### Chapter 32: Railgun
"A coin?"
The Ant Queen wasn't like those mindless ants. She possessed extremely high intelligence and had acquired a great deal of knowledge from the humans she had eaten.
Including some Magic, like Transformation Magic, which she used to take on a human form.
"If even your lightning is ineffective, what can you do with a coin? Kill him!!"
The Ant Queen smiled disdainfully.
A giant ant rushed in front of Riku, raising its weapon high.
"Ding————!"
Riku flicked the coin up with his thumb, making a crisp sound.
Crackle! Crackle!
Dazzling electric currents appeared on Riku's arm.
"BZZZZT—————!"
An orange beam of light streaked out like a laser. The light and heat generated by the friction between the coin and the air emitted a burnt smell.
BOOM————!
A large hole appeared in the giant ant's chest. Black, blood-like liquid dripped continuously from the hole.
Thud!
The giant ant fell straight to the ground, motionless.
"?!... What happened?! What did you do?!"
Seeing the carefully crafted giant ant actually die, the Ant Queen panicked.
Riku explained: "Railgun. Using the principle of electromagnetic induction, the coin is fired at an initial speed of 3 times the speed of sound. It uses powerful kinetic energy to kill the enemy. In other words, this isn't a Magic attack, but a purely physical attack."
As a transmigrator, Riku naturally considered the possibility of lightning being ineffective, to avoid ending up in a passive situation like Enel.
Actually, there were many methods. He could convert lightning into light and heat, use lightning to break the air to produce supersonic shockwaves, or use electromagnetic force to control weapons.
But the coolest one was definitely Misaka Mikoto's Railgun.
After obtaining the Goro Goro no Mi ability, the move he wanted most was the Railgun.
Over three years, through continuous experimentation and development of the fruit ability, Riku finally successfully replicated this move.
"Impossible! My warriors wouldn't be harmed in the slightest even by the hardest weapons, let alone a tiny coin!"
The Ant Queen didn't believe it at all.
"This involves junior high school physics knowledge, but I have no interest in giving you a lecture."
As Riku spoke, he pulled another coin from his pocket.
"Protect me! Protect me!!"
Seeing this, the Ant Queen screamed in terror. All the giant ants immediately stood in a straight line to block in front of her.
"Ding!"
"BZZZZT——————!"
The orange laser flashed again.
BOOM—————!!
All the giant ants had large holes punched through their bodies.
The Ant Queen looked at this scene in horror. A huge hole appeared in the wall behind her. If she hadn't ducked to the side just now, she would have been killed.
Zzzzt!
Riku's figure appeared instantly in front of the Ant Queen.
The Ant Queen immediately begged for mercy: "Don't... don't kill me! Don't you like money? I can give you gold, silver, and treasures! I can also be your magic pet; you can play with me however you want..."
Slash——!
Riku waved his hand, and a blade of lightning cut directly through the Ant Queen's neck, sending her head flying high.
Her eyes were filled with shock and confusion: "Why... why?"
Aren't human men all greedy and lecherous? Why did this guy attack her without hesitation?
Riku said indifferently: "I'll take the gold, silver, and treasures. As for you, you've birthed so many offspring and want me to be the rebound guy? I hate cheating women the most!"
The Ant Queen was a bit confused, then her expression turned hideous: "If I die, don't expect to live either."
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM————!!!
Countless explosions rang out everywhere in the dungeon. Dense cracks appeared in the great hall, and then it began to collapse continuously. Large rocks fell, obviously intending to bury Riku alive and perish together.
After a long time, the earth calmed down again.
BOOM!
A bolt of lightning drilled out of the ground, transforming into Riku's figure as he landed on the surface.
"Fuck! That bitch was ruthless! My bonus pay!"
Riku was furious. He had worked hard for so long, partly for the generous reward, but also for the even more lucrative bonus pay (loot).
He planned to search slowly after taking her out, but he didn't expect that bitch to be so ruthless and blow up her own home.
"Forget it, let's go find the employer to get the money and leave. If I don't go back soon, my little Mira will get worried."
Although he didn't get the bonus pay, the half-year wasn't without gains. Those ants were excellent sparring partners, even forcing out his limits.
This greatly improved his development of the Goro Goro no Mi.
Soon, Riku arrived in front of the employer, who was also the king of this country.
The king was dumbfounded seeing Riku appear. Having not seen him for half a year, he thought Riku had died long ago like the previous mages. He didn't expect the other party to be alive and to have completed the mission.
The king immediately sent a reconnaissance team to confirm. The reconnaissance team reported that the dungeon had collapsed, and not a single monster from the Ant Kingdom appeared.
The king was instantly in a great mood and happily paid the 120 million Jewels reward.
The Ant Kingdom had put his kingdom in danger of destruction. Over the years, countless soldiers sent to suppress it had become food for the Ant Clan.
He applied to the Magic Council for assistance, but the Knights sent by the Magic Council were also wiped out. The suggestion given was to use Etherion to completely destroy it.
Naturally, he couldn't agree. If Etherion really struck, the Ant Kingdom would be destroyed, but his country would be pretty much finished too.
Now that the Ant Kingdom was destroyed and his country was saved, he was naturally incredibly excited.
He immediately invited Riku to become the Royal Court's Chief Mage, offering generous remuneration and even offering to marry the princess to him. Riku refused directly without even thinking.
