Chapter 125 - The Battle Inside The Royal Palace (1/2)

I almost choked when I read the penalty if I failed. That is an insane penalty and that applies to my quests line only! Not only that, the reputation of the Queen that I just earned will also disappear and will be negative, which is already akin to a hostile relationship with her!

Also, as someone who has experienced fighting against her, she is one hell of an annoying enemy. She can keep her distance from you and still keep you busy throughout the fight like nothing. Aside from that, her skills are all able to do defense break and deal true damage so if you are someone with high defense and can almost handle usual attacks due to your high defenses, the Queen will just shred it to pieces and beat you up.

And since I am fighting against her and the knights, I have to ask Atlas for some help in this one.

I opened my summoning tab to summon Atlas out, only to see the following message when I try to do so.

[Unavailable during the Quest Duration]

Not only on Atlas but on Leona's summoning page too.

”Oh, I almost forgot, you cannot summon anyone to help you out on this one. If you have pets or companions, they have to sit this battle out.”

My chances of winning this battle are now lower since I can't use my summons to deal with the mobs while I focus on Queen Tanya. However, it is not impossible to win this, but it is very hard to achieve. I am on my own in this battle.

Queen Tanya flicks her fingers and a scepter materializes on her hands. Once it completes solidifying, she taps the ground using the staff twice, creating a three-circle magic circle beneath it.

Once she did all of those, countless magic circles appeared on the ground and several types of heavily armed soldiers pop out of nowhere. She waves her wand one more time and observers, eyeball creatures that act as a video camera in this world appeared above us.

”It would be exciting for my people to see what is happening right now right? This will give them some insight on how strong the Pioneer is!”

Ugh, great. I didn't think her attitude to film many things using the Observer will be activated in our fight. If I lose in this battle, not only my friendship with Queen Tanya plummet, the attitude of the NPCs might also change.

”Survive Pioneer and we will lend our aid to the battle!”

Since I can't summon anyone and my necromancy skills are not practical in this place since there are no dead people or monsters to use, I am going to be alone in this battle.

Lancers with shields started charging towards my location and they pointed their spears at me.

”Ice Prison!”

BAM!

Their legs froze allowing me to gain the advantage of it and changed my weapon to a dual gun. They were not frozen completely since they have frozen debuff resistance. They just got frozen in their legs but that is not enough to hold them for long.

Pulling the trigger, bullets rained down on the first lancer's head, only for the HP of the enemy to fell a tiny fraction of it. I am not surprised that they can withstand attacks like that, their armor is quite strong to deal with so they are not something you can just handle.
