Villain's Valor: A Noble Fantasy Resurrection-Chapter 219: Is the best

BOOM!!!

Anthony drove his sword into the skull of a creature and, looking ahead, furrowed his brow as he noticed the multitude of ants in the damn cave. They were horrible creatures, two meters tall, and the darkness trembled on the walls as thousands of tentacles emerged, crushing the ants in a futile attempt to stop them.

The creatures’ chirps echoed in the air, and more ants took the place of those that fell, as if there were no end.

Anthony’s aura merged with his sword, and a crystal black flame surged from it, voracious and hungry. He advanced forward, consuming everything in his path, making the ants’ exoskeletons disappear. The flame grew larger and larger until it reached a wall further into the cave, where it caused a massive collision. The remnants of the flames scattered across the area, finishing off the remaining ants.

Anthony and the two girls advanced together, and as Anthony looked at Perséfone, he gave her a mocking smile. Perséfone responded with a sheepish smile, looking away. Anthony remembered the moment when Perséfone had summoned her little skeleton, which was brutally massacred by an ant, leaving her out of the fight.

"Poor skeleton," Anthony thought to himself as they moved among the ashes. Estefany still didn’t show her mana, indicating that she was being cautious. They reached a crossroads with two paths: one to the right and one to the left. Anthony deployed two thin threads of darkness from his fingers, each taking a path.

After waiting a few minutes with his eyes closed, Anthony decided to follow the path to the right, as the left path seemed to have no way out.

The tunnel downward on the chosen path was very wide, and Anthony supposed it was where all the ants had come from. Using his mana, he covered the girls and teleported them to the front of the tunnel. As he observed its depth, he frowned; it was deeper than he had anticipated. After an hour of descent, they finally reached solid ground.

"I’ll have to spend a large amount of mana to teleport us to that place," he reflected internally. He had spent almost half of his reserves, but he trusted that with the help of the little fairy, he could replenish them in a few hours.

"Let’s rest for a bit," Anthony said as he sat in a corner; the other two girls did the same and began to converse among themselves, as they had spent a lot of time together it was normal for them to begin to have camaraderie.

Ema pursed her lips and puffed her cheeks in annoyance. She fixed her gaze on a crystalline stone, the same one her older brother had given her. The reason for her annoyance was that her brother hadn’t sent her any messages in the past week. Normally, he used to write to her two or three times a week, but that day she hadn’t received any messages.

She looked ahead and saw the huge mountain of books on her desk, which made her furrow her brow even more. Since her brother and her teacher had left, she hadn’t stopped studying. Every day, in the mornings and evenings, she would study. During midday, she would spend time with her mother or father, telling them how well she was progressing.

Her mother always gave her a big hug and kissed her forehead. Nicol, her mother, was now the personal servant of Anthony’s mother, Esmeralda Von Valeriano. On the other hand, her father had become the head of the family’s forge. In short, Ema’s family was thriving.

Ema looked at the stone, and a sigh left her softly on the desk. "Why are you upset, Ema?" A soft voice snapped her out of her thoughts. She turned her head and saw a woman with black hair and gray eyes, with white and clean skin. She wore a sky-blue suit and was very beautiful.

Ema looked at her and smiled sweetly. "Hmph, I’m upset because I haven’t received any messages from my older brother," she said as she puffed her cheeks and crossed her arms.

Esmeralda smiled and sat next to her, observing the books on the table with satisfaction. "Anthony is busy with his second event at the moment. He won’t be able to send you any messages for the next two months, dear," Esmeralda explained sweetly.

Ema opened her eyes after a few moments of reflection and nodded sadly. Esmeralda stroked her head tenderly. "Don’t be so sad. Do you want me to tell you something amazing?" she asked with a mysterious smile.

Ema nodded eagerly, always ready to listen to secrets, especially if they involved other people. "I heard that your brother got first place in his first event. It’s incredible, isn’t it!" Esmeralda said as she puffed out her chest with pride.

Ema’s eyes sparkled, and she clenched her fists. "My brother is the best!" she exclaimed, puffing out her chest with pride too.

Anthony looked at the underground while the three of them were under the tunnel. After a few hours of rest, he felt that his mana reserves were at their peak. Thanking the little fairy, he emerged from his sea of souls and covered the girls with his mana, making them disappear into the depths of the tunnel. He quickly extended his senses in all directions, but couldn’t find anything.

There were hundreds of thousands of tunnels everywhere, so he remained alert, still covering the girls with his mana, which made them undetectable by the creatures.

Walking slowly, the three of them hid behind a rock. Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and the walls of the ceiling did too. The tunnels everywhere began to expel thousands of ants. Quickly, the place filled with thousands of them, which gathered in the center, the largest ones up to 4 meters in size. Their huge pincers began to tear the earth beneath them, creating another tunnel.

Anthony watched them as he calculated that there were more than 20,000 ants just in this place, all of them Maximum and Medium-Gold rank. It was a number that exceeded Anthony’s capabilities.
