Prime Originator

Chapter 120 - Elizabeth's Strength

"I commend your great courage for challenging this Queen, but your deliberate actions are extremely foolish and have succeeded in infuriating this Queen!" Queen Arachnia said with gnashing teeth.

As an extremely cannibalistic race, her rise to the top were built upon the million upon million corpses of her own kind.

It did not feel good to be looked down upon by a lower lifeform. It was equivalent to denying her achievements. The spider queen's expression grew uglier by the second.

"Whether it's courage or foolishness, you'll see after fighting this Queen." Elizabeth said coolly as she looked down on the spider queen.

"Hmph!"

The queen of the two races exchanges few words and battled immediately. The queen spider made the first move. She wanted to swat the puny existence out of the sky.

She was a Transcendental being! Only she was allowed to look down on others and not the other way around!

Her large pale white arm closed the distance in a heartbeat and her contrasting steely black fingers that were like a miniature version of her pointy black legs, swiped downwards on the metal tower that was not much smaller than her than own body.

Elizabeth on her moving tower, dodged the attack with ease. Even if the tower did not move and withstood the attack, it would not suffer much damage.

Everything the Queen manipulated in battle would not be made of common metal. By defensive capability alone, it is enough to enter the ranks of spirit artifacts.

"Hmph! Slippery little human!"

Queen Arachnia made another swipe with her black claws, but again, it was dodged with ease.

"You're too slow. Is your large frame and great strength all you have as a transcendent being?" Elizabeth said with contempt.

Her swords moved in irregular and hard-to-guess patterns and strike at the spider queen from difficult angles. Her sword strike succeeded, but it only left white marks on the surface of the spider queen's body.

Queen Arachnia who was on the verge of exploding with greater fury suddenly calmed down.

"I see… How devious you humans are. You purposely anger this Queen to make me lose my rationale. My attacks have been predictable." Arachnia stated calmly, but a hint of coldness suffused the air. She had been made a joke of.

She was a Transcendental being. Even if the unlocked intelligence of her race was not on par with humans, how can she be led by the nose forever? She was able to see through the human queen's plot after a few exchanges.

If she was so easily defeated with just schemes, she would have long become the sustenance of another rival arachnid that feed on each other to grow.

"However, even if this Queen does nothing, you won't be able to harm this Queen." The spider queen added.

That being said, she would not purposely allow herself to be harassed by a puny human without retaliating.

The two queens quickly exchange dozens to hundreds of attacks. Although the spider queen's attack became calmer and trickier, the result remained the same.

For every attack Elizabeth dodge, she would strike back with her flying swords and leave hundreds of more white marks on the spider queens' body.

It was as Elizabeth had said. Due to the large build of the spider queen, her offensive and defensive power was great, but her speed was sacrificed as a result. But this did not mean that the attacks of the spider queen were slow by any means. It was only slower than Elizabeth's speed.

For any other awakeners below 7 stars, it would be impossible. To the common people's perception, the spider queen was both fast and gigantic. It was horrifying.

Any unlucky fool to be hit by the spider queen would have their body either exploded into bloody mist on impact or be flatten into a meat paste that was flatter than the doormat.

While the queens were battling, the earth shook with every step of the spider queen and their clashes resounded throughout the four directions.

The Lower East District that had long been devastated into complete ruins without a single intact building, suffered a wholly new level of destruction as the broken woods and rubbles were grinded down into fine dust.

At the same time, the people fighting in the lower district had retreated behind the upper walls once more, but even then, they do not feel safe from battle. They did have a chance to spectate the battle during the retreat, but now that they have time, they could only look on with a mixture awe and fear.

"This can no longer be said to be a battle between humans…" A nobleman commented thoughtlessly.

"Nonsense! Look at that thing! What part of that is human to begin with!?" An old man rebuked.

"The upper body…" The person gulped.

"…"

The crowd was silenced.

Despite the spider queen having a naked upper body of a human woman that seemed to have been sculpted from the finest of jades with silky smooth and pale white skin, no one could appreciate the beauty of the spider queen even if she had the face of a seductress.

In fact, it wouldn't be wrong to call the spider queen a demon succubus from the arachnid's point of view. Any male arachnids able to copulate with the spider queen would have their essence sucked dry and die within a few hours. It was uncertain whether this was a lucky or unlucky thing for their kind.

When the Duke retreated behind the wall, he wore a depressed look with great heartache. His airship suffered great damage and fell out of the sky when the spider queen broke out onto the surface. He only hoped that the levitation stone was still intact.

However, his final hopes were soon dashed, the moment the battle between queens moved towards the airship location. It was first stepped on, sliced then flattened beyond recognition.

"Ahh…"

It was like the Duke just lost his soul. Whatever damages his prized airship suffered, felt like the same was happening on his own heart, tearing it apart.

"What's the matter with you?" The general marquis said.

He naturally noticed the Duke's expression as they been through a tough battle and became close as brothers. Old man Kasif wore a guilty expression and took the chance to slip away silently, while the attention wasn't on him.

In any case, his strength was completely exhausted and won't be able to contribute further with his old bones. He couldn't defend the wall against the new swarming crawlers in the distance.

Even while they were being stomped to death by their own queen mother, the crawlers didn't seem to be reducing in numbers in the slightest. God knows how many more crawlers were still left in the rift.

The guards and nobles all wore helpless expression in the face of this renewed army. They didn't have the strength to keep going.

However, when they caught news of the reinforcements making their way over from the other three districts, it was like music to their ears, extremely comforting and lifted their souls to the high heaven.

They gritted their teeth with determination burning in their eyes. They just need to persevere for just a little while longer… just a while longer…

…

Leon made his way back to where the Greene family was located at this time. He had sealed his own acupoints and applied some Golden Ointment to stop the bleeding in his mangled mess of an arm. He still required the miraculous wood ability to heal it back to perfect condition.

Lina was shocked at the state of his arm, but under his calm smile and reassurance, she was able to quickly calm down and treated him. He smiled sheepishly at thought of him, a doctor requiring the treatment of others again.

When his personal guards arrived and saw his arm with red eyes, they lost their minds and wanted to scream 'It's over!'

However, Lina's healing worked fast, and the recovery of his arm could be seen at a visibly rate. They sighed in relief at the sight. It looks like they still get to keep their heads.

This job was not easy… not easy… not f*cking easy! Important things had to be stressed thrice! Protecting the prince was too stressful.

It was around this time that the sky began to display an extraordinary phenomenon that had not been seen in many years.

The energy of heaven and earth gathered towards the royal palace. The energy was so concentrated, the onlookers could a strip of red line descending from the heavens. Everyone saw and knew exactly what was happening. Someone was transcending.

The breakthrough to the transcendent level was not a lengthy process. The phenomenon could only be witnessed for a few moments before it disappeared like an inch of radiance. If one saw it, it would be a sight to remember. If they didn't, bad luck. Wait for next time.

At the royal palace, the doors of the pill room were swung open as Crazy Don waltz out, while guffawing.

"Hahahaha! This Don is now a Transcendent!"

If the few palace maids stationed to watch over him, didn't hear his exclamation, they would have wondered who the f*ck he was.

His appearance had undergone a startling change as his wrinkles disappeared and his grey white hair had reverted to black. He looked like he had returned to the prime of his life.

"Hmm? What is going on out here?" Crazy Don asked.

Due to the sound insulation of the pill room to prevent distraction during pill refining, Don had been clueless to the events of the Capital. However, once he was out, he immediately learnt of the situation.

"How can this Don be missing out on such fun?"

His eyes suddenly beamed with excitement and impatience like a kid that couldn't wait to play with his new toy.
