I activated without hesitation as I sensed the most powerful of the drones yet.
I didn't think they would be this strong. I might need to activate 80% or 85% of the burst, but I didn't expect to go to 90% from 75%.
Thankfully, I have been monitoring the platform and every drone coming out of it.
The moment they came out and I had sensed it.
CLANNNG Puch CLANNNG!
I defended before piercing my sword into its chest, before defending two attacks at once and killing three more one after another.
I looked at Horyvos and others and heaved a sigh of relief, but the next time, my expression turned worse.
Another powerhouse died.
Making it second while three are injured, but not enough that they couldn't fight.
"Thank you. I wouldn't have been able to survive without your shield, thanked Horyvos.
'Welcome, I replied and killed another powerful drone before killing several normal
Though, I could see a large group of them coming toward me. A second and a half later, they are on me.
Immediately, two limbs came out. Holding a similar sword as me.
My three swords begin to cleave them fast. It didn't matter what their strength was; they would be pierced and cut apart.
I am sending a massive number of drones to my core. To my surprise, the seedling of the world is handling the rush well.
Though it had changed the strategy.
Now, tens of roots didn't move at drones. Only one moves toward one drone. It had slowed the absorption, but it's fine.
The overall absorption had taken a massive leap because of the sheer numbers.
I desperately want to look at my core. Seeing the changes that are happening because of the truly massive number of growth energy, but I didn't.
I don't want to do anything too distracting.
Though, I, many times, couldn't help but wish. If these drones had been the Grimms, I wouldn't have been as worried as I am if only 1% of them had a bloodline.
With them, my strength would have grown really fast.
These drones are only helping the plants, which is still better than common Grimms. As they only turn to essence roses, they don't help produce growth energy. Here, every drone is doing that.
So, I may not be getting the strengthening energy, but I am getting a massive amount of growth energy.
If I survive, it will help me tremendously.
I pushed those thoughts and focused on fighting. I cannot afford to get distracted.
"The number of powerful drones is increasing fast. Be careful!' warned Prime Ora. She didn't have to tell me that, I was keeping a close eye on them. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel✦fire.net
Because seeing how things are going, these won't be strongest for long.
The stronger ones will come, and that would be bad.
I had just thought about it when an even stronger one came out. It is bigger and more muscular. Its blade hand is longer, and its edge looks sharper.
'Me and my mouth!' I cursed myself and noticed more of them were coming out.
Prime warned, while I harnessed even more power from the burst.
There is no choice. I could fight them with my current strength, but I wouldn't be able to kill them with a single attack, given the sheer number of drones attacking me.
I would need to maintain the efficiency; I have to survive.
CLANNNG Puch CLANNNG!
They reached me, and I defended against them as I did before I started hacking them while moving my sword to defend myself.
In the battle, the size of my shields has changed to suit the condition of the battle.
They have become smaller and faster. Helping me defend against the attack quickly. I am controlling my two shields and limbs.
The third shield around the Horyvos is being controlled by my clone.
When I got into the synch, I got better at multitasking. The data proved that I do better than even my clone.
It is not without strain. I could feel the veins on my head swelling up, but it was helping me quench that thirst for the battle that had built inside me.
Though, I didn't let myself go inside it too deeply.
Especially now that I have started comprehending the law of killing. I had noticed that these laws had affected me mentally, but I am in control, and I should never lose that.
Seeing, I am getting side effects of the laws, but not its benefits. Things would have been much better if I could use the power of laws.
I am still keeping my eyes on the queen.
It is acting like it didn't see us. It has its target, and it is only attacking them. It is understood that once they were dead, it wouldn't be much difficult to deal with us.
Unfortunately, Primes are only defending.
They were not able to land even a single attack on it. It is too fast, and those soul attacks it is specifically targeting them with make things even harder.
Seconds passed, and the stronger drones took the place of the weaker drones.
It had made things very difficult for us.
Currently, I am fine, but others aren't. The injuries have started to appear on their
They must deal with the queen as soon as possible, or it will be terrible.
Seconds passed when a new type of drone appeared. Seeing them, I couldn't help but
'We are dead!" said someone through the link, and I could feel them activating their full power. Except for leaders, everyone activated their full power.
I activated the full burst. There is no choice.
It isn't the only thing I did. I moved my strings toward the queen.
I have been thinking about it since, I didn't even know what the enemy was and hoped
I wouldn't have to use it, but I prepared for it.
The queen needs to die. If it didn't, we all will die.
