Chapter 65
Krios, witnessing the summoning of the Umbral sword, is momentarily taken aback. The sight of the shadowy weapon, floating ominously, renders him speechless. However, this moment of awe leaves him vulnerable.
The ant queen, seizing the opportunity, lashes out with a vicious strike, her mandibles coated with toxic venom. Krios, caught off guard, is unable to react in time. The queen's attack connects, sending Krios flying across the chamber with a forceful impact. He crashes against the wall, the sound of his collision echoing ominously. Krios slumps to the ground, momentarily incapacitated, the breath knocked out of him.
Nyx, seeing Krios flung aside, feels a surge of anger. He knows he's now the only one standing between the queen's wrath and their mission's success. With a steely resolve, he focuses on controlling the Umbral sword, guiding it with his will.
