Bam. Bam. Bam.
Osvald swung his fist and killed a Cosmic Beetle.
"Are there fewer of them here than I thought? Don't they need to defend their ho?" Osvald said, walking down the narrow, dark tunnel.
"They've probably decided to fight us in the sa place. Queen Beetle definitely knows we're coming."
Wain and Osvald decided to act at once. After the village, they planned to head for the nest of Cosmic Beetle. At first, the Beetles tried to defend their ho and prevent Wain and Osvald from invading, but Beetles were powerless against them.
The Beetles' nest was filled with tunnels and forks. Wain and Osvald changed paths from ti to ti and constantly changed tunnels.
"Do you hear that?" Osvald asked.
"Hmm? What do you an?"
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
"Roooooooaaaaaaarrrrr!"
Suddenly, the ground trembled, and a roar was sowhat human-like.
"Oh, looks like soone got tired of waiting for us." Osvald smiled and looked into the left tunnel, that's where the sound was coming from.
"Is that the Queen?"
"Probably, either way, we'll find out soon enough." Osvald shrugged.
"Osvald, I want to ask you sothing."
"Hmm? What is it?"
"Deal with the bugs, but don't touch the Queen. I want to fight with her myself." Wain said seriously.
"Are you sure? The Queen is definitely a lot stronger than that Lizard."
"Yes. Don't worry about it." Wain said coldly.
"It's up to you. In that case, don't count on ." Osvald waved his hand.
Wain nodded and walked calmly forward. There was a faint but very powerful and deadly aura emanating from him.
'Looks like he was hurt by defeat, ah, he's still too young, but his skills are actually amazing. Maybe he can even defeat the Queen.'
Wain realized that he was much weaker than Osvald even in this Zone. In the battle with the Lizard, Osvald was holding back on purpose because he wanted to watch the fight, and Wain was against him getting involved again. He wanted to win without relying on anyone else's help, because he wouldn't have the invincible Osvald with him another ti.
The roar kept appearing from ti to ti, showing them the way, and after a few forks, Wain and Osvald reached the right place. It was the core of the Space Beetles' nest.
Wain stepped forward, and several beetels flew in front of him. They were not attacking but moving from one point to another at a frantic pace.
"Surely they were waiting for us...?" Osvald was puzzled. The beetels weren't even paying attention to them, it was as if they didn't exist.
"Look. " Wain pointed to the massive beetle in the center. It was several tis the size of the others, it was the Queen.
The Queen had the sa white stripes on her body as the Lizard. It, too, had absorbed so of the energy from Soul Pearl.
Whoooooosh.
Beetels flew around the Queen and opened small spatial holes. They disappeared quickly, but energy managed to seep through them, which turned into threads and headed toward the Queen.
"Is that a cocoon?"
"Looks like it."
The threads gradually grew larger, and a cocoon appeared around the Queen, which eventually consud her completely.
Osvald could have destroyed the Queen right then and there, but he didn't.
,m "Ready? Judging by the aura, the Queen will get even stronger." Osvald smirked.
"Yes. Let her absorb as much energy as she wants. It won't change anything anyway." Wain stood against the wall and smoked.
Whooooooosh.
Suddenly, a white root erged from the ground and stuck into the cocoon. Strange energy emanated from the root, very powerful and pure.
"What? This root has the energy of Soul Pearl?" Osvald was surprised.
"Hmm? What does that an? Do Soul Pearls have sothing to do with plants?"
"Normally not, but it looks like Soul Pearls have connected to the roots and turned into a tree, most likely, the main base of Pearl Hunters is there. The tree sprouted, and those lucky enough to find the roots could get a piece of the power and absorb it without harm."
"Shouldn't Soul Pearls be depleted because of this?"
"No, don't worry about that. On the contrary, it becos more powerful since there is an exchange between energies, only beings strong enough to absorb energy so that the body won't reject it. Maybe the pearls here are even bigger than I thought."
"I see. That's even for the best. It would be a great start to becoming a Pearl Hunter."
"Ahahahaha, man, it's a dangerous path, even I had a lot of trouble doing it, but if you're so confident in your decision, then I'll share my experience with you." Osvald laughed.
"Sure." Wain nodded, "I'll never forget the feeling when I absorbed a Soul Pearl."
The cocoon gradually enlarged and filled with energy. Thousands of beetels began to tire, opening spatial rifts in such an area was challenging. When the job was done, the beetels flew away to the sides and watched the process intently.
The energy in the root was not infinite either, it was completely dried up and disintegrated into small pieces.
"Great, looks like it's finally starting soon." Osvald smirked, and the first crack appeared on the cocoon.
Whooooooosh.
The beetles opened their wings wide and began to flutter as if to welco the rebirth of their Queen.
Crackle.
The cracks got bigger, and the cocoon shattered into many pieces. A thick vapor burst forth, and a tall figure erged from the cocoon. It stepped forward and erged from the cloud of steam.
The Queen looked like a human now. She had long purple hair, wide black eyes, and many protective plates all over her body. She had four transparent wings on her back and a powerful aura emanating from her.
"Thank you for waiting." The Queen said slowly, looking at Wain, "You wanted to fight ? Then, go ahead. I'll show you that you are nothing before the power of the whole nest."
