?The Mura?jo?ka Ho Queen and Mietjed Ant Queen both rose from theva simultaneously. The Ho Queen''s wings beat violently as theva rolled off her body. The Ant Queen spilledva onto the hardened tform, her long antennae wildly signaling toward the Nina Urqu Drake.
All three shed against one another in a blur as the two insect queens attempted to team up against the drake, but their attacks were an exercise in futility as they could not pierce through her interwoven scales.
Jackson had long since abandoned the outcropping as the spray fromva was too high. He had punched a hole through the volcano''s wall and slid down to the trail, running back to the top and hiding as he watched the giant monsters brawl.
Lava erupted around the tform in the middle of thevake as all three shed in the center. The drake swung her tail around, swatting the Ho Queen tumbling through the air.
The Ant Queen raised her mandibles up, lifting the drake''s front appendages off the ground, snapping her mandibles repeatedly as the sound of metal grinding against each other echoed through the air.
The giant ho regained herposure, aiming her massive stinger and shooting toward the drake''s ribbed stomach. The drake swiped her ws against the immense ant''s head, iling to break free as the stinger nced off her stomach, knocking the two behemoths over.
The drake thrashed on her side, expelling mes from her mouth, violently crashing against the Ant and Ho Queens, who couldn''t escape the destructive iling.
Jackson stared in awe, his head peeking out from hiding as he watched the brawl before him. The Nina Urqu Drake flipped the Mietjed Ant Queen onto her back, pinning her to the ground with one of her ws, simultaneously wrapping the Mura?jo?ka Ho Queen up with her tail before she unleashed a stream of blue mes from her mouth against the ant''s underbelly.
The ant began squirming helplessly, screeching in pain as the ho began jabbing her stinger into the drake''s tail, which was tightlypressing around her body, repeatedly dealing ncing blows before finally piercing through the softer underside.
The drake raised her head back, roaring in pain as the mes billowed into the air above her, violently flinging her tail and throwing the Ho Queen at Jackson.
The young man''s eyes went wide as he instinctively activated his movement skill, Twenty Moons Under the One Sun, as he vanished from the spot, leaving an afterimage of himself sprinting along the edge before she crashed where he used to be located, destroying more of the volcano.
The destruction of the volcano''s lip caused Jackson to beunched into the air, his eyes rapidly tracking all the rocks, quickly regaining hisposure and kicking himself off the falling pebbles, stones, and boulders in the air as a streak of purple lightning rebounding through the only path to safety,nding on the far edge of the tform in the center.
"Tch!" Jackson clicked his tongue as a massive stream of wind caused him to stumble forward as the Ho Queen flew past him and crashed into the drake again, her stinger finally piercing her underbelly.
The drake spun, flinging the Ant Queen over, tumbling across the tform as Jackson swore under his breath, looking for a way out of this hazardous arena. She gained herposure quickly, turning to face the drake as the young man dived forward underneath her swollen abdomen, crawling fast before she charged back into battle.<novelnext></novelnext>
He quickly pushed off the hardened tform and began sprinting, spotting some floating boulders in theva beyond the fighting giants as he circled the arena, keeping their match in his peripherals.
The Mura?jo?ka Ho Queen attempted to float away from her opponent''s attacks, but in a surprise maneuver, the Nina Urqu Drake leaped into the air, grabbing the ho mid-air, crashing down on top of her, causing the tform to rock violently.
Jackson wasunched into the air,nding roughly and tumbling onto his back, above him, the Mietjed Ant iling as she fell toward him. He quickly rolled onto his stomach, using his hands and feet to dive out of the way as he was flung away by the shockwave.
The young man began coughing as he was stuck between the drake pinning the ho to the tform and the ant frantically trying to flip off her back. He looked around quickly before he started running away parallel to both, toward the edge of the tform.
The drake roared in pain from the potent venom coursing through her veins, ripping both wings from the Mura?jo?ka Ho Queen with her ws and grabbing between the ho''s head and thorax, throwing her to the side.
Jackson quickly spun his arms backward as he stopped running, the queen''s body crashing in front of him as the gigantic beast unleashed an ear-shattering screech in pain. He turned around to see the drake rush toward the trapped ant, again pinning her to the ground.
Blood was oozing out of the drake''s eyes as she raised her head back, unleashing a gurgling victory roar as blue mes began shooting into the air again.
"Oh shi-!!" Jackson eximed, turning around and jumping on top of the dying Ho Queen and dropping behind her body, punching against her diamond-like thorax repeatedly as it began cracking like ss until he made a hole big enough to dive into.
The Nina Urqu Drake lowered her head, superheating the Ant Queen as her dying screeches again filled the air. The mes flooded the entire tform, consuming everything on it and flooding out over theva to the edges of the volcano, rushing out into the skies.
The mes slowly faded as Jackson slipped out from the charred corpse of the Ho Queen. He grimaced, shaking the muck off his body and wiping his face. He jumped on her body once again to see the drake lying on her side, breathingboriously, and the Ant Queen''s charred legs and antennae slowly moving back and forth.
He grinned to himself at the development before him as a series of notification windows appeared before him. He jumped off her body and began casually walking toward the Ant Queen.
"Please! Wait..." A sweet, seductive voice weakly called inside his head.
