Chapter 145: She's Back
The Queen's remaining antennae twitched before she swiped in front of herself to cut off the attacker's approach. The sharp, whip-like movement was meant to easily strike down the target that was foolish enough to attack. Her concentration was barely focused on the target, leaving her surprised when she felt the four strikes hit home when her attack was certain to land.
She wasn't naive. The Queen, who had been confident in her ability to easily dispatch the new attacker, found herself caught off guard. Her antennae, which should have intercepted the strikes, suddenly shifted off course, allowing the four attacks to land on her wounds. She was stunned; another enemy she believed to be unimportant had given her more trouble than expected.
