Synopsis

The chapter opens with a crisis: a huge ant nest is about to breach the surface. The protagonist, Lloyd, opts for a risky plan to dig through the nest itself, using a summoned creature named Bangul, who produces dung to aid with excavation, and his newly learned skills. As they tunnel, Lloyd's group utilizes a tunneling shield and Bangul's unique abilities, greatly speeding up the process, but as they reach their goal a mysterious, uncharted hole appears, creating a new challenge.
