’Shit!’ I cursed. I would need to use every bit of my strength to kill them. There is going to be more than one. I looked at the queen. I have been working on it slowly, but now I have no choice. I will have to do it even if the strings have covered only 78% of its body. I didn’t think further and pulled the strings just as it appeared behind Prime Vratis. CLANNNNG! I could see he noticed the change, but it didn’t stop him, and he attacked, and for the first time, the queen defended. It shocked all of them. However, the one who is most shocked is the queen. It might not have eyes or facial expressions, but I could feel its shock. Still, it reacted fast and appeared in front of the Prime Stonepike. It was moving to attack when it saw Prime Stonepike attack coming toward it. It is not as fast as it was before, making it easier to track. It could not appear as the ghost as it was doing all the battle. It wasn’t just its speed but also the mist that was helping it. It is why my strings are releasing the energy taken from them. Making it easier to track. ’DRRRRRR…’ It released a soul attack, appearing behind the Prime Botus, but it was also much weaker than before. My strings have dampened its effects. Though, I had to bear some brunt of it, like I am doing with energy. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦 It is making my head hurt terribly. I am also bearing the pressure from its energy, which is attacking my strings madly. Formations are helping, but given their power, some of it is coming at me. My soul, body, and armor are under immense pressure, and now that pressure is going to increase even further. The most powerful of the drones appeared in front of me. It is powerful, more than High-Prime. It had taken a half-step, nearly full step into the Peak Prime. It is bigger than all the drones and stronger. Its skin is also different than others. A deep red, which made me relieved in this horror. Because this means it’s the strongest kind of drone, the queen has. Their numbers wouldn’t be as high as the other drones, but enough to finish the job. That is why I am now trying to wrap the queen in strings as fast as I can. It is a priority, and very glad. It had to provide a second layer of protection to my strings with its strong soul power. The primes aren’t idiots. They understand something had happened to the queen to affect its strength as such, and they are trying to find out. I had worked really hard on design formation in this inheritance. That could make it invisible to laws, but nothing perfect. That is why I am really glad, there is thick soul energy and its energy around it, which it is using to destroy my string. They are under very high pressure, but not enough that they would split apart. Though, it’s close. CLANNNNG! The blade of the drone clashed against my shield. Taking me up to down, making me take a step back. Puh Puch! I vomited the blood and defended another attack. Taking another step back while my two swords kill the other drones that are coming at me. It alone is terrifying. I have also had to deal with the other drones simultaneously. CLANNNNG! It attacked a third time, and this time, I had not only shaken me, but also made me vomit. However, that didn’t stop me from attacking it. CLANNNNG CLANNNNG CLANNNNG! It defended before attacking me again and then again before defending against my attack. It is the strongest opponent I have ever fought, and I am glad. It is only the drone I am fighting. If it had been a person with such power, even with a middling-level combat style, I would have been terrible. It’s true that the queen is controlling them, and they are learning, but there are thousands of them, and right now, the queen is focused more on itself than its drone. CLANNNNG! It had defended once more its attack and attacked it. It defended, when the second sword went at it. CLANNNG CLANNNG! As it did, it felt some attack undefended, landing on my body, shaking, breaking my bones, but not piercing my armor. This time, I made it really strong, and it’s not a single layer. CLANNNNG! It defended the second sword when the third went at it. Puch! It moved to defend it, but it avoided its blade and pierced through its head before pulling it into my core. I didn’t have a moment to celebrate victory as my sword moved to kill the drones around me. At the same time, powerful formations lit up, and their energies spread into me. Healing me. Mending my broken bones. It was close, and the worst thing is, more are coming. Three more are coming in my direction. Two. Prime Ora killed one. ’Thank you, Prime,’ I thanked her immediately, and she only grunted and attacked the queen that appeared in front of her. It is because of the group leaders that no one died by these most powerful drones. They have killed. I had readied myself for the two. My strength is at the limit, but there are a few cards. I haven’t played. They will help, but I need to use them wisely, once I use them, they will know. Soon, they reached me and attacked. CLANNNNG CLANNNNG CLANNNNG! Their weapons clashed against my shields while three of my swords killed the drones around me before my sword went for the attack, but the drones defended and attacked me. I defended their attacks with my shields and killed the drones that came at them before attacking them. I need to keep the killing drones or they will reach. Attacks of some are still hiding, but it would be terrible if the attacks of all began to hit me. CLANNNNG CLANNNNG CLANNNNG! I attacked and defended. The bastards aren’t giving me a single opportunity at them. Two are making things much more difficult, and I was about to use one of my moves when suddenly a smile appeared on my face. My strings finished wrapping the queen fully. Without hesitation, I activated the most powerful formation on them. At the same time, I tightened the strings as much as I could. It’s time for the queen to die.
