Chapter 805 Fighting The Ant Queen
-----
"KRIEEEEEHHHH!!!"
The Tier 8 Monster finally showed herself. However, despite her sluggish appearance and weakened state, she wasn't something we could take lightly. Her aura continued spreading around, as her Miasmic Magic suddenly targeted the hundreds of Abyssal Miasmic Ant corpses in the floor.
FLUOOOSH!
And then, the miasma imbued itself into their corpses, rising them as undead! Yes, the ants began raising back from death, groaning and cracking their mandibles, even in the terrible state their bodies were.
Ding!
[The [Abyssal Miasmic Ant Queen (Tier 8: Rank 1)] has activated her [Restless Subjects] Ability! Several of the fallen Ants within her Colony had been risen as Undead through her Miasmic Aura powers, and more will continue to rise as long as she's alive!]
Her ability allowed her to just turn her dead soldiers into Undead! This was insane, we had yet to fight such a shamelessly strong opponent.
However… doesn't she rely too much on her subjects?
"She's raising them as Undead?!" Zack was surprised.
"That thing has to be stopped or we'll be swarmed all over again!" Celeste said.
"I agree." Aquarina said. "Sylphy, we're ready when you are!"
"Alright, let's do this then!" I smiled. "Surround that thing! Zack, Aquarina, go all out with your strongest magic, Celica, Celeste, weaken it with curses! Mist, buff us and purify the Undead! My Familiars are going to give you a hand!" I commanded.
The rest of my Familiars were all summoned, Alice, Curse, Beelzebub, Furoh, Violet, Glutton, and Brownie. Alice conjured powerful rays of holy light and divine light from her body, purifying the undead ants by the dozens at a time. Curse weakened theme even more, while restraining their movements.
Beelzebub used his corrosive poison to melt their legs and stop their movements. Brownie dug the earth and conjured sharp spears made of rock to attack and make the ants fall into pitfalls. Gluttony tore apart anything and ate them whole. Violet used her slimy body to do something similar, consuming the ants like snacks. And Furoh shapeshifted into different forms, acting as Mist's major guardian.
"Take this!" Aquarina roared, summoning a giant trident out of water, and then freezing it, creating a powerful frozen trident emanating divine power. "[Divine Frozen Poseidon's Trident]!"
The trident flashed across the air and reached the Ant Queen in a second, piercing her abdomen rather fiercely, and beginning to freeze her deadly wound rapidly.
"KRIEEEEHHH! SHAAAHHH!!!"
She angrily roared, suddenly opening her mandibles, and charging Mana into them, and then… unleashing a gigantic beam of pure Miasmic Energy!
"Careful!"
BOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
I quickly protected Aquarina by using my Blazing Sunshine Ward Skill, which worked the most when I was unleashing my Sunshine form. The barrier resisted for a few seconds, giving me the time to retreat with Aquarina.
CRASH!
However, the barrier quickly broke down as the Ant Queen stopped her powerful attack, suddenly gasping for air and taking a small break… I guess she can't do that destructive blow all the time.
To think it destroyed my Blazing Sunshine War after just five seconds though. That beam wasn't just darkness, it is the element of Chaos, capable of disrupting all other magical elements and melt them away!
I've heard from my mother that not even her strongest barriers back then could completely resist the Chaos Magic that the Demon King wielded masterfully, which seemed to simply melt all her magic.
Even more, his body was said to always be coated on Chaos Energy, so any magic attack sent at him would simply be dispelled and disappear. And it seems this Ant can do something similar, as Aquarina's trident quickly began to melt away, although the wound was still there.
The Ant Queen most likely has a much lower-level Chaos Barrier, but a strong one, nonetheless.
"That bitch took my trident pretty fine!" Aquarina said in surprise.
"Yeah, even my divine flames of purification couldn't break through the defenses it has." I sighed. "We'll have to try out something more extreme! Zack, Luck, come here and distract the bug!"
"Alright!" Zack nodded.
"Me?!" Luck felt surprised. "But I am…"
"Come on man, just do it! I'll cover your back!" Zack smiled, dragging Luck along.
Zack quickly began, firing lightning strikes, slicing wind gusts, and cutting axe attacks using his powerful axe and magic at the same time.
Meanwhile, Luck unleashed slashing attacks with his sharp claws. The two boys fiercely covered the beast with scratches and small wounds, the queen grew irritated.
"GRRRHHH!" She Queen quickly began firing several small Chaos beams at them, piercing through the ground and leaving giant holes behind each explosion.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Damn! Sylphy didn't lie, this thing has insane defenses! Whenever my magic hits this thing, it feels like it just disappears while barely doing any damage!" Zack was surprised. "Is this the gap between our strength and Tier 8 monsters?! They're really in another level…"
"And that's what you say… My attacks are not even scratching the thing's exoskeleton unlike yours!" Luck sighed, feeling desperate.
"SHAAAAAHHH!!!"
Annoyed, the Ant Queen quickly opened her jaws once more, unleashing yet another Chaos Beam at full power.
TRUUUUUMMMMM….!
"Careful!" Zack used his lightning magic to hasten his speed to insanely fast levels, grabbing Luck and flying into the skies.
"SHAAAAHHH!!!!"
The Ant Queen continued firing the beam, moving it around and devastating anything in her path. The rest of my friends were barely able to evade her attacks. Celeste and Celica's debuff were also being almost cancelled by her Chaos Barrier.
I guess the only thing we can do is plan B, go all-out!
"Aquarina! Do it!" I said.
"Alright!" Aquarina nodded.
FLAAAASH!
The two of us quickly transformed. Aquarina combined the power of her own Draconification with her Abyssal Embodiment transformation. Her body quickly became pure black, as if she became the embodiment of the pure black abyss, the void itself.
Then, black scales grew across her body, and big dragon wings and a tail, sharp draconic claws, melded with her abyssal embodiment created the form of a devilish, demon-like dark dragon girl, with only two sharp dragon-like pure red eyes…
The power she exuded was incredible.
