CHAPTER 50

***PHOENIX ROBE CAP &VICE CAP***

Before any of them could close the distance between themselves and the ant trio. Fire balls were shot at them at an astonishing speed. Phane, the captain and Zerk the vice captain set up barriers of flame and earth mid air in order to block the attack. The fire balls exploded after coming in contact with their barriers. After the explosion had died down, they looked around and one of the ant had gone, only two stayed back. The third ant marched deeper into the city leaving its brethren to deal with Phane and Zerk. Chen who had been watching the ant all along followed it deeper into the city, he used his fast speed and brute strength to save people that were in the way of the ant. The ant eventually stopped at a cave. In the cave, several coccons hung from the top of the cave. The ant was about to go in when a huge rock was smashed into its head. The ant shook its head violently, turning itshead around, its eyes were gluedon Chen who took his battle stance. "The chances of me beating this ant is lower than the chance of it killing me". Chen guaged his condition. The ant shrieked, chasing after Chen who jumped from debris to debris, buildings to buildings in order to escape the warth of the ant. Chen suddenly lost track of the ant. He turned around and that exact moment, the pincers of the ant grabbed him. Chen noticed this and stretched both of his arms sideways, stopping the pincers from snapping him in two. Slowly, a fire needle began to form fron the pincers. Obviously, if Chen remained there his body would eventually become riddled with a large hole. He began to rack his brain for a possible solution until a wierd idea popped up in his head. The muscles in his legs got tense, the ground where he stood also caved him, his arm muscles contracted also before the most absurd thing occured. He raised the ant, which was almost ten times his size and *BAM*, he bashed the ant into the ground. This action alone could not kill the ant which was an early stage advanced levelbeast. He threw a fist to the ant, when the fist was about to make contact with the ant, the ant spread out flames around it. Chen jumped back several metres, if those flames touch him, he did not know what would happen to him and he doesn't want to know. The ant suddenly split up into five smaller ants. Chen was beyond shocked at this action but his fighting spirit did not waver, instead the intensity to fight only grew. Few minutes into battle, Chen's body was seen flying towards a wall. He crashed into the wall spitting out a mouthful of blood. His clothes had already been stained red with his blood from earlier. "Damn, this idea of splitting isn't a good one". He thought internally. Right now the only option he had was to run away or get killed by the ants. Chen, who was still embedded into the wall was about to make a decision when *BAM*. One of the splitted ants crashed its hard exterior body into Chen. His eyes almost popped out of his socket at this sudden action and pain.

Meanwhile, the Captain and vicecaptain had taken care of the two ants. They ran across the city looking for the third one. *BAM*, they heard the sound of something crashing into another and ran towards the direction. They found the helpless Chen surrounded by several ants, blood gushing out of his head, red blood stains adorned his clothes, dried blood was stuck at the side of his mouth and he looked tattered. " isn't that the boy Ken brought along?". Phane asked in shock. Zerk nodded in agreement. Both the captain and vice captain engaged into combat with the ant which was obviously the overall leader. The battle took a while but both captains emerged victorious with nothing but a scar on the captain's back. Chen showed his gratitude towards them for saving him and he also told them about the several coccons he saw earlier.
