Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 232: Pierced

The king was about to go down to make an entrance in front of his people when Nessa and the others surrounded the creature.

"They are going to keep getting in my way aren't they?" The king asked and she glanced at him and sighed.

"Probably," She responded and Nessa's eyes glowed bright orange as orange and red magical circles formed in the sky and they looked at her.

"Release your attack, now," She said as the creature was about to attack them with its black flames and they all aimed for its injuries and released their attacks due to which it roared it pain, releasing a ball of black flame from its tail, which was heading within the city where everyone was but the knights formed a larger circle releasing an energy which hit the ball of flame back to the creature, causing an explosion.

Nessa and the others pulled away from the explosion and at the same time, Nessa released her attacks which pierced even deeper into the creature and the others smiled then sighed, knowing that they were making progress and they all took a deep breath before forming a higher version of their attacks and they looked at Nessa who stepped back.

[Lady Nessa, if you keep doing what you're doing, you'll be able to kill him; however, if you use your flame arrows and aim for its heart now that it's weakened, it will destroy its core; the others have already given you what you nodded to.]

"I see, then, I will do just that," She said as the creature's body began to glow black and flames started forming around its limbs and Nessa gasped as the king chuckled.

"Too bad, it's going to kill all of them," He said as Nessa sighed and she formed the flames arrows and bows within her hand and the others looked at her as her eyes glowed blue with her aim locked onto the core of the beast and she took a deep breath before exhaling deeply, releasing four arrows at once which pierced through the creature's heart causing to to roar in pain and the others gasped as the body of it glowed brighter.

The king punched the wall of the balcony causing it to crack a bit and his fiancee flinched as he looked at Nessa and the others with anger and she gnashed her teeth.

[My lady, it's going to explode.]

"Cortan form a barrier around it, double reinforcement," Nessa said and Cortan smiled as his eyes glowed blue and he formed a barrier around the creature, then they all stepped back and it exploded, causing the ground to shake, and they all jumped and Sophia was about to fall into the river, but Yonja helped her and within a minute, the ground stopped vibrating and Cortan took down the barrier and all they saw was blood and the creature disappeared in ashes.

After seeing that the threats were gone, the people of the kingdom cheered for them and they smiled, the king stared at them, then Nessa looked directly at him and her eyes glowed for a second before returning to normal and the others approached her.

"You did it," Sophia said, wrapping her arm around Nessa's neck and she smiled at the girl.

"It's more like we did it, not me alone, because if it hadn't been for you guys weakening it, I wouldn't have been able to kill it that easily, so we did it together," Nessa replied, and they smiled at her. Yonja patted Sophia on the head, and she smiled at him, as the king and fiancee approached them while the knights began cleaning up the mess that had been made.

"Your highness," Yonja said and Nessa glanced at them without addressing them and Yonja scoffed as the king glanced at her and his eyes narrowed while staring at her and she stared right back at him without flinching.

"You guys did fantastic today, and we appreciate your assistance in keeping this city safe." The king spoke as his fiancee sighed and extended her hand to shake Nessa's hand, but Nessa hit her hand away, and her eyes widened as the others looked at both Nessa and the fiancee.

"What do you believe you're doing?" Nessa scoffed when she asked.

"We helped save this city because of its people, not because of you guys, get that in your head, and don't go acting like we're suddenly friends because we aren't," Nessa responded as she was about to walk away when the girl tried to trip her and she flicked over her feet, and the others smiled as Nessa looked back at her and then approached her.

"Don't try that again, compare yourself to me and you will fall under, don't push your luck here, you don't belong here, don't get me on my nerves, I don't like you just like you don't like me, but I know how to get what I want, back off or you will regret it, let's go guys," Nessa said as she walked away and the others followed her and the girl clenched her fists in anger.

"I will crush her if it's the last thing I do, what are you going to say about this though? You are standing their gazing when your plan failed," She said before looking at the king as he stared at her.

"Do you want to question my plans again? Tell me, the plan was good, wasn't it? You had a part to do with it so you should know," He replied and she lowered her head before sighing.

"We didn't expect that they of all people would be able to defeat one, we didn't take that into account, but now we know, which means we can do something better, come up with a stronger plan, and this one was good," She said.

"You're right, but they've just made our job that much more difficult. Let's go back to the castle, we can't afford to waste time now, they won't be pleased after hearing about this, that much I am sure about," He replied as he walked away, and she sighed before following him, thinking about Nessa and the others who were heading back to the guild.
