Chapter 185: Chapter 185: The Aeroraptor Queen(Part 2)
Rione’s eyes widened in alarm as the Aeroraptor Queen shot towards him with immense speed, driving its claws forward as it closed in on him.
He quickly tilted his head across, grimacing as the claws sliced across his right cheek and cut through the middle of his ear, before the Monster swiftly sprang back as he swung his hammer up, evading the swing before snapping open its jaws and firing out a pressurized blast of water.
Rione whipped his hammer across while channeling lightning through it, a burst of steam erupting as he vaporized the water upon impact, before quickly turning his gaze up as the Monster Queen zipped up into the air and unleashed a roaring blast of flames towards him.
He raced away as fast as he could, right in the nick of time as the flames slammed onto the spot where he’d been standing, an intense burst of heat erupting upon impact, before he quickly spun around and raised his hammer up defensively as the Monster Queen came swooping down towards him with immense speed.
A sharp clang rang out as the Monster’s claws collided against the handle of his hammer, before he winced in pain as a deep gash appeared across the top of his left shoulder, as the mutated Aeroraptor shot past him and clawed at his shoulder, blood streaming out and running down his chest.
As the Monster Queen landed behind him, Rione gritted his teeth and turned around while charging lightning into his hammer, thrusting it towards the Monster and unleashing an intense blast of lightning.
The Monster leapt up to evade the attack before unleashing a powerful flap of its wings to launch itself towards Rione, driving its claws forward.
He managed to partially deflect the thrust of its claws with the handle of his hammer, before letting out a stifled cry of pain as the claws plunged into his right shoulder, tearing through his skin and flesh and striking the bone, an agonized shudder erupting across his body.
"Now, you die," Growled the Monster, starting to snap its jaws at Rione’s throat.
Suddenly, it halted and sprang back, wrenching its claws out of his shoulder as a blast of purple flames came roaring towards it, narrowly evading the attack before turning its gaze in the direction the flames had come from as Rione backed away and got some distance, his right arm slumped to his side as blood poured down his arm.
"It’s about time, you guys really cut it close," Rione sighed in relief.
"Sorry for the delay. All the other cities and towns, including the Capital, are under attack by swarms of Aeroraptors," Responded Jules, before turning her attention to the Monster Queen with a grimace.
With her, were Aster, Raven and Tacitus. The other high-ranked Knights were busy dealing with the rest of the Aeroraptors.
"Four more powerful humans, good. I shall devour you all," Declared the Monster Queen, before it shot towards Jules rapidly.
Raven zipped towards Rione to heal him as the other scattered and spread out, Jules swinging her blade and unleashing a devastating blast of flames towards the Monster, who quickly shot up into the air and swooped down towards her with immense speed.
The Monster Queen drove its claws down towards Jules as it closed in on her, who narrowly blocked the attack with her sword, before blowing the Monster away as she compressed and erupted flames out of the blade.
Aster shot towards the Monster Queen at full speed from behind, trying to get it within the range of his Telekinetic Zone.
As he began to close in on it, the Monster froze as it felt the tip of its tail enter his zone, before it quickly flew away as fast as it could, unleashing a barrage of fire blasts at Aster, his Telekinetic Zone blocking the attacks.
"All of these humans are prime prey, and I can sense that they are all weaker than me, but...that one is dangerous, I cannot allow him to get too close. It feels like his Magic is depleting at a steady pace, I should keep my distance from him until it runs out," The Monster thought to itself, before shifting its attention to Tacitus and shot towards him, lightning crackling around its claws.
"[Nullification Zone]," Chanted Tacitus, the Monster’s eyes widening in surprise as the lightning it had generated abruptly faded, before quickly halting and flying back as Tacitus swung his large sword forward with all his strength.
The blade slammed onto the middle of its torso and sent it flying back, a shallow cut forming across its skin, the impact fracturing a few of its ribs.
As it went hurtling out of the range of Tacitus’s Nullification Zone, it began to heal itself, before quickly spinning around as it sensed Raven charging in towards in from behind.
He fired out a pair of rapid, piercing beams from his eyes towards it, the Monster veering across to its left and narrowly evading the attack, before Raven extended out his claws and whipped his arm across at the Monster’s neck as he closed in.
The Monster Queen managed to block the slash with its own claws, before it sent its tail shooting out and grabbed Raven’s left leg, flinging him away with a powerful flick of its tail, before opening its mouth and firing out a scorching blast of flames at him.
Raven swiftly unleashed a roaring wave of purple flames in response, which easily overpowered the Monster’s flames and shot towards it rapidly.
It swerved across to its left, evading the attack before flying up as Aster came charging towards it, getting away from him before quickly weaving across as Jules unleashed a rapid flaming slash up towards it, a frustrated growl ringing out.
Suddenly, it stiffened in alarm as Aster launched himself up towards it with pressurized bursts of telekinesis from the soles of his feet, closing in on it in the blink of an eye.
It flew across to its left as fast as it could, letting out a snarl of pain of as its right arm briefly got caught in the grasp of Aster’s Telekinetic Zone, sharp crunches ringing out as he severely mangled its arm, sprays of blood bursting out as it broke free of the telekinetic grasp before Aster could fully take hold of it.
It fired off several ice needles towards him, before combining water and fire to trigger a cloud of steam in front of itself, before it turned its gaze up in alarm as a fierce volley of purple fireballs came raining down towards it.
Blasts of lightning and telekinesis then came shooting towards it, which it narrowly evaded before swooping down towards Jules, swerving across the air as she unleashed several fire slashes up at it, evading the attacks before snapping its jaws at her as it closed in.
She managed to partially evade it before grimacing as its fangs grazed her right bicep, trickles of blood running down her arm before she fired out a burst of flames from her mouth, blowing it away.
It then flew back up with an irritated growl, its frustration growing.
"On their own, they are weak, but together, they pose a threat. I must kill them one by one."
As Rione fired out a crackling streak of lightning up towards it, it evaded the attack before locking onto Tacitus and swooping down towards him, having assessed him to be the lowest threat among the five humans it was facing.
"That one is strong and can prevent me from using Magic, but he is a bit slower than the others. He should be the easiest one to kill!"
As it closed in on him, he sprang back as he activated his Storage Ring, taking out a Spell Card, before running his Mana through it, a barrier forming in front of him and trapping the Monster Queen.
"Raven, now!" Called out Tacitus, as the Monster Queen pounded on the barrier, deep cracks spreading out.
Raven swooped down and took out a Spell Card, activating it and teleporting himself into the barrier, the Monster stopping attacking the barrier and turning its attention to Raven, the cracks a across the barrier closing up as it repaired itself.
"Hm? What a strange move. They were posing a genuine threat to me as a group, but only one of them is going to fight me now? I do not understand. This one is quite powerful, but he is still weaker than I am. I shall kill and devour him, and I become stronger, I shall go after the rest-..."
"Alright, time to end this. Let’s see how you measure up against this," Remarked Raven, a burst of energy erupting around him as he tranformed, unleashing his Dark Form.
The Monster Queen backed away in alarm as his transformation set off its instincts, its blood running cold.
"Wh-What is this? Is he...really a human? This one is dangerous..."
