Danmachi: Captured by Freya at the Beginning!

Chapter 72: Ethan Encounters Pass Parade!

After being surrounded by a swarm of killer ants, even weaker level 2 adventurers would likely suffer.

"Hm? There's someone ahead."

"We're lucky, let's quickly move past that person."

"Isn't this bad?"

"What's wrong with that? Would you rather die in his place?"

"..."

The so-called 'kindness' often exists only when one's own safety isn't at stake.

When real danger arises, the vast majority of people will become the most selfish.

To survive, they will do whatever it takes, let alone using others as a scapegoat; they would not hesitate to even murder some innocent guy.

At this time, Ethan also noticed a group of people with dark skin, each dressed in revealing attire and with good figures, only their dusty appearance made them less appealing.

And he recognized them; amazoness race, like dark-skinned girls from his previous life.

Orario also has a significant population of this race.

"What a handsome young man, under normal circumstances, I might have spent a night with you for free, but now, well, I'm afraid we can only wrong you."

The leading woman of the Amazoness race said this to Ethan.

Her three companions, looking at Ethan, all wore expressions of 'pity' on their faces.

Such a handsome man, if it was other times, they would usually be very greedy, even if it meant giving away their service for free, but under the current circumstances, they didn't have time to waste.

'Shah shah shah—'

A loud rustling sound arose, and behind the group of Amazoness women, a dense swarm of killer ants surged forward.

Seeing this, Ethan began to wonder what these people had done to stir up the killer ants' nest.

Observing the situation, it was clear that the monsters had emerged in full force.

"We're sorry, handsome, but we have no choice," The Amazoness woman said to Ethan as she quickly approached.

Ethan was no fool; he naturally understood that the other party was trying to divert the danger towards him.

And such an act, in Orario, was also known as 'Pass Parade'.

This is a tactic used by adventurers in the dungeon; when retreating, they lead the monsters chasing them to another adventurer's location, to attract the monsters' attention so they can escape.

Although the unwritten rules of the dungeon state not to interfere with other adventurers' actions, in a crisis situation, some teams will also use such despicable tactics to survive.

Although such behavior is very despicable, in the face of real life-threatening danger, honor and shame are no longer important.

Glancing at the approaching swarm of killer ants and then at the quickly departing amazoness team.

Ethan's expression instantly turned cold; well, he really hadn't expected that one day, he too would be used as a scapegoat by others.

'Shah~ Shah~'

The sound of some type of insects moving rapidly approached; the swarm of killer ants was now close at hand.

Killer ants are monsters; in their cognition, all humans are enemies, so, even though Ethan was not the one who provoked them, they would still attack him.

'Swish—'

"Projection, begin—"

Accompanied by Ethan's words, a sword was projected beside him.

"Broken Phantasm—"

'Boom—'

The next second, the newly projected sword was used by him like a 'hand grenade,' thrown out and directly detonated.

Although this was also 'Broken Phantasm,' it was probably the lowest level.

But, to deal with the current situation, it was absolutely sufficient.

'Boom boom boom—'

The entire cavern began to collapse in the violent explosion.

Broken Phantasm, directly detonating the projected weapon, the destructive power caused was not small.

The already not so wide cavern directly collapsed because of this explosion.

And this directly blocked the advancing route of these killer ants.

This was not to imply that Ethan couldn't handle the killer ants, but rather than fighting these monsters, he was seeking the real instigator to 'return the favor'.

They had subjected him to a 'Pass Parade', so he intended to reciprocate with a significant 'gift'.
