Chapter 356: Catch the Moth
Brimming with energy, filling his every cell, Miles charged once again. The queen was still dumbfounded. It was the first time anyone blocked her deadliest attack. For a short duration, it seemed like it was stunned.
Miles was attacked by many lightning attacks by now, and the armor was filled with elemental energy too. The golden lines all over the armor were shining with blinding lights. With a single command of him, the energy would be unleashed, but Miles was waiting. The queen hasnt used its ultimate yet, and he didnt know what type of ultimate she had. So, he waited.
The queen shook the dizziness off and looked at Miles with hatred. Its exoskeleton was caved in many places, there were some scars on her body but what caused it to be pissed off most was its energy. It used its deadliest attack and it took a toll on it, now it didnt have too much energy.
Before Miles could approach, the queen screamed with everything it had. Miles knew it wasnt good from the emotions the scream was carrying. Although it didnt mean it, the queen used energy thus Miles was able to pick the meaning of the scream.
It summoned its underlings! Miles cried out in panic. He wasnt sure if he should be running away or killing it before the others came. Before he could decide, a lightning discharge spread out from the queen. It covered a ten-meter radius and locked Miles inside.Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com
Cancel the barrier, you idiot! Miles shouted in monster language but to no avail. The queen ant was too raged to think logically. If it had canceled her own ultimate, the gas would dissipate into the atmosphere.
Damn it! Miles shouted as he jumped. The queen attacked like a berserk and wanted nothing more than to kill Miles. Luckily, because of the anger, its moves were much more predictable. Miles could lead it anywhere he wanted, so he made use of the footwork and let the queen enter the poisonous area as much as he could. At the same time, he constantly used wind energy to protect himself. Although it would cost him some energy, he could create a wind barrier around him but at the moment, he still didnt need it, and it was better for him to use the wind to push the poisonous gas away from time to time.
Vibrations are increasing. Ants are close. Coin warned him, but Miles couldnt worry about it for the time being. He didnt know how ants were still coming when the poisonous gas filled the hole, but he had no time to ponder over it. He kept on attacking and retreating.
But soon, small heads appeared on the hole one after another. Tens of ants crawled out from the anthill and started to surround him. Although all of them had green spots on their exoskeletons proving that they were poisoned, it still was dangerous for Miles. Now that he was surrounded, he couldnt kite the queen towards the poison and it was more resilient than he thought as it was still fine despite inhaling large amounts of poison.
My ultimate is still weak. He snorted as he looked around. He was trapped in a small circle. From ground to air he had 10 meters, he could jump but some of the ants could fly. He had two elements while ants only had the lightning element. I am screwed.
While Miles was wallowing in self-pity, bird cries filled his ear. He looked above but failed to see anything due to the lightning barrier closing the area. But in the next second, something amazing happened. A giant sword of wind cut the barrier from above. From the opening, Miles saw tens of birds floating outside of the barrier, looking inside in rage.
