"We had reached the queen. Prepare for the battle," ordered Prime Ora. We moved immediately as we heard the command. Immediately, we separated into four groups. Each group is led by the most powerful Prime. Then there would be Primes like me middle-level power and the last would be the weakest, like Ivas. All three will have separate duties. The most powerful Primes, will fight the queen. The High-Primes, like me, will fight anything that moves to stop the most powerful from targeting the queens, The last would be Ivas and others. They would remain outside; their job would be controlling the formation. The thick mist is occupying three square miles of area. It is not big, but it is very troublesome, given the sensory suppressions. I could see through it, even when suppression. Others can’t, including the peak Primes. It will make things dangerous, but give someone like me the opportunity. Though, I haven’t decided whether I would take the opportunity. It didn’t take us long for us to reach our designated places. ’First staff down!’ I heard in my mind. ’Second staff down!’ said another person. "Third staff down," said Ivas beside me and buried beautiful staff with a malachite gem top on the ground. Buzz! As the fourth staff went down. The staff lit up, and thick energy came out of it. First, the energies of the staff connected with each other before they spread, forming a dome. Immediately, I could see the mist moving to suppress it, but it was able to bear it. As it stabilized. Small energy rings are released from it. One came toward me and wrapped my index finger. From them, it spread over my body, covering me fully. I would rather not get covered, but here, I don’t have a choice. If I resist, it might be suspicious. I could blame it on runes, but if I survive. It will restrict my options for the future. So, despite not liking it, I decided to bear it. "It’s quite a powerful artifact," I praised. "It is, but given the suppression, which is going to increase. It will not be going to a. "Its time!" said Prime Vratis. A moment later, all four groups entered the thick mist. Feeling its powerful suppressions on our soul and visual powers. The mist is thick. So thick that we couldn’t even see ourselves. I activated all my eye abilities. My clones had been able to make enough adjustments that I could see everything clearly in a two-hundred-meter radius. It’s not as good as the soul sense, but it is necessary. This will help me tremendously. Prime Ora, too, had activated her abilities. She had been hiding a lot. Her law power was stronger than she had let on. It is very close to the Peak of Basic. This means she could claw someone like Carter for breakfast. He is no match for her. Neither am I. It made me relieved. Such power would help us a lot. Others were also hiding their powers, but not as much as hers. Which is kind of disappointing. Others would be close to her in comprehension of the law. Discover exclusive tales on empire "DRRRR…" We had reached the halfway when the queen. Standing alone in the center lets out a scream, and it’s not a normal scream but a scream filled with the power of the soul. It’s a soul attack at the level of Peak Prime. ’I hope you both will be able to bear it,’ said the Prime Ora before the soul attack reached us. The protected layer had absorbed some of it, but the rest came at me. Passed through the defenses of the artifact, which took some of its power, but it struck my armor. It is powerful. My armor flared in power, but it wasn’t able to stop all of it, and some of it hit my soul. "Fuck!" I cursed loudly as I felt someone attacking my soul with the cleaver. It is extremely painful, but a pure soul, which is still water, took the attack. Ripple was created, and it spread, getting weaker and weaker until it disappeared. I bore the attack, but it harmed me slightly. Buzz! I immediately activated the soul-soothing formation and turned to the man beside me. He had been brought to his knees, with blood running down from his orifices. ’Rax is dea’ 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞 A broken voice rang through my mind. If I am not wrong, then it is saying, ’Prime Raxel is dead.’ The attack had just killed a High Prime, and I am sure it would injure others like the man beside me. It is the first death of the battle, but it wouldn’t be the last one. "Horyvos, are you fine?" asks Prime Ora. "Barely," he replied with grit and drank potions before getting up. A few seconds later, we moved again with defenses adjusted. Inside me, my clones are moving fast to make the changes. That soul attack was horrifying, and the thing is, it was area-wide as if it had been targeting a single person. It would have been extremely dangerous. It might happen, and I need to prepare for it. I can not die here I need to survive. "DRRRR…" I had just thought about that when it screamed again. Sending that horrifying soul attack. "Fuck!" Horyvos cursed as it hit, but this time. It didn’t make him fall; it had only stopped him for a fraction of a second. These attacks are of pure soul energy. If they had the power of laws, then it would have been terrifying. Laws make everything dangerous. The attack came once more, and this time, we didn’t even stop. We have experienced the attack and are now making adjustments to deal with it better. Everything has different tools to deal with it. Artifacts, methods, and my personal favorite inheritance. It is the greatest advantage of being the host of celestial inheritance. I could adjust my inheritance according to my circumstances. The attacks kept coming, but we kept moving. I am getting a bad feeling that we are walking into the trap. I am pretty sure we are, but there is no choice. We have to get close to the queen to kill it. There is no other way.
