Chapter 196 The End Of Battle
20 Arachnid Bees versus 8 monsters. The amount is very unbalanced, coupled with Moku's current state of being badly injured and lacking dragon prana, the situation becomes one-sided. Even so, the monsters gripped their weapons tightly and stared fearlessly at the arachnid bees in the air.
Based on Lesnen's previous research, the Quadruple Arachnids should have lost control after the Arachnid Queen was killed. But Lesnen never thought that the hive mind of the Arachnid Bee would have a different connection than the other Quadruple Arachnid.
Even for the Arachnid Queen to control an army of Arachnid Bees which are all mutated animals, requires more energy than an ordinary Quadruple Arachnid. So to lessen the burden the Arachnid Queen divided the control over the Platinum Tier Danger Arachnid Bee.
As a result, even if the Arachnid Queen is killed or disconnected from the arachnid bee troops, the arachnid bee troops will not be out of control. Because even if he don't have a Hive Mind Mana Organ like the Arachnid Queen, the Platinum Tier Danger Arachnid Bee will still be able to control the arachnid bee troops for a while. Until the connection with the Arachnid Queen's hive mind was reconnected.
So for now, the monsters don't need to defeat all the arachnid bees, they only need to kill the Platinum Tier Danger Arachnid Bee. Moku understands this, even though his body is covered in wounds, his inner eye can sense if the arachnid bees are on the verge of control.
Moku doesn't know when the arachnid bee's control broke from the Platinum Tier Danger Arachnid Bee. But he knew that currently, the other arachnid bees had become even weaker than before.
Their ability to carry out battle coordination and formations would likely be drastically reduced.
If that's the case then the current fighting strength of arachnid bees is far worse than that of ordinary mutated animals. Because arachnid bees are artificial mutated animals, they cannot be classified as born-to be-strong or weak-to-be-strong mutated animals.
The Arachnid bee and the other Quadruple Arachnid were simply manifestations of the Arachnid Queen's power. Without the help of the Arachnid Queen's hive mind, they are just mutated insects whose strength is far below mutated animals with equal tier danger.
However, the existence of the Platinum Tier Danger Arachnid Bee would harm monsters other than Moku. With his speed and strength no one will be able to survive his attack. Because of that Moku had to endure it alone.
To replenish his dragon prana, Moku eats a golden tier danger arachnid bee. Currently, there is only one golden tier arachnid bee left.
The golden tier danger arachnid bee must be blocked by Boku and Goku. But the problem is, the other remaining arachnid bees have stronger powers than the Valkyrie Squad.
Because of that, this fight is not to kill all the arachnid bees, but to survive until the Platinum Tier Danger Arachnid Bee's control over the arachnid bees is released.
Moku explained this plan quickly via telepathy. All the monsters nodded and got ready.
"SKREEEEEEKKKK!!!!!!"
The new battle started with a loud scream from the Platinum Tier Danger Arachnid Bee. With her wings fully flapped she started charging followed by another arachnid bee.
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!"
Simultaneously, Moku went to attack with a body covered in golden biofield. The monsters behind him fearlessly followed him into the fierce battle.
The Platinum Tier Danger Arachnid Bee's claw glowed, swinging with the mana it contained. Moku with one hand caught the claw, and his fully active inner eye read the trajectory of the attack quickly.
"AAAHHH!!" with all his might Moku threw the Platinum Tier Danger Arachnid Bee away from the others.
*CLANG!!
Boku and Goku confront the golden tier danger arachnid bee. The Arachnid Mandible Claymore and Arachnid Claw Toya shining in their hands repelled the attack from the Golden Tier Danger Arachnid Bee simultaneously. With the cooperation of the two asuras, they can match Golden Tier Danger Arachnid Bee and even surpass it.
Meanwhile the valkyrie squad is attacked by a swarm of silver tier danger arachnid bees. Even though they were outnumbered, Nevare and the women did not flinch.
The white tiger Nerphyl's body was raging in the middle of the battle. Dozens of slash wounds started to form all over her white fur and blood started to stain the ground where she stood but Nerphyl didn't back down in the slightest. As if she knew no pain, Nerphyl used her body as a shield to protect the women behind her.
? *ZZTAZSSSS! f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚
The lightning shot scorched the arachnid bees that were flying in swarms. Like a blade of light cutting through the darkness, Nevare sped through the crowd of arachnid bees that had swarmed over Nerphyl.
Although the lightning blade was unable to cut through the silver tier danger arachnid's body with a single slash, it was enough to temporarily immobilize the insects. Just enough time for Nerphyl to catch her breath and for the valkyries to show what they are capable of.
Nezena arrived from behind with a body emitting green light. Although right now she is still unable to control the mana outside her body, she is still able to control the mana inside her body.
The mana color that is always in the body of a wood elf. Which is able to control the charcoal substance or better known in the Moku world as carbon.
Nezena realized this after following the Tagak footwork practice taught by Nevare. She sensed the movement of mana in each Tagak footwork step pattern.
By learning mana movements within her body, Nezena is gradually able to control this mana and form new pathways that have never existed in wood elves before.
Healing Path.
By using the mana in her body, Nezena is able to replace the destroyed cells in the body she touches. But this is not without cost, besides mana being drained quickly, Nezena also has to pay for the tissue she heals with her own.
The wound on the body of the person she healed did not disappear but moved to her own body. However, Nezena didn't need to worry about that, because she was an orc. Unlike Nerphyl, who came from a sylph, Nezena has the ability to regenerate like an orc.
After all, the more wounds Nezena receives, the faster her transformation process into a valkyrie will be. So she doesn't have to worry about the wounds on her body.
Nezena's hand touched the wounded body of the white tiger Nerphyl. In a matter of seconds, Nerphyl's body recovered as before but as a result Nezena's body was now covered in wounds and blood.
"Guhh!" Nezena winced in pain and sat up.
"Thanks Sister"
Nerphyl nodded and returned to the battle to help Nevare who was starting to get tired of the arachnid bee attacks.
Vivi and Claire back-on-back facing attack after attack from the arachnid bees.
They both knew that their strength was still not enough to support Nerphyl and Nevare at the front. They also don't have healing powers like Nezena can help from the back.
Therefore the duty of the two of them right now was not to fight but not to become a burden to their sisters who were fighting. Vivi and Claire also don't want to be a hindrance to their husbands who are currently facing a formidable enemy.
So the most important task for them right now is to survive this situation. 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m
*Clang! *Clang! *Clang! *Clang!
The sound of metal clashing filled the battlefield. Boku and Goku continued to push their attacks and succeeded in cornering the golden tier danger arachnid bee. Even so they couldn't get out without wounds covering their bodies.
In order to make their attacks more lethal Boku and Goku focused their dragon prana into the Organ Mana Weapon. As a result they do not have time to heal their own wounds.
*Slash!
"urgh!"
Goku's shoulder was torn but the result of his sacrifice gave Boku the opportunity to cut off Golden Tier Danger Arachnid Bee's wings.
*Brak!
Without its wings, the fighting ability of Golden Tier Danger Arachnid Bee is only half. Coupled with Platinum Tier Danger Arachnid Bee's hive mind control which decreases over time, Goku and Boku can easily defeat their enemies.
*Clang! *SLASH!
Boku parried Golden Tier Danger Arachnid Bee's attack and Goku who jumped from behind stabbed Arachnid Claw Toya into his enemy's throat.
"Huft!" "Huft!" "Huft!" "Huft!"
"We have to help the valkyrie squad... Huft!... Huft!" said Boku breathlessly.
Goku could only nod in response. The two of them carried their tired bodies towards where the valkyrie squad was fighting. If after this they are still alive and have power then they will help Moku in his fight.
With the release of Platinum Tier Danger Arachnid Bee's hive mind control against other arachnid bees, the fighting power of the arachnid bee will also decrease. Even so, they are still formidable opponents and cannot be underestimated.
Right now they only hope that Moku can hold off the platinum tier danger arachnid bee until they come to help.
