Chapter 449: The End of Fate
『Partner, how’s it looking?』
I ask my partner as she checks behind.
『It’s no good. It’s getting closer! What do we do? The next one is coming soon!』
She replies, a slight reproach to her voice.
Damn it, what do I do? What can we do? Should I try attacking it as soon as I see an opening? Now that its HP has halved, my chances of somehow miraculously being able to kill it might be better than my chances of managing to stay away from it for several minutes on end.
N-no, I shouldn’t become desperate. Challenging it would be like an insect jumping into a flame. There’s a limit to recklessness.
Bit-by-bit, the ruin closes the distance.
『Hey! The next one is coming!』
There’s no knowing where it is aiming. If I try slowing down to dodge, it'll catch up to me. If I dodge to the left or right, I might fly straight into the [Ruin] and die. If only my [Telepathy] skill was as good as the queen red ant’s, I could have read its aim!
