’Now that I have accomplished my task... should I leave this den?’ Max pondered silently, his steps slowing as he stood in the faintly glowing tunnel.

Chief Igris’s words echoed in his mind clearly. There was nothing else of value within the den except for the Holy Nectar, and he had already filled his bottle up to level nine. Staying here longer would serve no purpose.

The bottle of Holy Nectar inside his dimensional space pulsed faintly, its light dimly visible through the spatial space. A small smile touched his lips. The task was complete, and his goal was achieved.

"I suppose it’s time to head back," he murmured quietly.

The tunnels stretched endlessly ahead in the secret chamber, dimly illuminated by faint bioluminescent veins running along the walls. The low hum of underground vibrations reverberated faintly through the air.

’The tunnel I came from wouldn’t lead to exit so...’ He started walking towards one of the tunnels opposite to the one he came in here.

As he moved forward, the passage split several times, leading into narrow tunnels that twisted and turned in countless directions. His Three Dimensional Body spread out again, mapping everything within a wide radius.

The complex structure of this place was like a labyrinth—designed by nature itself to confuse and trap. But Max had no intention of wandering aimlessly. He followed the faintest trace of air movement, the subtle shift in temperature that suggested a path leading upward.

Half an hour passed in silence. The only sound was his footsteps and the faint hum of mana coursing through the stone walls. Just as he turned around a curve, his entire body froze.

A sound—faint at first—reached his ears. A deep, guttural clicking, heavy and rhythmic, echoing faintly from the tunnel ahead. The vibration in the air shifted instantly. His Three Dimensional Body extended again, faster this time, and within seconds, his heart sank.

A massive shadow crawled across the ceiling far ahead. The familiar, towering form moved with slow, deliberate grace, and the sound of sharp, serrated limbs scraping against stone filled the air.

It was the Divine Rank Devouring Ant.

’Not again,’ Max thought, his eyes narrowing. He immediately suppressed his aura and activated his Invisibility Technique, blending into the darkness. His breathing slowed as he took a single step backward.

But the ant’s head suddenly turned, and its compound eyes—massive and pitch-black—seemed to scan through the tunnel. The faintest ripple of mana trembled through the air.

’It sensed me.’

Without hesitation, Max’s body flared with blue lightning. The narrow tunnel burst into flashes of light as he propelled himself backward at terrifying speed. The sound of the ant’s pursuit followed immediately after—a thunderous vibration shaking the very walls as it gave chase.

The ground cracked beneath his feet as he ran. Each beat of his heart seemed to synchronize with the sound of the creature’s monstrous movement. Its massive form tore through the tunnel, crushing walls and ceiling alike.

’This thing doesn’t stop!’ Max cursed inwardly as he pushed more power into his Storm King’s Inheritance – Extreme Speed technique. Red lightning intertwined with blue, crackling across his body as he dashed forward at blinding speed. The tunnel blurred around him.

He took a sharp turn into another corridor, trying to lose it, but the ant followed without pause, its enormous body ripping through the stone as if the walls were paper. The sound of its chittering cries echoed violently, a terrible screech that made the air itself tremble.

He activated Space Distortion and used Smash Portal, tearing open a small rift in the tunnel and slipping through. The space folded behind him, sealing the gap. He appeared in another section of the den—only to hear the familiar clicking sound again.

It had followed him.

"Are you kidding me?" Max muttered, his tone sharp as he broke into another sprint. His lightning illuminated the darkness in rapid flashes, shadows stretching across the walls as he moved faster than thought.

He turned, dashed, and teleported through narrow pathways. Yet no matter how much distance he created, the ant always found him. Its presence felt like a nightmare clinging to his back—relentless and merciless.

At one point, the tunnel opened into a massive chamber filled with the cracked husks of other ants, likely victims of infighting. The exit was visible on the far side, a faint shaft of light descending from above. Hope flickered within him.

’That must be the exit,’ he thought, his eyes locking onto it.

The Divine Rank ant roared behind him, its shriek deafening as it crashed into the chamber, destroying everything in its path. Shards of stone rained down like hail. Max didn’t waste another second.

He poured every ounce of energy he had into his movement. Blue lightning flared from his feet as he darted forward. The air around him distorted as he merged Extreme Speed with One Mile Step, transforming his figure into a streak of light.

The ground shattered under his feet as he ran. The ant lunged forward, its massive mandibles slamming shut just inches behind him. The shockwave from its attack threw him forward even faster.

’Almost there!’ he thought, his eyes narrowing as the light grew brighter.

One last pulse of lightning erupted from his body as he leapt upward, reaching the faint opening in the ceiling. He summoned his Space Distortion once more, twisting the air and using it to propel himself through the narrow gap.

The instant he passed through, the crushing pressure vanished. The tunnel collapsed behind him, sealing the path.

Max landed roughly on the ground outside the den, rolling twice before coming to a stop. He exhaled heavily, his heart still pounding from the chase. The warm, violet wasteland air hit his face, and he looked back at the sealed entrance.

The faint sound of clicking echoed one last time before it faded completely.

Max let out a long breath and straightened up, brushing the dust from his arms. "Persistent bastard," he muttered, glancing at the closed tunnel one more time.

The danger was gone. The task was complete. And now, he was finally free of the den.
