the soldiers at C-ranks with some stronger ones even at B-ranks.
It made them into a middle-level threat, capable of harming his forces, but not enough to endanger them when facing them head on.
"Are there any A-rank Bugs here, or am I just becoming paranoid?" he asked himself. Slowly though, he stopped, sensing a powerful presence.
He turned at the direction of the Source, his eyes soon finding a large dead tree. Aridus pondered over the course of action before deciding to getting the answer.
He stepped close to the dead tree, only for a large hornet to emerge from the back, surprising the Hell out of him. However, even surprised, he did not get caught totally off guard, barely dodging the Bug’s stinger.
Though, it was a close one.
"An A-rank Bug!" he exclaimed both happy and slightly annoyed at it. After all, a single A-rank Bug is considered a middle-level threat. As for why it did not get any higher than that, it’s because the number of A-rankers of his forces numbered about 70, which is about the same number as A-rankers of the destroyed Astor Kingdom.
For a Danger Zone located in the weaker Betrum Nation, the number of A-rank Bugs should be lower than their numbers, as it would be impossible for Betrum Nation to not be destroyed if they have to handle larger number of A-rank Bugs.
"Now then, it’s time to send you off!" Aridus is considered not only the strongest A-rank among the male servants, but also in the entire realm, surpassing even the Troll Overlord and equal to the stronger Elder Witches.
He punched the Bug, a Hornet, sending it flying away before running. He did not plan to kill it, as the Bug would be a great addition to his Master’s force.

After the encounter with the A-rank Bug, he walked around the Center Section some more, and end up encountering more Bugs. As he did so, he keep asking the same question.
’How did Master, or any of us for that matter, manage to survive walking in the Forest?!’ it is a valid question as his Section alone let him find about 378 low-level threat, 56 middle-level threat, and 6 high-level threat, the last one made out of colonies with large number of C-rankers as their fighting force, while having a number of B-rankers and more than one A-rankers.
"It will be hard for us to fight them without suffering too many casualties, not to mention there still the other 3 Section." he did not plan on counting the West Section yet, as the population of Bugs there consist of only one species, Lunar Ants.
Of course, there might be some that are hidden or manage to become a predominant force against the Lunar Ants, which still make him not wanting to go near that, at least without an ability to spy the Nest without being detected.
"I have walk a part of the Center Section. Let’s rest here for now before continuing the inspection." the Master had allow him to take anything of use for the expedition. One of them being a cloak to hide himself, it being imbued with Darkness Magic, and another a tent with the same property, with slight Plant Magic, to better camouflage itself.
With those two equipment, he was sure he will be hard to detect by anyone, or anything.

Thankfully, there are no losses in life, which he was worried about, especially of Maroon as he was heading close to the Core Region of the Danger Zone, the mot dangerous place in the entire Danger Zone.
They shared a glance as Aridus said, "Report."
"In the East Section, there are about 209 low-level threat, 34 middle-level threat, and 2 high-level threat, most of them colonies of water-Bugs or water-attribute Bugs. The last two being a Large Hydro Mantis, and a colony of Energy Draining Mosquitoes, with 10 at A-rank." his brother from Band of Steel reported.
"In the North Section, there are about 189 low-level threat, 45 middle-level threat, and no high-level threat. So, it should be the safest place to create a base, but the most likely to be compromise by the visiting human." the Royal Guard said, giving his piece of advice.
Aridus repeated what he found, earning a slight grimace from them over the prospect of conquering the Center Section. But it was Maroon’s report that trump it all.
"In the South Section, there are about 109 low-level threat, 25 middle-level threat, and," Maroon took a deep breath, 18 high-level threat."
