Woof!

*Jiggle!*

With that decided, Sheila pulled a dark spear out of her inventory. Upon thinking for a bit, she realized that most of her skills affected them too much that the battle doesn't seem fun anymore, and so, Sheila decided to try fighting the queen with a normal spear instead. As much as she hates pain and suffering, she also didn't want to have an easy and smooth life. It might come out as strange but, she prefers to suffer for a short while, like having bad luck for an entire day, in which she would be reward with some luck the next day. To her, that is how reality works.

One can't wish to have a good life for the rest of their life without a little suffering in the midst, that's just being greedy. Without difficulty, how would one appreciate the good thing in their life? Most people would only realize what is important to them, the moment they lose it. That's how regret is born.

Seeing the female human charging toward her, the queen immediately commands the soldiers to intercept her path. The soldiers quickly stood in the path toward the queen, intending to block her from going forward. Unfortunately, Sheila swiftly bypasses them by jumping from shadow to another, leaving the rest of the soldiers to Raksha and Kuu. Once she reached approximately close to the queen, Sheila fiercely thrust the dark spear straight toward her. The queen somehow managed to avoid it by a hair's breadth as the moment she saw Sheila bypassing her soldiers with ease, the queen promptly took a distance from her previous location.

”Quick reaction but, that is still not good enough.”

Sheila said and, before the queen can launch an attack, she rotated her body around in a swift movement along with the spear before slashing it toward the queen. At such a close range, the queen didn't have enough time to avoid it other than could only hope that her exoskeleton is tough enough to defend against the incoming slash.

SCREECH!

With her strength ten times that of average people coupled with a very durable spear, it is strong enough to leave a small cut on the queen's shoulder, but not deep enough to make it fatal. Nonetheless, it still hurt getting a cut, which was why the queen ended up screeching in pain. Knowing that it managed to hurt the queen, Sheila didn't stop there and instead, increase her speed and keep on slashing her spear at the queen in a place where she won't accidentally kill it.

Just imagining ordering the queen to direct thousands of its soldiers to crush her enemies with their numbers is simply an amazing sight to behold! Sheila wanted that foresight(imagination) to happen! And so, she decided to beat up the queen for now before giving it an offer of a hope to survive by becoming her subordinate/tamed monster. With that thought in mind, Sheila fiercely slashes toward the queen with her spear like a complete madman if one were to look at her current expression.

'a boss-type monster under my thumb, a boss-type monster under my thumb, a boss-type monster under my thumb.' this thought keeps repeating inside her mind the longer it takes before the queen surrenders itself at her. No matter how many times the queen cried out for help, her soldiers couldn't come to the rescue since they were kept in place by Raksha and Kuu. And just like that, without having any ability to defend against the female human slashing the spear at her, the queen couldn't stop the cuts that keep appearing all over her body.

Only when the queen didn't try to dodge her attack anymore did Sheila stop her assault. By then, the few soldiers that somehow survived Sheila's onslaught moments ago, have also decreased to a very small amount, to the point one can count them in two hands. Even so, their will to go and help their queen didn't diminish by tiny bit at all. Perhaps, it was because of not-fearing-death conditions they have at the moment that they somehow managed to wounded Raksha while Kuu is fine but still considerably exhausted. And because of Kuu's unique 'body,' Raksha didn't get much wounded on its body as most of the time, the former always took the blow in its place.

”Raksha, come here and eat this.”

Woof!
