nFlying Frag Ant Queen LVL 25 – Boss – Enraged – War Form

nHP: 195,000

/200,000

nMP: 300,000

/300,000

nNot only did the queen's appearance change, but also her stats. Her HP increased from 150,000 to 200,000 while her MP gained a substantial boost of 100k.

n

"Let me make the playing field fair first.

" Shiro said as mana gathered in her palms.

nUsing her passive cold aura, she enhanced the freezing power of cold aura with her tier 2 ice magic.

n*CRRRRR

nThe entire ruin started to freeze over as Shiro was now able to attack the ant queen wherever the ice was present.

nThe queen's eyes glowed slightly when she saw the ice.

nShiro felt her body shiver for a moment as she recognised an incoming danger.

n

nQuickly rolling to her left, she turned a portion of her body into snow.

n*BOOM!!!!

nThe spot she was in exploded as Shiro quickly turned to the spot and saw a fire javelin.

n

"You've got to be kidding.

" Shiro muttered seeing the queen shift to the fire element.

nThe armour was tinted red showing the element as Shiro realised the queen could probably use all of the basic elements.

nNot staying still in the same spot, Shiro pivoted around her hand before flipping once more. Flicking her wrist, 3 ice spears shot out from the ground towards the queen.

nA semi-translucent orb appeared around the queen as the ice spears shattered on impact.

n

"A god damn mana barrier powered by 300K MP, you've got to be kidding me.

" Shiro said annoyed.

nShe didn't mind fighting against the queen, but for her to drain 300k worth of mana along with the 200k worth of health was an insane task.

n

nNarrowing her eyes, Shiro had an idea.

n'I just need to force her to waste all of her mana.'

nUsing her snow magic along with her ice magic, Shiro changed the weather of the boss room.

nCrouching down, Shiro made a ramp towards the boss.

n*BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

nThe boss sent several fire spears towards Shiro as she countered with her own ice spear.

nJumping off the ramp, Shiro made two daggers in her hands and slice towards the queen.

n*PON PON PON PON PON!

nSeveral hollow echo's rang out as Shiro sliced away at the shield.

n

nSwinging her hand downwards, Shiro created another ramp of ice as she dodged a breath of lightning.

nPressing both daggers together. Shiro made a Nano Craft Sword and sliced upwards.

nThe queen flew backwards, dodging the strike.

nShiro landed hard on the ground and quickly looked towards the queen.

nQuickly flipping backwards, Shiro dodged a blade strike from the queen. Mid-flip, Shiro created a dagger and threw it towards the queen.

n*BOOMMM!!!

nDetonating the dagger, Shiro saw ripples spread out on the mana barrier.

nMP: 250,000

/300,000

n

"Che, only 50k MP was used so far.

" Shiro muttered as she slammed her palms onto the ground.

n

nAn ice pillar shot out the ground as it aimed for the queen.

nOpening the mandibles on her mouth, Shiro could see the queen use fire breath to melt the pillar.

nFlicking her wrist, Shiro caused a giant ice clamp to close in on the queen.

n*BOOM!

nThe clamp caused a huge ripple in the mana barrier as the queen was jammed between the two clamps.

nThe queen's eyes glistened as she slammed her arms outwards and destroyed the clamp. Pushing more mana into her wings, the queen dashed towards Shiro.

nStomping down hard, Shiro caused a giant wave of ice to shoot towards the queen but she sliced it in half easily.

nWhat greeted the queen, however, was a giant blizzard.

nSnow obscured her sights as she tried to sense Shiro but failed.

n

n*BOOM!

nA sudden explosion of ice surprised the queen as the attack hit behind her.

nFlicking her bladed hands, the queen sent several wind blades over to try cut Shiro.

nUnknown to her, a pair of azure eyes were tracking her.

nMP: 225,000

/300,000

nShiro sighed softly seeing the mana she managed to take off. However, she had already used around 7000 of her total mana leaving her with just 4000.

nMaking a few tiny ice bullets in her hand, Shiro decided to try increase the queen's rage so that she would fire off large scale attacks and drain her mana faster.

n*Don don don don

nThe bullets tapped at the mana shield as the queen looked around but became furious when she couldn't find Shiro.

n

n'That's it, keep going.' Shiro thought.

nThe queen's body became a mix of red and yellow as it flew upwards.

nShiro dashed towards a pillar and used it as cover.

nLightning and fire gathered around the queen's mouth as Shiro understood the queen wanting to wipe the area with a single attack.

nPinching three fingers together, Shiro made a thin dagger.

nHer goal was for the dagger to interrupt the queen when she's still charging her attack. However, she needed to time it correctly as interrupting too early wouldn't drain as much mana and interrupt too late means the queen firing the death beam off.

nShe eyed the attack as pressure was at an all-time high.

n'Now!' She thought, throwing the dagger with her full strength.

nThe timing was a little early as the attack was around 75% charged. However, any further would be dangerous territory.

n

nClenching her fist, she caused the dagger to explode.

n*BOOOMMMM!!!

nThis caused a chain reaction as the breath attack was forcefully stopped. Since it wasn't fully ready, the attack exploded in the queen's face.

nMP: 130,000

/300,000

n'Not bad.' Shiro thought since the failed attack managed to wipe out almost 100k worth of mana.

nNaturally, this included the charge up and the explosion the barrier absorbed.

nHowever, she too was left with just 2500 MP.

n'I should take it down from the skies.' She thought as having the queen fly around was going to increase the duration of this fight.

n'Actually…' Shiro grinned as she had an epiphany.

n

nShe started to sprint towards the queen without cover whilst launching small ice bullets to gain its attention.

nThe queen glared at her hatefully as four of her blade legs opened up. Flying towards Shiro, the queen slashed her legs at Shiro's body.

nTwisting her body to avoid the blades, Shiro grabbed one of the queen's armour plates.

nThe force felt like it could tear her arms off as she gritted her teeth.

nThe queen thrashed her legs around as she tried to kick Shiro off her back.

nUsing Faded Snow Movement, Shiro avoided the blades as she pulled herself on the queens back with some difficulty.

nPressing her palms on the gap between the 2 pairs of wings, Shiro narrowed her eyes.

n'Mana Extractor, Transfer Vent.' Shiro thought as she couldn't make anything more with the remainder of her MP.

nA device was being created in her palms as it ate into the queen's shell causing her to scream.

n

nThe nano bots were ruthless as they ate away at anything blocking their path so they could make the device.

nThe device had its own limits as Shiro was borrowing from the queen's mana pool to make up for what she lacks.

nThe Mana Extractor was used to take the mana that was being fuelled into the wings and the Transfer Vent was used to give Shiro some of the mana.

nSweat was dripping from her head as she was pushing her creation a little. What she had unlocked right now was Nano Tech Engineering Tier 1. Both the Mana Extractor and the Transfer Vent were something she should have made when she was Tier 3.

nThe cost was low, but the physical burden was huge.

nBlood started to drip from her hands as the nano bots continued to be produced trying to form the device.

nWhen the device was finished, there was a pool of blood dripping from her fingers as Shiro had to endure the pain.

nHer HP was also dropping little by little as she tried to create something out of her league.

nNaturally, the queen wasn't letting Shiro stay on her back. But no matter how she tried to shake Shiro off, she kept an iron grip stopping herself from falling.

n

nCrappy Mana Extractor Prototype

n-93% efficiency

n'I know it's crap but did you have to title it Crappy Mana Extractor?'

nActivating the Crappy Mana Extractor, Shiro let a minuscule amount of MP enter her as the wings of the queen shimmered. The amount of mana that was being absorbed compared to the amount being transferred to her was very inefficient.

nHowever, the main goal of the Mana Extractor was to drain the Mana from the queen.

nMP: 0

/300,000

nWhen the MP was completely drained, the queen plummeted towards the ground as Shiro kicked off the back and landed on her feet.

nShe flinched when she felt the pain emanating from her right arm.

nNano Tech Corrosion – Right Arm – 9 days 23h

n

n'Figures…' Shiro thought as this was to be expected. Forcing her body to produce something of a much higher tier had dire consequences. If she tried to make the items 5 tiers higher than her, the backlash would be permanent.

nHowever, the silver lining was that the queen had lost her entire shield.

nHP: 189,000

/200,000

nMP: 0

/300,000

nOn the other hand, her MP was full and it was just a matter of time before she drained the queen of her health.

nShiro was about to dash forward but stopped when she felt a shocking pain tense up her nerves.

n*SSSSS!!!

nSucking in a breath of cold air, Shiro forgot how much Nano Tech Corrosion truly hurt.

nReaching her left hand towards her right hand, Shiro made a frozen brace as it would hold her arm in place whilst she fought.

n

nThe pain was still there, but it wasn't as bad.

nFlicking her left hand, she created several ice walls as she blocked a slash from the queen. In the time she recovered from the pain, the queen recovered as well.

n'Such a waste…' Shiro thought as she could have dealt the queen so much damage.

nSince her right hand was busted right now, Shiro opted to reduce the queen's health with bombs and long ranged attacks.

nMaking a dagger in her left hand, Shiro braced herself.

nDashing towards her, the queen opened all four bladed arms and cut towards Shiro.

nAn ice pillar erupted under her as Shiro dodged the strike.

nShe gritted her teeth as she endured the pain from her arm.

nStabbing her dagger into the ice pillar, she twisted it and a myriad of ice spikes shot out from the pillar.

n

nDue to the close proximity of the queen and the pillar, she wasn't able to block it and was struck several times.

nLetting go of the dagger, Shiro controlled the ice to make a gap and launched the dagger into the queen's face.

n*BOOMMM!!!!!

nThe dagger exploded into a cl.u.s.ter of sharps dealing more damage to the queen.

nEnraged, the queen twisted her body and became a cyclone of relentless blades.

nShiro hopped off the pillar lightly as she made a ramp to cushion her fall.

nFlicking her finger upwards, a spear shot up from below the queen's legs and stabbed into her torso.

nUnfortunately, it wasn't able to pierce her torso causing Shiro to frown.

nMaking sure she kept her distance, she whittled the queen's health little by little.

n

nFlying Frag Ant Queen

nHP: 1

/200,000

nMP: 0

/300,000

nHere was the biggest problem. Unless one can deal a fatal blow, a monster will stay at 1 HP.

nThough the monster will still have a hard time on 1 HP as its armour would be weakened by a large margin allowing for adventurer's to have an easier time to deal a fatal blow.

nShiro was drenched with sweat as she had been fighting continuously for around 2 hours whilst also enduring the pain from her arm.

nCreating a Nano Craft Sword, Shiro threw it towards the queen and it fell just below her feet.

nSwiping her left arm, an ice pillar propelled the sword into the body of the queen. Killing it for good.

n

"Finally…

" Shiro muttered as she sat down with fatigue.

nLaying her body next to the queen's corpse, she closed her eyes and waited for her stamina to recover.

n
