Chaos X
Xander intended to use a follow up attack to deal more damage. But before he could, the ant suddenly raised its head and shrieked with the remainder of its jaw.
The sound wasn't just loud, but carried a physical presence, as everything in the vicinity—Xander included—was pushed away from it violently.
Xander flew back over a dozen meters before flipping to mitigate the force. He made sure to retrieve his longsword before he landed.
At this point, the ant's frustration was starring to boil over. Xander didn't check any of its boxes, and the more they fought, the more of a disadvantage it fell into despite dwarfing him in stats.
Hence, like the child that it was, it did the thing almost all living creatures with a sliver of sentience had the instinct to do when they sensed that they were losing.
It flipped the metaphorical game board.
