"Corpse Explosion!"

[Corpse Explosion level 1 ➢ 2]

Boom!

Pointing at a dead body I cast my spell, instantly killing the crowd of giant termites nearby.

The mana consumption was only 10 and it did about 50~60 damage in a 5 meter radius. With such low mana cost it wasn't a problem to spam continuously.


The only downside was that I couldn't revive the bodies once I had blown them up. I had to choose whether to revive them through Necromancy or use Corpse explosion, because I couldn't do both.

"Corpse Explosion! Corpse Explosion!"

I pointed at several bodies, resulting in a series bangs similar to a fireworks show.

Kueeeeeeek

The young dragon stuck his head out and began to scream, maybe it was complaining that its food was being destroyed. I put the noisy guy back into the bag on my back and closed it tight.

The last of the gargoyles had already perished in the corpse explosions and there were none left standing. Likewise, my small hit squad of flying ants had already expired and turned into gray ash. It was just me against the swarm, but my new spell more than made up for it. The fireworks were still ongoing.

Boom! Bang!

More flying termites were coming in a tight formation, rows of 5, zipping through the hall.

"Inferno! Inferno!"

I aimed it high, right above the middle of their formation the inferno burns brightly creating a strong vacuum which pushes them all to the ground.

"Corpse Explosion! Corpse Explosion!"

[Acquired ⦅Title: Ant Exterminator⦆ Lv9]

[Corpse Explosion level 4 ➢ 5]

[Level increased 15 ➢ 20]

A wealth of experience points continued to be displayed before me. I had been advancing step by step and for the first time I was gaining ground as I was killing them faster than they could advance.

I already passed through the narrow passage, retracing my steps. Past the Catacombs and through the dragon's lair, killing my way towards the Jungle pit, all the dead termites became my experience points.

'It seems that for the first time I can sense some meekness on their part , Is it because of my title?'

A big reason as to why they had lost their momentum was also because their frontlines would hesitate upon seeing me, it was an instinctual fear. I kept on advancing.

"Corpse Explosion! Corpse Explosion!"

As they were retreating the efficiency of my corpse explosions were reduced.

'I'll have to give them some enticement'

I pull out the baby dragon from the bag and parade him in front of me

Kueeeeeeek!

It seemed to be complaining about being woken up and having to walk around but it served as a beacon of light to all the termites ahead. Instantly their rage overcame their fear and they rushed forward.

"Corpse Explosion! Corpse Explosion! Corpse Explosion!"
