Chapter 329: Fatal

After Lvzi, Weak Sound was struck by a dragon claw from Flossie, the sharp talons instantly severing her petite body into multiple segments. Her blood exploded outward as the dismembered remains plummeted from the sky.

"Little Sound…"

Army Lady clenched her silver teeth, fury blazing hotter in her chest as she glared at the colossal dragon. The sisterhood shared profound bonds, and among them, Weak Sound’s endearing personality and delicate charm had made her the most cherished – their beloved youngest sibling.

Sword in hand, Army Lady launched herself at the dragon once more. Of the three ant warriors, only she possessed combat instincts sharp enough to narrowly evade Flossie’s assaults, each dodge appearing almost precognitive. Yet the dragon’s failed strikes stemmed not just from Army Lady’s prowess, but from Flossie’s divided attention between eliminating Red Pupil and managing previous threats from Lvzi and Weak Sound.

After both Lvzi and Weak Sound fell, even with Magic Rainbow’s "Electric Finger" support, Army Lady’s battle mastery only sustained her through mere exchanges before Flossie’s massive tail speared through her torso. The scaled appendage pierced the golden-haired warrior’s heart from front to back, pulverizing her organs in an instant.

As the tail withdrew… A gaping wound the size of a basin remained in the girl’s chest, the bloody aperture framing the sky behind her. Light fled from those golden eyes as her lifeless form plummeted earthward.

Only Magic Rainbow now obstructed Flossie’s pursuit of Red Pupil. The dragon’s crimson eyes narrowed – these precisely timed Electric Finger assaults kept interrupting its chase. With furious resolve, Flossie wheeled its massive head toward the ground-bound foe.

Magic Rainbow scarcely registered the abrupt shift in target before the dragon was upon her. Though she conjured multiple defensive barriers instantly, the hasty shields shattered like glass beneath crushing talons. The devastating claw continued downward, crushing the white-haired beauty beneath its weight. Blood and viscera erupted across snowfields, staining pristine white with arterial crimson.

Having annihilated Magic Rainbow in one brutal strike, Flossie surged forward without hesitation, resuming pursuit of the distant Red Pupil.

"You ant!" the dragon roared, venom dripping from its words. "Witnessing your comrades die horribly by my hand, does vengeance not burn in your wretched heart?"

This taunt concealed desperate calculation – Flossie’s Magic Value dwindled dangerously from sustaining "Overspeed Regeneration". Though confident in finishing the fleeing child, preserving enough energy to eliminate the remaining ant within its body and the Class B swarm posed challenges. Provoking direct combat would drain Red Pupil’s resources faster.

Flossie desired not merely Red Pupil’s death, but complete extermination of every invading ant. Yet the crimson-eyed girl only spared the dragon an arctic glance before accelerating her retreat.

The mental images of her sisters’ gruesome deaths stoked infernal rage beneath Red Pupil’s icy composure. She remained clear-headed – Darkling Stalker would handle the true battle. Her role was buying time, not futile confrontation. Let the dragon exhaust itself chasing; its obsession guaranteed it wouldn’t turn attention to the hidden threat within.

Due to the skill "Undead Crowd," it remained nearly impossible for the dragon to kill Darkling Stalker as long as her Magic Value persisted.

…

Finding Red Pupil unmoved by her taunts, Flossie resigned herself to continuing the pursuit. Freed from Army Lady’s interference this time, the dragon swiftly closed the distance.

"The outcome remains the same, albeit requiring slightly more effort."

The dragon’s talons slashed toward the child.

"Perish!"

Upon striking the young girl, the razor-sharp claws disintegrated into hundreds of luminous motes that showered upon the Class B antkin below – another activation of "Undead Crowd."

That infernal skill again…

Flossie’s eyes narrowed before she mentally scoffed.

Let’s see how long your Magic Value sustains this farce!

The dragon intensified its assault, unleashing a relentless barrage of claws, fangs, and tail strikes. Though some blows missed, most found their mark. Both combatants’ Magic Value dwindled rapidly, yet Red Pupil’s reserves diminished noticeably faster – precisely as Flossie had anticipated.

Later,

When Red Pupil retained barely enough Magic Value for three more "Undead Crowd" activations, Flossie still possessed sufficient energy to maintain "Overspeed Regeneration" for approximately sixty seconds. Those final moments would seal her fate.

How could she possibly eliminate both Class A antkin – the external foe and her internal parasite – plus the remaining Class B swarm in mere minutes? Survival required absolute annihilation, yet…

The dragon cast a fleeting glance toward its den, eyes softening imperceptibly. When facing Red Pupil again, that vulnerability hardened into murderous resolve.

At minimum, both Class A specimens must die.

And as many Class B vermin as possible.

"ROARRR!!!"

The enraged wyrm launched its final onslaught. Red Pupil dodged initially before deploying her skill:

First activation…

Second…

Third…

Though revived by the "Undead" effect, Army Lady and Lvzi arrived too late. Within fifteen seconds of triple skill usage, Red Pupil’s Magic Value emptied completely. Defenseless and vulnerable, the child stood no chance against the enraged leviathan.

Flossie’s fourth strike connected – no luminous dispersion followed.

Her eyes blazed with triumph.

The cleaving talons reduced the young girl’s form to bloody segments…
