Chapter 170: [Crystal Mirror] (1/2)

In the room, it was still clouded with a hazy and sharp air.

The banshee queen eyed the hole that the human she kicked made.

She couldn't estimate how far he went. So, she removed her focus from that.

On her chest region, grey blood poured from it. Anytime, it touched the floor, it disappeared.

She tried to heal herself, but, the effects of the human male's attack kicked in.

Coughing blood out rampantly, she fell to her knees and clutched her chest in pain.

Despite the attack not reaching her heart, her heart could feel how close it was to it and went into a stroke.

Not just that, that attack that damaged her was too powerful. She could understand why she was just succumbing too the effect now.

In her torturous pain, the queen found herself coughing a lot of blood at the egg behind her.

To her surprise, the blood did not disappear when it touched the egg.

*Clang!*

Her attention was removed from the egg and brought to the center of the room.

The hazy air had begun dispersing and, while her face and skin burnt under its harshness, she could see two vague figures fighting against each other.

She was already in her weakened state. So, she could not afford to join the battle. She could only hope that her subjects were rushing to her right now!

As she was analyzing, she failed to notice that the egg behind her pulsed in a dark silver energy. It subtly absorbed the queen's blood that fell on it.

...…..

”Sh*t,” cursed Eden.

As he continued fighting with the wraith, he spread his senses around.

He had noticed when Jake got catapulted out of the room. Hence, he also knew that Jake hadn't managed to kill the queen.

It was not his fault though. The latter had probably tried his best. That would also mean the queen was severely injured right now!

Shouting loud, he informed, ”River, claim the bounty, she's injured!”

He already knew that River had covered the room with [Holy Dusts], making it a no-go area for the netherans for the meantime.

Renee was beside him, assisting him to take care of the wraith. So, the dice still fell back to River.

Focusing on the wraith, Eden smiled.

He was lucky that the wraith was severely injured by the bombs he threw. It was barely active right now, and it was immensely unstable, a sign that it was near death.

If not for its body state, Eden knew that he wouldn't be alive right now. The wraith would have killed him, using its elusive speed.

Eden decided to finish off the wraith and join River, ”[Metallio Ver.1]!”

His inky energy coalesced around his body. It materialized in the form of metal sheets that wrapped around his body, making it seem like he wore thick armor.

Only his face was spared from the technique as he has not yet adjusted to a headgear.

Nodding at Renee, who had helped keep the wraith at bay, Eden jumped back into the fight!

............

As soon as she heard Eden's instruction, River ran to the position of the queen so as to not let her recover.

She brought out her chakram from her waist and charged her body with her energy.

Getting closer to the queen, she flung the weapon at her!

As expected, the queen easily dodged it, but River did not give up.

The chakram boomeranged back to her and she infused it with her energy, throwing back at the queen.

The weapon whistled in the air, but it didn't find itself in the queen's body as the other had other moved just in time.

Hiding her left arm from the queen's sight, River murmured something, but the queen didn't care.

She dashed at her attacker but was dumbfounded when she saw her attacker split into two.
