Dragon King's Harem Chapter 119. The Last Day IV
"There's a long background story for this. But for sure, it's impossible for this place," I said before I took another bite of my plain toast.
"Why?" asked Jyne with a frown.
"Is it because of this place's Mana Flow?" Evelina guessed.
"More or less," I replied.
"But, can't small changes happen?" Eir added.
I shook my head from side to side. This place was very special and the fierce battle had permanently damaged this place's Mana flow. Unfortunately, I had to keep the incident a secret to protect the reputation of the three leaders. The Undead, Demon and Dragon tribes. Although the Third Dragon King was not involved, his failure to mediate the two leaders was undeniable. Not to mention, it cost his territory.
Eir tilted his head and frowned in confusion.
"That's weird," he muttered.
"Don't worry. I didn't detect anything strange, so it's not something you need to worry about. We'll be passing through that place later. We'll find out the cause after checking it out." I couldn't deny I was also quite curious about this, so I would definitely check it out.
After that, we finished our lunch as we talked about other things. Mostly reminded them of what they had to do in the forest. Even though there wasn't any movement in the forest and it looked like a desolate one, my Dragon Vision was able to catch a lot of monsters lurking within. The monsters hid behind trees and rocks, even in the ground.
Attacks could come from all directions at any time. Different from the forests we had passed before, we had to kill every monster that stalked or approached us. Because the monsters had ranged attacks and were poisonous. Worse, they could suck our energy and Mana from a distance. So if we didn't kill them, then they were the ones who would kill us.
Half an hour later, we packed up our things and got ready to continue our journey. But when I just deactivated the alarm parchment, my eyes caught a swarm of insect type monsters approaching us. They came from the direction we came from earlier.
"We got company," I announced. "We should move!" I said as I turned to Eir and the others. But then my eyes caught the same horde of monsters from the direction of the forest. So did our other two sides. In other words... We were surrounded.
"Forget it. Battle formation! Now!" I shouted. Unlike when we were attacked by the Cruel Cratulas in the Dragonfire Desert, we couldn't break through them, because that would be the same as suicide. So the only way was to take cover and finish them off. They were all just low-level monsters after all. Still, their type and number could kill us.
Upon my command, Eir pulled the Yegauns into our midst before taking a position facing one of the hordes. When Evelina used her Mana Barrier to protect us. But instead of a dome, she made her Mana Barrier a protective wall around us. Just like Eir, she and Jyne also faced one of the hordes, preparing to face them after giving us her support skills.

Our eyes were on the monsters. They were around a big dog size, with a body shaped like an ant. The difference from a real ant, their exoskeleton was made of bones similar to humans. Those were their victims' bones since they were bone collectors. As befitting of a monster of this type, they did not have a head. Three tentacles with eyes and sharp teeth at the ends replaced it.

I could kill them all easily, but since there were hundreds of them. Who knew I missed some of them? After all, killing them like this was more efficient than killing them alone.
'Fire Pillar!'
My huge fire Pillar appeared in their midst, burned some in an instant.
[Overkill!]
[You have burned a Bone Eater for 976 HP] X37*
*He kills 37 of them.
But the rest didn't care and kept going like a swarm of hungry ants. Then I used my Telekinetic.
[50 Bone Eaters are in your control.]
After that, I simply threw them at the Fire Pillar.
[Overkill!]
[You have burned a Bone Eater for 972 HP] X50*
*He kills 50 of them.
I simply combined my Fire Pillar and my Telekinetic to fight them. Not only for the enemies in front of me but also the enemies on the other side, just to reduce their numbers.
While the others took care of the rest. Eir combined his Fire Bolt and Frost Bolt. Evelina used her Holy Beam and I could say her results were not much different from mine. Well, this type of monster was weak on element light so she could defeat them easily. And Jyne used her Thunder Bolt.
We didn't know how many monsters we had killed, but at least we fought them around ten minutes before the attack ended. I swept my gaze once more, gazing at the field around us that was full of the remnants to make sure no more monsters invaded us before I turned to the others.
"Are you guys okay?" I asked.
They answered by nodding their heads. But I knew, even though the battle was short, it used up their Mana. So I decided to give them my Mana Potions before we continued the journey again. This attack indicated that the monsters in the forest had already noticed our presence. What we could do was prepare ourselves as best we could to counter them. Apart from that, I also gave Antidotes to them and our mounts. These were special Antidotes made to prevent low-level toxins from infecting our bodies.
